Radicalism in valley sown by NC-Congress: Prof Gupta Says Farooq Abdullah must be with Kashmiris in crisis 8/22/2016 10:50:53 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Aug 22: Taking strong exception to the controversial statements being misled by the former Chief Minister Dr. Farooq Abdullah from London, the Former Union Minister Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta said that it was the moral duty of the NC Leader to be with people in Kashmir at this time of crisis, which is of course the outcome of religious bigotry being fueled from across the borders. According to press release, Prof Gupta said that it was very unfortunate that Dr. Abdullah is confining just to the statements and instead of asking his men to contribute their might for restoration of peace. "It seems strange that Dr. Farooq Abdullah and his National Conference had adopted a similar approach like that of early nineties when the ultras had created almost similar havoc in Kashmir and he stayed away abroad till 1996 Assembly elections", Gupta said. He asked Dr. Farooq Abdullah and his fellow travelers that why they did not find a political solution to the so called Kashmir tangle, when he and his Congress colleagues were in Power for so many years. Instead of working for restoration of peace and get the peace loving Kashmiris from the clutches of zealots who are treating them like hostages, He added. Prof.Gupta recalled that the extremism is the creation of both that of National Conference and Congress, who had been having hate and love relationship during all the past decades. In this regard he alleged that the seeds of radicalism in Kashmir were sown by the Congress itself. In late sixties when the estranged Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah and his colleagues were out against the Congress and had given a call of "Tark-e-Mawalat" (social boycott) of the Congressmen by dubbing them as "Insects Of Dirty Lanes". The Congress leadership to meet the challenge of Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah had manipulated the emergence of "Jamat-e -Islami" and some such like elements were pampered. It was in 1972 Assembly elections this very " JAMAT-E-ISLAMI" contested the Assembly elections and for the first time they got five members including Syed Ali Shah Geelani elected to the Legislative Assembly. The Sheikh and his men had boycotted this election also, but it is a different story that Sheikh Mohd. Abdullah resumed power with the support of the Congress in wake of 1975 Sheikh-Indra Accord, although the National Conference had not a single member in that Assembly.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
