| Now Farooq blames 'neighbour' for trouble in J&K | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Kolkata, Aug 30: True to his blow hot , blow cool style of making statements, former Chief Minister , Dr Farooq Abdullah who has been spitting venom against rival PDP and separatist camp for instigating innocent youth of Kashmir into protests, attributes the unrest to Pakistan as well. Reiterating that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah today squarely blamed a neighbouring country for fomenting trouble in the frontier state.
Taking up the issue of the trouble-torn state on his own after participating in a seminar on "Opportunities and Scope of Renewable Energy in India", the Union minister for new and renewable energy said, ''It is most unfortunate that a number of people, including some disgruntled youths, have been fighting for what they call Azadi without truly knowing the meaning of actual freedom.'' Holding squarely "our immediate neighbour" responsible for the present volatile situation in the picturesque valley,Dr Abdullah, without naming Pakistan,said it was "very unfortunate and tragic that when as many as 64 lives,mostly those of kids,have been lost, some people, taking advantage of the present situation, have been fishing in troubled waters".
Underlining the 'heinous efforts of our neighbour' for long, Dr Abdullah said so far they had launched two separate waves of trouble.
''In the first such wave during 1970s they played a vital role in uprooting the Kashmiri Pundits from the valley and the present volatile situation was the result of their second wave(of fomenting trouble),'' he said.
At the same time Dr Abdullah was confident that this time under no circumstance would they succeed. ''And I am saying this from the bottom of my heart,'' he said.
The former chief minister and National Conference chief, however, was critical of the role of a section of the media in projecting the 'true scenario' of the valley.
''Do not go for most of the newspaper reports about what's happening in Jammu and Kashmir,'' he said and made it clear that his state was "truly an integral part of India as West Bengal is".
Earlier, speaking at the seminar Dr Abdullah made a passionate appeal to young entrepreneurs in the private sector for developing the right and most modern technology to tap the country's vast potential of both solar and wind energy to meet the huge demand for energy.
''While on one hand the deposit of fossil fuel like coal had been dwindling fast, on the other the potential for tapping renewable engery as the main source of energy is gaining momentum,'' he pointed out. |
