Coalition fighting with each other, people: Mehbooba

 GNS SRINAGAR  :: Opposition Peoples Democratic Party President Monday said that ruling alliance was involved in fighting with each other and the people of Jammu and Kashmir. “From the start, this government has remained involved in fighting. Fighting each other is a separate thing with accusation of cheating against Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed’s son and corruption allegations against Taj Mohidin sahib, they are fighting with people. There is no electricity, water in addition to scarcity of ration. People are suffering on all fronts,” Mehbooba told reporters on the sidelines of party function in central Kashmir’s Budgam district. Earlier addressing the workers, she claimed the performance of PDP in coalition with Congress for a brief period had set new standards of governance that helped the people to distinguish between good and bad governance.” She said arrival of PDP on the scene had redefined the rules of politics in the state with the people getting for the first time an alternative to monopolistic forces. 
This, Mehbooba said, had introduced elements of performance audit, political accountability and governance consciousness and nobody could now take people for granted as dumb driven cattle who could be exploited on emotional insecurities and hollow slogans. “Now each elected representative has to account for his or her performance and fairy tales are not going to get votes. We have to perform to win the trust of people or perish,” Mehbooba said. 
Regretting that the present government could not build on initiatives by PDP, Mehbooba said the brunt of its inefficiency was being borne by the common man. Even the much hyped Panchayat elections and often repeated advertisement about their empowerment has become a cruel joke for the people who participated in the Panchayat elections.

It would be much better to say that the situation if more threatening for NC as compared to Congress as the region has always been strong belt of the former for decades . The latest example is the entry of Chowdhary Qamer Hussain of Rajouri in the party fold who was earlier associated with Congress and had contested on Congress ticket from Rajouri in 2002 assembly elections , but had finished second at  that time . Qamar is not alone in the region who joined PDP in the past some months, National Conference has already received a big loss by loosing its influential cadres in Poonch district .

When the holy Quran was placed before Mohammed Maqbool Butt on the morning of February 11,

When the holy Quran was placed before Mohammed Maqbool Butt on the morning of February 11, 1984, he knew that death awaited him in the phansi kothi a few yards away. A high voltage bulb burning outside the grated doors of his solitary cell in the death row was indicative of the outside darkness. If he had had any hopes of living awhile yet, they were dashed by the presence of the” prison doctors. Jail superintendent, A.B. Shukla/had paid Butt a visit in the middle of the previous night. Shukla chatted with him for a long time but cautiously avoided any talk about the execution. “I will see you on Monday”, Butt’s counsel on record, the sallow-complexioned R.C. Pathak, had told him during a brief interview they were allowed on the evening of February 10. In answer, the condemned Kashmir Liberation Front leader, who was awarded the death sentence of the murder of a CID officer in 1966, had meaningfully remarked: “Do you think they will permit us a second meeting?” He was right! Butt was n...
