Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Mar 25: The former ruling party of Jammu and Kashmir State, National Conference, which keeps on beating the trumpet of truth and transparency hard, has indeed misguided the people of state since decades by pseudo names and pseudo date of births.
Noted historian and senior NC leader Mohammad Yusuf Taing revealed much earlier that December 5 is not the actual birth date of National Conference founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and that Sheikh was actually born on January 29 and his year of birth was 1903 and not 1905 as mentioned in the official records. Much to the disappointment of the people of the state, the date entry was not changed by the Omar Abdullah led coalition government in the state rather JK continues to have a state wide holiday on December 5 every year- marking the birth anniversary of the NC founder.
Taing has worked as a literary assistant to Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah during the compilation of latter's book Aatsih-e-chinar. He made the revelations three years earlier that he has done an 'extensive' research on the subject and that Sheikh has not mentioned his birth date as December 5 in his autobiography.
"I argued with Sheikh Sahib about this issue and told him that December 5 is not his actual date of birth as per his research. Sheikh Sahib admitted that his elder brother may have registered his wrong birth date and not the actual year of birth," said Taing.
Astonishingly, the state government paid no heed to such vital revelations, rather turned blind eye towards guiding people of JK in a right direction.
Experts believe that observing December 5 as a state holiday is in no way justified when Shiekh Mohammad Abdullah himself did not know when he was actually born. Though NC leader Mohammad Yosuf Taing has claimed Sheikh was born on January 29, 1903, official records in the state are adamant to mention NC founder's birth date as December 5, 1905- subtracting two years from Sheikh Abdullah's age.
"This important fact in no way can be bundled as some useless piece of information. The next generation of the state of Jammu and Kashmir has every right to know and read the accurate history. If NC is hiding such an important piece of history, how such a party could be trusted by the people," says one of the research scholars wishing not to be named.
Another aspect about the party which is widely being discussed on social media is the name of the former chief minister and NC's working President Omar Abdullah. It is being discussed in detail that how come the name of the person be followed by the name of the grandfather and not the father itself? Pertinently, normal vogue worldwide is that either a person can mention his cast before or after his name or the name of his father. Omar has not even mentioned his caste, which is Sheikh, in his name. He has even skipped the name of his father Dr Farooq Abdullah and directly preferred the name of his grandfather and NC founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah.
Omar perhaps likes to be called Omar Abdullah as people associate him with his grandfather, says one of the NC men.
"Truth is that the National Conference continues to fire from the shoulders of Sheikh Abdullah and has no new policy to lure people. It is probably in JK the first example that a person can change his name to remain dearer to masses," says Aqib Ramzan, a student of political sciences. |
