Irony died a thousand deaths today on Kashmiri politics.
In a move packed with audacity former CM Mehbooba Mufti Sahiba chaired a review meeting at AIIMS.

This is nothing short of a constitutional crisis.
I can’t believe that the CM has not reacted to an event which erodes even further an already eroded power structure in J and K.
This is a direct hit at the constitutional competencies of the elected government. And these constitutional competencies are the constitutional assets of the people of J and K.
They are with the CM for a period of 5 years. He has no right to allow them to be trampled upon or allow to set a precedence for an unconstitutional trespass.

In what capacity did she chair a review meeting of an institution which comes under the domain of the BJP led central government.
Did the authorisation come from Delhi. Constitutionally, She can’t head a review meeting of the local departments which function under the elected government. Chairing Central government institutions review meetings is a constitutional impossibility.

Was there a fresh notification?
A government order?
A special authorization from BJP? Or are we now operating under a new constitutional arrangement where selected few can bypass constitutional protocol.
Are we shifting from a dual power centre to a Troika.
Is she the new shadow Chief Minster.

Can Mamta Banerjee Ji or Mr Stalin both ex chief ministers, chair review meetings.
What is the special arrangement in J and K. Under what law did she chair a meeting of AIIMS.

Is there a third power centre in the offing in J and K. Clarity is needed. Review is good. But J and K, reeling under institutional disempowerment cannot afford yet another round of disempowerment.
It is Mehbooba Ji today. It could be somebody else tomorrow.

Mark my words.
This is not a just review meeting. This is yet another round of disempowerment in the offing. There is much more than meets the eye.

Be prepared for a lot of theatre.

And by the way. Observe the style. Security guards in attendance. Wow.

So this is the bombshell threatened by CM sahib. Tourist to the core. A trip to the scenic and beautiful Dachigam.

Dachigam is actually symbolic for today’s congregation. It is secluded, isolated, entry is restricted. That actually sums up state of the present government. Aloof, secluded, isolated and entry restricted.

A little bird told me. The MLAs have been shifted into the Wild Life area of Dachigam. And an ultimatum will be served. They will be told, “ Fall in Line” or else stay back and provide company to inhabitants of the Zoo.

But the inhabitants of the zoo are apparently aghast.

Mohammed Sultan Panditpuri Sb was truly a dedicated and a visionary leader. A ground level political worker, always available for his people. May Allah bless his soul and grant him Jannah. Ameen.

[Sajad Lone @sajadlone]

On the first death anniversary of Mohd Sultan Pandithpori Sahib, I pay my heartfelt tributes to a distinguished leader, former MLA, and a dedicated public servant who devoted his life to the welfare and empowerment of the people of Langate and Kupwara.
Sultan Sahib was a farsighted leader who understood that the true strength of a society lies in nurturing capable leadership. He consistently encouraged young minds to participate in public life and worked tirelessly to build a strong, responsible, and people-centric leadership in Kupwara. His vision extended beyond electoral politics, he believed in creating institutions, empowering communities, and preparing future generations to lead with integrity and commitment.
His dedication, wisdom, and service-oriented politics continue to inspire us. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched and in the values he stood for. May Allah grant him the highest place in Jannat-ul-Firdous

PC slams NC over omission of Sajad Lone's name from Drugmulla bridge plaque https://t.co/JGTjwDAnYo

JKPC President @sajadlone presided over a meeting with the Halqa Committees of Trehgam Constituency to discuss organizational matters and strengthen grassroots outreach.
Chief Spokesperson @bashirdaradv , District President Kupwara Hafizullah Mir and other party leaders were also present during the meeting.

[Adv Bashir Dar @bashirdaradv]

Restrictions were imposed on paying homage to Late Shaheed AG Lone Sahib, and our Party President @sajadlone was placed under house arrest simply for attempting to visit and pay respects to his late father. It is deeply unfortunate that even remembrance and tribute are now being subjected to restrictions.

Never before has the country or state witnessed a political party being prevented from honoring and remembering its founding leader. Such actions not only hurt democratic sentiments but also undermine the basic dignity attached to paying homage to those who shaped political thought and public life through sacrifice and struggle.

