Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 19: Enforcement Directorate attaching the properties of National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah in Kashmir and Jammu regions in connection with the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) scam is an indication that no one will be spared.
An analyst while talking to Early Times said, “Action against Farooq Abdullah should serve as an eye opener for those people who used to be under the misconception that they are above the law and no one can touch them.”
He said, “Message is clear that whoever has accumulated wealth disproportionate to his sources of income will be held accountable.”
An observer said, “During the past 70-years the people who ruled J&K sold illusions and dreams to the masses. Their only aim used to be power and once they used to get it they left no opportunity to misuse it to fill their own coffers.”
He said, “Political dispensations that ruled Jammu and Kashmir in the past never opened the cases of the leaders of the opposition parties. It was a sort of tacit understanding these political parties had entered into. Since the day Jammu and Kashmir has turned into a union territory the situation has changed, the Centre is looking into all the aspects that were ignored by the past regimes.”
Another analyst said that anti-graft agencies getting more teeth has brought many such cases to fore that were pushed under the carpet and slowly the skeletons are tumbling out of the cupboard. “Hilal Rather, son of the former J&K Finance Minister and senior National Conference leader Abdul Rahim Rather, continues to be in prison for his alleged involvement in JK Bank loan scam. There are many other big names who have been nailed since 2018, when the PDP led coalition government collapsed in J&K,” he added.
The analyst said, “NC president, Dr Farooq Abdullah, will have to fight a long legal battle to get himself cleared. He will have to prove that the properties acquired by him were not disproportionate to his sources of income.” |
