Jammu, July 21: Leader of Opposition in J&K Legislative Assembly Sunil Sharma on Tuesday asked the government led by the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to suspend its political activities and focus on relief and rehabilitation in the natural calamities-hit people in Poonch, Rajouri and other areas of the Union Territory. It is very unfortunate to see the absence of government among the people, who are battling the fury of nature. The governments presence and response have failed to meet the expectations of the affected families. BJP tried to reach every family and person. We urge the government also to stand with the people in their hour of crisis and provide them with required succour, LoP Sharma stated, while addressing a press conference at the party headquarter in Jammu. He was joined by MLA Jammu North and former minister Sham Sharma; J&K BJP vice president and former MLC Shehnaz Ganie; MLA Mohan Lal (MLA); J&K BJP general secretary Gopal Mahajan and J&K BJP spokesperson Zorawar Singh in the presser. Sunil Sharma, in response to a question, stated that it would be unfortunate if the statehood (issue) would again be taken as a pretext by the government to hide its failure in relief and rehabilitation of the people affected by natural calamities in Jammu region. He asserted that it was not the right time to indulge in politics but to focus on relief efforts. This is no time for politics. Rising above the politics, all the political parties and individuals need to work with urgency and ensure that all possible help reaches the affected families without delay. All of us need to help the affected rebuild their lives. If the government becomes visible on the ground at this hour of crisis, we (BJP), too, as a responsible party, assure our full support to it (government) and the administration in relief and rehabilitation works. But the government should be visible first on the ground, Sunil Sharma stated. He clarified that the party did not want to politicise the issue. But at the same time, we cannot act as a silent spectator to the suffering of people, devastated by a spate of natural calamities. The peoples aspirations and expectations are linked to us (BJP) as well. We are expected to raise their voice and act as a responsible, proactive opposition party a role granted by people, LoP said. Sunil Sharma said, As our primary responsibility, BJP tried to reach the affected people. We decided to visit natural calamities-hit Poonch, Rajouri to be with our people in crisis, after postponing our Secretariat Chalo march in Srinagar to highlight very significant issues confronting people of J&K. Around 26-27 people lost their lives in flash-floods, landslides in the twin districts of Rajouri-Poonch, besides two lives were lost in Raggi nullah mudslide incident in Doda district as well, he said, adding that Bhalessa, Marwah-Warwan and in Kyar area of Dachchan too were hit by similar incidents of flash-floods. Though there was no loss of life there yet the situation was worrisome, he said. With regard to the party's postponed Secretariat march, Sunil Sharma said, It was to raise voice against rising corruption and outsourcing of jobs ruining J&K youths future. We are not against outsourcing of jobs but our concern is that the job recruitment mechanism is not fixed and thus favouritism is ruling the roost. Similarly, the people of J&K had been waiting for the conduct of Panchayat polls to strengthen democracy at the grassroot level, but the Chief Minister, in sheer arrogance, declared that the conduct of Panchayat polls would be as per his whims. It simply meant that Panchayat elections would not be held in the near future. BJP wanted to express its resentment and raise peoples voice on these issues through a protest march in Srinagar on July 20, LoP explained. However, he said, the party postponed its march in the wake of devastation on account of natural calamities during the intervening night of July 18 and 19 in Surankote, proper Poonch and other areas of the district and Rajouri, claiming around two dozen lives. He said that in tandem with the responsibility of any political party in such a crisis situation to stand by the people, BJP decided that its protest march could wait, but a party delegation should visit the affected areas immediately. LoP Sunil Sharma maintained that the aim of the visit was to listen to the concerns of the affected people, understand the challenges being faced by them and conduct a detailed review of the situation on the ground. He further stressed that the concerns of the people of Poonch and Rajouri must be addressed on priority and every possible effort should be made for their recovery and rehabilitation.

