Beef on political platter: Are all parties playing with fire in J&K?

The National Conference today said that it will move a bill in the J&K Assembly to repeal the pre-independence beef ban law. The Opposition party also asked the PDP-BJP government to bring in an ordinance to allow beef ahead of Bakr-Id. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: is this just about politics since beef is not organic to Kashmiri culture and cuisine? Is the National Conference daring the PDP to go against the BJP? Is the PDP in catch-22 situation given the choice it has between people's sentiments and its alliance partner? And is the state government embarrassed by its own law officer, since the High Court order was on the PIL filed by J&K's Deputy Advocate General?

'Sacrificing' holiday on Bakr-Id: Rajasthan's selective festivity?

The Rajasthan Government has ordered state colleges to stay open for blood donation camps on September 25 to mark the birth anniversary of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya. The date coincides with Bakr-Id, and the cancellation of the holiday has Muslim groups outraged. The Rajasthan Government's move comes after the Centre observed Good Governance Day on Christmas last year, but preponed Teacher's Day celebration to September 4 to avoid a clash with Janamashtmi. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: is this selective festivity? First Christmas, now Eid, is this just a coincidence or a bias?
