Jammu | Apr 24
Joint control, dual currency and a long list of other slogans put the Congress peeving situation but Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad had been maintaining a silence on how to react to the Peoples Democratic Party’s political adventures.
Breaking his silence, Azad today mocked at the PDP leaders for selling imaginations to the people for garnering support in elections. "Koyi idhar se udhar nahi jaayega, na koyi udhar se idhar aayega" Azad said while explaining that nothing is going to happen the way PDP has been projecting things.
Without actually naming the PDP, the Chief Minister made an elaborate dissection of these political slogans and said that all this was being done to woo the voters. He cautioned people against political parties and groups misleading them with hollow slogans. He said all this was done to garner votes. However, he said, these gimmicks were sure to backfire as people were now intelligent enough to see through these.

This is indicated by the way the APHC has plans of holding silent protest march on April 25 when Dr Manmohan Singh is scheduled to reach Jammu... | |

Jammu | Apr 24
Replying a barrage salvos fired by the Peoples Democratic Party for committing ideological comprises, the National Conference today came, for first time, with a plausible reason on why it joined the BJP in 1998 despite being on the opposite poles.
The PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has for the first few days been putting the National Conference in an embarrassing and piquant situation by brandishing the party as power hungry and selling aspirations of the people for retaining power. The NC, however, continued to make counter allegations instead of clearing its stand on joining hands with the BJP at Center.
However, for the first time the National Conf... | |
