Sangwan inspires North fightback but South remain favourites to reach final
His exclusion from the Duleep Trophy quarter-final created a flutter but North Zone's stodgy left-handed opener Sanat Sangwan put the controversies to rest with a gutsy 76 even though South Zone looked poised to win the Duleep Trophy semi-final by the end of third day's play here Tuesday. On the third morning, skipper Tilak Varma (116 not out) added 10 more runs to his overnight score and added a precious 42 runs for the final wicket with Kavuri Saiteja (12) to reach a decent first innings score of 312 and a handy lead of 117 runs. In reply, North Zone finished the day at 256 for 7, largely due to Sangwan's 148-ball effort that had eight boundaries and a 104-run second wicket stand with Delhi teammate Ayush Doseja, who helped himself to his second half-century in the tournament. The lead, however, is of only 139 runs as of now and to make a match of it, North will need to set a target of at least 200 runs and then expect to take 10 South Zone wickets in roughly two sessions.

RECLAIM 2026: NIT Srinagar hosts maiden conference on water, wastewater, waste management
Srinagar, Sept. 1: The National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar hosted RECLAIM 2026, the first International Conference on Water, Wastewater and Waste Management, bringing together researchers, academicians, policymakers and industry experts from across India and abroad to deliberate on emerging challenges in water resource management, wastewater treatment and sustainable waste management. Organised by Water Resources Management Centre (WRMC), and Department of Civil Engineering NIT Srinagar, the two-day conference featured participation from premier institutions including IIT Delhi, IIT Roorkee, IIT Guwahati, IIT Madras, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Hyderabad and CSIR, besides delegates and researchers from different parts of the country and overseas. The conference commenced with an inaugural session attended by Faz Lul Haseeb, Commissioner, Srinagar Municipal Corporation and CEO, Srinagar Smart City Limited, along with senior faculty members from WRMC and the Department of Civil Engineering, NIT Srinagar. Speaking on the occasion, Faz Lul Haseeb emphasized the importance of developing practical and sustainable approaches to waste management, particularly in a region like Jammu and Kashmir where difficult terrain and climatic conditions pose additional challenges. He stressed the need for stronger coordination between academic institutions, government agencies and industry to translate research into solutions that can be implemented on the ground. In his message, Director NIT Srinagar Prof. Anurag Misra said RECLAIM 2026 reflects the Institutes commitment to research and innovation in addressing critical environmental challenges. He emphasized stronger collaboration among academia, government and industry to develop practical and sustainable solutions for water and waste management. Registrar Prof. Atikur Rehman said the conference provided an important platform for researchers, students and industry experts to exchange ideas and strengthen academia-industry collaboration, with a focus on translating research into practical solutions. A distinguished plenary session was held during the conference, featuring talks by experts in environmental engineering and water resources engineering. This was followed by seven technical sessions spread across the two days, where researchers presented their original work covering water treatment technologies, wastewater management, solid waste management and allied areas of environmental engineering. RECLAIM 2026 was conceived, organised and coordinated by Dr Khalid Muzamil Gani, Organising Secretary, with guidance and support from Prof. A.Q. Dar, Chairman, Water Resources Management Centre, and Prof J A Bhat Department of Civil Engineering NIT Srinagar. One of the major highlights of RECLAIM 2026 was a dedicated workshop on Challenges and Solutions for Efficient Sewage Treatment in Hilly and Cold Regions of India. The workshop examined the specific difficulties associated with sewage treatment in mountainous and cold climatic conditions, which can affect treatment efficiency and the operation of wastewater infrastructure. The workshop also witnessed participation from engineers of the Urban Environmental Engineering Department (UEED), Jammu and Kashmir, who joined both physically and through online participation from different locations. Organisers said the participation reflected the conference's emphasis on strengthening industry-academia collaboration and developing solutions suited to the region's geographical and climatic conditions. The conference also provided a platform for young researchers and students through a dedicated poster session. Research work presented by scholars and students was evaluated, with outstanding contributions recognised through Best Paper Presentation Awards and Best Poster Presentation Awards. The event concluded with a valedictory session featuring a special address and a formal vote of thanks to the organising committee, session chairs, volunteers, sponsors and participating delegates.

