Gupkar@gmail.com Failed to Save the Ship of NC from sinking. How come Fairview@gmail.com Rescue PDP
The people of valley have taught NC a lesson of its wrongdoings and in near future PDP has to be at receiving end and learn passively from the proceedings.
The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference in coalition with Indian National Congress ruled the state of Jammu and Kashmir between 2008 and 2014 under the chief ministership of Omar Abdullah. The party was having had 27 seat strength in the State Legislative Assembly which was slashed to 13 when the people of the valley showed their resentment against the party in 2014 elections. House confinement of Hurriyat leaders, mishandling of Shopian double rape and murder case, killing of over a hundred unarmed civilians protestors by the security forces, legal and moral loopholes in the execution of Afzal Guru, imposing ban on mobile SMS in the state during their rule etc. were the main causes of the downfall of NC. After losing all three parliamentary seats of the valley in the 2014 Parliamentary elections, NC realised its guilt and immediately launched gupkar@gmail.com, an E-mail service to hear public grievances and suggestions in order to avoid such whitewash in the upcoming Assembly elections which were due in November sae year. Few workable initiatives were undertaken and a lot of lip service was done to retain the past glory of the party, but this dream was washed away by the September floods and their hopes were lost in November when the results of 2014 Assembly elections were pronounced. The people of valley rejected the NC and gave decisive mandate to PDP to represent them and give healing touch to their wounds. PDP seat strength in the state Legislative Assembly got increased to 28 in 2014 from 20 in 2008. People of the valley voted for PDP as a resentment against NC’s policies, to counter the entry of BJP into the Muslim majority and politically volatile state, and their promises like giving general amnesty to all detained stone pelters, lifting curbs and talking with Hurriyat leaders, protection & restoration of special status of the state, revocation of AFSPA, encouraging Indo-Pak dialogue and to generate employment avenues in the state.
PDP which was opposing the entry of BJP on to the ruling berths of the state Assembly during election campaigning finally entered into the coalition with the same party when the people of Jammu division gave absolute majority to the latter. Till now none of promises of ruling PDP got materialised. The same old arrest spree, detention of Hurriyat leaders, protests, civilian killings, communal tension, ban on internet, mobile phone service, social media & press, imposition of curfews & restrictions continues to happen in the valley.
Till now the ruling PDP has completely failed to give a healing touch to the wounds of the people of the valley. All the activities which became the cause for the downfall of political parties and governments in Jammu and Kashmir are being practised by PDP. The unarmed protestors are being killed, communication channels are being blocked, Hurriyat leaders are continuously kept behind the bars, the special status of the state and its demography is being altered.
Every ruling party has to think twice before taking any step in the trouble hit Jammu and Kashmir. The political parties based in politically volatile state of Jammu and Kashmir have to think umpteen times before putting their foot forward. People here are armed with a number of gadgets and tactics to teach any political party a lesson without giving them any chance to hold the ground. Mass movements and agitations can erupt anytime in Kashmir and can trample down even the strongest forces of time.
