Invest in J&K Bank to loose money
Early Times Report5/18/2012 11:00:46 AM
Jammu, May 17: If you had invested Rs 10000 on shares of J&K Bank a month ago, you would have lost Rs 45. The value of your investment would have dipped to Rs 9555. The share has been put in cold bracket by the leading financial consultant companies, impling that your investment will not yield any result. This is the state of affairs of the Bank, the premium financial institution of the State, which has 53 percent shares. The poor financial status of the bank stocks are also on account of the fact that it's been debarred from public scrutiny. The management is trying to hold its control over it despite the fact that it has been declared a Public Property by the State Information Commission. Shaken by this judgment of SIC, the bank has decided to approach High Court.The Bank has not been an open institution like other financial institutuions of the country. The chairman, whose appointment is though cleared by the RBI, is always made on the recommendations of the State. It has become a politicized post and the person who has been close to power of corridors are made chairman, so...

Who has gained popularity Mr Sadhotra?
Early Times Report5/18/2012 10:58:47 AM
Jammu, May 17 : Senior National Conference leader and MLC Ajay Sadhotra has accused Mufti Sayeed of failure to raise revenue to the tune of Rs. 50,000 crores from natural resources. He also accused Mufti of failure to implement his healing touch policy. Without advocating Mufti's cause here, it may be mentioned that National Conference has ruled the state for decades together. The NC governments never raised revenue from the natural resources sufficient to cater to the needs of the state. And, if NC could not do it in decades, how could Mufti do it in three years? On the contrary, loot and plunder of natural resources has always registered an increase whenever NC has ruled the state. ...

For six decades the Valley leadership has disregarded Jammu
Ignoring Jammu -- II
NEHA5/18/2012 10:58:16 AM
JAMMU, May 17: The people of Jammu Pradesh have been crying for justice, particularly since 1952, when under the banner of Praja Parishad they not only demanded their due in the state's polity, but also arrest of Sheikh Abdullah, the then Prime Minister of J&K. In 1967, they launched an organized struggle against what they called the "Kashmiri domination". The two organizations which were in the forefront were Jammu Autonomy Forum and Dogra Mandal. While the former demanded autonomy for Jammu within the state, the latter advocated the need for its separation from Kashmir. Earlier in 1965, former Sadar-e-Riyasat, Karan Singh, had also mooted the idea of Jammu's segregation from Kashmir and...

Professor Bhat only renewed Hurriyat's call for "realism"
Early Times Report5/18/2012 10:56:58 AM
Srinagar, May17: Politics is the art of possibility and former chairman of Hurriyat Conference professor Abdul Gani Bhat seems to know it all. The man whom other separatists projected as an alien and "a man from nowhere" is calling the shots leaving his companions with no option other than to react to his off and on assertions. Though Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has been the most known and highly mobile face of the conglomerate but professor Bhat's innocuous assertion that UN resolutions cannot be implemented for resolving Kashmir issue in view of the prevailing situation in the sub-continent and around the globe has brought him at the centre of the controversy with Mirwaiz and opponents of Bhat ...

Kashmiri Hindus have suffered for many years
Demand For Homeland
RUSTAM5/18/2012 10:47:51 AM
JAMMU, May 17: The Kashmiri Hindu organizations like Panun Kashmir (PK) have been reiterating again and again since 1991 their demand that "four per cent of the area of Kashmir, north-east of the Jhelum, be earmarked for the establishment of a homeland for the over 3,00,000 internally-displaced Kashmiri Hindus" and that "this area be given the status of Union Territory". The upshot of the arguments advanced by the PK leaders in favour of their demand all along has been that the Kashmiri Hindus will under no condition make common cause with those who call for the state's separation from India or the restoration of the pre-1953 position and that the permanent solution to the problems being fa...
