Srinagar, July 26 ( RNA) : Accusing New Delhi for spreading ‘ fear’ among people in Kashmir Valley, National Conference Vice President and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has said that rumors were being spread by government machinery among People of Kashmir regarding article 35-A and 370 and asked government if it did not believe the Supreme Court of India.
Addressing party workers in Srinagar, the former Chief Minster regretted that a deliberate environment of ‘’fear ‘was being created in Kashmir and said this won’t help anyone.
“Yesterday a news was doing rounds that Police Stations have been told to get satellite phones, JCBs as rumors from establishment are being spread that something big would happen after Aug. 15. I want to ask, why you can’t wait Supreme Court decision. When we say, we hold the SC decision supreme, why can’t you have faith in the apex court.” asked Omar.
“I want to ask the ruler of this state what would you get in creating fear among people. On One side, you claim in Parliament that situation is returning to normal, militancy has gone down, and on the other side, you spread rumors that situation would get worse after Aug.15. I want to tell them that the worst sufferers of any disturbance always remain the people of Kashmir .” Said the former Chief Minster
The junior Abdullah also lashed for what he said- the rumors of trifurcation of the Jammu and Kashmir state and said, if that was done , it would be a division not on regional lines but on ‘“religious lines’.
“Do you want to Prove National Conference wrong for its 1947 decision? Do you want to prove Shar- e- Kashmir’s slogan of Hindu, Muslim, Sikh , Bodh unity wrong. ? Do you want to prove “Two Nation “theory right.” Said Omar.
He also dared Center to hold enquiries against him and his party men and see if “we had done anything wrong.’?
“Whatever we have done was for the benefit of the state. My party men are being threatened. I dare you to do whatever you want. Hold enquiries, make commissions. We are not those who will be scared.” said Omar. RNA