Nepals only billionaire and philanthropist Binod Chaudhary on Tuesday praised India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for their swift response to the devastating flash floods in the country, saying the scale of the disaster was far bigger than anyone had contemplated. Chaudhary also described the rebuilding task as gigantic, highlighting how villages, markets, schools and bridges were washed away and more than 500 megawatts of power generation capacity went out of operation. The scale of the disaster is far bigger than one would have ever contemplated. We had floods in the past in the same location even last year and thats nowhere close to what it is now, Chaudhary told PTI Videos. Weve lost about a thousand people. About 4,000 people are missing... More than the last count that Ive taken, we had lost some 40-odd bridges, he said, highlighting the scale of damages. More than 500 megawatts of power stations had gone out of circulation, out of operation and many projects which were under construction, particularly the power projects, they all had to be halted, theyre washed away, damaged. So its really a very, very painful situation, Chaudhary added. The death toll from the devastating flash floods in Nepal crossed 1,000 on Tuesday, as rescuers struggled to trace those stranded amid intermittent rainfall and a fresh flood alert. Around 4,000 people, including 583 foreigners, remained missing, while around 12,000 people had been rescued, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority. Chaudhary praised the Nepal government, security agencies and friendly neighbours, particularly India, for their response to the disaster. I must acknowledge that the government and the security agencies and also supported by our friendly neighbours, India in particular has done a great job in supporting, in coming forward with the relief material right away, he said. He particularly praised New Delhi and PM Modi for supporting Nepal, not just after the latest disaster but also recalling Indias response during the 2015 earthquake. I think we have no doubt in my mind that India is equally concerned. And Ive seen this on multiple occasions. Even during the 2015 earthquake, India was the first one, Prime Minister Modi was the first one to come up with the immediate rescue arrangement, support, infrastructure, logistics, he said. He said India had gained that prominence, gained that capacity and the ability to respond on a large scale. Given the scale at which India has been able to move, build the infrastructure. There has been a transformation in the quality of the infrastructure that India has been able to build over during the last 12 years. So the whole system is of a different level and caliber, Chaudhary said. I would hope and I would appeal to the Indian government, Prime Minister Modi and all those who matter to do everything possible. I think these are the moments when India can make a big difference, Chaudhary said. Chaudhary said financial assistance from different countries, companies, foundations and business houses remained of utmost importance, but cautioned that money is one thing and it cannot solve the problems overnight. You cant get the markets [to] start to function again. You cant rebuild the homes to house these people who are homeless, he said. Chaudhary emphasised that the task ahead was gigantic and Nepal would have to rebuild better. It is also an engineering issue. It is not only an issue which relates with one of those normal disasters, because the glacier meltdown because of global warming is really becoming a significant issue, which the whole world should be concerned about, he added.

High Court dismisses plea questioning Shopian Bar Associations election rules
The High Court of J&K and Ladakh has rejected a plea challenging the amended Constitution of the District Bar Association Shopian. Dismissing an advocates plea challenging the 2023 amendment enhancing the eligibility criteria for contesting the posts of President, Vice-President and Secretary of the Association, a bench of Justice Wasim Sadiq Nargal held that disputes concerning the lawyers bodys internal affairs and elections are not amenable to writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. Under the amended provisions, the required standing at the Bar was increased from 10 to 15 years for President and Vice-President and from seven to 10 years for Secretary. The petitioner had called into question the election notification issued on December 11, 2025, contending that the amendment had been introduced without following due procedure. He further contended that no valid General Body Meeting was held, no proper notice was circulated and no resolution approving the amendment had been passed. The amendment, he argued, was arbitrary and intended to exclude younger advocates from contesting elections. Opposing the plea, the respondents said that the amendment had been approved by the General Body after due notice and a majority vote. The Association, they said, was a voluntary body governed by its own Constitution and bye-laws and was neither State under Article 12 nor a body performing a public function under Article 226. Agreeing with the respondents preliminary objection, the court held that the District Bar Association Shopian neither derives its existence from any statute nor exercises statutory powers or governmental functions. It observed that merely because its members are advocates and the legal profession has an important role in the administration of justice, every activity of the Association cannot be treated as a public function. The Court underscored that the dispute over eligibility for holding office in the Association concerned internal governance and the electoral rights of its members, without any public-law element. It therefore could not be examined through writ jurisdiction. The Court noted that the case involved disputed questions of fact, including whether notice for the General Body Meeting was issued, whether the meeting was held and whether the amendment was validly approved. Such issues require examination of evidence and are more appropriately adjudicated by a competent civil court, it said. Moreover, the Court took note of the delay in challenging the 2023 amendment. The amended Constitution had remained operative for a considerable period and subsequent elections had allegedly been conducted under it. The Court observed that the petitioners conduct raised issues of acquiescence and approbation and reprobation, particularly as the challenge was made after the issuance of the election notification when the amended eligibility criteria affected his candidature. The Court, in keeping with the Supreme Court and various High Court decisions, including a recent one concerning the New Delhi Bar Association, reiterated that a Bar Association does not become amenable to writ jurisdiction merely because it consists of advocates. The Court accordingly dismissed the petition as not maintainable.

