PM urges Telecom sector to build manufacturing capabilitiesNEW DELHI, DEC. 5: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday asked domestic telecom industry to help build manufacturing base in India by 2020. This will be required to re-strict India’s future imports and balance of payment (BOP) situa-tion.“We need to act now to avoid a situation where we face difficul-ties in financing these huge im-ports. India should have manu-facturing facilities which result in a balanced trade in electronic products and are a part of global supply chains,” Singh in his in-augural address at ‘India Tele-com 2013’ event said here.Net penetration:On the Internet penetration in India, he said that though the urban areas are well connected, connectivity in the rural areas is still a concern.“On a per capita basis, the usage of the Internet is quite low in In-dia. Both the availability and the reliability of Internet services outside the major cities leave much to be desired,” he said.

Homage paid to Late Sheikh Mohd Abdullah SRINAGAR, DECEMBER 05:

Expressing surprise over the assertions made by some leaders about Article 370 of Constitution of India with-out having its full understanding, the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah referring to Narendra Modi’s recent statement on the Article 370 in a public rally at Jam-mu, challenged him to fix the time, date and venue to discuss the efficacy and essentiality of Article 370. “We are ready to talk to anyone on the subject even if you select Ahmadabad in Gujarat as a venue for the same”, he asserted and said that many people in India who have held and are holding high offices are equally ignorant about the nature, importance and essential-ity of Article 370. “Main haraan hota hun jab yeh log jinhun ne 370 pada bi nahi hai iske bara me bolte hain”. He said he is astonished when he hears some people talking about Article 370 who have not even properly and completely read this Article. “They connect domicile rights of the people of the State, land grant issues and other similar matters to the Article 370 which has nothing to do with these matters”, he said maintaining that these leaders should know that Article 370 governs the relations of the State with the Union of India. Addressing a large public gathering at Hazrat-bal near here on the birth anniversary of Late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, being observed on 5th of De-cember, Omar Abdullah took a dig on Narendra Modi

for mentioning Gujjar and Shia communities in his speech at Jammu. Omar Abdullah asked Narendra Modi not to talk of Gujjar of Jammu and Kashmir whose development and prosperity is a focused concern of the State and they enjoy Schedule Tribe status here. “You should instead be concerned about the Gujjar of Rajasthan who are struggling for Tribal status and are far behind in the development process” he told Modi advising

him to first know whether Muharram is the month of mourning or the occasion of celebrations (Jeshans) and then talk of Shias of Jammu and Kashmir. He said and referred to the calendar of celebrations issued in Gujarat during the Muharram as also congratulating the Muslims. Omar Abdullah also expressed surprise over Modi for forgetting Kashmiri Pandits. The Chief Minister said Kashmiri Pandits are the integral

Babri Masjid Demolition 21 years on, no action taken against guilty

BJP, Congress equally responsible for the act: AIMMM

New Delhi, Dec 5:

It’s been 21 years today since the Babri masjid was demolished at Ayodha by Hindu zealots. Holding BJP and Congress equally re-sponsible for this heinous act, All India Muslim Ma-jlis Mashawrat (AIMMM) Thursday said that BJP leader Lal Kishen Advani who was the architect of this crime was not pun-ished but instead his secu-rity cover was expanded considerably. Talking to Srinagar based news agency CNS, Presi-dent AIMMM, Dr Zafur-ul-Islam said that then Prime Minister of India P.V.Narsimha Rao could

not be exonerated as he was part and parcel of this game. “BJP leaders and workers were only players and the person who selected them was Narsimha Rao. Rao closed himself in a room and came out only after he was informed that mission was accomplished,” he said. Slamming both the Con-gress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the Bari Masjid’s demolition in 1992, AIMMM said that the Liberhan Commission, which investigated those responsible for the demoli-tion, described it as “a tai-lor-made exercise”, fueled and then executed with the complete knowledge of the BJP and “one of the most

abhorrent acts in the his-tory of the nation.” “The flawed legal system of India proved tasty for the culprits who are still scot free. We expect no justice and Muslims in India know that it was a conspiracy hatched by communal poli-ticians and bureaucrats,” president AIMMM said adding that the events that culminated in the demoli-tion of the Babri Masjid were played in full public view. He said that despite be-lieving in fundamental val-ues, tenets of secularism, Congress party played a ‘devil’s role in the demoli-tion of Babri Masjid.

