A research-based blog on various issues facing India, which I have gone deep into, owing to my habit to study everything that interests me...Shared here because I feel the responsibility to share...Because I Care.
Watch this space for more updates...The issue is getting very serious.
Checking if any other link is not working in the original post. All the content in "Kashmir Herald" paper seems to have disappeared...See http://www.kashmirherald.com/web2012/index.php No links at the time of writing this. I had saved screenshots. Sharing here.
This site had links on J&K news&views, foreign policy, Profiles of terrorist organisations...Now not accessible.
And this: Dawood Gawali can also be AAP members says Damaniya, Where Anajali Damaniya, regional convenor of AAP says that even underworld don Dawood and likes of
Arun Gawali can become members of Aam Adami Party...all are welcome in her party. "....gangsters will not be made leaders but we shall try to improve them... "
The self-proclaimed Anarchist Arvind Kejriwal, now the Chief minister of Delhi, leads a Dharna, considered a step in the right direction by his supporters. To see the real picture, read The first-hand account of AAP Delhi Dharna from a Police officer. He had also threatened to disrupt Republic Day celebrations.
In the whole great Incredible, Diverse India, what is
so special about Kashmir that made an emperor say the famous lines…If there is
Heaven on earth, it is here…I could not experience firsthand, sadly, because
the heaven had been trampled upon by terrible forces.
My first visit to Kashmir in May2013 surpassed all my
expectations. But it did not come easy. Violent protests
were on. Hotel bookings could not
be finalised because of uncertainty. I am so glad that we did not
cancel the tickets! I promised my children that
we would come back to this very place, in May2015.
I pray that next time, I
won't have to worry about cancelling my tickets. I will return to a peaceful and happier place that is rightly called a heaven.
So when Kashmir started being discussed on
twitter, for comments made by a leader of the new Political party on the
scene, It made me do some research and go
deeper. And a Pandora’s box opened before my eyes! What prompted me to go
deeper was one image on twitter, showing a separatist party’s workers
supporting Aam Aadmi Party campaign.
Putting my research in a logical sequence made everything crystal-clear. I
have taken care that the content presented here is based on Facts. As credible as a real Aam Aadmi’s limited sources of information
allow. That is, news, pdf documents and rarely views. (Even slightly Subjective links, or my comments, if
any, are put in italics, included sparingly to allow a smooth flow of narrative)
The Sequence
of Events that points to the Connection between the rise of AAP , the
Separatist movement in Kashmir and The soft foreign policy of UPA government,
which concedes to the vision of USA for South Asia
( Note: If any link provided in this article is not working, see the Annexure, dated January26, 2014 for screen shots and for more updates)
Map of India as it appears on US
Government website
USA
vision of South Asia favours resolution of conflict and not just “Management of
Conflict”, as approached by India. (Not scope of this article to
go deeper in this)
There is
also such mention in Ford foundation sponsored NGO’s Annual Report – Stiching PANOS South Asia (Search the document with keyword 'Kashmir')
Ford Foundation's approach towards issues in India is explained in much
detail in this blog, including it's connection with the Indian activists.
Was UPA conducive to this vision? According to this article in Kashmir herald,"PMManmohanSingh's dream for South Asia region...Congress seems to have
agreed in ‘principle’ to the out-of-the-box Kashmir solution"
The idea
by Sajad Lone (Son of Shaheed-e-Hurriyat Abdul Gani Lone) is proposed in detail
in this e-book
Idea of Sovereignty for Kashmir:Achievable Nationhood
India and Pakistan very close to solving the
Kashmir dispute and the draft agreement had the backing of Pakistan's
present Army Chief General Kiyani. This was the revelation made
by Pakistan's former foreign Minister Khursheed Mehmood Kasuri on NDTV. It also finds mention in Wikileaks.
See the most important part in this video (3.24 minutes)
Is this
approach questioned by Honourable Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Shri Arun
Jaitley? He writes in his blog, after PM’s press-conference
The
Most Important Sentence in the Prime Minister’s Press Conference
“A media person
asked the Prime Minister a question on his Pakistan
initiatives. The Prime Minister revealed for the first time that secret
envoys from India and Pakistan had almost arrived at a meeting to resolve the
conflict on Kashmir. When a break through appeared ‘in sight’,
General Pervez Musharraf had to make way for other leaders and the
agreement got blocked. A few years ago when President Musharraf was
living in exile in London he had given a similar indication .