NC-BJP face-off set to hit streets as parties announce rival gheraos in J&K
Srinagar, Sep 1:Jammu and Kashmirs political contest between the National Conference (NC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set for a sharper street-level confrontation on Wednesday, with the NC announcing counter-gheraos of BJP headquarters in Srinagar and Jammu hours after the BJP called for a Secretariat gherao against the Omar Abdullah-led government. The rival programmes have transformed September 2 into a political face-off, with both parties attempting to set the terms of the public debate and, crucially, decide where accountability for Jammu and Kashmirs unresolved issues should lie. The BJPs protest is aimed at the elected government, while the NC is preparing to take its counter-campaign directly to BJP offices, putting the spotlight on the Centre and its commitments towards J&K. Announcing its programme, the NC said its protests would remain peaceful and would demand accountability for commitments made by the Centre in Parliament and before the Supreme Court. The party has identified four demands: constitutional guarantees, restoration of statehood, clearance of the reservation file and justice for the people of J&K. The political messaging is unmistakable. Faced with a BJP campaign questioning the performance of the NC-led administration, the ruling party is seeking to move the debate from governance in J&K to the larger question of what the Centre has promised J&K and what remains undelivered. At the heart of the NCs counter-offensive is statehood. Restoration of statehood has been one of the partys defining demands since the reorganisation of the erstwhile state in 2019. By placing it alongside constitutional guarantees and the reservation issue, the NC is seeking to frame Wednesdays protest not as a defence of the Omar Abdullah government but as a broader political demand directed at New Delhi. The partys reference to the mandate is equally deliberate. The mandate of the people of J&K is not a blank cheque. It must be respected, not taken for granted, the NC said. The statement effectively draws a political line between the mandate received by the elected government and the authority of the Centre, while signalling that the NC does not intend to allow the BJP to monopolise the narrative on accountability. For the BJP, the counter-protest presents a different challenge. Its decision to take its agitation to the Civil Secretariat is designed to put the NC government directly under pressure over issues it says remain unresolved under the present administration. The NCs decision to respond at BJP headquarters turns that campaign into a two-way political contest. Rather than allowing the BJP protest to dominate the political conversation, the NC is seeking to force the Centre and the BJP to answer questions over statehood, constitutional safeguards, and other commitments. The confrontation also reflects the changing political dynamics after the 2024 Assembly elections, when the NC emerged as the principal force in government while the BJP retained its position as the dominant political force in Jammu. Both parties are now attempting to consolidate their respective political constituencies while expanding their narratives beyond their traditional regional strongholds. For the NC, statehood remains a particularly potent issue because it allows the party to connect the question of J&Ks political status with the electoral mandate received by the elected government. For the BJP, the emphasis on governance allows it to argue that the elected administration should be judged on its performance rather than on issues falling within the Centres domain.
