| Does Rana accept JK as a disputed territory? | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 26: Last month, the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah referred Justice Sageer's recommendations to a panel headed by the finance minister, Abdul Rahim Rather for consideration. The appointment of Rather as head of the panel has raised many a question. Did Omar ignore his trusted lieutenant, Davinder Rana's love-hate relationship with Rather? Or, did Rana get him appointed as head of the panel? These question's merit serious consideration.
It is an open secret that Rana does not like seniors in the organization. Rather, according to insiders, has been an eye sore for him and so is Sagar. Rama, sources said, exercises influence over the Chief Minister. So, if Rana got Rather appointed as head of the Panel then he has succeeded in pursuing his agenda successfully. Heading the panel will not help Rather in any way.
Forming a Panel at this point of time makes no sense. New Delhi has already nominated interlocutors whose mandate does not exceed the eight point formula of the Home Minister. Unfortunately there is no mention of restoration of autonomy in the formula.
And, if Omar appointed Rather as head of the panel in spite of Rana's resistance, then the Chief Minister has understood the game that his advisor has been playing to cause cracks in the organization for quite some time now. Rana, therefore, needs to do the damage control.
Rana has other problems to address. Omar, Sagar and Rather hail from Kashmir where separatism sells. They are, therefore, supposed to issue highly charged political statements at times to keep their respective constituencies in good humor. Rana cannot afford this luxury. He hails from Jammu where people, by and large stand for total integration of the state with Indian union. Stuff like autonomy makes no sense in Jammu. And when, an organization talks and behaves like separatists in a region where separatism is resented, Rana's options are limited. In the process of promoting his political career, he may spoil his business.
So far Rana has evaded a comment on autonomy and separatist tendencies of National Conference. But some day or the other, Rana will be forced by an enthusiastic scribe to tread the forbidden path. Once this happens, Rana has to choose either business or politics. |
