JAMMU, Sept 24: In case the Panthers Party bill on setting up a fresh delimitation commission is tabled in the state Assembly, during its brief session commencing in Srinagar from September 26, the ghost of regional discrimination may haunt the state again.

In fact the working chairman of the Panthers party, Harsh Dev Singh, has been trying to table the Bill on delimitation commission in the state Assembly for a long time but everytime it d... | |

| | | | Appeal to Hon'ble speaker by Shri Chaman Lal Gupta BJP MLA | | | | Sir,
I had raised a question during the last session of the state assembly seeking a reply from the government regarding the decision to stop government advertisements to the daily Early Times published from Jammu.
I had also spoken about the highhandedness of the government and its arbitrary, whimsical dispensation regarding distribution of official advertisements to the various newspapers published in the state.
Despite repeated requests, the state government did not come forward with any reply to my question and the result has been that through its decision to ignore my question the state government has covertly accepted that it does not have a reasonable answer to my question.
