EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR MAR 6: Adbee Markaz Kamraz on Sunday decided to launch valley
wide agitation to save the Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture
and Languages (JKAACL) from politics which the organization said had
adversely affected the cultural scene in the state. It was also
decided to hold the annual conference in Gurez this year.

The decisions were taken at the meeting of executive council of AMK
held at Sopore today. Presided over by Dr Aziz Hajini the meeting took
strong exception to the attitude of Minister for Tourism and Culture
who has stopped grant in aid to over 400 cultural and literary
organizations making it hostage to the tussle between him and the
Chief Minister's office. The members expressed anguish over the
affairs of state vis a vis Academy and said that such a situation has
never been witnessed in past five decades. It was unanimously decided
to launch valley wide agitation to save the Academy from politics and
in this connection other organizations working for Dogri, Pahari,
Gojri and Punjabi will be taken into confidence. "We will first wait
for a week and incase the Chief Minister and Cultural Minister are not
able to resolve the issue we will come on streets" a spokesman of AMK
said quoting the deliberations. He said that stopping of all funds to
Academy has severely affected the cultural scene in the state.

The meeting also decided to hold AMK's annual conference of 2011 in
Gurez. Dates for same will be notified later.

In another important decision the date for the election of office
bearers and reconstitution of general council were also notified.
"Election for the office bearers will take place on June 5 and before
that the general council will be reconstituted" the spokesman said
adding that general council serves as the electoral college for
electing office bearers. The meeting also reviewed the calender of
activities of AMK.

Shujaat Bukhari, tresurer Mohammad Ahsan Ahsan, Mashal Sultanpuri,
Saduddin Saidi, Ranjoor Tilgami, Fayaz Tilgami, Abdul Ahad Hajini,
