GUJARAT, Jan 12: Jammu and Kashmir is ready for a huge flood of investment. Lt Governor Manoj Sinha expressed confidence in the favourable reaction from businessmen and said he expects an investment of Rs 2500-3,000 crores in the near future. At the Jammu and Kashmir State Seminar's Vibrant Gujarat Summit, LG Manoj Sinha thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, highlighting the central sector initiative headed by the latter's vital role. Sinha praised the central government for offering sizeable incentives, indicating a favourable change in Jammu and Kashmir's investment environment."Jammu has all of the top educational institutions in the nation," stated LG Sinha. Not a shortage of competent labour. Exports of handloom goods are rising. The shift will be remembered over the course of four years. Compared to Gujarat, there is less crime. "We shall greet you with a red carpet instead of red tape. Jammu and Kashmir has abundant natural resources and large magnesium deposits. What makes investing in Jammu & Kashmir worthwhile? – beneficial to businesses and offers improved healthcare, he claimed. "After a long time, PM Modi made it conducive to business," he continued.

LG "Someone will only invest when there is some kind of profit," Sinha stated.Putting money into Jammu and Kashmir is putting money into India, into the country's integrity and unity. Sinha expressed hope about the revolutionary changes seen over the last four years while also acknowledging Gujarat's critical position in India's growth trajectory and the wounds of the past. Sinha highlighted a recent research that ranked Jammu and Kashmir as the most searched-for destination on the internet, exceeding even Switzerland, and highlighted Prime Minister Modi's goal for the region.He ascribed this interest to the stable, viable, and peaceful climate created in Jammu and Kashmir, bringing good attention abroad. "We will make it better than Davos," boasted LG Manoj Sinha, alluding to the renowned Swiss Alps town that hosts the World Economic Forum. He praised Jammu for having world-class educational institutions and underlined the region's wealth of highly qualified labour. In contrast to Gujarat, Sinha emphasised the favourable economic data, including as rising handloom exports and declining crime rates. He assured investors that Jammu and Kashmir would welcome them with a red carpet, not red tape, promoting a suitable business environment. LG Sinha drew attention to the region's natural resources, highlighting the possibility for investment by mentioning the finding of substantial magnesium deposits. He gave a summary of the advantages of investing in Jammu and Kashmir, focusing on the region's economic and healthcare sectors. Answering questions about security, Sinha said, "Jammu and Kashmir is a part of India. In Jammu and Kashmir, terrorism is dying; our neighbours have tried numerous times. The terror ecosystem will be dismantled. We think that creating peace is more important than purchasing it. He reaffirmed his determination to bring about peace rather than buy it and expressed optimism about the region's future prospects for stability and economic growth. [caption id="attachment_8841"…

editor Leave a comment

New Delhi, Jan 12: The new law, which calls for the Chief Election Commissioner and other election commissioners to be appointed by a panel that does not include the Chief Justice of India, was denied a stay by the Supreme Court on Friday. On the other hand, a bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta decided to review a number of petitions that opposed the new law and gave the Centre notice. In support of Congress leader Jaya Thakur, who was requesting a stay on the new law, the bench directed veteran lawyer Vikas Singh to serve a copy of the petition to the Center's legal representative. "Please revoke this legislation. This goes against the division of powers, stated Singh. Singh was told by the bench, "No, we can't till we hear the other side. We'll send out a note.A political dispute over the removal of Chief Justice of India (CJI) from a panel tasked with selecting chief election commissioners (CECs) and election commissioners (ECs) has prompted a number of petitions, including Thakur's, to be filed before the top court. In addition, lawyer Gopal Singh filed a petition with the highest court, requesting the repeal of the recently passed legislation that gives the federal government broad authority to choose members of the poll board. Singh's suit asks the supreme court to order the establishment of a "neutral and independent selection committee for the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners (CEC and ECs)," as well as a "independent and transparent system of selection."According to the newly enacted legislation, "the President shall appoint the Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners upon the recommendation of a Selection Committee composed of — (a) the Prime Minister — Chairperson; (b) the Leader of the Opposition in the House of the People — Member; and (c) a Union Cabinet Minister to be nominated by the Prime Minister — Member..." The opposition has charged that by removing the CJI from the selection panel, the Modi administration disregarded the Supreme Court. The prime minister, the head of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, and the CJI would choose the CEC and the ECs, according to a March 2023 ruling by the Supreme Court.

ED summons NC president Farooq Abdullah for questioning in money laundering case

editor Leave a comment

JAMMU: According to official sources on Wednesday, the president of the National Conference (NC), Farooq Abdullah, has been asked by the Enforcement Directorate to appear for questioning in a money laundering case on Thursday. It is believed that the 86-year-old lawmaker was summoned in relation to the federal agency's inquiry into purported anomalies inside the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA). The Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed charges against the MP representing Srinagar in the Lok Sabha in 2022. The Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association's money were embezzled, according to the ED, by the transfer of funds to a number of unconnected parties' personal bank accounts, including those of JKCA office bearers, and through mysterious cash withdrawals from JKCA bank accounts. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) charge sheet against the same accused, submitted in 2018, serves as the foundation for the agency's case. Abdullah, a former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, has been summoned to appear in person at the ED office in Srinagar.
