editor December 23, 2023

JAMMU: As security forces continued their massive search operation to find terrorists responsible for the recent ambush on two Army vehicles that left five soldiers dead, mobile Internet services were suspended in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch and Rajouri districts early on Saturday, officials said. The mysterious deaths of three people who were allegedly picked up by the Army for questioning and the widespread anger that resulted from the release of videos allegedly depicting the suspects being tortured led to the suspension of mobile Internet services in the twin border districts.Official sources said that mobile Internet services were suspended in the districts of Poonch and Rajouri as a preventive measure to check rumor-mongering and stop miscreants from creating any law and order issues, even though both Army and civil authorities are mum about the actual situation. The sources stated that in order to maintain peace, more police and paramilitary personnel were stationed in sensitive areas of the districts and that senior Army, police, and civil officers were keeping an eye on the situation. At Dhatyar Morh, between Dhera Ki Gali and Bufliaz, under the control of Surankote police station in Poonch, three to four heavily armed terrorists targeted an army gipsy and a truck late on Thursday afternoon, killing five soldiers and wounding two more.Following the assault, it was reported that the terrorists stole some of the soldiers' weapons and disfigured the bodies of at least two soldiers. Following the attack, a massive search and rescue operation was initiated in the heavily forested areas, including Thanamandi in Rajouri. However, according to the officials, there has been no new communication with the terrorists who are escaping. Three people who were being questioned by the Army in relation to the attack on Thursday passed away inexplicably on Friday. According to the sources, while the inquiry into their deaths is ongoing, their bodies have been turned over to their relatives for final ceremonies. Safeer Hussain (43), Mohd Showket (27) and Shabir Ahmad (32) of Topa Peer village in Bufliaz were identified as the deceased; however, the reason for their demise was not immediately known.

“Very Dangerous For Our Country’s Unity”: Kiren Rijiju Rips Congress

editor December 21, 2023

New Delhi, Dec 21: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju criticised leaders of the Congress and the DMK, India's two main block partners, on Thursday for their "disparaging" comments regarding the recent historic Supreme Court decision that upheld the region's division into two distinct Union Territories (UTs)—Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh—and upheld the revocation of special constitutional privileges under Article 370 from the former state of Jammu and Kashmir. "This is not only pejorative remarks on the Supreme Court but the motive behind is very dangerous for our country's unity," Rijiju wrote from his official X handle, sharing a video clip of the Lok Sabha's proceedings during the current Winter Session of Parliament.The Rajya Sabha floor saw a heated exchange between DMK MP Mohamad Abdulla and Congress member Venugopal, who were heard criticising the apex court's ruling on the abrogation of Article 370. Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar reprimanded the members, telling them that "they can't ridicule the judgement of the highest court of law." The video clip was shared by the Union Minister. Although India is renowned for its diversity, it will fragment if the Congress and DMK agenda is allowed to gain traction.The Union Minister continued, "Freedom of speech is not for self-determination," in his post. Congress Rajya Sabha MP KC Venugopal is heard in the video defending the DMK member, saying, "The member has the freedom to speak about that (Supreme Court judgement)." He is perfectly entitled to disagree with the ruling as well. During a debate on two draft legislations on Jammu and Kashmir in the Upper House, DMK MP Mohamad Abdulla said, "Every race has a right to self-determination that appeals to the people of Kashmir," which caused a rift in the Treasury benches.Dhankhar expressed his strong disapproval of the DMK MP's comments by saying, "This is improper." A ruling has been rendered by the nation's highest court. The honourable member is discussing...You cannot make fun of the verdict. "Freedom of speech does not grant you the right to express yourself however you want. You must be very responsible. Dhankhar cautioned Venugopal, saying, "You have to take responsibility." Previously, the Supreme Court affirmed the Union government's choice to remove Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, ruling that no decision made by the federal government on behalf of a state could be overturned in court.
