Early Times Report
Kishtwar, Nov 24: Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursdaydared the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to try and open the schools or shops at the time of the shutdown call given by the separatist.
"Such is the writ of the Government in the Valley that the business establishments, transport, schools and every sphere of activity is running as per weekly protest schedules and calendars", said Omar Abdullah.
He said Mehbooba Mufti should not misrepresent signs of normalcy and activity in the Valley as restoration of normalcy as all such activities were being carried out according to the weekly schedules being issued by Hurriyat leaders.
"Mehbooba Mufti should see writing on the wall and understand that mass discontent is not only due to the complete refusal of the Government to acknowledge the Kashmir issue but also because of the PDP's betrayal to those who voted and supported it during the 2014 elections", the NC President said
Expressing concern over the continued unrest in the Valley for the past over four months and expressing profound grief over the loss of young lives, Omar Abdullah blamed Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for the prolonged political uncertainty and turmoil in the Valley.
"PDP had been blaming me for the 2010 uprising and the tragic loss of lives while they were in the opposition and now by the same logic of culpability she should own up the responsibility of over 90 deaths, blinding of hundreds of boys and girls and injuries to over 10,000 old, young and women", Omar said.
The Working President asked the PDP chief, "What have you done for engaging all stakeholders in the dialogue process or facilitating New Delhi to talk to Pakistan", he asked and referred to the party's 'Agenda of Alliance' with the BJP. "What happened to the promise of releasing political prisoners? Today you have filled all jails with young boys and are issuing more PSA orders than at any time in the recent past, he added.
He also snubbed Chief Minister for ignoring his party in all party talks. He also reminded the PM of his promises made by him with people of Kishtwar at the time of 2014 election rally.
He asked the Government of India to stop threatening Pakistan (referring to army raids) and instead engage in a meaningful dialogue with a neigbouring country. "Kashmir is a political issue and needed a practical and sustainable political solution that could be reached only by engaging all the stakeholders in a meaningful dialogue," he added.
Omar asked New Delhi to "acknowledge the resentment and anguish in the Valley and realize that there is an ocean of mistrust and anger that keeps snowballing into such agitations and mass unrest."
