The Story in Brief
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has accused the police of playing a 'fixed match' by registering an FIR against Iltija Mufti, daughter of PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, over an alleged assault on a cop during an August 4 protest. Police claim Iltija bit an officer's forearm, causing injury; Iltija says she was manhandled by a woman IPS officer. She was questioned for two hours Friday.
Omar said the case is an attempt to restore PDP's credibility, alleging the party is propped up by agencies. Iltija countered that Omar no longer speaks on Article 370 and has given the BJP a clean chit. She has been booked under BNS sections for assault and rioting. Iltija says she will take the matter to court.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides are spinning a story that misses the real Kashmir. The 'she bit me' versus 'they manhandled me' drama lets the main issue, the daily erosion of rights since Article 370's removal, fade from sight. The real test will be whether either leader next week speaks specifically about unemployment or land protections, not just each other's conduct.
