| Who arranged Mehbooba’s controversial meetings in Pak?, asks BJP | | | Early Times Reporter
Jammu | Apr 8
State BJP Vice-President and spokesman Prof Hari Om today asked the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre to inform the nation as to who arranged meetings between former Pakistan Premier Nawaz Shrief and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti during her just-concluded visit to Pakistan, where she talked of “dual power-sharing arrangement and its subsequent combination with India and Pakistan polity” or talked of sharing of sovereignty in J&K between India and Pakistan and “supra state measures”. Was it, asked the BJP spokesman, the First Secretary or certain other top-ranking officials in the High Commission, who arranged meetings between the PDP president and Pakistani leaders?
Prof Hari Om said the meetings between the PDP president and Pakistani leaders constituted a serious development and it must alarm and disturb all the friends and well-wishers of India because it was during these arranged meetings that the PDP president told the Pakistani leaders in clear terms that her party shared the Pakistan’s stand on J&K. That the PDP, which is sharing power with the Congress in J&K, which is also part of the rag-tag Congress-led UPA and which only the other day contested the claim that J&K is an integral part of India, undoubtedly committed an act of constitutional impropriety and took a line in Pakistan which was nothing less than an expression of no-confidence in the Indian Constitution and the Indian polity became more than obvious when she, in the presence of the PPP Co-Chairman, demanded “fair deal” for the people of Kashmir, BJP spokesman asserted, and asked from whom did she demand fair deal – from India or from Pakistan?
Prof Hari Om urged the concerned authorities in the Indian Foreign Office (IFO) in the South Block to look into the whole issue and expose those who arranged the said meetings between the PDP president and Pakistani leaders. Indian embassies, he said, are there across the world for watching the country’s paramount interests and keeping an eye on undesirable elements, whosoever they are, including those working in these embassies. He further asked the IFO to ensure that those whose credentials are doubtful and who are known for preaching controversial views are not permitted to leave India and their passports impounded. Such an approach, he said, has become all the more imperative in view the negative role the PDP president and others of her ilk played in Pakistan, which harmed the country’s vital interests. |
