| Strengthen ideology of NC to get semi-independence | | Equitable Development, NC-Style -- II | | Rustam
JAMMU, Nov 22: The NC leaders said their ideology stands for secularism and brotherhood. This is not true. As mentioned, the NC stands against secularism and brotherhood. Even the JKPCC president, Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz, says so. He said only the other day that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has been indulging in mere sloganeering, instead of focusing his attention on issues of governance". Prof Soz is not an ordinary man. He has worked with and for the NC for decades and who knows more about the NC than him. No NC leader, not even Omar Abdullah, has contested what Prof Soz said. Even otherwise, the insistence of NC on pre-1953 status and its stand on accession, Army, AFSPA, to mention only three, clearly suggests that the NC believes in and preaches an ideology that raises a high wall between Kashmir and the rest of the country. It doesn't stand for peace and tranquility; Omar Abdullah July 2008 Parliament statement that "We will not give an inch of land" should clear all the cobwebs of confusion.
The NC leaders also said that their party stands for an equitable development of the state. Had this been the case or had the NC treated Jammu and Ladakh equally with Kashmir at all levels and in all spheres, there would have been no demand in Jammu and Ladakh for reorganization. The fact is that the NC has all along treated Jammu and Ladakh shabbily and perpetrated on them injustice after injustice in order to develop Kashmir at the cost of the state's two other regions. The fact is that the NC has done all that it could to destroy Jammu and Ladakh socially, economically and politically.
Will the NC, which is ruling the state since January 5, 2009, bring out a white paper containing details on the money spent in Kashmir and Jammu, respectively, between 2009 and till date? Will the NC publish a white paper containing details on the persons employed in Kashmir and Jammu, respectively, during this period? Will the NC bring out a white paper containing details on the money spent in Kashmir and Jammu, respectively, on the construction of roads, power generation, tourism development, agriculture, horticulture, sericulture, education, health services and infrastructural development? Will the NC bring out a white paper containing details on the revenue Kashmir and Jammu, respectively, generate annually? There is no need to publish a white paper on these subjects pre-2009. A white paper on these subjects post-2009 would be enough to lay bare the disparities between the false claims and the ground situation and the disparities would be glaring.
What the million Dollar question is: Will the NC bring out a comprehensive white paper containing details on the money spent in Kashmir and Jammu, respectively, and establish that its claims on equitable development are not hollow? It will not because such an exercise would expose the NC leadership.
The NC leaders, particularly those belonging to Jammu province, would do well to look all these facts in the face and stop fooling the people by making false claims. They would also do well to understand that the people understand how the rallies are organized. A change of heart on their part is in their own interest. The NC was, and is, a Kashmir-centric highly controversial outfit. This is the stark reality and they should recognize it. The sooner they do so the better. (Concluded) |
