Nothing else will break Jammu deadlock
The failure of the all-party delegation, led by Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, to make any headway with convincing the Sri Amarnath Sangharsh Samiti to call off the agitation in Jammu does not come as a surprise. Indeed, the outcome of Saturday's 'talks' could have been predicted even before the delegation left Delhi. This is primarily because the Congress (as well as its 'secular' allies), desperate to be seen as denying Hindus their rights and dignity while shamelessly capitulating before belligerent Muslims in Kashmir Valley, continues to subscribe to the fiction that the rage sweeping through Jammu region can be doused without conceding an inch. Indeed, the spurious all-party meeting and the equally bogus all-party delegation are part of the UPA Government's efforts to try and browbeat Jammu's enraged Hindus into submission. The Prime Minister, obsessed as he is with pushing through the hugely flawed India-US civil nuclear cooperation agreement -- and thus please the Americans -- to the exclusion of all national concerns, obviously does not have either the time or the inclination to solve the crisis which is fast slipping out of control in Jammu. In any event, he cannot be expected to do anything that militates against his stated 'Muslims first' policy, which lies at the root of his Government's only success: Alienating and enraging India's Hindu majority. Hence, it was only to be expected that Mr Patil would offer nothing and peremptorily demand that the protesters should back off from their position on the Amarnath shrine land issue. But the Prime Minister and his thoroughly incompetent Home Minister miscalculated on the resolve of Jammu's protesters: Instead of deriving satisfaction from the Sangharsh Samiti tamely giving up its demands, they are smarting from a rude though richly deserved snub.
The Sangharsh Samiti has made it abundantly clear that nothing short of the Government accepting its three demands will end the protest in Jammu, which entered its 40th day on Saturday -- by all records an unprecedented demonstration of Hindu fury. These are: <b>Governor NN Vohra, who has played a proactive role in humiliating Hindus by recommending to the State Government to cancel the land allotment order and is widely seen as biased against Jammu's interests because of his past words and deeds, must be recalled; the Governor's letter seeking cancellation of the allotment of land, written without the approval of the Sri Amarnath Shrine Board, should be withdrawn; and, the 97 acres of land meant for creating facilities for pilgrims should be restored to the board. </b>If the Prime Minister and his political boss are truly interested in resolving the crisis, then they must begin by accepting the first demand of the Sangharsh Samiti: Mr Vohra should be recalled without any further delay and replaced by someone who is not burdened by the baggage of anti-Jammu bias and will not blindly do the bidding of the Congress to hurt Hindu sentiments. This is a tall order given the predilections of the Congress. But nothing short of this will convince the Sangharsh Samiti to negotiate on the other two issues. It is now for the UPA Government to take a call on what is in India's interest. Having short-changed the nation on the nuclear deal, the Congress can partly redeem itself by doing the right thing on the crisis in Jammu. Or it can prove once again that Hindu interests are of no concern to the Government it leads.Â

Hindu hater Moron Singh will never accept any suggestion.
Indians should vote them out.
