| Omar does a U-turn, opposes PDP-BJP coalition | | Farooq singing a different tune | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 24: The owners of the Kashmir-based and pro-greater autonomy NC, Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah, have, it seems, gone totally confused. They are contradicting each other and making a fool of themselves. They are also exposing their intellectual bankruptcy as well as their insatiable lust for power and pelf.
That they do not discuss things between them and that they take diametrically opposite stands on the same issue and on the same day or that they have lost their way could be seen from what the father and son duo said on Saturday about the government formation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Omar Abdullah tweeted against the PDP-BJP coalition government's possibility and wrote in his tweet that he was against any alliance between the PDP and the BJP. On twitter, he wrote: "it's been 2 weeks since 1.25 crore people of J&K were placed under Central rule because of one party's inability to lead. How much longer? Actually I don't want a PDP/BJP Government. I want an end to the uncertainty. Even elections will be better than this".
Earlier, Omar Abdullah had on occasions said that it was the PDP and the BJP which had got the mandate to administer the affairs of the state and the role of his party was only to sit in the opposition. Even that assertion of Omar Abdullah was highly flawed, as the people of Jammu province had voted not only against the NC and the Congress, but also against the PDP, and the people of Kashmir had voted en-block against the BJP as they had been given to understand by all the Kashmiri parties and separatists like Syed Ali Shah Geelani that the victory of the BJP even in a single assembly constituency in the Valley would cause an irreparable damage to the Kashmiri cause. The fact of the matter is that the 2014 mandate was a mandate for division of Jammu and Kashmir. It's a different story that the BJP ditched Jammu and compromised its ideology for the sake of power.
If Omar Abdullah on Saturday said "I don't want a PDP/BJP Government", his father took a contradictory stand and said that it was for the PDP and the BJP to take a final call on the government formation, as the NC had no mandate to rule the state.
"It was up to the PDP and BJP to end uncertainty on it. The National Conference has already made it clear that it has no number to form the Government. It was up to the PDP and BJP to form next Government in the State and end uncertainty and the Governor's Rule," Farooq Abdullah said while talking o reporters in Jammu on the sidelines of two functions.
Earlier, Farooq Abdullah had hinted at the possibility of a tie-up with the BJP. He had said that the NC would consider formation of government with the BJP if the latter approached it for the same.
The manner in which Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah have been conducting themselves after the demise of Mufti Sayeed only proves that they do not know what they say. What an irony? |
