Mr. Abdullah's veiled sympathy towards the killing of innocent people by the Muslim militants is not appreciated at all by this writer.  While he is showing this so-called innocent sympathy, he is inciting Muslims also to fight against the local and central governments.  He is not condemning the separatists in that state, nor does he say anything about the support coming from Pakistan which is creating all this chaos. His family's three generations had ruled the state, what did he do to eliminate this Muslim militancy from the state?  What is the purpose of showing these crocodile tears and pretending to lose sleep when this type of tragedy occurs?  If he is really hurt, he should sit with the local and central government and, keeping aside party politics, find ways to solve this problem.  In my opinion, the problem is not religion, it is an economic issue.  These youngsters do not have jobs, they have all the time to demonstrate against the government forces and destroy public property.  If meaningful jobs are created for them, these demonstrations and destruction of property will stop and there will be peace in the region.  Jobs can be created only by repealing an Article 370 which will help bring outside investment in the valley. That is where, Mr. Abdullah and company can play a major role, get the constitution amended,have this Article deleted, create jobs for the youngsters.  This is the only way to improve the present situation failing which there is no way to change the status quo.
