Saifuddin Soz

Union Home Minister Amit Shah describing the alliance of mainstream political parties of Jammu and Kashmir as a "gang" has shown India and its democracy in extremely poor light, Congress leader Saifuddin Soz said on Wednesday, blaming the BJP for "great damage" to the country's democratic system.

A day after the Jammu and Kashmir administration told the Supreme Court that Saifuddin Soz "is not under detention", the Congress leader remained confined to his home and was not allowed by the police to either go out or let anyone in.

Congress leader and former Union Minister Saifuddin Soz is "free and not under detention," the Jammu and Kashmir administration today told the Supreme Court, which was hearing a petition by the politician's wife asking for his release from "illegal detention" and for him to be brought to the court. The Supreme Court accepted the administration's st...

The detention of Saifuddin Soz, senior political leader in Jammu and Kashmir, has reached the Supreme Court, which has issued a notice to the Centre and the administration of the Union Territory regarding his release.

The wife of former Union minister and senior Jammu and Kashmir Congress leader Saifuddin Soz moved the Supreme Court on Friday seeking he be produced before the court as also the scrapping of the order by which he has been under house arrest since August 5 last year.

A day after senior Congress leader Saifuddin Soz supported former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's assessment that Kashmiris will "prefer to be independent if they are given a chance to exercise their free will", the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has offered him an advice -- "move to Pakistan" -- and a "one-way ticket to Pakistan".

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday named two candidates for the Rajya Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir, scheduled to be held on February 7.

Ahead of announcement of elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Congress Minister Sham Lal Sharma, who has been facing criticism over handling of recent floods, has tendered his resignation from the Omar Abdullah ministry.

The Congress today formally ended its partnership with the National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir, saying it would "fight the forthcoming election on our own strength".

Omar Abdullah's move to withdraw the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from some areas of Jammu and Kashmir has in the past few days led to a confrontation with the Army. Today, Mr Abdullah's ally, the Congress, also questioned his announcement.

Noting that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) is not the "panacea of all diseases", Jammu and Kashmir state Congress tonight said if the government of India and the Army feel convinced that it can be removed from some areas, then it can be done."Militancy has gone down (in J&K).
