| Differences within NC over Kitchloo induction in haste | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 22: The state government has jumped the gun by relying on interim report of the judicial commission which had found Sajjad Kitchloo not 'guilty' for the violence in the Kishtwar which left three people dead in August.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said Kitchloo has set an example of principle. Though the commission is yet to give its final report and the main portion is hanging because of the non-responsive attitude of the state police which is headed by Omar himself.
"What was the need for Omar to induct Kitchloo so soon and that too on the basis of the interim report, which itself is being questioned by all. He had jumped the gun and it could prove costly for the NC in the coming election time," said a senior NC leader.
The commission had consistently said that none of the 70 affidavits filed against Kitchloo had been owned by the people who made the statements. This has been reported by a national daily.
But some are suggesting that many affidavits which were filed against the Kitchloo had been deliberately ignored by the Commission.
"It is an allegation now made against the Commission. The BJP is all gunning for it. The commission should now come open with all the facts and let the public know about it," said senior official.
According to reports, there is division within the National Conference over inducting Kitchloo in the Ministry in a hurry. Some NC Ministers hold the view that government should have waited for the full report of commission and people should have debated and then Kitchloo should have been taken in the ministry.
"It's important for the party to send a perception that party stand high on moral integrity and character and abides by the rule. Kitchloo's induction has sent the message that party is in hurry to take him in the Ministry for political gains rather than for abiding by the rules. It will give ammunition to the opposition to target NC which is already on the slippery wicket now," said a senior NC leader. |
