Candid confession
I was amazed to hear the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah candidly admitting on NDTV that he had lost all the credibility which he needed to build back brick by brick. It is a fact that as head of the state, Omar should have handled the present crisis in a maturer manner than calling in Army. I personally feel that Army was called in to terrorize people and give a signal that anybody who defies the curfew would be dealt with seriously.
