‘Time for
Congress to learn lesson’
Congress despite being a
ruling party has been losing grace. Though government claims it has been
doing enough the party set up seems disinterested. Had this not been the
case workers at ground level wouldn’t have been disenchanted. Their protests
and suggestions have so far attracted no attraction from the high command.
In your editorial, ‘Time for Congress to learn lesson’ you have also given a
clarion call that also seems gone down the drain. If Congress leadership is
really interested in keeping the national party alive in the State, it
should take immediate steps to strengthen the PCC and the first ideal step
would be to replace its incumbent chief by some one who has political as
well as administrative experience at his back.

‘Efforts on
to improve Work Culture’
If our Chief Minister says
that work culture in our state is at its lowest ebb he is not wrong. It is
also not wrong that he has been trying his level best to inculcate this
culture in his administration by himself working for eighteen hours a day.
Still he is no where near the required success. Why? The only plausible
reason could be that his efforts are half hearted.
If we go through history we
will find that successful administrators have been those who made others to
work rather than those who worked themselves. The fact of the matter is that
if you work yourself you become so engrossed in your own self that you
exactly do not know what others have been doing and it is here where an
administrator fails. In ‘Efforts on to improve Work Culture’ (August-2007)
the writer, Ashraf-ul-Hassan has rightly observed that despite CM’s tall
claims of working hard to improve work culture in the State the Work Culture
here has shown no improvement. The CM instead of working overtime should
keep vigil on how others work. Otherwise one day he will find himself as a
most tired person without achieving anything.

Reservation-a cure turned curse’
Our leaders who had
incorporated clauses like Reservation in our constitution with the hope that
this would help the down trodden and unprivileged sections of society to
come economically at par with their better off neighbourers must be
repenting now seeing the fate of their progressive clause. The fact of the
matter is that the Reservation clause in our constitution has proved counter
productive as it is not the deserving for whom provision of Reservation had
been kept, but those already affluent in a particular class or category have
been benefited thereby creating another class called as creamy layer. In
this respect article ‘Reservation-a cure turned curse’ written by S.Razvi
(August-2007) is an eye opener. It cannot be that those at the helm of
affairs are ignorant about the fate of Reservation. They know everything yet
do nothing to do away the loss already done and unless this is done the
economic and social condition of the poor will only deteriorate.

Permission
to attack not granted’
If seen in right perspective
the ideas expressed by the earned writer in his article ‘ Permission to
attack not granted’ September, 15-2007 provides an eye opener for those
still believe that their freedom struggle has been indigenous.
Does it not seem strange that when Dr. Shabir Chowdhary despite being
himself a founder member of Jammu-Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) has
understood that the
Due to seventeen year long
terrorism in the State none else than the people of the Valley have been
made to suffer. They lost their dear ones, they lost their peace of mind and
they lost heir seep of nights. But what did they get out of the bloody
struggle? Dr. Shabir is right to say that had this been a struggle of
people, the people would have been benefited. Since they fought a war for
others expecting them to benefit is day dreaming. It is not late even today
that we realize the arithmetic of the ‘struggle’ and save our future
generation from falling into emotional slogans raised by foreign agents.
