Good to see Jama’t Chief describing his objectives

I was delighted to watch an interview of Sheikh Muhammad Hassan Sahib, chief of Jama’at-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir on Kashir Channel on 6th Feb. 2010. I was also amazed to observe that the channel interviewed a personality from the organization which always has been “communal and separatist” in the eyes More

Sad state

Kashmir is in a mess right now. Life here is crippled. Civilians are being murdered on one pretext or the other. The killing of 13-year-old Wamiq Farooq and 16-year-old Zahid Farooq Sheikh is completely shocking and condemnable. Despite so much death and destruction in the past 20 years, there is no More

Welcome back

The Kashmiri Pandit community was wrongly advised to vacate Kashmir Valley by the then biased bureaucratic administration, which was all against local Muslims.

Registering protest

Foiling march

This refers to the foiling of UN Office Chalo on 8th Feb. 2010 which shows us the weakness of the “largest democracy of the world.” For how long will India use its security forces with ‘special powers’ to weaken the freedom movement? Muhammad Aadil BhatBandipora, Kashmir More

Divisive politics

This refers to the recent row over Shah Rukh Khan’s statement on the exclusion of Pakistani cricketers from IPL. India is a democratic country and everyone has a freedom to express his views. Shah Rukh Khan, who owns Kolkata Knight Riders of IPL, had spoken his heart out. Shiv Sena threatened if Shah More

Ensure safety

This refers to Asif Ali Zardari’s way of ruling Pakistan. From the day he moved into the Presidency in 2008, he seems to be more concerned about himself than for the betterment of the country. On the very first day in office, he got the furniture replaced for millions of rupees. Pakistan is in deep crisis More

Responsible who?

This refers to the news titled “Omar hits out at separatists; Indo-Pak Dialogue Must for Peace’ (GK Feb. 3, 2010). The Chief Minister had made the speech at Ladoora (Rafiabad), accusing the Separatists of exploiting the youth for their vested interests. But let me ask Mr. Abdullah: Who is responsible More
