WITH a discernible effrontery, Political observers — in
India — have phrased the newest discourse by LK Advani vis-à-vis
normalization of Indo-Pakistan ties — nothing beyond an election
ploy.
They monitor it — as ‘a good omen’ by a hard-liner like
Advani — talking of peace n’ amity somewhat — an atypical
sugar-coated rhetoric with a vow that the ‘flare-up
[perception]’ of the Deputy PM — who is pragmatically No. 1 in
the Indian hierarchy n’ the chilling-cum-potential political
beneficiary of AB Vajpayee — could not materialize the cherished
aspiration for serenity in the region without practical steps
and a positive response to Pakistan's peace overtures
Such circles are — simultaneously — apprehensive that such ‘sweet,
cute n’ cunning’ statements could be a gambit to hoodwink the
voters to use their franchise in favor of the BJP in the next
general elections of India.
Not to talk of the hideous track-record of the idol of the
radicals in India, the fresh manoeuvres of the New Delhi
rulers — with LK Advani on the top of the catalogue — feelings of
trepidation do exist — not only in every peace-loving realm
around the globe — but equally on the soil of India that the
extremist cluster, composed of BJP may take an abrupt shift on
their adore for tranquillity in South Asia, the moment — their
specific aspires for ‘triumph in polls’ — is clutched.
This veracity is manifested by LK’s up to date interaction
with Abbas Ansari-led faction of the APHC wherein he [Advani]
did make high-pitched swears on the abolition of the reign of
terror, unleashed by the Indian troops in the forcibly
held-part of the fascinating Himalayan State, yet to-date with
no practical upshot at all.
An in-depth analytical viewpoint — to this effect — has explicitly
been aired with vexation by an apex Kashmiri leader, Mirwaiz
Omer Farooq — during his meeting with media men in New Delhi
wherein he avers that [if its’ sincere towards the success of
Indo-Pak thaw] India must announce a spontaneous ceasefire in
the IHK — on the sacrosanct day of Eid-ul-Azha.
Yet nothing seems impending as India continues to remain
tight-lipped with a traditional n’ absolute mum towards this
facet. Yet it [New Delhi] did take an odious gain of the
meeting with the Mirwaiz n’ Ansari — via prima facie a ‘smooth
sailing’ of Advani’s antagonistic trip to IHK’s vicinities
along the LoC.
Keeping ‘sentient’ it awful tactic, New Delhi disseminated to
the world — via its’ state-run news agency, PTI — that while in
IHK [the first-ever visit to the occupied terrain] Advani
‘shall make a major announcement about the current malevolent
n’ nasty scenario, erupted by almost a million armed Indian
troops on the innocent Kashmiris.
Yet eventually, as was being expected by realists — it
proved — nothing except a Machiavellian fantasy or a chimera.
Amid such a milieu, not only that India once again stand
exposed — worldwide — its’ iniquitous manoeuvre is ought to serve
as an eye-opener for the Kashmiri leaders — exclusively those
having allures for a direct dialogue with the
extremists — ruling the Indian empire.
If with a fanatical mindset of anthology based on lust n’ love
far weapons of mass destruction — from anywhere in the world — the
New Delhi masters are least uptight on the horrific plight of
their own people — leading lives far below the poverty-line — how
can the bona fide title-holders of the charismatic state
expect some-thing good from them — who are overtly — bent upon
keeping the people in IHK in cage, with the full armed might
at their disposal.
As is being envisioned by the intellectual sets in India, the
impish n’ naughty face of the Indian rulers — shall turn
portrayal soon after the hasty elections — this verity must also
serve as an eye-opener for all those in the IHK, who are
trying to get out of sleeves — despite being well-aware of the
Indian mind-set towards the Kashmiris’ cause whereby a
million-plus innocents have either lost their lives, become
widows, orphans or gone crippled but also lost their
homes — only for raising a legitimate voice in errand of their
birth right — which is germane to every human-being on this orb.
No-doubt every sane would go or opt for peace — yet it is ought
to be with dignity and honour. Any opposite course — if n’ when
adopted — would land the fleers of this reality, especially the
Kashmiri leadership — in nothing except in a silhouette of
critical discomfiture n’ mortification for all times to come.
Its’ thus an apposite time to interpret the real frame of mind
of the BJP-led Indian set-up which is equipped with trickery
towards the Muslims — wherever they dwell — and most
idiosyncratically about the valiant people of the Jammu n’
Kashmir State, who are the key striking n’ fantastic stars of
the Atlas horizon — in getting India exposed as a callous
environ on the earth planet.
Kashmiris’ valour has — no doubt — been par excellence — never
indexed in the history of any struggle for freedom from an
atrocious yoke. This actuality is well-versed in every piece,
inked about their gallantry. An extract from a book, authored
by an audacious alien historian on the tragic episode of 13
July 1931 — when the wicked Dogra ruler opened fire on
defenceless people outside Srinagar Jail — divulges and I
quote — ‘I did not see a single [Kashmiri] martyr who received a
bullet on the back, as each-one gripped it on the
chest------this depicts the magnitude of heroic spirit of the
people of this classic and epic nation.’
Every-one must try in a compact style for the establishment of
peace in South Asia — of-course keeping the changed ground
realities in mind and even by applying a flexible approach — to
get this longed issue solved amiably — side by side gracious n’
genial relations with friends in India with equilibrium as
podium — yet certainly not at the cost of the precious sons n’
daughters of the soil — who did not vacillate even in shedding
their loved blood — not to mollify any-one but to keep their
generations’ lofty image — high-flying.
One hopes with certitude that this magnificent perception
about the people of the elegant State shall be kept intact — by
the legatees of this nation — which shall, of-course be a great
n’ grant infinite accolade n’ homage to all those — who took off
for eternity, with an eternal abode in Heavens.
