Unexplained agenda of civil society groups

Though some civil society groups working for the public welfare in Kashmir valley have been playing a central role in generating a broader public opinion on issues concerning the political, constitutional, and administrative rights of the people of the state but unfortunately some civil groups are consistently endorsing political ideology of one or other political party to further the prospects of divisiveness for the purposes of political appeasement in the state. No questions are to be asked to any political party when it propagates its own political ideology but questions are to be asked when a civil society group propagates the political ideology of one or the other political party without offering explanations to do so. Fact also remains that civil society groups can’t be allowed to work on any hidden agenda in a free society in any part of the world and same holds good for the civil society groups presently active in Jammu & Kashmir state. During last five years surprisingly some civil society groups have been showing tendency to endorse the ideology of the political party of their own choice even against the basic spirit of public sentiment but their statements appearing in print and electronic media and actions on the ground despite showing their tendencies of appeasing people at the helm are not questioned from any political or non political quarter.
Civil society groups running coaching centers for students aspiring to join noble professions and lucrative public services are not to be questioned but questions are be asked to civil society groups who tend to keep away from the process of nurturing the talent of youth and choose silence over protest against denial of justice to the people put at the receiving end by public functionaries demonstrating unbridled authority in violation of the institutional and administrative procedures. A civil society group has to be politically neutral with no plans of working on the political roadmap of one or the other political party but civil society groups showing tendencies for political interventions in one way or other have to be questioned for one or the other reason particularly in as hostile political atmosphere as is prevalent in Jammu and Kashmir state. The civil society groups can’t hide their agenda as keeping an eye on working of the government vis-a-vis corruption and accountability, violations of rights, and inequalities is the responsibility of every civil society groups in a free society in any part of the world and same holds good for Jammu & Kashmir state.
