By RSG, An announcement that Prime Minister would convene a meeting of all parties of Jammu Kashmir has infused a fresh lease of life to over a dozen of politicians who otherwise were relaxing in their sluggish political lounges firstly they being jobless and secondly being under the strict watch of Covid.
Look! Who is invited to talk to the Prime Minister and what they would talk about? A flurry of activities in Jammu, Srinagar and New Delhi are kicking which has forced the Covid variants to avail a short leave for the time being. The Who 's who of the All-Party Meet promptly huddled into meetings, discussions over short and long-distance calls and were making announcements for their participation. And those who are deprived of the privilege of having a cup of tea in the company of Prime Minister started protests and cursing for Centre's act of discrimination.
Who doesn't want to be back into the business? Afraid of going politically irrelevant, Leaders from Kashmir waited for a long and that too united under PAGD banner with others supporting it, was a Godsend opportunity. Protestors and grumblers like a twin of JKNPP that expelled Uncle Bhim Singh, Shiv ki Sena, Ikk-jutt, Maya's BSP, late GulShah's ANC and sundries from Jammu and Srinagar do not know the criteria of choosing the invitees by the host as they feel they too are men of consequences.
Keeping in view their track-record, the invited fourteen leaders from five regional and three national parties bear a ratio of nine from Kashmir including Azad for serving Kashmir Interest, three though from Jammu but on the strings of national BJP which presumably owns Trade-Mark rights of Jammu and another from Jammu a flip-flopper who pendulated throughout. Thus in today's world of virtual mode, Jammu region goes unrepresented virtually.
This is unfair on the part of New Delhi to deny a proper representation to Jammu as the all-party meeting will be purely a Centre-Kashmir affair.
