“China will help us bring it back”, he said, remorselessly. Shamelessly. A man who says “Kashmir Kya tumhare baap ka Hain”, a man who transforms himself into an advocate for militants who decimate innocents, and a man who panders to the enemy at every single opportunity he gets, Farooq Abdullah, who is astonishingly, a member of parliament, has no right to call himself an Indian. Sitting on the very tolerant Indian soil that gave birth to him, fully exercising the rights he has been awarded as a sitting member of parliament, what does Farooq think of himself?
Seeking, or rather demanding the intervention of an enemy who, decimate and strip apart the Uighur Muslims to shreds, Abdullah, I think, has no right to call himself a nationalist anymore. A man who decides to become an advocate for the terrorists, a man who keeps mum when Khulbhushan Jadhav is treated with malice and a man who suggests us to resume conversation with a country that murders for fun, Farooq Abdullah, an eighty two year old Member of Parliament and former Chief Minister of the State had absolutely no moral right to say what he said, thoroughly insulting and trashing the integrity and sovereignty of the very country that provided him shelter.
It is indeed appalling. Both, how he finds the gumption and audacity to say these malicious statements and how most of us, apart from the mindless supporters of this traitor, choose to not speak up for our country and instead, watch as he invites the very country we have been battling against, to come, break open our boundaries and rule the country, not to mention try to restore a dead Article 370, that was, if you didn’t know, temporary.
How long will we let this go on? How long will this state of misusing freedom of speech go on? How long will we face this state of embarrassment where members of parliament please our enemies through these derogatory and demeaning remarks against our very own native land? We have been tolerating it for decades. Centuries, to be precise. But the time has come now to put a stop to it. To draw a final line though Farooq has crossed all of them already. The time has come to become a hardliner for your nation, demand from the current government that he is thrown into the most unnerving and nerve-racking prisons and put an end to the disgraceful comments our country has been at the brunt of, protect and avenge our mother India by showing these goons their place.
In an attempt to appease separatist forces, it is not uncommon hearing these words from Abdullah’s mouth. It is not uncommon that we see the ungrateful bunch of hooligans who sing and dance for the enemy taking advantage of India’s kindness. Heck, we see the Indian National Congress do that every day. Sambit Patra wasn’t surprised when the Vadra-Congress, now a sinking ship in terms of even existing as a political party, backed Abdullah’s seditious statement and I’m sure the public wasn’t either.
To watch day by day as a party that was once governed by legends, deteriorate to this stage is shocking and abnormal. Yet, them supporting the likes of Farooq, who openly condemn and despise our motherland is perfectly alright. It is a shame that the INC, the foundation of our freedom struggle still wants to hold on and clench the long rope that we have given them despite their atrocities.
But that being said, it was Farooq from the so-called National Conference and not the fifty-one-year-old adolescent Rahul Gandhi who said these words. It was Abdullah who kept changing his goalposts, who sometimes, even for the sake of a seat in the parliament, sang Ram-Dhun. But inevitably, as always, the question falls on the Congress party. Who are they trying to defend and support? Who are they welcoming and what kind of ludicrous statements do they accept in lieu of merely opposing the ruling party? In process of opposing the Modi Govt., will they go on to familiarize themselves with these ignominious statements?
Who are they defending? Are they defending a man, who on the 19th of September, advocated for the nine Al-Qaeda operatives nabbed by the NIA in Bangalore and Kolkata and sought that India ought to resume dialog with Pakistan? Or are they defending a man who declared stone pelters as freedom fighters? A man who is a threat to public safety? Or, are they defending a man who has called India ‘dead’? An individual who called Burhan Wani a hero? A man, who said that 5th August 2019 was the final nail in the coffin of India, after stating that Kashmir would get independence only if abrogation takes place, thus, boldly communalizing the abrogation of Article 370?
The question is to be posed to the INC as to why they support these despicable individuals, why they continue to tarnish their image and why they continue to mindlessly, not oppose the ruling party, but in lieu of opposing the party’s every move, decide to side with ludicrous, anti-national statements? Why does the Congress Party decide to side with a man who says that there will never be peace in Jammu and Kashmir, who says that Kashmiris don’t feel Indian and takes pleasure in uttering plenty more irrational statements yet still participates in the elections in lieu of his perks, his salary and his position? The ball is in the Congress’ court now, and they ought to answer these pertinent questions.
Coming to the defendant, the individual the Congress Party is defending so vigorously, Farooq Abdullah, who couldn’t even be loyal to Kashmiris, a man who has taken part in election rigging, a man who is corrupt, who wants Article 370 to act a shield and exempt him from being transparent about funds, a man who has taken hundred crores from the Cricket Association, a man who is one of the biggest hypocrites, a huge anti-national, and an MP who has failed to live up to his oath. Has he forgotten the oath he took, when he pledged, as a Member of Parliament to always uphold the sovereignty and integrity of the country? How much leeway and latitude do we give such absconding individuals? How many lines do we let them cross before we put an end to this once and for all? Before we stop such ludicrous, ridiculous and such insane comments? Isn’t this the death of Indian Democracy?
Personally, I feel that traitors like Farooq Abdullah have been given too much freedom. To sit in this kind, giving country, and present himself as an advocate for the enemy, what more is left of Farooq Abdullah? He takes advantage of the extremely flexible levels of freedom of speech, and insults the integrity of the country. He thinks he can say whatever he wants and get away with it. But I pity him for he couldn’t be more wrong. Because this isn’t the India that will tolerate this nonsense. This isn’t the India that will take this sitting down and give the freedom it has given to these traitors. This new India will not tolerate these insane and completely seditious comments against the land.
