NEW DELHI: Members of an all-party delegation that went to Kashmir shouldn't have tried to meet Hurriyat members and those who raise slogans like 'Pakistan Zindabad,' said a delegation of Muslim clerics who met Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday, ANI reported.
The clerics from the Barelvi school met with Rajnath to discuss the situation in Kashmir.
"Some people who went with the home minister to Kashmir went to meet separatists, they should not have done that. How can we talk to people who are raising 'Pakistan zindabad' slogans? We are very clear that we would not go at their doorstep only to be turned away by them, like they did to a handful of people recently," said Maulana Ansar Raza of the Garib Nawaz Foundation who led the delegation.
On Sunday, Kashmiri separatists shut the door on members of the all-party delegation, literally, in some instances, as they went to meet them as part of efforts to end the two-month-long unrest in the Valley following Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani's killing. Sources said the separatists had reservations talking to the team as Rajnath Singh was leading it.
"Why should we go to them? Kashmiri kahwa tou Dilli me bhi milta hai (Kashmiri kahwa is available in Delhi too)," Raza said. He called the members of all-party delegation who went to meet the Hurriyat leaders "chai khor".
Centre hardens stance
After the separatists' snub, on Monday, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh expressed his displeasure at the separatists.
"I want to clarify that some members of the (all-party) delegation had gone to meet members of the Hurriyat+ in their individual capacity. The separatists did not say yes and they did not say no. The way they treated the members of the delegation can in no way be portrayed as Kashmiriyat, insaniyat (humanity) or democratic (jamhooriyat)," Rajnath said at a news conference in Srinagar on Monday.
Further, on Tuesday, sources told TOI today that the Centre is considering curtailing perks like foreign trips, security and medical treatment, among other things, for the separatists, in what's being seen as hardening of the government's stance against militants.
On Sunday, Hurriyat hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani, under house arrest since July, refused to meet Sitaram Yechury, D Raja, Sharad Yadav and Jay Prakash Narayan when they went to his residence. Part of the Union home minister Rajnath Singh-led all-party delegation , the MPs had broken off to make the outreach.
