All is not well with I.N.D.I.A bloc : Omar

editor October 31, 2023

SRINAGAR: Amidst a dispute between the Congress and Samajwadi Party on seat distribution in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, Omar Abdullah, the leader of the National Conference, stated on Monday that the circumstances within the opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc were concerning. "Not everything is good in the I.N.D.I.A alliance. There are some unnecessary internal disputes to be seen, particularly in the five states where elections are being held. We have witnessed the ongoing conflict between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress. Both have declared their intention to run for every seat in the UP. The INIDIA alliance will not benefit from this.Perhaps after these state elections, we will get together once more and attempt to collaborate," Abdullah told reporters in the Kupwara district of north Kashmir. When asked if he had said anything negative about members of the People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) criticising one another, Abdullah said that he had not. "I have not made any statements. Despite the fact that we have been targeted for the previous few months, I have not targeted any of my pals. However, it's also true that I haven't attempted to stop my colleague for the first time," he stated. At a party event last week, Abdullah made obvious reference to PDP leaders' criticism of the National Conference by stating that his party had plenty to discuss if it were to discuss raking up the past. "We have a lot on our minds. We don't need to go back that far; we only need to go back three or four years since they have been causing problems for the previous thirty years," he continued. In response to the BJP's assertion that the circumstances in Kashmir were typical, the former chief minister questioned why, in the event that the conditions were typical, there were no elections in Jammu and Kashmir. "Why are elections not held if everything is as it should be? What's the justification? In Srinagar, a police officer was fired at during the day just ago. We now know that there has been an incident in Pulwama." "We had eradicated militancy from Rajouri, but there is still an encounter or incident there every ten or every week. "Let it be if this is a typical scenario," he uttered. Abdullah stated that people are excitedly awaiting the assembly elections when questioned about the J&K elections. However, there's no sign that these elections will take place anytime soon. They have to hold parliamentary elections, but as to whether they will do so or not, maybe only two people in the nation are aware of this, and they haven't discussed it with me," he continued.

UP Man Shot Dead By Terrorists In Pulwama

editor October 31, 2023

SRINAGAR: Terrorists shot and killed an Uttar Pradesh worker in Pulwama district on Monday, one day after they targeted a police officer, according to officials. In a post on X, a police spokesman stated, "Terrorists fired upon one labourer identified as Mukesh of UP in Tumchi Nowpora area of Pulwama, who later succumbed to injuries."According to him, the location has been sealed off, and the terrorists responsible for the laborer's death are being sought out. Terrorists shot and seriously injured police inspector Masroor Ahmad Wani at the Eidgah ground in the city when he was playing cricket with neighbourhood boys. This was the second terror strike in the Kashmir Valley in less than 24 hours. In the wake of the two terror incidents, security has been stepped up throughout the Kashmir Valley, particularly in Srinagar and south Kashmir areas, according to the officials. Following the attack on Inspector Wani, the security forces have increased their scrutiny of cars and pedestrians in various areas of Srinagar and other towns, particularly in the Pulwama district in south Kashmir, according to the officials.They stated that there are now mobile car checks at all of Srinagar's main junctions and the city's exits. A number of political figures have denounced the assault on the labourer and the police officer in the meantime. Ghulam Nabi Azad, the head of the Democratic Progressive Azad Party and a former chief minister of Jammu & Kashmir, has vehemently denounced the deliberate killing of an outside labourer in Pulwama. Leader of the People's Conference Sajad Lone warned that violence had returned even though he condemned the attacks. The curse of violence has returned. The killing of a worker in Pulwama today and the senseless cruel attack on a police officer yesterday show how desperate these vicious thugs are," Lone wrote on X.The leader of the Apni Party, Altaf Bukahri, expressed his deep resentment at the killing of an innocent non-local in Pulwama district in a post on X. The killing is completely pointless and will benefit no one. I hope the police find the offenders quickly so they can be held accountable for their actions. "A man was killed, and it doesn't really matter if the victim lived nearby or somewhere else in the nation. On the fringes of a Jammu party celebration, Bukhari declared, "We condemn the loss of an innocent life." According to him, there is no excuse for the brutality. The former minister declared, "The Apni Party will continue to highlight the public issues for peace and development in J&K. The Centre is the source of problem solutions." In addition, Bukhari voiced worry about the recent ceasefire breaches in the Jammu area of Arnia along the International Border, claiming they are an attempt to disturb the tranquil environment. "We will keep fighting to keep this place peaceful because the people of J&K want peace," he declared. In order for the civilian population to use the community bunkers during the cross-border shelling, he also requested that the government build more of them and ensure that they are adequately maintained.

