"J&K Regularisation & Recognition of Property Rights of Residents in Public Land Bill, 2025" introduced by PDPs @parawahid will provide ownership rights & a much needed sense of security to thousands of families living in state owned & ghaascharai land for decades. Given the ruthless demolition drives carried out across J&K since 2019 one can’t state enough the relief it will provide to these families.
Before elections Omar Abdullah Sahib & JKNC:— “No smart meters!”
After elections JKNC &Omar Abdullah:-“Let’s install smart meters everywhere for uninterrupted power!”
——Did someone switch his settings from ‘Oppose’ to ‘Approve’?
After 2019, my political stance has been crystal clear. At one of my earliest public gatherings in Budgam and then at other gatherings throughout Kashmir and also in my interviews post-abrogation, I told my people that our fight must be for the restoration of 370 and the dignity it embodies for the people of Jammu & Kashmir.
I’ve been informed about an urge and desire to protest for statehood in Delhi. I AM READY to participate in such a protest, and invite those prioritizing statehood to organize it. I will also try to organise support from at least more than 100 Hon’ble MPs. I believe for them there is no better time than January to organize it, when India's Constitution—the very document that enshrined our special status—was adopted.
At the same time I ought to remind that the abrogation of Article 370 was a calculated act of humiliation, and a deep wound deliberately inflicted upon us. The subsequent demotion to a Union Territory was a further attempt to impress upon us the indignity of the abrogation.
The abrogation was a political statement, a declaration that our sacrifices mean nothing, and that our future is theirs to dictate. Given this betrayal, this calculated attempt to break our spirit and subjugate our will, I cannot, in good conscience, sidestep from the fight for our special status and settle for the hollow promise of mere statehood. Shouldn’t our voices first rise for our honor, our identity, and the autonomy we have long been denied?
I think they should, and I will keep raising mine, louder each time.
The Tree Remembers.
Thank you, Waheed Sahab, for your advocacy. I have also personally discussed this matter with the Hon'ble Chief Minister, Omar Sahab. Tral certainly deserves such a prestigious institution. However, it is crucial that job security be ensured for the local community, and proper compensation be provided to the landowners.

Stranded tourists in Ganderbal found an unexpected yet welcoming refuge at a mosque last night. Kashmiris aren’t only human but humane too. Wish media would stop perpetuating the stereotype that grabs eyeballs & instead throw light on how hospitable Kashmiris really are.
The House Negro and the Field Negro.
Malcom X
“Back during slavery, when Black people like me talked to the slaves, they didn't kill 'em, they sent some old house Negro along behind him to undo what he said. You have to read the history of slavery to understand this. There were two kinds of Negroes. There was that old house Negro and the field Negro
And the house Negro always looked out for his master. When the field Negroes got too much out of line, he held them back in check. He put 'em back on the plantation. The house Negro could afford to do that because he lived better than the field Negro. He ate better, he dressed better, and he lived in a better house. He lived right up next to his master - in the attic or the basement. He ate the same food his master ate and wore his same clothes. And he could talk just like his master - good diction. And he loved his master more than his master loved himself. That's why he didn't want his master hurt. If the master got sick, he'd say, "What's the matter, boss, we sick?" When the master's house caught afire, he'd try and put the fire out. He didn't want his master's house burned. He never wanted his master's property threatened. And he was more defensive of it than the master was
That was the house Negro. But then you had some field Negroes, who lived in huts, had nothing to lose. They wore the worst kind of clothes. They ate the worst food. And they caught hell. They felt the sting of the lash. They hated their master. Oh yes, they did. If the master got sick, they'd pray that the master died. If the master's house caught afire, they'd pray for a strong wind to come along. This was the difference between the two
And today you still have house Negroes and field Negroes. I'm a field Negro”.
Starc dismissed Jaiswal for 2 ducks. Jaiswal told Starc that 'it's coming too slow,' although Starc didn’t understand his English. He dismissed him off the 1st ball of the 2nd Test. Jaiswal's inns was shorter than the time it takes to make a pani puri 😂
Being someone who was born and has lived in Srinagar for the longest time, can tell how much the city has changed. For the better. Those who deny this fact are lying. Only one critical piece is missing. The return of the Pandits of Kashmir. That blemish stays! #KashmirFromMyLens
