South Africa-like panel can heal J&K wounds: Omar

JAMMU: Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday said healing touch policy was missing in the state and reiterated his call for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to facilitate it.
Omar had proposed the South Africa-like TRC, regarded as a model of how societies can deal with traumatic pasts, soon after taking over as the chief minister in 2009.
"Jammu & Kashmir has so many policies for the government's better functioning but the healing touch policy is still missing," Omar told Jammu & Kashmir assembly. He said the state is in dire need of the Commission to find out answers to various hidden questions.
"TRC formation would help to find out the truth behind disappearances, political killings, eruption of militants and causes of Kashmiri Pandits migration from the Valley," he said. "We want the house to pass a resolution. A person or a team that is absolutely non-political and unbiased should be appointed to find out the ground realities."
