Jammu & Kashmir: Disinformation is Impeding Peace and Prosperity

The disinformation being spread by Mehbooba Mufti and her ilk is impeding the march towards peace and prosperity. It is time now to put an end to the anti-people and anti-national agenda. Imposing a ban on such organisations is an option that the Government can consider

 

On November 24, based on specific information of the presence of terrorists at Rambagh, Srinagar, a joint party of the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police, conducted a cordon and search operation. Three terrorists were neutralised in the ensuing fierce encounter. One of the three was identified as a top terrorist leader hailing from Pakistan who had been involved in killing many police personnel and civilians and was referred to as the ‘face of Pakistan-sponsored terror’ in Kashmir.

Spokesperson for Terrorists

Mehbooba Mufti, supremo of the soft separatist political organisation and People’s Democratic Party (PDP), went public, denounced the encounter and asserted that those killed were innocents. Her assertions were firmly refuted by Dilbag Singh, DG Police of J&K. “Despite knowing the reality, some people are claiming otherwise …..all of a sudden, militants who are involved in police and civilian killings have become innocents for people like Mehbooba Mufti,’ he said.

The ease with which Mehbooba spreads disinformation through half-truths and blatant lies to disrupt peace in the region is quite amazing. None of her statements can stand the scrutiny of a reality check.

The tragedy of Kashmir is that a major portion of its leadership has sold its soul to the devil for the sake of money and power. These so-called leaders have no compunction in peddling the enemy’s agenda so long as it serves their vested interests. They remain silent when terrorists butcher innocents; it is only when security forces kill a terrorist or an accomplice to terrorism that their heart starts bleeding.

With Mehbooba in the lead, these leaders find issues to spread misinformation and disinformation to put seeds of doubt in the minds of the people about the honest intentions of the Union Government and the people of India. Their modus operandi has been most aptly described by The Times of India as the “hypocrisy of the pro-Pakistani lobbyists.”

A little before the aforementioned attack on the honest intentions and bravery of the security forces, Mehbooba had addressed her favourite anti-national topic of seeking reinstatement of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. “If they (India) want to keep Jammu and Kashmir with them, they have to restore Article 370, hold dialogue with Pakistan and resolve the Kashmir issue,” she said.

Mehbooba wants India to talk to Pakistan, a country that has no standing in the international community. She ignores the fact that Pakistan is a sworn enemy of Kashmir, where it has sent terrorists over decades to kill innocents. This demand only reinforces her anti-national credentials. Mehbooba also needs to understand that the only point about Kashmir that needs to be “resolved” is the return of the territories of the erstwhile princely state of J&K that are under illegal occupation of Pakistan

Mehbooba very easily sidelined that the people have readily accepted the constitutional changes brought about in August 2019, including abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A. Voices against the very correct and constitutionally valid change are emanating only from people like her who were enjoying the unconstitutional facilities provided by the Article to run their governments without the scrutiny of central organisations like the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG). These few families and their feudal leaders were looting the people. Now, with the abrogation of Article 370, the loot has stopped.

Peddling Pak’s Agenda

Mehbooba wants India to talk to Pakistan, a country that has no standing in the international community. She ignores the fact that Pakistan is a sworn enemy of Kashmir, where it has sent terrorists over decades to kill innocents. This demand only reinforces her anti-national credentials. Mehbooba also needs to understand that the only point about Kashmir that needs to be “resolved” is the return of the territories of the erstwhile princely state of J&K that are under illegal occupation of Pakistan.

Mehbooba also attacked the Government for having dismissed from service certain Government employees who were assisting terrorist activities in Kashmir. Some such employees belonged to the family of the Hurriyat hawk, late Syed Ali Shah Geelani. In her thirst for power, she is unconcerned about the need for good, clean, transparent governance in the Union Territory that is possible only if the cancer within the Government is removed.

Since she leaves no opportunity to target the Central Government or the Government of the Union territory, it came as no surprise when she also spoke against the ending of the “Durbar move,” whereby the Government of the State used to function for six months in the summers in Kashmir and for the remaining six winter months in Jammu. She said that by stopping this exercise, the incumbent Government had put the “identity of the State at stake.”

Mehbooba needs to be made aware that the Durbar move was merely an administrative need of the erstwhile princely State of J&K in times when communication means were limited; it had no traditional ethos whose “identity would be at stake.” In today’s world, where data can be shared and decisions made worldwide by the click of a computer mouse, this very expensive and inefficient practice has become redundant since long. By speaking against its cessation, Mehbooba is exhibiting her own lack of leadership and administrative skill, having failed to take this dynamic and necessary decision during her tenure as Chief Minister.

She has been making vague and abrasive statements that the motive of abrogating Article 370 was to loot the people of J&K. The reality is that the Government and security forces of the UT are putting in honest and dedicated hard work to pull the region out of the morass that has been created by the three-decade-long shadow of the gun and misgovernance by local parties led by corrupt feudal families. In their noble pursuit, they have the complete support of the people because of which great success in peace and development is being achieved.

The disinformation being spread by Mehbooba Mufti and her ilk is impeding the march towards peace and prosperity. It is time now to put an end to the anti-people and anti-national agenda. Imposing a ban on such organisations is an option that the Government can consider. It would meet with minimal opposition from the people who are quite fed up with this brand of leadership and are looking for a change. On the positive side, it will help curb terrorism, disruption and subversion.
