SRINAGAR, April 26: Senior National Conference leader, MLA from Sonawari and former Minister and Speaker of Legislative Assembly Mohammad Akbar Lone has virtually snubbed his party colleagues, including Devender Singh Rana and Abdul Rahim Rather, for supporting demand of different political and non-political organisations for establishment of a major hospital on the pattern on All India Institute of Medical Sciences [AIIMS].
Without mentioning anybody’s name but with clear insinuation to Rana and Rather, Lone reportedly told Kashmir News Service on Sunday that “some short-sighted NC leaders” had toed the Jammu-based organisations’ line over the demand of AIIMS to Jammu without any discussion in the party’s Working Committee.

Abodh Sharma
By shedding crocodile tears over the New Recruitment Policy of the BJP- PDP Coalition Government, the Ordinance of which was sent to the Governor, the National Conference has not only presented the most glaring example of political hypocrisy, but has also brazenly undermined the public opinion and objectivity.
