| | | | Rather Panel plays safe as Interlocutors talk autonomy | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 28: While New Delhi's nominated interlocutors on Jammu Kashmir are doing most of the talking on autonomy, Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah has been maintaining `mysterious' silence over the issue for the past several months.
In July the Prime Minister assured a full term to Omar Abdullah in office. Some quarters believe the term was given only when Omar assured New Delhi that he will not press for restoration of autonomy. But this turned out to be `political grapevine'. But soon after the Chief Minister formed the Rather Panel, the NC went silent on autonomy issue.
On October 13 last year the state government referred Late Justice Sageer's (Retd) recommen... | |

| | | | Anna protested and fasted to conquer the corrupt | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 28: He came. He protested and fasted for 13 days. To be precise he fasted for 288 hours. He is none other than the Gandhian Anna Hazare who could sustain 13 days' fast because he rode on a wave of peoples' unflinching support.
While breaking the fast he did not say "it is my victory." He said "it is the victory of people." Can one disagree with those who say that during the last 13 days the country had been experiencing unprecedented Anna wave. Mark the intensity of the wave by watching one woman, belonging to a middle class family in Maharashtra, committing suicide when she harboured fears that the Government may not concede Anna's demands.

It is our foremost duty to set the record straight
for our esteemed readers to whom we owe the
success of Early Times in such a short period of time.
