| Shall CM accept papa's advise or take a bold decision | | Omar wants AFSPA to go, New Delhi wants impunity | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 1: On AFSPA, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is playing safe. Papa has advised him not to take cudgels with New Delhi but he is losing ground to Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) and needs to act fast. He has two options; either to follow Papa's advise like a good boy or take a bold decision. But that may cost him his job.
Any ways, Omar has not been able to hide his concerns. While the campaign continues, Omar gave nod for the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) a Centrally controlled arrangement to fight terror. The four members of NC in the Lok Sabha voted along with the Government in support of NCTC even as a major UPA component Trinamool Congress walked out in protest against the order.
The NC support to the new mechanism evoked severe reaction from various quarters. While some quarters accused it of yet another betrayal, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti said the party that had hoodwinked the people in the name of plebiscite and autonomy for more than six decades had once again come out in its true colors by supporting a measure that further erodes the authority of the States. NCTC will have powers to arrest anyone anywhere without taking State Government into confidence on suspicion of involvement in terror or conduct searches and seizures. Pertinently the new mechanism is opposed by 10 Chief Ministers of the country and many political parties.
The Chief Minister, political experts opine, is involved in a balancing act. He wants to convey the message that his campaign for revocation of AFSPA is notwithstanding, he has extended support to the NCTC.
Omar has also been talking about the Truth and Reconciliatory Commission (TRC). This also is a balancing act. While Omar wants AFSPA to go for political reasons, he ensures that impunity stays there to shield the culprits involved in heinous crimes. He has won many admirers for his stand on AFSPA. However, knowledgeable quarters have criticized Omar for his contradictory views. According to them, Omar wants impunity under AFSPA to go but by talking about Truth and Reconciliatory Commission, he actually intends to confer impunity to the perpetrators in a refined form. |
