Srinagar, June 2: Miffed at the “double standards” of Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Jammu & Kashmir Ittihdul Muslimeen (JKIM) today said it will decide on rejoining the amalgam only if the Working Committee of the party authorizes it.
“We will decide on rejoining the Hurriyat only after a meeting of the Central Working Committee of the party,” a spokesman of the JKIM, which was suspended last month for meeting Centre’s interlocutors against the amalgam decision, said.
The Executive Committee of the Hurriyat Conference revoked the suspension of JKIM during a meeting yesterday.
“The revocation of the suspension order is a welcome step. The decision has not only cleared the misgivings but also vindicated our stand,” the JKIM spokesman said. “Since the issue has been sent to the CWC of the party, it is the only authority to decide the future course of action,” he said adding an “extraordinary meeting” would be called shortly.
Accusing the Hurriyat chairman of adopting “double standards”, the spokesman questioned why no action is taken against those constituents who are involved in parallel activities and issuing such statements which even violate the Hurriyat constitution.
“It is surprising that the Hurriyat chairman observes silence when parallel activities are being carried out by some constituents despite a leader speaking about division of the state which is not only unrealistic and unacceptable but also against the Hurriyat constitution,” the spokesman said.
“When our leader (Ansari) demonstrated traditional Kashmiri gesture to the guests in accordance with the Islamic teachings, he is shown the exit while no action was initiated against others,” he said.
Criticizing the separatist leaderships for meeting one delegation and leaving another, the spokesman said, “There are several committees active on Kashmir. After Dileep Padgoankar led interlocutors, another committee headed by Ram Jethmalani has reached Kashmir.
“Although both committees are similar and designed to recommend measures after holding talks, they cannot take a decision. But if Hurriyat stand is that the dialogue process can prove result-oriented and purposeful only when initiated at a higher level, then what is the meaning of ignoring one and meeting the other,” the spokesman said.
He said members of such committees are “government employees” and there is no difference whether they are appointed by government or not.
The spokesman said Pakistan’s involvement is imperative for a final solution to the Kashmir issue.
“We strongly believe in unity and our stand on Kashmir issue is clear that it cannot be resolved through bilateral talks. Pakistan is a historic party and sidelining it cannot help in reaching a final settlement,” he said.
