Failed, grounded Omar venting frustration against Malik: Suri

25/05/2020

JAMMU, May 24: "National Conference (NC) and People's Democratic Party (PDP) never empowered local bodies as well as Panchayats and continued to rule through centralised powers only. It was NC-Congress regime that deliberately allowed Municipal Corporations and local bodies to lapse and never held polls to them despite making announcements repeatedly. Former CM and dethroned dynast Omar Abdullah himself had lied several times by announcing dates of polls but never held them".
This was stated by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K Executive Member Raman Suri, who added that former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's outburst against former Governor Satya Pal Malik is justified as the latter not only exposed these dynasts but also made them realise that they were mere public representatives and not princes or Kings who looted Jammu and Kashmir and never allowed democratic institutions to flourish here.
Raman Suri said that Omar Abdullah's outburst, "Only naam ka satya not kaam ka.
He never tires of lying. Lied to people of J&K before 5th August & lying now. Hiding behind walls of Raj Bhavan protected from defamation suits so feels emboldened to shoot his mouth off. Let him say all this when he is no longer governor & see" is nothing but frustration. Having promoted separatism, encouraged corruption, looted Central funds, undermined democratic institutions and not held elections to local bodies, leaders like Omar and Mehbooba Mufti are hiding behind walls of Kashmiriyat which they don't know anything about.
People of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh always pinned their hopes in these Dynasts who inherited power from their fathers and forefathers but when it came to delivering, they became inaccessible to common people. Raman suri said that by abusing Satya Pal Malik, Omar Abdullah has shown his class and admitted that he was a failure in delivering, stayed inaccessible and always kept telling lies to people that he will empower common people. He and Mehbooba lied to the core and when it came to participating in polls, they walked away, even snatching the right of their party workers and leaving them in lurch.
National Conference leader Omar Abdullah and PDP leaders deliberately chose not to participate in local body polls, thereby undermining the power of democracy and depriving their own people of opportunity to lead masses. Since these parties always rigged polls, they feared that this time it won't be possible and additionally they had nothing to give to people except false assurances, which is why they backed out from polls, Raman Suri said.
Satya Pal Malik, he added was right in telling that two regional parties had refused to participate in the polls (in Jammu and Kashmir) under Pakistan's pressure.
Raman Suri said that had these novice political scions been serious, they would have delivered. Statements of Omar like, "Ordinarily I wouldn't have replied to his nonsensical drivel but then some people start believing he's telling the truth, I learnt that the hard way with his rubbish, so now I don't take any of his lies lying down" are not only in bad taste but also prove his class.
