PDP President and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has urged Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to raise with the Central Government the issue of alleged ill-treatment of Kashmiri students and workers across the country after the blast at the Red Fort in Delhi on November 10.

Mehbooba Mufti said that the entire people of Jammu and Kashmir cannot be punished for the crime of one person. He has appealed to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to talk to the Prime Minister and the Home Minister on this serious issue because Kashmiris living outside the state are scared.

‘Anger over the blast is justified, but harassing innocents is wrong’

Speaking to the media after meeting the family of Bilal Ahmed, who was injured in the Red Fort blast in Kangan in Ganderbal district, Mehbooba said, “There is anger in the entire country over the blast at the Red Fort, in which innocent people were killed. But this does not mean that Kashmiris who have gone to earn their livelihood or study should be made victims of this anger.”

He said that videos and news coming on social media show that Kashmiris living outside are facing difficulties. In such a situation, it is important to ensure their safety.

‘It is worrying for the doctor to become a human bomb’

Referring to the blast accused Dr. Umar Nabi, Mehbooba Mufti described it as very worrying for the society. She said, “As a mother, I feel pained to think why an educated youth like Dr. Umar Nabi, who should have been saving people’s lives, is choosing the path of death?”

He said that the doctor has not only taken his own life and that of others, but has also put the lives of the common people of Jammu and Kashmir in trouble. Mehbooba has appealed to religious leaders like Ulemas and Mirwaiz to come forward and explain to the youth not to adopt the path of violence and suicide.

‘Suffocation due to removal of Article 370, but violence is not the solution’

Taking aim at the policies of the central government, Mehbooba said that there is an “atmosphere of fear and suffocation” in Jammu and Kashmir after the removal of Article 370 in 2019. Arrests are being made and there is pressure on people. However, he clarified that, “This suffocation does not mean that our youth should become suicide bombers. Giving up one’s life and taking the lives of others cannot be the way to fight any situation.”

Injured Bilal’s family hopes for help

Talking about Bilal Ahmed who was injured in the blast, Mehbooba said that he had gone to Delhi to earn his living and his family is very poor. He expressed hope from the administration that proper care will be taken of Bilal and his family.

In the end, the PDP chief reiterated that those involved in terrorism should be given strict punishment, but oppression of common Kashmiris in its name is not acceptable.

Once the ‘Darbar Move’ tradition started in Jammu and Kashmir, government offices have reopened in Jammu. On this, National Conference President and former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah said on Monday that those who wanted to divide Jammu and Kashmir have failed.

Farooq Abdullah told reporters on the occasion of reopening of offices here that the Union Territory is united and it should collectively move towards development. He said that those who wanted to separate Jammu and Kashmir have failed today. Abdullah also said that all parts of the Union Territory are one.

Targeted at BJP

Taking aim at the BJP, he said that those politicizing the issue should ‘quit politics’ and instead focus on the welfare of the people and the development of the Union Territory. Abdullah said that Jammu will also progress and expressed hope that it will get maximum benefits with the coming of the Secretariat.

‘We have to take Jammu and Kashmir towards development’

He said, “This (erstwhile) state has to rise again. It has recovered from many devastations including wars and we have to together rebuild it and take it towards development.” Abdullah congratulated the Chamber of Commerce and the people for welcoming this step. He said that I express my gratitude to every person of Jammu who supported this step.

‘This shows unity among the people of Jammu and Kashmir’

Describing the tradition of ‘Darbar Move’ started by Maharaja Hari Singh as a big step, Farooq Abdullah said that this step shows unity among the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The former chief minister said, “This means that the people of Jammu and Kashmir consider themselves as one, no matter what their language or religion, they belong to one land.”

A day after losing one seat to the BJP in the Rajya Sabha elections, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday (October 25) said the National Conference (NC) had tried its best to win all four Rajya Sabha seats from Jammu and Kashmir, but the final result of 3-1 shows both success and disappointment at the end of the polling.