I used the word insane above, for I feel quite upset looking at the plight of Abdullah. It is unfortunate that he has not a crumb of knowledge regarding the very Article he wants China to re-establish. Farooq Abdullah has no clue regarding the birth of Article 370. He doesn’t know that the Article was temporary, he pays no heed to the fact that the amendment was done in a Constitutional manner, and he fails to recognize the importance of the speech the honourable MP of Ladakh gave in the Lok Sabha, highlighting the very importance of the abrogation. He then fails to take note of how the honourable Supreme Court itself has upheld the decision.
Does Mr. Abdullah place himself above the Supreme Court? Does he place himself above the law? We can only draw inferences that he is unable and incapable of digesting the feats of the legislation. But that is not all. Not only is he thoroughly uninformed regarding the Article he is defending, who has he asked to help him with this ungodly task? Who is it that he has asked to stand by him when he plans to bring back an Article from the dead?
He has asked the torturers. The ones who have no locus standi whatsoever. The ones who dole out excruciating and agonizing pain to the Muslims. The ones who slaughter, decimate and destroy the Uighur Muslim race. The ones who put the Uighur Muslims into these horrendous detention camps and then beat them up black and blue, not allowing them to do their namaz, who cane innocent women and children mercilessly, all due to the fact that they are Muslim. The despicable people who tell them that if they agree to sign a paper stating that they would not “be” Muslim anymore, the beatings would stop. And yet, shamelessly, this MP has gone and said that he would prefer to be ruled under China?
Now that we have got the irrational choice in choosing someone to fulfil his nonsensical wish out of the way, let’s come to the timing. As I write this piece, there are more than 60,000 Chinese troops on the Eastern side of Ladakh. A conflict could arise any moment. And yet, this politician, a former Chief and Union Minister, aware of the situation, makes such cheap comments? What does he think of himself?
And now, finally, for the ones who speak about freedom of speech and human rights, I have nothing but a few simple questions. Who killed Babar Qadri, the man who stood with the terrorists, the man who advocated for the enemy? The very people whom he supported didn’t think twice before plunging the bullet into his forehead. And if it isn’t blatant enough, that is the irony. Now, moving on to the precious human rights.
The Human Rights that Farooq Abdullah so vigorously defends. But before the Article 370, that Abdullah seeks China’s intervention to restore, was abrogated, where were the human rights, for seven long years, of the Valmiki Samaj? Where were the Human Rights for the children who were deprived of decent education? Where were the rights of women, who, when married outside the state, had no rights on land? Who were prone to domestic violence, since the Act for Protection of Women from Domestic Violence was not applicable? Why were the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act and the Juvenile Justice Act not applicable? Where was the fundamental right, the Right to Education?
Why wasn’t there a political reservation for the scheduled tribes and where did the rights of the forest tribes disappear to? Why were sanitation workers denied citizenship and where did the rights of the scheduled castes go? The 20,000 odd West Pakistani Refugees were denied democratic rights before this vicious act was abrogated. It is thus a humble request to Mr Abdullah that if a fourteen-year-old from the other end of the country knows this much, as a “ground level” parliamentarian, he ought to know the situation the constituencies face and do the needful. Yet, here he is screaming at the top of his lungs regarding Human Rights and begging for the restoration of the very Article 370 that abolished them. Surely, hypocrisy isn’t the right word to describe this.
But despite all this, I think we can bring a change in the way these traitors think. No, it isn’t the method of “warning” them the way the BJP government in Gujarat “warned” the channels who spread fake news. No, it is something much more courageous to tackle this seditious comment. Something we failed to do to Arundhati Roy, who openly sold the Indian passport. We ought to revoke this man’s passport. His citizenship. And strip him off the Indian identity he so often insults and trashes.
Section 10 of The Passport Act of 1967 states, almost identically to the oath this MP took in the parliament, that in the interest of the sovereignty and integrity of India, a passport can be revoked. His oath said the same thing, yet he broke it time and time again. And so, I ask you, why shouldn’t we strip his passport and teach the likes of him a lesson? Why should we give a license to others to speak this kind of nonsense against the country that gives them everything? Cut out the privileges this man receives. For Farooq Abdullah, will not die an Indian.
At the end of the day though, the question falls at the doorstep of our households. Are we ready to be hardliners and condemn those who need to be condemned? Are we ready to uphold the integrity and sovereignty of our motherland? Are we ready to not pay heed of the lip service people will offer while opposing us and instead put our nation first? Are we ready to stand for what is right and prevent these kinds of seditious statements hereby? Because, ladies and gentlemen if we are, then the matter is as simple as can get.
Conquering the likes of Pakistan and China, showing them the gloomy hands of defeat, that is a daily duty for our armed forces. They will manage and they will uphold our country’s integrity. They will hold our flag high for defeating the enemies outside, it is a piece of cake for them. It is only the enemies and traitors inside our homeland, the modern-day Mir Jafars that it is difficult to wipe out.
But if we are able to rid ourselves of this plaque in the form of these anti-nationalists, then that is victory for us, brothers and sisters. Because for a happy India tomorrow, we need a safe India today.
Jai Hind!
