| Omar's U-turns making CM a laughing stock: PDP | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Aug 30: Advising the Chief Minister to go through his previous statements before issuing a fresh one Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) today said Omar Abdullah's frequent U-turns on important issues are seriously compromising the prestige of the position he is holding.
"We sincerely advise Omar Abdullah to go through his own statements before contradicting them so that the institution of Chief Minister is spared the public ridicule invited against it as a result of his non stop u turns," the party general secretary Mohammad Dilawar Mir said in a statement here today. He said there was a degree of sanctity attached to CM's institution which Omar was compromising through his generally non serious observations that contradict him more than representing a policy of his government on issues of public importance. Referring to the latest statement of the Chief Minister on the interlocutors, Mir said it was a classic case of a political executive getting lost in a 'blunderland' of his own making. He said it was obvious that the Chief Minister did not mean anything that he ever said for or against the interlocutors and seems just shooting in the dark for gaining some relevance on political landscape. But in the process the institutions are becoming a laughing stock, Mir regretted.
Chief minister has described interlocutor's report 'as one of the most exhaustive exercises in the last two decades' and something that could be 'the basis for center-state dialogue' just a day after dismissing the former interlocutors as 'virtual nobodys'. Mir said it was easy to guess the reasons for such a brazen reversal of his position even as his national conference described the exercise as futile on the same day. Mir said it was significant that earlier his party had rejected interlocutor's report because it had ruled out autonomy as a solution to Kashmir issue. "Omar Abdullah has through his childish actions and thoughtless comments reduced himself to a non entity that unfortunately can now be manipulated into make any statement at a tremendous cost to the state he heads", Mir said. Mir said Omar's acrobatics on AFSPA have become a source of embarrassment for the entire state as he keeps setting new deadlines day in and day out. While the chief minister has now claimed that the roll back would 'start in his tenure' on the Independence Day parade, the most solemn state ceremony he clearly said situation was not conducive yet for such a move. Earlier, recalled Mir, Omar had set a timeframe of 2 to 3 days on October 21, last year for revoking the draconian law which he later changed to 'just after the durbar move'. Mir said even when third Durbar move is round the corner the Chief Minister publicly complained that the previous Chief of Army Staff had 'not granted him an appointment' to discuss the issue.
Mir said it is increasingly becoming clear that Jammu and Kashmir is not in safe hands and given Chief Minister's habit of changing his statements so unabashedly the disastrous performance of his government becomes understandable. "This government does not need any enemies with such a Chief Minister as its head", he added. He said it was unfortunate that serious governance had been replaced by casual and often self contradicting sloganeering under the present NC led dispensation and it would take a long and hard effort by people at rebuilding the prestige of state institutions. |
