| Omar's assertion on return of KPs, temple Bill | | NC style of wooing community, feels community | | Et Report
Jammu, Jan 7 : Even as Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah tried to woo Kashmiri Pandits on a couple of issues which are core to the community cause, the style did not impress many organisations nor did they take the fresh assurances on these seriously anymore.
In fact Omar's assertion on return of the community back to their homeland as also passage of Temples and Shrines Bill- a move caught in political controversies, drew flak with many terming this as politics ahead of elections, NC style.
It was in a youth convention at Jammu on Sunday during which Omar made some points which were described by him as pure plainspeaking on certain matters where he intends no politics.
The convention was organised by YAIKS, youth wing of frontal body of the KPs All India Kashmiri Samaj which has a strong base and following in the community not only in Jammu but in other sattes too.
However, Omar presence, his utterings on the KPs and their urge to return back to Kashmir has not augured well with people, who in the social networking sites have disapproved and dismissed his and his party's intentions. Some have even objected the way he was greeted by the hosts in the convention. In his speech Chief minister expressed regret that his government had not been successful in ensuring return of Kashmiri pandits to the valley, and vowed to regenerate a sense of security among them so that they willingly go back to their homes. In an reassuring manner, Omar
Abdullah emphatically made this point that nobody can forcibly take the community back to the Kashmir valley. All that the government can assure that if the community decides to return, the government can provide that sense of security. Virtually having no takers on the move, most of the organisations including those who have been running on this slogan for over two decades have expressed in their reactions in a terse and crypt manner that the community will certainly go back to valley albeit only when Panun Kashmir on the mode of UT shall be carved out and wherein there will be no what they have termed as 'regressive' Article 370, on which NC's politics and political constituency revolves around. As for Chief Minister's assertion on Temple Bill is concerned, the community is not convinced by his theory of vested interests nor the attack which he indirectly made on alliance partner Congress as posing hurldes in passage of the Bill. He has reassured that the bill would again be placed in the Assembly, and those who are opposing it would get exposed. The question, most of the community members put is that if that was so, why NC did not make such a move in the last session when all was set for passage. |
