| Kishtwar communal violence: Politicians fail to rise aboveS political motiveS | | |
Early Time Report
Jammu, Aug 17: The Kishtwar violence had given a chance to political leaders across the state to rise above their political motives and work for the betterment of society and state on the whole but these leaders have failed and lost an opportunity to unite the state.
This is not true of leaders of only couple of parties like National Conference (NC) and Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) but leaders from Congress, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), National Panthers Party (NPP) and much more adopted a political stand and started doing politics on the blood of people of the state.
As on one side the BJP senior leaders Arun Jaitley decided to reach Kishtwar and do politics, other politicians also tried to head towards the area to meet people and address their issues. But their move came at wrong time and one who should have reached the violence hit town the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah didn't go there.
Leaders of other political parties only adopted one sided approach and didn't go for constructive purpose.
The Kishtwar violence had given people a chance to rise above the personal benefits and give all out support to the government and administration to reach out to the people and cool down the tempers. But this hasn't happen so far and people in Kishtwar are still suffering after eights days of curfew, there is no relaxation and people are confined to their houses only.
Setting up an enquiry and waiting for the report will not heal the wounds of those, whose relatives have been killed and those who have lost everything in these communal clashes. The saffron town of Kishtwar, known for its beauty and communal brotherhood and land of saints is in tears but no one has come forward to address the issue.
The law and parliamentary affairs minister Mir Saifullah reached Kishtwar to unfurl the national flag but didn't move beyond the helipad, which has shown how serious the government is in solving the matter.
Time has come when political leaders should rise above their personal and political benefits and work for future or otherwise the flames of Kishtwar violence will not douse down. |
