SRINAGAR/NEW DELHI: J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah on Monday said that although both Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and home minister P Chidambaram had agreed on the need to make concessions in the Valley, his proposal (to quit) was not considered by the Cabinet.According to sources, the chief minister, who was in New Delhi on Monday before flying back to Srinagar, may have already indicated his inability to continue if the Centre did not create political headroom for him.A beleaguered Omar, whose handling of the situation is seen as inept and one of the reasons for the crisis, disclosed his plan to quit after a three-hour CCS meeting failed to hammer out a response to his demand for withdrawal of AFSPA from certain parts of J&K. The CCS, instead, decided to call an all-party meeting to discuss AFSPA and other issues.“Earlier in the day, I was hopeful that something would emerge from the evening meeting but it was painful to learn later that the CCS members have decided to hold an all-party meeting on the issue of even partial withdrawal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act,” the CM said.He further referred to differences in the CCS which was holding up a decision on lifting AFSPA. “Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and home minister P Chidambaram were in agreement with my suggestion, but the proposal was not considered in the CCS meeting today,” he said.Omar’s quit threat comes at a time when the Centre finds itself in an acute bind over how to deal with the sudden surge in violence which claimed 15 lives on Monday, with an audio clip suggesting that Syed Ali Shah Geelani may have discarded the restraint he had so far exercised and joined those like Masarat Alam to choreograph unrest by forcing security personnel to open fire.Centre is unhappy with Omar for messing up matters, and does not lay great store by his acumen to stem the slide. However, it is not clear whether it would like to come directly in the line of fire of separatists on an issue which evokes strong feelings in the country by doing away with the buffer that state leaders can offer. The anxiety gives Omar leverage even when he stands discredited, especially because his demand appears moderate in comparison to the postures of even moderate Hurriyat leaders.The CCS again witnessed the divergence between the ministry of defence and the ministry of home over withdrawal of AFSPA. Sources said the defence ministry counselled caution even with regard to the removal of certain contingents of paramilitary personnel from the Valley.
