Jammu, Feb 13: Is Kashmir really changing? While nobody can be fully sure about it, the political experts do see a changing trend in the Valley.
For the first time in the past two decades the Hurriyat (M) chairman, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq has taken interest in governance issues. He took the government to task for its failure to provide basic facilities to the people. His criticism was welcomed by the Chief Minister.
Earlier former Hurriyat chairman, Professor Abdul Ghani Bhat wants to take the pro-Indian political parties along. According to him, it can speed up the resolution process. This evoked a reaction from Hizbul Mujahideen Chief, Syed Salah-ud-Din. "If pro-India politicians show concern and rise above petty considerations there is no harm in taking them along", he said.
He also favoured `meaningful' talks with India. "If the talks are meaningful, the Hurriyat should not stay away from the negotiating table", he said in a recent statement.
And if Hurriyat (G) chairman, Syed Ali Geelani's, political activities in New Delhi is any indicator, the change can be clearly foreseen. However there are a few impediments. An important constituent of Hurriyat (G), Muslim League is dismayed over Geelani's activities in Delhi. Headed by jailed Masrat Alam the constituent has dissociated itself from such activities. Alam, pertinent to mention, has been held responsible for the 2010 agitation.
Interestingly the government of India has allowed Geelani to move around in New Delhi. Last year he was confined to his house with Delhi Police personnel keeping strict vigil on him. |