Speaking to the media, Omar Abdullah said that there should be no doubt on the result of 3-1 because we had tried everything possible to win by 4-0, but unfortunately some people cheated us in the last stage of voting.

CM Abdullah said, “Now it is very clear who supported us and who did not, although I do not find it right to take anyone’s name here. It is really sad, but I am thankful to all those who stood with us till the end. As far as those who withdrew their support at the last moment, it is disappointing.”

‘Not a single vote was cross-voted’

However, CM Omar said with full confidence that not a single vote of the National Conference was cross-voted or spoiled and it would not be right to name those MLAs who voted against the alliance and in favor of BJP. He said that I am satisfied that not even a single vote of NC went astray.

NC won 3 out of 4 seats

This came after allegations that some of the seven MLAs either voted for the BJP or ‘deliberately’ spoiled their votes during the Rajya Sabha elections in which the National Conference won three out of four seats, while the BJP managed to win only one seat despite the support of its 28 members.

BJP’s Satpal Sharma won the fourth Rajya Sabha seat by securing 32 votes, while Congress, PDP, CPIM, Awami Ittehad Party, Aam Aadmi Party and six independent members pledged support to the 41 NC members.

NC candidate stuck on 21 votes

During counting, election officials declared 3 votes invalid, while 4 members cross-voted for BJP for the fourth seat, leaving NC’s Imran Nabi Dar stuck at 21 votes. The winning margin for the two seats in the third notification was fixed at 28.2, which means the winner needed 29 votes to cross the line. And the National Conference was promised the support of 59 votes, but this defeat has not yet answered many questions.

There was a dispute between the National Conference and Congress regarding the Rajya Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir. Actually, Congress has refused to contest the Rajya Sabha elections. The party says that we had demanded a reserved seat from NC, which we did not get. Now State President Tariq Hameed Karra said that our trust has been broken.

State Congress Committee president Tariq Hameed Karra on Monday (October 13) said the National Conference (NC)’s “backdown” from its commitment to the Congress leadership regarding the Rajya Sabha elections shows that it is reconsidering its ties with the Indian block. Speaking to reporters in Srinagar on Monday, Karra said that the NC leadership had assured Congress of allotting a reserved seat.

He said, “We were told that we would be allotted a safe seat, first or second. When the NC was adamant on giving us the fourth seat, which was considered unsafe, we called a core committee meeting. It was unanimously decided that we should not contest an election in which there is a possibility of our defeat. The committee also expressed displeasure over the backtracking on the promises made at the level of Sonia ji and Kharge ji.”

‘Wrote a letter to Omar Abdullah’

He further said that the NC leadership told that there will be no compromise on anything beyond the fourth seat. Karra further said, “When Mir Sahab and I sent a joint letter to Omar Sahab, he instructed us to talk to Farooq Sahab. Farooq Sahab’s answer was clear in itself. He told us that he was ready to discuss only the fourth seat.”

‘Our trust has been broken’

When asked whether the NC had betrayed the Congress, Tariq Karra replied, “I wouldn’t use the word betrayal. But our trust has been broken.” He further said that the NC’s actions indicate that it is reconsidering its relations with the India block.

Hameed Karra also said, “It is not that the agreement with NC in Jammu and Kashmir remains incomplete. But this also indicates that NC is considering whether it should remain in the India block.”

‘Will not give statement on BJP’s irresponsible remarks’

On the statement of opposition leader Sunil Sharma calling Congress a puppet of National Conference, he said that I will not react to the irresponsible statements of BJP.

In Jammu and Kashmir, the head of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Mehbooba Mufti targeted the BJP fiercely. He said on Wednesday (1 October) that people in Kashmir are being forced to stand for the national anthem on the ‘gun of guns’. Mehbooba Mufti has created a big controversy by making such allegations against the BJP.

