Jammu, Feb 25: In what could be seen as cornering the coalition government with 'political arrows' over the issue of corruption Senior PDP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffar Hussain Baigh used his oratory abilities in making accusations which 'provoked' the ruling NC and its leadership to counter accuse him of having 'intent' to create 'wedges' between the alliance partners. Taking a dig, Baigh accused Chief Minister Abdullah of having adopted different yardsticks in tackling the cases of corruption against three ministers, two of them belonging to Congress and one to NC, contending it only reflected bias of protecting the minister of his own party. Baigh hit out directly at the Omar led government that despite so many cases having come to fore, both CM ... | |

| | | | Governor's speech bundle of lies, government selective in fund allocations- Nizamudin Bhat | | Make Interlocutors report public-Hakim Yasin | | | Bashir Assad
JAMMU, Feb 25: While participating in discussion on motion of Thanks on governor's address, PDP legislator Nizamudin described the speech "pretentious" which according to him bore no touch with the ground realities.
"It looks shallow when it is compared to the testimony on ground and the arithmetic figures have been projected in a way as if we are not a debt ridden state, for any Englishman, the paper (governor's address) is worth research" said Nizamudin Bhat. Bhat said that Governor has mingled the people with "false" details.
Substantiating this he drew an example on government's claim for inclusive social vision with equitable distribution of funds and refuted it... | |
| | | | Opposition of Jammu Congress MLAs to BJP demand intriguing | | Separate Budgets | | | Neha
JAMMU, Feb 25: BJP MLA from Jammu East Assembly constituency Ashok Khajuria has opined that if equitable development of all the three regions of the state is to be ensured and discrimination with the people of Jammu province and Ladakh region ended, then there has to be three separate budgets, one each for Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. There is but one way in which equitable development of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh could be ensured and menace of discrimination ended and that is by passing three different budgets for three different regions was the upshot of his whole argument. Not to concede this demand would force the BJP to demand separation from Kashmir, Khajuria also said. He put for... | |

| | | | Let seven BJP MLAs quit Assembly to show their worth in fresh poll | | | | ET Report
JAMMU, Feb 25: Whether under the anti-defection law, that is in force in Jammu and Kashmir, or under normal political procedure once a member or members of the state Assembly belonging to a political party are suspended or expelled from their parent organisation on charge of defying the party whip by indulging in cross voting during the legislative council election the member or the members are supposed to quit the Assembly and seek fresh election.

| | | | Will the NC-Cong govt withstand the opposition onslaught ? | | Budget Session | | | Rustam
JAMMU, Feb 25: As expected, the opposition parties have upped their ante and launched a blistering attack on the NC-Congress coalition government. If what the opposition parties did in and outside the legislature on the first two days of the budget session is any indication, then it can be said without any hesitation that the government is destined to face heat throughout the session.
The main opposition PDP cornered the government on both days and leveled serious charges of corruption, nepotism and highhandedness. It created troubles for the government in both the Houses. In the Lower House, the ruling parties utterly failed to counter the PDP attack on those allegedly involved in... | |
