JAMMU, Jan 13: YV Sharma today condemned the recent statement of Omar Abdullah, the former Chief Minister of J&K, in which he said that the “Election Commission of India should feel ashamed of not holding elections in J&K which led the Supreme Court of India to issue directions to it for holding elections till 30.09.2024” while passing a judgement on the abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian constitution.
In a statement issued here today, Sharma said that it doesn’t behove former Chief Minister to pass such remarks about the constitutional body like the Election Commission of India which has the reputation of managing & organising elections in the largest democracy of the world in a very fair & fearless manner.
He said that Omar Abdullah will realize that it is not because of the present Government at the centre or that of the UT of J&K but because of the intransigent & unrealistic attitude followed by the political leadership of erstwhile state since the division of the subcontinent.
Their attitude of imposing their superiority, doublespeak – rather triple speak; one in Kashmir, the other in Jammu & the third in Delhi, inciting the people for unattainable mirage of freedom & recently praying for “Chinese intervention for resolving the Kashmir problem” & a constant endeavour to pit one people against other in the name of religion & language that resulted in constant bickering between the erstwhile state & central governments that caused ever increasing chasm & distrust between the two impacting the lives of the gullible people of J&K negatively.
Sharma said that the ground situation in UT has been transformed a lot; people have benefited from the developmental efforts after the abrogation of Article 370.
He assured Omar Abdullah that elections will be held, statehood would be revived, and everything will be done for the welfare, benefit, safety, and security of the territory and the people of this paradise on earth. Let’s all work unitedly for J&K UT and for the country to achieve the aim of welfare for one and all, which is the goal and motto of the Government headed by Narendra Modi.