Mehbooba Mufti said that it is the failure of the government to stand out during the national anthem. The PDP Chief made this statement at a time when dozens of youths sitting in the TRC football ground on Tuesday (September 30) were detained by the police.

‘Our student life was not forced’- Mehbooba Mufti

Mehbooba Mufti said in the city’s Baghat area, “It is unfortunate that the BJP has brought this place to a situation where they are forcing people to stand for the national anthem on the strength of guns. I remember my student life, whenever the national anthem was ringing, we used to stand in honor.

Police sources said that 15 spectators were detained in a police martyr football tournament in Srinagar on Tuesday evening, as they did not stand during the national anthem allegedly.

The national anthem was not understood due to the low voice of the band

The families of the prisoners have blamed the ‘slow and vague’ band presentation for the incident, which they claim that the audience did not know about the launch of the national anthem. The final of the police martyr football tournament, which also attended the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, at the Synthetic Turf Football Ground at TRC, Srinagar.

No response from Jammu and Kashmir Police

Sources said that he was detained for not following the protocol of standing during the national anthem. The National Honor Prevention Act, 1971, the national anthem and the national flag impose a ban on disrespect. However, no official confirmation or statement has been issued by the Jammu and Kashmir Police so far.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has clearly stated that instead of aligning with BJP to restore state status, I would prefer to resign. He said that after the elections, I had the option to include BJP, but we did not do so. If we had included the BJP in the rule, perhaps by now we would have got the status of the state back, but I am not ready to do so.

The Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir asked his leaders and activists questions, “Are you ready to deal with that deal?” Tell me if you are ready. Because I am not ready to deal with that deal. If it is necessary to include someone in the rule, then you should confess my resignation by kindly and make some MLA here the Chief Minister and make a rule with the BJP. I am not ready to make. ”

Omar Abdullah mentioned Mehbooba Mufti

Omar Abdullah also mentioned PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti. He said, “The way Mehbooba Mufti did in 2016, at that time the BJP could be ruled without BJP. Congress and National Conference were also ready. The BJP could be kept out of the rule. At that time it became an excuse that Jammu has to be represented. We also represent Jammu without involving BJP in this rule. Today is the deputy CM of Jammu without BJP. ‘

It does not take much time to deteriorate- Omar Abdullah

Earlier, CM Omar Abdullah said on Monday (September 30) that the people of the Union Territory have been patient with their demand to restore state status, but the Center should not take advantage of it. Abdullah warned, “The situation does not take long to worsen. We do not want the blood of innocents to flow again here. We will keep keeping our demands peacefully. ”

People’s Conference President and Handwara MLA Sajjad Lone reacted strongly on the announcement of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday (August 15) to launch the signature campaign for the state status on Independence Day. He warned against ‘joking’ of this campaign and urged him to adopt a respectable, constitutional path. He called it ‘childish’.

He wrote on the social media platform X, “We will support any movement towards the state status. But please do not make fun of the status of the state. We are already struggling with the influence of ‘Tom, Dick and Harry’, who already moved to the Supreme Court. Let us do the stance of the Supreme Court as a constitutional institution, not as a constitutional institution, not another legal or constitutional legal. There is no purity. ”

Sajjad loan challenge to CM Omar Abdullah

He challenged CM Omar Abdullah to clarify his reluctance in passing a resolution for the state status in the assembly, which is a constitutional body elected by the Election Commission of India.

Our proposal is not binding on Supreme Court- Sajjad loan

He insisted, “Our proposals are not binding on the Supreme Court, but they will have a constitutional dignity. It will be a constitutional message for the country’s Supreme Court. There is no legal or constitutional sanctity of political or signature campaigns. Anywhere in India or the world, tell an incident where the signature campaigns have changed the legal interpretation. They are not acceptable.”

