What about right to life of the minority community in Kashmir? | Mirwaiz's attack on Government | | Rustam JAMMU, Sept 13: On Thursday, frustrated Jinnah in Mirwaiz Umar Farooq accused the State Government of violating the right to life in Kashmir and asserted that the NC leadership is morally dead. "The right to life is being totally violated and is under great threat in Kashmir. In fact, it has ceased to exist in the eyes of the rulers of Kashmir," he said after climbing a wall to a few reporters. "The rulers of Kashmir have turned shameless and morally dead and are acting as stooges of Delhi to implement the agenda of suppression and brutalization through their military might to crush the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir (read Kashmir)…The continued imposition of black laws like AFSPA provide a license to the forces to kill and the immunity from prosecution has emboldened the troops," he also told reporters who had gone to the resident of Mirwaiz to attend the press conference which was not allowed to take place by the law enforcing agencies for right reasons. Has Mirwaiz the right to talk of right to life and accuse the State Government of doing what it has been doing to keep the law and order situation under control? He has no moral right to talk about right to life. Where were he and his ilk when the fanatics in Kashmir under the inspiration of regressive and theocratic Pakistan unleashed a reign of senseless brutalities to frighten the miniscule minority of Kashmiri Hindus to force them to join the anti-India struggle? Where were Mirwaiz and ilk when the fanatics and separatists confronted the minority community with a choice between their persecution and exodus? Where were Mirwaiz and ilk when the votaries of Kashmir's merger with Pakistan perpetrated all kinds of barbarities on the minority community and ill-treated it and its daughters and sisters? Did any Kashmiri leader intervene when the fanatics were persecuting the minority community, which had to quit their homes and hearths in early 1990 to save their lives and for the sake of their religion and culture? Not a single Kashmiri leader intervened. On the contrary, things were allowed to deteriorate with a view to converting Kashmir into a one-community region. The fact of the matter is that not a single Kashmiri leader then raised a finger against those who were violating the minority community's right to life and right to live in their own motherland. They made common cause with the fanatics and the result was the exodus of the minority community from Kashmir, which continues to suffer outside the Valley even after 24 years of their migration. Hence, the likes of Mirwaiz have no right whatever to speak about the right to life. They should remember that those who attack the institution of the state have to face the consequences. If Mirwaiz and his ilk sincerely wish that no one dies in police-crowd clashes, then they have to come forward and ask the unruly elements in the Valley not to take the law of the land in their hands and behave like true Indians. There would be clashes and the resultant deaths in case the unruly elements continue to indulge in unlawful activities. It would be only proper to say that it is not the State Government but the likes of Mirwaiz and Geelani and their mentor Pakistan who are actually responsible for what has been happening in parts of the Kashmir valley. |
