Bilal Bashir Bhat
Rahul Gandhi Sahib! For the last 8 years, for oblivious reasons, you and your party have been far from the political horizon, case of Maharashtra is exceptional. As an opposition, you have disappointed the Kashmiris with the hopes that were attached to your party despite the fact the leader of the opposition was from Jammu and Kashmir. Your recently concluded visit to Kashmir probably helped to bring the Congress into the headlines.
Because I am compelled by my hospitality as a Kashmiri … So I welcome you … but at the same time I open a few pages of the history in front of you … sir … You have to admit that history is not with your side, it is your party Congress who time to time trampled the special status of Kashmir while your arch-rival only hit the winning shot. While staying in power for years and years, you actually hollowed out Article 370.
Mr. Rahul Gandhi! It was your party that reduced the chair of the Prime Minister of Kashmir to the Chief Minister. Your partly premier promised a referendum … It is a different matter then your own party in the same month of August 1953 imprisoned Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and gave Ghulam Mohammad the seat of the Prime Minister of the state. Which was confessed by Sheikh Sahib himself..because you left Kashmir too early, yesterday otherwise I would also offer references to these historical facts.
Yes Yes of course .. Kashmir’s ‘beloved leader’ made that accord with your grandmother but still, this failed to fulfill your party promises. The children of Kashmir have a thorough study of their history, even the promise of the late Jawaharlal Nehru is echoing my generation, though we were not born at that time.
Mr. Rahul Baba, we must be aware that it was your party who put Maqbool Bhat and Afzal Guru on the gallows for your political benefit. It doesn’t matter if you are here today to attend someone’s wedding or for political purposes. You must realize that today your feet are in UT instead of the state. And the process of this change has been put by your party.
Yes … you take the advice and visit another state of India … there you are needed.
Out of my hospitality, I dedicate the following couplets of Habib Jalib to you :
tum ne luuta hai sadiyon hamara sukun
ab na ham par chalega tumhara fusun
charagar dardmandon ke bante ho kyuun
tum nahin charagar koi maane magar
main nahin manta main nahin jaanta
