Going against the precedence the former three time former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference President Farooq Abdullah choose to condole Director General Police Dibagh Singh but not the families of slain cops on killing of three policemen in South Kashmir’s Shopian district. Knowing that the pro-freedom shouts by a huge congregation in an attempt to force him to flee from the Eid congregation at Dargah Hazratbal in Srinagar was the sharp reaction of the people of Kashmir against him for raising “ Bharat Mata Ki Jai” shouts at the BJP conclave called for tributing former Prime Minister Attal Bihari Vajpayee in Delhi Farooq Abdullah is not daring to reach out to the people in an atmosphere of anger and chaos in any part of Kashmir. Fact remains the even his party men were not happy with his shouts of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” at the BJP conclave in Delhi called to tribute late Attal Bihari Vajpayee and equally undisputed fact is that the decision to announce boycott of proposed municipal and panchayat elections was imposed on him by his party men as otherwise he had himself publicly hailed the government’s decision of holding municipal and panchayat elections in the state.
Farooq Abdullah calling on state police chief Dilbagh Singh in breach of protocol days after rejection of his demand over deferment of municipal and panchayat elections by both the state and central government is hurting and humiliating for those who held the position of Chief Minister previously in the state but their advices were not taken well the way the advices of former chief ministers are taken in other states of the country. After all the central and state government have not bothered to pay any heed to the demands of three former chief ministers of the state.
Apparently Farooq Abdullah and other mainstream leaders including PDP President and another former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti did not must the courage to move out of their palatial houses to meet the families of slain policemen and console them. Moving out from his highly guarded residence to fortified Police Heaquarters to extend condolences to the Director General Police and not families of slain policemen show the fear of public anger that has panicked the mainstream political leaders in Kashmir. Today Omar Abdullah himself a former chief minister does not bother to tweet on the visit of his father a three time former Chief Minister to Police Headquarter for condoling state police chief on killings of policemen and Omar does not feel that a former three chief minister calling on state police chief is a breach of protocol. Farooq Abdullah calling on state police chief Dilbagh Singh in breach of protocol days after rejection of his demand over deferment of municipal and panchayat elections by both the state and central government is hurting and humiliating for those who held the position of Chief Minister previously in the state but their advices were not taken well the way the advices of former chief ministers are taken in other states of the country.
