When you do nothing about the evil...

Why Indian government and a section of the media give importance to the voice of Hurriyat leaders, who do not represent any of Indian citizens in any way?


India is liberal, secular, democratic country. It offers wide choices before everybody to gain legitimacy. But Hurriyat Conference never takes the electoral route to gain true representative status. Still, our establishment respects its “sentiments” and some media persons virtually crawl to get Hurriyat leaders to the studios.


The very idea behind the formation of All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) on March 9, 1993Kashmir that are hell-bent on vivisecting India, once again, on religious lines. was secession. It is a bunch of 26 secessionist organizations of In Urdu language, Hurriyat means “freedom”, and APHC was created to further the cause of Kashmir separatism, as designed by Pakistan.


According to the constitution of APHC, its objective is to endeavor to promote Islamic predominance and its majority character in Jammu and Kashmir state, which is against the secular and democratic character of our national constitution.


APHC does not recognize the Indian constitution. It has stayed away from all the elections held in the state. The hardcore faction of APHC, Tehrik-i-Hurriyat, headed by hardcore Islamist Syed Ali Shaw Geelani, openly declares that it wants complete independence from India.


It is evident that Pakistan is behind the Hurriyat. Still we fail to expose the machinations of Pakistan. Still, we sheepishly appease the traitors as if they command the great power on earth, as if they represent the sizable chunk of the population.


Current uprising of Jammu citizens over the denial of pilgrim’s rights on the Amaranth temple lands is an unprecedented revolt of the people against the separatist, highly communal machinations of some Islamist politicians. A great polarization of nationalists against anti-nationals is taking place in the state and all over the country. This is a natural, yet rare, phenomenon, that happens when the concerned governments repeatedly fail to protect the interests of the nation and its patriotic people.


Still, our ruling coalition leaders shifting the blame on the Jammu protestors, who are chanting the hymns about “Mother India”.


They are maintaining a studied silence over the acts of hurriyat separatists, who are openly hailing Pakistan on the roads.


This reminds me of the famous statement of Albert Einstein, that “the world is dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”
