| NC displays its bias against Jammu | | Opening of IIT | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 8: That the NC was patently pro-Kashmir and pro-Kashmiri Muslims was never in any doubt; it consistently flaunted its bias in favour of Kashmir and the followers of one particular religion in Kashmir. Besides, it consistently batted for the exclusion of J&K from the political and constitutional organization of India. In fact, the history of the NC is the history of anti-India struggle and struggle for destruction of Jammu and Ladakh. However, its top leaders while speaking against New Delhi and Jammu used to be somewhat diplomatic. They would speak in a manner that would mislead some to believe that the NC stood for the whole of J&K State; that it was a mainstream organization; and that it was for India and Indian unity. The NC top leaders, in fact, would take recourse to rhetoric.
However, on Sunday, the NC crossed all the lines and displayed its bias against Jammu in a most brazen manner. It said by opening Indian Institute of Technology in Jammu, the Union Government outraged the sentiments of Kashmiri people.
Denouncing the inauguration of the IIT in Jammu on August 6 by Union Human Resources Development Minister Prakash Javadekar, the NC questioned the time and said: "The timing of inauguration of the IIT in Jammu 'was insensitive towards the people of Kashmir and underlined the party's contempt towards the sentiment in the Valley'.
When you cut ribbons in Jammu at a time when Kashmir is on fire and when coffins of young boys are being lowered into graves here, it highlights your abject lack of humanity and empathy".
The NC completely overlooked the fact that Javadekar had also announced Rs 100 crore for the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar and this, notwithstanding the fact that this institute had witnessed several anti-India demonstrations and attacks on the non-Kashmiri students. Only last week, the fanatics attacked the non-Kashmiri students in the campus, put up of photos of slain terrorist Burhan Wani and so on.
The NC not only condemned the Union Government and described the inauguration of IIT as a step towards the division of the state, but also asked New Delhi to start unconditional dialogue with Pakistan and Hurriyat, saying there was no other alternative available.
"New Delhi should engage in an unconditional, open-ended, comprehensive and sustained dialogue process with Pakistan and acknowledge that Pakistan is a party to the complex, vexed conflict in Kashmir…Chest-thumping over bluster in Islamabad might help the BJP in the upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, but would further catalyse the agitation in Kashmir. We will continue losing our youth in the absence of New Delhi evolving and rising to the occasion…The Prime Minister's deafening silence is also a tragedy in its own right," they said.
The statement of the NC that Pakistan was a party to J&K only exposed its double-speak and established that it, like the Hurriyat, represents Pakistan in Kashmir.
Now that the NC has condemned the opening of the IIT in Jammu and declared that Pakistan is a party to J&K issue, it's time for the people of Jammu and Ladakh to respond in an appropriate manner. They have to expose it, isolate it and create a condition that no one goes near any of the NC leaders. |
