Early Times Report
Jammu, March 5: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah lashed out at opposition mainly PDP for what he said the party’s false and misleading claims with regard to arrests and imposition of PSA on youth of Kashmir. Making a scathing attack he said there was no need for people to come to streets and throw stones for ousting ‘Omar Abdullah’s government’.

Dismissing as false claims made by the opposition parities while speaking on the governor's address Omar said vested interests in Kashmir valley were working towards creating Egypt , Libiya like situations but his government would not allow them to do so. He said that a section of politicians in Kashmir is trying to equate Kashmir situation with Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. “I want to tell them that there is no relation between Kashmir and the situations in these countries. I am an elected Chief Minister …... We need not to come on streets to change the Governments……. We are doing it here with simple pressing of the button of voting machine. I have been elected for six years, my Government has completed the two and we are in process of completing the term. If people would not like us to be in power they will remove us peacefully by the process of democracy”, he said adding that without peoples’ support he will never try to stick to the chair even for a movement Contesting PDP claims on spree of arrests and PSA cases, he presented latest figures to back his claim that his government was not taking repressive measures and filling youth inside the jails.He said a total number of 4064 people were arrested and out of these 3900 were bailed out, 137 cases of PSA were slapped and 32 were withdrawn.” My government has no intentions to harass the youth …….I have infact tied the hands of Police …..given strict directions that innocent should not be touched but legal proceedings shall have to be there against those who have indulged in arson of extensive damage of public property”, he observed.

Taking on PDP he said the main opposition party is surviving on circulating falsehood and indulging in double speaks. “Its Patron when in Government for three consecutive years spoke in favour of Governor’s Address from the Treasury Benches and felt nothing good about separation politics. He has now publically announced that there is no difference between the policy of PDP and that of separatists. We have no objection in his taking U-turn and changing the goals. But PDP should stick to this change. What is it that his highest leader in the party (Muzaffar Hussain Baig) kept no stone unturned in the House today to present Mufti Sahib as the loyalist person of Indian Union holding the Indian Flag high for last 30 years”, Omar said.
“In big public meetings in Srinagar PDP misses no occasion to talk of their league and support to separatist policy and division of the State. But in the indoor meeting with central leaders they speak on oath about their loyalty with Indian Union and its leadership. So much so, its leaders give reference of being brought up in the lap of late Mrs. Indira Gandhi”, Omar ridiculed PDP for this double faced policy aimed to led astray the people. “Such dual standards would ruin the party”, he said adding that those who keep two feet in two different boats fall into the river and nobody saves them from drowning.
“On one hand this party says that it supports the resolution of Parliament about getting back the PoK from the occupation of Pakistan for being the integral part of Jammu and Kashmir State and on the other hand in their Self-Rule document they recognize PoK as a separate entity and talk about good relations with it and exchange of currency”, he pooh-poohed this political duality of PDP.
