The time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was mouthing words “Na Goli Sey, Na Gali Sey, Kashmir ki samasiya Hal Hogi Galay laganey sey” means “Kashmir situation can addressed by embracing Kashmir but not by bullets and abuses” in his Independence day speech at the ramparts of historical red forte in Delhi, exactly the same time BJP workers and widow of a slain CRPF officer were out on the deserted streets with tricolours in their hands in two different localities in uptown Srinagar just to provoke Kashmiris to come out for disturbing peace and order in the summer capital. What BJP workers and the widow of the slain CRPF officer did just to show their symbolic presence in Srinagar with the intents of disturbing the peace was in total contradiction of the message Prime Minister Modi conveyed to the people of Kashmir from the ramparts of red forte. Even if hundreds hold tricolours under the heavy security cover in Srinagar or any other place in Kashmir, it does not mean entire Kashmir endorses the whims and wishes of the party in power and people in other states of the country. Interestingly Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti before her meetings with the National Conference President Farooq Abdullah, Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had warned central government that if article 35 is tinkered with no one in Kashmir will hold Indian flag. Handful of BJP workers and the widow of slain CRPF officer can’t change the ground reality in Kashmir by holding tricolours in their hands under heavy security cover on a day when total shutdown call by separatist leadership had crippled normal life in valley. The actions of the handful of BJP workers and the widow of slain CRPF officer were not just their acts of provocation but also part of a plan to prove Mehbooba Mufti wrong.
To sent out a message that saboteurs of peace and order and that too on the eve of Independence day, the exemplary punishment to the agitating handful of BJP workers and the widow of the slain CRPF officers is must as otherwise attempts of disturbing peace and order in already hostile law and order situation can occur and re-occur in the trouble parts of Jammu & Kashmir state.
Now it is for the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to investigate that who allowed the handful of BJP men and the widow of the slain CRPF officer to enter Kashmir with the intents of instigating trouble by unwanted provocative actions on the streets in Srinagar city. The people who have dared to instigate trouble on the independence day by their provocative actions in Srinagar can’t be friends of India and the incumbent PDP-BJP coalition government headed by Mehbooba Mufti. To sent out a message that saboteurs of peace and order and that too on the eve of Independence day, the exemplary punishment to the agitating handful of BJP workers and the widow of the slain CRPF officers is must as otherwise attempts of disturbing peace and order in already hostile law and order situation can occur and re-occur in the trouble parts of Jammu & Kashmir state.
