NC-Cong coalition Govt disappointing | Last session of Assembly | | Rustam JAMMU, Aug 31: The 6-day session of J&K legislature ended on Friday on expected lines. Most of the parties tried to score brownie points over other by trying to address their constituencies keeping their eyes on the upcoming Assembly elections. The PDP cornered the government and dubbed it as anti-people, anti-Kashmir, incompetent and corrupt. It leveled serious charges against the NC and held it responsible for the mess in the state. The BJP and the Panthers Party repeatedly accused the ruling coalition of not hearing their voice and, hence, they entered the well of the House and staged walkout a number of times. Their important private member's bills were not entertained. Nor did they get satisfactory answers to the questions. Their complaints against the government that they discriminated against the people of Jammu province were ignored and when they protested they were marshaled out of the House. The Congress, as was expected, was neither here nor there. It didn't use even the last session to its advantage. It again played the role B-team of the NC - NC that exploited the Congress to the hilt during the past 5 years and 9 months to weaken its coalition partner and further its own interests. It is a different story that the NC in the process harmed itself as well as its coalition partner. And harmed to the extent that the people across the state decimated them in the Lok Sabha election. Harmed to the extent that even Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad and JKPCC chief Saif-ud-Din Soz didn't muster courage to say they are contesting the Assembly election from this or that constituency. The fact is that the chicken-hearted Congress disappointed not only the people but also its own cadres. And as for the NC, less said the better. Suffice to say, it started its inning in January 2009 very badly and it crossed all the lines on Saturday in its desperate bid to strike chord with its estranged constituency in Kashmir Valley. Omar Abdullah's last speech in the Assembly was nothing but an attempt to emotionally blackmail Kashmiris, further befriend Pakistan and tell his constituency in the Valley that he and his party and other Kashmiri parties and separatists are on the same side as far as their attitude towards India vis-à-vis Pakistan is concerned. All in all, the NC-Congress government wasted all these precious years and months on non-issues and on divisive issues, thus leaving the people of the state in lurch and causing more harm to the nation in Kashmir. |
