SRINAGAR:Majid Hyderi, a journalist and political analyst, has been booked under the strict Public Safety Act (PSA), according to officials. Majid Hyderi was detained last week by the Jammu and Kashmir Police on suspicion of criminal conspiracy and extortion. According to them, Hyderi has been arrested under the PSA and is being held at the Kot Balwal jail in the UT's Jammu region. Hyderi, a local of the Peerbagh neighbourhood of the city, was detained late on Thursday night after police reported him in accordance with a court's directive. "FIR number 88/2023 under sections 120B, 177, 386 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered at the Sadder police station on the basis of an order issued by the JMIC court in Srinagar," police said on X.Police stated that he was detained on suspicion of criminal conspiracy, intimidation, extortion, providing false information, defamation, and other offences. The journalist and political pundit who frequently appeared on television news channels was granted bail on Saturday but was then detained again the next day for a different offence. Omar Abdullah, a former chief minister of J&K and vice president of the National Conference, referred to Hyderi's PSA arrest as extremely upsetting. The reports of #MajidHyderi's PSA imprisonment are quite upsetting. If true, this is again another example of how the current J&K administration is intolerant of any criticism. In a post on X, Abdullah said, "I don't think there is very much he and I would ever agree on because we are ideologically poles apart, but this reported detention and shift to a jail in Jammu is cruel & unnecessary." Use the available defamation laws if Majid Hyderi has said something that offends someone. Even while he does endanger a few reputations, he isn't a threat to public safety, the NC leader added.

editor September 18, 2023Leave a comment

NEW DELHI, Sept 18: The success of the G20 Summit held here, according to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was due to the 140 crore Indians who made up the nation, not any one person or political group. As he opened the Lok Sabha debate on "Parliamentary Journey of 75 years starting from Samvidhan Sabha — Achievements, Experiences, Memories and Learnings," he greeted the delegates and guests by mentioning the federal system, diversity, and many state administrations. A summit of the Speakers of the Parliaments of the G20 nations would shortly be conducted, he added. "The 140 crore Indians are responsible for the G-20's success. This is India's prosperity, not the success of any one person or political group. In order to display the many hues of India, more than 200 meetings were held at 60 different locations thanks to India's federal structure and diversity, Prime Minister Modi said. Everyone should rejoice over this achievement, he said, and India should be pleased that the African Union joined the G20 when it held the presidency. The prime minister recalled the emotional moment when the African Union's (entering the G20) announcement was made and the president of the organisation stated he would probably cry while speaking. Modi also discussed the G20 declaration consensus that was reached. Many people, he claimed, had predicted that the G20 summit would not result in a declaration. But this is India's strength, an agreement was reached on a declaration.According to PM Modi, the P20 summit of the Speakers of the Parliaments of the G20 countries would take place soon. India is now holding the G20 chair until November. According to Modi, India is now the world's friend. Modi remarked, referring to the old Parliament building where he was speaking, that although foreign rulers had decided to build it, the Indian people had put in a lot of effort, sweat and money to get it done. The Imperial Legislative Council was the previous name of this structure. It became the Parliament building after Independence, he claimed.Many democratic customs have developed over the past 75 years, and everyone in the House has contributed to them, according to Modi. The prime minister said, "We may go to the new building, but the old building will also inspire generations to come. This is an important chapter in India's journey."

SRINAGAR, Sep 18: Eknath Shinde, the chief minister of Maharashtra, and Manoj Sinha, the lieutenant governor of Jammu and Kashmir, declared on Sunday that the terrorists would receive a suitable punishment and that the deaths of Army and Police officers in the recent encounter in Anantnag would be avenged. "It is a tragic situation. Whether they are in the Army or the Police, our jawans risk their life to defend our borders. We are able to enjoy our festivals in this way and continue living our lives. This incident is condemned by every citizen of the nation, as am I. The terrorists would receive a suitable response, and PM Narendra Modi will be held accountable for every drop of blood, Shinde told reporters after attending an event here. The terrorists murdered a soldier on Wednesday along with Colonel Manpreet Singh, Commanding Officer, 19 Rashtriya Rifles, Major Ashish Dhonchak, Deputy Superintendent of Jammu and Kashmir Police Humayun Bhat, and Major Ashish Dhonchak. The LG warned the audience during his speech that the terrorists' managers would pay a high price and that every drop of the martyrs' blood would be avenged. "We have total faith in the bravery of our warriors, and I want to reassure you that we will seek vengeance for every drop of blood shed. Terrorist handlers will be forced to pay a high price. The entire nation is united in support of the soldiers, according to Sinha.According to him, resentment among terrorists over the smooth operation of the G20 Summit and the crackdown on conflict profiteers in Jammu and Kashmir led to the attack on security forces in Anantnag. The terrorists who recently attacked the Army and police personnel at Pakistan's behest were irritated with the G20 Summit's successful administration and the clampdown on conflict profiteers. For the sake of preserving the nation's unity and integrity, our jawans offered the ultimate sacrifice. I submit to their offering," he stated. The ecology that has stifled the average man in Jammu and Kashmir, according to Sinha, must be destroyed. To celebrate Prime Minister Modi's 73rd birthday, the NGO Sarhad Pune held a ceremony to honour 73 people who helped the public during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Amarnath Yatra. "On the occasion of Prime Minister Modi's birthday, Sarhad Pune honours those who risked their life to save others' during COVID-19 and the Amarnath Yatra. The friendship between Maharashtra and Jammu and Kashmir has also begun a new chapter as a result," Shinde added.

