| Breaking News: Abdullahs no more relevant for Delhi | | All-Party Meet | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 14: What an irony! A party which was once considered Kashmir's premier religio-political organization and which ruled or misruled the state for decades is today not considered fit by New Delhi for an invite or for participation in a crucial meeting on J&K.
The case in point is the All-Party meeting which was held under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi on August 12 at New Delhi to discuss Kashmir unrest and find ways and means to defuse the potentially dangerous situation in the Valley. New Delhi neither invited NC president and former J&K Chief Minister and Union Minister for the meeting nor did it invite the working president of the party and Leader of Opposition in the J&K Legislative Assembly, Omar Abdullah.
The exclusion of the Abdullahs from the very important meeting was not an ordinary development; it was an extraordinary development. It suggested that New Delhi now no more considers the Abdullahs and their outfit, NC, fit for participation in such crucial meetings. In fact, New Delhi sent a message to the votaries of greater autonomy in Kashmir that the Abdullahs have lost their importance and that they are irrelevant.
The Abdullahs are themselves responsible for the state of affairs they are in today. They never played any constructive role throughout their political career; they simply indulged in rabble-rousing and in politics that pit the Kashmiri Muslims against New Delhi and that could help them capture power and retain control over it using all means fair and foul.
That the Abdullahs have become irrelevant in Kashmir and they continue to play negative politics could be seen from the humiliating defeats Farooq Abdullah suffered in the 2014 Lok Sabha election and Omar Abdullah and his uncle Mustafa Kamal lost the 2014 assembly elections. Mustafa Kamal was at number 5 and he lost his security deposit. Leave aside the Omar Abdullah's victory by less than 100 votes from another "safe" constituency. It was no victory; it was a defeat in practical political terms. And that they are playing negative role could be seen from the statements Omar Abdullah have been making after July 8 to further add fuel to the fire in Kashmir.
The Abdullahs would do well to look back to find where they went wrong and why New Delhi doesn't consider them relevant in state politics in general and Kashmir politics in particular. |
