Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna's wife Nirmal Khanna claims that Rubaiya Sayeed's kidnapping on 8 December 1989 was "just a drama to get the militants released". Same militants, she claims, killed her husband and three other IAF men at Rawalpora Srinagar on 25 January 1990. According to her, then Union Home Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's Jammu residence was just a few yards away from the Government house given to her by Governor Jagmohan but Mufti Sahab didn't turn up even for paying a lip service over the IAF officer's killing.

We too are often upset over poor service & the way many patients/ attendants are treated at hospitals. But this act by a councillor in Pulwama today is no way to talk to doctors & seeking services from a hospital. How can "new leadership in Kashmir" emerge from such councillors?

Kufr toota khuda khuda kar ké! Sanatnagar-Rawalpora FLYOVER on the National Highway Bypass in Srinagar. Finally thrown open for traffic this evening without any VVIP inauguration. Great relief for lakhs of people in Srinagar and across the Valley. This is the 4th after Nowgam, Hyderpora and Bemina. Two underpasses at Nowgam Railway Station crossing and Mominabad Batmaloo and one pedestrian footbridge at Children Hospital are coming up soon to further break the menace of unending traffic jams on the Bypass.

Displaced neurologist Dr Sushil Razdan has maintained his emotional bondage to Kashmir ever since his migration to Jammu in 1990. He visits the valley religiously, sometimes twice or more a month to see his patients, to stay with his friends, even to enjoy an hour in an open air swimming pool in subzero temperature. What made him quit a promising career at Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences Soura? Why did he leave Kashmir in March 1990? Why an extremely high prevalence of neurological disorders, including migraines, strokes and seizures in Kashmir? This all and much more straight from the living legend of neurology Dr Sushil Razdan in Episode-61 of "Kashmir Podcast With Ahmed Ali Fayyaz" on TALKISTAN (YouTube) from 8:00 PM today.

Why J&K doesn't have an Advocate General since October 2024: AG resigns after CM takes over in October 2024. CM asks him to continue. The Competent Authority (LG) of his appointment asks him not to continue. CM takes up issue with Delhi, not LG. Delhi asks him for a name. CM recommends a senior advocate to Delhi, not through proper channel to LG. For one year, it doesn't reach the Competent Authority in Srinagar from Delhi. The stalemate continues! The result is conflicting briefs from the two power centers to the team of the Government advocates. FOR THE FIRST TIME, CHIEF MINISTER OMAR ABDULLAH GIVES HIS VERSION ON THIS STALEMATE. Watch him in Episode-39 of "Kashmir Podcast With Ahmed Ali Fayyaz" on TALKISTAN:

According to Aga Ruhullah, after his defeat in the Lok Sabha elections from Baramulla Omar Abdullah was very much keen to himself contest the Assembly elections of 2024 from the NC's safest seat of Budgam. "He told me Aga Mehmood is a losing candidate; why should we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Thereafter he said we should field a Sunni Muslim candidate in Budgam. Finally he jumped in himself. I said fine. So who forced whom to contest in Budgam?" Watch the full 90-minute podcast with Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on TALKISTAN here:
