| Only 100 professionals among DD's 5000 "private producers" | | What happened to Rs 1000 Cr Delhi sent for fighting Pakistan's propaganda | | | Ahmed Ali Fayyaz
EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, June 2: Total number of genuine private producers and media professionals has been between 50 to 100 even as successive heads of Doordarshan Kendra (DDK) Srinagar and DD Kashir recognized as many as 5,000 people as "producers" in the last 20 years. It became a free-for-all charity when vested interests discovered that New Delhi was pumping tons of the taxpayers' money in the name of "fighting Pakistan's propaganda on Kashmir". Soon the heads of the two channels realized that there was absolutely no accountability. Result was a large scale loot-and-scoot. New Delhi conveniently shut her eyes to rampant loot of the state exchequer, underplaying everything under the smokescreen of "national interest".
It was only when complaints heaped up that Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), DD's in-house vigilance and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) swung into action from time to time. Irregularities and embezzlements were established in almost all the complaints but nobody was ever punished. Officials in Prasar Bharti, DD, Ministry of Inform... | |

EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, June 2: Indira Gandhi not only imposed wartime restrictions on the civil liberties and gagged the press, but she also committed a blunder at Shimla in 1972 by making Kashmir a party to the Kashmir issue. Before 1972, Pakistan was considered as an aggressor, but after the infamous Shimla Agreement Pakistan came to be known as a party to the Kashmir issue. She converted the spectacular victory in the battlefield into a humiliating diplomatic defeat. She could have resolved the issue in 1972 because over 90,000 Pakistani soldiers, including generals, had laid down their arms before the chivalrous Indian Army. But she didn't do that. Instead, she complicated t... | |
