JAMMU, Nov 25: Two self-styled freedom fighters in Kashmir on Sunday shamelessly talked about human rights abuses in the Valley and attacked the Indian State. The case in point is what terrorist Syed Ali Shah Geelani, who has been thriving on the sweat and blood of his co-religionists and murderer Yasin Malik said.
Their place should have been in jail, but they are roaming freely because the State administration is not discharging its obligations towards the people, the State and the country as a whole. On Sunday, while Geelani termed Jammu and Kashmir as an oppressed state and accused New Delhi of caring more for the "national interest" than the "human rights and the principles of justice", Malik also said almost the same thing and urged New Delhi to uphold human rights in Jammu and Kashmir.
Both of them termed India as an aggressor and both of them said that the Indian State is oppressive. Whose human rights they talked about? They cannot talk about the human rights of those who have been ruling the state and exploiting the people of Jammu and Ladakh for more than six decades now.
It must remain a matter of shame for both of them that they not only attacked the over-generous New Delhi that has consistently pampered communalist, separatist and extremists in the Valley but also conveniently suppressed many facts. One, they did not say that Kashmir was once a hundred per cent Hindu region and that today they and their ilk have converted it into a region of "believers" alone. Two, they did not say that they forced the miniscule minority of Kashmiri Hindus and many Sikhs to vacate the Valley to become refugees in their own motherland. Three, they did not say that attempts are being made to rid the Valley of all the left over "non-believers" and that the movement to purge the Valley of the poor labourers from Bihar, Odisha and other Indian States is on with Geelani and his ilk directing the Kashmiris not to rent out their houses to the "outsiders".
How can the likes of Geelani, Malik and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq talk of human rights when they themselves are the worst violators of the human rights of the minority communities in the state? Don't they know that they and a section of the sect to which the Valley's ruling elite belongs have made the life of the people of Jammu province, which also houses about 1.5 million refugees of all varieties, a veritable hell on earth by deriving them of their fundamental and natural civil, political and economic rights and by establishing their stranglehold over all the institutions in the state.
They must stop advocating outrageous views. It is the people of Jammu and Ladakh whose rights are being trampled upon with impunity. It's no wonder then that the fed up people of Jammu and Ladakh want a separate dispensation to protect and advance further their legitimate interests. The worst aspect of the whole situation all along has been that New Delhi has never sided with the persecuted and under-constant-threat minority communities. That's the fundamental factor that has further emboldened the murderers, extremists, communalists and separatists in the prosperous Kashmir Valley. |
