Mufti moots ‘Indian Davos’ in Gulmarg
Unveiling his plans to reposition J&K as country’s top tourist and all-season destination, J&K Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said he cherishes to promote Gulmarg as India’s Davos, where country's top business and policymakers can hold annual summits to frame new strategies in economic development. He gave this clarion call from Mumbai’s famous Hotel Taj Lands End, where he held detailed interactive session with the country’s prominent tour and travel operators. The Chief Minister was flanked by the Deputy Chief Minister, Dr. Nirmal Singh and Minister for Finance and Culture, Dr. Haseeb A. Drabu.
Drawing a parallel between Davos in Switzerland, which holds annual summits of World Economic Forum (WEF), and Gulmarg, Mufti Sayeed said the valley’s premier resort has all the required paraphernalia to host the country’s business leaders and policymakers for similar economic summits. “Gulmarg is a world-famous tourist destination. We have state-of-the-art cable car, high-end hotels, skiing and heli-skiing activities and great road connectivity. I wish we host Indian Davos at Gulmarg,” he said while seeking cooperation from one and all to change the course of J&K and remove the trust deficits.
Acknowledging the role of tour and travel players in promoting J&K especially through the recent difficult times, Mufti Sayeed said the State needs to be projected on a much bigger canvas as it offers diversity in culture, rich heritage, range of climates from the sub-tropical terrains of Jammu to the cold deserts of Ladakh, and the stunning locales of Kashmir. “I thank the tour operators of Maharashtra and Gujarat who reposed faith in us through the hard times of early and mid Nineties,” the Chief Minister said, adding various steps have been taken to go for infrastructure upgrade in the State. The Chief Minister informed the participants of the Government’s plans to go in for public-private participation through tourism sector by making available public assets for private use. Promising to end the culture of red-tape and bureaucratic impediments, Mufti Sayeed assured the tour operators of doing business with ease in J&K. “This season, you will definitely find a discernible change in how you are facilitated,” he stated.

Is Kashmir is returning in old days ?
Now days valley of Pahalgam is attracting everyone. Bollywood star Salman Khan is in valley for his film BJARANGI BHAI JAAN shooting from the last one week. Government is serious regarding his and team security. Government is giving a message to everybody that valley is now cool and peace. So it could attract tourist to valley, specially foreign tourist. Budgam area is in tense for the last few days, but then also Salu film shooting continues in Pahalgam. Anyway, this is a positive sign for Jannat of Universe.

Why you released Masarat Alam ?
After PDP-BJP government came to power in J&K, they released Masrat Alam, Which is opposed be everybody and alliance BJP too. Government says, decision of releasing Masarat taken before they came to power. But the question arise, when he announced for rally, why government not taken seriously. As everybody knows his comments are always anti Indian and pro Pakistan. Now Kashmir including main cities are burning. Masrat again taken to custody. Kashmir's present situation is not calm and normal. So at this situation again removing of AFSPA frm J&K is not right time.

Is J&K ready for revoke AFSPA ?
Army Chief (left) with Army Commander
New government of Jammu Kashmir once again trying for revocation of Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA). It is nothing new. This demand is being asked by all government's time to time. Whether It is Kashmir based political party National Conference or Peoples Democratic Party. After new government came to power, Chief minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed asked Central Govenment to revoke AFSPA. But on the other hand Army and Security agencies are not in favour of this. Few days ago Chief Minister Mufti Mohmmad Sayeed meets five top Commanders, including chiefs of Northern and Western Commands and 3 Corps commanders looking after the operational command of Jammu and Kashmir. After this meeting Army Chief General Dalbir Singh visited Udhampur-based Northern Command in Jammu and Kashmir and reviewed overall security situation of the State. Army Commander Lt Gen DS Hooda, who briefed him on the overall security situation in the Command theatre. The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) also interacted with other senior Commanders and discussed on that. The visit is more significant in view of Chief Minister Mufti Mohmmad Sayeed batting strongly for partial withdrawal of AFSPA from peaceful areas of J&K and chain of meeting with him by top Army commanders. Perhaps, everyone is asking, Is J&K ready for revoke AFSPA?
