| 'My father's brother putting me in a difficult situation' | | Omar's Grouse Or Part Of Strategy.....? | | | Neha
JAMMU, Nov 3: "Dr (Sheikh Mustafa) Kamaal is not only a senior leader of our party (NC) but he also happens to (be) my father's (Farooq Abdullah's) brother. His statements against army and Congress put me in a very difficult situation. I have told my father several times to advise Dr Kamaal not to issue such statements. He can criticise the opposition and separatists but not army and our coalition partner". Who used this what could be legitimately described as impolite language against Kamaal? The nephew and chief minister Omar Abdullah used this impolite language. Does what he said indicate his utter contempt for his uncle? On the face of it, yes he has utter contempt for his uncle. With whom did he share his feelings? He shared these feelings yesterday with Burkha Dutt of the NDTV 24X7, who flew to Srinagar the other day to interview him and know his views on the AFSPA and where did he go wrong.
Should we agree with what Omar Abdullah said in the interview? It is difficult to agree with him. For, it appears both the chief minister, Omar Abdullah, and his uncle, Mustafa Kama... | |

| Desperate attempt to hoodwink and mislead Congress | | Farooq's Advice To Kamaal Meaningless | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 3: NC president and Union Minister for Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah's today's statement that Mustafa Kamaal "has been advised to exercise restraint and follow the party policy line on all issues, particularly those pertaining to the policies of the coalition government, relationship with the Congress party, AFSPA and the role of the Army" is as meaningless as it is misleading. It appears to be a desperate attempt on his part to hoodwink the Congress and deflect its attention from the real issue and ensure that his son Omar Abdullah rules the roost for a full term of six years. The real issue is that Kamaal has as the NC general secretary and its chief spok... | |
| | | | UP sufferings pain Rahul but chooses to shut eyes in J&K ….! | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 3: Congress General Secretary, Rahul Gandhi , the iconic leader who is being projected as country's future Prime Minister, it appears has different yardsticks and parametres in guaging problems and assessing the gravity of the political situation in two different states. For he is quite alert and active to what he sees in a state like UP and simply shuts his eyes in a sensitive state like J&K, no matter the severity and sensitibilties of the issues are far grave in this state.
It looks paradoxical when he says he is pained to see the people of Uttar Pradesh in distress. Up is a state where he tours and travels very often and therefore one can understand ... | |

| | | | Mr Kamaal, the so-called Delhi Agreement was also not signed | | Congress The Problem | | | Rustam
JAMMU, Nov 3: "Something is fundamentally wrong with the NC additional general secretary and chief spokesperson Sheikh Mustafa Kamaal. He is making statements which indicate his utter disregard for facts. He has turned so unreasonable and ungrateful that he is abusing the Congress leadership and the Congress party almost everyday. The Congress, according to him, is the problem. He is abusing the Congress and, at the same time, defending alliance with it saying the NC entered into an alliance with the Congress in the interest of the people. It also seems that Kamaal, like many other NC leaders, has gone totally frustrated and clueless. His statements do make even the naive to conclud... | |
