Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 20: Chalo Kashmir has become the mantra of the Delhi-based mercenaries, who otherwise masquerade as conflict-managers, trouble-shooters, democrats and secularists. Ever since the killing of Burhan Wani, a dreaded Hizb terrorist, on July 8, a number of teams of self-styled think-tanks visited Srinagar to interact with those who set Kashmir on fire, made the life of the common people a veritable hell on earth and tried their best to further the anti-India cause of Pakistan.
The latest team that visited Kashmir the other day was led by Seema Mustafa, who had been advocating the separatists' line since decades. She led a four-member team and she said that its objective to "assess the situation in the aftermath of the unrest following the killing of Burhan Wani". This team will release its report on December 6 in New Delhi.
"Four of us have come here as an independent group. This is not a political mission. This is not for any kind of mediation between New Delhi and Srinagar. We thought of trying and bringing out a comprehensive report by speaking not so much to those in authority, but more to the people of Srinagar," Seema Mustafa, who heads the Centre for Policy Analysis, was quoted as saying after the team concluded its Srinagar visit.
Whom did Seema and her team members meet? She herself said: "The team met a cross-section of people, including separatist leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, and held detailed discussions with them on the situation in the Valley.
Our emphasis has been on people. We have met more than 70 people, a lot of young people, different members of the media, bureaucracy and academicians. We had very long and detailed discussions with them. From the separatist camp, we met the Mirwaiz. We could meet only him. We tried to meet Syed Ali Shah Geelani but could not, though we spoke to him on telephone and we spoke to JKLF chief Yasin Malik as well. As the Hurriyat is now united, so we presume that the Mirwaiz spoke for everybody".
She further said that their report would be based on the conversations they had with Mirwaiz and others in Kashmir. It is obvious that its report would be as biased as that of Yaswant Sinha's and report of Medha Patekar and Kavita Krishnan.
It is strange that these fake conflict-managers or think tanks base their reports on what they hear in Kashmir overlooking the fact that there also exist Jammu and Ladakh which house fifty per cent of state population, who have their own aspirations, complaints.
Any report prepared by anybody that doesn't include Jammu and Ladakh and their people's aspirations and complaints is utterly unacceptable; it has no meaning. |
