Delhi’s 8 point package: nothing but an eyewash

The eight-point (less) Kashmir package announced by the Government of India after 100 civilian killings in Kashmir and over 2000 injuries can hardly be termed as a move forward for a political solution. The Kashmir issue is not only known to the GoI but the entire world and therefore there is no role More

Graft cases

This refers to the news “400 graft cases pending prosecution: Govt.” The state government seems to be corrupt to the core. There is nobody to address the rot. The state has already been ranked as the second most corrupt state. Now I think it is heading to secure the first rank. Abid WaniKawdara More

Looting resources

This refers to the news "Kashmir's resources being exploited: Geelani". The veteran leader has time and again raised this issue of vital importance.

Sheer bias

This refers to the article "O' Ma… You made me speak". I wonder how the author has related different things. That is sheer bias.

Just playing

Government of India is playing with our aspirations. It is denying us our basic right to self determination. India must try to understand the sentiments of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Rather than giving economic packages, which we don’t want, New Delhi must try to solve the Kashmir dispute, once More

Futile exercise

This refers to the news “K-interlocutor: Digvijay or Chavan?” (GK Oct 4). It is a futile exercise to appoint interlocutors on Kashmir. Such a thing has been done in the past as well. But such persons have always favoured the same idea of Kashmir being the integral part of India. If New Delhi is really More

Spare education

This refers to the Greater Kashmir editorial titled "Edu-politics". It is quite unfortunate that education is not spared from politics. Asking the students to attend their schools when the entire Valley is reeling under curfew is just unrealistic and pathetic. No one can deny the importance of education More

Dachigam Park

There are two leopards in Dachigam Park. One male and other female. Both have been kept separately in different big cages which have been installed by the authorities and even they cant see and sit together which is sign of brutality against wild animals. It is not understood why they have been kept More

Wavering attitude
