If there is one lesson of the past 19 years, it is that conscience remains the truest guide. "A man does what he must,". Today Omar Abdullah proved what he says, the dead cannot be brought back but it will defiantly send a message to people who think elected governments are remote controlled by Delhi.
Many of my fellow bloggers have been so very against the present dispensation and the recent killings was one of their excuse to launch a diatribe against the CM , one of the bloggers had started a countdown game. No wonder he thought that running an elected government was as easy as writing a blog. Although I am sure all of us condemned what happed in bomia, but we do not want Kashmir to be talbanaised, so in a democracy everything happens under the umbrella called “LAW”. It has never happened in the history of Kashmir’s insurgency that the army has admitted that they are at fault and taken action against their JCO and some junior officers. Atleast give this credit to the CM, he made a beginning.
I am sure we have wasted enough years hoping for the impossible. The world geography has been changing every fifty years. May be it does someday. Till then let us opt for peace and progress. In the changed global context boundaries are disappearing and narrow nationalism is fast losing its appeal. Economy is preceding ideals and ideologies. We have entered an era where hollow slogans and destructive emotionalism have absolutely no relevance. It’s high time that people start taking decisions. As they rightly say “You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.
