Sufi poet of Panzath , Qazigund passes awayWe mourn as Sufi poet of Panzath , Qazigund passes away.No politics might afford to lose the masses and it stopped PDP supporting RSS and literally Kashmir could not be handed over to the Nagpur institution of the Hindu Imperialism.Nevertheless,the Pandit hegemony should not mourn as the Jammu based Hindutva prolnged the stand off and poltics lost its destination mid way.Thus,RSS succeeded in its mission of Direct Rule in Kashmir.
Rather we have a cause to mourn as we lost the latest icon in our Sufi Sant Boul tradition who represented multicultural Indian heritage of common kitchen as known as Sajha Chulha.I am sorry to say that very little we know about the poet as other issues were so much so hyped and we hardly know anything in detail as far as Kashmiriyat is concerned.We know very less about the latest sufi trends in the heaven these days.Rather I would wait feedbacks right from the valley.
As we have come to know that South Kashmir's sufi poet & music artist Faqeer Abdul Samad Chopan of Panzath, Qazigund Kashmir passed away yesterday 0n 9 January 2015. He was 97. 2015. He was a spiritual person having a vast circle of devotees. He was illiterate but created thoughtful poetry.His heart burning poetic expressions were not in printed material. It was Mohammad Shafi Mehar's great efforts who managed to edit & publish his poetry under d Title "Dard-e- Nai".printed in 2012. Kashmir Bazm-e- Adab Anantnag has expressed deep grief on his demise.
The mourning is not about a poet gone.It something greater and it is something about bleeding within.The democracy failed in Kashmir yet again as the elected represented of masses could not sustain it and could not align in the interest of the people,interst of the state,interst of the nation and the interest of humanity as well as nature.
I am afraid to witness many more episodes of brutal repression and persecution of Indian humanity in Kashmir under RSS direct rule which means Kashmiri Pandit hegemony successfully reinstated in Kashmir yet again despite the fact that the people of Kashmir rejected the RSS plus Pandit Hegemony in the election.
However,Centre on Friday recommended Governor's rule in Jammu and Kashmir after the major parties failed to form government in in the state. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had received J&K Governor NN Vohra's report on Thursday night on the government formation in the state.
Jammu and Kashmir went to polls along with Jharkhand and the counting of votes for the two states took place on December 23. While government in Jharkhand has already been formed, Jammu and Kashmir has been deprived of a popular government as no major party - PDP (28 seats), BJP (25 seats). National Conference (15) and Congress (12) - could cobble up the magic figure of 44 seats in the 87-member state Assembly.
In his report, Vohra is understood to have recommended imposition of Governor's rule saying on the ground that immediate formation of government seems difficult in the state.
Omar Abdullah also paved for a Governor's Rule on Thursday by deciding not to continue as caretaker chief minister, arguing that the state needed a full-time administrator to deal with the situation along the border with Pakistan.
Omar met Vohra in Delhi on Wednesday night soon after his return from London after a 12-day visit to his ailing parents and is understood have conveyed that he wished to be relieved of the position of caretaker Chief Minister.
He was asked to continue as caretaker Chief Minister on December 24 after his resignation in the wake of defeat of his NC in the Assembly poll.
Following the hung verdict, BJP has been in touch with both NC and PDP for government formation but nothing concrete has emerged so far to break the deadlock. NC does not appear to be in favour of joining hands with BJP and PDP is struggling to convince its cadres for a tie up with the saffron party.
The new Government is required to be constituted before January 19 when the term of the current Assembly expires failing which Governor's rule looks inevitable. Omar's decision means such a rule may have to be imposed earlier.
Omar is believed to have told Vohra that it was not possible for him to provide relief as a caretaker Chief Minister to the people along the border in Jammu where constant shelling has led to loss of houses and migration to safer places. He was not in a position to help people affected by the floods in the Valley who are facing a harsh winter.
Sources said Omar has conveyed to the Governor that nearly 10,000 people have been dislodged along the International Border and Line of Control due to escalated tension between Indian and Pakistani forces.
Omar reasoned that the state effectively did not have a government since October last week after the Model Code of Conduct came into force for the Assembly polls, the sources said.
Omar has already put the onus on his arch-rival PDP for pushing the state to a Constitutional crisis. "I don't envy the @jkpdp having to explain the imminent imposition of central rule when they've had a credible offer of support from @JKNC," Omar had tweeted on Wednesday.
The state is witnessing such a stalemate for the second time in 12 years. A similar situation had arisen when Farooq Abdullah had asked the then Governor GC Saxena to relieve him of being a caretaker Chief Minister as PDP and Congress were taking a lot of time in cobbling up numbers to form the government.
Despite intervention by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Abdullah refused to continue as the caretaker Chief Minister and the Governor's rule had to be imposed for a fortnight from October 18, 2002.
Samiya Latief wrote in DNA:
More than a fortnight since the election results in Jammu and Kashmir were announced, Governor's rule has finally been imposed in the state, one day afterOmar Abdullah stepped down as the caretaker chief minister. While the PDP has accused the former chief minister of acting 'childish', Abdullah stated that given the situation on the border with Pakistan, a caretaker government would not be able to do justice to the needs of the people.
But the PDP has largely maintained a silence over speculations on forming a coalition government with the BJP. Whether the party is buying time to prepare people of the valley to the union, only time will tell. However, everyone will agree that this mandate has put everyone in a fix – political parties in Kashmir and outside, people in the state, separatists and even those who did not vote in the valley.
So what is actually holding the political parties back from forming a government? Has the religious undertones that the mandate put forward complicated the situation further? The results of the Assembly Elections has clearly shown that people who came out to vote did so along religious lines. Though the PDP won in the valley, it got only 3 seats outside. The BJP was not successful in its Mission 44 and was restricted to the Jammu division only.
The mandate to the parties along religious lines is not something new, but it surely is a dangerous one. In 2008, when the unrest over the Amarnath land row started, the people of Kashmir were not welcome in the Jammu division. Even though the Amarnath yatra went on peacefully, there were reports of people being beaten, drivers being assaulted on highways and students feeling insecure in different colleges during that period.
The tangled state of affairs in Jammu and Kashmir has got even more complicated over time and the political parties have also played their role in this. This polarisation is the direct consequence of the well planned ploy of using people as a vote bank. Considering the fallout of such a polarisation, people of the state have to be careful not to fall prey to anything that could have dangerous repercussions.
Political issues aside, whether or not the people of Jammu side with the people in the valley on political issues, it should not widen the already fragile bond between the people of this region on religious lines. This would prove to be irreversible not only for the people, but also for the political parties.
