Jammu, Mar 10: The Chief Minister, it seems, has not learnt a lesson from his mistakes. A few days after Osama bin Laden's killing, Omar said detaining Geelani was a mistake. "I will not make him a hero again", he said. Geelani was allowed to proceed to Batmaloo where he led a poorly attended funeral prayer (in absentia) for slain Osama.
"Geelani was allowed to reach Batmaloo Friday to lead funeral of Osama with a purpose. Had we stopped him, he would say that thousands of people would have assembled to participate in the prayers."
Inspite of being a strong bastion of Geelani, the funeral prayers attracted a few hundred persons. In 2010, the government was scared o... | |

JAMMU, Mar 10: Jammu & Kashmir is an integral part of the Indian political system, whatever it is. The only difference is that while the adult population in the rest of the country elects governments every five years, here the electorate exercises this right once in six years. In 1975, the Indira Gandhi-led Congress government enhanced the life of the Lok Sabha and the assemblies from five to six years after amending the constitution, an extreme step aimed at retaining an office which was slipping out of her hands. The National Conference Government followed suit and enhanced the life of the assembly. In 1977-78, the Janata Party government of Morarji Desai did away with the amendment... | |
| | | | Congress losing its hold across the country, including J&K | | National Scene | | | Rustam
JAMMU, Mar 10: Will the Congress win the next general elections and form government at the centre third time in a row? If the today's national scene is any indication, then it can be safely said that the Congress is out to bite dust across the country, that the BJP would emerge as the single largest party and that a number of major states would vote for regional parties.

The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) is ruling Or... | |
