JAMMU, May 24: Kashmiri separatists of all hues and parties like the NC have been hailing former Prime Minister Vajpayee and urging PM Modi to follow in his footsteps to resolve the so-called Kashmir issue.
Why do they hail Vajpayee? They hail Vajpayee because he wanted to make the separatist-friendly, divisive, communal, anti-Jammu, anti-Ladakh and anti-minorities Article 370 a permanent feature of the Indian Constitution and also wanted to resolve the Kashmir issue by accommodating Pakistan in this part of the state. Indeed, there are cogent reasons for Kashmiri separatists and others in the Valley to hail Vajpayee.
That Vajpayee had planned to barter J&K and seal the fate of Jammu and Ladakh as early as in 1999 could be seen from the revelations made by former Pakistan Foreign Secretary Niaz Naik. Niaz A. Naik had very categorically spoken of a "secret understanding between Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to resolve the Kashmir issue by October 1999.
The proposals, according to Naik, before both governments ranged from the "conversion of the Line of Control into an international border to the establishment of both parts of (Jammu and) Kashmir into an autonomous zone".
Naik, who was the secret envoy sent by Sharif to confer with Vajpayee in the middle of the Kargil crisis, had further said that the talks leading to the solution of Kashmir would continue if the BJP won the Lok Sabha election in 2004. He was also reported to have said that "if any other party formed the government after the elections, Pakistan would not continue with the talks".
Significantly, Naik had laid great emphasis on back channel diplomacy, claiming that "in Pakistan only he, the present foreign secretary, the foreign minister and the Prime Minister were aware of the plans" that "in India in the know, according to him, were the Prime Minister, his principal secretary Brajesh Mishra, External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh and defence Minister George Fernandes".
What Naik revealed should clinch the whole issue and establish that the NDA Government under Vajpayee had planned a coup against India and that had the BJP won the 2004 Lok Sabha election, J&K by now would have become part of Pakistan and the fate of the non-Muslim minorities belong to J&K would have been the same as that of the non-Muslim minorities in Pakistan in 1947-1948.
Ironically, the present dispensation in New Delhi is also pursuing the same policy and driving the state out of India inch by inch. It's no wonder that the minorities in the state have raised a banner of revolt against the Modi Government and said that they will not allow New Delhi to do what Vajpayee wanted to do to fulfill his urge for Noble Peace Prize.
