| NO change of guard on anvil | | Spurned by 'Dilli Durbar', Cong leaders make retreat | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Aug 4: Even as the delegation of senior Congress leaders have tried in vain to reach out to High Command in a bid to 'strike the iron' while it is hot, the response to these efforts has been cold, rather far fetched.. Some of the leaders have made a retreat from "Dilli Durbaar' while many are still camping in the national capital.
Sources said the even though the senior Congressmen from state including CLP leader Choudhary Mohammad Aslam did meet the dignitaries right from Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh to express their concern and apprehensions over turbulent situation in Kashmir, their approach was only seen as 'inopportune and untimely' by the Delhi leadership. Sources said while a calm and wise PM is believed to have given hearing to what all the J&K Congress men painted the picture about state and political leadership, they were rebuffed by some other veterans whom they met with a word of caution that they should fish in troubled waters in the similar way as opposition parties are doing at present.
Sources in Delhi added that even though these leaders tried to express concern aggravating things vis-a-vis situation in Kashmir but their basic agenda and actual grievance was wrapped in the fact of their known discomfiture and denial for incumbent chief of Pradesh Congress Committee Prof Saif-u-Din Soz for a host of reasons. Delhi leadership including incharge J&K Affairs Prithvi Raj Chavan is said to have admonished the leaders in the delegation for what has been inferred as having chosen wrong time under wrong circumstances for 'pushing through' their view point even though on sympathetic lines' to save the party.
"It was not at all acceptable at this point of time………they have been asking for same thing which opposition PDP, BJP or even Hurriyat leaders would like to happen ……veterans in Delhi have disapproved this approach and negated whatever suggestions and options J&K Congress leaders have given", said a senior leader of the party based in Delhi, adding that a serious view has been taken about the fact that instead of strengthening coalition and consolidating what Centre wants state government to do, it was strange and uncalled for what some leaders of alliance partner are doing just the opposite. Though some of the seasoned leaders proposed what they termed as remedial measures which could 'pacify' the things politically, the High Command has only seen these loaded with personal bias against either Omar Abdullah or Prof Soz, the sources added.
The approach of this 'delegation' from the state has only been viewed as 'opening and creating more troubled fronts' for the Congress High Command in particular and the Centre in general at a time when it is using all tactics and methods to douse Kashmir fire, sources said. Even though there are some sympathizers in Delhi of this camp which comprised many veterans from the state, the message given by them too for 'any change of guard' was - the time is not ripe and right.