Ladakh Saw Unbelievable Changes For The Better After Article 370 Abrogation: LG

editor September 17, 2023September 17, 2023Leave a comment

Jammu, Sep 17 : According to Lieutenant Governor Brigadier (Retd) B D Mishra, Ladakh has seen "unbelievable" changes "for the better" since the repeal of Article 370 of the Constitution, and he is confident that within a few years it would be the most developed Union Territory in the entire nation. In addition to making Ladakh "corruption-free and delay-free," Mishra, who assumed leadership of Ladakh in February, said generating appropriate jobs for people and ensuring that future generations do not experience water scarcity are among his top goals. According to him, more than 5.31 lakh tourists travelled to the Union Territory last year, which has a population of about 2.75 lakh.In an exclusive interview the Lt Governor said, "I have been there (in Ladakh) for seven months and there is a sea change in terms of development, in people's outlook, in the benefit (being extended to the people), and also in the comfort of living." According to him, the local people has objectives in the domains of agriculture, horticulture, pisciculture, sericulture, and animal husbandry, all of which are developing. Mishra claimed that although infrastructure like roads, bridges, tunnels, helipads, and airports is being created quickly, the people of Ladakh are stepping up to launch enterprises.Only when the Constitution's Article 370 was repealed in August 2019 and Ladakh was separated from Jammu and Kashmir to become a Union Territory on October 31 of that same year was this made possible, according to him. Before that, there were protests during which people called for the declaration of Ladakh as a Union Territory. The L-G asserted that it was because "people were neglected and out on a limb" and that development was given the least amount of priority. The former soldier claimed to have his priorities in order.According to Mishra, the top aim is to prevent water shortages for future generations. We live on hills, therefore water is plentiful below... Ladakh should never have a water shortage, I want to make sure of that. The creation of jobs for the people of Ladakh, particularly startups, is the next priority, he stated. "I have had over 600 vacancies in the police and civil service announced, and the process is ongoing, but there is a Supreme Court case pending regarding 800 positions. The L-G declared, "The changes are astonishing and for the better with the way Ladakh is developing and the way the people are being cared for.Mishra stated that prior to the repeal of Article 370, Ladakh was a part of the former state…

Legal Profession Will Thrive Or Self-Destruct Depending On How We Maintain Our Integrity : CJI

editor September 17, 2023Leave a comment

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Sep 17: According to Chief Justice of India Dhananjay Chandrachud, whether or not we uphold our integrity will determine whether or not our profession survives or if it self-destructs. According to the CJI, integrity is the cornerstone of the legal profession. Speaking at an event with the theme "Enhancing collaboration between Advocates & Judges: Towards strengthening legal system," the CJI stated that integrity is not destroyed by a single thunderstorm, but rather through tiny, inconsequential concessions and compromises made by lawyers and judges.Whether we uphold our ethics or not will determine whether our profession survives or if it dies. Integrity is undermined by incremental concessions and compromises made by lawyers and judges, not by a single thunderstorm, he claimed. "Our consciences follow us all to sleep. You can deceive everyone else, but you can't deceive your conscience. Every night, it asks new questions. The foundation of the legal profession is integrity. We shall either endure with integrity or self-destruct," the CJI continued. According to him, respect is reciprocated between judges and lawyers when both parties recognise their roles as cogs in the same wheel of justice. Lawyers are treated with respect when they respect judges, and vice versa. He stated that gender is not just a woman's issue and is also a man's concern when referring to women in the judiciary. "I think creating an equal opportunity profession is one of the biggest challenges facing the Indian legal profession. Because the legal profession's makeup now will determine it in 30 to 40 years, according to CJI Chandrachud."When people inquire as to why there aren't more female judges, I reply that they shouldn't look at the current collegiums because they must select from the talent available at the bar. "Members of the bar from 20 to 25 years ago are the judges entering higher judiciary today," he said, "you need to consider where our civilization stood 30 to 20 years ago." He added that as women make up a significant portion of the legal profession, judges and solicitors should ensure that they have a voice in the system.The Aurangabad Bench of the Bombay High Court and the Advocate Association of Bombay High Court organised the CJI's talk at Mahatma Gandhi Mission University. There were several judges in attendance, including Justices Abhay Oka, Deepankar Datta, Devendra Kumar Upadhyay, PV Varale, SV Gangapurwala, and RV Ghuge, as well as Attorney General Virendra Saraf, Advocate Association President NC Jadhav, and Secretary RK Ingole.
