Former Hurriyat hardliner joins BJP, signalling shift towards mainstream politics

In a surprising turn of events, Zafar Habib Dar, a once-prominent hardliner associated with the Hurriyat Conference, has made the decision to join the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) in Jammu and Kashmir.

The announcement, made in Srinagar today, marks a significant departure from Dar’s previous affiliations and is being viewed as a positive indication of evolving political dynamics in the region.

Formerly a close aide to Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Dar’s decision to embrace mainstream politics underscores a shifting mindset away from separatism towards a more inclusive and constructive approach.

According to sources within the BJP, Dar’s move is a testament to the transformative leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose vision has ushered in a new era of peace and development in Kashmir.

In light of Dar’s defection, BJP leaders have emphasized the closing chapter of separatist ideologies in the region, highlighting a growing acceptance of mainstream political discourse and a rejection of divisive agendas.

This development is being heralded as a step towards fostering harmony, progress, and individual welfare in Kashmir, signaling a departure from the divisive politics of the past towards a future defined by unity and prosperity.
