Omar should surrender or tender opology

How long will people be killed like this on streets and how long will the blood of our youth wash our streets. This bloodshed in valley should be stopped now. Now the worst thing which had not even happened in last two decades, the journalist were denied to work and were beaten to pulp by the security personnel. Jammu and Kashmir government firstly cancelled the curfew passes issued to the media persons and restricted their movement. Media persons were told by the men in uniform to stay indoors if they want to remain alive. From all over the world the right minded people termed media gag as an assault on the freedom of press by the government.
The Omar Abdullah government has done everything to stop media persons from discharging their professional duties.
In the wake of present turbulence, the government should have ensured free flow of information to keep people updated and to discourage rumour mongering. However, the reverse has happened.
Among others the Indian Federation of working Journalist also condemned the use of force against the journalist fraternity in Kashmir terming it a direct attack on Press. However across the world journalists expressed deep anguish over ‘the unashamed approach of the government,’ which has not shown any respect for the media as an important institution. Omar is committing mistakes over mistakes, attack on press, deployment of army all this will not help him to come out of the adverse situation but can cause more trouble for him and his government. Army may succeed in preventing protests but it cannot help Omar reclaim people’s confidence in the government. For that he will have to apply civilian means. The longer he relies on military means the more difficult he will find to restore normalcy in the valley. If Omar is serious about the issue and does not take casually, he has the only two option either to surrender or to render open opolgy.
