Several youth missing in Doda Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, May 26: National Panthers Party supremo Prof Bhim Singh has said that announcing ceasefire by the Indian Government without any firm policy and direction was a mistake but abruptly ending the ceasefire was a big blunder. Addressing a press conference here today the Panthers Party chief said that both the decisions were taken by the Union Government without the application of mind. One sided ceasefire had no meaning moreover, it should have been withdrawn very early. Expressing serious concern over the increasing militancy in district Doda and other areas of J&K, the Panthers Party leader said that the situation was very explosive and has taken a serious after the announcement of ceasefire. A large number of militants have managed to cross over to this side while those operating here have launched their massive activities. Referring to the killings of seven members of minority nomad families at Sajjar near Atholi in Paddar, Prof Singh said that SHO Atholi Mohd Shafi (SI) had withdrawn twenty SPOs/ VDC men from the area alongwith their weapons hardly three days before this incident. They were sent back to their respective area only the next day of massacre alongwith their weapons. Prof Singh who visited the village alongwith some members of his Party alleged that SHO when contacted and inquired about the reason behind withdrawal of security from area, claimed that he acted according to SSP Doda, Mr Ashkoor Wani. Prof Singh said Doda police claims that all the militants involved in the massacre of seven nomads have been killed in encounter while the locals say that all the eleven ultras and two locals responsible the act were still operating and were seen several times. It is strange that even Intelligence agencies operating in the area failed to establish information about the activities of the police and the militants as well. He demanded inquiry into the whole episode and maintained the DGP should take strong note of it. He further alleged that Administration was totally involved in the militancy and NC Government should be dismissed immediately as it will never like peace in the state. Prof Singh alongwith his party men—B B Kotwal, state general secretary, Faqir Chand, Mohd Iqbal who returned after five-day Nyaya Yatra in district Doda said that Administration should inquire about the missing of a large number of youth from Bhalessa, Paddar and other remote areas of Doda. Awareness programme will also be launched during Sudhmahadev Mela. He also expressed profound grief over killing of securitymen in the area and maintained that militants were striking where ever they wished but the security remained very weak. |

‘Only
PDP can provide alternative of NC’ Excelsior Correspondent MANJAKOTE, May 26: Terming decision of the Prime Minister, Mr Atal Behari Vajpyee to invite Pakistani military ruler General Parvez Musharraf for dialogue on Kashmir as positive development, Jammu and Kashmir Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mufti Mohammed Sayed hoped that this step would surely help in resolving vexed Kashmir problem peacefully and permanently. Addressing series of public meetings , Mufti lavished all praise on Prime Minister for inviting Pakistani military ruler for talks. "Prime Minister has again taken a bold initiative to resolve the issue and the development has vindicated PDP’s stand that Kashmir problem can only be solved through talks among the concerned parties", former Union Home Minister said while addressing meetings at Manjakote, Mogal and Pouni (Reasi). The PDP chief reiterated that the Kashmir issue was political one which can only be solved politically and through dialogue among the parties concerned to the issue. "There is no military solution to the trouble and sooner or latter, even gun wielding militants will have to come to the negotiation table", he stressed. Mufti hoped that Parvez Musharraf would respond positively to the Indian Prime Minister’s invitation and cooperate for restoration of peace in the troubled torn Jammu and Kashmir. "Both India and Pakistan can not ignore the fact that people of both countries including J&K want peace not war", he added. Accusing the Chief Minister, Dr Farooq Abdullah of trying to sabotage the ongoing peace process, PDP chief alleged that the former did not want the restoration of peace in the State. He also cautioned the Central Government against nefarious designs of Farooq Abdullah and appealed to the Prime Minister to go head with his peace initiative. "Militancy suit National Conference that is why State Government has been creating hurdles in peace process", he said and adding, "Farooq Abdullah donot want that peace should be prevailed in the State as end of the on-going blood shed would harm the vested interests of the ruling NC leaders who have looting the State". Coming down heavily on ruling National Conference for rampant corruption in the State, Mufti said that only achievement of this Government was that corruption has been legitimised during the regime of Farooq Abdullah. Mufti contested Government’s claim providing jobs to one lakh youth. "They have not provided but sold the Government jobs in open market", he alleged and added that NC leaders have brazenly auctioned Government jobs through their touts. Highlighting miseries of the inhabitants of hilly backward areas, Mufti said that it was regrettable that after 53 years of independence people are still living in virtually hellish condition. "It was all due to the policies of the successive State Government which meted out step-motherly treatment with backward and hilly areas of the State", he said exhorted the people to remain united to highlight their miseries. "Instead of solving woes of the people National Conference has been exploiting sentiments of the people by raising some emotional issues", he said. The PDP chief called upon the people to teach a lesson to the National Conference in the forthcoming Assembly elections by election honest and dedicated candidates. He, however, claimed that only PDP could provide a better alternative to the National Conference. "We are not for power but to providing healing touch to the inhabitants of this violence plagued State", he said and assured the people that PDP would make comprehensive programmes for the upliftment and betterment of the backward and far-flung areas. He also asked his party activists to remain prepare for the Assembly elections so that a better alternative of ruling NC could be brought before the public. The largely attended meetings were also addressed by Mr Master Tassadiq Hussian, Trilok Singh Bajwa, Ashok Sharma, senior vice-president of the youth wing of the party, Shafi Dar, district president, Vinod Mahajan, Anam Choudhary, Ch. Akarm Khan, Ch Inam Hafiz, Mr Fallail Singh and others. Public meeting at Majakote and Mogal were organised by Mr Anam Choudhary and Pouri by Mr Bansi Lal.

HC allows
Addl Sessions Judge’s petition Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, May 26: Justice T S Doabia of the State High Court has allowed a writ petition filed by then Additional District and Sessions Judge Reasi, Jhankar Singh Cheema, challenging the order of the High Court of March 2, 1996 under the signaures of the Registrar. In that order, Mr Cheema was asked to proceed on superannuation with effect from March 31, 1996 at the age of 58. The Judge directed the Registry to request the Governor of the State to pass formal order of compulsory retirement of the petitioner. Mr Cheema was held entitled to salary, allowances and all other benefits in the manner allowed by the Supreme Court in Sisir Kanta Satapathy’s case. In the present case, the date would be ascertained and payment be made to the petitioner accordingly. The Court further directed that the operation of this judgment shall remain stayed for period of two months. The petitioner challenged the pre-mature retirement on his attaining the age of 58 years and sought quashment of the compulsory retirement. He prayed to treat him in service till he attains the age of 60 years and pay him salary and arrears with all other benefits on the basis by his reinstatement in the service. In the petition filed through Advocate R S Thakur, it was submitted that the refusal of benefits of the enhanced age of superannuation can be made only by the Governor, who is the appointing authority of District and Sessions Judges and the appointing authority alone can prematurely retire an employee.
