Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is in on a visit to Jammu & Kashmir state and has again offered to talk to the separatists (should be better known as traitors and instigators of violent activities). This must be the umpteenth time the Congress-led governments at the Center have offered to talk to the traitors and also offered to give concessions - giving a part of India's claims and sovereignty.

The Prime Minister's visit was greeted by the ‘people' of Kashmir with a ‘hartal,' a shut down and also firing on the border and other form of ‘protest.' That even the capital Srinagar is reduced to a hostile area where the National Flag is conspicuous by its absence tells the story of the ‘traitors' and the incompetent government - both in Jammu & Kashmir and New Delhi.

There is a constant sound of bombs, gunfire, stone-pelting, slogan shouting, and demands of ‘freedom' and more concessions, rights and more money. What's in return for the Indian nation? Nothing but trouble, problems, ethnic cleansing, anti-India sentiments, and more Jihadi infiltration from across the borders from Pakistan.

Yet the government of India is soft to terrorists and the separatist traitors, and condescending toward the corrupt and incompetent state government. There must be something extremely dangerous that is brewing about this state that has a rich tradition, history and culture of ancient Hindu (Vedic) wisdom and heritage that is being systematically and ruthlessly destroyed.

Remember, some Congress ministers and other senior Congress leaders rushed to console the families of terrorists and suspected terrorists, some of whom were killed in Delhi and elsewhere. They rarely, if any time, visit the families of Indian soldiers and paramilitary personnel martyred in fighting the nation's enemies.

Now the talk by selfish and corrupt leaders and other vested interests is that the Central government should offer more money, more facilities and more development projects to the state and also more opportunities for those billions to be wasted or pocketed by corrupt leaders and their henchmen. A part of that money from the Indian taxpayer would certainly find its way in the hands of local terrorists, and those supporting terrorists from outside.

There is always an effort to invite outsiders to "help" solve India's problems. Pakistan is always mentioned as one of the parties to solving the "Kashmir problem," ironically a problem created by Pakistan itself. Strange suggestions and insistence, indeed!

Now a report is being circulated by interested parties again that one of the separatist leaders, Mirwaiz wants to invite Saudi Arabia to try and help in solving the problem.

The Indian Express newspaper reported last month that Mirwaiz, the Chairman of the Hurriyat organization (separatist but patronized by the government of India) wants to offer Saudi Arabia the mediator role.

The report, May 17, from Srinagar, said: "with China visit already on cards - Hurriyat Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq will soon be leading a delegation to Saudi Arabia. His mission is to consolidate on the recent visit of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the country early this year by urging the Saudi government to mediate in the resolution of Kashmir dispute."

The report further added that the visit by Mirwaiz will also be about creating awareness in the country on the Kashmiri dimension of the India-Pakistan dispute. To do this, Hurriyat is enlisting the services of office of he Organization of Islamic Countries in Jeddah.

As Organizer magazine wrote: If the report is true it is a serious matter. The Government of India has so far not denied the report. It is not clear at what stage Manmohan Singh has found Mirwaiz -a treacherous agent of Pakistan-sponsored Jihad in Kashmir - a dependable ally of India to represent the country. Has he been inducted as a Special Emissary of the UPA government?

And at what stage has the UPA asked Saudi Arabia to mediate between India and Pakistan on Kashmir? India has always maintained that Kashmir is a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan and that it will not allow any third party intervention.

At the time of the Prime Minister's Saudi visit, the then Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Shashi Tharoor had hinted at enlisting the Saudi role as ‘interlocutor' for peace in Kashmir. This was widely resented across the political spectrum and the government immediately clarified that there was no such agenda.

Now if what Mirwaiz is claiming is true then, Manmohan Singh owes an explanation to the nation. Not only that. It would mean that the claim being made by some Pakistanis that Manmohan Singh is working or has already agreed on major concessions to Pakistan on Kashmir, has to be taken on its face value.

It is not easy to believe that the Prime Minister is so naïve as to assume that he has the mandate to concede to Pakistan what it wants by keeping the nation in the dark. What is more shocking is the UPA establishments' natural camaraderie with the enemies of the nation.

For the last two weeks, Manipur is in turmoil because, the UPA has allowed the secessionist Naga Muivah to freely roam around in the border state inciting communal passion. The fellow should have been in jail for treason, but for the UPA, he is a VVIP. The NSCN(IM) outfit led by T Muivah is waging a terrorist struggle from abroad for a so-called sovereign Naga homeland, including parts of Manipur along with Nagaland and his presence with official patronage has raised many eyebrows.

With the church in the Northeast playing an active role in the Northeast insurgency and the UPA chief Sonia Gandhi's well-known proclivities for the Christian cause in India, it is understandable that Muivah has of late become a frequent visitor to India enjoying a red carpet welcome in the official circuit. His access to the establishment has only vitiated the political scene in the troubled Northeast.

Similar sympathetic voices are often heard from the Congress high command for the Maoist butchers ensconced in the so-called red corridor consisting of Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal. The underground, blood thirsty marauders masquerading as Maoists, Jihadis and insurgents have found extraordinary sympathy, if not covert and overt support, in the Delhi darbar under Manmohan Singh. It is an easy guess whether he is being guided by the Congress President or vice versa.

For the last one week the nation has witnessed the tossing of the four year old Afzal Guru file between the Home Ministry, Delhi Chief Minister's office and the Lt. Governor's office. What is clear is that the UPA is not interested in hanging the terrorist involved in the Parliament attack even eight years after the incident.

On the Mumbai 26/11 convict the tax payer is footing a bill of Rs two lakh per day, which so far has cost over Rs 40 crore (400 million rupees), according to one report. The UPA is not only running a soft state, it is also showing that it is wantonly indulgent towards divisive, insidious elements and woefully indifferent to protecting the nation's integrity and unity. On its first anniversary let the UPA-II clarify its stand on Kashmir, Northeast insurgents, Maoists and terrorists.

When is the Congress-UPA government of India going to wake up to its onerous responsibilities to safeguard the borders, protect the people living inside those borders in various states of India? When will the government take firm steps and defeat the designs of terrorists and their supporters masquerading in the garb of separatists, humanists, liberals, Maoists, Naxals and the like? The sooner wisdom and responsible sense dawn on the government the better it will be for the people - and ultimately for those politicians who are too cozy with traitors. They are, in any case, doomed.
