No relevance’, Centre asks UN mission to vacate Delhi office

The Narendra Modi government has asked the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) to vacate the government bungalow housing its office in the heart of the Capital, in a sign of its toughening stand towards the UN mission.

The Indian Express has learnt that South Block has asked the UNMOGIP to vacate the bungalow — 1AB, Purana Qila Road — which has been serving as its office for the last four decades. The government accommodation — a Type VII bungalow, about 7,000 square feet — was allotted to the UN mission “free of charge”.

Sources said in its recent communication to the UN, the government has conveyed that the UNMOGIP’s role has been overtaken by the Simla Agreement and the consequent establishment of the Line of Control. New Delhi is of the view that the UNMOGIP has “no relevance or role to play whatsoever”.

The UNMOGIP, established under a UN Security Council Resolution, was meant to supervise the ceasefire line established under the Karachi Agreement of July 1949.

The government’s decision is being seen as a move to convey Delhi’s desire to not engage with the UN mission in Delhi. “They should stay in Srinagar and do what they want. In case they want to be stationed in Delhi, they should hire premises in a private property and not occupy the government accommodation,” said a senior official requesting anonymity.

When contacted, UNMOGIP’s Military Information Officer Major Tomas Malm, who is based in Srinagar, confirmed that the government has asked them to vacate the premises. “UNMOGIP’s response is to relocate to another location in Delhi,” he said. Asked if they have been told the reason for this directive, he said, “The Indian authorities’ reason is unknown to UNMOGIP.”

Asked if the move reflected New Delhi’s stand towards UNMOGIP, he said, “You have to ask the Indian government regarding their attitude towards us”.

According to a source familiar with the arrangement between South Block and UNMOGIP, the bunglow “was allotted to the UNMOGIP as part of a gentleman’s agreement between Indian officials and the UN mission over 40 years ago. It was meant to be a short-term arrangement, and the UNMOGIP officials were supposed to move to a private hired accommodation. But that never happened.”

Even as South Block officials are yet to get the property vacated, the Ministry of External Affairs’ finance department has told them that it will not be able to provide budgetary support for such “goodwill gestures”.
 
So what were these blokes doing in Delhi anyway? Having a ball at the government's expense? Pretty long vacation, what?

They need to pack up a go, pronto!
 
Looks like a clear msg to UN by new gov. in New Delhi that they are irrelevant now in this dispute. And their isn't any need of them. And they won't be entertained on this matter even in srinagar 1 or 2 decades down the line ;)

In Shrinagar; they are only extended "chai-biskoot" hospitality.......
In any case UNMOGIP has largely been a 'paid sinecure' for stagnating Military Officers from nearly moribund Military forces. Brian Cloughsley was one such.

Well Bharatis needed them to drag the world/UN into Kashmir issue

Please read the history.
or eat badam (almonds)
or preferably both
 
This wasa message to UN regarding Kashmir issue, The relocation of Pandits in Kashmir and the scrapping of ART 370, will soon follow.Everything going as planned to settle Border issues and Kashmir.
 
And instead they got one long paid up holiday at Bharat's expense :D

They will be around in one form or the other, until the $tupid rajas of the subcontinent fight each others, $tupidly pulling each other down like they all have done for the last 1000 years if not more.

As I said, ignoring history means you and I'll commit the same mistakes

over and over
over and over
over and over

over .....

you get the idea.
 
7000 sq ft, for 40 years free lodging in Delhi for these worthless things woow...

While they all seem fine and dandy to the Hindutvadi crowd,

This type of bull-headed approach can hurt Bharat badly and other countries will suffer too.

Indeed I do. The sad part is that in the past, the Rajas were dictators and the people had no choice in which wars they picked. Hence, Raja A would pick a fight with Raja B since Raja A loved the sweet mangoes growing in Raja B's orchids and decided that he should enjoy that fruit for himself thus sending the common buffoons of his empire to battle without any choice on their part. Currently, it is the common man himself who has a say about which Raja he puts into power for a limited time. Instead of dictating to their Rajas that the negotiating table is the most cheapest and effective alternative, the common man gets oh so excited when the Rajas buy big shiny expensive war toys with their monies. Offcourse the kickbacks makes the Rajas happy whilst the buffoons (oops I meant common man) remains a sucker. Times have changed but the landscape remains always the same
 
Well, then it shouldn't matter that Bharat is also telling them they are not wanted anymore, isn't it?

Whatever may be

I was just responding to the naive and surprised responses from some posters.

-- Yeah Kaisay huwa
--- Kiyon huwa....

--- Yeh na poocho

Bollywood music/ imitation added,. :-)
