| Who is funding anti- India seminars? | | CDR Gulmarg Meet -- I | | Neha
JAMMU, Oct 2 : The controversial Delhi-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) Centre for Dialogue and Reconciliation (CDR) has been organising anti-India seminars in different parts of the country, including Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir, for quite sometime now and adopting resolutions and submitting the same to the governments of India and Pakistan which, if considered and accepted, would surely damage India, give legitimacy to the politics of separatism, based on fanaticism, and enable Kashmiri leadership to enslave the unwilling and the already suffering people of Jammu and Ladakh on a permanent basis. All the resolutions which this NGO has adopted thus far are Kashmir-centric and, hence biased, provocative and seditious in a sense. It is a different issue that this NGO has been allowed to conduct its unsettling activities with impunity.
The executive director of this highly questionable NGO is Sushoba Barve. She has spending enormous amount to organise pro-separatist and anti-India events and entertain the selected few in highly costly hotels. Those whom she invites are also too well-known for their pro-separatist and pro-Pakistan views and some of the participants are also from Pakistan or from the POJK who are basically Pakistani agents. None of them spends from his/her own pocket for his/her board and lodging. The NGO also pays them airfare and TA and DA and it is very costly affair. All those who work with Barve and for her and who take part in such dubious events belong to a particular school of thought that holds New Delhi responsible for the "alienation" in Kashmir and accuse New Delhi of "not fulfilling the promises it made from time to time".
Some of those who take part in these controversial events are those who were persecuted and subsequently hounded out of Mirpur (POJK) in 1947 by the protagonists of the two-nation theory and who have been living in Jammu since then. One of them is holding an important position in the University of Jammu, who has been hobnobbing and flirting with undesirable elements since years and visited a few countries to misrepresent the Indian case. The executive director ensures the exclusion of those who can with utmost ease call the executive director's bluff and expose those who are not only pliable and amenable but who are also committed to what the executive director is committed to.
It is very significant to note that all or nearly all those whom Barve invites to take part in the anti-India events are self-styled Kashmir experts. They do not represent any segment of society. They only represent themselves and their perverted views and they conduct themselves and their activities in a clandestine manner. In fact, they are no more than mercenaries who masquerade as "conflict-managers" in gatherings which represent the same view. They are mortally afraid of facing those who hold the other view because they know they would get exposed in no time if they speak non-sense in their presence. The fact of the matter is that the lust for money, foreign tours and hospitality in costly hotels has led to the emergence of a class of mercenaries whose single-point agenda is to paint India black, misrepresent fact and speak their master's voice. They are, in short, no different from the US-based Pakistani agents of Kashmir origin like Ghulam Nabi Fai, Majeed Tramboo and Farooq Kathwari with whom interloctutors Dileep Padgaonkar and Radha Kumar also flirt and hobnob.
This much for the NGO and those who take part in the CDR-sponsored events and it should put things in perspective and make people understand what the CDR stands for. The CDR, in collaboration with another controversial Kashmir-based NGO, Women for Peace (WFP), organized a two-day seminar at Gulmarg on September 28 and 29. Some of those who took part in the aid seminar included Amina Bibi, parliamentarian Gilgit-Baltistan; Syeda Najma Shakur, president (Founder) Women Welfare Organisation, Poonch; Dr. Shaheen Akhter, professor International Relations Quaid-i-Azam University; Aisha Khan, CEO Mountain and Glacier Protection Organisation; Dr Aneesa Hasan, diagnostic radiologist; Dr Aneesa Shafi, HoD, Sociology Department, Kashmir University; Ghous-un-Nisa Jeelani, chairperson, District Legal Authority, Srinagar; Anjum Habib, author of "Prisoner no 100" and founder Muslim Khawateen Markaz; Prof Neerja Matoo, mother of former Jammu University Vice-Chancellor Amitabh Mattoo; and Zakia Abassi, student and youth activist.
