The word chutzpah which was not famous yesterday is quite common in Kashmir now. Vishal and Basharat’s “Haider” made it familiar everywhere.

Everyday a new chutzpah exist, not only in political parties but also people taking part in creation of it. Those who were supporting National conference yesterday are supporting People’s Democratic Party now. People in Kashmir are creating chutzpah on every next day, some believe to say they will die for Geelani but they will also vote for the party which they want to see in power. Those who were chanting Aazadi slogans yesterday are seen shouting political slogans. Every common man is taking part in formation of chutzpah.
Kashmir has a tumultuous political history. Kashmir always has witnessed a chutzpah during elections. Contestants of political parties are seen blaming each other for devastation in Kashmir. Promises like revocation of AFSPA (Armed force special power act), job guarantee to unemployed youths, 24 hours electricity, development in rural areas and all this goes on during election campaigning.
First from omar’s chutzpah. Tweeting on twitter “thank goodness some of this deadwood my father had accumulated is clearing itself out. My only regret –two wasted MLC seats for 6 years.” He seems to be angry, closing doors for Mehboob being in party. He also blame PDP for giving mandate to corrupt “whether it is timber smugglers or people involved in ration or fertilizer scams, all are contesting on PDP ticket”. He also accused Sajad lone of ganging up with BJP, which he alleged wants to end status of state, a charge which the separatist- turned politician said was shameless.
2nd the Hina’s chutzpah. Dr Hina who is BJP’s Amira kadal constituency contestant claiming “will pick up gun if the party abrogates article 370”. She seems to be playing dirty politics. Calling National Conference (NC) led government as a “den of dacoits” and the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party, as a “party of brokers”. It seems she forgot her father was also National conference candidate.
3rd the Sajad’s chutzpah. Sajad Ghani, I remember in 2008 Sajad with a copy of Quran in his hand swearing up and down, bashing Geelani remorselessly, and denying having hand in elections held under Indian control. And after few month’s he contested his first election.I also remember in 2008 protests, Barkha Dutt an NDTV reporter questioned and attacked Sajad when he was the, then separatist for calling Kashmir as india’s illegal occupied part. I still remember he replied “come and take single inch of land in Kashmir”, today he is calling Kashmir an integral part of India. He also bashed Abdullah’s for not having any religion, and making them responsible for 2010 killings in Kashmir. Sajad is main key element for the formation of Chutzpah.
