Omar says all in Kashmir up in arms, Lone says 5% Politics of convenience 8/21/2016 11:10:16 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Aug 21: Interesting debate is going on in the Kashmir Valley over the quantum of participation of Kashmiri Muslims in the current phase of anti-India unrest. Kashmiri separatists of all hues and the mentor, Pakistan, have been claiming that all the Kashmiri Muslims have revolted against India and they wanted right to self-determination. Significantly, Pakistan and Kashmiri separatists are bring vindicated by opposition leaders like Omar Abdullah of the NC, Ghulam Ahmad Mir of the Congress, Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami of the CPI(M) and also from many from the Congress and the CPI(M) national leaders. They have also been telling New Delhi that the Kashmiri Muslims are not pleased with the Union Government and its policy towards Kashmir and that it would be only desirable if the Union Government started a dialogue process with what they call stakeholders to resolve the "political issue". Only on Saturday, Omar Abdullah claimed that the entire population of Kashmir was involved in the present movement. He claimed this when asked a question that "Peoples Conference Chairman and cabinet Minister in the J&K Government, Sajad Lone, has said that only five percent of Kashmir population was protesting on roads". "If he (Sajad Lone) can go home and spend a day or two in Handwara or Kupwara I will accept what he has said it right," said Omar. The strange thing is that in 2010 the same fellow saw the entire Kashmir in uprising and today he says it is only five percent population and that too manipulated," said Omar Abdullah. It is clear from what Omar Abdullah said that not 5 per cent but the entire population of the Kashmir Valley was protesting on the roads of Kashmir. He is not the working president of the NC. He is also leader of the opposition in the assembly. It was expected of him that he refrained from exaggerating things and helping the government but he has chosen a different path under the premise that by taking a line that he has taken after July 8 his party would restore the ground it lost to the PDP in 2014. He should have endorsed the view of Sajad Lone. After all, Sajad Lone not till so long ago was a separatist. In any case, it is good that the people have started reflecting on the quantum of people's participation in the anti-India movement. Let the central agencies also work on it and file a true story of facts to New Delhi so that it could also formulate its policy and approach accordingly.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
