| BJP, Cong join hands, ridicule 'immature' Bhutto | | J&K legitimately Indian | | Neha
JAMMU, Oct 24: It's great news that the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress were on the same the other day as far as their stand on J&K and Benazir Bhutto's son and war-monger Bilawal Bhutto was concerned. The other day, they rejected Pakistan People's Party chief Bilawal Bhutto who said that he would take the entire J&K from India, as it legitimately belonged to Pakistan. "When I raise Kashmir, the entire Hindustan screams.
They know when a Bhutto speaks, they (Indians) have no answer. We will take back (Jammu&)Kashmir from India," he said in Karachi. Last month also, he had said that if Pakistan People's Party (PPP) was voted to power then it will take back Kashmir into its fold from India. "I will take back Kashmir, all of it, and I will not leave behind a single inch of it because, like the other provinces, it belongs to Pakistan," he had said in Islamabad during a meeting with his party workers.
As expected, the irresponsible statements were ridiculed both last month and on Monday. Last month, the BJP and the Indian Foreign Ministry had in one voice rejected the statements of Bilawal Bhutto as unworthy of any response and rightly said J&K was an integral part of India, the accession of J&K with India was final and non-negotiable and the only issue that still needed to be resolved between India and Pakistan was the political future of the illegally occupied territories, including POJK and Gilgit-Baltistan.
On Monday, the Bhutto's irresponsible statements were also considered unworthy of any response both by the BJP and the Congress. Both the parties dismissed Bhutto as "immature" and just illiterate and advised him to study history in general and the 1975 Simla Agreement between the victorious India and the comprehensively defeated Pakistan. The fact is that both the national parties chose to ignore his rants on J&K. "As far as Bilawal Bhutto is concerned, he is not taken seriously in his own country, why should we take him seriously. He needs to grow up and he is quite immature as far as political scenario is concerned," said BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra. It would be only desirable if the read the Simla Agreement and be aware about the region. Interestingly, the Congress also took the same line.
Expressing almost identical views, Congress leader Rashid Alvi, who speaks on behalf the Congress party quite often, said: "Bilawal is still a child; he doesn't know much about politics, in order to pull people towards his favour he makes such statements. Such statements neither make any sense nor will anyone take them seriously".
It was perhaps for the first time in years that the BJP and the Congress spoke the same language while ridiculing Bhutto. This should be the approach when it comes to national unity and the country's territorial integrity.
That they spoke in one language augurs well for the country, as it tells the international community that no power on earth can snatch even an inch of Indian territories in J&K.
It is hoped that all the political parties, including those in the Kashmir Valley, would work in unison to defeat the Pakistani leadership, both in power and out of power. The Congress party, which behaved in an irresponsible manner on Thursday during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Kashmir by boycotting him, needs to be as vocal as the ruling party at the centre as far as foreign policy issues is concerned. |
