Modi govt’s trip for envoys to J&K exposes rift between home and external affairs ministries
If Modi government intended the envoys to see the situation in Kashmir ‘first-hand’, it needed to do more than letting the diplomats spend 3-4 hours there.

The Narendra Modi government’s second trip for foreign envoys to Jammu and Kashmir also turned out to be a damp squib even as the situation in the Valley remains tense. But while the first visit of Right-wing European parliamentarians in November 2019 was criticised as a “PR stunt”, the two-day visit of 15 envoys last week had an unintended consequence: it exposed the tension between the Modi government’s two ministries – the external affairs ministry and the home ministry.

On both occasions, the Modi government’s intention was for the world to see the ‘normalcy’ in Jammu and Kashmir after it scrapped the erstwhile state’s special status by diluting Article 370 in August last year. Under pressure internationally over its clampdown on all communication channels, the Modi government hoped to take control of the narrative by organising a visit of Right-wing parliamentarians, but the move backfired. Now, its second attempt too has seemingly failed.


Senior officials in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) are of the view that the Modi government must resolve these “pressing issues immediately” to not attract more international criticism. But they have found little support from the Ministry of Home Affairs led by Amit Shah.

A hurried visit
The Modi government may not realise this but a lot of troubles stem from the way the two-day visit, organised by the MEA and the MHA together, was conducted. The envoys spent only one night, in Jammu, during their trip to the new union territory.

The envoys left from Delhi early morning of 9 January and went straight to Srinagar, Kashmir. Amid tight security, they visited the military headquarters and met some civil society groups before leaving for Jammu the same day. They spend the night of 9 January in Jammu, travelled to a few places there the following day – the highlight being a visit to the refugee camps for Kashmiri Pandits – and returned to Delhi that same evening.

If the government really intended the envoys to see the situation in the Valley “first-hand”, it needed to do more than letting them spend only three-four hours with little to no access to common civilians as well as local political leaders who are under detention.

More troubles
The envoys’ visit, which the 28-member European Union grouping refused to be a part of, has opened a Pandora’s box of issues for the Modi government instead of soothing the international community’s nerves.

For one, it once again got slammed by the US for the continued communication lockdown, less than 24 hours after American Ambassador to India Kenneth Juster, who was part of the visiting group, touched down in Delhi.

The US State Department expressed concerns over internet restrictions and detention of local political leaders in J&K for over five months now.

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Alice Wells tweeted Saturday that the Trump administration would “look forward to a return to normalcy” in the Valley. Wells, who is visiting Delhi this week, will be taking up the matter with the Modi government.


Second, it gave the opposition yet another chance to badger the BJP for holding another guided tour. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh called it “double standards” of the Modi government for allowing foreign diplomats to travel to Kashmir while barring Indian politicians from visiting the valley.

Security loophole
The Modi government’s main focus since the Article 370 move has been on strengthening the security apparatus in Jammu and Kashmir. And the last thing it would have wanted was it to come undone in front of foreign envoys. DSP Davinder Singh, who was part of the security ring of the envoys at the airport, was arrested Saturday with two Hizbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba militants in south Kashmir. He has been booked under the Unlawful Activity Act and will be tried as a “terrorist”.


This won’t look well for the Modi government, which is fast losing support internationally, even in the US. The resolution on Kashmir by Indian-American Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, introduced in the House of Representatives on 6 December 2019, got support from six more members last week, taking the total number of cosponsors to 36.

The resolution seeks to urge New Delhi to end the communication restrictions and mass detentions in Jammu and Kashmir as swiftly as possible and preserve religious freedom for all residents. The resolution, even if it never becomes law, is indicative of the fact that days of India enjoying bipartisan support in the US Congress are certainly numbered now.

How this DSP became terrorist after providing security to foreign envoys..

Such a comedy. Great to watch.

PDF clowns will parrot the purchased narrative that some white congressman with no actual knowledge of India but with ties to deep pocketed lobbyists said Kashmir is hunky dory. Meanwhile an INDIAN ORIGIN AMERICAN is pushing for a motion without any deep pocketed Hindutva diaspora lobbyists or pandit funding in her corner.

Great to see Delhi waste the hard earned lobby funds of Indians while other indians fight against them with the funds of other indians.

Iss pe movie banani chahiye..

In 2017 i said on this forum there are movies being made about

I am Raju and I am not a Terrorist/Rapist/Lyncher.

In 2019 i said mass graves are being discovered in India.

I guess we need to wait till 2021 after the year of the superpower is over.

I guess we have to wait for it. May be a Christopher Nolan or Martin Scorsese type director would be born amongst us. India Civil War idea is way too legit too pass, but yahan pe koi acha director he nahi hai. Maybe Shoaib Mansoor but I don't think he will be down with this idea. The liberal scums are way too tilted towards india.

While for a movie in India, My name is Raju, is a good topic. He struggles his whole life trying to convince people he is not an IRS scammer, rapist or a lyncher, but I don't think there is much audience for that kind of movie in their society, they don't want real issues to be portrayed on big screen. May be if we give him some kind of illness, which can be cured by gow-mutra? Now that could be hit in India no?

Man it would be the next evolution.

Raju became a gentleman in bollywood back in the 90s. Now after going through 50 different shades it has settled on the above mentioned avatars.

Everyone talks about internal sectarian warfare in Islam. Man 33 million Gods and their armies are like a lot to handle in one movie or a series.

I am getting a 1000 episode Indian serial type of vibe from this. Their tv audience is way too stupid, we don't even have to put effort in writing a good story. All we have to is copy paste the tried and tested formula, when ever he comes with a new avatar we just use excessive photoshoping with dishoo dishoon sounds. Seriously it could be Raju the IRS scammer avatar, Raju the Rapist, Raju the lyncher. Add swami into the mix too, who proposes him to be married to a literal bi-tch so that his paaps/sins from his previous life are cleared.

It's not even an exaggeration, many in India would relate to it. I assume this serial to be super hit in India.
