Divine punishments given to groups of people include hunger, scare, earthquakes, floods and also stoning. Unfortunately we are recipients of all types of such divine punishments for decades now. Is it not time to start thinking afresh and do some introspection before it is too late.

Some time back my brother Afadul had started a debate on stone throwing when he was SSP srinagar. I would request him to throw some light on my observations.

shame

From sung tarashi to sung(but) parasti to sung bari. A very long journey.We must be proud that we achieved our goals and were successful in getting a ten day old child killed in the lap of his mother.

Main nay dekha bulandiyoon kow pastiyoon main.

Main nay dekha pastiyoon kow bulandiyoon per.

Daryawoon kay pani kow pahadoon per chadtay dekha.

Zamin kow falak kay ooper dekha.

Koi tow Yousuf hoga kissie qaid khanay main.

Shayad mairey khwab kee tabir hogi.

From the year 1982, the state of J&K has been trying to enact a law that would entitle such citizens of Kashmir to come back from( Azad)POK who had migrated after1947. A Bill was passed by state legislature but was not assented to by the governor who reserved it for consent of the President. The president in turn referred it to The Supreme Court and the Supreme Court sent the reference back with out an answer.The basis for such law is that POK is a part of J&K and as such citizens of that part of Kashmir are citizens of India.They therefore have a right to return and even settle in any part of India.

This position has now been conceded by home minister .The resettlement bill should therefore receive the consent of the Governor.

Last lost battle

The tiger is tamed and CHACHA has lost his last battle.Three cheers for mumbaikars .

C.M on trial

It is being said that in killing of Zahid not only Lakhvindar is responsible but some officers of BSF are also involved.Now that the case is being investigated by state police,it is their job to bring guilty to law.The C.M has already taken credit for getting custody of lakhvindar and the case has become a test case for him also.More then the accused in this case The C.M himself is on trial.

Why not Autar?

A police constable of B.S.F has been apprehended and handed over to Kashmir police in connection with the murder of Zahid Farooq. The Chief Minister deserves to be congratulated as it is no mean achievement in the context of Kashmir. Jaleel Andrabi's Killer, Major Autar Singh was identified by the police in 1997 and evidence was also collected in the same year. He is still at large.

Since the Chief Minister has been able to get hold of Lakhvinder, and if during investigation it is found that he is responsible for the murder, the trial must start immediately.

I suggest constitution of a special court so that the accused is tried on a day to day basis and the Trial is completed expeditiously.

The Government must also appoint a competent lawyer as a special Public Prescutor. He should be appointed on merit and not on his political background. I would also urge the Kashmir Bar association not to do anything which will be an impediment to fair trial or which may be responsible for transfer of the Trial outside Kashmir.

The accused should be given all legal assistance and he should be able to appoint a counsel of his choice. The work of the counsel should be facilitated by the bar association.

I hope this is a new beginning and all culprits will be brought to book. The Chief minister may also use his good offices to get Autar Singh to face Trial in respect of Murder of Jaleel

An appeal

Cant our leaders mainstream and separatists sit down together and at least find a wayout to end killings of innocent young boys of kashnir.

The support SRK is receiving in his fight against CHACHA,BHATIJA is unprecedented. No body in recent times has been able to get so much of support against shiva sena.Credit must be given to SRK,he is perhaps the first one who has defied CHACHA.

So far so good, lets hope SRK sticks to his stand,if he does it will be CHACHAS last battle.

A coward

We belong to same generation; he may however be senior to me by about five years.I followed his life and career as millions like me also did. The tallest in film industry, a great actor a hero an icon for millions.

A hero on celluloid and a hero in real life, fought for his life after a serious accident maintains his youth even with serious ailments, faced with courage and dignity the bankruptcy of a company he floated.

However when Bhatija threatened him, he prostrated within twenty four hours, although he had committed no wrong. With out a reason he writes pages in praise of Chacha. He becomes brand ambassador for Gujrat's Modi. Is it sheer cowardice or pure business? In any case it is not heroic!

Chacha Bhatija.

In Pakistan, we have good Talibans and bad Talibans. In India, we have good Khans and the bad ones. At least, that is what Chahcha Bhatija want us to believe. M/S Yusuf Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Amir Khan,Salman Khan and Saif Khan are stars and actors in their own right. All of them are successful and are therefore Bad Khans. Every now and then, you can see a morcha against one/some/all of them. On the other hand, you have Fardeen Khan and his cousin, Zaid Khan, who are not so successful. They are therefore good Khans. Both chacha and Bhatija want to outsmart each other in taking any opportunity to mallign and harass the bad Khans.
