The queries sought by National Conference Working President and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah from Hurriyat (G) Chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani on the standoff over a controversial petition on article 35 A in the supreme court of the country are unwanted for the reasons that property rights act governed by article 35 A if scrapped is expected to influence state’s demography. Unlike Good and Service Tax (GST) implemented by the Mehbooba led PDP-BJP coalition government and the property tax proposed and subsequently withdrawn by the previous Omar Abdullah government the controversial petition seeking scrapping of article 35 A would give property rights to non state subject and any order from the supreme court on quashment of article 35 A will automatically facilitate the voting rights to West Pakistan Refugees (WPRs) and all other non state subjects after acquiring property rights in the state. So by all standards of understandabilities the scrapping of article 35 A can change the disputed nature of the Kashmir issue and henceforth the separatists engaged in a political struggle for resolution of Kashmir issue outside the Indian constitution for the last several decades have every reason to show concern over the responses of the central and state governments to the controversial petition against article 35 A.
Unfortunately Omar Abdullah the National Conference Working President and former Chief Minister in his present day role as leader of the opposition in the state assembly is asking questions from his political rivals just for the purposes of his political conveniences but not for respecting the whims and wishes of the people of the state. Omar being one of the few senior most mainstream leaders of the state is expected to show respects to the whims and wishes of the people but not to his own political conveniences.
By all standards of understandabilities it is not just a constitutional issue over which only mainstream political parties need to show concerns but an issue of granting outsiders the rights to acquire the property and henceforth automatically the citizenship. As even naives understand the disastrous influences of any quashment of article 35 A on demography of the state, queries sought by the National Conference President Omar Abdullah a former Chief Minister and the incumbent leader of the opposition in the state assembly from Geelani and other resistance leaders speak volumes about his political maturity, So instead of questioning the stand of Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) particularly Syed Ali Shah Geelani on controversial petition against article 35 A better would it have been for Omar Abdullah to share the concerns Geelani and other resistance leaders have voiced over the influence of quashment of article 35 A on demography of the Jammu & Kashmir the only muslim majority state of the country. Unfortunately Omar Abdullah the National Conference Working President and former Chief Minister in his present day role as leader of the opposition in the state assembly is asking questions from his political rivals just for the purposes of his political conveniences but not for respecting the whims and wishes of the people of the state.
