| Rattled communal NC questions CM Mufti | | Pampore terror attack | | Early Times Report
jammu, June 27: The June 25 gory Pampore terror attack that left eight CRPF jawans dead and about 24 others injured, evoked a strong reaction from PDP president and J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti. She not only said that such attacks were not in the interest of J&K and its people as they hampered the developmental processes, but she also went on to invoke Ramadhan to condemn it. She directly blamed militants for vitiating peace during the holy month of Ramdhan and described it as an un-Islamic act. Pakistan-based and Islamabad-backed Lashkar-e-Toiba claimed the responsibility for the attack.
"It (Pampore attack) is an attack on Jammu and Kashmir's development as such things put the state on black burner… Pampore attack was aimed at subverting peace in the state. Islam doesn't permit such type of attacks, especially in the month of Ramadan," said Mehbooba at the wreath-laying ceremony of jawans at Humhama.
The point is that Mehbooba Mufti condemned the attack in unequivocal terms and charged the radical elements with brining bad name to Islam. Strangely, her condemnation and invocation of Ramdan to condemn the Pampore attack didn't go well with the NC, which in collaboration with the Congress, has been creating one problem after another in Kashmir to pollute its environment and create hatred between the Valley and the rest of the country, including Jammu region.
Instead of appreciating what Mehbooba Mufti said to put things in right perspective, the separatist-turned-NC activist Junaid Mattu took on the CM. He not only registered his party's protest against the CM through a tweet, which read: "So @mehbooba_Mufti has joined the 'Islamic terror' bandwagon after spending years saying terror has no religion. Sad", but also issued a lengthy statement to identify his party with radical Islamists or to gain their sympathy.
"Mehbooba Mufti, while speaking to reporters after the wreath laying ceremony for the CRPF personnel slain in Pampore, has said that she was 'ashamed as a Muslim' over the attack. This is the same Mehbooba Mufti who used to say that terror has no religion. Now suddenly she sees terror as an offshoot of Islam for which Muslims should be ashamed. This is shameful coming from a Chief Minister," NC state spokesperson Junaid Mattu said in a written statement.
Fanatic spokesperson of the rabidly communal NC didn't stop just there. He further said: "While our hearts go out to the families of the slain CRPF personnel, we are shocked at the Chief Minister's continued desperation to jump on the 'Islamic Terror' bandwagon. She is either still trying to prove her loyalty to the RSS and VHP or she has pledged to assail Muslim societies, Muslim countries and Islam as a convenient medium of political empowerment".
It is obvious that the NC spokesperson hinted at the CM's statement in the assembly that she would not allow Kashmir to become Pakistan, Syria and so on where the Muslims kill the Muslims. This statement had rattled all the separatists for the reason that they had been championing the Pakistani cause and working for the state's merger with Pakistan saying Pakistan was the Kashmiri Muslims' natural choice.
By saying what the NC said about the CM and her statement of condemnation of the Pampore attack must expose the NC and its leadership and establish that there is no difference between Geelani & Co and Omar Abdullah & Co. But more than that, what the NC said should clear the doubts of its supporters in Jammu and Ladakh about its so-called secular character. |
