| Sacked Kamal admits Rahul Gandhi criticism cost him job | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 12: The sacked NC chief spokesman and additional general secretary, Mustafa Kamal has said in an interview in summer capital Srinagar that he should not have spoken against the Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi and admitted that the statement had finally cost him his job.
Not that the confession by Mustafa Kamal is going to win his job back nor is the confession going to make the deteriorating relations between the NC and the Congress any better. Yet the confession by somebody who was designated as the chief spokesman of the ruling party proves the customary casualness with which sensitive inter party issues are being handled between the NC and the Congress. Can the chief spokesman of a ruling party finally admit he made a statement that was uncalled for and unwarranted? The confession proves that not only his utterances against Rahul Gandhi but all other statements made during the last one month or so have been uncalled for and made with the most despicable casualness no political party can ever afford.
Kamal has not only spoken against Rahul Gandhi, but has also spoken against the accession of the state to India and the conduct of the army. He said accession of J&K to India is temporary and also accused the army of being responsible for grenade attacks in the Valley.
That might be funny for a casual comment but the fact that such comments have been made by Kamal in his capacity as the spokesman of the NC merits a rebuttal from the party. The NC must issue a clarification distancing itself from and disowning statements made by Kamal against Rahul Gandhi, accession and the army. It is a matter of record and the record must be set straight. Unless an official statement is issued by the NC denying all the three controversial statements of Kamal which he made as its spokesman, the separatists, the mainstream opposition parties and also those outside the state would be within their rights to quote those statements as official assertions by the NC. |
