Are Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah Anti-India/Anti-Hindu?

Notwithstanding baseless conspiracy theories, Farooq Abdullah has been steadfast in his conviction that the Kashmir valley must indeed remain a part of secular, democratic India (I do believe, like many others, including several Kashmiri Muslim friends of mine, that the Kashmiri separatist project is morally and legally invalid, as discussed here and here), a stand he reiterated recently while unequivocally condemning terrorist attacks on Hindus and Sikhs (and no, he was not in power in January 1990 when the very tragic exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits picked up steam), expressing his commitment to the secular and democratic ethos of the Indian constitution, onslaughts on which are being resisted by very many Indians across regional and religious affiliations. And with the Afghan Taliban regaining control over Kabul, while he did say he wished for the Taliban to deliver good governance without injustice to women and religious minorities in Afghanistan (which was misrepresented by some to suggest support for the Taliban on his part), he minced no words in talking about the threat he felt the ISI-backed Afghan Taliban could pose to Indian democracy in Kashmir.

 

He has publicly shamed the (now no more) Islamist separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani and the militaristic, theocratic Pakistani state, and was vehemently opposed to the release of terrorist Masood Azhar in the wake of the IC 814 hijacking, him never shying away from condemning terrorism even directed at BJP members. Hundreds of members of his party have been killed by separatist terrorists, attempts having been made on his life too. He is certainly not perfect or above criticism, but nor is the BJP, which has not been above fraudulent election practices (see this and this), financial corruption or pandering to extremists, even separatist-sympathisers, for votes. After making much noise over the delay in hanging Afzal Guru, the BJP commuted the death sentence of Khalistani terrorist Balwant Singh Rajoana, and even felicitated Mizo separatist rebels, who had taken Chinese support, in the presence of Chinese officials, while letting down Bru Hindus displaced by Mizo Christian extremists! Not only that, they have given blanket amnesty to Bodo separatist insurgents under PM Modi, and earlier even under PM Vajpayee, including to those with a record of killing unarmed civilians.


And contrary to false propaganda on WhatsApp claiming that Farooq Abdullah passed the Roshni Act in the name of electric connections to usurp property of Kashmiri Pandits, the Roshni Act was not for electricity connections but the government selling state-owned property to private persons, using the sale proceeds for building dams to generate electricity! It had no religious angle and applied to Jammu as well for selling state-owned property, not acquiring private property of Kashmiri Pandits, which was very often unfortunately legally sold in distress. The Roshni Act was passed when Farooq Abdullah was an alliance-partner of the then Vajpayee-led BJP, and it was repealed recently NOT by the Modi-led BJP (as the WhatsApp forwards claim) but judges of the J&K High Court because of the corruption involved, including under Modi sarkar-appointed Lieutenant Governors, and the BJP, in fact, wants this legislation back, as you can see here and here, and the Supreme Court, while acknowledging a scam, has returned land to genuine beneficiaries of the Act. Nor has, as the WhatsApp forwards falsely state, reportage on the Roshni Act been blanked out by the mainstream media, given it has been covered by media outlets ranging from India Today to the Indian Express to The Hindu.


Interestingly, Farooq belongs to the unconventional minority of Muslims who also embrace many Hindu beliefs and he has actually sung Hindu devotional hymns!

Farooq's son Omar Abdullah, a senior leader in the same party, the J&K National Conference and who is currently CM of J&K, has never shied away from condemning inappropriate remarks by communal and regressive Muslim politicians either, as you can see here and here.
