Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 22: In political system none can predict what is the next, the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah who is looking forward to be with the President of India during her scheduled visit to the state beginning Thursday has once criticised her after seeing her photograph with AK-47.
Perhaps very few remember that the Chief Minister Omar who alongwith his cabinet ministers is looking forward to host the first lady President wrote on micro blogging social networking site, "Crazy few days with the President in town from Thursday through till Sunday".
Last time when President Prztibha Devi Singh Patil visited the state in May 2008, the Chief Minister Omar had criticised her for posing with the AK 47 rifle during forward area visit along the line of control.
During those days Omar used to write exclusive blogs as chief of National Conference and after army spokesman circulated the pix of President Patil Omar reacted swiftly and gave vent to his ire on noticing the pix of President Brandishing AK 47 rifle.
"The first Citizen should have been seen in photographs with children in some far-flung hamlet rather than "brandishing" the "object that has caused so much death and destruction over the last 18 years" in the state" wrote Omar Abdullah.

Omar had also written in the same blog, "I know she's the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, but the photograph reminded me of a rather forgettable Sylvester Stallone movie - `Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot'".
But now the things had dramatically changed as stated above that nothing can be predicted in politics the Chief Minister is looking forward for the visit of the President Pritibha Singh Patil. After May 28 2009 when former J&K Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, who took oath as Cabinet Minister in New Delhi the things really have turned and the man who once has wrote critically against the First lady is now waiting for her as a good admirer. Be it political intimidation or the else but in fact the circumstances have changed for the an individual who once criticised the first lady on microblog but now is eagerly awaiting for her visit.