From Our Special Correspondent

Srinagar, 05 Dec: The Indo-Pak re-lations which are going through a rough weather have got one more jolt when the Pak premier Mr. Nawaz Sharif in a statement threatened that there can be fourth war between the two countries if Kashmir problem is not addressed and solved. This state-ment has come as a big surprise to all those who were expecting that the emergence of democratically elected government led by Mr. Nawaz sharif will prove a big boon for the further-ance and cementing the relations of the two countries. Soon after his elec-tion Mr. Nawaz Sharif has said that he was in favor of very cordial, friend-ly and close relations with India and the country will be his first choice for his first visit after becoming Prime Minister. He had gone to the extend of saying that he will visit India even if he is not u=invited. This statement was standing for those forces anemic

to better relations between India and Pakistan and very soothing for those who have always strived for good neighbourly relations and better people to people contacts. After his election the things instead of getting better started getting worst and the cross LOC firing increased tremen-dously. There were several; incidents of violence where security men and civilians lost their lives and many vil-lagers had to run for their lives due to intermittent firing from across Line Of Control. It is not only that India lost its men and suffered losses to the property but Pakistan also suffered causalities in the retaliatory firing. The confidence building measures signed by the two countries became almost useless due to the ceasefire vi-olations which created panic not only in the border villages but also nation-ally and internationally. The world community got concerned and rest-less and appeals both the countries to exercise restraint so that the situa-

tion does not go out of control. Some-how sanity prevailed on both the countries and the Line Of Control and international borders became a bit comfortable after the guns from both the sides fell silent. The statement of Mr. Nawaz Sharif is in no way going to help anybody’s cause but will defi-nitely increase the tensio0n between the tow countries. This statement will definitely put both the countries into arms race again and their resources will be drained out in the purchase of sophisticated and lethal arms and ammunition which their enemies will sell them happily so as to get maximum benefit from their hostili-ties and animosities. The news has definitely put a gloom on the people of the both sides who are always in favour of better relations so that the two neighbors live in peace and har-mony. The peace in the subcontinent means the peace in the world and the conflict in the sub continent will auto-matically disturb peace and prosper-

ity of the whole world community. One is compelled to go back to 1999 when the then Prime Minster Atal Bi-hari Vajpayee visited Lahore by bus on the invitation of Mr. Nawaz Sharif but soon the Kargil war destroyed every effort which had been made to better the relations of the two coun-tries. Is it that Mr. Nawaz Sharif is following the same policy and on one side he is extending a hand of corpo-ration and on the other side he is do-ing everything to harm the relations of the two countries. The guarded reaction from India about the state-ment has once again proved that the policy of restraint and refrain has to be adopted if the relations of the two countries have to be improved. The two countries have the same culture, the same history and almost the same ideology. They were one before 1947 and they can work as one unit in fu-ture also by having a close corpora-tion and coordination and not

Srinagar, Dec 5 :

Taking a strong exception to the announcement made by National Conference about its three candidates for the forthcoming parliamentary polls in valley, the Congress on Thursday accused its coalition partner of ‘backstabbing and breach of coalition dharma’. Taking to KNS, Muzaffar Par-ray, senior vice president said: “The NC has proved that it is habitual of back stabbing. In past they ditched us saying that Hassan Khan is an inde-pendent candidate in Kargil. Later NC owned him in Kar-gil Hill Council elections. We came to know about it later. Similarly, they announced the three nominations for the up-coming parliamentary polls today reaffirming our stand that NC has been playing foul with us.”

