Instead of being incensed at the remarks of Omar Abdullah, one should see it in its logic.
If Congress can have Karunanidhi(Party DMK in the Cabinet) ,who has been named in the Jain Commission for involvement in Rajiv Gandhi murder case,in the UPA Alliance,:despite his declaration that he supported LTTE(which he retracted later);who has refused to to be present to receive IPKF on the ground it has raped Tamil Women in Sri Lanka and killed the Tamils, why is it Congress is crying over Omar Abdulla’s remark?
Because it suits them to have Karunanidhi on its side to prevent Raja and Kanimozhi spilling the beans in 2 G scam and to make up numbers in the Parliament?
Whatever be the compulsions ,Tamil Nadu Government ,by passing the Resolution, has questioned the discretionary powers of the President,which is not Right- the consequence one can see Omar Abdullah’s statement.
Omar is correct in asking that ‘would the reactions be the same?’
The answer,honestly,is NO.
Bot Omar is not Right though correct.
Srinagar (PTI): Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today raised a question whether a resolution by J and K assembly seeking mercy for Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru on the lines of Tamil Nadu House would also generate a “muted” reaction, comments that came under sharp attack from the BJP.
“If J&K assembly had passed a resolution similar to the Tamil Nadu one for Afzal Guru would the reaction have been as muted? I think not,” Omar punched on social networking site Twitter.
His controversial comments came a day after the Tamil Nadu assembly passed a unanimous resolution urging President Pratibha Patil to reconsider the mercy plea of three convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case who are facing death sentence. “Omar’s remarks are unfortunate.’

In the meantime, acting on a legal move by Vaiko and N. Chandrasekaran, The Madras High Court on Tuesday stayed the executions for 8 weeks giving time for the government to file counter affidavit.
