INC leaders Rahul Gandhi, M Kharge, INDIA bloc leaders join JKNC MPs Choudhary M Ramzan, Sajad Kichloo & Shammi Oberoi in Parliament protest, demanding restoration of J&K statehood.
The resignation of the Education Minister is an acknowledgment that accountability in a democracy cannot be indefinitely evaded. It comes after weeks of determined, peaceful voices raised by students, parents and citizens across the country who refused to be ignored.
It also comes after far too many young Indians faced unnecessary police brutality and force for exercising their democratic right to peaceful protest. That should concern every citizen, regardless of political affiliation.
But accountability does not end with a resignation. The deeper failures that brought us here must now be addressed through transparent reforms, institutional responsibility and a commitment to ensuring that no young Indian’s future is jeopardised again.
The students who marched, spoke out and peacefully persisted deserve to know that this is the beginning of reform, not the end of the story.
We were stopped from getting to Jantar Mantar & stopped from protesting peacefully for what is rightfully ours but we were not silenced. This is only the beginning of our struggle for statehood, our rights, our dignity and everything that was taken away from us.

J&K Deputy Chief Minister, Surinder Choudhary, says, "It is the misfortune of the people of Jammu and Kashmir that today we have to come to Delhi to protest and remind our Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of their promise. You promised the people of Jammu and Kashmir that you would restore statehood after the elections. Today, it has been nearly a year and a half, and neither the Prime Minister nor the Home Minister has fulfilled that promise. To make them honor that commitment, the National Conference, the Congress, and all our other partner parties have come together to Delhi today to remind them that after nearly a year and a half since the Omar Abdullah government was formed, yet you are not fulfilling your promise.' You will have to fulfill this promise. You made it in Parliament, you made it in the Supreme Court, and you made it to every single child in Jammu and Kashmir that you would restore statehood. When will that 'appropriate time' of yours finally come? We have come to Delhi today just to find out the answer to this."

My father’s younger brother Dr Mustafa Kamal passed away earlier this evening at Paras hospital in Srinagar. Uncle Mustafa had been unwell for some months but took a turn for the worse 4 days ago. He put up a brave fight holding on against the odds. The doctors & staff treating him were amazing but Allah called him for his final journey. May Allah grant uncle Mustafa the highest place in Jannat.
In Hubballi to cheer the J&K cricket team as they seal a historic win. There hasn’t been a day over the 5 day final that the team hasn’t dominated the opposition.
Shahrukh, I remember your dad fondly. He was graceful, kind, simple and honest — and deeply concerned about the welfare of his people.
May Allah SWT elevate his status in Jannat. Ameen.
We remember him very fondly & he is greatly missed. He was taken away far too early & it has been a big loss to @JKNC_. May Allah grant him Jannat.
It’s been five years since you left us, Dad, but not a single day passes without your memories filling my heart. Your words, your love, and your guidance continue to light my way. Time may move on, but your presence remains forever alive in my soul. Miss you beyond words.
Keep going! Dad would want you to chase your dreams, to live fully, to never give up.
And I’ll be right beside you, always in grief, in growth, in every step ahead.May this year bring you peace, healing, and happiness.
Dad’s love lives on in you. And so does mine.
Love you.
Happiest Birthday @ShahrukhSpeaks ❤️
May Allah bless you with everything you wish for.
I know everything feels different. Dad’s absence is something words can never truly fill, but I know he’s watching over you with pride in his heart.He always believed in you, just like we...
all do.
You’ve carried so much strength on your shoulders, even when you were breaking inside.
In the silence, in the pain, you stood tall — not just for yourself, but for all of us.
I see your strength. I feel your pain. And I admire the man you are becoming.
