It is grapes are sour for Kashmiri separatists | Behind the veil | | EARLY TIMES REPORT Jammu, Oct 11: It is grapes are sour story for the Kashmiri separatists.When the senior functionaries of the United Nations and the US Government recently announced that Kashmir issue was a bilateral problem which needed to be settled through negotations between Delhi and Islamabad the separatists put up a brave face saying that atleast these two bodies have not announced that Kashmir is an integral part of India. A senior separatist leader,Prof.Abdul Gani Bhat,said that "we need not feel perturbed by the stand taken by the UN and the USA which is being considered as an attempt at sidelining us." Bhat said that "we do not believe in the politics of counting the mangoe trees,we are interested in eating the fruit.""Explaining it hee said that the separatists "want settlement of tthe Kashmir issue.If it is resolveed through talks between New Delhi and Islamabaad or through triangular parleys we are not concerned about it." The Hurriyat leader said that "we want a settlement of the problem which could satisfy the aspirations of the people of the state,Pakistan and India."He said that "our eagerness to settle the Kashmir issue is the outcome of our firm belief that peace in the south Asian region was linked with the resolution of the Kashmir problem." When reminded that the latest conclave,organised by the Deoband,had declared that Kashmir "is an integral part of India" Bhat gave a big laugh and said that one should understand the "compulsions of muslims in India."He said that usually the muslims in India do not go against the Government's policy on various issue including that of Kashmir. Bhat and other separatists were not ready to be influenced by the latest st atement from the Darul Uloom Deoband and its influential Jamait Ulema-e-Hind which affirmed that Jammu and Kashmir was an integral part of India. These separatists said that eeven the worrld's two super powers,China and America, besides the UNO have not been treating Jammu and Kashmir as an integral part of India. They said that "we are neither governed by,as far as our political issues were concerned, by the Deoband,nor by the Jamai Ulema-e-Hind nor by Jamait-e-Islami Hind". They said "we have our separate Jamait-e-Islami."The separatists said that after all both the Deoband and Jamai-e-Ulema are organisations that look after the interests, social, polittical and relgious,of the muslims in India.These bodies have no role to play in Jammu and Kashmir. Bhat said "we go by the history of the problem.""Had there been no Kashmir problem why has the Government of India given a special status to the state?Why has the Governmentt of Inddia allowed the state to have a separate constitution and the flag which is not witnessed in any other st ate."This way the separatist ss are not ready to get unnerved either by the resolution adopted at a conference organised by Darul Uloom Deoband.or by the UN and the US stand declaring that Kashmir was a problem between India and Pakistan. |
