| Omar a man fighting with his tools: Mehbooba | | "Address issues rather than opponents" | |
EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, June 22:
Terming the chief minister’s comments on the deteriorating situation in the state as insensitive and provocative, Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti has said Omar Abdullah presents the image of a man fighting with his tools.
She was responding to the chief minister’s accusations against his political opponents being involved in fomenting trouble in Srinagar and terming the brutal killing of Javed Ahmed Malla as “suicidal”. Chief Minister is reported in press to have called Javed Ahmed Malla’s death in police firing “suicidal” as he along with others was “trying to set a CRPF vehicle on fire”.
Mehbooba said in blaming Javed for his own killing and at the same time ordering an inquiry the chief minister was clearly showing his inability to come out of his Shopian mindset. “In Shopian tragedy, he started off with the theory of death by drowning and then used state apparatus to deny justice and prove himself right, and today he has repeated the same strategy to cover up broad day killings in the capital city” she pointed out. She said the so called magisterial inquiry is already in fructuous in view of the chief minister’s verdict in favour of the trigger happy forces and hoped the chief minister takes effective measures to prevent almost daily killings on one pretext or other.
The PDP president said in a matter of 18 months Omar Abdullah’s coalition had exposed the state to the worst face of a government both on political and governance fronts. While it was true that the larger political resolution is necessary for long term peace and progress, she said it was important for a government to deliver on governance. People cannot wait for their daily issues to resolve till the final solution of the larger problem is found she added.
Expressing amazement at the chief minister’s lack of understanding of ground realities, Mehbooba said only a naïve ruler could have related the grave situation prevailing in the state with the transfer of a district level police officer. She reminded Omar that his grudging acknowledgement of some officer’s “good performance” during the PDP rule owed itself to the atmosphere of hope and reconciliation generated under Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s leadership which the present government has completely dismantled.
She said with the same administration and officers the PDP in its brief tenure had shown how governments can transform bleak situations into promise and participation if they work above petty personal interests and egos.
In the context of the latest revelations about the killing of two more persons in fake encounters in Machhil, Mehbooba said these had unfortunately proved correct the worst apprehensions about all such incidents. She said the people in Kashmir were on the edge and it seems the government they voted to power has completely surrendered their democratic right to raise the issue or ensure security of the common man. Condemning the murders she reiterated her party’s demand for revocation of AFSPA.
