Of separatists and stray dogs


By Naseer A Ganai

GNS JAMMU...: Latest discourse in Kashmir is stray dogs. And all of sudden people are suggesting why separatists are not raising their voices against ninety one thousand, one hundred and ten stray dogs which have been let loose on Kashmiris.
Chief Justice, Justice Khalifullah while hearing case about stray dogs raised a point when the State Government pressed for their sterilisation. He asked whether dogs will stop biting if they are sterilised. Srinagar Municipal Corporation has so far failed to come up with answer to this question but it went ahead with the construction of multi crore dog pounds. In these pounds, dogs will be sterilised, given good food and they will have care takers.  This is the plan of the State to tackle problem of stray dogs. The same State which failed to answer query of the Chief Justice.
Now in case separatist leaders raise voice against stray dogs, will that change situation on the ground. Will it have effect on the population of dogs? Will they vanish? Will they stop barking and biting? After all the decision would not be taken by the separatist that Kashmir should have stray dogs in streets or not. It is the Government that has to decide.
Further, when separatists issue statements on issues like Kashmir dispute, these intellectuals would laugh at them. It is Pakistan and India who have to solve it, they would argue. Then how statement of separatist leaders, on far serious issue of stray dogs assumes significance, when their statements on human rights abuses, Kashmir and South Asia are considered ridiculous. I wonder.
Why should separatists always talk? And who are these separatists? Are not they the same people, who are being accused of opening shops in the name of movement? Good. If these shops are so lucrative, why don't you open one and issue statement yourself about anything. From stray dogs to Michelle Obama. Who stops you.
Anyone can have admission in the University of Separatism. Why to shout at the faculty and the students of this University from outside asking them to do this and that instead of becoming part of the University and taste how it is to be in its campus.

GNS RAJOURI : The way opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) led by former JK Chief Minister and erstwhile union home minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayed has been emerging as a force in the border region of Poonch , Rajouri, is really a worrying situation for Congress and National Conference . 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 .

GNS Srinagar, Nov 30: Terming Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s latest move of courting BJP as his new allies a brazen show of opportunism, opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today said the National Conference has taken the political immorality to a new low by simultaneously entering into coalition of expedience with Congress and BJP. “As NC has always survived on trickery, its latest move to woo back its old allies (BJP) is in tune with the party’s philosophy of political opportunism and deceit,” PDP chief spokesman Naeem Akhtar said in a statement issued here today. He said, curiously, developing NC-BJP bonhomie coincides with the recent visit of senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member Arun Jaitley in Jammu. Terming Omar Abdullah’s ‘ministerial berth’ bait a desperate attempt to keep the dissipating NC flock together and fully exploit disgruntled party legislators for upcoming Legislative Council polls,  Akhtar said Abdullahs have a history of adopting ‘use-a...
