J&K Babus do not care much about legislative sanctity, says report
7/30/2012 11:33:50 PM
Syed Junaid Hashmi Jammu, July 30: Putting a question mark on sanctity of Legislative Assembly, committee on Government assurances has virtually condemned the State Bureaucracy for showing causal approach towards the fulfillment of commitments made on the floor of the House by Ministers of the ruling coalition. The report for the year 2011-12 maintains that customary approach of State Government towards assurances given on the floor of house is awful and contrary to significance that Legislative Assembly holds for the legislators and even commoners. The report blatantly puts the entire blame on the IAS and KAS officers serving at various positions in the State Government. It has stressed that none of the departments in State Government show enthusiasm towards addressing the concern of legislators on various issues for which the ministers might have assured action on the floor of the house. It further says that response of State Government to some very sensitive issues raised by public representatives has been unsatisfactory. Report goes on to pronounce that Babus in civil secr...

7/30/2012 11:33:15 PM
Early Times Report Jammu, July 30: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has won many admirers for his stand on Armed Forces Special powers Act (AFSPA). However, knowledgeable quarters have criticized Omar for his contradictory views. According to them, Omar wants impunity under AFSPA to go but by talking about Truth and Reconciliatory Commission, he actually intends to confer impunity to the perpetrators in a refined form.

When the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) shocked the Government by its recommendations on unmarked and mass graves, Omar again talked about TRC.

Presidential polls strategy by 7 BJP MLAs a 'conciliatory gesture' …?
'Re entry' move resisted by RSS, a section of leaders
7/30/2012 11:33:03 PM
Early Times Report Jammu, July 30: Even as the support extended to Presidential candidate PA Sangma by the group of 7 legislators in BJP led by veteran politician Prof Chaman Lal Gupta was seen as a strategy to toe the line of Central leadership, the political move may not fetch immediate dividends to the legislators in terms of their strong 'urge and aspiration' to come back into the party fold in a dignified manner. According to sources the move taken well in time, in fact much ahead of the group of four legislators in terms of announcing formal support to the NDA nominee by the group led by Prof Gupta was indeed a 'conciliatory gesture' that could pave way for their 're-entry' into...
