Centre has done nothing for Kashmir: Omar Abdullah

Hindustan Times  

Omar Abdullah, 48, is very active on social media, where he often demonstrates his understanding of the political mood in volatile Jammu and Kashmir. Abdullah spoke to Ramesh Vinayak at his Gupkar Road residence in Srinagar about the state’s special status, the Modi government’s Kashmir policy, being a minority in India today, and Rahul Gandhi’s attempts to build a national alternative for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The appointment of a political governor and holding local elections are seen as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day speech to revive grassroots politics in J&K. Also, with the country heading for four crucial state assembly elections later this year, followed by the Lok Sabha polls next year, there is no political capital available for a meaningful initiative on Kashmir. By the same logic, why doesn’t the BJP declare its chief ministerial face every time it contests state elections?
