| All is not well with BJP in J&K and at centre | | Against Kashmir policy | |
Early times Report
JAMMU, Aug 6: Troubles of the BJP are not ending; they are, in fact, multiplying with each passing moment. The situation has climaxed to the point that the concerned BJP lawmakers at the centre and in J&K have started debunking the claims of the RSS-BJP top brass that the situation in the state has started limping back to normalcy and charging their leadership with pursuing a self-destruct and nation-destruct policy in J&K.
On Friday, two major developments took place, one each in Delhi and Jammu. In Delhi, BJP MP from Bihar and former Union Home Secretary RK Singh lambasted his own government at the centre and accused it of pursuing wrong policies in J&K vis-à-vis separatists and terrorists. He vouched for pro-active policy against them and went to the extent of declaring that the BJP’s Kashmir policy was patently wrong.
“The current Kashmir strategy of the government is totally wrong. Its handling of separatists and some terrorists is not correct. It is wrong,” he said in the Lok Sabha in the presence of senior BJP ministers, including Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh whose Pakistan’s recent trip brought shame to India as his counterpart in Pakistan ill-treated him and the Pakistani government ill-treated the Indian media. Indeed, what he said was correct and what he said not only embarrassed the RSS-BJP top brass but also gave a long stick to the opposition to beat the Parivar mercilessly from right and left.
In Jammu, MLC and former J&K BJP state president Ashok Khajuria went several steps further and described the alliance between the BJP and the PDP unholy and didn’t spare his own party ministers.
Describing the formation of PDP-BJP Government in the state an “unholy alliance”, Khajuria told reporters that “any act of the state government hurting the national interest will be resisted and opposed”. “National interest is more sacrosanct than power,” he said, adding that he didn’t approve of his party minister’s stand that Burhan Wani’s killing was an accident. So much so, he said that the said minister was making such statements only to “save his chair” and added that the BJP’s policies were not “good for the health of the nationalists in the state”. He disclosed that he had been opposing his parties policies at the party forums and that he chose to meet the media to show his concerns.
Both the developments suggest that anger is brewing in the Sangh Parivar and that there is the possibility of more and more BJP lawmakers taking similar stands. It may not be good for the party but it certainly augurs well for the future of the state and nationalist minorities in the state.
