The lies, intrigue, manipulations and double speak has been the hall mark of what defines the Abdullah family’s politics. All members of the family right from their patriarch Sheikh Abdullah to Omar including his father Farooq have constantly displayed chameleonic character by brazenly doing a volta face as per their convenience. Thus we find the family’s political history laced with shameless contradictions and which continue even now. The family has a history of saying one thing in Delhi and then stating the opposite in Kashmir. Omar Abdullah is playing to the fundamentalist constituency in Kashmir and myopic media is turning a blind eye to that.
