Farooq should sack Omar for hurting Hindu sentiments, supporting Rashid | The beef debate | | Early Times Report JAMMU, Oct 15: NC president and former J&K CM Farooq Abdullah, who on Wednesday said in Jammu that "cow is considered by the Hindus as a sacred animal and Mata and their religious sentiments must not be hurt" by anyone, needs to expel his son and former CM Omar Abdullah to prove that he really meant what he said about the ongoing fierce debate on cow killing and beef eating. If he doesn't act against Omar Abdullah, his statement would be construed as a hollow and mischievous attempt at hoodwinking the already hurt Hindu community. If he sincerely meant what he said he has no other option but to expel his son from the party to assuage the hurt feelings of the Hindu community. Farooq Abdullah must not only expel Omar Abdullah from the NC to prove that he really meant what he said, he should also show the door to Ali Mohammad Sagar. It was NC general secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar, who had moved a private member's bill in the assembly that sought revocation of Sections 298 A, B, C and D of the age-old Ranbir Dand Bidhi (RDB) that ban cow killing and beef eating in the state, saying these laws constituted an interference in the religious affairs of the Muslim community. And it was Omar Abdullah, who had not only insisted on a debate on the NC's private member's bill on cow killing and beef eating, but also, like all Kashmir legislators, sided with independent MLA from Kashmir Engineer Rashid, who willfully committed an act of sacrilege at the MLA Hostel, Srinagar, by hosting beef party to his Muslim guests. Not just this, Omar Abdullah had declared in and outside the assembly that since J&K was a Muslim-majority state, the majority community in the state must be allowed to eat what it wanted. "If the Hindu majority states could ban meat on certain occasions, the majority community in the state also has the right to what it wanted," he had said. Besides, he and his other party colleagues in the assembly had created scene a number of times on the floor of the house and sat on dharna on the beef issue. The fact of the matter is that Omar Abdullah had proved by his words and actions in and outside the assembly that he was rabidly anti-Hindu and that the NC stood for a regime that imposes the bill of the majority community on the minority community. |
