| One yr on, curtains yet to unfold over 'real actors' for floor management | | Cross Voting scam in J&K | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 6: Nearly one year on, the cross voting scam that rocked the state politics during Legislative Council polls continues to remain a mystery with only BJP High command claiming to have 'identified' the 'culprits' and according to their own set of parameters in doing so, they have taken whatever action they deemed proper. The ball certainly doesn't stop there , no matter other parties have washed off their hands and maintained an intriguing silence over the whole 'money game' .
When the issue rocked the state last year in April, the political parties including those in ruling coalition first chose to maintain 'intriguing' silence for at least few days but wh... | |

JAMMU, Feb 6: Though spasmodic attempts have been made from time to time to reform J&K police and make it people-friendly, many of its officers continue to make the misuse of khaki while dealing with public and their own men.
In one such incident that came as a surprise to many in the state police circles, the inhumane police face was exposed when a probationary sub-inspector (PSI) today beat up a driver of the CID wing of state police so badly that his front tooth was broken.
What makes the incident noteworthy and shocking is that it has been committed by a PSI who has just passed out from PTA, Udhampur, where the under trainees are taught to respect law and not to take l... | |

| | | | NC's decline in Rajouri worries Farooq | | | | Sumit Bhargav
rajouri, Feb 6: Once considered a bastion of National Conference (NC), Rajouri has disappointed former Chief Minister and Patron of NC. Farooq recently said that he was totally upset with the position of party in Rajouri. While the District President, Bashir Ahmad Wani has his own reasons for the decline, supporters have other reasons to worry about.
NC's decline in the border district has been ascribed to a variety of reasons. Senior leaders like Chowdhury Talib Husain, Chowdhury Muhammad Husain, Mirza Abdul Rashid and Bashir Lone were very active not only in Rajouri but at the state level. The NC flourished during those times in the district. However, these senior leaders ... | |

| | | | PDP refutes NC's claims | | | | Early Times Report

PDP spokesman said that party workers are united under the leadership of ... | |
| | | | Naib Sarpanch joins NC, Rs one lakh for development | | | | ET Report
Jammu, Feb 6: The cruel joke in democratic set up is complete when a Naib Sarpanch of Panchayat Khanpur in Nagrota assembly constituency has joined the NC and it terms it a great victory.
A press release full of every set of 'applauding adjectives' for the NC leadership was issued today further claiming that after joining the NC the Naib Sarpanch has also criticized the "divisive politics of the PDP aiming at grabbing power and unleashing false propaganda".
However the press release fails to serve its purpose as it falls under its own weight. Who is indulging in divisive politics by claiming a Naib Sarpanch joining the NC as a great victory?
Interestingly, the NC Provincial P... | |

Jammu, Feb 6: 2nd additional sessions judge Subash C Gupta today awarded life imprisonment to SP Sewak Singh and his PSO Satpal Singh alias TT for committing the murder of PSI Ajay Gupta.
Awarding the sentence, the judge observed that going by the facts and circumstances of the case, certainly irresistible conclusion could be drawn that the murder, as committed by Satpal Singh, seemed to be the outcome of the criminal conspiracy between him and Sewak Singh. Earlier enmity between Sewak and Ajay Gupta was the reason behind the hatching of the criminal conspiracy for eliminating the PSI. They were as such considered menace to the family of the victim and not to the society as a wh... | |
| | | | Rahul, Priyanka misleading voters to capture UP | | Congress and Jammu | | | Neha
Jammu, Feb 6: AICC president and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi's son Rahul Gandhi and daughter Priyanka Gandhi - who together have established their stranglehold over the Congress party -- have been campaigning in Utter Pradesh to capture power. Sonia Gandhi is also doing the same. One of their election planks - apart from promising religion-based reservation to the Muslims -- is vote the Congress party to power in the state so that the state government and the Congress government at the centre work in unison to "develop" the "underdeveloped" Uttar Pradesh. Their argument is that the state has suffered enormously during the past nearly 22 years because of the non-Congress rule. The Con... | |
| | | | Is Jammu & Kashmir part of the so-called secular India? | | Refugees From West Pakistan - I | | | Rustam
Jammu, Feb 6: Is Jammu & Kashmir part of the national mainstream, as the Congress and similar other pseudo-secular organisations give the people to understand? Are the minorities safe in Jammu & Kashmir? What is the plight of the refugees inhabiting different parts of Jammu province, especially Jammu, Samba and Kathua districts? Jammu & Kashmir is not part of the national mainstream. It is one state which has its own politico-administrative and constitutional structure that is highly biased against the non-Muslim minorities and that has made the life of the minorities a veritable hell on earth. They are consistently oppressed, persecuted and ignored.
The fact of the matter is that ... | |
