ISL Chief: Don’t import religious scholars into Kashmir
Failed of ‘Political Integration’ Delhi is bent upon to use “Religious integration”
Raising a note of caution, Islamic Students League patron Shakeel Bakshi Saturday said that the trend of importing religious scholars and preachers from India and other countries for delivering sermons in different religious conferences, in Kashmir by local religious parties, institutions and school of thoughts is a matter of serious concern.
Though in times of peace such parleys are worthy for the betterment of society, and provide a good opportunity, but when we are under foreign occupation, striving and engaged in our battle of survival such exercises seem part of a larger conspiracy crafted by the rulers of Delhi.
ISL Patron said that Delhi and its policy makers are engaged and planning against our freedom struggle on multi fronts, to keep their forcible occupation intact and to dilute our sentiment and commitment towards movement. They are already on job – politically, militarily, diplomatically, on educational, economical and cultural fronts, and from last few years they have added this sectarian religious factor to their list of fronts; and our religious organizations and institutes seem to play along intentionally or unintentionally.
Bakshi said that ,Given our religious sentiments and love of Ulema, New Delhi has crafted a well thought out plan to use religion for the design of integration and has made it a continuous process. It is under this process that these religious scholars are being exported here and their activities here are appreciated. We should not forget this bitter truth that on one side when we have restrictions on the freedom of speech and expression, we are barred from attending the funerals of our beloved ones, we are not allowed to offer Friday prayers, but on the other hand scores of Ulema and other religious scholars are provided assistance to travel and whole state machinery is activated to make these conferences a success. In these conferences and seminars the esteemed guests deliver knowledgeable sermons but always fail to utter a word or two against the occupational atrocities being committed in the length and breadth of this subjugated land, instead overtly or covertly they suggest subjugated lot to shun the path of their just struggle.
ISL Patron further Said that History is witness to this fact that this is not first time Delhi Durbar is using religious scholars and Ulema for its designs. In past they have used the services of Moulana Abul Kalam Azad, elder Syed Ahmed Bukhari and Moulana Waheed ud Deen Khan for the same purpose in regard of Kashmir.
Given the disputed nature of Kashmir, facilitating and organizing All India Level and International Level conferences in Kashmir should be seen and understood in this back ground. As natives of Jammu Kashmir and as part and parcel of freedom movement, it is duty and responsibility of all religious organizations, institutions and all school of thoughts to revisit and rethink their strategy regarding this particular process and stop being contributing in implementation of occupational designs of Delhi. Kashmir has enough Religious potential that can be offered by ‘Ulema e Haq’ though not ‘Ulma e Sue’.
