Kashmir centric politicians, including Farooq, Omar turn silent | Did they really sign bonds to seek their release? | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 30: After making some noise initially soon after their release, two former chief ministers of Jammu and Kashmir, Dr Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah, have gone into hibernation. An analyst while talking to Early Times said, “Both father and son did not talk anything about abrogation of J&K’s special status and it’s bifurcation into two union territories after they were released from detention. They told everyone that time is not ripe to talk about politics.” He said, “Farooq remained silent but Omar tried to rake up some controversies before turning quiet. It seems that Abdullahs have realized that annoying Centre won’t help their cause and if they make any attempt to flog a dead horse they might end up in trouble.” Referring to another former J&K chief minister, Mehbooba Mufti, who was shifted from government accommodation to her residence at Gupkar in Srinagar, the analyst said, “Her PSA detention has not been quashed and she continues to remain detained. Soon after she was moved to her residence, her daughter Iltija Mufti, had tweeted that her mother won’t remain silent once she is set free. It appears that Mehbooba’s detention is all set to prolong.” Few other leaders like bureaucrat turned politician, Shah Faesal, Ali Mohammad Sagar and some PDP leaders continue to remain under detention. “It looks like that their own parties too have forgotten them,” the analyst added. An observer said, “J&K’s reorganization exposed the myth that Kashmir centric politicians enjoy the support of people. Not a single person came out on streets to seek their release. Farooq and Omar Abdullah have somehow managed to come out and they seem to be in no mood to risk their freedom once again. It seems that the rumours that Abdullahs secured their freedom by signing bonds were true.” The observer said, “It’s not Abdullahs only who have turned silent. All other leaders who were released after remaining in detention too have maintained silence over the political issues. Most of them seem to have accepted the ground reality that J&K’s special status is gone and it’s no point beating their chest to hogg the headlines.” He said, “Changing political scenario in Kashmir is an indication that politics and politicians in the Valley have changed. Once the COVID-19 threat is over one can expect many political surprises.” |
