According to the KNS correspondent, Jaitley while addressing newsmen at SKICC at the end of his two-day visit to the state maintained while answering a question whether New Delhi was in favour of holding talks with the separatists-said that the government would talk with “anyone who respects the constitution and India’s sovereignty”.

Over the period of time, we have to watch how the situation progresses,” Jaitley stated while addressing the press conference.

PDP seeks Jaitley’s intervention in speeding Social welfare employees up land compensation, rental issues san promotions
Srinagar, Jun 15 : Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today sought the intervention of the Union Defence Minister to ensure speedy disposal of land compensation and rental cases pertaining to the assets under the use of Army in Kashmir. According to the statement issued to KNS, “There are hundreds of cases where the compensation/rentals for the land
under Army use have been settled but the money is not being disbursed among the people due to procedural delays,” senior PDP leader and Member Parliament Tariq Hameed Karra said while addressing people in Ganderbal Assembly segment. He said the Union Defence Minister, Arun Jaitley should take a call on the matter and order speedy disbursement of the land compensation/rent as, for most
of the people this is the only source of income. Expressing dismay over the curtailment of flight timings at the Srinagar International Airport, Karra sought the intervention of the Defense Minister in the matter so that the tourist season doesn’t get affected due to the decision of the Indian Air Force (IAF). Karra said given the fact that June, July and August is the peak tourist season in Kashmir, the IAF decision to begin runway renovation at this time seems to be an unwise move as it will jeopardize the tourist arrivals to Kashmir which is already facing a brunt due to excessive air travel charges. Referring to the local issues of Ganderbal constituency, Karra said that several areas especially in Sherpathri belt are facing acute drinking water and irrigation water scarcity and the government must address the issue on priority. He said the locals complain that no water is being released from the power canal for the irrigation purposes severely hitting the agriculture activity in the area. Senior PDP leader Qazi Mohammad Afzal also addressed the public meetings. (KNS)

Death of pregnant woman at SDH Pattan Axe falls on 4 poor employees, transferred to far flung areas
Srinagar, Jun 15: After the probe was ordered into the death of the pregnant woman at sub district hospital Pattan, the CMO Baramulla has ‘ironically’ transferred four poor class-IV employees who even were not present at the time when the incident took place. The government on Sunday assured action against the measure. After the transfer of two lady doctors in connection with May 28 incident
11 killed in Afghanistan blast Kabul, June 15: Eleven people died after a roadside bomb exploded in the northwestern Afghanistan province of Badghis, officials said Tuesday. Sediq Sediqi, an Afghan interior ministry spokesman, blamed the attack on the Taliban. Afghanistan is in the midst of the Eid al-Adha holiday. It’s the third strike in recent days in which alleged Taliban insurgents have killed or injured innocent civilians, NATO’s International Security Assistance Force said. “The Taliban once again killed many civilians including women and children during holy Eid day. This is yet another extreme kind of crime and atrocity by the Taliban,” Sediqi said. The blast hit three police vehicles, killing two police officers and nine civilians from the same family, including six children, Sediqi said. The ISAF also said six children were killed, and said the other two civilians were women. Sediqi said the attack occurred Monday. Gen. John Allen, ISAF commander, and Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the attack. “These explosives planted by insurgents again targeted civil-
ians, including children,” Allen said in a news release. “Their barbaric tactics have no place in society, and these enemies of peace will be held to account for killing and maiming the innocent children of this nation.” He said the repeated attacks by “alleged Taliban fighters are puzzling, particularly during one of the holiest celebrations of the year.” On Sunday, seven civilians were killed and 17 were wounded during a Taliban suicide attack at a mosque in the Jirqishlaq Hasan Tal area of Baghlan province, ISAF said. Another attack came on Monday in the vicinity of Pul-e Khumri in Baghlan. A suspected Taliban suicide bomber blew himself up and hurt six members of the Afghan security forces “after they identified and shot him,” ISAF said. Despite the string of strikes, Afghan and ISAF forces “have taken back key Taliban territory across Afghanistan in 2011 and are continuing to hold it, allowing security conditions to continue to improve,” Allen said in the news release. “We have reliable information
that they continue to remain on their respective positions from the last two decades. The delegation of the employees told KNS that there are around 50-60 helpers in the department who have not been promoted neither any DPC has been conducted so far for the same.

showing that large numbers of Taliban and insurgent leaders are choosing to phone in their operational orders from Pakistan, abandoning their own foot soldiers, who are left behind to conduct the fighting,” he said. “The leaders have fled, forced out by the overwhelming ability of Afghan and coalition forces. Perhaps these Eid holiday attacks on civilians are a sign of just how ineffective and unreliable their ‘absent leader strategy’ can be.” Allen encouraged insurgents fed up with violence “to seek out a local reintegration center, and their village and district elders, (and) to become a positive, contributing member of Afghanistan’s future.” “Every single Taliban and insurgent fighter should take a moment to reflect on just what is at stake, and whether the fight against peace is still worth it,” Allen said. “If they choose to ignore guidance set forth by leaders like Mullah Omar, and they lack leadership and direction from those who cynically command them to their deaths from the safety of foreign lands, these may be signs that there is another path -- a path toward peace.”
when a pregnant woman died in the sub district hospital Pattan, the authorities took action against the class- iv employees of the hospital, transferring them to far flung areas. According to the KNS correspondent, after a pregnant woman died, the state government ordered the probe on very same day making the deputy director health the head of the probe committee.The See Death on pg 07

