Answer four questions before Titanic sinks | | | Early Times Report srinagar, Oct 1: The death of a ruling National Conference (NC) leader in mysterious circumstances has jolted the ruling party and the administration as relatives blame the chief minister and minister of state for home for the NC leader's death. The first most important question is not whether the deceased died at the camp office of the Chief Minister or at the office of the minister of state for home or whether he died in the custody of the crime branch sleuths. The most important question is to ascertain whether the person died due to natural causes or because of torture and intimidation. It is highly unlikely that the person complained of an upset stomach and actually died of a cardiac arrest. Doctors who know their job do not confuse a stomach pain with that of an impending heart attack. Instead of sending the patient for an ECG, the doctors sent him for a USG as the official statement said, silly if true. Doctors at the police hospital and those who carried out the autopsy said the body had visible torture marks on the neck. This preliminary examination should set aside the heart attack theory. The sooner the truth is told in this mysterious death the better for the state government and the credibility of the Chief Minister. The second most important question is how two NC leaders, one who belongs to the Chief Minister's assembly constituency and till some time also represented the Chief Minister there, and the other an influential NC leader, though of the middle rung, paid Rs. 1.18 crore to the deceased and that too for becoming members of the state legislative council. Are the jobs of the legislators on sale in J&K? Did Mohammad Yusuf Bhat from Ganderbal and Abdul Salam Rishi from Kokernag really believe the deceased could get them berths in legislative council? If they didn't, they would not have coughed up a sum as huge as Rs. 1.18 crores. The third most important question is who were the final beneficiaries of the loot that the deceased had been gathering from everybody including the leaders of the party to which he himself belonged. The fourth question is from where did apparently lower middle class people like Mohammad Yusuf Bhat from Ganderbal and Abdul Salam Rishi from Kokernag lay their hands on a whopping Rs. 1.18 crores? Unless these questions are answered to the complete satisfaction of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of the country, the present government would have lost its democratic and legitimate right to continue in office. Apparently, it has been a free for all situation in which security officers of the Chief Minister, middle rung leaders of his party and God knows who else have been looting the common man. Isn't it worse than a banana republic? |
