| | | | Reminding all of old fable, Soz moved at tortoise pace in 2011 to consolidate position in party | | | | Bharat Bhushan
JAMMU, Jan 15: As one may recall, the tortoise was often teased by hare for how slow it moved. In the race between them, it was, however, the tortoise that won. Reminding all of this old childhood fable, Saifudin Soz moved ahead at slow-and-steady pace in 2011 to consolidate his position as PCC chief.
He very quietly quipped back to the boasts of so many "hares" in his party and proved that all of them could be beaten together at tortoise pace.
While they were busy in finding faults with him, he toured extensively last year across the state and addressed series of public meetings. This was his candid reply to all of them.
He did not get involved in a war of words with ... | |

| | | | Who will Dogras vote for in coming municipal elections? | | | | Neha
JAMMU, Jan 15: As for Leh in the Cold-Desert Ladakh, the people there would have the choice between the Congress and those fighting for Union Territory status for the region. The NC will also field its candidate in many wards, but it is unlikely to perform well because of local factors. It would come out of the exercise minus everything. It may capture a handful of wards. The BJP also has its support-base confined to a few pockets and, hence, it may see its candidates through in a few wards. But basically it would be a fight between the Congress and the protagonists of Union Territory status. It is important to note that the attitude of the Congress and the protagonists of Union Ter... | |

JAMMU, Jan 15: Is Samajwadi party leader and president of its state unit Sheikh Abdul Rehman a changed man? Has he recognized the fact that the Muslims of Kashmir have their future secure only in India rather than in Pakistan or in an autonomous Kashmir or in an independent Kashmir?
