Jammu, Feb 07: 'Kashmir is again on boil because of the exploitation of the situation by both separatist as well as mainstream politicians. The present state government is only repeating the Mufti Sayeed type of cheap- popularity-policies regarding separatism and militancy and thus gifting whole of the valley to disturbances and war-like situations now and then. The state government does not seem to be interested in curbing law-breakers with iron hand because its own interests also flourishes on the same type of situation,' said Dr Darakhshan Andrabi at a public rally at Chenani today morning.

Dr Andrabi warned Omar Abdullah that his Government is also heading towards the Mufti-type of fallout because of his soft attitude and treatment towards separatists who have destroyed the whole social fabric in Kashmir by creating a situation that seems always beyond the control of the state government. She said that Government has always failed to restore peace and smoothness in life in Kashmir while as Pakistan sponsored separatists always succeed in derailing normal life in Kashmir. She asked the Those who addressed the rally included SDP leaders Ajay Kumar, Gurusagar Singh, Rajiv Bhagat and Ajay Raina.

Shadow Correspondent SRINAGAR, FEB 05:

For the first time since inception of militancy in state, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi took a brave move today by organizing anti hartal and anti stone pelting processions in summer capital to denounce the forces supporting the frequent Bandhs, Shutdowns and disturbance which as a consequence transformed Kashmir into a criminal hub. President Socialistic Democratic Party (SDP), Dr Darakhshan Andrabi on Friday took a brave step when she led thousands of protesters in Six kilometer long Anti-Hartal and Anti-stone pelting Rally in Shalteng village in Srinagar to condemn the ongoing process for last quite some time.Addressing protesters, she thrashed separatist leaders including Mehbooba and her brigade for inciting people for non productive ways like stone pelting and regular Hartal culture. She said that these foreign agents have transformed Kashmir into a criminal hub. The crimes range from gang-rape to supari killings; she said and criticized the present coalition for encouraging these elements for petty political gains. She said that people are not with separatists or militants but it is a game of fear that they are cashing, adding that all nationalists and the true well wishers of Kashmir to come forward and raise their voices against this slow-poisoning of the new generation of Kashmir. She criticised Hurriyat and their agents who were forcing and threatening people to go for Shut Downs and Hartals. She said that stone pelting culture speaks of the wild mindset of its advocates. Those who claim themselves as the representatives of the modern J&K should take it very seriously and oppose it as she has dared to break the ice.
