| Desperate NC Crossing All lines Army protecting national interest by making supreme sacrifices | | | Neha
JAMMU, Apr 19: Something is fundamentally wrong with those in New Delhi charged with the responsibility of internal and external security. They are ignoring what certain NC leaders are saying day in and day out against the Army which has been playing a splendid role in the State since 1947 and defeating the Pakistani evil designs making supreme sacrifices. Thousands and thousands of our soldiers have laid down their invaluable lives defending the territorial integrity of India during all these 65 years of the State's accession to India.
Their splendid contribution and sacrifices should have been recognized and appreciated by the authorities in the State and at the Centre, but it has not been actually happening.
On the contrary, certain NC leaders, including Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, additional general secretary of the NC Mustafa Kamaal, MP Mehboob Beg, to mention only a few, have been consistently criticizing the Army, with the authorities in the New Delhi's South and North Blocks not doing anything to rein in the irresponsible NC leaders and others of their ilk in Kashmir and elsewhere in the country. The indifferent attitude of the powers-that-be in New Delhi has only emboldened the NC leaders to intensify their ill-designed no-holds-barred campaign against the Army with a view to creating a situation that suits Pakistan and Kashmiri secessionists.
The situation has climaxed to the point that even marginal NC leaders like Beg have been pouring venom on the Army and asking the Government of India to "restrain the Army from" what they call "politicking", saying "it is against the national interest". Only yesterday, Beg took on the Army and asked the Army not to discuss things publicly. "There are two ways for the Army to give its feedback. One is directly to Prime Minister and second is through its agencies. However, the way they are going public is against national interests," Beg reportedly told reporters on the sidelines of a function in Tral in South Kashmir's Pulwama district. Not only this, he administered a warning to the Government of India. "I warn the Government of India to restrain Army from making statements in public as policy decisions are taken by political leadership and should be left to Prime Minister or Chief Minister," he said while responding to a media query on AFSPA.
Beg not only denounced the Army, but he also advocated clemency for Afzal Guru, convicted in the Parliament terrorist attack case, expressed himself in favour of greater "internal autonomy" and said that the "National Conference believes that Kashmir is a political issue and its leadership is committed to resolve it politically". "The Chief Minister has number of times told Central leadership that Kashmir is a political issues and its solution is important for peace and prosperity of the State," he, in fact, said in this regard and added that "once the Kashmir issue would get resolved, a new era of amity would start in Indo-Pak ties".
It was indeed ridiculous that Beg would take on the Army for its very reasonable stand on the AFSPA saying the Army just cannot make any statement in public on policy matters and would, at the same time, term Jammu and Kashmir as a "political issue" that needs to be resolved politically, demand autonomy for the State from India and speak on behalf of the aggressor Pakistan. He sought to make the gullible people of Tral and through the media others to believe that what the Army says about those demanding revocation of the AFSPA is against the national interest and what he and others of his ilk in the National Conference say about Kashmir, Pakistan, internal autonomy and about the dreaded terrorist Afzal Guru is in the national interest.
It is only India where the likes of Beg are allowed to castigate the Army and administer warnings to the Government of India itself. We have become a banana republic, it appears. What else should one say considering the fact that the likes of Beg openly and publicly spew venom on the Indian Army and snub the Union Government and go scot-free? Had such things happened in Pakistan, China, the US, or for that matter in any State worth its name, the likes of Beg would have been shown their rightful place. Credit goes to the Indian Army which never allows its patience to end. The Army's patience might not end, but the patience of the Indian nation has ended and that's the reason the Congress party is suffering one humiliating defeat after another throughout the country.
Any way, we need Generals like VK Singh who do not mince words, mean business, hit the nail on the head and thoroughly expose those working against the Indian State. Remember, it is primarily because of General VK Singh and his committed team of Generals which have put their foot down and defeated the desperate and frustrated NC-led Government's sinister move on AFSPA. |
