SINCE my teens, I have been calling the bluff of Jamaat-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir. My belief reinforces with each passing day that Jamaat-e-Islami is an organisation of hypocrites who have no collective or individual character. This Jamaat has only destroyed the rich socio-cultural and religious harmony of this land of saints. They only led the youth of Kashmir to the path of death and destruction. Jamaat indoctrinated almost two generations of Kashmir and made them spill their blood on the streets. But hurrah, whenever the situation didn’t favour them, they would withdraw, surrender and come to their knees in the name of ‘hikmat amli’ (the tactical retreat). They got killed thousands of you on the same pretext as of surrender, withdrawal and retreat.
The people of Kashmir Valley curse them for their double standards. Now they are approaching every mainstream leader of the Kashmir Valley for securing their organisational and individual interests. It is the Jamaat-e-Islami that slaughtered thousands of their detractors (both armed and unarmed) for not acceding to them. They made the mainstream politics unethical and forbidden. They would name and shame the people who were directly or indirectly affiliated with the mainstream politics, made them suffer, discredited them, called them traitors and infidels. But always secured their interests through the same politicians.
I believe those politicians are also shameless and should be condemned who are yet again coming to the rescue of Jamaat. And when I called out the bluff, the politicians across the political parties get annoyed. Either they would have been in Jamaat’s anti-human crusade in the past or they will tend to be in the future, on this foolish hypothesis that Jamaat would support them in the elections. It is absolutely ridiculous on their part. Jamaat has always ditched its allies and it will definitely do so in the future. It is their ideological belief.
Today, it is crystal clear to even a blind person that Jamaat is a group of selfish, characterless people who won’t spare you when they make a comeback on socio-political landscape of Kashmir.
However, more than anything else, people need to keep a track of events which may unfold in coming weeks and months. If Jamaat-e-Islami, for the sake of its ‘hikmat amli’ participates in the elections as and when held directly or indirectly, it should also be held accountable for thousands of those killings it executed simply for taking part in elections.
Hypocrisy: When others would participate in elections, it is treason, betrayal and you will kill them; and it is ‘hikmat amli’ if you do the same thing.