Accused of contempt and contempt of assembly

Recalling, ‘Yasin Malik also launched a signature campaign for independence, where did the campaign reach. “Lone accused Omar Abdullah of showing’ contempt and contempt ‘towards the same assembly who gave him the post of Chief Minister. He asked, “You get your power, facilities and Chief Minister’s post from the assembly. Why this contempt towards the same institution has made you the Chief Minister?”

Sajjad Lone’s question on Omar Abdullah’s silence

Loan questioned Omar Abdullah’s silence and inaction during a recent court proceedings, about which he said, “The consent to make Ladakh a union territory was confirmed for all practical purposes.” He insisted, “Where were you sleeping? Where was your government sleeping? Why did you not make sure that a proposal should be sent to the Supreme Court? Do you just be the Chief Minister to enjoy power and do not accept the responsibilities that come with him?”

Close childish and immature attitude –jad loan

He added, “I request you, please stop this childish and immature attitude. We will support any campaign unconditionally. But please ensure that a resolution is passed from the Union Territory Assembly and sent to the Supreme Court. We are fighting for a lifetime. Signature campaign is only drama Conduct. Supreme Court conducts law. ”

Loan, urging the Chief Minister to work according to his ‘age and stature’ and stop drama, said, “Pass a resolution in the state assembly. This is the most respectable way to go to the Supreme Court. Do not create an atmosphere of state not to give state status.

Hurriyat Conference President Mirwaiz Umar Farooq urged the Center to resolve the ‘distance’ between New Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir on Friday (August 01) through negotiations and said that the issues cannot be resolved using violence or force. Addressing the people gathered to pray at the historic Jamia Mosque here, Mirwaiz also welcomed the united stand of MPs of Kashmir in Parliament. Referring to the three MPs of Jammu and Kashmir, he said that he expressed the sentiments of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

He said, ‘A few days ago, after the heinous incident of Pahalgam in Parliament, there was a debate on the Indo-Pakistan war. Different views were given by different political parties of India about war, its objectives and success-failure. “He said that very few MPs and most of the opposition talked about the human aspect of war, its cost and his relationship with Jammu and Kashmir, ‘which reflects the mentality and mood of the time.’ ‘

Mirwaiz mentioned three MPs from Jammu and Kashmir

Hurriyat Conference President Mirwaiz further said, “Three MPs from Jammu and Kashmir (Mian Altaf, Engineer Rashid and Aga Ruhullah) were the only ones who highlighted the deep concerns and plight of the people at the center of the original problem and the current debate.

It is nice to see that everyone is unanimous on the Kashmir issue- Mirwaiz

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq also said, “The three MPs were speaking with pain about the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir being snatched and evicted” and expressing the feelings of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, about which we have always been talking about. It was nice to see that everyone is unanimous on these matters. ”

Please tell that during the discussion on Operation Sindoor in the monsoon session of Parliament, MPs Engineer Rashid, Mian Altaf and Aga Ruhullah had spoken strongly. Engineer Rashid described the incident of Pahalgam as a murder of the whole humanity. He also said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have a solution to the Kashmir issue.

National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has said that if the constitution of the country is to be respected, then the status of the state of Jammu and Kashmir should be restored. He said that if the local government had the responsibility of security, the terrorist attack in Pahalgam could have been postponed. In response to a question asked about the increasing demand to restore state status to Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Abdullah said, “It is not a question of being hopeful.”

He said, “If the Constitution of India is to be respected, then the states should never be converted into union territories. Union Territory is converted into the state. (But) The tragedy is that he converted a state into a union territory. And what did they achieve? ”

,The promise to end terrorism was promised

Abdullah mentioned that when Article 370 was neutralized on August 5, 2019 six years ago, “promised” was that “terrorism would end”. He said, “Is terrorism ended?” Or has it increased? The Center must answer this in Parliament.

,All opposition parties are fighting for us in Parliament,

Abdullah said that people were “expecting” that state status would be announced soon to Jammu and Kashmir. He said, “Already, all opposition parties are fighting for us in Parliament too … You must have seen a letter written by Kharge and Rahul Gandhi to the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) recently (Congress President Mallikarjun), which has demanded to restore state status.”

