    Kashmiri Group Hurriyat

    All of a sudden, there seems to be a flurry of activities and initiatives in Kashmir. First, the moderate members of the separatist Kashmiri group Hurriyat, led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq had a heart to heart talk with Prime Minister, after he extended an open invitation to them. Then, it was announced that the Border Security Force (BSF) – very unpopular in the valley – will be re­placed by the Cen­tral Reserve Police Force (CRPF).

    Fodder for scam


    The case was first unearthed in 1996, after the police found that money was being fraudulently withdrawn from the state treasury and shown as expenditure on animal fodder. The Patna High Court asked the CBI to inquire. It was discovered that close to Rs.9.5 billion was thus looted from the treasury. A total of 61 cases were filed in which Laloo Prasad was accused in nine cases. Laloo Yadav was jailed at least four times, and he was forced to resign as Bihar chief minister.
