Early Times Report
srinagar, Feb 12: Yasin Malik's Pakistan visit and his sharing the dais with LeT chief Hafiz Saeed has given National Conference a whip to beat the Centre with. It has accused the Centre of facilitating separatist activities in the State. Dr Mustafa Kamaal, additional secretary of NC, who recently called for plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir, on Monday described Malik sharing the dais with Saeed as "unfortunate." "Saeed has links with Mumbai attacks. Now it is for New Delhi to decide. Now New Delhi's conscience should be stirred and people should see what the country is doing," Kamaal said.
"Why do you treat separatists like VIPs within the country and facilitating their travel to different countries. You allow them to go to Pakistan and create problems for pro-India parties principally the NC. Why this duplicity?" he asked.
Banned Jamat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed and Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front chairman Yasin Malik were on hunger strike against the execution of Afzal Guru, in Islamabad on Sunday.
He accused New Delhi of grooming separatists for taking over in J&K. "I remember former Governor Jagmohan in his book, My Frozen Turbulence, has stated that he wanted to groom separatist Shabir Shah to be the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir.
Is New Delhi grooming separatists to take over charge of Jammu and Kashmir," Kamaal asked.
On February 5, Shabir Shah had addressed several rallies in Pakistan, including one at Multan organised by JuD and other groups.
Pakistan Government, opposition and religious groups organised Kashmir Day on February 5 as Solidarity Day for the people of Kashmir.
Earlier, a seven-member Hurriyat delegation had visited Pakistan from December 15-28, 2012, comprising Hurriyat chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, professor Gani Bhat, Bilal Gani Lone, Moulana Abbas Ansari, Aga Syed Al-Hasan, Musadiq Adil and Mukhtar Ahmad Waza had all the top Pakistani leaders. |
