I think it is time to declare Emergency in Kashmir Valley as both the internal disturbances and the anti-national activities are at its worst in the Valley. In the wake of hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani's call to parents not to send their wards to schools and colleges, it is clear that a section of the Muslim leaders in the Valley are hell bent to stop return of normalcy.
All that they wanted is to fish in the troubled waters as that suits their designs.
Remaining shut for more than three months, schools in Kashmir Valley have reopened today, with students and teachers given a free passage by security forces despite curfew and restrictions in many parts.
It is clear that the diktats of the Muslim terrorist leaders like Geelani had its impact, as the attendance is reported to be very thin. The entire education system in the valley had become a collateral damage in the ongoing unrest, which began on June 11 with the killing of a 17-year-old student in police tear smoke shelling.
While the tate government had pressed a fleet of state road transport corporation buses into service for the smooth functioning of schools, Geelani had on Sunday said, "No right thinking person can deny the importance of education in society, but to think that they (government) are concerned about the future of our children is like a mad man's dream".
Beside,s he had appealed to people to strictly observe the civil curfew when schools and colleges would resume their normal functioning in the Valley. The separatist leader also appealed to teachers and the non-teaching staff to stay at home. In view of the diktat issued by Geelani, many private schools decided to adopt a wait and watch strategy as they are watching how government schools are functioning.
If the hardline Muslim leaders are once again putting in spoke in the government's efforts to bring back normalcy, I am of the firm view that Internal Emergency should be declared in Kashmir and all those who open mouth against the country should be jailed. Enough is enough.
