| Congress in complete accord with NC | | Humiliating Jammu & Ladakh | | NEHA
JAMMU, June 18: A day after the interlocutors report was made public by the Government of India the uncouth NC additional general secretary and uncle of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Mustafa Kamaal condemned the interlocutors. The report was made public on May 24. He had many grouses against the interlocutors and one of them was that the interlocutors had sought to disintegrate the state by urging New Delhi to set up three regional councils for Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. He also denounced the interlocutors for their suggestion that the restoration of the state to the pre-1953 position was fraught with dangerous ramifications and added that the NC will not only oppose this suggestion tooth and nail but accept only that solution which was acceptable to the NC. In other words, he taunted and humiliated the people of Jammu and Ladakh. Not a single Congress leader reacted to what Kamaal said. Even Health Minister Sham Lal Sharma, who had some 18 months ago demanded the state's trifurcation, did not utter a single word in favour of interlocutors' suggestion or against Kamaal's rabid opposition to it, coupled with his outrageous assertion that the NC represented the aspirations of the people of all the three regions - Jammu Pradesh, Kashmir and Ladakh.
On June 11, NC MP Mehboob Beg not only hailed the Musharraf's divisive, unsettling and communal Kashmir formula, but also, like Mustafa Kamaal, condemned the interlocutors. He advanced the same arguments which Kamaal had advanced on May 25. In fact, Beg went several steps further and suggested that the Musharraf's Kashmir formula needed to be used as a "launching pad". He, like, Kamaal, also asserted that the NC represented the aspirations of the people of all the three regions of the state, adding that the NC would see to it that the interlocutors' regional councils' suggestion was not implemented. In other words, he caused a deliberate affront to the self-respect of the people of Jammu and Ladakh. Not a single Congress leader thought it desirable to take on Beg who had not only committed an act of sedition but also humiliated the people of Jammu and Ladakh. Even Minister of Tourism Nawang Rigzin Jora did not utter a word against Beg. Leave alone the chicken-hearted and greedy Jammu-based Congress leaders and ministers. As for the Congress spokesperson, his behaviour was on expected lines. He never speaks. Nor does he care for his party's 2008 election manifesto which solemnly promised regional councils for Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh admitting that Jammu and Ladakh had always been given a raw deal by men at helm. He doesn't mind the NC leadership pouring venom on New Delhi because, according to him and other Congress leaders and ministers, to speak a single word in favour of Jammu and Ladakh and against the NC means violation of the cardinal principles of the so-called coalition dharma. They are so large hearted that they are even prepared for an open snubbing from the NC leaders, especially the Chief Minister, his uncle and even such insignificant persons as Beg. Did not Kamaal take on AICC general secretary and Sonia Gandhi's son Rahul Gandhi and ask him not to interfere in the affairs of the state not so-long-ago? He did. And, did the Congress muster courage to take on Kamaal? No. No because action against Kamaal would have been taken by the NC leadership to mean violation of coalition dharma and this type of crime the Congress leadership will never commit. But this is just one example.
On June 17, Minister of Finance and Ladakh Affairs Abdul Rahim Rather, like Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, challenged New Delhi and questioned the very introduction of certain Indian laws in Jammu and Kashmir saying the state had only acceded to India and not merged with it. He accused New Delhi of eroding the Kashmir's special status and virtually asked it to quit not only Kashmir but Jammu and Ladakh as well. He, like Kamaal and Beg, also asserted that the NC represents the aspirations of the people of all the three regions and that what the NC stands for is what the people of Jammu and Ladakh have been struggling for since decades like the NC. Not a single Congress leader has reacted to what Rather said.
What does all this suggest? It suggests that the Congress leaders, including those belonging to Jammu and Ladakh, are in complete accord with the NC? There should be no doubt about it. It is no wonder then that certain groups have started raising the slogan "Congress hatao, Desh bachao".
