Had banning been the solution we wouldn't have had attacks like Pahalgam/Anantnag. On what basis have 3500 youngsters been picked up? Why punish families for crimes committed by someone else? What has demolition of homes achieved? Ban us, Jail us; but will continue to SPEAK UP!
In Kashmir students still await Sub-Committee’s report on reservation meant to be brought into the public domain well over a year ago. Who is responsible for this gross incompetence? Shouldn’t heads roll?
Why no accountability from this government? Or will statehood also be used an excuse in this case to justify their maladministration?
Talib Hussain’s wife & children yearn to see him. He’s been arrested since last week for merely staging a peaceful protest against Forest Department’s illegal demolition drive in Sidhra. Request @manojsinha_ ji to consider releasing him.
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
Was delighted to attend Saaz-e-Bahar in Sher-e-Kashmir park today. Glad to see young Kashmiris come together to curate events promoting local entrepreneurs & craftsmanship. Encapsulated Gen-Z spirit at its best! A great start 😊
For the seventh year in a row that too on the blessed night of Shab e Qadr not only have gates to Jama Masjid been locked but Mirwaiz Sahab too has been placed under house arrest. Year after year Kashmir’s normalcy is touted yet Kashmiris here are deprived of the very fundamental yet basic right to worship. How callous & cruel to forbid us from doing so on a day we all look forward to eagerly.
In light of worrying reports of women protestors detained across Kashmir for expressing solidarity over the martyrdom of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei I urge DGP @JmuKmrPolice to issue immediate orders for their release. This is a time of mourning for us & the situation must be handled with compassion and sensitivity.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
I mourn the passing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a leader who bowed to none but Allah. He stood firm in faith and conviction throughout his life. May Allah grant him the highest place in Jannat ul Firdous. Ameen.
First it was young Tabish, nearly beaten to death in Uttarakhand. Now an elderly Kashmiri is being harassed while the perpetrators roam free. Where are the MPs of J&K who should be raising their voices as such attacks become routine?
Instead of upholding Raj Dharma, the state governments appear to be granting silent patronage to mob violence ,treating hatred as a shortcut to political success. The rule of law has been replaced by politics of fear.
When a young Kashmiri shawl seller is almost beaten to death in Uttarakhand, no one comes to his rescue.But when the PDP attempts a peaceful protest against such atrocities, the entire police machinery is unleashed to crush the march.Kashmiris are caged within J&K and thrashed when they step out to earn an honest livelihood.
When even survival is treated as a crime, where are Kashmiris supposed to go from here? Are they even allowed to exist in New India ?
BJP leaders pose in mosques abroad and roll out red carpets for Middle Eastern sheikhs. But back home they watch with glee the shrine of Sufi poet Baba Bulleh Shah being vandalised. This hypocrisy is not accidental but deliberate.
Destroying symbols of harmony is easier than answering for rising poverty, mass unemployment and a future stolen from the younger generation.
Cancer is killing 300 times more people than conflict in J&K.
Cancer: 67,000 deaths in 5 years
Conflict: 67,000 deaths in 30 years
The biggest battles are often the ones we don’t see. Families, especially the poor, are forced to sell land and assets to seek treatment outside Kashmir because local hospitals are over burden or lack capacity. This is health and governance crisis that cannot be ignored, @CM_JnK. Government needs to address this crisis.
This heartbreaking video of a mother’s desperation to walk hundreds of miles from Kashmir to Kot Bilawal Jail in Jammu just to see her imprisoned son shows the silent suffering of families whose loved ones are kept in far away prisons. It’s why I approached the Honourable High Court to request that undertrials be shifted to their native jails so families can visit them with dignity and support their legal fight. Hoping for a compassionate view.
PDP Women’s Wing President Anjum Fazili, supported by senior leaders, led a professional protest at the Srinagar HQ against the government’s 20% electricity tariff proposal.

“Omar Abdullah called it “land mafia”, indicating the people of Kashmir or Jammu are land thieves. Seems Omar sb wants to snatch the roof from the heads of the people here by rejecting PDP’s Land bill."