What was this possible resolution on Kashmir ? The people of India
are entitled to know an answer to this question."
·Jihad and Dialog - Can't RunParallelThis link makes many startling Revelations
about India's foreign policy – Pakistan - USA connection, which
we may not be able to read in publications with nation-wide presence.
·PM ManMohanSingh’s approach on
foreign policy is also heavily criticised within Kashmir, in very strong words.
PM ManmohanSingh's Faulty Pakistan Policy- This link from Kashmir Herald mentions that Pakistan’s weapons and delivery system are India-specific.
Any political party in India obviously can not support
this view. To quote Shri Arun Jaitley again, “The stated
position of India has been very clear. Jammu & Kashmir is an integral
part of India. In 1994 the Indian Parliament had passed a unanimous
resolution asserting that POK was an integral part of India’s
territory. India firmly believes that no third party intervention
in Kashmir is permissible. Pakistan has an unfinished agenda on Kashmir.
It has not reconciled to Kashmir being integral to India’s sovereignty.
It has used warfare and terrorism to achieve this end. India firmly
believes that the age and era of re-drawing boundaries is over.
India’s negotiating space on territory in the context of Kashmir
resolution is negligible.”
A manipulative Proxy is found
in Arvind Kejriwal, who was closely associated with drafting of RTI Act with National Advisory Committee. He has never denied that his transfer was stopped on the request of Smt. Sonia Gandhi. ( Not going deeper to keep the narrative short, and to not divert from the main point)
·Rahul Kanwal’s article on India Today where he questions whether AAP is another front of Congress.
Arvind
Kejriwal’s ambitious approach but flickering commitment on various
issues, shows that Anti-Corruption issue is just a façade, and only being used
as steps to rise higher by gaining popular support by exploiting sentiments of
people .
See links below:
Kejriwal's lies exposed by Rajat Sharma. Must see how
he struggles to answer questions on the credibility of AAP candidates, involved in alleged crimes. For him, "Internal Inquiries" are Good enough for ensuring credibility.
This blog presents a detailed study on the phenomenon AAP and Arvind Kejriwal as a person, over
a period of many years.
Real face of Arvind Kejriwal : a video presentation
This purely fact-based blog, at the time of writing had chronicled just first 3
days of AAP in Delhi government, and already showed at least 4 issues on which there is evidence of the flippant manners of the party and its leaders.
This presentation sums up the Mis-Governance, insincerity and Anarchist approach of AAP
If AAP is
fearless and is with common man of India, why does this incident occur, where the
family of the child whose ball hit an AAP laeder’s car has to live in fear.
‘India Against
Corrupion’ funds misused for political ambitions.
Read this long but very important analysis by India’s security
expert Col. RSN singh. Team
members Manish Sisodia, Prashant Bhushan, as well as Arvind Kejriwal himself support
separatist views.
Separatists
see ray of hope in AAP as it makes a mark on Delhi politics, as indicated by these
links.
Appeared in Greater Kashmir: No one will argue that Kashmiris
must stop wanting clean Government as it distracts from the separatist movement
Also in Greater Kashmir: Shouldn’t separatist
leaders have an escape route, in the event India and Pakistan reconcile? AAP comes as
breath of fresh air.
Same news in a newspaper with nation-wide circulation- The Indian Express.
But these are the views of Separatists within Kashmir. What is Pakistan's official view?
If Prashant Bhushan's views about Referendum in Kashmir were his personal views, how does according to official media channel of Pakistan, their Government representatives are supporting AAP's demands?
Radio Pakistan: Pakistan has urged India to listen to Aam Aadmi Party's demand about plebiscite
in Kashmir
When
asked about Arvind Kejriwal’s views on Pakistan, he evades the query and insists coming back to
the point of Delhi elections. When the TV anchor insists on his questions about
topics of National Importance, he leaves the studio. Watch the video
Connection with the Ford Foundation and why it is a cause of Concern
Manish
Sisodia and Arvind Kejriwal’s NGO Kabir received funds from Ford Foundation. Why the
need to hide if motives were good?
