Ruckus at Geelani conference

Oct 22, 2010 - JEHANGIR ALI |

New Delhi

A group of Kashmiri Pandits were detained by the Delhi police after they created ruckus at the Kashmir Conference organised here in which separatist Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani was scheduled to speak.
The activists waved national flag and shouted slogans against Mr Geelani, which were countered by a large number of his supporters who shouted pro-freedom slogans. The situation was brought under control after the police intervened. “Forty people were detained and they were later released,” a police official said. The conference was organised by Committee for Release of Political Prisoners in New Delhi.

Karan Singh: My names were rejected
SHUCHISMITA
JAMMU

Oct. 21: Obliquely disapproving the selection of interlocutors for J&K, former Sadar-e-Riyasat, MP and senior Congress leader Dr Karan Singh on Thursday in a startling revelation maintained that he too had suggested some names for interlocutors which were, however, rejected.
Erstwhile Sadar-e-Riyasat chose the occasion of 218th birth anniversary of Maharaja Gulab Singh, the founder and first Maharaja of J&K, to express his dissatisfaction in a very subtle, oblique manner while addressing a public rally at Akhnoor.
Dr Singh was in the border town of Jammu to unveil the statue of Maharaja Gulab Singh, the founder of Dogra dynasty in J&K at Jia Pota Ghaat.