Parray told KNS that there is a coordination committee of the two coalition partners where the NC could have at least dis-cussed about these nomina-tions prior to today’s sudden announcement. Sources in the Congress said that Congress demands one parliamentary seat in valley and that can be one of the reasons why it feels that NC has breached the coali-tion dharma.“We feel offended because they have not consulted us prior to these nominations. At least it was a moral responsibility of NC to inform us before taking such a serious decision. This is totally unethical and against the coalition dharma.”The senior Congress leader said that the state unit of the Congress has taken a serious note of this development and the same will be

Pattan, Dec 5:

A Class 10th student from North Kashmir’s Pattan town Thursday claimed that the Sarpanch Sariwarpora, Pattan is hell-bent to implicate him in militancy related cases. “The feud between Sarpanch and my rela-tives is taking toll on me. The Sarpanch is misleading police and Army by claiming that I am possessing a pistol which is base-less,” Saifullah Feroz Bhat told CNS adding that Democratic Party Nationalist Sarpanch even attacked his 9th class sister with fire pot at their residence. Iqra Feroz Bhat (15) while displaying her half burnt face said that Sariwarpora Pattan Sarpanch, Irshad Ahmed Pandit mislead police station Pattan after he claimed that my brother Saifullah Feroz is possessing a pistol. “Police raided our house and arrested my brother. After 6 hours questioning, my brother was released by police as reality opened on them. The irony is that my 16 years old brother was also

compromising with their sovereignty and integrity. What-ever the consequences the statement of Mr. Nawaz Sharif cannot be taken lightly and the leadership of both the coun-tries instead of provoking eachother should try to defuse the situation so that the words of Mr. Nawaz Sharif will not come true and will not be dragged to a fourth war which can prove disastrous for the sub continent and the world as a whole. The world community should use its influence to create conducive situation so that both the countries are brought to negotiating table so that all outstanding issues including the Kashmir issue are addressed amicably and a solution is carved out which will be acceptable to all stake-holders. The world is already confronted with several prob-lems and conflicts including Afghanistan, Palestine, Syria etc. It cannot afford more conflicts and more dents to the efforts of peace in the entire world.

part of Kashmir and without them Kashmiriyat is incom-plete. The Chief Minister criticized those leaders in the state who change their politics on seeing the direction and the way towards which the wind blows. He said these leaders have no courage to face the reality and take decisions for safeguarding the interests of the people and the State like that of Sher-i-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah who took even hardest decisions for the people’s cause and got these approved by the masses. Stating that Late Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah regard-ed the interests of the State and its people above all consid-erations, the Chief Minister said that Indira-Sheikh Accord was a step in this direction when the great leader Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, the true friend of the people and the guardian of their interests, observed that a sea change has taken place on global spectrum, the map of the sub-conti-nent has been redrafted and three wars fought between In-dia and Pakistan on Kashmir resulted only blood-shed and destruction, Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah saw only op-tions to seek protection, honour and political dignity of the people of the State by talking to India. “This resulted in the Indira-Sheikh Accord”, he said and added that Sheikh Mo-hammad Abdullah soon after this Accord went to people for getting their consent for his decision which he received in 1977 State Assembly Elections by a thumping majority and whole hearted support of the people. “This was not an easy decision to take for Sheikh Sa-hib but he took it for the interest of the State with the view that he will put it before the people to approve it or not and he went in the Elections in 1977 and received complete as-sent of the people”, the Chief Minister said and mentioned the similar historic decision taken by Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah in 1947 and putting it before the people for their agreement. “Sheikh Sahib considered the people basis of power and recognized them as the real decision makers. He be-lieved in democracy and public referendum as such he put his all decisions before the people for approval”, Omar said and elaborated that the life and struggle of Sheikh Moham-mad Abdullah explains well his sincerity towards the state and its people. “Sheikh Sahib never indulged in putting the people of the State to trouble. He never took any step that would have endangered the life, education, economy and public safety. He put himself and his companions to the trouble and faced atrocity instead of putting people to diffi-culties and marring the future of youth”, Omar maintained and highlighted the high principles of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and his stupendous agenda for the State in his vi-sionary document of Naya Kashmir. The Chief Minister said that Sheikh Sahib was not like today leaders who create problems and difficulties for people in all fields of life even marring the educational car-rier of students. He said that the propagandist elements and those nurturing enmity against Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah and National Conference attempt at belittling the life size achievements and sacrifices of Sher-i-Kashmir and his companions which the history bears testimony. Omar said anti Sheikh and anti National Conference forces try their best to veil and make people forget the role of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah particularly the one he played before 1977 and the decisions he took to revolution-ize the socio-political conditions of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. “These elements want youth not to read the chapter of struggle spearheaded by Sheikh Sahib and atrocities and difficulties he faced for the cause of the State and the dignity of the people”, he said and added that those who target Sheikh Sahib for participating in 1977 Elections themselves fought more Assembly Elections than Sher-i-Kashmir. The Chief Minister said his party National Confer-ence upholds the highest principals of public service, uni-ty, solidarity, amity and equitable development of all the regions and sections of the society irrespective of any con-siderations, preached and practiced by Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah throughout his life. “We are here to connect the people of Jammu, Kash-mir and Ladakh, strengthen Hindu-Muslim-Sikh Ithaad (Unity) trait, ensure comprehensive and equitable devel-opment for all the residents of the State in all the regions and sub-regions and seek peace and political stability for