Shaheed AG Lone Sahib’s legacy belongs to the people, and no restrictions can erase the respect and admiration people continue to hold for him.

The NC-led Government's move to order an enquiry into and report on any violation of the Forest Rights Act during the demolition drive in Jammu is a mere eyewash, similar to thousands of magisterial probes ordered into civilian killings in Jammu and Kashmir during the last three decades to calm public anger.

This probe will serve a purpose only if the claims of the affected people under FRA are pending. It wouldn't have taken the NC-led government more than 10 minutes to find out whether there has been a violation of the FRA. Why seven days time for something which would have been established in 10 minutes.

My understanding is that the demolition of houses will constitute a violation of FRA if their claims for individual/community rights are pending.
*Sub-section (5) of Section 4 of FRA says:*
(_"Save as otherwise provided, no member of a forest dwelling Scheduled Tribe or other traditional forest dweller shall be evicted or removed from forest land under his occupation till the recognition and verification procedure is complete."_)

It means if you are a Scheduled Tribe or Other Traditional Forest Dweller living or farming on forest land, the govt cannot evict you or demolish your house until your FRA claim is fully rejected after due process.

This is yet another denial and passing on the buck.

Don’t be surprised. If the government in the assembly will pay itself on the back for setting up of the enquiry committee and also defend the demolition. I will not be surprised. Nothing about this government surprises me.

Yet again UTT vs TUTT.

[Adv Bashir Dar @bashirdaradv]

Deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to Er. Rashid Sb & Khursheed Sb on the passing of their beloved father. May Almighty Allah grant him the highest place in Jannah and give strength and patience to the bereaved family during this difficult time.

A little birdie tells me that CM sahib called on the Home Minister recently.

And the photo that emerged out of the meeting was CM sahib like an overexcited marathoner grinning from ear to ear, handing over a bouquet, ostensibly congratulating the BJP for the recent electoral meeting.

In the meeting CM sahib apparently complained about the time taken for clearing the Reservation file. And apparently yet again CM sahib was informed that the file has been despatched 3 weeks back. Nobody it seems told CM sahib.

And yet again, yet again apparently the Centre has queried as to how the sub Committe came to the conclusions that have been forwarded.

Very humbly may I state. I had asked the same question in assembly and asserted that there is no evidence of research. The recommendations
sent should have been a research backed document based on scientific evidence.

Anyways. God bless those who voted them to power 🤔

Heartiest congratulations to my younger brother Naseer Ahmad Dar (JUDGE) on being nominated as President of the Jammu & Kashmir & Ladakh Judicial Officers Association. Wishing him and all the esteemed judicial officers a successful tenure marked by integrity, wisdom and dedication towards strengthening the justice delivery system.

Best wishes to the entire Adhoc Managing Body for this important responsibility.

[Adv Bashir Dar @bashirdaradv]

Some leaders seek crowds some earn love.
The way youth are rushing just to catch a glimpse and take a selfie with @sajadlone sahib speaks volumes about the connection he shares with the younger generation.

This isn’t manufactured popularity, its organic affection, trust & hope. The future clearly resonates with his vision.

[Adv Bashir Dar @bashirdaradv]

J&K must be the only place where a Chief Minister holding nearly 20 major portfolios still finds enough time to personally inaugurate a Primary Health Centre worth of Rs 2 crore today at Gulmarg constituency where he is fond of wasting half of the time of Chief Ministership in skiing ⛷️.

I think this is a complete collapse of administrative seriousness. In any functioning system such inaugurations are handled at district or departmental level. Even a Sarpanch elsewhere may not have this much of free time.

When the CM @OmarAbdullah himself is cutting ribbons for routine Primary Health Centre buildings, who is running Finance, Home, Planning, Power, Tourism and the rest of the government?

Such is the tragedy and bad luck of the people of Jammu & Kashmir that the elected Chief Minister spend time on ceremonial ribbon cutting for routine projects while the real crises of governance remain unattended.

The people of J&K truly deserve better.
