JAMMU, Sept 14: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Ministers, bureaucrats and police are under severe attack. Flood-ravaged people, young and old, men and women, are all using very strong language against them.
An old Kashmiri lady on Saturday had dismissed the Omar Abdullah government as "most callous, irresponsible and undesirable" and demanded that "Omar Abdullah must be sent to Kala Paani". "Bureaucrats should be sent to Tihar Jail," said a young angry Kashmiri the same day. He said, "They abandoned the Kashmiri people when their help was needed the most". "Dismiss the Omar government and impose Governor Rule in the state. This notorious and corrupt government has failed us. We do not want this government," said an aged Kashmiri Muslim. "We have no faith in the police. It didn't do anything for us. It has betrayed the people," yet another flood-affected young Kashmiri said. "None of the ministers visited the flood-hit area and listen to our woeful tales. On Saturday, they made a dramatic appearance in New Delhi. It is clear that they had left the Valley soon after the flash floods engulfed the Kashmir Valley.
They cannot be trusted. They are not our representatives," said an agitated young Kashmiri. "Hand over the state to the Army. It and the air force saved us. We are alive because the army saved our lives braving all odds. Let Nerendra Modi take charge of Kashmir. We have lost everything," said yet another badly-led down Kashmiri. Even the visiting Pakistani lawmaker, Ayesa Javed of Muslim League Nawaz, lambasted the state government. "There is no government in the state. It's the army which rescued us. Its role was highly commendable. The Army is rescuing the marooned people," she told reporters in Srinagar. She had all the praise for the Army.
What these flood-ravaged persons said establish that the Omar Abdullah government, bureaucracy and police have lost the people's confidence.
In other words, they stand completely discredited. The fact that some of them demanded that Omar Abdullah be sent to Kala Paani and bureaucrats to Tihar Jail only indicates the extent to which they have fallen from grace and become persona non-grata in the state. What has added more fuel to the fire or rubbed salt on the wounds of the affected people across the state was the irresponsible assertion that he was in full command and that his ministers were doing what was required to be done in this hour of grave crisis. This assertion has infuriated the flood-ravaged and practically uprooted Kashmiri Muslims to the extent that they would never forgive them for what they called "unpardonable sins".
Meanwhile, the clamour for the Governor rule has become quite loud. If, on the one hand, Bhim of Panthers Party today reiterated his demand seeking invocation of section 92 of the state constitution so that the state was brought under the Governor Rule, a senior BJP leader Subramanian Swami demanded President's Rule in the State for one year so that relief and rehabilitation work was done properly. As expected, the Congress opposed the idea of bringing Jammu & Kashmir under the Governor rule, saying the Panthers Party and the BJP were politicizing the tragedy. |
