Srinagar, Aug, 10 (KNS): Peoples Demo-cratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti, Sunday, said PDP has been able to inspire confidence, among a majori-ty of the people in all the regions of the state, about its ability to solve the multi-ple problems faced by Jammu and Kash-mir on political, economic, administra-tive and financial front.According to a statement issued to KNS, while addressing a meeting of the prom-inent leaders, office bearers, and prom-inent workers of North Kashmir here today, she said the party, with a decisive mandate, will carry forward its agenda of political resolution, good gov-ernance and employment gen-eration and convert Jammu and Kashmir into a real welfare state.Mehbooba said apart from political, admin-istrative and finan-cial mess that the present coalition gov-ernment has pushed the state into the new challenges which can be addressed if the PDP, under Muf-ti Mohammad Sayeed, gets a clear man-date from the people. She said vision, of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed about the res-olution of political problems of the state, is already underway after the historic initiatives of 2003.The PDP Chief, who represents South Kashmir in Lok Sabha, said the Prime Minister- Vajpayee’s bold initiatives were possible only when a chief minister of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s political sagacity, maturity and vision was at the helm in the state. Till then his (Vajpay-

ee’s) ally government led by NC in the state, with a brute majority of 60 mem-bers in the assembly, had compromised on already every issue ranging from recommendation of bombing Pakistan to banning of new schools, recruitment to government jobs, banning shahtoos a n d handing over the best

power projects to the Centre.

Mehbooba said the Lok Sabha elections have provided a cred-ible platform for the work-ers and cadres of the party to build for a de-cisive mandate from the people.

“Instead of b r e e d -i n g

over-confidence or complacence, it should inspire us to reach out to all sec-tions of society and those who still are not convinced about our intentions and agenda need to be approached with hu-mility.”She said the political subversion and un-certainty that the state has faced in the last seven decades has already taken a heavy toll on the state, its economy and human resources and it can ill afford any further disruption and the attempts being made currently by

and route-wise Action Plan for Ya-tra 2015, keeping in view the expe-riences gained during this year’s pilgrimage.

Tehran, August 10: An Irani-an passenger plane crashed on Sunday moments after takeoff from Tehran, killing at least 48 on board and narrowly avoid-ing many more deaths when it plummeted near a busy mar-

ket.The plane was headed to the eastern city of Tabas, the IRNA and Fars news agencies said, when it crashed at 9.18 am local time, after leaving Mehrabad airport. It triggered a fireball when it smashed into the capital's Azadi neighbourhood, close

to where hundreds of military families live, and only a few hundred metres (yards) from a row of shops. Iran's deputy transport minis-ter, Ahmad Majidi, said the An-tonov An-140 turboprop plane

had 40 passengers, including six children, and eight crew on board, and he put the death toll at 38. A fire official initially said all on board had been killed but Fars later reported that 37 bod-ies were sent to the morgue and IRNA said nine people were hospitalised, two of them criti-

cally injured. The aircraft was operated by Sepahan Airlines and a tailfin bearing the company's dolphin logo could be seen sticking out of the road as security forc-es cordoned off the crash site where firefighters had doused the flames. Black smoke billowed from the mass of burnt out twisted metal, with officials saying the plane hit a wall and trees. "The scene was terrible, with the back of the plane in the middle of the street," one eye-witness said. "But we were lucky because there was a market 500 metres (yards) away and a lot of people were there." Another eyewitness told state television: "I was on my mo-torbike and I heard something behind me. I turned round and it was a plane, so I got on to the ground because it was so close. "With other people, we ran to try and save the passengers but there were two or three loud ex-plosions and a huge fire." Mehrabad airport is near cen-tral Tehran and

Gaza, August 10: Bloodbath in Gaza con-tinued unabated on Sunday with Israeli jets pounding the coastal strip, even as the fragile peace process got a new lease of life with Palestinian nego-tiators saying they have ac-cepted an Egyptian proposal for a new 72-hour truce with Israel.We are here to look for an agreement. We cannot have an agreement without talks, so we accepted an Egyptian proposal to have a cease-fire for 72 hours in order to re-sume the talks," a Palestin-ian negotiator said on Sun-day. The decision was confirmed by other Palestinian negoti-ators as well, Al-Arabiya re-ported. It was not yet known as to when the ceasefire would come into effect as there was no response from the Israeli side. The Palestinian decision came after Is-rael said it was prepared for a protract-ed military action in Gaza and would not return to Egyptian-mediated "negotia-tions under fire".The Palestinian decision could pave the

way for renewed negotiations with Is-rael on a long-term durable truce in the Gaza Strip. Earlier, Palestinian negotiators said

