Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 14: Even as there was an alignment of mainstream political forces in the state over the killing of NC worker Syed Yousuf in taking head on Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and NC, the separatists for at least a week remained mute spectators . They did not utter anything over the layers of corruption that were unfolded over passage of time. It was only when PDP took to the issue to streets after reverberating it in the Assembly, some separatists broke their silence and trained their guns on chief minister Omar Abdullah and his ruling regime.
Ironically enough, the separatists in both moderate as well as hardliner camp who are otherwise vocal and prompt in reacting over such incidents chose to remain silent when the mainstream opposition parties kept government on tenterhooks , cornering the latter on many fronts. Even more surprising is the fact that even after breaking their silence over the custodial death of Syed Muhammad Yousuf, they did not hit Chief Minister and NC in a harsh manner as targets of the controversy, but criticised the mainstream parties and asked the reason for their silence on the killing of over 110 youth in the 2010 unrest, mass graves and custodial disappearances if they were condemning the NC worker's killing.
Instead of taking on NC and Chief Minister his colleagues and his father who remained under fire for several days from the opposition, the separatists in a strategic manner hit out at PDP in particular and other mainstream parties in general as to why they did not rake the incidents to hilt in Assembly when over 100 lives were lost during last year's unrest in Valley. Even from the separatists camp, it was JKLF chairman Yasin Malik first to break the silence over the incident that rocked the political corridors for over a week . But his comments were seen as something in normal tone and tenor in contrast to rage within mainstream opposition camp.
Hurriyat hawk Syed Ali Shah Geelani, did term the incident a "gruesome crime" and described it as condemnable irrespective of the political affiliations of the victim, but the reaction was too late to get accommodated in the political storm that had already hit the target. However, it is the silence of moderate separatists leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, which is still conspicuous, also in the wake of the fact that it was only Omar Farooq among the young separatists leaders who has been showing a lot of concern over growing corruption in the state, particularly in the government, as also the political corruption, which had been termed as having taken ugly and filthy proportions.