Besides the poll strategy, the important issues to be tak-en up by the party were discussed in the meeting where the party leadership gave its nod for the nomination of Akhter, sources added.During the meeting it was resolved by the party that the self rule was the only solution to the Kashmir issue. PDP has also decided to form campaign committees in each parliamentary constituency where the senior leaders and legislators will apprise the people about the policies and programmes of the party, sources privy to agenda of the meeting told KNS.

the peaceful and modern Jammu and Kashmir”, Omar said and underlined the need for making new generation aware of the glaring and stupendous role Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah played for the cause of the State and its people. He said that youth should also be given full account of the struggle spearheaded by Sher-i-Kashmir right from 1931 and the atrocities he faced for people’s cause. The Chief Minister also referred to the historical deci-sions his government took during the last about five years to empower public and bring transparency in the function-ing of the government. He said he has brought the govern-ment functioning under full public scan making people fully empowered to ask questions to the government for its every action or omission. He also mentioned Public Services Guarantee Act and said that service delivery of over 70 services has been made legally time bound in or-der to make administration quick and responsive to public needs. He also mentioned the re-constitution of Account-ability Commission, constitution of Vigilance Commission and implementation of Right to Information Act as also establishment of empowered Panchayat Raj System in the State after a long period of over 30 years.“We have given to each commoner the authority equal to the legislator for asking questions to the government about its all activities, performance and fund spending”, he said giving reference to the implementation of Right to Informa-tion Act. Omar Abdullah criticized those who deny to see the gi-gantic and comprehensive development taking place in the State during the last about five years of his government. “They do not want to see the reality on ground as it makes them sad for they did not do anything remarkable during their tenure in government, as such, are hell bent to astray people by false propaganda against the government”, he said and gave resume of some major achievements reg-istered on the development front in the State during last about five years. The Chief Minister said that besides batting for political empowerment and internal autonomy of the State, he will continue to strive to seek financial autonomy for the state so that it need not to beseech for funds from the Centre for launch and completion of development projects. “I want to make the State financially as self-sufficient so that it would be capable of offering funds to the Centre for works rather than requesting to it for the same”, he said and mentioned the available avenue of local power generation in this re-gard. He said he had laid necessary edifice to generate 9000 MW of power in the State within next seven to eight years to provide 24X7 electricity to the people besides making the State financially self-reliant.

JAMMU, DECEMBER 5

The chief guest appreciated the eye-catching performance of the students and congratulated the man-agement for the mind blow-ing show.Speaking on the oc-casion, the Minister stressed the need for providing quality education to the students as per the modern trends so that the students after completing their studies can compete in different job oriented fields. He also called for promoting the moral ethics among the students enabling them to serve the society with the rich Indian ethos which is unique identification of our country. He said the time has come

to review the present educa-tion system that needs some changes as per the present scenario. He said presently the education is becoming com-mercialized and main focus of teachers and parents is on improving the academic ac-tivities only and students lack in the overall development, especially in moral education which does not auger well for the younger generation.

