| NC activist's death raises political storm | | Speaker, Ansari trade filth over PDP's motion Justice impossible till accused are CM, MoS Home: Mehbooba | | | Ahmed Ali Fayyaz
SRINAGAR, Oct 3: Speaker Mohammad Lone today dismissed PDP's adjournment motion over death of a National Conference (NC) activist in Legislative Assembly even as he locked horns with the principal opposition party and the PDP's MLA and the Speaker exchanged filthy adjectives and invectives. PDP President, Mehbooba Mufti, persisted with her demand of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's resignation with the argument that no credible investigation was possible as long as the accused held the highest offices in the state government.
With his arrival in the House, Speaker initiated the proceedings of Question Hour without regard to an adjournment motion moved by a group of over one dozen MLAs of PDP. Leader of the Opposition and PDP President, Mehbooba Mufti, got up to assert that her party's adjourn motion was of "extremely serious nature" as fingers were being directly raised over Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and union Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah in the alleged custodial killing of one Syed Mohammad Yousuf.
Speaker insisted that he would deal with the adjourn motion but ... | |

SRINAGAR, Oct 3: Breaking his silence after four days, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today asserted that PDP's accusation of the NC activist Syed Yousuf's custodial killing was "completely unfounded and unsubstantiated". He said that on his suo moto action, a sitting judge of Jammu & Kashmir High Court would hold a thorough and credible investigation into the entire episode but, at the same time, he would file a defamation suit against the PDP President, Mehbooba Mufti, for the allegation of "murder" she had leveled against him and his father Dr Farooq Abdullah.

| | | | PDP upbeat & unrelenting, Omar says I'm clean | | Critical Moment For NC | | | Rustam
jammu, Oct 3: People's Democratic Party (PDP), which, like the National Conference (NC), wants a dispensation outside the political and constitutional organisation of India, is upbeat and unrelenting. It has seen in the mysterious death of a prominent NC activist, Haji Syed Mohammad Yousuf, an opportunity to tear into the NC, score points and establish that while it is pro-people, the NC is anti-democratic, corrupt, dangerous and undependable. Yousuf died on Friday in mysterious circumstances and ever since then, the PDP has upped its ante and unleashed a no-holds-barred campaign against the Chief Minister, his father and the Minister of State for Home affairs.

jammu, Oct 3: After "threadbare" discussion, the participants, roughly 18 in number, including 3-odd so-called Hindu women and peace activists, adopted a resolution. It was adopted unanimously. Why not? After all, all those who participated in the meet were those who subscribed to the view that the Indian presence in Jammu and Kashmir is illegal and unwarranted, that the extension of central laws to the state (read the influential and prosperous Kashmiri Sunnis) has "eroded the Kashmir's distinct identity" and that New Delhi must rectify its mistakes by conceding what the people of Kashmir want (read a section of Kashmiri society that has been ruling the state and exploiting and destr... | |
| | | | Appeal to Hon'ble speaker by Shri Chaman Lal Gupta BJP MLA | | | | Sir,
I had raised a question during the last session of the state assembly seeking a reply from the government regarding the decision to stop government advertisements to the daily Early Times published from Jammu.
I had also spoken about the highhandedness of the government and its arbitrary, whimsical dispensation regarding distribution of official advertisements to the various newspapers published in the state.
Despite repeated requests, the state government did not come forward with any reply to my question and the result has been that through its decision to ignore my question the state government has covertly accepted that it does not have a reasonable answer to my question.
