7 years after the abrogation of Article 370, J&K is witnessing a decisive transformation through stronger security, record tourism, rising investment, improved connectivity, and deeper democratic participation.

India must establish an institution for moon-sighting with scientific infrastructure in J&K to counter Pakistan's symbolic assertion of religious authority & soft-power extension into Kashmir’s social sphere.

Kashmir’s foreign-origin CCTV systems are a security vulnerability. Legacy #Chinese CCTVs near sensitive zones can leak data, map movement & give intelligence access to enemies.
They must be replaced with Indian systems.

Recent Dachigam meeting shows NC's balancing act with the centre on J&K. While keeping its poll promise of a statehood demand alive, it consolidates its ranks, negates PDP and might get credit if statehood is ever given.

The “Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan” led by LG Manoj Sinha marks a decisive shift against drug networks. Strong enforcement must come with rehab, awareness & accountability to secure the future of its youth.

I will write to the Director of Animal Husbandry Kashmir, Commissioner SMC & DC Srinagar to launch an urgent winter initiative for stray horses—provide shelter/food and penalise abusers harshly. Dogs have so many speaking for them—horses should have someone speaking for them too
Starved, thirsty, and without shelter, abandoned horses shiver in the bone numbing January cold of Kashmir. For momentary amusement — insensitive young kids now tighten strings that rip their mouths. What happened to our empathy? You could have taken them in for some care instead
Cancer has silently become a pandemic in Kashmir. Almost every family has someone fighting it. We may not yet know the exact cause, but the scale demands urgent attention.
Having lost my father few years back, I know the trauma it brings. This must be a wake up call for all of us
Heartbroken & disturbed by the tragic blast in Delhi yesterday that has taken precious innocent lives and left many injured. This is not just an attack on a city it is an attack on the very soul of India.
As Kashmiris, we have always stood firmly against all forms of violence. Our faith teaches us compassion, not cruelty, peace, not bloodshed. No one can claim to represent religion while taking innocent lives. Islam, in its true essence, stands for mercy, justice, and humanity.
The Holy Qur’an clearly reminds us:
“Whoever kills an innocent person, it is as if he has killed all of humanity; and whoever saves one life, it is as if he has saved all of humanity.”
(Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:32)
Those who commit such heinous crimes & those who protect or support them in any form must face the strictest punishment. Justice must be swift and uncompromising.
At the same time, I sincerely hope that our Kashmiri students and citizens across India remain safe and protected. The sins of a few misguided individuals should never become the burden of an entire community. Every Kashmiri, every Indian who believes in peace, stands united in condemning this cowardly act of terror.
May Almighty Allah (SWT) grant patience to the families who lost their loved ones, heal the injured, and guide us all towards peace and righteousness. Violence can never represent faith, love and humanity always will. 🇮🇳
