| Let separatists give up obduracy for reason | | |
It seems that even the moderates in the separatist camp have started adopting the role of the hardliners.Whether they imitate hawks or not the moderates seem to be dead set to oppose anything that the state Government or the centre decide or offer.The latest instance to prove the obduracy on the part of the moderates is their reaction to the announcement of the state Government on appointing a two-member judicial commission for probing into the circumstances that led to the killing of 17 youths in the firing opened by the security forces in Kashmir between June 11 and middle of July. No doubt the decision of the state Government to set up a judicial commission for inquiring into the incidents of violence which led to the death of 17 people has been the result of the recommendations made during the recently convened All Party meeting in Srinagar the decision should have been welcomed by the separatists.Atleast the commission will unravel the factors
behind the violence and establish whether the police firing was called for or not.If it was not called for who were officers who had ordered security personnel to open fire on the protesting crowds.Reports have revealed that the Government is aware of the names of the officers who were responsible for ordering forces to open fire.The report cannot be denied but whenever violence erupts,deaths take place and there is largescale turmoil it is necessary for the Government to institute a commission for probing into the incidents and fix responsibility on those who were behind the trouble or behind firing on the protesters.And if the state Government has set up a judicial commission it needs to be welcomed and appreciated.The Government has not entrusted the task of carrying out a probe to retired or inservice bureaucrats.It has not entrusted the task of finding the truth behind the police firing and turmoil to political leaders.Had it done so separatists
could smell motives.But by giving the job of probing into the incidents of violence and police firing to two retired high court judges,Justice Bashir-ud-Din,and Justice Y.P.Nargotra the Government has lent sanctity the the entire exercise on finding what went wrong and who were responsible for the deaths. After having moved from the moderate camp to the camp of hawks Chairman All Party Hurriyat Conference,Molvi Umar Farooq,described the Government decision on appointing a judicial commission for probing into the circusmtances that led to the killing of 17 people as an "eye-wash".The reaction is not only amazing but shocking.Instead of appreciating the Government announcement the Maulana ridiculed it.Possibly he did so to keep the hawks and the militants in good humour.The Maulana is intelligent and he must have read the pulse of those supporting separatists when he found that the effigies of Syed Salahuddin,Chief of Muzaffarabad based United Jehad
Council,opposed the prolonged shutdown and protest rallies.The protesters did not even spare the leaders of Jamait-e-Islami who had favoured end to the current spell of violence and shutdown.Hence the APHC chairman thought it better to oppose the judicial commission in the way he announced his unwillingess to accept invitation for talks with Delhi.In order to keep his political face beaming he said talks with the separatists could be resumed only after all the detained political leaders were set free,AFSPA was repealed,troops were withdrawn and those youths who had been arrested on charge of pelting stones on the security forces be released.Before the rise of the current turmoil in Kashmir Maulana and his colleagues in the APHC were keen to see the Delhi-separatists talks being resumed.They are now reluctant after they find people enraged and determined to fight for azadi.If the separatists consider themselves as the political face of the ongoing
movement for liberation they need to adopt a democratic process of holding talks with the Government of India and project their views on various political,constitutional and security related matters.By adopting a policy of isolationism they were endangering people of Kashmir and harming their cause,if they have any genuine one. Let them come forward and engage themselves in the battle of wits and words with the mainstream political leaders and Delhi.
