| Delhi in no mood to listen | | | Recent government decision to extend the PSA detention of Mehbooba Mufti, Ali Mohammad Sagar and others has apparently left former chief minister of the erstwhile J&K State and National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah bewildered.
He wants New Delhi to make friends in Kashmir. Is he the same Omar Abdullah, who till last year used to swear by J&K’s special status that has been scrapped? He appears to be a changed man.
Since the day Omar has been released, he has maintained silence over the political issues. He has made all possible attempts to convey it to the Centre that his party is in no mood to flog the dead horse, but there seems to be no response coming from the other side.
It appears that Delhi has decided to sideline Omar and his party and give new faces a chance. The National Conference no more seems to be an option. The chapter of the parties which ruled J&K in the past seems to have been closed. These parties will have to work very hard to assure the Centre that they won’t indulge in any such activity which could prove detrimental towards the national interests.
The Peoples Democratic Party, which shared power with the Bharatiya Janata Party in Jammu and Kashmir for more than three years, has become a history with its president and former J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti serving a detention, which is getting extended with each passing day.
Political parties, which were invincible till the recent past, have become irrelevant and are struggling to survive. Omar expressing his willingness to cooperate with Centre is an indication that he somehow wants to come closer to the power corridors in New Delhi. He (Omar) seems to have realized that his party is in a disarray as most of the grassroot workers have already said goodbye to him and the National Conference.
The NC leaders, who used to be the face of the party, are nowhere to be seen. They have gone into an oblivion to save themselves from ending up in any sort of trouble. People who have been claiming that NC has not disintegrated like PDP are ignoring a basic fact that the NC has turned hollow from within. Kashmir centric parties and leaders are at the verge of becoming a history. Their future seems bleak and after the COVID-19 ends politics in the newly carved out Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir will be altogether a different ball game. |
