India must remain at guards against mischief: Prof Gupta

Jammu Tawi: Pakistan seems to be itching for another round.  What is sad happening in Kashmir is not a localized affair. India must remain at guards to respond effectively to any mischief. This was stated by former Union Minister, Chaman Lal Gupta, while talking to groups of migrants from Pak-held areas as also from the valley and refugees from Pakistan staying in the State. Gupta recalled that Pakistan had come into being on basis of hate India and it was unfortunate that its rulers, mostly the Army dictators, have learnt no lessons from the conflicts over the decades. Belligerency on part of the neighbor is on the increase in various forms viz. the cross border terror, violations of ceasefire, mounting infiltration bids, pumping of fake currency, smuggling of narcotics and heavily funding  of violence, he added and cautioned against showing any slackness in dealing with the designs of separatists and perpetrators of violence. He also pointed out that the boggy of Kashmir gets louder when such like problems are aggravated  in Balochistan, POK and elsewhere.

Mainstream politicians have come to be irrelevant  and are under pressures, they are tuning with the subversives  and enemy agents. In the prevailing situation the first and foremost step is needed to get liberated vast majority of the peace loving people who have been made hostages by the perpetrators of violence, he maintained. Prof. Gupta said that while sorting out the issues of the valley of Kashmir, the problems of Jammu and Ladakh should not lose sight as valley is just a small part of this big State. Above all the permanent settlement of the migrants should be taken care of as lakhs of people have been hounded out from their homes and hearths but for religious bigotry, he stressed.
