PM Modi says no track II approach to tackle Kashmir | A great news | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 16: Last week, the BJP leader Yaswant Sinha-led five-member team submitted its six page report to the Union Home Minister, Rajnath Singh. The team had claimed that it visited Kashmir last month to make an on the spot study of the situation there and it will submit its report to the Union Government, which would urge the Central Government start parleys with Kashmiri separatists so that the Kashmir issue was resolved. The report praised Kashmiri separatists and also said that the team was of the view that excessive force was used against the Kashmiri protestors. Besides demanding compensation for those injured during those four moths of violent protests in Kashmir, the report suggested release of those booked under various charges and demanded action against those policemen or CRPF jawans who would be found guilty of using excessive force. The report also suggested withdrawal of the Public Safety Act and postponement of examinations. Not just this, it also talked of judicial commission. The general view was that the Yaswant sinha and his team members, including Wajahat Habibullah, Sushoba Barve, Bharat Bhushan and Kapil Kak had the Government of India's backing. It was not the correct view. It has now abundantly clear that it had no official backing and that Sinha and Co were poking their nose on their own. A report on Tuesday said that New Delhi was not in favour of track-II approach to tackling the Kashmir situation and it said that the Centre had dismissed the Sinha's report as "one-sided and without any clear pathway' to restore peace in the Valley". Your paper Early Times had written two stories on Sinha team, its visit to Srinagar and its report and had said that the "report was lop-sided and patently Kashmir-centric". The significant report quoting credible sources said that New Delhi was unhappy with such unofficial delegations and interventions in Kashmir. "These delegations have no mandate and it is not binding on the government to take cognizance of the same or work according to their recommendations," the report quoting a "top source" said. New Delhi made it absolutely clear that it would only talk to those who believe in Indian Constitution and the unity and integrity of India and this was the clear-cut stand of the Union Government. The stand of the Union government on the Sinha-led team and its report has, on the one hand, shocked the Kashmiri leaders and, on the other, enthralled the nationalists for obvious reasons. It is important to note that while desperate Kashmiri leaders, including Omar Abdullah, had hailed Sinha and his endeavour, many groups in Jammu had dismissed the Sinha exercise as a dangerous exercise and urged New Delhi to reject its report like Vajpayee rejected the NC's autonomy committee report. |
