NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Sunday accused the Centre of betraying both Ladakh and J&K by failing to fulfil its promises and deepening mistrust through delays in restoring statehood.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch of senior journalist and author Harinder Baweja\u2019s latest book, \u201cThey Will Shoot You, Madam: My life through conflict\u201d, Abdullah said the government had failed to follow through on its own roadmap, first for Jammu and Kashmir and now for Ladakh, alleging that the latter was misled with \u201cimpossible\u201d assurances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you wanted them (Ladakh) to participate in Hill Council elections, you promised them the Sixth Schedule. Everyone knew that giving the Sixth Schedule to Ladakh was nearly impossible. A region that shares frontiers with China on one side and Pakistan on the other requires a sizeable defence presence, which the Sixth Schedule makes impossible. Yet, you made promises to get electoral participation,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old also criticised the sudden shift in the stance towards Ladakhi leaders, especially climate activist Sonam Wangchuk.<\/p>\n

\u201cA gentleman who, until yesterday, was praising the prime minister as an environmental warrior and thanking him profusely for 2019 for fulfilling the dreams of Ladakhis by giving UT status\u2026 nobody found fault with him then. Today, suddenly, we find a Pakistani connection. Two days ago, there was none. Where did it come from?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

The protests in support of the demand for statehood and inclusion of Ladakh in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution took a violent turn on September 24, leaving four people dead and many injured.<\/p>\n

Following the incident, Wangchuk, who has been among those leading the protest, was detained under the National Security Act (NSA).<\/p>\n

On Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s demand for restoring statehood, Abdullah accused the central government of failing to honour its own commitments.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou told us it was a three-stage process \u2014 first delimitation, then elections, and finally statehood. The first two have been completed, but the third has gone nowhere. And then you wonder why there is a trust deficit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Abdullah cautioned that the trust deficit was eroding public faith, despite the unprecedented participation of Jammu and Kashmir residents in recent polls both the Parliament and Assembly.<\/p>\n

He also pointed to the recent Supreme Court remarks on statehood, where petitioners urging the Centre to fulfil its promise of restoring Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s status were told to consider \u201cground realities\u201d such as the Pahalgam terror attack.<\/p>\n

Abdullah said it was \u201cdeeply distressing\u201d that the matter seemed to be tied to events across the border, asking, \u201cDoes Pakistan now decide whether J&K should have statehood?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause every time we come close to statehood, something like Pahalgam will happen and again, we will be sent back,\u201d he said, asserting that statehood cannot be used as a \u201ccarrot\u201d for good behaviour.<\/p>\n

Stressing that the issue is not about Kashmir the land but about \u201cKashmiri\u201d the people Abdullah said the people want to feel a genuine sense of ownership again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe make that small difference in the nomenclature, and you make a huge difference on the land\u2026 And they (the people) have shown it to you time and again over the last two years, three years. They want to be owned, they want to be listened to, they want to be respected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The panel discussion was also joined by former Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey Will Shoot You, Madam\u201d, published by Roli Books, charts Baweja\u2019s journey of venturing deep into conflict zones, bringing to light stories from difficult terrains from the bloodied streets of Punjab to the volatile battleground of Jammu and Kashmir, and onwards to Pakistan and ravaged Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
