Mr. Chief Minister, where should we take our patients?

This refers to the recent announcement of airport closure. It has happened in the face of an elected chief minister who doesn't even have a say to prevail on air force authorities. This was not demanding aazadi and autonomy for Kashmir. It was the question of thousands of Kashmiris who had to return More

Creating confusion

This refers to the debate organised by NDTV on Boulevard Road Srinagar on 24th of August 2010.It seemed to be an attempt to dilute the issue of Kashmir and divert the attention of the international community from the core issue.  We Kashmiris have no problems if Kashmiri pandits, Jammuates and More

Closing airport

I read with despair the news titled “Srinagar airport to close for 12 days”. I had to return home to celebrate Eid with my family. But it is not possible now. Here in Dubai, it has never happened that flights on account of runway repairs have been suspended. But it seems that the Defence Ministry has More

Condemnable statements

The statements by the National Conference president, Dr Farooq Abdullah in the Indian Parliament are highly condemnable. His saying that nobody in Kashmir is asking for freedom is a blatant lie, which only a person like Dr Farooq Abdullah can say. He did it perhaps to save his chair and be in the good More

Strategy must

This refers to the article “Steer the boat well” by Fida Iqbal (GK, Aug 27). The writer has touched the heart of the issue. True, leaders shouldn’t make the present movement personality centric.

Land misuse

It is time for us to focus our attention on some important issues like the diminishing of our agricultural land and its continued exploitation for non-agricultural purposes. We must collectively raise our voice against this misuse of land. We must focus on production of commodities than rely on just More

Do something

This refers to the news regarding closure of the Srinagar International Airport for 12 days. It is sad that the Indian Air Force, manning the runway, has taken such a decision at a time when people from different parts of India and abroad are visiting the Valley to celebrate Eid with their families.

Protest calendars

While giving the protest calendars, the Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman, Syed Ali Geelani must keep in mind the daily wagers and the students. These times while everyone in the world is busy pursuing studies and research, our students are sitting idle at home. Once they would not perform well in the More

Cholera outbreak

This refers to the outbreak of cholera in different parts of Kashmir. The Department of Health must look into the reasons behind the outbreak of this deadly disease in the Valley. It is after years that the disease has returned to the Valley. At the same time, people must take all the precautions to More

Commendable speech

This refers to the news “Kashmir situation dangerous: Owaisi”. I appreciate the young MP from Hyderabad for speaking in favour of Kashmiris in the Indian Parliament. He has really shown courage by countering every word of the National Conference leader, Dr Farooq Abdullah, who just spoke things which More
