Wah, for Farooq Abdullah, BJP-RSS is divisive, Hurriyat is nationalist and secular
Elections 2019

Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 16: The upcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly elections are very crucial for Jammu & Kashmir, said NC president Farooq Abdullah on Friday in Srinagar while interacting with some delegations. He told the visiting delegations that the forthcoming general elections were "significant as they will characterize the recourse of the state for next half a decade" and that it had become to defeat the divisive agenda of the RSS-BJP combine".
"It is high time for the people of all Jammu & Kashmir regions - Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh - to put up a strong front against the divisive agenda of the RSS-BJP in the state and forge unity across the state against it" was the upshot of his whole argument. "If the people of the state don't forge unity at this time, the posterity will not forgive us" was his refrain.
In other words, Farooq Abdullah gave a clean chit to his own outfit NC, which had been clamouring from greater autonomy, bordering on sovereignty, since decades; terming the Indian Constitution as a tool of subversion of the state's special status; denying the Hindu-Sikh refugees from Pakistan their natural right to vote, education, property and job in the state they had been living in since their migration to Jammu in 1947; pitching for dialogue with Pakistan saying Jammu & Kashmir was not a settled issue; perpetrating on Jammu and Ladakh injustice after injustice; and supporting overtly and covertly Hurriyat Conference, a conglomerate of Pakistan-funded, supported, indoctrinated and controlled tightly by Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Obviously, Farooq Abdullah also overlooked what he had said three years ago in Srinagar. He had asked his party workers to join Hurriyat Conference to support its Azadi movement, saying that the NC was not against the Hurriyat, but with the Hurriyat.
Farooq Abdullah also gave a clean chit to the Mehbooba Mufti's PDP and Sajad Lone's People's Conference. While the PDP stood for self-rule, Indo-Pakistan joint-control on Jammu & Kashmir, demilitarization, dual currency, soft borders or porous LoC and dialogue with the Hurriyat Conference, Sajad Lone's PC stood for nation state status for Jammu & Kashmir and a solution that was acceptable to the majority community. Farooq Abdullah didn't find anything divisive in the otherwise highly divisive agenda being pursued by the PDP and the PC.
Similarly, Farooq Abdullah didn't find anything wrong with the Hurriyat operatives like SA Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik, the well-known Pakistani agents based in Kashmir. Who in the world doesn't know that they have been since decades fomenting anti-India troubles, preaching secession and advocating a doctrine which, if given an effect to, will convert Jammu & Kashmir into another Pakistan?
The short point is that Farooq Abdullah considers secessionism as nationalism and nationalism as secessionism or divisive politics. But such things can happen only in India. By making such ridiculous statements, Farooq Abdullah is only adding to the anger of the already rather angry Jammu and Ladakh whose watchword is India, whose battle-cry is India and whose slogan is Bharat Mata Ki Jai - angry because New Delhi always consider Jamu and Ladakh irrelevant despite the fact that the people of both these regions always hold the national flag high and form the backbone of the nation in the terrorist-infested state.
