| Abandoning the national interest, Preparing for a retreat? | | Sinister Moves Afoot | | Neha
Jammu, Apr 11: Just in the prelude to the Union Home Minister's visit to the state, hectic activity was on in Kashmir to prevent any unpleasant happening or statement. The state government must have been concerned about the unrest in the returnee migrant employees living in various transition camps. The Kashmiri Hindu ladies have been quite furious about the daily dose of harassment they have been receiving while performing their new acquired jobs. Some of them are determined even go to the extent of explaining their condition to Sonia Gandhi and then hand over their resignation letters to the most powerful lady on the planet. A group of Kashmiri Hindu lobbyists masquerading as KP leaders for quite some time, some of whom are suspected to have been in the Dr Fai's seminar circuit reportedly visited a transition camp and reportedly tried to discourage them from undertaking any action which would embarrass the governments in the state and at the Centre. The counseling reportedly was more of intimidation and harassment rather than reasoning based on facts.
Perhaps part of the same campaign the Kashmiri Hindu "peaceniks" were reported to have met a prominent Hurriyat leader to seek his blessings and consent for the return of internally displaced Kashmiri Hindus. For last couple of years, both the governments in the state and at the Centre have been investing in planting and projecting pliable Kashmiri Hindus willing to toe a separatist or semi-separatist line publicly. The campaign has now assumed a momentum of its own. A compromise with Muslim communal demands can be clothed in secular cloaks through a group of willing mercenaries. The visit by the United Nations representative to the state was done in an environment of willingness not to defend the AFPSA at the level of government and catalyze an adverse remark from the UN representative so that the state government and the Central government are able to neutralize or roughshod the opposition of the army top brass to the removal of AFPSA. The campaign to affect a retreat from within seems to be a protracted effort and perhaps linked to the invitation to the representatives of Amnesty International sometime back who indulged more in political talks rather than human rights.
The pressures building on Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief and mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks Hafiz Saeed at the international level seem to have led to a perverted response on the Indian side. Tehrik-e-Huriyat chief Syed Ali Shah Geelani continues to receive patronage, protection and respect from Government of India perhaps more than what Hafiz Saeed is receiving in Pakistan. It is not yet certain as to what is the import of the enquiry of MHA to ascertain the links of Dr Fai in India. But it is almost certain that the Indian lobbyists in Fai Circuit are enjoying power and patronage more than anytime in the past. The Government of India is perhaps in a fix because it knows that the proposals emanating from the track-2 lobbyists on Indian side from time to time have been no different than the proposals sponsored by Dr Fai. The linkage is so sinister and treacherous that it has the potential of unraveling the Kashmir policy of the Government of India and exposing it to an international censure for being in cohorts with persons like Dr Fai.
As the prelude to Prime Minister's Pak visit is being shaped, the so-called track-II actors (read mercenaries) employed by the government on the ground in Jammu & Kashmir are growing in confidence, and if their activities and utterances are to be taken into consideration, then a sinister retreat is in the offing. Those who believe that the present government is weak enough to do anything substantial may be left shocked because powers that are guiding the Indo-Pak exchange seem to be pushing ahead knowing very well that the weak government at the helm in India is their best choice. |
