Whosoever decided that release of the taped conversation between slain militant leader Burhan Wani of Hizb-ul-Mujahadeen and Pakistan based Lashkar’s founding chief Hafiz Saeed to expose the Pakistan hand has done more damage than good to Kashmir situation .
Although it is normal to release such conversations in India and other parts of the world to serve a point that how the foreign forces were involved in denting the national authority . In this case, it also has been done to prove that the whole militancy in Kashmir is aided and abetted by Pakistan even when the local faces are in the front .
The contents of conversation suggests that it is the first conversation in which neither side gives any preliminary introduction , making it clear that both of them were familiar with each other. Burhan’s stressing all along that enemy has to be ousted, “and Hafiz Saeed offers all support to Kashmiri militants and blessings in regard to arms, ammunition and cooperation in their joint fight against the enemy.” The enemy for both of them is India.
Perhaps, the underlined thought behind the conversation held days before the killing of Burhan, indicates that the social media warrior and the real terror mastermind in Pakistan were on a path to inflict major losses on India by their joint subversive activities . But then this is three-decade old story in Kashmir .
The timing of releasing of the video is extremely bad . In December, the people in Kashmir have started waling out of the siege of shutdowns and protests , which were pegged to the killing of Burhan on July 8 . Burhan was beginning to fade as one of the militants in Kashmir , though his killing became a trigger for live wire ammunition of unrest that had been piling up for months together because of the anti-India narrative plus the groundswell of the local grievances of shortage of water, power, bad roads to the joblessness.
After having suffered for five months from the forbidding restrictions , the people had started asking themselves in whispers and even loudly , “was it worth protesting against the death of a militant who any case was destined to die after he picked up gun? Has this suffering, sacrifice of lives, limbs, vision of youngsters and crippled economy and education brought them any closer to the promised “ freedom” by separatists . In their introspection, they have found the answer in negative .
The broadcast has riveted the attention of the people toward Burhan and his mission which had the backing of the deadliest of the terror groups Lashkar-e-Toiba would infuse a new life into the insurgency that had gone dormant because of the people breaking the norm of shutdowns and protests . This will encourage the radical elements and the underlying spirit of resistance will be back again with a big bang.
