Omar's final adieu to Jammu? CM not moved enough by misery of border dwellers to consider a visit 8/25/2014 12:37:12 AM Early Times Report Jammu, Aug 24: The chief minister Omar Abdullah has apparently decided to say Jammu a final good-bye. He has not visited any of the border villages affected by the Pakistan for about one-month. The CM had even not issued a strong statement condemning it. It has been about month that the people of the border villages are facing bullets from the Pakistan. Two people including a 10-yr-old boy have been killed and many people have been injured and their homes badly damaged. The females and children with their elders are staying in temporary accommodation. In hot, humid condition not much comfort has been given to them by the administration. The males are sleeping in the bunkers seeing bullets flying past them but are not able to leave their homes along the border as they have to attend the fields and cattle- their earning. It's a situation which could have made any one's heart melt and go with the families affected. But the CM was probably unaware of it. He was first enjoying his vacations in the cool comforts of the England and then rather prefers to stay in cool weather of the Kashmir from the bunglow overlooking Dal Lake. Omar has decided to give up his party National Conference's claim in the Jammu division, from where the party had won six seats in the last elections. The CM it appears is trying to punish Jammu for voting in favour of the BJP, whose leader he had criticized the most in electioneering. Omar who has been rushing to the valley on even the drop of a hat while darbar was in Jammu has made his preferences evidently clear by not visiting the border villages of Jammu where people are facing heavy shelling from Pakistan. Despite his equity claims, he stands exposed on the charge that Omar is the chief minister of the people of the valley alone.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
