| Farooq in Srinagar and Delhi | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 8: NC president Farooq Abdullah can say anything anytime to create confusion and befriend and annoy anyone depending upon which audience he is facing or addressing or speaking at a particular place and responding to whom.
Only on December 6, he offered unqualified support to Hurriyat Conference, saying that it must move ahead and that he will direct his party workers not to stay way from the anti-India azadi movement but join the movement. He said the "entire nation" (read Muslims) had sacrificed itself for the cause of azadi and that "we will not achieve our freedom if we remain divided". Only a united leadership could achieve the goal he said while addressing party workers at the mausoleum of his father Sheikh Abdullah on his 11the birth anniversary at Naseem Bagh on the outskirts of Srinagar, and added that "we have to achieve the goal".
Farooq Abdullah said many other things but the message was the same: The NC with the Hurriyat not against it and NC not the adversary of the Hurriyat but friend of the Hurriyat. All this happened on December 6 and Farooq Abdullah stole the headlines.
Just within 48 hours, Farooq Abdullah changed colours and in Delhi. He didn't say that he was not with the Hurriyat but raised a serious question on the Hurriyat's very concept of azadi. Emphasizing the need to converting the Line of Control into an international border between India and Pakistsan, Farooq Abdullah took on the Hurriyat. "Hurriyat has been a strong but a confused votary of 'azadi' and Kashmir 'banega' Pakistan," he, among other things, said while tearing into the Hurriyat and questioning its very concept of Azadi.
This is Farooq Abdullah. However, the question arises why does he favour conversion of the Line of Control into international border? The answer is simple and straight. The answer is if POJK and Gilgit-Baltistan got reintegrated into J&K, the sect to which he belongs and which has been ruling the roost since 1947, will at once lose its political importance. It would be reduced to a microscopic minority and the people of Jammu, Ladakh, PoJK and Gilgit-Baltistan would assume power.
It needs to be underlined that it was Jawaharlal Nehru who at the behest of Sheikh Abdullah, Farooq Abdullah's father, that he ordered ceasefire at a time when the Indian Army had the Pakistani invaders on the run and it was about to evict the Pakistani invaders from the PoJK and Gilgit-Baltistan. The purpose behind this sinister move was to ensure the rise of a situation that enabled Sheikh Abdullah to become Sultan of Kashmir and rule over not only Kashmir but on Jammu and Ladakh as well unhindered.
All this should call the bluff of Farooq Abdullah and establish that he, like others belonging to his sect, doesn't want his Kashmir to lose power. |
