India's double standard

  It has always been the game plan of New Delhi to walk with rabbits and hunt with hounds as for as the so called dialogue process with the people of Kashmir is concerned. The appointment of three interlocutors and their recommendations have not so for given a thought by the state police and the centre. If they think that nocturnal raids, arrests and booking the youth under the draconian laws will help us to bring back peace and prosperity in the valley, then they are living in the Alice’s wonderland. It is a people’s moment against the injustice and promise made by the first Indian prime minster with the people of Kashmir. Although from the last six decades there were many ups and downs as for as the Azadi discourse is concerned but the people have not given up the just cause.  However New Delhi tried his best with the help of his installed democratic setup in the Srinagar to quell the freedom voice but couldn’t. Time and again New Delhi is using highhanded tactics in dealing with those boys, they think are the threat to the law and order will yield nothing at last but will push them to the violence. If this is the agenda which New Delhi is embarking then the clouds of peace will never hover over the sky of Kashmir. The chief minster on the other hand is trying his best  to make sure that the things don’t go out of hand   this time and his condolence visit  to the Handwara, where a 12^th class student fell to the bullets of so called security forces should bee seen in that context. The fervent appeals of the interlocutors to the centre that all alleged stone palters as well as political prisoners  should be released as a confidence building measure and equally endorsed by the Indian home minster have been responded with the continuous intensive crackdowns on the  Hurriyat (G) and the stone palters. This obstinate and obnoxious stance of New Delhi regarding the aspiration of the people and the excessive use of force against non violent protesters can prove counterproductive for them. It will also marginalize the moderate group of Hurriyat, who had many rounds of talks with the centre both publically and privately but the result was an ostrich zero.  Their continuous engagements with New Delhi made them irrelevant in the recent public uprising, when the people followed the resistance calendar of Hurriyat (G) in letter and spirit because the points they put forth before the New Delhi as a pre condition were genuine and valid points. But as usual they were not sincere and ready to accept those demands and responded with mopping up the whole amalgam from the political scene. Although some leaders from the Hurriyat (M) were released on   this condition that they will not create law and order problem. There controversial seminars made the job easy for the state police, when their so called separatist leader rekindled the lamp of confusion by digging the past graves. If the amalgams top leaders have been given freedom to roam from Pattan to Washington, then why a 16 year old boy is chased and terrified because he protested against the killing of three boys, who were killed in a cold blood. How long this double standard will continue!

NILE REVOLUTION

Egypt is on the boil after a successful public revolution uprooted the ossified dictator in Tunisia. Another revolution became inevitable, when the Egyptian Army announced that they will not use force against the peaceful protesters, who assembled at the Tharir Squire demanding the resignation of president rang the death knell for Mubarak’s regime. In other words Egyptian Army respected and acknowledging the legitimate right of the people so for didn’t become the hurdle in overthrowing Hosni Mubarak. Many political thinkers are of the view that these peaceful public upsurges are the wakeup call for the rest of autocratic regimes in the Arab world. If they don’t take immediate steps like giving people the basic democratic rights, justice and prosperity then the popular public wind will swallow them all. Nobody is going to save them even their all weather friends can’t do anything. Once the close friend of America and European Union are bowing before the public pressure. Mubarak, an extension of autocratic regimes like Anwar Sadat Gamal Abdel Nasser, was once America’s convenient tool and now the dangerous embarrassment for them. Hosni Mubarak’s hostile attitude towards the oppressed Palestinians and toeing the line of Israel made him one of the most notorious dictators in the Arab world. The peace treaty with the Israel cemented his status as a leading U.S friend in the region. His involvement in the political assassinations of his opponents including the leaders of Muslim brotherhood party further widens the gap between the subjects and ruler. The people of both the countries lead a life of political suffocations under these regimes. The rise in the inflation, unemployment and poverty in the Egypt as well in Tunisia added fuel to the burning.  The immediate transition of power in the Arab world is the need of hour otherwise chaos and confusion will engulf the whole region which will further alienate and divide the Muslim world. History is a best teacher that is what people say and believe it teaches us that neither can you quell the sentiments nor aspirations through the constitutional powers or by the might of military power at last you to accept the hard reality. The use of police thugs and other criminals to attack the peaceful protestors will not yield anything for Hosni Mubarak but will spread anarchy in the Egypt. Only his step-down from his post can heal all the wounds which most of the Egyptians has gone through under his repressive regime.
