Not responding to charges would mean Bhim correct | Omar Under Attack | | Early Times Report JAMMU, Jan 8: The PDP, the BJP, the JKNPP and the JSM boycotted the functions organized by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in the civil secretariat the day his coalition government completed three years in office. On the other hand, these non-NC and non-Congress political groups dismissed the Omar Abdullah-led government as anti-people, anti-democratic and corrupt and described as false the claim of the Chief Minister that the state during his regime witnessed developmental activities on an unprecedented scale. However, it was Bhim Singh of the JKNPP who was more severe than anyone else, including the PDP leadership, in his criticisms of Omar Abdullah, had been. Bhim Singh not only ridiculed Omar Abdullah but also leveled serious charges against him exposing what he called the Chief Minister's "lies". In fact, he brought out against Omar Abdullah a very lengthy charge-sheet. The charge-sheet took on the Chief Minister and his government for misusing the taxpayers' money on "huge" adds, entitled "courage…Vision…Dynamism" with half-sized hands waving photographs of the Prime Minister and UPA chairperson and ridiculed Omar Abdullah saying "it looks disgusting that the Chief Minister's father's face stands shut behind the hand of Sonia Gandhi as if Dr Farooq Abdullah has been defaced deliberately". "This is the message of courage, vision and dynamism of the youngest Chief Minister of J&K who has completed three years as Chief Minister walking on the crutches of the Congress Party," the charge-sheet said. The charges as contained in the charge-sheet, coupled with taunts and sarcasm, included (1) "True, Omar Abdullah has shown courage in declaring that J&K was not integral part of the Union of India"; (2) "the Chief Minister had courage to debunk his own father behind Congress President's arm"; (3) "the Chief Minister demonstrated courage and vision to sort out corruption scandal of Rs. 1.18 crores involving himself, his father and the complainants, all affiliated with his political party"; (4) the "Chief Minister certainly has shown courage by dismissing the registration of an FIR even on the mysterious death of his party's senior functionary in custody who was detained on his orders though he had no competence to do so"; (5) the "Chief Minister has demonstrated courage by denouncing AFSPA and declaring that he would remove the Central Law"; (6) the "Chief Minister certainly has shown courage to reduce 50 per cent of the salary of the fresh recruits in the government jobs"; (7) the "Chief Minister had demonstrated courage in Islamabad in 2007 by expressing unconditional apology to Pakistani President on behalf of his late grandfather for having supported the Accession of the State with the Union of India"; (8) the "Chief Minister has demonstrated his vision by befriending the young prince in the Indian National Congress as his permanent ally to support him in all his deeds and misdeeds"; (9) "his dynamism can be witnessed from the fact that he can take the state aircraft and the helicopter along with his family members and even pets to Shimla, Delhi and Mumbai the same day at the cost of the State Exchequer"; (10) "his vision and dynamism can be judged from his studies of the tale of the two cities though he has not understood the spirit and commitment of the people of France who brought revolution there"; (11) "Omar Abdullah has shown his vision and dynamism in manipulating Delhi Darbar and the Home Ministry to shunt the Kashmiri Migrants (mostly Pundits) permanently from the Valley by building gutters for them in the areas inhabited with the snakes and scorpions. Besides, he has demolished the very identity of Jammu Migrants by demonstrating courage to refuse to implement Supreme Court orders relating to Talwara Migrants"; (12) "Omar Abdullah has shown courage, vision and dynamism by befooling the entire Central leadership, including Congress, BJP and the left by rejecting the voice of the people of J&K to hold Delimitation of the Assembly Constituencies"; (13) the "Chief Minister's courage, vision and dynamism cannot be ignored when he declared in the Legislative Assembly to ensure return and rehabilitation of thousands of militants who went to Pakistan for a military training"; (14) "what a vision Omar Abdullah had demonstrated by managing to work as a minister in the BJP government in the Centre having share the broth with RSS for years. What a great dynamism that he shares his broth with Congress Prince and other Congress leaders today"; (15) "what a courage the CM has by proclaiming that he shall complete six years as Chief Minister of J&K even though he has not one-third majority in the Assembly"; and (16) "of course, Omar Abdullah has accomplished his supremacy in the country against all odds. He is Chief Minister of J&K with support of the Congress and BJP when several Members Parliament and leaders in Delhi have been sent to jail for 'cash for vote' whereas in J&K Omar Abdullah purchased 7 BJP MLAs to purchase their votes in the Rajya Sabha and Council elections. BJP instead of taking action against Omar Abdullah, shunted out their own 7 MLAs. Thakur Amar Singh, MP can go to jail for the same offence which Omar Abdullah has committed. Omar is Chief Minister and Amar Singh in jail". Significantly, the Bhim Singh's charge-sheet also reflected on the Chief Minister's impact on the future of the Congress party in the state. It said: "It is his (Omar Abdullah's) vision and dynamism that he has reduced the Congress (his crutches) to ashes in J&K in three years. If he continues for another six months, there will be no trace of the Congress left…in the state. This was the mission of his grandfather who had described State Congress leaders as 'worms in the gutter'. Omar Abdullah has proved it. He certainly has determination to demolish the very identity of the Congress in J&K and join hands with Jamat-e-Islami to accomplish 60 years old agenda of the pro-Pak forces in J&K, of course, with the support and cooperation of the Central leaders" (read Congress leaders). This is a serious charge-sheet. It is not an ordinary charge-sheet. It is something more than that. It must sting him. Omar Abdullah, if he has any self-respect, must respond to what lays embodied in it without losing a single moment to put things in perspective this way or that way. He cannot and must not ignore it. In fact, it was expected that Omar Abdullah would respond yesterday itself, but it did not happen. His silence has the potential of making everybody in the state believe that Bhim Singh's charges against the Chief Minister are well-founded. As for the Congress, there is much in the charge-sheet that must make the Congress leadership sit up immediately and find ways which could help the Congress hold its own in the state. Bhim Singh is to the point when he says that anymore truck with the NC would decimate the Congress party in the state in the next few months. |
