"Not God's decision": Omar Abdullah on Amit Shah's Article 370 remark

KNO Correspondent

Budgam, Sep 17 (KNO): National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said that nothing is possible and the verdict given by the Supreme Court on Article 370 abrogation can be overruled by a large bench in future.

Speaking with reporters, as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Omar Abdullah said that nothing is impossible as it was not the decision of God but the people sitting in the Parliament.

Earlier, in a rally in Jammu, Amit Shah had said that Article 370 is a history now and will never be part of India's constitution again.

"Three previous decisions taken by the Supreme Court have been changed by three-judge bench and it also can be changed by the seven-judge bench in future," Omar said.

He added that the Home Minister should focus on the situation in Jammu where terrorism is on rise. "You can blame us for the reasons where we are responsible, but the Centre is directly ruling J&K for the last ten years, now who is responsible for the situation in Jammu," he said—(KNO)

Chatterhama residents protest Long-standing callousness to roads before advent of Winter

Sheikh Imran

Srinagar, Sep 13 (KB): The residents of Chatterhama, a locality in the Srinagar district, have grown increasingly resentful over the un-macadamized roads that have been in disrepair for over a decade.

Locals, as per news agency—Kashmir Bulletin (KB), said that despite repeated appeals and complaints, locals to different government offices have been left with no meaningful progress and finally intend to hold direct action to demand resolution.

The lack of palpable development has exasperated the locals. "We have been waiting for more than a decade for these roads to get proper macadamization. During winter, it becomes even more disastrous as the unmetalled roads turn into muddy bogs, which is almost impassable," they said.

"We have approached each official that crossed our minds-from the Deputy Commissioner's office to various departments-but the responses have always been incomplete,’’ the locals said.

These are deeper concerns for the residents as the harsh winter conditions fast encroach upon them, saying that it will degrade the roads further to unimaginable levels.

"The promises we've received have not translated into action. It seems as though the authorities are indifferent to our plight," said another resident. "All avenues were exhausted and we are left with no option but to hold protests outside the R&B office."

The frustration in the community is not only a disturbance issue but also a reflection of their discontent over larger dissatisfaction with the claims of development by the government.

Locals also said that improvements in basic infrastructure are central to actual progress and development in the region.

"We are constantly told about development and progress, but how can we believe these claims when our fundamental needs-like decent roads-are not being met?" They questioned.

Exasperated by the ever-deteriorating condition of the roads and lack of action from the administration, the residents are planning a protest march to draw the concerned departments' attention to their grievances and push for immediate action.

Skirting and metaling of roads, with winter just knocking at the door, has become all the more urgent, as it reflects the gulf between official promises and grass-root reality.

The condition at Chaterhama represents the greater failure of infrastructure development in parts of Srinagar District and thus questions the role of effective local governance and prioritization of basic services.— (KB)

Omar Abdullah accepts Er Rashid's challenge, Vows to accompany him to Tihar Jail

KB Correspondent

Srinagar, Sep 13 (KB): The challenge sent by Engineer Rashid to Omar Abdullah, chief of the National Conference party seems to have taken a dramatic turn. The latter has come out as promised with the consequences which can erupt a volcano in the political landscape of Kashmir.

Abdullah said he will go to Tihar Jail along with Rashid when the latter steps out of politics.

At Kulgam, while speaking with reporters, as per news agency—Kashmir Bulletin (KB), Abdullah said, "I am accepting the challenge. I will personally go with him when it's time. Let him quit politics." The bold declaration by Abdullah comes in response to the recent statement by Rashid that he would quit politics if the former joins him in the Tihar Jail.

Abdullah's acceptance of the challenge outlines a greater political strategy when he spoke for an 'emphatic defeat' of the BJP in the coming elections. He pledged to redress Article 370 and to ensure the protection of rights in Jammu and Kashmir.

"Our first and foremost agenda is to keep the BJP away from power. There is no ambiguity in the stand of the National Conference that it will not enter into any alliance with the BJP," Abdullah said.

The NC leader also attacked Rashid for his ambiguity over alliances that might be stitched in the future. Abdullah asked why he did not come out categorically against ever aligning with the BJP, adding that if on this issue "Rashid remains mum, there is cause for serious apprehension".

In a larger perspective, the defiance of Abdullah and the utterances that followed are testimonies to uniquely frenetic political maneuvering in J&K as different parties gear up for the imminent elections.

This firm stance by Abdullah and strategic positioning is indicative of how seriously the National Conference is determined to reshape the political narrative in the region and ready to challenge BJP's preeminence.— (KB)
