| AICC, JKPCC leave Omar Govt in lurch | | Governor sends report on 'political corruption'; CM summoned to Delhi | | | Ahmed Ali Fayyaz
srinagar, Oct 6 : Notwithstanding the Irrigation & PHE Minister Taj Mohiuddin's moral support, principal coalition partner Congress has left Omar Abdullah's 33-month-long government to fend for itself in the wake of a fast growing onslaught from different opposition parties. While as the minor coalition partners and supporters---Ghulam Hassan Mir, Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami, Hakeem Mohammad Yasin, Engineer Rashid---have either maintained a studied silence or demanded an inquiry into the Syed Yousuf episode, opposition parties---PDP, BJP, National Panthers Party, JSM---have been strongly calling for CBI investigation.
Political analysts have noticed that Sonia Gandhi-led All India Congress Committee as well as Prof Saifuddin Soz-led Jammu & Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee have opted a discreet silence with regard to hot political developments in the state.

Jammu, Oct 6: Union Health Minister and former J&K Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Wednesday sprung a big surprise. He took a stand on the ongoing fierce controversy over the circumstances leading to the death of NC worker and a close associate of NC president Farooq Abdullah and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Haji Syed Mohammad Yousuf, in mysterious circumstances, which appears quite intriguing in the prevailing environment. In fact, he swung solidly behind the beleaguered Omar Abdullah and urged the opposition parties to endorse the Chief Minister's suggestion that a judicial probe into the matter that has created a volcanic situation in the already restive Kashmir Valley by a si... | |
