Omar and Rahul: Alarming Parallels

Recent remarks by Omar Abdullah about Kashmir had twisted the very arms that were trying to hold it from falling apart. His remarks once again proved that the family name, good looks, charisma and age forty is not the only qualifications needed to rule the masses.
Omar's reflection in mirror could very well be that of Rahul Gandhi's, only that it would be far more distorted. Both Omar and Rahul are the latest offshoot of decades of dynasty rule; both are of same age; both are born to foreign born Christian moms (Omar was born in England. Is he even Indian?); both are foreign educated and inexperienced in handling tough situations like that in politics. These similarity should give some clues to those under Gandhi Family Hypnotism, about the catastrophic implications of Rahul's enthronement. Kashmir is a state; its hiccups could be confined within the limits of our country or at the max withing the limits of India and Pakistan. How will we confine Rahul's babbles in international arena, if at all he gets the command of the country? His recent remarks on RSS and previous remarks on Bangladesh were as ignorant and provocative.
Omar's controversy should be a wake up call for all, not just for the sake of Kashmir but also for the nation. To be a politician, qualification of being a nationalist should be made a must, whereby it would automatically disqualify both Omar and Rahul.


Omar is his own worst enemy
"Omar Abdullah has been accused of running the state as ‘an outsider’. There was a lot of hope vested in him when he took over, but it seems to have vanished with his inadequate performance. He is considered as a part of the problem. The Centre seems to be in the process of exercising an option of changing the governor of the state, but the people’s disillusionment with the chief minister seems to be greater. While the hopes of many Generation-Next leaders are dependent on the success of the young CM, it is time the parties in the state look for a mature and better-informed alternative. Between us."
