Omar Abdullah prioritizing concerns of a terrorist’s son rather than a terrorist’s victim is highly condemnable: Pawan Sharma

JAMMU, January 03; Pawan Sharma, senior BJP leader and Prabhari for District Doda, has criticized Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for prioritizing the concerns of a terrorist’s son over those of a terrorist’s victim. This criticism comes amidst Omar Abdullah’s statement expressing concern for the son of a terrorist and those who have supported terrorism in Kashmir. Sharma condemned Abdullah’s stance, emphasizing the importance of empathy towards the victims of terrorism rather than their perpetrators.

Sharma emphasized that Abdullah’s statement is a stark reminder of the National Conference leader’s priorities, which appear to be skewed in favor of those who have perpetuated violence and terror in the region. By contrast, the victims of terrorism and their families continue to suffer in silence, Sharma noted.

Sharma’s condemnation is part of a broader narrative of political tensions in Jammu and Kashmir. The region has witnessed significant developments in recent times, under the astute leadership of PM Narendra Modi at the Centre, including the launch of various developmental projects and initiatives aimed at promoting peace and stability in the region.

Sharma further remarked, “The NC government has been in power for almost three months, but their performance has been disappointing across the board. They have failed to deliver on their manifesto promises, which included 12 free gas cylinders, 200 units of free electricity, 10 kgs rice, one lakh jobs, and regularising daily wagers,”

Sharma denounced the chief minister for making a U-turn on his commitments. “U-turns have been a long-standing tradition of Abdullah and NC governments. In opposition, they promised to dispose of electricity meters in the Tawi and Jhelum rivers. Now, in power, they assert that uninterrupted electricity will be supplied only upon achieving 100 percent metering,” Sharma noted.

It’s worth noting that Sharma has also been vocal about other issues affecting the region, such as the need for better infrastructure and amenities in snow-affected areas. His criticism of Abdullah’s statement should be seen in the context of these broader concerns and the ongoing political discourse in Jammu and Kashmir.
