SRINAGAR, June 10: Elevation of former Union Health Minister and senior Congress leader, Ghulam Nabi Azad as leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha has pushed the Congress party to the wall since there is no leader other than Azad who can be projected as Chief Ministerial candidate of the party in the Assembly elections of the state.
Azad, who served as Chief Minister of the state between 2005 and 2008 was considered to be the ultimate choice of Congress party as its Chief Ministerial candidate for the Assembly elections slated to be held in October-November this year. However, his 'selection' as leader of opposition in the upper house in Parliament has put the Congress lea... | |
| | | | New Delhi to focus attention on Jammu, Ladakh | | Paradigm shift in Kashmir policy | | | Neha
JAMMU, June 10: Reports emanating from the New Delhi's all powerful South Block suggest that there will be a paradigm shift in the Kashmir policy and that Jammu and Ladakh, which were virtually considered irrelevant by the earlier dispensations at the Centre, would get their legitimate due share as part and parcel of the state. The report also suggest that the "Centre's new Kashmir plan, contrary to general perception, will not be restricted to rehabilitation of (Kashmiri) Pandits but go much beyond" and that "there will be a paradigm shift in Kashmir policy, with significant strategic and political aspects".

| | | | Hyped employment initiative "UDAAN" crash lands! | | | | Bivek Mathur

| | | | Omar makes Iqbal churn in grave | | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, June 10: Allama Iqbal must have taken some painful churns in his grave today when Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah quoted one of his famous verses while addressing people at Khag, Beerwah and Magam.
"Surat-e-shamsheer hai dastey qaza main woh qoum ----- Karti hai jo har zaman apney amal ka hisaab." This verse is not meant for people who believe in electoral politics, or to put it plainly who play petty politics.
Anyway, Iqbal has been widely misunderstood especially in the sub-continent and Omar's `sin' is not, therefore, unpardonable. Iqbal will not lose his greatness if petty politicians use his poetry for their cheap goals.
Omar also quoted another verse ... | |
| | | | Congress keeps options open for post-poll alliance | | 'Department not a party' | | |
Rustam
JAMMU, June 10: The Congress is a "department instead of a party wherein vested interests have damaged the very vitals". "The Congress is a leeches on our (NC) body, but we do not rule out forming the next government with it if the need so arises". "The Congress is opportunist". "There are power hungry people in the state Congress and they can do anything in lieu of chair even if the same is against the principal stand of the party".
Who made these highly derogatory statements against the Congress and why, where and when? Obviously, it was NC additional general secretary and Farooq Abdullah's younger brother Mustafa Kamaal who made these statements. He lambasted the Congress a... | |

| | | | Slow recruitment mars career of unemployed youth | | | | Shakeel A Khan
SRINAGAR, June 10: The slow process of recruitment in Jammu Kashmir ruins the career of the youth. This is what most of the unemployed youth of the state believe.
The people in power perhaps have no idea as the number of job aspirants is about to cross the one million mark. "Making statements regarding the relaxation in upper age limit is not going to benefit the hundreds of thousands of unemployed youth of the state. This all is aimed at silencing the voices of the concerned unemployed youth," said Malik Javaid from Srinagar while talking to EARLY TIMES.
