Though critics of BJP and Prime Minister Modi visit Kashmir to seek audiences with the top separatist leaders and civil society groups whenever unrest like situation erupts in Kashmir but today when unwanted panchayat and municipal elections are being enforced on an unwilling electorate in Kashmir the very critics of Prime Minister Modi and BJP choose to remain silent on the conduct of a massive election exercise in a fearful atmosphere. Even after the announcement of the boycott of municipal and panchayat elections by the two largest regional mainstream political parties National Conference and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) the likes of Yashwant Sinha, Mani Shankar Aiyar and Prem Shankar Jha don’t bother to respond on the attempts of both the state and central government to enforce an unwanted election on the people of Jammu & Kashmir against their whims and wishes. Interestingly the critics of Modi and BJP particularly Yashwant Sinha and Mani Shanker Aiyar used to cry much over the handling of Kashmir affairs by Modi government at the centre but so for they have not uttered even a single word over the concerns raised by the Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL), several Srinagar based civil society groups and the likes of Farooq Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti over the confused stand of the central government on the petitions filed against article 35-A in the supreme court.
Morality demands that dissenting voices in Delhi if interested in building a human and political bonding with the bleeding hearts of Kashmir raise their voices over the concerns of people of Jammu & Kashmir and more so in trying times.
The time when these dissenting voices in Delhi were expected to raise their voice against the central government over its confused stand on petitions filed against article 35 A in the supreme court of the country and the enforcement of unwanted panchayat and municipal elections over the unwilling electorate in the state. Morality demands that dissenting voices in Delhi if interested in building a human and political bonding with the bleeding hearts of Kashmir raise their voices over the concerns of people of Jammu & Kashmir and more so in trying times.
