The Story in Brief
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has dismissed Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's criticism of the 2019 abrogation of Article 370. He said Pakistan should stop interfering in Jammu and Kashmir's internal affairs and instead address alleged human rights violations in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Responding to Sharif's 'Youm-e-Istehsal' remarks, Mr. Abdullah said the August 5 decision is an internal Indian matter. He accused Pakistan of overlooking killings by its Rangers in PoK and insisted that J&K's issues will be resolved within India's constitutional framework.
The Indian Opinion
The back-and-forth between Delhi and Islamabad over Kashmir rarely changes facts on the ground. Omar Abdullah is right to call out Pakistan's selective outrage while ignoring alleged abuses in PoK. But his own government's record on human rights and due process in the Valley invites scrutiny too. The real test is whether both sides will allow independent observers, UN or other, to assess conditions in their respective parts of the divided state. That would settle the rhetoric.
