<\/div>\n
Jammu, Jan 6 : Asserting that further division of Jammu and Kashmir on religious lines can have far reaching consequences, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday castigated Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders for claiming that Jammu only may get statehood.<\/div>\n
The Chief Minister while responding to a query of a reporter about the claims of BJP leaders said, \u201cThey have already spoiled Ladakh by making it a UT. If they now want to do the same to Jammu, then let them do it.\u201d<\/div>\n
He said the Centre had \u201cfailed to effectively administer Ladakh after separating it from Jammu and Kashmir.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThey couldn\u2019t control Ladakh. Why are they now trying to spoil Jammu?\u201d Abdullah asked, adding that such statements reflected political failure. \u201cSomewhere their politics has failed. That is why they are now talking about the statehood for Jammu,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
The Chief Minister also questioned why the idea was not implemented earlier. \u201cWhen all this was being done in 2019, why didn\u2019t they do it then?\u201d he said, and cautioned against any attempt to redraw political boundaries on communal grounds. \u201cOn what basis do they want to separate Jammu? On the basis of religion?\u201d he asked.<\/div>\n
The Chief Minister also spoke about the challenges being faced by his government. \u201cSix days have passed in the New Year and nobody knows what all we will have to face,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
Recalling last year\u2019s developments, the Chief Minister said unexpected events had tested the administration. \u201cLast year, nobody thought there would be a Pahalgam attack. Then there was Operation Sindoor. There was also heavy rain in August and September. We are still bearing the brunt,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
The Chief Minister said while the government prepares for challenges, many situations unfold without warning. \u201cWe prepare, but we don\u2019t know what is going to unfold,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
Listing immediate priorities, CM Omar said the upcoming budget session would be a major test for the government. He also flagged the approaching tourism season, which usually begins in March.<\/div>\n
\u201cTourism season is starting in March. We have to brace for it. Hopefully, it will be successful, but it is a challenge,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
The Chief Minister said his government was ready to face multiple tests. \u201cWe are ready to face all kinds of challenges, but situations take a turn and test us in various ways,\u201d he said, adding that restoration of full statehood for Jammu and Kashmir remained a key political challenge.<\/div>\n
Referring to the row over admissions in Shri Mata Vaishno Devi (SMVD) University Medical College, the Chief Minister said, \u201cThe Health Ministry should consider shutting down the University Medical College as the institution has turned into a political issue, even though students admitted there are qualified on merit. The controversy has created uncertainty for students and their families.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Health Ministry should shut down the college. It has become a political issue. The students who have taken admission there are qualified on merit. If I were the father of those children, I would not allow them to study there,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
Reacting to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) directing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to release Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman from their IPL 2026 squad, CM Omar questioned the move and sought clarity on the grounds for the decision.<\/div>\n
The BCCI had asked KKR to release Rahman without issuing a public explanation, despite the franchise having bought the pacer for \u20b99.2 crore at the IPL auction last month.<\/div>\n
\u201cWhat wrong has Mustafizur Rahman done?\u201d CM Omar asked, adding that India shares better relations with Bangladesh than with Pakistan. \u201cThere is no terrorism coming from Bangladesh,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
Commenting on reports of killings of Hindus in Bangladesh, the Chief Minister said the Prime Minister should respond firmly on the issue. \u201cIf such incidents are happening, the Prime Minister should speak strongly, like US President Donald Trump does while dealing with Venezuela,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
