Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 22: The historic decision of the Union Government that the refugees from Pakistan be granted domicile certificates so that they are recruited in Central Services, including Central Forces, and its implementation by the Jammu & Kashmir Government has not gone down well with Kashmiri leaders of all shades of opinion and it was expected. The decision has, in fact, united the separatists, NC and the Congress and they have rejected the decision and the Hurriyat Conference has called strike on Friday (December 23).
The so-called chairman of Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) Shabbir Ahmad Shah, the so-called Nelson Mandela of Kashmir, was the first to oppose the decision. "The government's move of issuing the domicile certificates to West Pakistan Refugees (WPR) is a well-planned conspiracy against the Muslim majority status of Jammu & Kashmir. The Peoples Democratic Party by playing a major role in this regard has exposed its anti-Kashmir stance. This is a well-planned conspiracy of saffron brigade and PDP. The Mufti-led government is so obsessed with power that it doesn't consider even its own consequences…The people of the State will resist such move tooth and nail," he has said.
Immediately thereafter, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik also took the plunge. They issued a joint statement, which, besides rejecting outright the decision of the Union Government and its compliance by the Jammu & Kashmir Government, also asked the people of Kashmir to strike work on Friday. .
The nasty statement, inter-alia, read like this: "Issuing domicile certificates to West Pakistan Refugees, Supreme Court (SC) verdict on Jammu & Kashmir over Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002, (SARFAESI Act), are the challenges to the sovereignty of Jammu & Kashmir. Allowing outside banks to confiscate and hold properties in Jammu Kashmir are the issues of life and death for our existence as Muslims and Kashmiris. The PDP has again started working on its anti-Kashmir and anti-Muslim agenda but people of Jammu & Kashmir will not hesitate to offer any sacrifice to oppose such actions tooth and nail. These maneuvers (are) an attempt to change the demography of Jammu & Kashmir".
Independent MLA from Langate, Er Rasheed, also lambasted New Delhi and the Jammu & Kashmir Government. He in a shameless manner said that Delhi was conducting itself in Kashmir like Israel had been conducting itself in Palestine and also asked Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti either to snap ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or step down in the interest of Kashmir.
Asking Mehbooba Mufti to "break her ties" with the BJP and step down without "befooling the people further," Rasheed said: "The move to grant domicile to lakhs of West Pakistan refugees is a calculated move to change the demography of the State. The Government of India is doing exactly the same what Israelis did in Palestine…Mehbooba Mufti is bulldozing the rights of the majority community and breaking all the previous records of traitors since 1947".
Not only separatists, the National Conference (NC) and the Congress president also took joined the bandwagon of the separatists.
"Since the issue (issuance of domicile certificates) was debatable, the Chief Minister should have called an All-Party meeting on it. It was the PDP which was vehemently opposing granting of domicile certificate to West Pakistan refugees," JKPCC chief Ghulam Ahmad Mir said. "Granting of domicile to West Pakistan refugees is an attack on the State's special position," he has said.
The NC general secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar also spoke the same language and said the decision to grant citizenship rights was an attack on the State's special position.
"This move is aimed at changing demography of Jammu & Kashmir. They (BJP) want to reduce the Muslim majority of the State into minority. New Delhi is calling shots in Kashmir. We feel pity on Mehbooba Mufti's helplessness before State BJP and the Centre. The BJP's candid admission that the move will pave the way for granting state subject rights to West Pakistan refugees, exposes the nefarious designs behind the move," he has, among other things, said.
It is surprising no leader from the BJP or any other party in Jammu has countered the Kashmiri leaders. They must come forward and join the empower-Pakistan-Refugees-Crusade. This is a must to defeat the Kashmiri evil game plan. |
