EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, Dec 6: Hurriyat hawk Syed Ali Shah Geelani today made a counter scathing attack on the National Conference supremo Dr Farooq Abdullah and dismissed him, his entire dynasty and political party (NC) as the "real traitors and backstabbers of Kashmiris". He claimed that Jammu & Kashmir would not have been under "Indian occupation" today if Sheikh Abdullah, his progeny and NC would not have stood by New Delhi during the defining moments in 1947, 1975, 1996 and 2008.
In his fiery reaction to the speeches delivered by the NC top brass at Sheikh Abdullah's mausoleum at Hazratbal on Sunday, Geelani held Dr Farooq Abdullah, his dynasty and party responsible for Jammu & Kashmir's miseries and political uncertainty over the last 63 years. He asserted that simply for his hegemony and New Delhi's good humour, Sheikh Abdullah converted the Muslim Conference into the secular National Conference in 1938.

| | | | Omar is leader of LA, Rather leader of opposition! | | JK's official website is off the net | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Dec 6: Omar Abdullah is the leader of the Legislative Assembly and Abdul Rahim Rather is the leader of opposition. A website legislativebodiesinindia.nic.in/J&K.htm gives this misinformation.

Some persons who failed to make it to the house in 2008 elections still exist as members of the house. This means the departm... | |

It is an irony that Jammu, which ruled over Kashmi... | |
