SRINAGAR, July 20: Trying to prove himself as the sympathizer of the people, the general secretary of the National Conference, Ali Mohammad Sagar has advocated revocation of AFSPA, as according to him the time is right for it. Sagar perhaps is unaware that the cabinet committee on security has even scrapped the amendment in the controversial law by the UPA government.
Commoners believe that it is all about the political compulsions as faced by the National Conference that it talks about the revocation of the AFSPA otherwise its leaders have no problems with this law.
The leaders of this party have been lauding the role of the armed forces for bringing peace back to the state.
The general secretary of the NC, as according to the people, is mislead that AFSPA is the threat to the peace and lives of the people. Real threat to the peace and lives of the people, as commoners say, is the impunity enjoyed by the leaders and the workers of the party who don't respect the law of the land.
"Which law does the NC leader want to be scrapped? Does he remember that how a poor fellow was ill treated by the Minister for Higher Education, Mohammad Akbar Lone during an election rally in connection with the Parliamentary elections at Baramulla," said Zahoor Ahmad at Srinagar while talking to Early Times.
Zahoor asked as to what action was taken against the guilty Minister despite the fact that it all happened in full public view and in front of Omar Abdullah, the Chief Minister of the state. As per Zahoor, instead of taking any action against Lone, the CM said that such persons want to highlight themselves in the media.
People say that it is not the only thing that has happened over the last five and half years. According to them the dailies carry one or the other news item about the highhandedness of the leaders and the workers of the party.
"There isn't any department the work of which is not interfered by the workers of the party. Be it the allotment of the tenders or the cases of recruitment, these people have their say, come what may," said a group of youth which was talked to by the Early Times.
It is this particular party, as people say, which sold the water resources of the state to the National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC) and deprived the people of the state to improve their economy. Not only this, the people of the Kashmir were labeled as the 'Maha Chors' by the senior Abdullah.
The people of the Kashmir Valley want to make a point that it is a known fact that the intellectuals of India advocated a fair deal to be given to Mohammad Afzal Guru but the senior Abdullah took lead is saying that, "The person who attacked the Parliament has paid the price for the crime he committed," . |
