| Autonomy, Separatists, Pakistan, Jammu & Kashmiri Hindus | | Jammu & Kashmir in the words of Padgaonkar | | | Rustam
JAMMU, Dec 30: "I had said during my first visit to Kashmir that we would want to meet separatists. We would want to talk with them. They should tell when and where we should we meet and with what conditions? But they didn't respond, despite our repeated suggestions to this effect. Then, they told us to invite them formally. We sent letters to each and every separatist leader, but none of them replied. Now when people say that we didn't meet them my response would be that they should ask the separatists, and not us. We tried our level best but with no result. I also know why didn't the separatists talk to us? In my view they didn't come forward for discussions because whatever they do they do it as per the wishes of Pakistan. Those who came forward for negotiations without the concurrence of or at the behest of Pakistan they were murdered. Last year, Abdul Gani Bhat candidly acknowledged that we had leveled serious charges against the Indian army, including the charge of murder, but those were false charges. The Kashmiris had killed them (separatists). Then the brother of B... | |

| | | | Should party stop taking people of Jammu for granted……? | | 2011 fateful year for BJP | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 30: Notwithstanding the bold face and tall claims it continues to make even in hard times, 2011 has been a fateful year for state unit of BJP that witnessed many unpleasant political developments for almost entire year. From a buoyed mood and spirits of noteworthy strength of 11 in the House gained through 2008 'game changer' Assembly polls, the party is now reduced to paltry four MLAs in the House, others having been disqualified by the High Command. More importantly, the party has lost the trust and confidence of the people which the latter reposed during 2008 polls, all for the sake of Jammu cause, only to be reciprocated in just reverse mode.

JAMMU, Dec 30: "Today is the black day in the parliamentary history of India. The Congress murdered democracy in midnight, like the UPA Government murdered democracy in the midnight nearly six months ago by unleashing a reign of senseless brutalities against Baba Ramdev and his followers, including women and children, who had gathered at Ramlila Maidan, Delhi, to force the Congress and the UPA to adopt measures aimed at bringing back to India black money stashed in foreign banks. What the Congress did today was worse than what Indira Gandhi did while imposing emergency in the country in 1975. The Congress today blackened it face beyond recognition and the people of India will teach le... | |
| | | | Minibuses swerve in choicest directions, "no" traffic rules for them on city roads | | | | Bharat Bhushan
JAMMU, Dec 30: Minibuses can swerve in the choicest directions and stop in the middle of any city road here to pick and drop commuters but no traffic cop is ever seen taking legal action against them. While their operators do so, several others are put to inconvenience.
Most of the traffic jams on the congested city roads here are caused because of them. When they stop in the middle of the road to pick, or drop a commuter, a long queue of other vehicles is formed behind it. The blaring car horns have no impact on them. No helpless car operator can move forward till the minibus gets to a side.
Even as traffic police cops are omnipresent on the city roads, minibus operators... | |
