| 'Kashmir belongs to Kashmiri Hindus' | | Delhi's utter failure | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 30: "Kashmir belongs to whom?" "To Kashmiri Hindus, the original inhabitants of the Land of Vitasta, Jhelum, and not to anybody else," This is what the outraged Kashmiri Hindus have been saying after the official spokesperson Naeem Akhtar and separatists of all hues upped their ante against the government proposal to set up "composite colonies" for the internally-displaced Kashmiri Hindus in the Valley.
The official spokesperson had given the mandate to Kashmiri civil society and separatists and declared that the State Government would go by what they say about the return to and rehabilitation of Kashmiri Hindus in the Valley. In fact, they made it clear that the Kashmiri Hindus were not wanted in the Valley.
What shocked them all the more was the very hostile response the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti's May 28 "transit camp" suggestion evoked from Geelani, Mirwaiz and Malik. Ruling out the possibility of setting up composite townships in the Valley, Mehbooba Mufti said in the Assembly that she wanted "transit camps" for the Kashmiri Hindus in the Valley till the time the issue was not finally clinched. These fanatics not only opposed the proposal on the establishment of "composite townships" and "transit camps" for Kashmiri Hindus in the Valley but also rejected the idea of establishing Sainik Colonies in Kashmir meant for non-state subject ex-soldiers. They charged Mehbooba Mufti with hatching a conspiracy in collaboration with the RSS to change the demography of the state and undermine its "Muslim-majority character".
As if all this was not enough to outrage the sensitivities of the expelled Kashmiri Hindus, the political elite at the helm of affairs in New Delhi conducted itself in a manner which gave the community to understand that it was also not on their side. Ram Madhav, for example, said in Srinagar two days ago that the government would talk to all "stakeholders, including Kashmiri Hindus" to settle the issue. By leaving everything to the judgment of what he called stakeholders, he only gave respectability to those in Kashmir who expelled the Kashmiri Hindus more than two decades ago. And what he said was obviously the official line of the BJP, which is ruling the country and which is also part of the State Government.
Who are Geelani, Mirwaiz and Malik? They are no body. The Kashmiri Hindus are the real stakeholders in Kashmir. Their history is over 5000 year old and it is they who represent the Indian ethos, Indian culture and Indian civilization in the Valley. They do not represent that Kashmiri milieu which terrorized the humanity, caused exodus of the Kashmiri Hindus, subverted everything Indian in the Valley. They hate the existing Kashmiri "milieu" and that the reason they pitch for separate homeland in the Valley.
It is a matter of grave concern that the authorities in 1990 utterly failed to protect the Kashmiri Hindus and the result was their exodus and the authorities who are at the helm today in New Delhi are scuttling the return issue by putting the ball in the court of seditionists.
The prevailing discontent in the internally displaced Kashmiri Hindus needs to be viewed in this context. |
