Former chief of Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), A S Daulat, meeting the former J&K chief minister, Farooq Abdullah, at his Gupkar residence-which has been turned into a sub-jail-in Srinagar, has triggered the speculations that National Conference has softened its stand.
Media reports suggest that Daulat could have been sent as a special messenger. He met senior Abdullah in mid February and since then NC has restarted its political activities at its headquarter in Srinagar.
Everyone is trying to figure out would have transpired between Farooq Abdullah, who is the incumbent Member Parliament from Srinagar, and the former RAW chief. Some are saying after Daulat has met Abdullah the NC leaders are refraining from giving any statements on controversial issues. Even two NC MPs have gone silent.
The reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories has left the Kashmir centric parties issueless. All the parties, including NC, PDP and others, have been left with nothing to sell. These parties during all these years just kept on thriving on slogans, and had created a notion that Kashmir is an issue which needs to be settled. Their politics revolved around Pakistan and separatists being the stakeholders and Kashmir centric parties being a bridge.
Post August 5, 2019, situation has changed completely. J&K has become a Union Territory and no scope has been left for the third party intervention. There is a possibility about Daulat making this clear to senior Abdullah and asking him to accept the new set up. NC and other Kashmir centric parties have been left with a very few options. Either these parties have to fall in the line or say goodbye to the politics. Ball is in their court and the leaders of these parties will have to take a call.
Only Daulat and senior Abdullah can tell what both of them discussed but the most important question which NC has to answer is that will Kashmir's grand old party forget the past? Or will it still pursue its agenda to seek autonomy and harp about Kashmir being an issue?
Prolonged detention of Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah is an indication that the government is not ready to take any chance. Helmsmen don't want anyone to come out and fish in troubled waters. Maintaining peace and tranquility in J&K post August 5, 2019 has been the government's priority and it still continues to be the most important task. |