PM Modi vows to nurture ‘B2B’ ties on first foreign Thimphu,June 15: Making Bhutan his first foreign destination, PM Narendra Modi vowed to nurture bilateral relations which he described as “B2B Bharat to Bhutan” as he held talks with the Bhutanese King and the Premier, discussing an entire gamut of ties. Embarking on a two-day trip to display special and unique status for Bhutan in India’s foreign policy, Prime Minister Modi also inaugurated the Supreme Court complex built by India as part of the developmental cooperation. “The primary focus of both the meetings was the extensive development cooperation between the two countries and measures to enhance the economic ties,” official sources said on Sunday. Modi described the bilateral relations as “B2B relations. Bharat to Bhutan relations,” the sources said on his meeting with Bhutanese King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk and Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay. Modi announced doubling of scholarships being provided to Bhutanese students in India which will now be worth Rs two crore. Prime Minister Modi also promised to assist Bhutan in setting up a digital library which will provide access to Bhu-
tanese youth to two million books and periodicals. The fact that the Prime Minister chose Bhutan as his first foreign destination assumes significance since China has lately intensified efforts to woo it and establish full- fledged diplomatic ties with Thimphu. Modi, accompanied by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh, was accorded a grand welcome as he arrived at the Paro airport and was received by Tobgay and several of his Cabinet colleagues. The Bhutanese government rolled out the red carpet as Modi was given a ceremonial guard of honour. See PM on pg 07

Jaitley prevailing tension on LOC and the cease fire violations, Jaitley stated, “For the situation to normalise I think it is extremely important that these kind of violations which are taking place at the LoC must stop. That in itself is a confidence building measure before any country can proceed further.” “Talks and aggression can’t go together. For the situation to normalise, it is important for the ceasefire violations to stop,” he said, adding that he “came here to review security, I am quite optimistic about the situation here”, he stated after visiting the LOC on Sunday. “I wish that peace prevails here... I am going back with the sense of reasonable satisfaction,” said Jaitley while concluding the press conference. Meanwhile,responding to the statement of Defence Minister Arun Jaitley that the government would talk with “anyone who respects the constitution and India’s sovereignty”, Kashmir’s pro-freedom camp Sunday cautioned that Kashmir can never be resolved under the framework of Indian constitution. “Our stand vis-à-vis Kashmir resolution is clear. We want Kashmir to be settled after the talks with all the stakeholders of the dispute are held. As far as the resolution of Kashmir is concerned, it cannot be solved under the Indian constitution. Kashmir can either be solved through UN resolutions or through the tri-partite talks between the stakeholders of the dispute,” chairman Hurriyat Conference (M) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq told KNS. Over the revocation of AFSPA, Mirwaiz stated that the act has been kept in Kashmir for the ‘psychological suppression’ of the people here. “There is no logic that supports presence of lakhs of troops and AFSPA here. It is being deliberately kept to create terror in people’s mind.” Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Mohammad Yasin Malik while slamming the statement of defense minister stated that the people of Kashmir are fighting for their right and that the resolution of Kashmir can never be under the purview of the Indian constitution. “The people here are not beggars. We are fighting for our birth right and will continue to do so. Indian constitution umbrella can never resolve Kashmir,” Malik told KNS over phone. Hurriyat Conference (JK) senior leader Shabir Ahmad Shah while slamming the statement of Arun Jaitley told KNS that the struggle for the right of self determination shall continue and that such statements shall not hinder upon the resolve of the people of Kashmir. “We will continue to fight. This nation shall not get tired. We will continue to fight on political ground sans any compromise in the same vigor as was done by India against Britain.” He also maintained that the policies of Congress and BJP vis-à-vis Kashmir resolution are same and that the duo is the two sides the same coin. Hurriyat Conference (G) chief spokesman Ayaz Akbar stated that Kashmir is an internationally accepted dispute with the world community understanding its seriousness. “Kashmir can only be resolved without the constitution of India. We have fight over very such bases. How is this possible that talks under such purview shall be held?,” Ayaz told Kashmir News Service. (KNS)

Modi expressed satisfaction at India being considered as a privileged partner of Bhutan and underlined that his government “would not only nurture these strong bonds but would also strengthen them.” Prime Minister Modi emphasised on the possibilities of greater educational contacts and suggested doubling of scholarships being provided to Bhutanese students in India. Modi thanked the Bhutanese leadership for the warm welcome that had been arranged for him, saying this reflected the warmth in the bilateral relations. “He applauded the personal efforts made in ensuring the success of his first visit outside India,” the sources said.

Kerry said the brave Afghans de-
fied the threat of violence and voted because they wanted to set the course for a more inclusive, prosperous, and stable future. “I’ve been to Afghanistan twice since becoming Secretary of State and many times before that. Every time I do, I’m impressed by how much Afghans have sacrificed for their future,” he said.

Fruit growers appeal CM for intervention Srinagar, Jun 15 (KNS): In the middle of peak cherry season the Indian Airport Authority while deciding to start renovation and upgradation of runway in the Srinagar Airport have restricted the transportation of cherry from Srinagar to its various station like, Mumbai, Kolkatta, Pune, Hyderabad, Bagalore, Goa, Chennai, Delhi this move of the Srinagar Airport Authority have led the valley based cherry gorwers in great concern with the apprehension of heavy and unrecoverable losses, said New Kashmir Fruit Association The statement issued to KNS maintained that infact all the varieties of cherry crop has produced this year altogether due to poor weather condition with cold waves and constant rainfalls during the months of April and May.
