The Shah Faesal fiasco and India’s gambit for Kashmir. THREAD
1/ Shah Faesals dad was a small time mukhbir who got caught and met his end whilst working for ADG K Rajendra as part of the security grid. At the same time, Shah Faesal was recruited as India’s deep state mole. As you know, Shah Faesal comes from a family of small time mukhbirs.
2/ This was as part of Operation Sadbhavana which was India’s concerted plan to cultivate mukhbirs and to show to the world model Indian-Kashmiri Muslims. He didn’t even earn the IAS place but was gifted it after agreement by security agencies and MHA.
3/ The BBC interview fiasco can be explained simply. He was to cause as much ruckus as possible so eventually when he came back to the fold India can show him to the world that Kashmiris have reconciled with losing 35a/370 whilst the Kashmir dispute is still pending. It’s worked.
4/ Omar Abdullah will become next CM. He will use statehood restoration and promise to go to court to restore 370. But the BJP already has him on a tight leash. He is very docile now. Domesiticated even by stooge standards.
5/ Mehbooba too also has reached a deal. She will be kept behind bars for longer in order to establish her credibility as the opposition and to give a “voice” to Kashmiris amonghts the mainstream. Hogwash.
5/ Lastly, Modi’s little brother has been denied any role upto now. He is too cheap as a political prostitute for Modi’s liking. Lieutenant Ansari has been begging everywhere to no avail.
