| | | | Is Congress a democratic party? | | ‘Decision shall be taken by high command’ | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 16: Congress happens to be the party of the freedom movement. It also happens to be the largest political party in India. But is it really democratic?
Although Congress leaders and workers boast of owing allegiance to the most democratic party of the country but its history narrates a different story. Since independence, the leadership of the party has remained in the Nehru family. After Nehru, it was Indira Gandhi and then Rajiv Gandhi. After, Rajiv's tragic death in 1991, Madam Sonia Gandhi took over the reins of the party and now Rahul Gandhi is being groomed for the future.
National Conference has been accused of taking policy decisions in the `kitchen... | |

| | | | PML leader Amina has no moral right to speak for neglected Gilgit-Baltistan | | CDR Controversial Dialogue On J&K | | | Rustam
JAMMU, Dec 16: A number of motivated persons from Paki-stan, the so-called Azad Kas-hmir and Gilgit-Baltistan region took part in the three-day-long "civil society" dialogue on Jammu & Kashmir. The dialogue took place in one of the costliest Jammu hotels and about five dozen "delegates" took part in it. It is har-dly necessary to again refer to the themes of discussion in which certain very-carefully-selected persons took part and spoke. Suff-ice to say that one of the the-mes of the deb-ate was "Mult-iple Stakeholders". It should clear all the doubts and establish that the motive of the organizer - Centre for Dialogue and Reconcil-iation (CDR) - was not noble.
