| Human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir | | Ten important facts | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 4: Extremists in Kashmir are talking about human rights violations, but they are not cataloguing the factors which are responsible for the human rights violations in the state. It is important to recognise ten important facts in order to understand the fundamental reasons which are responsible for the prevailing horrible human rights situation in the state.
One, the state policy has been ignoring the impact of genocide and destabilisation unleashed by non-state actors against the civilians. Two, institutions are not in place to gather information against violations committed by non-state actors. Three, the state institutions are not sensitised or structured to take suo-motto notice of human rights violations by non-state actors. Four, the state institutions are not structured to educate people about the dangers to the human and civil rights by the violence perpetrated by non-state actors.
Five, the state institutions are not ready to defend the integrity of democratic system which is reeling under the impact of violence perpetrated by non-state actors. Six, the state institutions are not even rudimentarily equipped to deal with the propaganda unleashed by violent regimes against the democratic order and the nation. Seven, the state institutions only recognise the over ground workers of secessionist enterprises in India as human and civil rights activists.
Eight, there is absence of encouragement to human rights NGOs and bodies who do not have a political agenda. The entire Left support to the human rights violations has been recognised as the legitimate human and civil rights activity. Almost all the human rights organisations, including the People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), are under the baneful influence of the Left, which considers India a congregation of over two dozen nations, with each nation having the right to secede.
Nine, India is the worst sufferers of terrorism, but, unlike the United States, the United Kingdom and so on, it has no anti-terror law. The Congress-led UPA even abolished POTA to pander to communalists and strengthen and expand its communal constituency. Not to have any anti-terror law is, in fact, an integral component of the Congress's state policy.
Ten, paradoxically, even the Indian foreign policy vis-a-vis Pakistan emboldens the non-state actors to perpetrate barbarities on the minorities with immunity and go scot-free. These are some of the causes responsible for the prevailing human rights situation, but the extremists and agents of Pakistan will not appreciate these factors. The reasons are not far to seek. It is for the general public to come forward to tear into such regressive forces which are violating their human rights. |
