JAMMU, June 29: Delhi-based High Commission for Pakistan is openly interfering in the internal affairs of India. No, it is giving dangerous respectability to secessionists and bigots like Syed Ali Shah Geelani, who doesn't represent even the people of Kashmir. How else would one interpret the invitation extended to Geelani by High Commission for Pakistan for talks with Pakistan Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani ahead of the Foreign Secretary-level meeting to be held in New Delhi on July 4 and 5? Jilani would be in Delhi on July 4 and 5. He and his Indian counterpart Ranjan Mathai will hold discussions on peace and security, Jammu & Kashmir and the so-called confidence-building measures. This meeting between Mathai and Jilani will be followed by a meeting between the Indian Foreign Minister and his Pakistani counterpart in Islamabad after the Monsoon session. Actually, the meeting between the Indian Foreign Minister and his Pakistani counterpart was to take place in July itself, but it had to be deferred for two reasons - political instability in Pakistan and Presidential election in India on July 19.
New Delhi should have snapped all ties with Pakistan after what the latter did in the case of Sarbjit Singh, who has been languishing in Lahore jail for more than two decades now for no fault of his, and in view of the startling revelations made of Jabiuddin, alias Abu Jundal alias Abu Hamza, who was arrested in New Delhi after his deportation from Saudi Arabia. That it didn't so and, instead, decided to materialize the already scheduled meeting between Mathai and Jilani only shows that New Delhi is as insensitive to the Indian sentiment as Pakistan is. The BJP did take on the Indian Foreign Minister and asked him to behave, but with no result. And it was not altogether unexpected.
This is not for the first time that those who have been controlling the Pakistani Foreign Ministry are interfering in the internal affairs of India and holding meetings with Kashmiri separatists in New Delhi before they engage with their Indian counterparts. The fact is it has become customary with the Pakistani Foreign Ministry and authority in the High Commission for Pakistan to vitiate the atmosphere even before holding talks with their Indian counterparts. Take, for example, what Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabani Khar did on the eve of her maiden visit to New Delhi. Her office contacted a few Kashmiri separatists so that they were available in New Delhi for talks before she met with Indian Foreign Minister S M Krishna. Everything was reported by the Pakistani media, as also by a section of the Indian media, but New Delhi did nothing to defeat the Pakistani move. Instead, it allowed a meeting between Khar and Kashmiri separatists, who had brought only death and destruction to the state, thus exposing the New Delhi's weak-kneed foreign policy.
New Delhi cannot act irresponsibly. It cannot allow the Pakistani diplomats to vitiate the political atmosphere in India by flirting with Kashmiri separatists. New Delhi would do well to not allow the proposed meeting between Jilani and Geelani at the High Commission of Pakistan to materialize. Such an action on its part will send a right signal and create an impression worldwide that New Delhi has decided to act in a manner in which any responsible state acts and discharges her obligations towards the people and the country. New Delhi is capital of India and it would be an evil day if it allows the Pakistani diplomats to interfere in the internal affairs of India while in India.
