Separatists, Farooq speak in one language Message from Srinagar, Mumbai 11/21/2016 10:31:30 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Nov 21: Who says National Conference president and three-time J&K Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah is a mainstream leader? He is not. He has been making statements similar to what the separatists of all varieties make on a daily basis. Has he not said Kashmir never was and will never be an integral part of India? Has he not at regular intervals demanded autonomy from India? Has he not repeatedly said that J&K was a Muslim-majority state and it must enjoy a status different from other states of the Union have? He has repeatedly put forth divisive and communal views. And see what he and the separatists said on the Kashmir situation on Sunday. Farooq spoke in Mumbai and separatists in Srinagar. The separatists said: "The market rush, dense transport and hustle and bustle should not be mistaken by our crude oppressor and their renegades that we have forgotten their brutality or our goal of freedom has gone out of our sight. The overwhelming admiration and commitment of the people was a clear message for the government that our resistance is not our hobby, but a willful and mindful passion for right to self-determination and it will continue and intensify with each passing phase of our movement". The statement was issued jointly by Hurriyat (G) chairman, Syed Ali Geelani, Hurriyat (M) chairman, Mirwaiz Molvi Umar Farooq and JKLF chief Muhammad Yasin Malik. In Mumbai, Farooq said the same thing but in a different way. Rejecting reports that normalcy was returning to the strife-hit Valley, he said talks with all stakeholders, including Hurriyat, was the only way to resolve the issue. "The incumbent coalition government in J&K is not working on the lines of its joint working manifesto (PDP-BJP agenda of alliance), which talks about holding talks with the Hurriyat. I am of the firm view that if Kashmir issue has to be resolved forever, then we would have to talk to all stakeholders, including Hurriyat," he reportedly said, and added that "if there is indeed something like that (normalcy), it would be short lived". Where is the difference between what the separatists said in joint statement in Srinagar and what Farooq Abdullah said in Mumbai? There was no fundamental difference. And here lies the problem. All are on the same page, all speak against India and all say J&K is a disputed region.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
