Jammu, Apr 9: A day after Apex Court of the country had termed S. Srinivasan's stubborn insistence to stick on to the BCCI headship as 'nauseating', Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association Chairman and Union Minister Farooq Abdullah had declared Srinivasan an 'honourable' man, but adamancy shown by Srinivasan in choosing to represent BCCI in the ICC meet at Dubai on April 11 in violation of the spirit of the Apex Court directives has exposed the shameless yearn of self styled cricket administrators to cling on to the BCCI and its constituent units.
Farooq Abdullah, JKCA Chairman who swore by Srinivasan's honour, actually cared a little for his own, when he defied norms of pro... | |

Interestingly the Deputy Commissioner Kathua Jatinder K Singh himself is unaware of... | |

| | | | Sensing defeat, Omar secures career by Modi bashing | | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 9: Sensing defeat, the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah has been desperately trying to secure his career by demonizing Modi.
The Chief Minister who had put all his eggs in the basket of Cong vice-president Rahul Gandhi, is going whole hog to secure his seat in the Cong camp by demonising Narendra Modi.
The Chief Minister in a rally at a Srinagar had said: "The person (Modi) who equates Muslims with the Dogs shows how much respect such a person has for the community. Such a person can't become the Prime Minister."
It's another instance of twisted facts and is also an example of inverted communal politics.
Modi didn't mean what has been said by the Chief Min... | |

Shakeel A Khan
SRINAGAR, Apr 9: With cases against Ministers and higher authorities pending for years together now the much talked about State Accountability Commission (SAC) has proved to be a toothless tiger with its existence on paper only.
The Commission set up to weed out corruption from the state has failed to do the justice since no action whatsoever has been taken against the tainted. The menace of corruption is still at its peak, since the wings of SAC have been clipped thus making it yet another useless recommendatory body in the state.
There is no seriousness on part of the Government that can show it is concerned to eradicate menace of bribe. In fact its roots are growing d... | |

| | | | PDP taunts NC leadership, says NC has merged its identity with Congress | | Kashmir's Election scene | | | Neha
JAMMU, Apr 9: What an irony! A party that dominated the Kashmir's political scene for decades has today become an object of ridicule and contempt. The case in point is the National Conference (NC), which has no real support-base in Jammu province and whose area of influence has been shrinking very fast since 2002 in the Kashmir Valley, despite it being highly communal, divisive and pro-separatist. It would be a misnomer to term the NC a state-level party; in fact, it is even difficult to call it a one-region party. The reason is that it won less number of seats and got less number of votes in the Valley in 2008 as compared to the newly-founded People's Democratic Party (PDP). That t... | |

| | | | Elections divide Jammu Chamber of Commerce & Industry | | Politicizing Trade | | | Rustam
JAMMU, Apr 9: The election process is on. Political parties are taking on each other and trying their level best to woo voters through their respective manifestos, public rallies, speeches, statements, press conferences and social media. It's natural.
It is also not surprising that the political parties are tearing into each other in their bid to garner votes. Most of the parties, which present themselves to the people as secular outfits, have been actually vitiating the election scene by converting the electoral exercise into secularism versus communalism debate.
So much so, the "secular" parties have been seeking support of religious leadership so that they could win the ele... | |
