JAMMU, Dec 6: Panun Kashmir (PK) organized a seminar here today on the topic BJP and its policies on Jammu and Kashmir. The main speakers on the occasion were eminent political scientist and chairman of the Advisory Board of PK.
Speaking on the occasion B S Salathia, senior advocate and chairman Jammu Lawyers Forum while endorsing the concerns of other speakers said since the coming of PDP-BJP alliance the communal and fundamentalist forces have further become stronger. “Kashmir is under the grip of radicalization and the poison is fast spreading into the entire State.
Dr M K Teng, chairman Advisory Baord PK described the political behaviour of BJP as a story of the continuous betrayal of the Indian political class. He said Indian political class has although the freedom movement up to the present times shown an aversion to defend the civilizational and historical continuity of the nation of India. It has always chosen not to fight in the face of massive assaults by Muslim communal movements. “BJP’s abdication of the national struggle is the continuation of the attitude of abdication and compromise which the Congress leaders demonstrated after the demise of Bal Gangadhar Tilak’’, he added.
Dr Agnishekhar, convener PK drew the attention of the participants to the new dangerous resonance of the entire spectrum of separatist leadership in the State since the formation of PD-BJP Government. “Look at the statements of the entire leadership of the separatists. Look at the statements of leaders of NC and PDP leaders. You will see a resonance amongst them. All of them seek India to retract from its present position. All of them aim to wreck the sovereignty of India on Jammu and Kashmir, he added.
Dr Ajay Chrungoo in his presentation warned of a bigger betrayal. He said that making of the PDP-BJP alliance is in itself a betrayal which has made further betrayals possible. “if one reads Agenda of Alliance keenly one will discover that it has virtually given plenipotentiary powers to the State Government to negotiate settlement with Pakistan and the separatists. BJP leaders have publicly recognized sub nationalism as a legitimate political expression. They after coming to power described anti-India, pro-Pak, Pro-ISIS and Al-Qaeda expressions as publicity gimmicks. At a time when whole world is becoming awake to spread of radical Islam BJP has chosen to underplay it in the State. Its policy on Hindus of Kashmir seeks their absorption into the Kashmiri milieu, he added.
