| | | | Fresh Islamist movement building up in Valley | | Mass mobilization begins against Facebook blasphemy, conversions, promiscuity, drug addiction, liquor consumption | | | Ahmed Ali Fayyaz
SRINAGAR, Nov 18: With the clerics and separatist politicians asserting against "serious threats to the religion"--- blasphemous pages on Facebook, recent conversion of some youth into Christianity, menacingly spreading drug addiction, promiscuity, flesh trade and spiraling liquor consumption--- a fresh Islamist movement appears to be taking shape in the conflict-riddled Kashmir valley.
The ground is not as fertile as it was during the pre-militancy halcyon days of 1989 when groups like Shabir Shah's Peoples League, Shakeel Bakhshi's Islamic Students League, Asiya Andrabi's Dukhtaraan-e-Millat, followed by Islamic Jamiat-ul-Tulaba, Hizb-e-Islami and Allah Tigers, shut cin... | |

Jammu, Nov 18: In what can emerge to be war of nerves, the political scenario of the state, it seems, is set to witness the ties between the alliance partners of the ruling coalition ripping apart further.
The thaw that was witnessed post bickering over AFSPA issue is no longer there to stay if sources are to be believed, Congress party is feeling "suffocating" with its ally National Conference.
Insiders in Congress revealed that "sheer unrest is brimming up among the Congress cadre and middle rung leaders who are being ignored by none other than the major coalition partner National Conference.
Further, wherever the NC candidate has won the Assembly segment seat and C... | |
| | | | Does Dr Abdullah want his son to collide with Delhi? | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 18: It has become customary for the ruling NC patron and union minister for new and renewable sources of energy Dr. Farooq Abdullah to bat for his son, State Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. During the last nearly three years of his tenure in power, Dr. Farooq has tried at least a dozen times to bat and pad for his son who continues to play on a slippery wicket.
This time the patron of the NC has said the Chief Minister is the boss when it comes to taking any decision on the crucial issues those concern the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Little does the NC patron realize that his assertions should have been correlated with his own tenure and track record as the Chi... | |
| | | | NC leadership perturbed over Cong stand of AFSPA | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 18: The rigid stand taken by Defense Ministry and Army on withdrawal of Armed forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and Disturbed Area Act from some places in Kashmir Valley has perturbed the top brass of National Conference with Party patriarch and Union Minister of Renewable Energy, Dr Farooq Abdullah also joining his son and Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah asking Centre to take the Chief Minister of the state also in consultation.

| | | | Autonomy or AFSPA repeal? | | Omar's priorities | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 18: The Rather Panel that was appointed on october 13 last year to study Justice Sageer recommendations is yet to submit its report. The Panel was supposed to submit its report within three months of its coming into being. However, the Chief Minister gave extention to the panel three months ago and that perhaps was the last time when a mention of restoration of autonomy was made. Since then Omar has extensively talked about AFSPA revocation.
Justice Sageer headed one of the working groups formed by the Prime Minister in 2006. The group submitted its report early this year and National Conference considered it a victory. However, the National Conference coul... | |
| | | | Secessionist movement in Kashmir and Jammu's response | | Widening Gulf | | | Neha
Jammu, Nov 18: One of the fall-outs of the ongoing secessionist movement in the Kashmir Valley is the growing demand in Jammu for a separate state/reorganisation of the state on regional basis. The demand unambiguously points to the consciousness of the danger of being submerged under the rising clamour in Kashmir for "azadi", plebiscite, restoration of pre-1953 position and self-rule. It also points to their dwindling faith in the Congress-led UPA Government. The reason: The Union Government seems determined to unsettle things in Kashmir in its desperate bid to buy peace in the Valley and throw in the lot of the people of Jammu with Kashmir.
The people of Jammu have been told, and a... | |
| | | | Omar's crusade against AFSPA: Gains & Losses | | | | Rustam
Jammu, Nov 18: As mentioned, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's crusade against AFSPA has boomeranged. Instead of making gains, he has only incurred heavy losses. He wanted to address a particular constituency in Kashmir by telling it that he had achieved what he announced unilaterally on October 21, but miserably failed. As a result, the constituency he wanted to cultivate has become his bitter critic. It has come to believe that the chief Minister was never committed to achieving what he had solemnly promised and that his attempt was basically aimed at deflecting the people's attention away from his own acts of omission and commission and failures. The APHC (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar F... | |
