| Quizzed by ED twice, Abdullah shows two faces! | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 26: Even as the former Chief Minister and National Conference Patron Dr Farooq Abdullah was questioned atleast twice by the Enforcement Directorate in less than a week, he is seemingly showing two faces since.
While Dr Abdullah has been chosen as the head of the so called Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration, the Member Parliament has also started actively participating in government activities.
On one hand, Dr Abdullah has been pledging to seek restoration of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir through protests against the government, but on the other, he is also “hobnobbing” the government. Recently Dr Abdullah attended the district board meeting for district Ganderbal in Kashmir where he is understood to have pledged to support the government activities in the central Kashmir district. Officials said Dr Abdullah attended the meeting as being the concerned Member Parliament.
Sources said Dr Abdullah keenly listened about the development activities taking place in the district.
Sources said at the board meeting not even once did Dr Abdullah speak about his protests against the revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
“He didn’t even talk about the Gupkar Declaration but spent his time as a MP concerned about his constituency,” said a source privy to the meeting.
It is pertinent to mention that the Ganderbal board meeting was held a few days after Dr Abdullah was quizzed twice by the ED.
Outside the offices of Jammu and Kashmir government, Dr Abdullah, sounds like a separatist. “At the meetings related to the Gupkar declarations, he doesn’t even make mention of what he speaks at the government meetings because here he has a different role,” said an official on the condition of anonimity.
Sources said given the quizzing by the ED into the multi-crore cricket scam “Dr Abdullah doesn’t want to offend the government much.”
“And thus he is displaying two faces. One is that of a concerned MP and the other one of a rebel leader,” said a political observer.
Despite repeated attempts Dr Abdullah was not available for comments. |
