| Gani Vakil a saboteur, NC man in Congress? | | |
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, May 27: Is MLC Abdul Gani Vakil a Congressman or is he a NC man in Congress? Is he serving the cause of the Congress or is he advocating secessionism - NC style? The answer to both the questions appears to be in the affirmative. He is not serving the cause of the Congress. He is only sabotaging it by not only working against the JKPCC chief Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz, but also by airing views which are completely consistent with the views of the NC. This is a simple fact.
That Abdul Gani Vakil is harming the interests of the Congress party so brazenly could be seen from the fact that he has been organizing parallel functions to bring bad name to the party and giving unqualified support to the controversial and pro-National Conference recommendations made by Justice Saghir Ahmed, chairman of the Working Group on Centre-State relations - recommendations made unilaterally without taking the members of the Working Group into confidence.
Abdul Gani Vakil has consistently given support to these controversial recommendations, which have been repudiated outright by all, barring the NC, for one reason or the other. He has not just given an unqualified support to the out-and-out pro-autonomy recommendations, but has also, like the Congress Sewa Dal, accused the critics of these recommendations of "misleading people".
It may appear unbelievable but it is a fact that he has condemned in unequivocal terms those who have rejected the Saghir Ahmed's recommendations. "We would not allow them (critics of recommendations) to succeed in their evil designs and fight till last breath against elements, who are trying to weaken India and Congress by raking up unreal issues", he has said while taking on the opponents of the Saghir recommendations. In other words, he has condemned those who have been urging the Union Government to reject the report of Justice Saghir Ahmed and bring the state at par with other states of the country.
The views of Vakil on the Justice Saghir Ahmed report and those who have been vehemently opposing it and, particularly his ludicrous and provocative assertion that those who have been opposing the recommendations are actually "weakening India" and the "Congress party" could be legitimately taken to mean an onslaught on the country's unity and integrity and negation of what the Indian Constitution envisages. But more than that, his views on the Saghir recommendations establish that he is religiously pursuing the NC line on India and Jammu and Kashmir. The NC consistently condemns the Congress and holds it squarely responsible for the alienation of Kashmiri Muslims from New Delhi.
It is hardly necessary to comment here on what the NC president, the state chief minister and his uncle and NC MLA, Members of Parliament Mohammad Shafi Uri and Mahboob Beg said while condemning the Congress and J L Nehru at Srinagar on May 13 and 14 last.
It is pertinent to mention here that the NC has hatred for the Indian Constitution. It wants New Delhi to allow the state to shape its destiny outside the constitutional organization of India. The Congress party doesn't stand for what the NC stands for. In fact, the Congress has been winning elections, particularly in the Jammu province on a nationalist and pro-Jammu planks. The moment the Congress party would endorse the views of Abdul Gani Vakil, who is also known for making irresponsible statements against JKPCC president Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz and creating factionalism within the party, the party would become untouchable in the Jammu province. For, a very vast majority of the people of Jammu (and for that matter the people of Ladakh and other religious and ethnic groups in the state) is vehemently opposed to what Abdul Gani Vakil advocates and says.
It is time for the JKPCC to rein in Abdul Gani Vakil, who has been consistently breaking the party discipline and acting as the NC agent in the Congress. There is no doubt that Vakil is there in the Congress only to damage it and promote the NC's perverted ideology.
