| Why should Jammu boycott Dilip, Radha? | | BJP, JKNPP On The Same Page | | Rustam
Jammu, Sept 1: On Thursday, the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) announced boycott of the New Delhi-appointed former interlocutors - Dilip Padgaonkar and Radha Kumar - who have planned to hold a meeting in Jammu also to get feedback from political parties and others on their report. Announcing the boycott, it said it would be a crime against man and God if it met with the former interlocutors, who now call themselves resource persons. (They are not self-appointed resource persons; they are on a mission which has the backing of the Union Government. There should be no doubt it.) The upshot of the whole argument of the JKNPP was that the interlocutors' report was not just Valley-centric and patently anti-Jammu, but also divisive, unsettling and anti-India. One cannot but agree with it. Indeed, the interlocutors' report on Jammu and Kashmir is divisive, anti-Jammu, anti-minorities and anti-India.
Yesterday, the State unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), like the JKNPP, also announced boycott of the so-called resource persons, who are masquerading as trouble-shooters on behalf of the Congress-led UPA Government. The BJP said what the JKNPP said on Thursday. There was hardly any difference between what these two parties, which have their support-base confined to Jammu Pradesh, said while announcing boycott of Dilip and Radha. It also passed a resolution in its executive body meeting held at Udhampur to the effect that the BJP will not meet with the former interlocutors. Besides, it said that the BJP's national executive body had already rejected the interlocutors' report as utterly "unacceptable". It was on May 24 this year that the Mumbai session of the BJP had rejected the report, saying it contained everything that had the potential of undoing all that the BJP and its earlier incarnation Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS) did in the State to get it closer to New Delhi.
On Thursday, another development took place. Former State BJP president and presently leader of the 7-MLA group, Chaman Lal Gupta, also lambasted the former interlocutors. Gupta and six other MLAs were expelled from the party months. The charge against them was that they flouted the party whip and voted for the Congress and NC candidates seeking election to the legislative council. Notwithstanding the fact that they were thrown out of the party, they continue to hold the views that official BJP holds. The point is that Gupta and Co took a stand which was similar to the one taken by the official BJP and the JKNPP. Of course, Gupta did not say that he and his group would also boycott the visiting former interlocutors, but what he said actually meant that. There is also the possibility of the Jammu State Morcha (JSM) MLA. He has always worked in unison with the JKNPP, the official BJP and the expelled BJP legislators.
Why should Jammu boycott Dilip and Radha? Jammu should boycott them because they do not represent the Indian ethos; they represent those who are out to wreck India by pandering to the secessionists and communalists. |
