| Why does NC's bedfellow turn into gutter worm overnight? | | Kamaal's no-holds-barred continues against Congress; Soz takes matter to Delhi | | | Ahmed Ali Fayyaz
SRINAGAR, Nov 2: By all indications, maverick Mustafa Kamaal appears to be programmed by his party National Conference in his no-holds-barred tirade against Delhi, read Indian armed forces and the coalition partner Congress. While directly blaming Army for current spurt in grenade blasts, Dr Kamaal has gone unusually whole hog against the party that installed NC back into power in 2009. Significantly, his tantrums began within days of his induction as his party's 'only spokesman' and additional General Secretary last fortnight.
If well placed political sources are to be believed, Jammu & Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) chief, Prof Saif-ud-din Soz, has now taken up the matter of Dr Kamaal's virulent campaign against Congress---more significantly against Army---not only with the AICC leadership but also with two union Cabinet Ministers in New Delhi. Prof Soz, according to these sources, has carried with him press clippings Dr Kamaal's statements made in the last one week. Soz is said to be gunning for Kamaal---telling Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's a... | |

| | | | Kamaal continues playing to gallery…….! | | Why is Congress tolerating his bashing spree ……? | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 2: National Conference's new spokesperson, a family man of Abdullahs continues to indulge in 'misadventures' by making statements , one after the other which are proving to be disastrous not only in the present political environment of the state but in particular to Congress as alliance partner of the ruling government. Not a naive or novice in politics Mustafa is uttering all what he has been ever since 'entrusted' with new job by the party high command , apparently to nourish his party's constituency in Kashmir . Congress too is not ignorant about the implications and negative fallout it can have on their constituency. The moot question remains why Congress... | |
| | | | Family rule tradition in NC is stronger than in PDP | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 2: When Mehbooba Mufti was elected unopposed on Monday as President of the main opposition PDP for the third consecutive time number of political leaders in the National Conference were quick to treat it,in private,as nothing but a symbol of dynastic or family rule in the organisation.
A senior NC leader said that ever since the PDP was established in Kashmir in 1999 it has been headed by either Mufti Mohd.Sayeed or by his daughter,Mebooba.But the same NC leader's face flushed when he was reminded if there has been any political party that has perpetuated dynastic or family rule it is the National Conference.
Since 1939,when the National Conference was estab... | |

Srinagar, Nov 2 : It is both unfortunate and dangerous that after having failed on all fronts, the ruling NC has now embarked on a vilification campaign against the army forgetting that it is because of the colossal sacrifices made by the officers and the jawans of the army the present peace has become possible in the State.
Amid the debate over revocation of AFSPA, NC Rajya Sabha member Ghulam Nabi Ratanpuri today alleged there were "rogue elements" present in the army who want to operate outside the law.
"Army has done a good job (in Jammu and Kashmir) but there are rogue elements everywhere and army is not an exception," Ratanpuri told reporters on the sidelines o... | |

Jammu, Nov 2:Even as State Government repeatedly claims clean and corruption free administration viz a viz not to extend any undue favour whatsoever to any individual employee, alleged political patronage enjoyed by some officials completely negates that assertion and intention of the government.
The surfacing of misappropriation of food grains worth Rs 8.55 lakh meant for supply to the families living Below Poverty Line (BPL) in Samba district could also be attributed to the alleged political patronage being enjoyed by the Tehsil Supply Officer (TSO) of Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution (CAPD) department.

| | | | Jammu and Kashmir can't live together | | AFSPA Controversy | | | Neha
JAMMU, Nov 2: The ongoing fierce debate on the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) once again establishes that the people of Jammu province can't live with the Kashmiri leadership. The people of Jammu province stand for empowerment and a dispensation that enables them to manage and administer their own socio-economic and politico-administrative affairs themselves unhindered and independent of Kashmir. There should be no doubt it. It is also clear that the people of Jammu province, who have consistently suffered at the hands of the Kashmir-centric and Valley-based leadership during all these 64 years of accession, want to link their political fate with India, for better for worse, ... | |

JAMMU, Nov 2: The October 31 statement of NC additional general secretary and chief spokesperson Sheikh Mustafa Kamal that the Congress should set its house in order as the factional fight within the Congress party was adversely impacting the governance of the state had created an impression that his attitude as well as the attitude of the NC towards their coalition partner had perhaps changed. It was a wrong impression. He was not committed to what he had said, notwithstanding the fact that what he said was nothing but a naked and unwanted interference in the internal matters of the Congress party. As expected, the Congress reacted very sharply and warned Kamal not to poke his dirt... | |
