| | | | Sopore encounter proves militancy is far from over | | | | Early Times Report
srinagar, Dec 20: The Sopore encounter in which six LeT militants were killed by the security forces has thrown up some serious questions which must be answered before the State Government harps on the tune of normalcy having returned to the Valley.

Sadapora village is situated barely 3 kilometres away from Sopore town. The houses from which the holed up militants engaged the security forces in a sustained encounter for over 10 hours are situated close to the highway. This puts a question mark on the assertion that the numbe... | |

srinagar, Dec 20: After the news about current year's topper in Higher Judicial examination came to fore, many appointments made since 1996 have also come under scanner.
Like the current year's topper in judicial examination, Government servants with past militant links want to be treated at par with the candidates who got the CID verification.

He even lost one of his hands in a blast. He is currently posted in North Kashmir where militants are trying their best to revive militancy.

| | | | Results of assembly elections in Gujarat to impact national political scene | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 20: Results of assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh are out. The Congress has won in HP and got just one seat more than the required magic figure. It could be described as a victory by default in the sense that it was the election strategists of the BJP who handed over the state to the Congress on a platter. Had the BJP contained dissidence in the party and accommodated the potential rebels within the party, it would have retained control over the state power. It would not be out of place to mention here that while four of the BJP rebel candidates have won, at least half a dozen of other rebel candidates marred the electoral prospects of the par... | |

Jammu, Dec 20: Some Congress leaders from Jammu, including MP Jammu-Poonch parliamentary constituency, met the Union Home Minister and Prime Minister on December 18 and 19, respectively, in New Delhi and urged them to recognize the fundamental right of the 1947 refugees from West Pakistan (mostly those belonging to depressed classes) to exercise all normal civil and political rights which are available to all the Indians across the country.

They only played a ga... | |
