| During Gupkar declaration meets, Omar was ‘holidaying in Goa’ | | | ET Report
Jammu, Sept 9: Even as the National Conference claims to be the champion of the so called Gupkar Declaration, former Chief Minister and NC President Omar Abdullah was allegedly “holidaying in Goa” when the so called declaration was being recently refined.
Recently when the NC held two back-to-back- meetings at the residence of NC patron Dr Farooq Abdullah at Gupkar in Srinagar and finally passed the so called Gupkar Declaration II, Omar Abdullah was out of the town.
Sources said Omar had gone out of the state for some “holidaying.” Sources said Omar had actually left Kashmir when the NC called the so called crucial meeting. Sources said even though Omar was supposed to be present for such meetings, he left to meet his friends.
It was reliably learnt the Omar didn’t even contact his father and NC patron Dr Abdullah to know about the developments that unfolded for passing the so called Gukpar Declaration II.
Sources said some of the senior leaders had raised objections over the continued absence of Omar Abdullah from Kashmir when he was needed for political developments.
It was for the second time that Omar was missing from his home Kashmir during lockdown.
The last time when flights had resumed from Kashmir in the last week of May, 2020 Omar was among the first to fly to New Delhi where he stayed for around a month.
Omar had returned with a makeover for having gone for a shave. Earlier on being released from prison, Omar had pledged to sport the beard despite requests from his friends.
But during his visit to Delhi some “friend” had convinced him to go for clean shave.
That time also Omar had missed some of the crucial developments on Kashmir and had preferred to stay back in the national capital with his friends.
This time again Omar was missing from Kashmir when the statement titled so called “Gupkar Declaration II” was issued to the press with NC having led six parties of Jammu and Kashmir including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Indian National Congress, the J&K Peoples Conference (PC), the CPI(M) and the Awami National Conference (ANC) — who vowed to “fight collectively against the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special constitutional status.”
Despite repeated attempts the Abdullahs were not available for comments.
