Descrimination Commission in J&K

Omar Abdullah, the new Chief minister of Jammu & kashmir, India has proposed forming of Descrimination Commission. He said that all the three regions of the state, viz. Kashmir valley, Jammu, and Leh-Ladakh feel that they are being discriminated against. He said that would like to remove these feelings and get all the regions together for betterment of J&K. He said he would like to the commission to be headed by a retired Chief Justice of Supreme Court and preferably should be from outside of J&K.
He also referred to the Amranath Yatra Land Transfer agitation and said that he would like to get people to talk and resolve the issue. He would like to come traders from both Jammu and valley to come together and work out mutually benefitial ways.
He said he would be leading a coalition government and is aware of realities of sucha situation. In addition, he said, he is aware that he would have to deal with the strong oppostion with diametrically opposite views, PDP on one hand and BJP on the other.

All in all the new young chief minister seems to be deeply routed in ground and at the same time having courage to state his dreams and vision. What he is actually able to deliver we are yet to see. Lets all wish him all the luck and cooperation from all factions.
