| Hurriyat Conference on verge of collapse | | Conglomerate of Opportunists | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 21: Former APHC chairman Abdul Gani Bhat is under severe attack. Other extremists like Shabir Ahmad Shah, Nayeem Khan and Azam Inqilabi are after his head and have been demanding his expulsion from the conglomerate of disparate secessionist groups. Inqilabi has even left the conglomerate. He has attacked the arrogant, selfish to the core and rank opportunist APHC chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq virtually saying he conducts himself in a dictatorial manner. Not just this. He has also commended Syed Ali Shah Geelani, who left the conglomerate way back in 2002. Yasin Malik also left the conglomerate long back, as he could not carry along with other Hurriyat leaders. He thought it desirable to go alone and watch and promote his own interests. They left the conglomerate not because there were fundamental ideological differences between them and the APHC, but for purely personal reasons so that they could set up their own money minting shops.
Inqilabi has even hailed Geelani for leaving the APHC and floating his own Hurriyat Conference. Mirwaiz and the likes of Shabir Shah and Nayeem Khan are pulling in different directions. Dissensions and ego clashes have gripped the APHC (M), which has also lost its appeal and sheen because Mirwaiz has been using the outfit to protect and advance further his own interests, as also because he doesn't care about other separatists, who are also self-centred and equally ambitious and canny. He is not transparent. His whole approach is also questionable, as he functions in a hush, hush manner. This is the general view of most of the Hurriyat leaders.
The frustrated and desperate extremists like Shah and Khan are organizing their own programmes, thus showing Mirwaiz his rightful place and indicating that all is not well with the APHC (M) and that it has lost its usefulness. Significantly, they are members of the highest-decision making body, called the executive council of the APHC (M). Only recently, they organized two public functions, one at Anantnag and the other at Shopian (South Kashmir). They organized these public meetings just to create an impression that they are no less popular or that they too have their support-base in Kashmir and they just cannot be ignored and marginalized. It is obvious that their main target was Mirwaiz who could not muster courage to expel Abdul Gani Bhat from the conglomerate. It is also obvious that those Hurriyat leaders who were served show cause notices by Mirwaiz following trouble in the executive meeting and outside the Mirwaiz residence have not taken kindly this action on the part of Mirwaiz. Nayeem Khan and Azam Inqilabi were served the show cause notices because they had gone public and attacked Abdul Gani Bhat and others, as they, according to them, had gone beyond the confines of the Hurriyat constitution. Bhat had dismissed UN resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir irrelevant. Mirwaiz & Co described their action as an act of indiscipline. One of them openly challenged the authority of Mirwaiz saying "I had done no wrong by pointing out that Professor Bhat has violated the constitution of the Hurriyat by describing UN resolutions as irrelevant" and "Mirwaiz should have acted against the violator and not against the whistle-blower".
From what has been happening within the conglomerate for quite sometime now, it is clear that the APHC (M) has become defunct for all practical purposes and that it is Mirwaiz and his men who have established their stranglehold over this conglomerate of opportunists. It is also clear that it is Mirwaiz who doesn't listen to others while taking decisions. The fact of the matter is that the conglomerate has ceased to be all-party conference. It is a different story that certain self-styled peace-mongers and conflict managers in New Delhi continue to describe them as the "main stakeholders" and the authorities in the state are providing them foolproof security cover. |
