| Earlier Kashmiris were Maha Chors, now Kashmir not India's integral part | | Farooq forgets his past rhetoric | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Nov 16: One shouldn't take Farooq Abdullah's statement that he issued on Wednesday seriously. He is the same person who defended Prime Minister Narendra Modi after 2002 Gujurat riots and at another instance termed Kashmiris as Maha Choors.
National Conference (NC) patron Dr Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday said Kashmir never was and never will be an integral part of India.
Addressing party workers, Farooq Abdullah said, "Kashmir is not an integral part of India. New Delhi will never believe Kashmiris and will never accept Kashmir problem," he said.
Meanwhile, as he has been making himself a mere laughing stock, there are instances which, on a serious note describe his split personality. There is no denial of the fact that Abdullah is a master of capriciously drifting in one direction, retrace his steps fast and then swerve to another direction. And get away with it.
In the past, he has gotten away with praise for Narendra Modi, at one point of time defending him soon after the 2002 riots. In 2011, while addressing a gathering in Ahmedabad, Abdullah said he longed for the day when he would see Allah in Modi's eyes. What is more, soon after Afzal Guru was hanged last year, Abdullah said Guru had got a fair trial, overturning his son's outrage over the repugnant execution.
As one New Delhi based News Magazine wrote about Farooq Abdullah: "He can be alternately pro- and anti-New Delhi, traverse seamlessly the distance from allegiance to his religion to commitment to secularism to the praise of the right-wing."
Meanwhile, the statement Dr Farooq issued on Wednesday was to hoodwink public opinion and to manage grabbing some space for his already routed party. As his son witnessed the worst ever defeat during the 2014 polls, NC has been striving since then to regain the lost constituency. In this bid, the party sometimes has been making statements in which separatists are hailed and in other statements, same separatists are being ridiculed.
Last year, on November 28, Farooq Abdullah termed Kashmir as India's part and said POK should be given to Pakistan. "I had told them to keep that part of Kashmir and we will keep this part for resolution of the matter. We will correct the line (LoC) and this will ease travel and trade between people on both sides," Farooq quoted Vajpayee as having told Pakistan during his Lahore visit.
Furthermore, as this year in November Farooq Abdullah has come up with one more mantra to remain in headlines of the news dailies and generate a debate, the fact is that the people on ground have become tired of such theatrics being done by him. |
