| Danger to India from Indian State, track--II operatives | | Jammu & Kashmir: Enemy Within | | Rustam
Jammu, May 3: The Indian nation is not afraid of Pakistan and its agents who are masquerading as "freedom fighters" in Kashmir. Indian can tackle them in no time. There should be no doubt. The Indian nation is afraid of the enemy within and the number of enemies within is multiplying with each passing day. And, at a time when the international situation favours India and Pakistan and the separatist movement in Kashmir are in complete disarray. Sadly, the enemies within are very influential. One can find them in our political class and bureaucracy, including retired bureaucrats who masquerade as peace-mongers and who are being engaged by the establishment as "track-II" actors. One can also find the enemies within among those masquerading as "human rights" activists, "trouble-shooters", "Kashmir experts" and "peace-mongers".
Such "trouble-shooters" were very active during the regime of BJP veteran and the so-called ultra nationalist Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Take, for example, the former RAW chief AS Dulat and former National Security Advisor to Prime Minister Vajpayee, Brijesh Mishra. Dulat had played a very crucial role in giving a concrete shape to dialogue process between New Delhi and Srinagar as part of track-II effort. They and others like Congress MP in the Rajya Sabha Mani Shankar Aiyer are active even today putting forth suggestions which, if accepted, would only promote the cause of Pakistan and its agents operating in Kashmir, including Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik.
Remember, it was none other than Prime Minister Vajpayee who had seen in the person of Dulat a ray of hope and appointed him as his advisor on Kashmir knowing it fully well that the former RAW chief was a known protagonist of Kashmir's autonomy, bordering on virtual sovereignty. The story of Brijesh Mishra was no different. He had acknowledged that the BJP-led NDA Government had been working out a solution that could satisfy the urges of those in Kashmir struggling for greater autonomy/pre-1953 position. He had acknowledged this in the presence of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Omar Abdullah and a former Pakistani diplomat during a debate on Kashmir (We The People) organized by Burkha Dutt of NDTV 24X7.
That the real danger to India is from the Indian State itself and from the likes of Dulat could be seen from what the former RAW chief said yesterday while talking to the correspondent of a English language daily. He, like Mani Shankar Aiyer, not only insisted on the need for "uninterrupted and uninterruptible" dialogue between India and Pakistan but also on a similar dialogue between "Delhi and Srinagar". "I hope that the dialogue between New Delhi and Srinagar starts at the earliest with active cooperation of Hurriyat. There has to be a permanent dialogue between India and Pakistan and Delhi and Srinagar for finding durable solution of Kashmir issue," Dulat told the interviewer. "Hurriyat should not drag its feet on the dialogue. It should not bother them what Pakistan and its High Commission (in New Delhi) says," he also said. Besides, Dulat supported the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's demand seeking revocation of the AFSPA and suggested demilitarization of the State in stages. "As far as demilitarization is concerned, it should be a gradual process," he said.
There was nothing whatever in his interview which could even remotely suggest that Dulat has anything whatsoever against Pakistan and Kashmiri separatists in his scheme of things. On the contrary, there was everything in his interview would clearly suggest that he, like Mirwaiz and others of his ilk, considers Kashmir a trilateral issue and vouches for a solution that is also acceptable to Pakistan and Srinagar (read Kashmiri separatists and protagonists of independence, Pakistan, autonomy and self-rule). There was no reference to the geo-political interests of India in his interview. Similarly, there was no reference to the pain, agony, sufferings, needs, urges and aspirations of the people of Jammu and Ladakh and the victims of secessionist and sectarian violence such as the internally displaced Kashmiri Hindus in his interview.
It is very difficult to handle and defeat the enemies within because the custodians of the Indian State are at their back and call. The major problem is that we have many Vajpayees in the political establishment who are prepared to harm their own country in order to pander to its enemies like Pakistan and Kashmiri secessionists. It is hoped that good sense would finally prevail and custodians of the Indian State do whatever is required to obtain a rightful place in the comity of nations as a great world power. |
