Challenges of alienation, civilian killings in Kashmir

Yet again the issue of civilian killings is catching the attention of human rights activists and the peace lover but yet again the central government commanded and controlled by Narendra Modi led BJP turns a blind eye towards the people of Kashmir who day in and day mourn the deaths of young boys. Whatever the reasons turning a blind eye to unprecedented increase in the frequency of civilian killings could trigger yet another bloody summer in Kashmir valley. Yet again the shocking responses of the Modi government to recent civilian killings are deepening the crisis of alienation. As the increasing alienation is throwing up huge challenges to the mainstream political parties, Modi government tending to undo the actions of chief minister is ultimately conveying its unwillingness to end the non stop tale of pain and agony in Kashmir. Though the mainstream political parties unanimously subscribed the larger public perception that that trouble in Kashmir is the part of an “unfinished agenda” of a “final political settlement” of Jammu & Kashmir state, but they failed to persuade the Modi government to take measures for serious political engagement with separatists in Kashmir and resumption of bilateral talks with Pakistan. The mainstream political parties actually stand between their commitment to “final political settlement” of Jammu & Kashmir through a process of dialogue and reconciliation and pledge to fight those challenging state’s accession with the Union Of India.
Interestingly this contradicting political ideology has forced the ruling People’s Democratic Party to give up the lofty ideals of self rule and demilitarization . Forget about the political concessions that PDP had to seek from the BJP for giving a push to its own political agenda the party could not question the moral rights of BJP to deny Chief Minister of a state the right to file even a simple FIR against government forces facing allegations of disproportionate use of force in dealing with violent crowds.
Tragedy with the people of Kashmir is that pro-India parties’ who claim to be the champions of representative politics never bother to ask questions even on the issues concerning the life and property of the people. The situation developing in Kashmir has rendered the actors of poll politics irrelevant and can be normalized only through a process of result oriented dialogue between the actors of resistance struggle seeking final settlement of Jammu & Kashmir and the governments in New Delhi and Islamabad.
