Jammu, June 29: Even as Chief Minister Omar Abdullah extended his support to UPA Presidential nominee Pranab Mukherjee soon after his name was announced formally on June 15, making the message loud that his party would follow coalition dharma being in alliance with Congress in the state, his government has shelved all major political decisions in the state on account of which many vital matters have piled up . The 'standstill' scenario with such matters pending final nod and approval of both the coalition partners would continue till July 19 when Presidential polls are scheduled.

JAMMU, June 29: The Cong high command is likely to announce the name of Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) next week. According to party sources, Prof Saif ud-din Soz is likely to be re-appointed the head of the State unit of the party.

| | | | Not only Laila but her compatriot and top militant | | Irfan too had wide network of contacts at Kishtwar | | | BHARAT BHUSHAN
JAMMU, June 29: Not only Pak national and Bollywood starlet Laila Khan but her compatriot Mohammad Irfan alias Anwar alias Romesh -- a top militant -- too had a wide network of contacts in the J&K's mountain-locked Kishtwar area.
While Laila, who went missing over an year ago and was said to be hiding in Dubai on a fake passport, is wanted by Indian security agencies for her alleged links with Dawood Ibrahim, Irfan had caused serial bomb blasts at M A Stadium here on January 26, 1995, resulting in the death of several people. K V Krishna Rao, who was the J&K governor that time, had a providential escape.
Laila's Outlander car was recovered from a shop, that had not been op... | |
| | | | Restrictions are bad but stone pelting is worse | | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, June 29: Downtown Srinagar city has been under curfew-like restrictions for four consecutive days.
The hardships of the people living in these areas are understandable and there is no denying the fact that imposition of restrictions under section 144 CrPc is always an extreme measure which the administration must be constrained to resort to in order to maintain law and order.
State government has come in for some hard criticism for imposing these restrictions and the criticism has been mainly from the Kashmiri separatist leaders. While nobody can deny the fact that responsibility of protection and security of the shrine of Peer Dastgeer Sahib at Khanyar was p... | |
| | | | Is the attitude of IFO changing? | | Brussels Meet | | | RUSTAM
JAMMU, June 29: Is the attitude of Indian Foreign Office (IFO) towards those who advocate greater autonomy (read quasi-independence), self-rule (read India-Pakistan joint control over Jammu & Kashmir) and those who stand for the mind-boggling 1975 accord between an individual Sheikh Abdullah and the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi undergoing a change? Has the IFO finally decided not to allow any Indian to go abroad to take part in seminars on Jammu & Kashmir?
Although it is very difficult to answer these straight questions, yet one can take risk and say yes. One can afford to take risk in the light of the very positive decision of the IFO not to allow the protagonists of g... | |
| | | | PM's employment package: Confusion prevails | | Age relaxation announcement brings no cheer to KP aspirants | | | early times report
Jammu, June 29: The NC led coalition government today came out with one more sop in favour of Kashmiri migrants claiming concessions to its youth by granting age relaxation of three years in the government jobs under PM's package pending for many years. However, instead of bringing any jubilation and accolades the announcement made by two ministers in the winter secretariat today has only added to confusion which prevails with the employment package being implemented by the state government in piece meals. The age relaxation concession is being largely seen as 'useless' , at least not for those who have completed their education years back and have been waiting to be ad... | |

JAMMU, June 29: Delhi-based High Commission for Pakistan is openly interfering in the internal affairs of India. No, it is giving dangerous respectability to secessionists and bigots like Syed Ali Shah Geelani, who doesn't represent even the people of Kashmir. How else would one interpret the invitation extended to Geelani by High Commission for Pakistan for talks with Pakistan Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani ahead of the Foreign Secretary-level meeting to be held in New Delhi on July 4 and 5? Jilani would be in Delhi on July 4 and 5. He and his Indian counterpart Ranjan Mathai will hold discussions on peace and security, Jammu & Kashmir and the so-called confidence-building meas... | |