Abdullah reminded that the Central Government had “made promises to us and also promised in the Supreme Court.” Three times, Abdullah, the Chief Minister of the former state of Jammu and Kashmir, questioned the intention of the Center behind reducing the status of the state.

He said, “And what did he get?” When he did so, he said that terrorism will end because Article 370 is responsible for him. For the last six years, they have been ruling for five years before the election. The former Union Minister questioned, “And even today, he has control over security and everything else. Is terrorism ended? Or has it increased? ”

,The Lieutenant Governor should have resigned,

Considering the current situation, Abdullah expressed regret over the lack of control of the government elected by the public on security and administrative matters. He said that if the local government had taken over the responsibility of security, then the recent Pahalgam terror attack could have been postponed.

Referring to the Accepting the failure of security in Pahalgam by the Lieutenant Governor, Abdullah said, “I am happy that the Lieutenant Governor has accepted his failure.” They should have dared to resign. ”

,Why Jammu and Kashmir was denied Rajya Sabha elections,

Abdullah pointed to deep silence when the four seats of Jammu and Kashmir remained vacant in the Rajya Sabha and called it a “tragedy”. He said, “Why was Jammu and Kashmir deprived of Rajya Sabha elections?” Not only this, two seats are vacant in the assembly. What is the Election Commission doing? ” The head of the National Conference rejected the internal discord in the party.

,War is never a solution to any problem,

Regarding Pakistan, Abdullah said, “Pakistan is not going to give up. Then what is the way forward? War is never a solution to any problem. ” He advocated a peaceful solution that “for India, for Pakistan and the people of Jammu and Kashmir”.

Jammu kashmir politics: In an important political development in Jammu and Kashmir, two senior leaders who are also former ministers joined the Indian Nation Congress on Friday (27 June). Both leaders again joined the party in the presence of Taj Mohiuddin and Ghulam Mohammad Saruri Jammu and Kashmir Congress President and other party leaders. After the formation of Ghulam Nabi Azad’s Democratic Progressive Azad Party, both Taj Mohiuddin and Ghulam Mohammad Saruri broke away from the Congress. However, he stayed there for some time and contested as an independent candidate in the 2024 assembly elections.

All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Syed Naseer Hussain, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Tariq Hameed Karra and senior party leader Ghulam Ahmed Mir and others joined the party in Srinagar in the presence of others.

Many people are still in contact with us- Karra

Tariq Hamid Karra, president of Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee, said that the Congress will be strengthened both internal and exterior with the re-involvement of former ministers Taj Mohiuddin and Ghulam Mohammad Saruri. Many people who left Congress and joined other parties are still in touch with us.

‘Wanted to join the party only in August 2024’

A senior party leader said, “The two leaders had announced their decision on re -joining the Congress party in August 2024, but the party’s senior leadership, including Rahul Gandhi, had banned the decision, who asked the local leadership to wait.”

The return came after other prominent political personalities Chaudhary Gujlar Khatana and Muhammad Amin Bhatt returning to the Congress. This has increased the party’s possibilities in South Kashmir, where the National Conference (NC) has won 10 out of 16 seats in the 2024 elections.

‘Some people are already in the pipeline’

Karra said that many people who have either left Congress or have joined other parties are still in touch to join us. Some people are already in the pipeline under this process and many people are in contact with us and are expected to join their party in future.

‘Leaving Congress was a mistake’

He said, “The involvement of Taj Sahib or Saruri Sahib does not mean that they have been involved in person. They have a strong attendance and when we organize programs in their areas you will see their influence on their own. After leaving the Congress, they formed another organization and today they openly admitted that Congress was a mistake and he also apologized for it.” He also said that he has a proper procedure and process for evaluation of leaders.
