JAMMU, Mar 10: JKLF chairman and the so-called Gandhian Yasin Malik yesterday returned to India after campaigning against the Indian nation in Pakistan, where he also shared dais with India's enemy number one Lashkar-e-Taiba/Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed, who in collaboration with Islamabad masterminded the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, which culminated in the gruesome killing of 166 innocents, besides police personnel. He stayed there in Pakistan for more than one month, organized dharna in Islamabad to protest the hanging of Afzal Guru, held meetings with his masters to discuss ways and means to disintegrate India and did all that he could to tarnish India's image.
His sharing of dais with Saeed had caused unrest across the nation with almost all the parties denouncing the Congress-led UPA Government saying it granted passport to Malik overlooking his anti-national credentials and demanded stringent action against the seditionists. Even Congress spokespersons questioned the activities of Malik in Pakistan and suggested that it was time for the government to take action against Malik and censure Islamabad.
The enraged Indians and various political parties had demanded two things - stringent action against Malik and revocation of his passport so that a right message was sent to the Kashmiri separatists.
Mercifully, neither the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) nor the Indian Foreign Office (IFO) said a word on the acts of sedition committed by Malik on the foreign soil. A couple of reports did appear suggesting that the IFO could impound his passport.
A report to this effect appeared in a section of print media today suggesting that the Government of India is unlikely to impound his passport or put the seditionist behind bars. The report emanated from New Delhi after a number of young nationalists tried to manhandle and thrash Malik at the Indira Gandhi International Airport with the security forces, instead of booking him under charge of sedition, providing him foolproof security as if he had returned to India after promoting the national cause in the enemy's country. The security forces took him to the guest house as if a hero had returned to India.
It was no wonder then that the emboldened Malik roared saying he committed no wrong by sharing dais with Saeed and tarnishing the Indian image and asserting that he had also met Saeed in 2006, which
is a fact.
But what happened today negated those reports. The Congress government yesterday allowed Malik to go scot-free and today he reached Srinagar. Of course, he was taken into custody at the Srinagar airport and put under house rest. It's all drama. For, he will continue to preach sedition from his house like other separatists like Geelani. In fact, he did that today from his Maisuma house, where he was put under house arrest. He, inter-alia, said: "Saeed's presence was highlighted in order to divert world attention from the happenings in Kashmir". This is the way the world ends not with bang but with a whimper. It's now clear that the Congress was not committed to what its spokespersons said in the wake of anti-India dharna, organized by Malik at Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, in which Saeed also participated to ridicule the Indian state, and that it was a mere posturing calculated to mislead the outraged nation. The Congress government did what it was expected to do. Yesterday, the Congress
government not only disgraced itself by condoning the crimes committed by Malik on the foreign soil, but it also outraged further the sentiments of the nation and insulted martyrs of Mendhar - Lance Naik
Sudhakar Singh and Lance Naik Hem Raj - by extending a warm welcome to Pakistan Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf with External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid hosting him a royal dinner at Jaipur at a time when the people in Jaipur, Ajmer and other areas were protesting against his so-called private visit and describing the conduct of the Congress government and Khurshid as "shameful". Don't expect anything good from the Congress party, as it has, according to many, ceased to be a party of the Indians.
