India To Treat Pakistan’s Reference To Kashmir At UNSC Meeting “With Contempt It Deserves”

editor October 25, 2023

United Nations, Oct 25: India has said that it will not respond to Pakistan's mention of Kashmir in a Security Council meeting about the Israel-Gaza conflict, treating it with the disdain it merits. Ambassador R. Ravindra, India's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, made the comments on Tuesday in response to Pakistan's UN ambassador, Munir Akram, bringing up Kashmir at the Security Council meeting over the Middle East crisis. "One delegation made a habitual comment before I finished, referring to Union Territories as essential and inalienable parts of my country," Mr. Ravindra stated."In the interest of time, I would treat these remarks with the contempt they deserve and not dignify them with a response," Mr. Ravindra declared. Prior to this, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken addressed the Security Council, stating that all acts of terrorism, regardless of who is carrying them out—Hamas or Lashkar-e-Taiba, the terror group based in Pakistan, or individuals in Mumbai or Kibbutz Beeri—are illegal and indefensible."We have to uphold every country's right to self-defense and stop such atrocities from happening again. Mr. Blinken stated that "no nation in this body, nor any member of this Council, could or would tolerate the slaughter of its people." The United Nations General Assembly and this Council have emphasised time and again that no act of terrorism is legitimate or acceptable. Blinken informed the UN Security Council, "They're illegal and unjustifiable, whether they target individuals in Nairobi, Bali, Istanbul, Mumbai, New York, or Kibbutz Be'eri.Whether they are carried out by Hamas, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, ISIS, or Boko Haram, they are all illegal and indefensible. Whether the victims are singled out for their nationality, race, religion, or any other reason, they are illegal and unjustified, Mr. Blinken declared. He emphasised that it is the duty of the Security Council to condemn member nations that provide Hamas with weapons, financial support, or training, as well as "any other terrorist group that carries out such horrific acts." It seemed that Mr. Blinken was alluding to the terrorist attacks in Mumbai on November 26, 2001, which were carried out by Lashkar-e-Taiba, a group based in Pakistan.

Administration almost ‘manhandled’ Mehbooba, didn’t allow her to hold peaceful protest for Palestine: Iltija

editor October 25, 2023

SRINAGAR: Iltija Mufti, the media advisor of Mehbooba Mufti, the head of the People's Democratic Party, asserted on Tuesday that the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister was nearly "manhandled" when she attempted to organise a nonviolent demonstration in favour of Palestine during Israel's conflict. Iltija Mufti, a news conference speaker and Mehbooba Mufti's daughter, questioned the Jammu and Kashmir local administration further, questioning why it has been suppressing the PDP since 2019. Mehbooba Mufti was nearly violently attacked when she attempted to demonstrate in favour of Palestine. She was denied the right to peaceful protest.I would like to know why the local government has been suppressing the PDP since 2019. You accuse us of being anti-national. However, the things we wish to do are nonviolent," Iltija Mufti stated. Amidst the present Israel-Hamas conflict, which has resulted in over 5,000 deaths so far, Iltija made her thoughts. India has vehemently denounced the terror strikes that Hamas launched against Israel on October 7, which sparked a war that is currently in its eighteenth day. "Very horrified to learn about the terrorist attacks in Israel. Our hearts and prayers are with the families of the innocent victims. At this trying time, we are united in support of Israel," Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on social media, X. Iltija went on to say that during the previous two weeks, at least 1,500 children had been "slaughtered". "People are turning out in large numbers to support the Palestinian citizens who are victims of crimes committed against them. They are under attack from bombs made of phosphorus. In the last two weeks, at least 1,500 youngsters had been killed, the speaker claimed. Since October 7, Israeli attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 5,087 Palestinians. Mehbooba Mufti expressed her disapproval of Israel earlier on October 21 in response to the West Asian country's conflict with Hamas.Mehbooba Mufti and other demonstrators chanted "Israel go back" throughout the demonstration. In Palestine, 1,500 children have died. In Palestine, thousands of innocent people have perished. The entire globe is a spectator. When children were slain in Ukraine during their conflict with Russia, the world erupted in protest. Thousands of people have been slaughtered in Palestine recently, yet nobody is discussing it. We implore all countries to exert pressure on Israel to implement a cease-fire. In Palestine, atrocities are being committed. Israel is harming Palestinians with actions reminiscent of the Holocaust. In the long run, this can make things worse. Mehbooba Mufti declared, "Israelis have to evacuate Palestine.The vice president of the National Conference (NC) remarked that innocent people are dying in Gaza bombardment while addressing the media reporters present on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. We have been against what is taking place in Gaza since the very beginning. Bombs in Gaza are killing innocent people... The world has seen that Israel and Russia are subject to distinct laws," Abdullah remarked. Speaking to the media, he posed questions to the world community, saying, "If what Russia did to Ukraine was a war crime, then what Israel is doing to Gaza is not wrong? It is impossible for both to be true. The world must now determine what is right." said Abdullah.…

Only 10 Local Youth Joined Militancy In 2023: DGP

editor October 24, 2023

Srinagar, Oct 24: Director General Police Dilbagh Singh stated on Tuesday that just 10 local teenagers in Jammu and Kashmir joined militant ranks in 2023, compared to 110 the year before. Singh was making an appeal to the ultras to desist from violence and reintegrate into society. Following his visit to the Mata Badrakali Temple in Handwara, Kupwara district, Singh informed media that the militant movement in Jammu and Kashmir was "almost finished" and that its "remnants" will soon be eradicated.Only ten (local) teenagers have joined militancy this year. A year before, 110 had turned militant. How fortunate it would have been for none of them to enlist, as even out of the ten, six have already died and the other four will soon follow in death. "They ought to veer off the violent path and return," he declared.According to Singh, terrorists have families of their own, and security personnel are not made happy by these kinds of murders. Additionally, I would like to state that we are not at all pleased with the deaths of militants. They are part of a family as well. We desire that everyone who has strayed from the road of peace return, give up their weapons, and lead a regular life," he continued. Over the past five years, the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has significantly changed, according to the DGP."The militancy, which had descended upon Jammu and Kashmir as a whole like a tragedy, has nearly ended, and what remains will be eradicated shortly. "Everyone can now move around freely and there is no longer a sense of fear." We live in peaceful and happy times right now," he remarked. He said that there are very few active terrorists in North Kashmir, but there are a few strange floating militants that constantly move from one location to another. They'll be removed as well.
