It is with deep regret that I inform you that the J&K government has rejected our Bill on Sheikh-ul-Alam University in today’s Assembly session.
I moved the Bill in the Legislative Assembly with the goal of establishing the region’s first private university. The proposed Sheikh-ul-Alam University Bill for Pulwama (Bill No. 9 of 2025) was, however, turned down by the government.
Despite my persistent appeals and efforts to have it considered, Education Minister and the J&K government rejected the proposal. In the decisive vote, NC MLAs opposed the Bill, halting what could have been a landmark step for higher education in Pulwama.
Currently, J&K has no private universities, while India has over 500. Our students face immense challenges, including safety concerns and high costs of education. Over the past ten years, 500 cases of hate crimes against students have been reported. Many students spend more than 1 lakh per year, and around 2 lakh students from J&K are studying outside the Union Territory.
We urgently need to build strong institutions here in J&K so that our students can access quality education locally, overcome crises, and pursue their ambitions without facing such challenges.

Deeply saddened and outraged at the brutal killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei by the US and Israel that has shaken the Muslim world. The people of JK collectively condemn this brutality and the ongoing aggression against Iran, as well as the massacre of innocent girl students in Minab.

Trigger Warning: This content contains references to sexual violence and may be distressing.
On the night of 23 February 1991, in the villages of Kunan and Poshpora in Kupwara, North Kashmir, a so-called search operation by Indian army personnel turned into one of the most documented cases of mass sexual violence in the region. Women were assaulted, ranging in age from an 80-year-old woman to an 8-year-old child.
Thirty-five years have passed since Kunan Poshpora, and justice is still denied.
This rare footage from the villages includes women and men who speak on camera about that night, along with an interview with Professor Wayne Baker, who documented the survivors of the 1991 mass rape, and a rare interview reflecting on the crime and its aftermath.
Decades later, despite investigations and evidence, no one has been held accountable. The survivors are still waiting.
