The spineless Mufti is at it again with his “healing” touch, this time aimed for those across the LOC in POK. First it was his daughter with talk of joint management of Jammu & Kashmir with suggestions of reserving seats in the legislature. Next it was him with talk of recognizing Pakistan currency in Kashmir.
Now the Mufti is back with his latest demand – safe passage for militants who cross over from POK as well as government aid to families of slain militants.
The rate at which the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and his daughter Mehbooba Mufti are thinking out of the box, it makes one wonder if this is the right box ?
With so many out of the box ideas all of which have to do with Pakistan Occuppied Kashmir, it is perhaps germane to ask the Mufti to consider running for office in POK rather than in J&K.
In fact let us make this the litmus test of his “healing touch” brand of politics.
If the Mufti believes so seriously that joint management of Kashmir with POK will heal wounds, respecting both currencies will bridge hearts and providing safe passage and aid to militants will pave the path for normalcy, then how about starting with POK.
Why doesnt the Mufti offer to run for office in POK to get one-up on joint management ?
While he is at it why doesnt he offer to pay for his campaign in Indian Rupees ?
Last but not the least why doesnt he obtain guarantees of safe passage for his supporters across the LOC into POK and back so he can run a spirited campaign ?
With the PPP at the helm in Pakistan, the Mufti must feel encouraged to make his case for POK, after all a mere alphabet separates his party from the PPP.
But then we would have none of this would we ?
Offstumped Bottomline: With elections impending in Jammu & Kashmir, the PDP’s Mufti and his daughter are working overtime to shore up their prospects with some outrageously out of the box ideas. Its perhaps time the father daugher duo realized they are probably in the wrong box. Any serious proposal to make the LOC irrelevant must start with Pakistan Occuppied Kashmir for cross border terrorism is not bi-directional.

how about ’safe passage’ for kashmiri pandits to kashmir ?
Kashmir needs to be partioned and jammu and ladakh seperated to create a new state. Jammu and Ladakh should be stripped of the article 370 special status. Kashmiris should be made to obtain a visa if they want to come to India, and should not be allowed to buy land or live in India without permission, with the same stringent requirements as pakistanis have to comply with. Also kashmiri pandits should be given refugee status in India, so they do not have to comply with these requirements. The seccesionists, political and militant, should be dealt with under the barrel of the gun.
how’s that mr mufti for out of the box thinking ?
Maybe we can exchange mehbooba mufti for some JEM terrorists ? =)
And this is the GUY (Mufti Mohammad Sayeed) for whose daughter India started the trend or releasing terrorist.We should have instead told the hostage takers that we will not only NOT release any terrorists but you can take her father (Mufti Mohammad Sayeed) too.
In a sense it is nice if the mainstream politicians like the Muftis can marginalise the Hurriyat and its ilk by such outlandish acts and demands. Where will Geelani and his friends go now?
The issue of credibility will come to haunt the PDP now. They are on the NC way with their populism at election time.
The PDP motto– If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em
Ha Ha AH ! SECULARISM…..
Why not Mufti….Lez go and listen to the Pakis and appease em ..and give em whatever they want….
AND TO TOP IT ALL THE GUY IS AN “ALLIANCE PARTNER” in the U.P.A….
THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA !!!!!
Traitors hold important posts in the government….
COME 2009 ….BYE BYE U.P.A……
