JAMMU: Union Minister and Lok Sabha MP, Dr Jitendra Singh on Saturday said that the so-called Autonomy resolution passed by the National Conference-led Government was summarily rejected by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and the rejection meekly accepted by the National Conference leadership without any sign of protest.
“Not only this, even after that, the then Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah continued as Chief Minister while his son Omar Abdullah continued as Union MoS in the Centre,” Dr Singh said while addressing a public rally in Ramnagar tehsil of Udhampur district.
Therefore, he said, even the people in Kashmir valley are no longer ready to take this double-faced jargon seriously, because by now, these Kashmir-centric political parties have earned the dubious reputation of talking autonomy when out of power and speaking just the reverse when in power.
