Centre must come clear on de-radicalisation camps: Tarigami


Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 18 :  CPI(M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami on Saturday demanded that the Union government come clear on the de-radicalisation camps operating in India and alleged that they were "illegal and unconstitutional".

The central government should make it clear where these camps are operating, Tarigami, who is here in connection with the three-day CPI(M) central committee meet, told reporters.

He also said that "radicalisation should not be associated just with one religion and the fact is it is taking place in other religions also".

The Marxist leader was responding to the January 16 disclosure by Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Gen Bipin Rawat that de-radicalisation camps were operating in the country as "it was necessary to isolate people who are completely radicalised".

The General had said girls and boys as young as 10 and 12 years are being radicalised in the Valley, which he described as a matter of concern.

"What the General said goes beyond his brief and the BJP government must clear its stand on the issue", Tarigami, a former MLA from Kulgam said, adding that it was shocking to hear such comments.

Operating such camps is "illegal and unconstitutional" and the Centre must answer where the 400 camps are operating, he said.

"There are already a lot of jails, camps and police stations in Kashmir. Why do you need more concentration camps? If at all there is radicalisation in Kashmir, it is because of disillusionment," Tarigami said.

He said the de-radicalisation camps were completely "un- Indian" and the assumption that they are needed for a "certain age group in one area of the country was clearly a fantasy".

"Whatever unilateral decisions were taken by the Centre on August 5 (2019) is bound to increase disillusionment.

Instead of taking confidence building measures, they are talking about taking boys as young as 10 and 12 years to these camps, which is unfortunate," he said.

Tarigami, who was the first politician to meet the press after the abrogation of Article 370, said the prevailing crisis in Kashmir needs a political response and not deradicalisation camps.

Jammu, Oct 15 (PTI) Senior CPI(M) leader M Y Tarigami Monday alleged that a hate campaign has been unleashed against Kashmiri students in the country and asked the Centre to take steps to ensure their safety outside the state.

He urged the Centre to initiate criminal proceedings against people found guilty of harassing Kashmiri students in different parts of the country and also sought intervention of the state governor Satya Pal Malik to ensure safe and secure environment to Kashmiris outside the state. 

"The harassment of Kashmiri students at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) and in different colleges and educational institutions in Punjab at the behest of communal forces is unacceptable and must be condemned in strongest words as such incidents have serious implications, the CPI(M) leader said in a statement here.

Three Kashmiri students of AMU were booked on sedition charges for allegedly raising "anti-India" slogans and trying to hold a prayer meeting for Hizbul Mujahideen commander Manan Bashir Wani on October 12 (Friday).

Twenty seven-year-old Wani, pursing a PhD course in Allied Geology at the AMU, had quit the university and joined militant ranks in January this year. He was killed in an encounter at Shatgund village in Handwara area of north Kashmir's Kupwara district on Thursday.

"The already prevailing uncertain situation in Kashmir gets compounded by such incidents. AMU incident is not an isolated one against Kashmiris as in the past, similar incidents have happened in various state of the country. 

"It is actually a hate campaign which has been unleashed on Kashmiris outside the state and it has patronage of ruling party in the country, Tarigami alleged.

The Kulgam MLA said thousands of Kashmiri students are studying outside the state and the "atmosphere of hatred against them" has the potential to ruin their career. 

"Students need to be provided with peaceful and secure atmosphere both in and outside educational institutions, he said, adding the state governor must take up the issue of harassment of Kashmiri students with the concerned state governments at the earliest and ensure safe and secure environment for Kashmiri students, businessmen, labourers and others working in various states of the country. 

He said action must be taken against those found involved in intimidating innocent students from Jammu and Kashmir.

Failure to do so will swell anger and further alienate the general masses. The sooner it is done, the better, he said.

Srinagar, Dec 9: Lone CPI(M) MLA Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami on Saturday asked the state government to desist from using force against people demonstrating against US decision to declare Jerusalem as capital of Israel and to shift the American Embassy there from Tel Aviv.
'The protests against Trump administration decision are but natural as it has hurt the sentiments of people across the world. People across the world are protesting against this unjust decision. The J&K government must not use force against the protesters as emotions are very high here, and it doesn't take much to kick things off,” Mr Tarigami said here.
“The recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is an occupied territory by Israel since 1967 and is an outrageous act which saner voices around the world cannot accept. No other country in the world has given recognition to Jerusalem as Israel’s capital,” he said.
He also questioned the BJP-led Central Government's ostensible neutrality and median posturing over the issue. 
“Such a move in the past would have drawn strong condemnation from India. The past governments in New Delhi always consistently supported an independent Palestinian State with East Jerusalem as its capital which is the internationally accepted position. In 1974 India became the first non-Arab state to recognize Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and in 1988, New Delhi was one of the first countries to recognize the State of Palestine,” the CPI(M) MLA said.
However, he said it is for the first time that the government in New Delhi has scrupulously refused to criticize the US decision. “The US decision is condemnable and has drawn worldwide condemnation. Government of India must not affect the image of the country and Modi government must come out strongly disapproving the US action,” he added. UNI
