Omar applauds 'political transformation' of Rahul

Two days after Rahul Gandhi stormed the Well in Lok Sabha over "rising" communal violence, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today applauded his "political transformation" and said it is good sign for the Congress in these "difficult" times.
Omar praised the "aggressive" posture and said the Congress leader is "the force" who has to bind the party men together in these difficult times.
"Rahul has always been the one who has been keen to speak. The problem in the last ten years had been that it was his government at the Centre and that more often than not if he had spoken his mind, he ran the risk of being misunderstood. And therefore rightly so he kept his counsel to himself," the NC leader said.

The Chief Minister said "today he is in the opposition and surely Rahul is the force that has to bind the Congress in these difficult times. I am glad that he has spoken out in Parliament and he will continue to do so in the days to come".
On August 6, the Congress general secretary stormed the Well in Lok Sabha raking up the issue of "rising" communal violence and questioned the impartiality of Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
A reticent Rahul entered the Well for the first time in over 10 years to join his party members in pressing for an adjournment motion to discuss the incidents of communal violence, a demand opposed by the government.