Ford
foundation's views on Kashmir, as indicated by the study on Kashmir issue, which was funded
by Ford Foundation, and the Organisation
that it sponsors are obvious. Ford foundation's project PANOS South Asia's
involvement in Kashmir is mostly India-Pak 'Conflict Resolution' as you can find by opening it's annual report linked above, and run a search with the word "Kashmir".
Kejriwal's Close Aide Manish (Sisodia?) arranged a meeting of Rashid of Awami
Ittihad with Arvind Kejriwal before entering electoral politics in Delhi.
President of Awami Ittehad party and MLA
Langate, Abdul Rashid, a supporter of Afzal Guru, said at
the time of inception of his party, that they will try best to give Kashmiris
what ‘Hind Nawaz’ (PDP, NC, Cong, others) and ‘Hurriyat Nawaz’ (separatists)
have failed at. “Our party will bring revolution and change the political map
of Kashmir…We will also fight against human rights violations and demand
revocation of Public Safety Act and Armed Forces Special Powers Act…”
In this Kashmir Reporter news, Abdul Rashid claimed that Arvind Kejriwal got inspiration from him. He also said, “The change which started in Kashmir
has reached New Delhi. I hope it will influence the attitude of politicians
there and be beneficial for Kashmir. When I met Kejriwal, we discussed various
issues and I told him to raise the voice for Kashmir.”
Now, we appreciate if someone argues that Abdul Rashid may not
be a significant entity in Kashmir. But, the intention and ideology of AAP stands
exposed by these news. And come to think of it, who would have predicted a year
back that Arvind Kejriwal can be a Chief Minister?
After
much drama, Arvind Kejriwal became Delhi CM, with support from the Congress. Since then
they have been flipping over on various issues.
Anti-corruption pages from AAP website deleted, thus raising doubts on their main agenda of fighting corruption .
Arvind
Kejriwal’s controversial Gaziabad speech about national issues, the text of which I couldn’t find, and
petition against which is dismissed and later withdrawn, but which was questioned by
Dr Harshvardhan recently, points to their true ideology.
Awaami
Ittihad Party Leader Abdul Rashid said he could consider Pre-poll alliance if
AAP views on Kashmir matches their views, of seeing Kashmir as disputed
territory. They were to meet soon in Delhi, as per news in Kashmir newspapers,
published on January 1, 2014. Were Prashant Bhushan comments in sync with the conditions
put up by Awaami Ittehad for a handshake?
This is based on the following news
links.
In Greater Kashmir: AIP will ally with any party that accepts Kashmir as disputed
In Kashmir Life: AIP mulling to join AAP. Rashid to meet Kejriwal in New Delhi
There is
no reply on my queries on twitter about Awaami Ittihad from Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia,
Kumar Vishwas, Mayank Gandhi or even Meera Sanyal ( Sorry to say). Not even
a simple ‘No Comments’ reply or even re-assuring “Don’t worry, it is not AAP stand” denial. Also, the image that I mentioned at the beginning, the one with AAP Campaign, with Abdul
Rashid’s name on AAP banner, as my prompt for deeper search, has since been
seemingly deleted from twitter as well as from the internet. Are they hiding something? What happened off-the-records?
Despite Arvind Kejrival and associates' non-committal approach on issues of National Importance, AAP clearly has ambitions for making a mark in National Politics. Initial
refusal by Arvind Kejriwal to contest Lok Sabha election may turn out to be a
drama, as usual. In fact, in just 2-3 days, we see news like these:
Times of India news: Arvind Kejriwal asked to rethink refusal to fight Lok Sabha
polls
Economic Times news: AAP
keen to project Arvind Kejriwal as PM candidate.
Possible Conclusion:
All this,
appears to be an agenda to put hurdles in path of Narendra Modi led BJP (Link to Mani Shankar Aiyar's statement).
It can help UPA3 composed of Congress
with AAP and other allies, present and new, to clear Kashmir issue in compliance with USA’s views on South
Asia, for short term gains. It will also help to cover-up many Congress scams forever if they are able to maintain power.
I share this here, as I strongly feel the
responsibility to do so, as an aware citizen of India. I will hit the ‘Publish’
button on this blog in a few minutes now, with a prayer that
the dangerous design, that is apparent from the above information, does not
play out in reality.