The Minister called for close coordination between parents and teachers, which is a must for the overall de-velopment and achieving the desired results. “The teachers’ role is more important than the parents who nurture the students to take the future responsibilities, therefore, the teachers must put in their best efforts in shaping the future of children so that they become responsible and disciplined citizens to serve the nation”.

Stephens Int’l Public School celebrates Annual Day function

Feed your mind today, Libra. The day’s energy supports growth and expansion, so why not see about learning about something you’re interested in? Challenge yourself by read-ing or taking a class. There are plenty of online subjects to engage you. Find something that interests you that you can do in your own time.

You’re more into socializing today than anything else, Scorpio. This could be great providing you don’t have a heavy workload. See who’s available and go for it. If you need to get something done, you’ll have to resist the temptation to chat too long. Use breaks for this and keep your focus on getting done what you’ve taken on. There’s always the evening to get together with friends.

You may find it hard to admit that you can’t do everything, Sagittarius. There are some jobs that you aren’t cut out to do. Why pretend when a better option would be to delegate the task to someone else? If you don’t feel a strong connection with something or someone, don’t force it. Pretending that you’re capable of something will only cause frustration for you and everyone else.

Don’t be surprised if you’re pensive, Capricorn. It’s one of those days when daydreaming can happen more readily. Your imagination may also be at a peak. Rather than fighting this so you can be more productive, jot your ideas down. It may be to your advantage, as better and innovative ways of doing things can pop into your mind. Take time to ponder. It can bring great results.

Chatting with your loved ones may be more appealing to you today than any other day, Aquarius. It may be important to curb this desire if there are many things that need your attention. If you’re at home, don’t spend all your time on the phone or loafing. Consider tending first to things that need to get done. Socializing will be far more enjoyable without guilty feelings about what you should be doing.

Pisces, you can expect to feel a little more energetic to-day. In fact, you may run circles around everyone. What a great way to start the day. Head out with the confidence that you can easily handle anything that comes your way. Take time to enjoy the company of others as much as possible. If there are meetings on the agenda, handle them right away.

Today may be a time of heightened reasoning and judg-ment for you, Virgo. What a great way to get things done! Pull out unfinished projects and get going. Tackle issues or problems that have surfaced recently by facing them di-rectly. Make the most of this day’s energy by thinking about ways to do things more efficiently. Be confident that you can handle anything.

You might feel like doing something different today, Ar-ies. Everyone needs a break from the regular grind and this is a good time to try something new. Perhaps you feel like vary-ing your routine. If this is your day off, you might spend the day doing whatever strikes your fancy. Try a new wardrobe style. Go to a movie. Do something to spice up your life today.

Start your day writing in a journal, Taurus. This provides an avenue to communicate and connect with your inner be-ing. Things you need to do, ambitions, and even challenges can appear while you’re writing, providing a map that you can follow. Even if starting is difficult, stick with it. The words will come if you give it a chance. It can make your day much easier.

You might find it hard to get going, Gemini. Taking di-rection could rub you the wrong way, especially if you’re set on doing something different. Communicate your ideas and how you want to approach things rather than let irritation get to you. Your approach will be better received if you leave emotions out of it. You may even get kudos for staying calm and collected.

You might feel cheerful and generous today, Cancer. Helping others will probably suit you, and matters will move along smoothly. If there are outstanding projects from ear-lier, tackle them first. It’s an opportune time to get caught up on challenges. Don’t hesitate to lend a hand if you’re ap-proached or notice someone in need. This will benefit them as well as you.

Make an effort to connect with someone you miss today, Leo. Even if it feels painful at first, you’ll feel a lot better once you do. Pick up the phone, write a note, or send an email. Let the person know you miss and care about him or her. Expressing yourself is often far better than stuffing your feel-ings. The person may be missing you just as much.
