Mr chief minister,what is the truth.

A few days ago, some friends from Mumbai informed me that even minors had been detained in Kashmir under preventive laws. I do not know what is the legal position in Kashmir, but outside, such a detention is illegal, because of Juvenile Laws. In any case, even in Kashmir a minor can not be jailed in a jail. I am not writing this blog to express an opinion as to whether a minor can be detained under detention laws or not.

I try to make a different point. When my friends informed me about the allegation, I posed a question to CM on TWITTER. He was prompt to answer and said, "To my knowledge there is no minor detained under PSA however i will check with home secretary tomorrow '.

Next day he was kind enough to confirm the information he had already given was correct.

Today it is reported in Greater Kashmir that a boy from Anantnag aged 14 is detained under PSA and is lodged at a Jail in Jammu.

Now the question is who is right. Either the report in GK or the CM. Both cannot be right. If GK report is correct, then CM has been given incorrect information because he shared the information after checking with his home secretary.

This is where the question of trust deficit crops up. We have a right to know the truth. If GK report is incorrect CM should say so. If he has given wrong information he should accept so and adequately punish people who gave him wrong information.

Center appointed interlocutors visited the family of those two sisters who were recently killed by unidentified gunmen.According to Padgaonkar he offered condolences to the family and promised the family all assistance by central govt.
Recently a boy was killed at Kupwara by identified gunmen.Mr Padgaonkar had no sympathy for the family of that child.Mr Padgaonkar if you are that selective even in offering condolences how do you expect to succeed

ZERO DIMENSIONAL

Life for some is a straight line.
For some a curved bracket.
And for some a circle.
And to me life is a point,
A zero dimensional object
With no beginning no end.
Life for some is a straight line.
For some a curved bracket.
And for some a circle.
And to me life is a point,
A zero dimentional object

WHAT A RELATION?

I wait,wait and wait.
I pray,pray and pray.
Then he comes.
And i neglect him.
And he leaves.
And i miss him
And i again pray.
And wait,
till he returns.
What a relation?

Darbar move

Darbar move can not be justified on any reason in this 21st century except for political.Late Maharajah started this practice not for benefit for people of the state but for his comforts.He wanted to enjoy the summer of Kashmir and winter of jammu.
Politics dictates,therefore no sensible person would imagine that this practice will be stopped in immediate future.
In these circumstances one can try to make darbar move people friendly and i suggest Darbar should stay at srinagar during winter and at jammu during summer.People of jammu suffer hardships in summer and people of valley suffer in winter.
