EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Jan 16: on October 13, the state government referred Justice Sageer's (Retd) recommendations to a panel headed by a seniormost leader of the party for consideration.The panel was formed in the backdrop of Centre seeking comments of J&K government on the Justice Sahgeer Ahmad's report. The Panel was supposed to submit its report within three months.
The Panel, however, completed three months on January 13. No report has been submitted till date. Surprisingly the Panel was formed when New Delhi had already nominated its interlocutors on Jammu Kashmir. While the Panel has been almost forgotten, the interlocutors submitted a preliminary report to the Home Minister last week. The report has hit hard on Omar autonomy demand, Justice Sageer's recommendations and the Panel. Notwithstanding this, Omar holds the interlocutors in high esteem and urges the separatists to meet them.
Justice Sageer headed one of the working groups formed by the Prime Minister in 2006. The group submitted its report early this year and National Conference considered it a victory. However, the National Conference could not celebrate the `victory' as the first phase of the on-going agitation commenced soon after.In January last year, National Conference patron and union minister for New and Renewable Energy, Dr Farooq Abdullah said the Prime Minster will restore autonomy to Jammu Kashmir after consulting the representatives of all the regions of the state. Addressing media persons at his Gupkar residence, Dr Farooq said New Delhi was seriously considering implementation of Justice Sageer recommendations. "The Chief Minister has taken up the matter with Prime Minister and hopefully the PM will soon consult the representatives of Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir", he said. The former Chief Minister's words are clear. According to him, Omar Abdullah has taken up the matter with the Prime Minister who will consider the recommendations after consulting the people of the state. The people of the state have been consulted by New Delhi's interlocutors. On the basis of their interaction with the people of the state, they submitted a report to the Union Home Minister last week. In this report, the interlocutors have no made any mention of autonomy.
The report of the interlocutors, therefore, has rendered both Justice Sageer's recommendations and the state Panel infructious. Shockingly when the Omar led government was supposed to register protest with New Delhi for causing miscarriage to Sageer's recommendations and the Panel, he is urging the separatists to meet the interlocutors. Has Omar forgotten autonomy as well?
