Only a farmer can feel the pain of being denied the right to work in fields where their families have farmed for generations. When livelihoods are at stake, the burden is immense. Here, @IltijaMufti_ is showing solidarity with farmers by standing beside them, amplifying their voices, and supporting them through their struggle at a village in Tulkhon Bijbehara.
Called on Hon’ble PM @narendramodi ji to discuss issues of importance to J&K including early return of Statehood, the state of the economy, pace of development and promotion of tourism. I congratulated him for the landmark of completing 12 uninterrupted years in office.
We will fight for J&K’s agrarian heritage. Dispossessing farmers of their fertile land only to convert it into a concrete jungle makes no sense. Zamindars kept J&Ks economy going during the state’s most turbulent times.
13 year old Iqra went missing in Poonch for five days - until her body was recovered from Sathra river. The circumstances leading upto her death appear hazy & disturbing.
First Budgam now Poonch - there are beasts roaming amongst us who prey upon little girls. As a society where are we headed? @PoonchDm@PoonchPolice
Farmers in Padgampora and Dangerpora are being stopped from cultivating nearly 1,000 kanals of land they have farmed for years. Today, we joined them in sowing paddy on these very fields. Land that feeds families cannot be fenced off by bulldozers.
@OmarAbdullah government busy threatening protesters has no answer for farmers. By rejecting the PDP’s Land Protection Bill despite repeated appeals by @mehboobamufti, government has chosen land grabs over livelihoods.
J&K is in the midst of a health emergency. Cancer is taking lives every single day, yet those in power seem more concerned about who visits AIIMS than why it is still not fully functional.
CM @OmarAbdullah personally questioned the location of AIIMS Awantipora, never made it a priority to regularly review its progress, and has spent more time outside the state or managing party affairs than ensuring this critical institution becomes operational. Now the same government is reportedly upset because former CM @MehboobaMufti visited the site along with local MLAs.
What is even more shocking is that instead of demanding accountability for delays, AIIMS officials are being summoned to the CM’s private office tomorrow at 8 am and allegedly questioned about why a former Chief Minister visited a project that was conceived and initiated during @MehboobaMufti’s tenure.
A government backed by 50 MLAs should not be intimidated by a site visit. It should be ashamed that patients are still waiting for world-class healthcare while politics continues to take precedence over people’s lives. FYI @CM_JnK@OfficeOfLGJandK
It’s been days since Talib Hussain was arrested merely for speaking against the demolition of homes of poor tribal families. Forest Department’s prejudice against the marginalised & poor is very clear because despite court directions along with a committee report on wealthy & influential encroaching upon hundreds of kanals in Jammu - ONLY helpless poor sections are being targeted. Hope NC government stop cherry picking and course corrects to ensure it’s the real land mafia that’s punished
Eid al-Adha reminds us of sacrifice, compassion, equality, and togetherness. May this festival strengthen the bonds of love, peace, and harmony among people everywhere. Warm Bakrid wishes to all!
Eid al-Adha reminds us that the greatest devotion is shown through sacrifice.
Who is your Ismail or what is it? Your position? Your honor? Profession? Money? House? Farm? Car? Love? Family? Knowledge? Social class? Art? Dress? Name? Your life? Your youth? Your beauty?
How do I know? But you know it yourself, whoever and whatever it is, you should have brought it with you to sacrifice here.
I cannot tell you which one, but I can give you some clues to help: whatever weakens your faith, whatever stops you from “going,” whatever distracts you from accepting responsibilities, whatever causes you to be self-centered, whatever makes you unable to hear the message and confess the truth, whatever forces you to “escape,” whatever causes you to rationalize for the sake of convenience, whatever makes you blind and deaf…
You are in the position of Ibrahim, whose weakness was his love for Ismail (his son). He was tested by Satan.
Imagine yourself at the peak of honor, full of pride, and there is only ONE THING for which you can give up everything and sacrifice any other love for its love. THAT IS YOUR ISMAIL!
Your Ismail can be a person, an object, a rank, a position, or even a “weakness”.
For Ibrahim, it was his son.
Despite Eid Ul Adha tomorrow NC government has failed to release salaries & pensions of government employees, wages of temporary & casual workers, along with overdue payments to contractors. Instead it’s launched a PR blizzard of self laudatory messages for declaring two government holidays instead of one.
Which universe does this delulu government inhabit? Do they not understand the tremendous financial distress people are in?
Devastated to hear about the cold blooded murder of a 12 year old girl in Budgam. The allegations of rape just make it all the more shocking, disconcerting & unsettling. One shudders at the thought if our children are really safe.
