| | | | Amarnath Board loosing propaganda war | | | | early times report
Jammu , June 13 : Amarnath Shrine Board in its propaganda approach to establish that yatra couldn't start before June 25, as announced by it, has taken a cue from Nazi's propaganda minister Goebbels, who established the theory that even if a lie is told hundred times, some people will take it as truth.
The Jewish propaganda minister was instrumental in releasing fabricated and heroic picture of German army to raise the moral of the people, at a time when Germans were facing defeat.
The Board, truly knowing that it can win logical war, is using propaganda of releasing morphed and doctored pictures to show that since there is heavy snowfall and the yatra can't be t... | |

| | | | Punjab Civic Polls: Yet another humiliating defeat of Congress | | Plight Of Cong In Jammu | | | NEHA
JAMMU, June 13: The so-called Indian National Congress (INC), which was founded by the Britons in December 1885 at Mumbai with the help of 72 Indians, all believers in the British sense of justice, to defeat the Indian freedom struggle, has been facing defeat after defeat since 2010. It suffered massive defeat in the assembly elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Bihar last year and it could win just one seat more as compared to the left front in Kerala. Assam was the only state where it performed well. Not because it was popular but because of the fractured opposition and other local factors. The Congress suffered a massive defeat in all the by-elections, barring in a couple of co... | |
| | | | No taker for Hurriyat leaders in Kashmir | | Secessionist Movement | | | RUSTAM
JAMMU, June 13: People of Kashmir, especially Srinagar, the hub of all activities, deserve kudos. Why? because they yesterday showed the Hurriyat leaders their rightful place by boycotting them and demonstrating their urge for peace in the Valley. What happened yesterday in the ever busy and over-crowded heart of Srinagar city was not something ordinary; it was something extraordinary; something that must have rattled the vested interests, who had been roaming about as "freedom fighters" in Kashmir and elsewhere in the country since years. It is doubtful if the authorities in New Delhi have taken any cognizance of the yesterday's development in Srinagar. New Delhi is New Delhi and i... | |
