Totally Fair.

The government decision of allotting 800 kanals of forest land to SASB has totally
backfired. There seemed a nefarious motive in allotting land to this board. As yatra was
going on from more than 100 years and till it was under the control of kp’s and people of
Kashmir it was running smoothly. This board, which is totally alien, it consists only two
kp’s and governor who is from outside is its head and his secretary who hails from
outside runs affairs of board. The local mahants were performing religious obligations
from centuries during yatra, when they opposed the construction of road and extension of
yatra period because the shivlingam remains not for more than one month and creating
artificial shivlingam and increasing its period by refrigeration is tantamount to play with
spiritual and religious sentiments of Hindus as it goes against their scriptures, they were
elbowed out which smells something fishy and shows their malafide intentions. Therefore
people of Kashmir were totally right in demanding revocation of this land transfer.
Besides this Kashmiris want kp’s to take control of yatra. Kashmiris don’t need lessons
from anyone on communal harmony as they have maintained it in most trying and tough
conditions.
The Jammu agitation which is headed by saffron brigade and tacitly supported by
congress, establishment and other pseudo secularists and pseudo intellectuals have
exposed themselves. In this regard criticism of Balraj Puri by Firdous Syed (G.K.
columnist) is totally fair and justified. When the communal bigots and chauvinists in
Jammu were lynching, brutalising and battering Muslims, destroying their properties,
attacking their religious places, serving them ultimatum of quitting Jammu or be ready to
face dire consequences and strangling life-line of Kashmir it is strange that Mr.Puri
instead of playing his role in helping to safeguard life and property of muslims and
ending blockade was giving sermons to muslims of poonch and rajouri, who were facing
wrath, mayhem and carnage at the hands of agitators, to help the conducting of yatra of
Booda Amarnath and maintaining communal harmony. It would have been better had he
served these sermons to the barbaric and ruffianistic agitating hooligans.
Mr.Puri tries to justify himself and cover the misdeeds of saffron brigade by saying
that it was after his efforts that state unit of BJP condemned any attack on Muslims. But
has this condemnation made any difference in their attitude? Economic blockade is still
going on, as truck drivers fear for their life to ply trucks on highway as they were and are
being attacked by mobs with petrol bombs. Many drivers were burned and they aren’t
believing that they are alive. Astonishingly Mr.Puri behaves as spokesperson of govt and
army declaring on their behalf that blockade ha failed. By snapping Kashmir’s traditional
and historic links our state has been deliberately made dependent on outside. Otherwise
we have tremendous economic potential. Electricity generated in our state is supplied to
outside and we are left with meagre royalties. How can industries flourish here without
electricity? On every front Kashmir is facing discrimination. We must appreciate Reshmi
Segal when she says that if Indians want to boycott Kashmiri products they must boycott
electricity generated from Kashmir as well. Mr.Puri blockade is not act of few it is well
planned conspiracy hatched by higher echelons of power and different intelligence
agencies and implemented by those spearheading agitation in Jammu. Sangarsh samiti
had publicly declared its plan of blockade of Kashmir and is well evident from RSS
mouth piece in which it is mentioned that “As Hindus refused to take it lying down,
causalities are increasing even as Jammu-Pathankot highway is blocked to make the
protests punitive for Srinagar fruit sellers”.
During Indian struggle of independence massacre of jallen-walla bagh took place,
but here right from 1947 countless massacres have took place in which thousands of
innocent people lost their life. How many Indian leaders were targetly killed by British
troops? In contrast to what India is doing here British troops followed some sort of
decency. Here number of eminent personalities, leaders and activists were assassinated
and brutally tortured to death.
The martyrdom of Sheikh Aziz and other Kashmiris has infused new vigour and
passion among people. The ruthlessness shown by forces and police on protestors in
which 38 people were martyred in just 5 days has amply demonstrated on people of
Kashmir that there lies no future for them with India. Regional pro-India parties who are
collaborators of New Delhi in their every heinous crime have been rejected and subjected
to disgrace even in Jammu. They were kept hostage at airport for hours and on sangarsh
samiti protest were made to sit outside on Aug 9. They were already never accepted by
people of Kashmir. Now only way for them is either to quit and kick away this election
politics and join pro-freedom ranks with full sincerity which will be their salvation from
the sins and crimes they committed on their own nation neither people will never forgive
them. Narrow minded communal frenzy and followers of Indian Modi’ism have provided
enough ammunition to our resistance movement for its survival and success.
