Can Grand Mufti suggest alternate protest methods please!

Kashmir’s Grand Mufti, Mufti Bashir-ud-Din surprised the masses by issuing a Fatwa against stone pelting. Though the second day he withdrew but the discussion remains. I think Mufti Sahib is mistaken a bit. It is not the question of bringing peace to the sub-continent, but a long pending tripartite dispute More

Petty issues

This refers to the article titled “Let’s not be gods” by Huma (GK, March 13). It is better if we don’t think too much about these petty issues. We must rather try to look at the bigger picture.

Condemnable Fatwa

The Fatwa against stone-pelting by Grand Mufti of Kashmir is condemnable. He apparently wants to appease New Delhi by issuing such a statement wherein stone-pelting is linked with “means of living” for Kashmiri youth.

Two things

 This refers to the article titled “Let’s not be gods” by Huma (GK March 13). I completely agree with her assertions. The Qur’an and Sunnah are enough for a person if he wants to go to heaven. And if one rejects the same, one is a real loser. Sofi YounisBBA-2nd YearGovt Degree College More

Stone rage

Disappointing Budget

This refers to the State-Budget 2010-11 presented by the Finance Minister recently. The budget has disappointed the Government employees; it has not brought any relief for the common man. Instead, it has added to his woes and sufferings. There is nothing special in the Budget regarding the core development More

Exempt Schools

This refers to the tussle between the government and its employees. Such a phenomenon can have disastrous effects on the work culture. One cannot dispute the genuine grievances of the employees, but essential services, especially health and schools should be exempted from strike. As schools already  More
