| Ignorant Kamaal says autonomy if JK's right | | When was NC serious about it? | | Early Times Report
srinagar, Feb 21: After remaining silent for quite some time, the controversial Additional general secretary of National Conference (NC), Dr Mustafa Kamaal has said India has to choose between restoration of autonomy or total independence. "If New Delhi does not restore autonomy now, it will be forced to grant freedom to the people of Jammu Kashmir in the future", he said with authority.
Kamaal's critics believe only militants talk in such language. According to them, after accepting to remit autonomy to the Principals in the 1975 Accord, NC has never shown seriousness in restoration of autonomy. "Dr Farooq enjoyed overwhelming majority in 1996 Government. He could have introduced a bill for autonomy and managed to get it approved easily. But he chose to pass a resolution thus proving that the autonomy slogan was only an eye wash", they said.
Kamaal seems totally unaware of the ground situation. Autonomy is not an issue in Kashmir. The Jammu people hate the very word and Ladakh has already got it.
He said there were some reliable and broadminded people in New Delhi who feel the pain and aspirations of people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Taking a dig at Congress, Kamaal said there was no discipline and accountability in Congress. While JKPCC chief will respond to this, Kamaal must know that vital decisions in the NC are still taken by the `kitchen Cabinet'.
On the newly created `Third Front' Kamaal said it was basically a pressure group to oppose the policies of the National Conference. "Anybody can form a group in Congress", he said.
However, while talking about discipline, Kamaal forgot his own misadventures. Time and again he has been told by the leadership to keep his mouth shut. His uncalled for statements cost him the post of spokesperson of the party. In 2012 he had to tender an apology for his controversial statements in Kishtwar. |
