| "Abdullahs' fled when State was getting injured' | | | early times report
Jammu, Nov 27: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah demanding special economic package for the state said the J&K was injured because of the terrorism to protect the country. However, they didn't add that when the State starting to get injured, Abdullahs' were the first to flee the country.
The State continued to bleed and security personnel continued to lay down their lives, but Abdullahs'-both father and son- were enjoying the power and comforts in Delhi and Mumbai.
It was on their absence from the Kashmir, that former chief minister GM Shah, who was husband of Dr Farooq Abdullah's sister, had said: " The accumulating lava of public disenchantment and disillusionment burst -in the winter of 1989 (blaming Abdullah's for it) . Since then Kashmir has been engulfed by a long and unending winter of gloom and dispondency. The so-called popular Leaders in Government have be become discredited and irrelevant in public eye and are not able to face the public wrath."
Shah had known Abdullahs' personally from very close quarters. His words do carry substance and weight.
Omar, while demanding economic package for the State, should have shown some forthrightness-which he does some time publicy-to tender apology to the State for running from the crucial time.
He, however, didn't but squarely put the onus on the centre.
It was the Centre which brought the state back to rails but putting up in force in containing terrorism.
Thousands of brave security personnel laid down their lives, so that even if the State is injured and ordinarily people died, Abdullahs' are kept in safe.
Omar should have also acknowledged his role in his address to the industrialist. He deliberately choose to ignore it.
It was because of the Centre that elections were held in 1996 against all odds and Dr Farooq Abdullah was brought back as the CM. The same Dr Farooq had not only earlier shown sympathy with the JKLF but was the first to pack his bags when guns started booming.
Omar should have accepted this fact.
