Nothing but bartering nation’s honour for chair

This has reference to Prof. Fida Muhammad Husnain’s letter (GK, 06 August) in eulogisation of the patriotism of R.C. Kak. While no serious historian believes in ‘ifs’ of history, nonetheless, it must be pointed out that the heavens would not have fallen had Shaikh Abdullah supported Kak’s idea of independent More

Good stand

Geelani is truly a people's leader who genuinely called people to protest peacefully and refrain from violence and arson as Indian media is trying to malign our just cause. People who protest are called as instigated mobs, lashkar militants. We must follow Geelani's programs and protest peacefully

Farooq speaks

Farooq Abdullah while defending his son as chief minister of the state, can go to any extent. In that concern, the programme on NDTV regarding the current crisis in Kashmir was a treat to watch.  When asked about the brutal killings of Kashmiris and its control thereof, Mr. Abdullah's response was More

Geelani's call for peaceful demonstrations to carry forward the movement is appreciated by one and all. However it would be much wiser to call for the unity of all pro freedom parties in kashmir which is the need of the hour.

I weep

I am a poor Kashmiri whose heart beats for his fellow Kashmiris back home. I live in Bahrain where people find it hard to understand that unarmed youth can be killed so brutally. I can't hold back my tears when I come to know as to what is happening in Kashmir. Shaikh Aijaz Kingdom of Bahrain More

Not delivering

It's dismaying to know that the trauma and Gynae departments of SKIMS continue to refuse admission to patients citing lack of manpower and facilities. Of late all departments cite the paucity of registrars and consultants in the department of anesthesia as the main factor impeding the proper work of More

Traffic mess

The traffic mess is playing havoc on the roads, affecting everyone. The serious accidental patients die on the roads much before reaching the hospital. What a tragedy!
