OPINION | The Kashmir Files: Why blame Jagmohan?

India TV News  

National Conference leader and former J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah on Friday made a remark which has reopened the wounds of Kashmiri Pandits who fled the Valley during the Nineties. But I do not think the makers of this movie want the displaced Kashmiri Pandits to return, they want them to always remain outside the valley.”In other words, Omar Abdullah has given a clean chit to his father Farooq Abdullah, who was the chief minister, immediately before Governor’s Rule was imposed. Even the land for rehabilitating Kashmiri Pandits was identified in the Valley, but it was Omar’s party National Conference, which opposed it.Jitendra Singh, Minister in PMO, replied to Omar Abdullah’s charges. In my show ‘Aaj Ki Baat’ on Friday night, we showed a sound bite of Farooq Abdullah speaking to his party workers a few months ago about the deep hatred between Pandits and Muslims.In my show, we also showed an old soundbite of Narendra Modi, nearly eight years ago, when he said, “the manner in which Kashmiri Pandits were identified by their religion and forced to flee the Valley, never happened in the past anywhere in the world.
