| Wikileaks do not present a true picture of facts | | Amarnath Land Row -I | | Neha
JAMMU, Sep 6: One may or may not endorse what the Wikileaks revealed the other day about what happened in Kashmir during the Amarnath land row, but one would surely question the absence of any reference to what happened in Jammu during those eventful and epoch-making days. One would also like to compare the nature of the movement in Jammu with that of the nature of movement in Kashmir. For, the two movements, which started almost at the same time, stood for different goals and objectives.
The movement in Kashmir was launched by the extremists and it was supported by the entire political class in Kashmir with New Delhi also doing its best to keep the trouble-makers on its right side by making outrageous statements and by dubbing the people of Jammu province communal and disturbers of peace. The movement in Kashmir was communal and it was launched and supported by those who believed in and practiced regressive ideology and who outraged the religious sentiments of millions and millions of Indians. Their movement was directed both against the religious belief of the Hindus across the world and it was also directed against the Indian State. The extremists in Kashmir used the Amarnath land issue as a pretext to force down the nation's throat their communal and primitive ideology and they made several attempts to bring in the movement Pakistan.
The extremists and primitive forces in Kashmir, including the NC and the PDP leadership, described the movement in Kashmir as a movement against those who, they said, had conspired to alter the demographic profile of Kashmir. Some of them had described the Amarnath yatra as a cultural invasion on Kashmir and as an attempt at Indianizing Kashmir. They had also described the Amarnath yatra a concerted move to destroy the Kashmir's ecology and pollute the Kashmir's salubrious environment. Besides, the extremists in Kashmir had dubbed the Indian labourers working in Kashmir as sinners and they had hounded out of Kashmir all those workers belonging to different parts of India.
Not just this, the extremists in Kashmir had organized anti-India demonstrations and long marches. They had also sought to internationalize the so-called Kashmir issue by submitting memoranda to the United Nations. Besides, they and their supporters attacked the Indian Army and paramilitary forces umpteen times to enforce their regressive ideology. In fact, they succeeded in their sinister game-plan in a sense. The Congress-led coalition government bowed before the Kashmir extremists, subverted the High Court directions and snatched from the Shrine Board the Baltal land which had been diverted to it in May 2008. Ghulam Nabi Azad was the Chief Minister and he had to resign under pressure from the people of Jammu. The State Governor, N N Vohra, also played a role nobody except the extremists in Kashmir and the Congress leadership in New Delhi appreciated. The then NC MP Omar Abdullah exposed himself by making an outrageous statement in the Parliament: "This land belongs to us; we will not give an inch of land".
Mufti Mohammad Syed, Mehbooba Mufti, Farooq Abdullah, Mehboob Beg, Tarigami, to mention only a few, all swung solidly behind the extremists and regressive and communal forces in Kashmir. Their objective was the same: No land could be given to the Shrine Board. Their stand on Jammu was the same: Those in Jammu demanding retransfer of the land to the Shrine Board were communal, anti-Kashmir, and even anti-national. Their methodology was also the same: Browbeat and blackmail India to ensure the defeat of the movement in Jammu and enable the extremists in Kashmir to achieve what they wanted to achieve. Their reckless behaviour and actions created an environment in Jammu that forced them not to visit Jammu for months together; they were so afraid.
The truth, in short, is that the extremists in Kashmir and their supporters in the establishment ultimately suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the ardent devotees of Lord Shiva. (To be continued) |
