Time to act in Kashmir has come
2/17/2018 11:23:05 PM

Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 17: Time has finally come for the BJP-led NDA Government to act and act tough in the militant-infested Jammu & Kashmir. The situation is such that Army and other security forces have to play a very pro-active role to eliminate the menace of terrorism in the Valley and other parts of the state, especially Jammu, which has been witnessing deadly terror attacks on occasions and that too on vital army installations. The latest attack was at Army Camp Sunjuwan. Earlier, they had attacked the 16 Corps Headquarters of the Indian Army at Nagrota.
New Delhi has to understand that there is no other option left for it except to adopt a hard approach and discard the approach it has so far followed. The policy of granting amnesty to stone-pelters would not do. It would only promote separatism and the cult of violence and spurt in terror-related activities in the state. To go by the ill-motivated suggestions of the so-called human rights activists and maintain restraint has not worked and nor will it ever work. The separatists take it to mean the weakness of the Union Government.
And, the leaders like Farooq Abdullah in Kashmir, who interfere in the India's foreign policy matters day-in and day-out and demand talks with Pakistan have to be told candidly that they must behave and not muddy waters in Kashmir by singing the Pakistani song. Had Farooq Abdullah and ilk spoken the language in Pakistan they speak in India, they would have been put behind bars then and there.
Jammu & Kashmir is the only state in the country where persons in power and in opposition comment on the Indian foreign policy matters. They do not spare even the floor of the Assembly and Council. They only keep the Kashmir pot boiling to promote their electoral interests in the Valley.
In contrast, the men-in-power in Bihar, UP, Sikkim and Uttrakhand whose borders touch Nepal have hardly spoken on the Indo-Nepal relations, and rightly. For, it is the Indian Foreign Office which is meant to deal with and comment on issues of Indo-Pak or Indo-Nepal import. Political leaders in Kashmir pitch for dialogue with the aggressor Pakistan knowing it full well that the people of Jammu and Ladakh, who occupy almost 90 per cent of the state's land area, hate and despise Pakistan: They were, and are, intensely pro-India and the mandate that they gave in 2014 was a clearly indication of what they stood for.
New Delhi would do well to appreciate the developing situation in Jammu & Kashmir and take appropriate measures before it is too late. In fact, it is already too late.