A vital aspect of this journey is learning to set clear boundaries that reflect personal value.
People of J&K cant be kept waiting indefinitely: Farooq Abdullah
New Delhi, Jul 20:National Conference (NC) President and former chief minister Farooq Abdullah on Monday led his party's protest in the national capital, urging the Centre to fulfil its commitment to restore J&K's statehood and asserting that the people of J&K could not be kept waiting indefinitely for promises repeatedly made before Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the nation. Leading hundreds of party leaders and workers towards Jantar Mantar, Abdullah said the NC had assembled in New Delhi not to seek political concessions but to remind the Centre of assurances it had itself made regarding the restoration of J&K's democratic status. The protest, attended by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, cabinet ministers, Members of Parliament, MLAs, senior party functionaries, and workers from different wings of the party, was organised on the opening day of Parliament's Monsoon Session to press for the immediate restoration of statehood. The march was stopped by the Delhi Police before it could reach Jantar Mantar, with the NC alleging that restrictions were imposed on the demonstrators and tear gas was used to disperse protesters. Addressing party workers after the protest was halted, Abdullah said the NC had come to the country's capital with a single objective - to seek the restoration of the rights, dignity, and honour of the people of J&K. We have gathered here to seek the restoration of the rights, dignity, and honour of the people of J&K. We are also demanding the restoration of full statehood. These are not new demands. They are promises made by the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister before Parliament, before the Supreme Court, and before the people of J&K, he said. The three-time chief minister said the Centre had repeatedly assured the people that statehood would be restored after the completion of the electoral process, but the commitment had remained unfulfilled. The time has come for those promises to be honoured. We are not asking for anything extraordinary. We are only asking the Government to fulfil the assurances it has repeatedly given, he said. Abdullah said the issue before the NC was not merely administrative but one concerning the democratic rights and political dignity of the people. He said J&K had a long constitutional and democratic history and its people deserved the same constitutional status enjoyed by citizens in other parts of the country. Our fight is for dignity, democracy and constitutional rights. The people of J&K have exercised patience. They have participated in the democratic process with the hope that commitments made to them would be honoured. That hope should not be betrayed, he said. The former CM said the NC would continue to pursue its demand through peaceful and democratic means. This is a constitutional struggle. It is not directed against any individual or institution. We are reminding the Government of its own promises and asking it to respect the trust of the people, he said. Referring to the Supreme Court's observations on the restoration of statehood, Abdullah said the apex court had also expected the process to be completed at the earliest. The government itself gave an assurance before the Supreme Court. It is now for the government to act in accordance with those commitments, he said. The NC president also criticised the restrictions imposed on the party's protest, saying democratic governments should allow peaceful demonstrations. Our intention was to hold a peaceful protest. Democracy gives every citizen the right to express his or her views peacefully. Such voices should be heard, not stopped, he said. Abdullah also expressed solidarity with students protesting over the alleged irregularities in the NEET examination. He said the concerns raised by students deserved serious attention instead of police action.These children are the future of this country. Tomorrow they will shoulder the responsibility of leading India. They are fighting for their rights and demanding justice. The Government should listen to them instead of responding with force, Abdullah said.The former CM also raised the issue of Ladakh and sought the release of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk from hospital. He said Wangchuk's campaign was centred on safeguarding the interests of the people of Ladakh and strengthening peace in the strategically important region.The concerns of Ladakh also deserve attention. Sonam Wangchuk should be released from the hospital. He is seeking the rights of the people of Ladakh. Ladakh is surrounded by China and Pakistan. He wants peace and stability there. There is nothing wrong with demanding justice for the people, Abdullah said.Since the abrogation of Article 370 and the bifurcation of the erstwhile state into two Union Territories on August 5, 2019, Abdullah has consistently maintained that restoration of statehood is the minimum constitutional and democratic requirement for J&K. Although the Centre has repeatedly stated that statehood would be restored at an appropriate time after the Assembly elections, no formal timeline has been announced.The NC has made restoration of statehood the centrepiece of its political campaign, arguing that an elected government can function effectively only when J&K regains the constitutional status enjoyed by other states.Party leaders said Monday's protest was intended to carry that message directly to the national capital and to Parliament as the Monsoon Session commenced. Despite being prevented from reaching Jantar Mantar, Abdullah said the NC would continue its campaign peacefully and democratically until the Centre fulfilled its commitment. Our struggle will continue. We have faith in democracy and in the constitution. We will continue reminding the government of its promises until the people of J&K get back their rights, their dignity and their statehood, he said.

The US Geological Survey reported the quake struck on Saturday at 9:24 pm, with its epicentre located 2 km west-southwest of the city of Sicaya in Huancayo province. It was 10 km deep. Peru's National Civil Defence Institute said in a statement the total number of missing is still unknown.

Quote of the day by Kate Moss offers a timeless life advice that greatness is measured not only by personal achievements but also by the positive impact we have on others. Every interaction presents a choice: diminish someone to feel temporarily important or encourage someone and create lasting influence. The second path requires more character, but it builds stronger communities, healthier relationships, and more meaningful success. In an era that often rewards loud voices and bold opinions, Kate Moss encourages something far more enduringthe quiet confidence that comes from knowing you never need to make another person feel small to stand tall yourself. That message is not only inspiring but also increasingly relevant for anyone striving to succeed with integrity in today's world.

People must strengthen spirit of equal respect for all religions: Lieutenant Governor
Srinagar, July 19: The Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today addressed Interfaith Dialogue for Harmony in Baramulla, organised by the Save Youth Save Future Foundation. He commended the Save Youth Save Future Foundation for their contribution to the drug-free Jammu Kashmir campaign. He said the young volunteers worked selflessly and took on a great responsibility for a better future for UT. Through this campaign we have strengthened trust within our families and institutions, reinforced youth's confidence in their future, and sent a message across the country that when a society rises up on its own, it can overcome biggest challenges, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor also highlighted that this land of Jammu Kashmir embodies harmony and brotherhood. For generations, people of different faiths received respect and experienced spiritual peace. It is the lasting legacy of the saints, Sufis, and Rishis who spent centuries teaching our people the power of love, compassion, and unity. Lal Deds teachings didnt belong to one religion. Her Vakh spoke directly to the human heart. She never judged people by their faith. Instead, Lal Ded focused on bringing different ways of worship together. Similarly, Sheikh-ul-Alam showed us that true devotion isn't about conflict or division. It is found in compassion and in serving every single human being. The flourishing rishi-sufi tradition in Kashmir does not proclaim the superiority of one faith. Its message is that all religions and beliefs draw their strength from the same existence, and I believe this teaching is our shared heritage. This heritage does not belong only to Hindus, only to Muslims, only to Sikhs, Buddhists, or Christians. It is the legacy of every citizen born on this sacred land, and protecting this heritage is our moral and spiritual duty. We must safeguard this harmony in the same way we protect our families, the Lieutenant Governor said. He also stated that social and religious harmony is the cornerstone on which a strong society, a strong Jammu Kashmir, and a developed India can be built. When the people move in peaceful coexistence then the energy of society becomes the greatest force for development. That is why I strongly believe that harmony is both a moral necessity for the people and the foundation of economic prosperity and it also a guarantee of a brighter future for coming generations. We must strengthen the spirit of equal respect for all religions so that every citizen can progress with equal opportunities. We must reinforce mutual goodwill so that poverty is eliminated from every home. We must unite to promote fraternity so that we can uproot challenges like drug addiction. From the soil of Baramulla today a message should go out that if there is any land in the world that can teach the world that different communities, sects, and faiths can live together in peace, joy, and trust, it is India, the Lieutenant Governor said.
