| Omar compromised on AFSPA, autonomy | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 24: In a series of tweets, the former Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah asked PDP and BJP if they would compromise on some of the key issues like Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), resumption of talks with Pakistan and rights of West Pakistan refugees.
"Who will compromise over the immediate resumption of dialogue with separatists @jkpdp or @BJP4India?" Omar wrote in a series of tweets on micro-blogging site Twitter today.
Omar asked which of the two parties will compromise on the revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from the State.
While BJP has been a strong votary of the controversial act, PDP has been calling for its revocation from the State. While it remains to be seen as to who compromises on what, the coalition rule led by Omar Abdullah definitely compromised on AFSPA and restoration of autonomy.
Omar Abdullah broke all records. First he abandoned AFSPA revocation demand. Then he was asked forget about autonomy and he behaved like a `good boy'.
Three years ago when he talked extensively in revocation of AFSPA, he did not dare to face the people when his demand was turned down. His Law minister, Ali Muhammad Sagar did the explaining on his behalf. "AFSPA will stay there as long as it is needed," he said.
Omar also gave up his autonomy demand. For t here years after, Congress allowed him to continue as Chief Minister, Omar did not demand autonomy. Very feeble voices demanding restoration of autonomy were heard during electioneering in the just concluded assembly elections. |
