| ET newspaper harassed, baseless cases slapped | | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Nov 24: Call it an irony or paradox of the claims, the state government is going against the grain of what it calls for 'professionalism' in the Police Department. For harassment and threatening tactics are the only tools which the Police force are using to crush and cover its own (mis)deeds while dealing with crime, at least in Jammu. Worse, not even media is spared in their tactics to cover up their acts of omission and commission.
While the incident of so called Giri encounter is being questioned and contested by the media, the Early Times newspaper which is the only English daily to have brazenly tried to expose police claims, is now being harassed on the pre... | |

| | | | Omar talks of making police people-friendly force, does not make mention of "mysterious" encounter killing | | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 24: Even as chief minister Omar Abdullah today talked of making J&K police a people-friendly force, he did not utter a word on the "mysterious" encounter killing of Rakesh Singh Giri near Satyam Resorts here Sunday last.
How could an unclear police force be people-friendly? Their post-encounter behaviour is somewhat awkward and shows that they are not in a mood to discuss the incident anymore. They are so unclear that they did not even bother to deny the charge of Giri's family that he was allegedly murdered in a staged encounter.
Police denial, supported with the "genuine" encounter details, was must.
It has been felt that despite their hundreds of meets h... | |
| | | | Greedy Cong ministers eye R&B portfolio | | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 24: Congress ministers in the cabinet, headed by Omar Abdullah, are in race against one another for the sole purpose of securing the portfolio of Roads and Buildings (R&B).

Some of these Congress ministers are seen foll... | |

EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 24: The politically conscious people of Bihar have given their verdict. They have rejected all those who used to preach and practice fake secularism; those who used to pit one section of society against another; those who used to set the followers of one religion against another; those who used to promote caste politics; and those who would not even mind bartering national interests and compromising secularism and democracy for the sake of personal power and profit.
In other words, the electorate has decimated the Rashatriya Janta Dal (RJD) of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Lokjan Shakti Party (LJP) of Ramvilas Paswan. Yadav-Paswan combine has failed to retain... | |

EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 24: "The withdrawal of the AFSPA is need of the hour…The statements by the Army chief (General VK Singh) are unnecessary rather than apt.

Taking people of Kashmir into confidence. They are the real owners of the land." Who said all this? Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's uncle and former Cabinet Minister Mustafa Kamal said so. He said so while talking to the two-member Canadian delegation on Tuesday.
