Look who’s growing up at 40.


This is in regards to what Rahul Gandhi said at a press conference in Kolkatta on September 16, 2010.
Despite testing times in Jammu and Kashmir, this is what the Congress General Secretary has to say “Omar is a youngster and has a tough job; we have to give him time and support.” My question here is WHY!
The high-profile Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) failed to suggest any steps to address the alarming situation in Jammu and Kashmir, the Centre announced a political package close to Eid but nothing happened and in regards to withdrawing the Armed Forces Special Power Acts that’s just a distant dream. Over and above this, we still need to wait for the 40 year old Omar to grow up! Rahul Gandhi’s late realization I’m afraid will not do anything to cool down tempers in the valley. Mere talks and promises are not enough. We need the government to urgently step in and take charge. The death count since June has climbed up to 85 and for sure we would not want the figure to go up waiting for Omar to grow or for the government to keep starching their dhotis. Seven years as a Chief Minister, what! It’s certainly now or never.
