Disclose the names of two ministers of congress in public who attempted to stall the wheel of democracy own the responsibility of being the biggest stumbling block in decentralization of powers: Vakil to Omar


Vakil condemned suppressive action of the government to curb peaceful demonstration by youth congress for implementing 73rd and 74th amendments
GNS Srinagar 29 Sep 2012: Sr. Congress leader and Member AICC Abdul Gani Vakil today condemned suppressive action of the government to curb peaceful demonstration by youth congress for implementing 73rd and 74th amendments in the state and described the incident as unfortunate and blot on democracy. He said that Youth Congress leaders had all the right to protest peacefully but police action on them has undermined the democratic values in our state. In his statement, Vakil asked the chief minister Omar Abdullah to not to use suppressive measures for curbing the popular voice of empowering panchayats in Jammu and Kashmir state, elections to which were held after over three decades. These institutions, he said need to be strengthened for decentralization of powers.
The NC led coalition he said must come out clean with its policies and programmes to empower Panchayats so that common masses are not kept in dark. The morale of party workers and leaders, he said was still high but attempts to undermine Panchayats were not going on in right direction. Vakil reiterated his demand of empowering Panchayats and asked the government to not to confront with youth leaders who have every right to protest. He simultaneously said that such incidents were not sending right message amongst public for which a decision should be immediately taken by the government with regards to empowering Panchayats.
He said Omar Abdullah must disclose the names of those two ministers of congress in public who attempted to stall the wheel of democracy or else own the responsibility of being the biggest stumbling block in decentralization of powers. The state, he said is passing through very sensitive phase and in the given situation undermining democratic values or rights would not be in the right direction.
Vakil supported the resolve of Congress MP and AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi who had said that Panchayats in our country must be empowered to decentralize powers. Expressing his grievances over the killing of elected representatives, he said such incidents were aimed at demoralizing the spirit of democracy which should be checked with firm hands and the government should be categorical in informing about the culprits as the ambiguity of the govt. in this context is creating doubts and confusion in the minds of the people sometimes they blame the militants and some times their political opponents.

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 . The example is the entry of Shah Mohammad Tantray and Shehzaad Ahmed Khan of Poonch in to PDP  No...

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...
