Has Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) lost its ground of being patriotic after failure of its much hyped and much talked Ekta Rally, where they mocked the Tri-colour from post to pillar?
Was the BJP proposed Ekta Yatra a reel in practicality or was just another political gimmick. Not hurting only sentiments of million of patriotic Indians, BJP’s stunt of unfurling National Flag at Lal Chowk, Srinagar also tattered repute of Tri-colour.
Under the huge speculations, nation wide, BJP launched Ekta Yatra from Calcutta to hoist national flag in disturbed area of Kashmir .
The Yatra saw various impediments, as in the start of the Yatra, chief minister J&K, Omar Abdullah warned BJP for its repercussions and recommended them to discontinue this Yatra, but to forge the iron of politics, BJP continued and so raised the anticipation of the Indian community.
In the wake of the Yatra, the market of the rumors was heated up and speculations were made that to counter the statement of separatists, BJP has made this Yatra firm and will not bend, less than hoisting flag.
But the true colours of the BJP was exposed when they, even after reaching Kashmir (some of the activists, who later were arrested by the J&K police), failed to unfurl flag. In Kashmir , activists of the BJP acted as they have been thwarted by the police, but the body language of the activist was reciprocating their much hyped firm decision.
As after leaving hotel premises, the activists rather than proceeding towards clock tower, started pretending from the very place with tri-colour in hands, to which security forces resorted to manhandling, which was pre-planned activity.
Forces jumped on flag, tried to fetch the flag from the hands of BJP activists and in that drama, it was national entity (Tricolour) which was being mortified.
Did any one ask BJP why they made statement of separatists, a pretext for organising this rally, was it to show that BJP is strictly opposing the school of thoughts of separatists, or was it a maneuver to gain public attention.
It would be shocking to learn that the BJP and Separatists are working under same umbrella. Did anyone ever ask Separatists that who is spoon feeding them, who in India made the separatists heroes and provided them bullet-proof cars and vests, Police and CRPF escorts and VIP treatment, no body knows but it is fact that none other than BJP-led NDA government of Atal Behari Vajpayee and L K Advani.
Contrary to the strong ideological clash between separatist leaders and the Sangh Parivar, there has been an equally strong chemistry between the two. The maximum possible security cover and recognition was provided to the separatist leaders during Vajpayee’s regime in 1999-2004.
Over 200 Police and CRPF personnel, are currently deployed on the “duty” of guarding the politicians disputing and abusing the sovereignty and integrity of this country. Even as ordinary constables or head constables are posted as PSOs with Cabinet Ministers and most of the mainstream politicians, Sub Inspectors and Assistant Sub Inspectors are functioning as heads of the security cover provided to the separatist leaders.
Mocking over the relation with separatists, BJP always pitched voice against anti-national activities of the separatists and hence making them a pretext to firm their stand of being nationalistic.
