| As Amarnath yatra starts, Jammu leaders let down yatris | | | |
Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 27: The annual Amarnath Yatra has started and first batch of pilgrims from Jammu has headed towards Baltal from where pilgrims will head towards cave shrine and the so called leaders have let down yatris.
These leaders were not there at the start of the yatra.
Those yatris who left Jammu towards Baltal were jumping and raising slogans in excitement of becoming the members of elite first batch of pilgrims. But they were duped by the leaders of Jammu, especially the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) MLAs who won the elections in 2008 only because of the Amarnath land row.
These leaders were nowhere in the picture on the start of the yatra as the Tourism Minister Ghulam Ahmad Mir had reached Jammu from Srinagar to flag off the yatra. These so called Jammu leaders, who were exposed by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah recently, were sleeping when the yatra was flagged off today early morning.
These leaders must put up papers before people of Jammu and apologies publicly that they have let down entire Jammu.
Meanwhile, the kind of scene state was witnessed sin... | |

SRINAGAR, June 27: National Conference, the oldest mainstream political party of the state is going through a critical phase these days as there is a virtual split among the workers of the party.
While the old workers are in favour of Dr. Farooq Abdullah being projected as Chief Ministerial candidate of the party a sizeable lot among the younger generation vouches for projecting Omar Abdullah as the CM candidate of the party. This clash of interests among the workers has virtually brought the older lot at loggerheads with the young lot of the party workers.
Sources told Early Times that Dr. Abdullah recently told Omar to manage the show himself since he has lost interest ... | |

| | | | Jammu, Ladakh could again punish Congress in Assembly polls | | Saga of broken promises | | | Rustam
JAMMU, June 27: The general view in Jammu and Ladakh is that it is the Congress party that has done more harm to the people of these two regions and that it has never honoured any of the commitments made in 2002 and 2008. This view is not ill-founded. Nor can it be termed as a manifestation of their bias against the Congress party.
Indeed, the Congress has never kept any of the promises it made to the people of Jammu and Ladakh in 2002 and 2008, despite the fact that it has been in power in the state since November 2, 2002. The people of Jammu province and Ladakh together return to the Assembly 41 members and, hence, they constitute one the two most important political factors in t... | |

"The focus of party right now is to achieve 'Mission 44+' and... | |