they would leave if Israel did not attend without preconditions. "If the Israelis do not come, we will leave to consult with our leadership," said Iz-zat Al-Risheq, a member of the Palestin-ian negotiation team. "We gave our demands to

deployed around 3,000 soldiers on the glacier where temperatures can drop to minus 60 degrees and almost 80% posts are located above 16,000 feet, with Bana post towering above the rest at 21,753 feet.Holding on to Siachen has cost the army more than 860 lives over the last 30 years, with extreme climate and terrain chiefly to blame. Guarding the glacier also costs Rs 5 crore daily.Several rounds of talks between India and Pakistan on demilitarizing the glacier have failed in the past. Successive army chiefs have warned against with-drawing from the glacier until Pakistan authenticates troop positions, as it would be a formidable task to re-claim Siachen. (KNS)

some quarters to squeeze the space for its residents will have to be met with maturity, wisdom, collective action and democratic assertion of our rights. Mehbooba said the credentials of the PDP, in the gov-ernment and in opposition, are impressive and any comparison of this party with NC is not only out of place, but patently unfair. She said NC has been the dominant political force in the state from last eight decades, half of which period it has been with power with huge electoral majority. Compare to that, she said, Mufti saab has spent most of his political life in opposition and struggling to establish an alternative in a unipolar political system where NC was the only dominant orbiter. “Our comparison is logical and fair only if one considers the 36 months of Mufti saab-led government with the more than 36-years during which NC enjoyed power,” she said.Mehbooba said the doors of the PDP are open for all the people who have good of the state at heart, and it was positive that professionals and non-professional people who have distinguished themselves in differ-ent fields are joining the party in large numbers in all the regions.She said the prospects of a rout in the coming elec-tions have frustrated the government and it is em-ploying all tricks to somehow survive on the political landscape. Mehbooba said the NC-led government is trying to employ strong arm methods against the offi-cials and the workers of the PDP to harass them into submission on the other hand they are making false promises, fake and funny foundation laying and rib-bon cutting ceremonies and inventing new methods of selling non-existent jobs. “They have even created a category of employees who are issued orders against unpaid vacancies,” she said and remarked that cre-ation of an unpaid category of employees could only be attributed to the genius of NC, which has used ‘aza-di’, ‘raishumari’ and ‘autonomy’ in the past with good results for itself but unpaid category of employees would certainly boomerang on them and this would be their last dirty trick to be played on innocent and gullible people. She said even for unpaid jobs, the agents of the ruling parties are collecting money from the youth.Reminding the party functionaries about the need of voter registration, Mehbooba said they should make sure that every voters gets registered, who have not registered themselves till now.Speaking on the occasion the party General Secre-tary, Mohammad Dilawar Mir, said the PDP is strong enough to take up the emerging challenges, posed by the different forces in the state, head-on, but for that the party cadres have to work hard on the ground and make a close liaison with the people. “There are forces active on ground with dangerous agenda to divide the people on the name of religion and region and their ev-ery attempt has to be defeated with firmness,” he said. Mir blamed both National Conference and Congress leadership for the mess in the state and said they have to answer for all the frauds and atrocities they have committed in the state over the years. Nizam u Din Bhat, Abdul Haq Khan, Sofi Gh Mohi U Din, Javid Hussain Baig, Zaffar Iqbal Manhas, Naeem Akhtar, Mohammad Yasir Reshi, Fayaz Ahmad Mir, Mohammad Abbas WAni, Gh Nabi Pandithpori, Raja Aijaz Ali, Nazir Ahmad Naiku, Raja Manzoor and oth-ers were also present on the ocaassion.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said Israel will not return to talks while Palestinian mili-tants continue cross-border rocket attacks. "Israel will not engage in negotiations under fire, and will continue to act in every way to change the cur-rent reality and to bring quiet to all of its citizens," he told a cabinet meeting at the defence ministry in Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, hostilities have continued unabated since the collapse of the three-day truce on Friday with the Israeli military hitting 150 targets, killing 15 people, and Palestinian militants firing more than 100 rockets into Israel. The Israeli air force struck at least 20 targets in Gaza overnight. There was no let up in violence with a 17-year-old boy killed in an Israeli strike on central Gaza, medics said. Tensions have also been growing in the West Bank where protesters clashed with Israeli troops. A 11-year-old Palestinian boy was shot dead by Israeli troops in a refugee camp in the southern West Bank on Sunday. Over a month of bloody fighting has killed more than 2,000 Palestinians and 67 in Israel, most of them sol-diers. About 10,000 people have been injured in the conflict.

I have found 700 different ways not to make a light bulb.” So,

persistence and a strong belief in one’s self is the key to success, says Sahil.
