| Perverted Barkha & NDTV cannot be allowed to go scot-free | | FOURTH ESTATE OR PART OF ANTI-INDIA MOVEMENT -- I | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Aug 25: It is now almost clear that Burkha Dutt, who, like journalist Kuldip Nayar, has her roots in Sialkot (Pakistan), and her news channel NDTV are part of the ongoing secessionist and communal movement in the Kashmir Valley. Barkha Dutt has been organizing lop-sided, valley-centric and out-and-out anti-India debates on Kashmir at regular intervals not only in her Delhi-based studio but also in Kashmir. She is ensuring participation in such anti-India and pro-separatist debates of only those who are rabidly anti-India and rank communalists and their non-Muslim sympathizers and supporters. She is very careful while selecting panelists. She sees to it that only such persons are invited to participate in the debates on Kashmir who have hatred for India and contempt for everything Indian, minus the hard-earned Indian rupees, and whose single-point agenda is to preach and achieve secession or whose bottom-line is secession.
Not only she describes what these fundamentalists say during such debates as the viewpoint of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, she also puts her perverted formulations in their mouths so that they speak what she wants them to speak. She organizes debates with a motive and not to educate the public opinion about the realities in the state. Besides, she herself attacks the Indian State and accuses the Indian Prime Ministers of going back on their promises on Kashmir. To be more precise, she has become the chief spokesperson of the Kashmiri separatists and extremists. There should be no doubt about it.
On Tuesday night, she organized one such anti-India and patently pro-separatist debate in Srinagar under the caption "Kashmir's future in their own voices" and nearly twenty boys and girls took part in the debate. Two boys were from Ladakh (both Buddhists), three from Jammu province (one Kashmiri Muslim from Doda, one Sikh from Poonch and one Hindu from Kathua) and the remaining nearly 15 boys and girls were from Kashmir. The Kashmiri participants also included five Kashmiri Hindu boys and girls, most of them displaced and Delhi-based. In addition, Barkha also ensured the participation in the anti-India debate of a foreigner couch and her patently pro-separatist wife, who would repeatedly say "she is not a Kashmiri, but she looks like a Kashmir."
All the Muslim participants from Kashmir, without any exception, condemned India and demanded independence from it. All of them said they were Muslims and they could not live in what they called oppressive and aggressor India. They were all well-read, articulate and indoctrinated. They did not see anything wrong in the decision of Dukhtaran-e-Milat chief Asiya Andrabi's decision to send her 18-year-old son to Malaysia for higher studies. Each one of them denounced the army and the CRPF; each one of them behaved like Jinnah behaved during the Indian freedom struggle and demanded separation from India; each one of them demanded revocation of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) describing it as draconian; each one of them defended the dreaded stone-throwers; each one of them accused New Delhi of "violating human rights" of the people of Kashmir; each one of them said "don't look back, don't discuss history, discuss the present and future"; each one of them opposed the idea of division of the state and each one of them asserted that Kashmir means the whole of the state, not just Kashmir Valley; each one of them sang the same song, used the same terminology, tone and tenor; each one of them declared they will not accept anything short of independence; each one of them asked the non-Muslim participants to join the anti-India struggle shamelessly saying "our inspiration is our religion"; each one of them asserted "independent Kashmir is a sustainable goal"; and each one of them said :don't care for education, care for the innocent people"; and each one of them said "Kashmir is ethnically different" and "India is an aggressor."
As for the perverted, motivated and highly indoctrinated Barkha Dutt, who claims that she is an Indian, she not only gave them ample time, but also stood by them in her own style. Not even once, not even once, she contested any of the points the Kashmiri fanatics raised during the nearly 90-minute-long debate (10 p.m. to 11.30 p.m.). On the contrary, she encouraged them to the hilt through her perverted and motivated formulations and comments. She appeared one of them, for them and by them.
As expected, the Kashmiri Hindu participants from Kashmir and New Delhi, perhaps part of the Roots in Kashmir that took part in the anti-India dharna at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, on August 7, where such anti-India slogans were raised as "We want Azadi" and "Azadi means Islamic rule", all claimed that they were Kashmiri Hindus and that they shared the agony and grief of their Muslim brethren. Each one of them attacked the Indian State; each one of them accused the Indian State of "violating the human rights of the Kashmiri Muslims; each one of expressed solidarity with the stone throwers in Kashmir; each one of them demanded repeal of the AFSPA; the heart of each one of them bled for the slain stone throwers; some of them said "Kashmiris have been suffering, don't talk in terms of Muslims and Hindus"; one of them said that "Delhi doesn't care for the frustrated and suffering people of Kashmir, we are ethnically Kashmiris and make army responsible for killings"; and a couple of them did oppose the demand for independence. Notwithstanding this opposition to the idea of the state becoming independent or autonomous, each one of them let down and disgraced India and the Indian security forces. They were, it appears, mercenaries. Their interventions helped the cause of the Kashmiri separatists and damaged the cause of their own community which has been living in exile since 1990.
