Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 24: The decision of the Centre government to deploy J&K police personnel along Indo-Nepal border to check illegal entry of Kashmiri youth has exposed the much-hyped Rehabilitation policy .
The policy was aimed at facilitating return of youth who had crossed over the border to seek arms training but now intend to come back. It was step forward from the surrender policy but was dependent on the cooperation of Pakistan government.
This fact was deliberately or ignorantly ignored not by just the chief minister but even by the union home minister P Chidambaram
On a visit to Jammu in March 2009, the time when this policy was announced, he not only extended support to it but even out rightly rejected the role of Pakistan in it.
"What I have to do with Pakistan in it," had said Chidambaram, when asked if Pak has been kept in loop.
The very fact that Pakistan will not allow these youth to return and that too on visa applications filed on behalf of their relatives now appears was deliberately downplayed to support the policy of Omar Abdullah, when the government had completed just one year in the office. Pak by allowing them to return that too via internationally accepted routes would have stands exposed for abetting and harbouring terrorists.
The policy required cooperation of the Pakistan which from the very beginning was clear was not forthcoming.
Even senior state police officials has conceded privately that its flawed policy which is more on political stunt than a substantive and comprehensive policy.
Now after more than two-year even CM had admitted that even though application on the behalf of the youth had been received but not a single person has been able to come because of the non-cooperation of the Pak.
But the flawed policy has only resulted that now youth have started to come via Nepal in the hope of getting rehabilitated there. It has set alarms bell ringing in the Centre as such entry of such youth illegally couldn't be monitored and there is every chance that they may again indulge in anti-national activities.
