Killing
an innocent man is killing humanity
Two
security functionaries from a private security firm attached to J&K Bank
and five personnel of local Kashmiri police post have been murdered by
militants. According to the commands of the Holy Prophet which I fully endorse
it is tantamount to killing humanity. They were returning after depositing cash
and thus performing their duty. They were actually travelling. One of the
murdered policemen was father of six kids. A murdered sub-inspector who was to retire
within two months was a God-fearing man dutifully observing prayers and
fasting. Another murdered policeman was the sole caretaker of his father a
cancer patient.
Fighters
of Islamic war and founders of Caliphate aver that they killed five policemen
but not the bank employees. All of them were butchered in one van. Do the
Hizbul Mujahedeen activists think that Kashmiris are so naive not to understand
their all lies? All I can say is that these gun wielders will meet the same
fate that befell those who had taken up the gun in 1990.
The nation is undergoing great suffering for
last 27 years. A few days prior to these killings a grenade blast in Khanyar
vicinity claimed the life of a citizen. A driver was killed by stone throwing.
All of them were Kashmiris. The day is not far off when civil war will break out
here and human blood will spill in streets and lanes. People are very angry on
these murders. It is a different thing that people do not come out on the
streets in protest of these killings owing either to threat or under the
impression that freedom movement should not be damaged. I must make the
prediction that if J&K police are driven to the wall, in that case even
non-violent movement will become difficult. We know that some black sheep
within the police force are defaming the organization.
I
would like to reiterate that Kashmir issue cannot be solved by resorting to
violence from any party. Tension has escalated on Indo-Pak border and the two
troops are attacking each other’s posts and killing soldiers. It could well
escalate to war between them. An action performed in state of anger can spark
the flames of war. Pakistan cannot capture Kashmir by extending support to
militants or by sending cross border infiltrators to attack military camps or
by attacking a specific target. Indian security forces cannot find a solution
of Kashmir issue by showing vengeance against Kashmiris. In a prospect of
Indo-Pak war, hundreds of thousands of people on either side will be killed,
hundreds of thousands will become disabled and economically both the countries
will get destroyed to the extent that recovery may take decades or centuries.
Therefore to escape the calamity of destruction the two countries should begin
talks without loss of time.
Two
political parties PDP and BJP have the mandate of the people of two regions of
the State. Formation of coalition government is genuine. It could have become
the instrument of bringing the people of the two regions namely Jammu and
valley closer.
Government
of India says that out of the package of 80000 crore rupees it has so far
during the past one year and more released nearly 20,000 crore rupees to the
State. This is not a small sum in one year. Where has this huge sum of twenty
thousand crore rupees gone? Was any mega power generation plant established? 90
per cent roads of the State are all potholes and worn out unworthy of being
called a metalled road. Big water bodies
have become cesspools and burial ground for dead animals. One may have a look at Wular or Dal or
Manasbal lakes and see for oneself their pitiable and lamentable condition.
Tourism has been given in the charge of a notoriously corrupt person and the
entire industry is almost on the verge of collapse. Protesting students are
made targets of police batons, bullets, pallet guns, and tear gas shells. By
involving innocent students among stone throwers the black sheep among the
police have devised a source of extra income for themselves. Many corrupt
officers have been given plum post just because they can manoeuvre it through
personal favours and clout. Millions of rupees are embezzled under one pretext
or the other like development, education reforms, providing facilities to the
people, support to medical treatment all fake and shady. On the ground there is
no trace of any development.
State
exchequer is used not for providing facilities to the people but for
suppressing them and for providing munificence to the party workers and corrupt
officers. The irony is that the ministers elected from Jammu region have
confined their activities to Jammu region alone. The coalition government is
not trying to bring people of different faiths and religions closer and
actually it distances them from one another. Extremism is promoting
unemployment. The government does not give Utilization Certificate of any
centrally sponsored project. Orders of High Court are either not implemented or
implemented only half heartedly. Senior bureaucrats when called by the High
Court for deposing in court cases submit ambiguous and misleading reports.
Thousands of vacancies are left unfilled. Accountability organizations are made
toothless.
An
atmosphere of threat prevails everywhere in the valley and police think that
only bullets and pallet gun can set things right. By allowing baton and PSA and
bullet to be free the state is fast heading towards decline in all walks of
life.
Opposition
plays very negative role. It is said that Congress and NC have inducted all
their means in the phenomenon of stone throwing and fomenting of unrest. These
two parties have always treated the people of the state nothing short of cattle
stock and imposed tyrannical laws on the people. These members of Congress and
National Conference are the people who instead of providing water, electricity
and jobs to the people forced them into black holes of poverty, destitution and
darkness.
In 2010
their coalition was responsible for the killing of 127 youth on the streets of
Srinagar For six long months the state became the place of butchery and loot
and arson at the hands of these party workers. Today they shamelessly call
stone throwers as the soldiers of freedom. They are asking for solving Kashmir
issue. But Kashmiri nation can ask them what role they played when they were in
power. They should not forget what oppression they exerted on the people and
now they are seeking power to revive their policy of suppression and oppression
of the people.
Let me
recount what were the gifts of Congress-NC regime for the people of the State.
These were framing black rules of oppression and tyranny, spreading
unemployment, nepotism and bribery, illegally grabbing state lands and
grasslands and converting these as private estates, destroying educational
institutes, facilitating bribery and corruption, torturing the innocent in
prisons, deploying incompetent persons in different departments instead of
competent persons, destroying the Dal and the Wular lakes, taking resort to
load shedding instead of making use of enormous power generating potential of
the state, discouraging industries and pushing the state to darkness, and
making it a consumer state. Main stream political parties also have a role in
this huge saga of devastation. They lick the feet of Delhi rulers an activity
in which they vie with one another.
We would
sincerely suggest India and Pakistan to settle their differences including
Kashmir issue through dialogue. Oppression has no eyes. People on both sides of
Kashmir should also have the freedom of meeting with one another within the
State. All violent activities happening on the border should be stopped. But if
both the countries have lost common sense then they may go for war. Let both of
them take the step of destroying all the people of the sub continent in one go
instead of killing and massacring young and old on both sides of the dividing
line in intermittent violent actions. Go in for an outright war and emerge vanquished
or victorious whatever the case once for all. Let the people of the
subcontinent live or die once and not time and again.
Instead of
humiliating people in the name of democracy, instead of pouring all the funds
in the pockets of political leaders Governor’s rule should be imposed for the
purpose of development and progress. Why political parties be pampered in the
name of democracy when they do not deserve it. Talks should be resumed with
Pakistan. Interface between the people of the state should be initiated. By
imposing Governor’s rule at least corruption has to be halted and funds have to
be utilized for constructive and developmental works. People of the State have
seen worst type of suppression and loot in the name of so-called democracy.
This was the scenario in the past and it is the scenario now.
