If talks with Pak help promote peace in Kashmir let Delhi take the risk
7/26/2016 12:15:48 AM
If the main opposition National Conference and the PDP favour sustained dialogue with Pakistan and separatists for resolving the ongoing turmoil in Kashmir the two parties are not wrong. In fact the genesis of the turmoil is not simply the killing of Burhan Wani because in the past scores of top militants were eliminated and it was simply responded by mild protests and participation of people,irrespective of their age,in the burial ceremony.That was all.If in 2010 the vale of Kashmir was rocked by violence in which 120 people were killed in five-month long turmoil it was the outcome of a killing of two innocent boys.Protests led to added clashes between the security forces and the protesters and more people got killed.This time also within a span of 17 days over 46 people are killed and over 2,000 people,including 1400 security personnel have been killed. Still there is no immediate signs of a thaw which would be treated as return of peace. Chief Minister,Mehbooba Mufti is right when she blamed certain vested interests for derailing peace and that too when tourist arrival has started picking up.Not only the tourism trade has been affected but pilgrim tourist which is a big money spinning machine too has been impacted with several thousand pilgrims cancelling their plan to visit Kashmir and offer prayers at the mountain cave of Amarnath.
Yes, there is no doubt about the involvement of Pakistan and its agents in Kashmir,including separatists,in the recent turmoil.Now that the Government has not been able to stem the anti-India tide and violence two mainstream political parties,the ruling PDP and the opposition NC have been demanding reopening of channels of dialogue with separatists and Pakistan..Well the NC leadership expects too much from talks with Pakistan and separatists as the NC wants talks to continue till there is a peaceful political solution to the Kashmir issue.It seems the NC leadership is trying to feign ignorance because it should know it well that Pakistan wants incorporation of Kashmir with Pakistan when India is opposed to it.Now it is for the PDP and the NC to understand whether they demand talks for ending the current crisis or for resolving the Kahsmir kissue.
If the PDP and the NC support sustained talks with Pakistan and separatists for ensuring peace in Kashmir and its borders it is then a genuine demand. But if the tgwo parties believe that through the process of dialogue the Kashmir issue can be resolved they are mistaken.Already Pakistan Prime Minister,Nawaz Sharif, who is riding on cloud nine after his party's victory in the Assembly election in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir,has stated that he and his Government will never ditch Kashmiris which simply means that he and his Government will continue to export terror to Jammu and Kashmir.Pakistan wants viollence to continue in Kahsmir because Islamabad believes that more killings and violence alone can focus world attention to the Kashmir issue.
If the NC and the PDP want talks to be held with Pakistan and separatists are the two parties ready to accept the demand for grant of right of self-determination to people of Jammu and Kashmir.This way reeopening of channels of talks with separatists and Pakistan is a nice idea but will it produce results ? If the talks end the current crisis,violence talks should be held.
