The Lok Sabha results in Baramulla and Ladakh reflect a churning among voters

- TARIQ BHAT

INDEPENDENTS' DAY

A unique campaign unfolded in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections in Baramulla, where independent candidate Abdul Rashid Sheikh aka Engineer Rashid eventually trounced National Conference’s Omar Abdullah and Peoples Conference president Sajad Lone. Rashid, leader of the Awami Ittehad Party, ran his election bid from Tihar Jail. In his absence, his sons Abrar and Asrar campaigned for him.

The brothers, both in their 20s, led crowds with impassioned slogans. Each rally began with Abrar’s call: “Tihar ka badla (the revenge for Tihar is),” to which the crowd responded, “Vote se (by vote).” Abrar would continue the slogan with “Zulm (injustice) ka badla” and “Jail ka badla”, each of which would be met with the roaring response of “vote se”.

Life can change its course like a ship in the blink of an eye with hard starboard or hard port. I had always prided myself on leading a disciplined lifestyle, with two hours of daily exercise, a balanced diet and a belief that these would be enough to keep a 58-year-old biological body shipshape, ready to weather any storm. Little did I imagine that I would one day drop anchor in a hospital bed.
