editor October 27, 2023

NEW DELHI, Oct 27: On Friday, October 27, 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a new offensive against the Congress, calling 2014 a "badlav" (change), a year when people abandoned antiquated phones with frozen screens in favour of a government that had completely changed the country. Speaking at the India Mobile Congress, Modi cited data to demonstrate how the nation went from being an importer of mobile phones to an exporter and how major tech companies, such as Apple and Google, are vying to establish manufacturing operations in India. "2014 isn't just a year; it's 'badlav,' or change," declared the prime minister.Mr. Modi made jabs at the Congress-led UPA, comparing it to old phones with frozen screens that won't turn on no matter how many swipes or buttons are tapped, and comparing the previous government to a similar frozen state. "Phones made in India" PM Modi stated, "A restart, charging the battery, or even changing the battery did not work." "People left such antiquated phones in 2014, giving us a chance to serve the nation."According to Mr Modi, India is moving forward to become a leader in the field of 6G after launching the fastest 5G mobile phone network. The Prime Minister said that "made in India" phones are in use worldwide. According to him, India's mobile broadband speed has improved from 118th to 43rd place. In just a year after 5G was rolled out, four lakh 5G base stations have been installed. According to the prime minister, the government's top objective is granting residents access to resources, finance, and technology.

"It is really concerning that militancy is resurrecting in Rajouri, Poonch, and other border areas.The BJP government's shortcomings in the security domain have contributed to the resurgence of militancy, the speaker stated. He claimed that the politics of the BJP were polarising and predicated on hatred and division. He declared that the BJP-RSS's plans to divide people along religious and regional lines would be defeated by the Congress. "The BJP government, instead of focusing on development and protection of people, especially in border areas, is out to mislead people," he stated. "...the Centre's failure on the security front has led to the militancy revival, which is a matter of grave concern and should work as an eye-opener for BJP leaders who are only making tall claims and praising the Modi government for nothing," he stated.According to Wani, the Congress would do everything within its power to guarantee that the populace lives with dignity. Raman Bhalla, the working president of the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee, criticised the BJP during his speech and charged it with misrepresenting the public.

editor October 27, 2023

LONDON: On Thursday, the UK Parliament observed Jammu & Kashmir Day, commemorating the 76th anniversary of the former princely state's admission to India on October 26, 1947. The Jammu Kashmir Diaspora in the UK organised the event, which was hosted by Bob Blackman, MP for Harrow East. Theresa Villiers MP from Chipping Barnet and Jonathan Lord MP from Woking were among the lawmakers in attendance. Maharaja Hari Singh's grandson and granddaughter-in-law, Ajatshatru Singh and Dr. Ritu Singh, were honoured guests for the event.After welcoming the special visitors, MP Jonathan Lord, Dr. Gautam Sen discussed the difficulties the Kashmiri Pandits confront as a result of a lack of political will to support their rehabilitation. The Dogra dynasty was instrumental in creating the princely state of Jammu & Kashmir, according to Ajatshatru Singh. Theresa Villiers highlighted the importance of Jammu Kashmir Day and the advancements made since Article 370 was revoked, while Sushil Pandit talked about the predicament of the Kashmiri Pandit community. In the House of Commons, MP Bob Blackman presented a signed copy of the Instrument of Accession, praised the Indian diaspora for their ongoing observance of this day, and asked Pakistan to put an end to state-sponsored terrorism in order to bring about long-lasting peace in the area. Ritu Singh's optimistic assessment of social and cultural projects that prioritise women's empowerment and regional economic development brought the programme to a close. She gave MPs a piece of Basohli art created by Paper Baag. The success of the event was largely due to the efforts of volunteers like Sonal Sher, Shafalica Bhan Kotwal, Anupama Handoo, Vinod Tikoo, Anupam Fotedar, Lalit Sharma, Pankaj Raina, and others. Political and community activists from the UK, the British Indian community, and the PoJK Diaspora attended.

BJP pursuing anti-people policies in J&K: Omar

editor October 27, 2023

POONCH: Omar Abdullah, the vice president of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, chastised the Central government for its inability to bring democracy back to J&K, pointing out that while the nation takes pleasure in being recognised as the birthplace of democracy worldwide, Jammu and Kashmir still lacks access to it. During a one-day delegate session in Surankote in Poonch, he made this statement. Senior party leader Javed Rana called the meeting. Criticising the absence of democracy in J&K, Omar claimed that the absence of a democratic administration is at its worst over the entire area."The last Assembly elections were held in 2014, which was about ten years ago. While people in J&K are unified in their desire to bring democracy back, he said, "those in power are not prepared to acknowledge the seriousness of the situation." Omar denounced the oppressive policies of the current bureaucratic system, citing increased electricity costs, tolls, inflation, and ration restrictions as examples of how people are being persecuted. PDD introduced digital metres initially. These digital metres had been replaced with smart metres in a matter of days. Why were digital metres put in the first place, one may wonder? For what purpose are the crores of money that were spent on them? Every year, the cost of water rises, despite the urgent global need for clean drinking water. Everywhere you go, the roads are in poor shape. The government has been working on opening the Surankote road for years, but it doesn't seem serious about finishing it. The government's sole accomplishment, he claimed, is having wine shops in every corner of J&K. Omar criticised the government for its lax approach to holding elections in Jammu and Kashmir, stating that while individuals in "New Delhi" claim that India is the mother of democracy, they fail to show the same love for their mother when they visit Jammu and Kashmir. He stated that it has been nine years since the last election held in this location in 2014. "I fail to see why elections are not being held in Jammu and Kashmir. The right to choose one's government belongs to the people. It is obvious that individuals who carry a large BJP placard are afraid inside and are ill-prepared to deal with the public; this dread must have grown in the wake of the Kargil election results," he remarked. On this occasion, senior leaders Ali Mohd Sagar, Th Yashu Rachpal Singh, Mian Altaf, Ajay Sadhotra, Rattan Lal Gupta, Abdul Gani Malik, Aijaz Jan, Ch Naseem Liyaqat, Zeeshan Rana, and Abdul Gani Malik were present.
