| DGP hits nail on the head, ridicules "freedom fighters" | | | NEHA
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Jan 5: Director General of Police Kuldeep Khoda on Monday hit the nail on the head. He jeered at and ridiculed the so-called freedom fighters in Kashmir. He virtually asked them to explain if Abdullah Bangroo, who brutally killed Mirwaiz Umar Farooq's father Mirwaiz Mohammad Farooq, on May 21, 1990 was also a "martyr." He drew the attention of the "freedom fighters" like Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik to the fact that both Mirwaiz Mohammad Farooq and Abdullah Bangroo have been buried in the same graveyard - graveyard practically earmarked for "martyrs." It is also called the "Martyrs' graveyard."
DGP Khoda ridiculed the freedom fighters" while reacting to the statement of former APHC chairman Abdul Ghani Bhat that Mirwaiz, Abdul Gani Lone of the People's Conference and Prof Mohammad Sultan Bhat were killed not by the army and the police but "by our own men" and that the "killers are already identified." Obviously, Bhat had hinted at Bangroo and others of his ilk who murdered the "freedom fighters" like Mirwaiz Farooq and Lone. Kuldeep Khoda made optimum use of the opportunity provided by none other than some leading Kashmiri separatists. Timing was appropriate and comments not just candid and pithy but also well conceived and appropriately articulated.
What exactly had the DGP said? He had, among other things, said: "The killed and the killers both have been labeled as martyrs and buried in the same graveyard. This is surprising. 'Mirwaiz Farooq was killed by militants. He and his killer (Abdullah Bangroo) were buried at martyrs' graveyard in Eidgah. It is so surprising that the killer and the victim - both have been buried as martyrs."
What the DGP said must have shaken the likes of Mirwaiz and Yasin Malik and rendered them and others of their ilk clueless. How will they explain this dichotomy? Or, how will they reconcile this glaring contradiction? They have to tell the people as to who of the two - Mirwaiz and Bangroo - was a "martyr." But more than that, what the DGP said and the manner in which he said and explained things must have made the politically conscious people of Kashmir to sit up and discuss the implications of the "martyr" and his killer buried in the same graveyard.
Leave alone the facts that the relations between the JKLF and the dreaded Hizbul Mujahideen have never been cordial and that both have taken on each other umpteen times; that the Pakistani-supported Hizbul Mujahideen killed a number of JKLF activists in the early 1990s; that the relations between Geelani and the likes of Mirwaiz, Malik and Bhat have never been cordial and that Geelani has all along sought to cut to size Mirwaiz, Yasin, Bhat, Shabbir Shah and others of their ilk; that the factional fight has resulted in the killing of several separatist leaders; that Abdul Gani Lone's younger son Sajjad Lone had refrained from befriending Mirwaiz Umar Farooq because he had witnessed Mirwaiz in the company of the killer of his father; that Islamabad has consistently played one faction against the other to promote its own interests in Kashmir; and so on. Leave alone the fact the fact that a number of paupers turned multi millionaire overnight in Kashmir. Also leave alone the fact that while the leading "freedom fighters" sent their sons and daughter to acquire education outside the state, they asked the common Kashmiris to boycott educational institutions saying "freedom is more important than education."
The moral of the story is that it's time for the people of Kashmir to put direct questions to the so-called to know who, according to them, is a "martyr" and what they have achieved for Kashmir. |
