National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah on Wednesday alleged that Baramulla Parliamentarian Er Rashid was aware in 2018 that the government intended to revoke Article 370 but chose to remain silent instead of taking legal action.

Speaking at a public rally, Omar accused the Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) chief of playing emotional politics and being tasked by the Government of India (GoI) to manipulate the people of Kashmir.

“It’s strange that Er Rashid, in recent interviews, claimed he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi for an hour, during which Modi asked him to help in scrapping Article 370. Rashid responded by saying he supported Modi in all his good decisions,” he said.

The former chief minister added, “Had he (Er Rashid) raised the issue in 2018, legal steps could have been taken to fight against the move. He could have moved to the Supreme Court. Perhaps there might have been a verdict that would have saved Kashmir’s special status, flag, and constitution. But he remained quiet, and now, in 2019, the people are suffering.”

Quoting a famous phrase, the NC leader said, “Lamhoon Ne Khataa Ki, Sadiyoon Ne Saza Paayi” (A mistake made in moments is punished for centuries).” He further accused Rashid of being assigned by the central government to manipulate the emotions of the people and divide votes in Kashmir.

“Er Rashid claims to further the Hurriyat’s agenda, but his words and actions tell a different story. He aligns himself with those who dismantle Hurriyat’s identity, and with individuals like Sandeep Mawa, who publicly brief the press while awaiting Yasin Malik’s hanging,” Abdullah said.

Omar challenged Er Rashid to clarify his position on forming an alliance with the BJP if needed to form a government. “I am still waiting for that speech from him where he clearly states he won’t support the BJP. He hasn’t uttered a word,” he said—(KNO)