editor October 30, 2023

Speaking at a public rally in Kheralu, in the Mehsana district of Gujarat, he had just inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for numerous development projects totaling Rs 5,950 crore. According to Modi, Gujarat has seen firsthand how a long-term stable government may facilitate the making of beneficial decisions for the state.The Prime Minister added that he keeps his promises when he makes them. "At the root of the rapid development being seen in the country and India's praise in the world (for rapid development) is the power of the public that has given a stable government in the country," he stated. "We have experienced how a stable and majority government in Gujarat continuing for a long time has helped us take one decision after another," Modi stated.The speaker asserted that the swift development of Gujarat is attributed to the bold decisions taken and the significant development initiatives undertaken over the past several years, which the public is fully aware of.

Lal Singh Bats For Separate ‘Jammu State’

editor October 30, 2023

JAMMU, Oct 30: Choudhary Lal Singh, the chairman of the Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan Party, argued on Monday that Jammu and the Kashmir valley have radically different traditions, languages, and cultures, and he urged for the establishment of a separate state of Jammu. "Jammu ought to exist as its own state. Why are you (the federal government) unable to provide us our own state? Singh stated at a gathering in the Samba district. We don't dress alike, nor do our languages or cultures mirror theirs. He said, "Water does not flow from Jammu into Kashmir or vice versa.In acknowledgment of the Dogras' role in creating the state, Singh, a former minister in the Jammu and Kashmir government, remarked, "Dogras have not only shed their blood to establish this state but have also safeguarded India's borders." Our young people are currently defending the region from Siachen to Rajasthan after our predecessors bravely battled to create this state. He claimed that the politicians of Kashmir had seized the share of jobs that belonged to the people of Jammu and that they were accountable for the denial of Jammu's rights for six decades.Rulers in Kashmir have stolen jobs in addition to weakening Dogra culture. Over the last 60 years, they have taken advantage of Dogras. They hold grudges against us. They denied the people of Jammu their legitimate rights and disregarded Jammu's tourism potential, he claimed. Singh, who previously belonged to the Congress and then the BJP before leaving both organisations to found his own, declared, "If you stand by me for the next six months, we will bring about a revolution here."Singh highlighted the needless requirement for certifications and the BJP government's termination of widow payments. It's evolved into a certificate-based government. Due to these benefit-free cards, the government causes them to suffer rather than providing comfort and all-encompassing support. The former lawmaker also criticised the area's healthcare system. Singh discussed the J&K government's handling of smart metres and incorrect bills while emphasising the state's 60,000 megawatts of power production capacity. "Yet, we suffer because we are unable to access these resources." [caption id="attachment_4689" align="alignnone" width="300"] Lal Singh Bats For Separate ‘Jammu State’[/caption]

Would never invoke religion for votes: Azad

editor October 30, 2023

JAMMU: Ghulam Nabi Azad, the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP), declared on Sunday that he would never engage in hate speech or use religious arguments to win support. The people were also assured by the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir that he would never discriminate against any religion and that his politics will always be grounded in moral and social principles. "My worldview does not support using religion to further hatred and influence politics. "I firmly believe in the politics of merit and hard work," Azad declared while speaking at a public gathering in the Ramban neighbourhood. He claimed that, as seen by the event, people value progressive and constructive politics without communal cards being played."Thousands of people have attended my rally because they value and respect the development initiatives I spearheaded in the area while serving as chief minister of the former state of Jammu and Kashmir. "I assure you that more such projects will come up and Ramban will be one of the modern districts in the country if I am given a chance to serve my people again," the leader of the DPAP stated. Throughout his lengthy political career, the former Union minister claimed he has never discriminated against or assisted someone because of their religious affiliation. "Because if we practise such tactics, it can prove to be disastrous and insidious," he said. Since everyone benefits from the colleges, hospitals, and other development initiatives that Azad brought to Jammu and Kashmir, he claimed that his work testifies for his support of pluralism. He declared that he would advance his developmental programme if his party were elected to power. "We want to work for all people, regardless of their social class or religion, so that there is no prejudice and everyone benefits. I'll concentrate on constructing more hospitals and colleges in remote locations," he declared. According to Azad, there would be more road network expansion and connections between rural areas and cities and towns. "This will, in turn, ensure economic growth and job opportunities for our people," he stated.
