Euro MPs in Srinagar Subhani was a sorry spectacle he Kashmir Valley’s residents may wonder why the Narendra Modi government bothered sending a group of members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to Srinagar on Tuesday if the MEPs Twouldn’t be allowed to meet ordinary folk, and merely take shikara rides on Dal Lake, and attend a military briefing. The likely truth is that the handpicked MEPs (it must be stressed that it was not a European Parliament delegation) got their crucial briefing and imparting of the official line in New Delhi on Monday. Srinagar was just for the joyride and to grab the dateline. The exercise was shabby from the start. An NGO no one has heard of played host. And yet, the vice-president of India, the PM, the external affairs minister and the national security adviser fawned on this gaggle of foreigners, whose distinguishing feature was that they mostly belong to far-right parties (subscribing to ideologies that discriminate on the basis of religion or colour) and were not above cadging a trip to picturesque Kashmir. It will be interesting to see on what octave they sing their paean LETTERS of praise. It is not even clear if the NGO in question had the wherewithal to host 27 European guests.
