Unmasking the Puppeteer of Kashmir's Political Theater:Abdul Majid Khan
Amidst the serene valleys of Kashmir,where tumult simmers akin to a whirlwind in a teapot,emerges Abdul Majid Khan,the Minister of Finance for #AJK.Drawn like a moth to the blazing beacon of political power,
Khan twirls into the spotlight, weaving his rhetoric to suit his vested interests.His recent bombastic proclamation, extolling the hopes of occupied Kashmir resting on the "robust and steadfast" government of #AJK, exudes political opportunism steeped in a brew of delusion.
Yet Khan's pretense to don the mantle of Kashmir's savior collapses like a stale chapati. The Kashmiri populace, familiar with the bitter taste of unfulfilled promises and hollow gestures, scoffs at his empty words.
In the intricate tapestry of Kashmiri politics, Khan orchestrates his ascent to power with the finesse of a seasoned player, always entwined in the game, his moves masked by deceit and hypocrisy. Like a puppeteer with strings unseen, he maneuvers through the shadows, weaving a
web of manipulation to secure his position, all the while betraying the trust of those he claims to represent.
His entanglement in Azad Kashmir's perpetually shifting political terrain, where administrations ebb and flow like the tides, lays bare his true colors. Khan's loyalty
lies not with the people he purports to represent, but with the alluring mirage of power on the distant horizon. His assertion that "political destabilization" in Azad Kashmir would signify the death knell for the Kashmiri cause is as believable as a snake vowing not to bite.
The political tumult he refers to encompasses any potential vote of no confidence against the government. Regardless of the feasibility of such an occurrence, Khan's genuine concern is not for the plight of the Kashmiri people, but for the stability of his own perch.
Khan's claim that the current government is effectively highlighting the Kashmir cause is not only false but also insulting to those who have sacrificed their lives for the Kashmiri struggle. Regardless of the administration in power, including those in which Khan has served
since 2006, the Kashmir cause has often taken a backseat to political expediency.
Like a skilled illusionist, he brandishes the banner of false sympathy for the valley's denizens while padding his pockets with political capital for personal gain. Peeling back the layers of
Khan's political scheming reveals a tale of deceit and skullduggery reminiscent of a Shakespearean tragedy. Between 2008 and 2011, amidst the backdrop of anti-India protests and mass unrest in the Kashmir Valley, Khan adopted the role of the silent observer, watching the chaos
unfold from the safety of his ivory tower. While the blood of Kashmiris flowed like a river, Khan busied himself with what he now labels as political destabilization, engaging in the Machiavellian game of political maneuvering by orchestrating votes of no confidence against
three administrations to advance his own agenda. This blatant exhibition of his self-serving motives behind the faΓ§ade of political destabilization exposes his hypocrisy.His assertion of being the vanguard of the Kashmiri cause is as absurd as a chicken professing to be a peacock
.
Now, let us fast-forward to recent events. The year 2016 stands as a somber chapter in Kashmir's history. The martyrdom of Burhan Wani, an emblem of resistance against Indian oppression, sent shockwaves through the valley, igniting a conflagration of protests and unrest.
While Kashmir smoldered, Khan remained conspicuously silent, his voice drowned out by the anguish of his people. And then we arrive at the pivotal moment of 2019, a year etched in Kashmir's annals as a period of betrayal and silence. With India's unilateral revocation of
Kashmir's special status, Khan's silence spoke volumes about his complicity in the subjugation of his own people. While Kashmiris endured the brutality of Indian security forces, Khan chose to bury his head in the sand, hoping the storm would subside without disturbing his
comfortable slumber.
As India deployed lethal weapons in border areas, including cluster bombs, mortars, and artillery, Khan and his political allies looked the other way, complicit in the bloodshed unfolding on their doorstep. The failure of Azad Kashmir's successive
governments to document these atrocities speaks volumes about the depth of their hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy.
Let us not forget the period from 2021 to 2023, during which three administrations changed in Azad Kashmir, with Khan's being minister in each regime. Abdul Majid
Khan's actions epitomize the hypocrisy and opportunism that have besieged Kashmiri politics for decades. Like a wolf donning sheep's clothing, Khan preys on the aspirations and dreams of his people, exploiting their suffering as a stepping stone to advance his own ambitions.
However, the Kashmiri people are not naive; they see through Khan's charade and discern him for what he truly is β€” a self-serving politician with a heart as cold as the Himalayan snows.
Oh, but let us not overlook two glaring realities: firstly, his concern for the people of
Kashmir is as genuine as a politician's pledge during election season; and secondly, his clamor for political destabilization, conveniently disregarding his own penchant for stirring up turmoil, is as convincing as a fish peddling swimming lessons.
When will their insatiable appetite for blood cease, even if it's their own people they dine upon?