Security, connectivity, opportunity: PM Modis SCO call
New Delhi, Sep 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday called upon members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) to move beyond declarations and translate 25 years of cooperation into tangible outcomes, while urging a united approach to terrorism, stronger regional connectivity and greater opportunities for people. Addressing the 26th SCO Summit in Bishkek, PM Modi said the grouping must transform its shared geography into shared opportunities at a time when the world is passing through uncertainty and instability. It is a matter of great pleasure for me to be here amongst all of you on this special occasion of the 25th anniversary of the SCO, he said, thanking Kyrgyz President SadyrJaparov for the warm welcome and gracious hospitality extended to the Indian delegation. The PM also congratulated Kyrgyzstan on its Independence Day, which India observed with the country the previous day, and extended his warm greetings to the President and people of Uzbekistan on its Independence Day. He said the opening ceremony of the World Nomad Games had offered a glimpse of Kyrgyzstans rich culture and the shared heritage of SCO countries. This shared heritage and our deep people-to-people connections are among the great strengths of the SCO family, PM Modi said. He said that over the past 25 years, the SCO had developed a strong tradition of dialogue and cooperation across the vast expanse of Eurasia and had made valuable contributions not only to the well-being of its people but also to the advancement of humanity. The PM said the organisation had laid a strong foundation for cooperation, but the next 25 years should focus on converting that cooperation into tangible results. At a time when the world is passing through uncertainty and instability, we must transform our shared geography into shared opportunities. And through our efforts, we must bring about positive change in the lives of our people, he said. Recalling Indias vision for the SCO outlined at the previous meeting, PM Modi said its three main pillars were Security, Connectivity and Opportunity. He called for these three pillars to move beyond vision and be translated into concrete outcomes. The PM said peace and security were the first and foremost requirements for achieving those goals, warning that terrorism continued to pose a serious challenge to humanity as a whole. He said countries could not afford to limit the fight against terrorism to an action-reaction approach. We must dismantle the entire ecosystem of terrorist financing, recruitment, radicalisation, and safe havens, PM Modi said. He called upon SCO members to speak with one voice and make it clear that there could be no place for double standards on the serious issue of terrorism. We must send a strong message to countries that use terrorism as an instrument of policy and provide safe haven and support to terrorists that terrorism can never be a strategic asset for anyone, the PM said. He linked the SCOs shared aspiration for a peaceful and secure Eurasia with peace and stability in Afghanistan. PM Modi said India had been contributing to the development of Afghanistan and providing humanitarian assistance to its people and would continue to do so. He said that in todays interconnected world, the scope of security had become even broader, with the crisis in West Asia demonstrating that a conflict in one region did not remain confined to that region. The PM said its impact was felt across the world, affecting energy security, maritime trade and supply chains, with countries of the Global South bearing the greatest brunt of such disruptions. Therefore, India has consistently called for all tensions and conflicts to be resolved not on the battlefield, but through dialogue and diplomacy, he said. PM Modi also warned that drug trafficking was not merely a crime but a serious threat to the younger generation and regional security. He welcomed the establishment of SCO centres to address challenges such as security threats, organised crime, information security and narcotics. The PM called for these centres to be made effective instruments for practical coordination and timely action. He identified strong and reliable connectivity as the second pillar of shared development. PM Modi said India supported all efforts that connected markets, facilitated trade and opened new avenues for development. At the same time, he stressed that such connectivity initiatives must respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. This is also the fundamental spirit of the SCO Charter, the PM said. He said the scope of connectivity would become even broader going forward. PM Modi said that along with roads, railways, and air corridors, countries must simplify customs processes, promote digital documentation and make logistics networks more efficient. The third pillar, Opportunity, means that the benefits of SCO cooperation should reach people directly, he said. The PM described people-to-people connections as the organisations greatest strength and said India viewed the SCO as a confluence of great civilisations, cultures and ideas. Over the next 25 years of the SCO, people-to-people ties should remain at the heart of cooperation, he said. PM Modi said the true measure of the organisations success should be the number of new opportunities its efforts created for young people, the number of new markets opened for entrepreneurs, the extent to which farmers benefited from technology and how much better the lives of citizens became. This is the true meaning of Security, Connectivity, and Opportunity, he said. The PM stressed that cooperation within the SCO should not be merely government-driven but should also be people-driven. He welcomed the special emphasis placed on youth engagement under Kyrgyzstans chairmanship. PM Modi said India had taken initiatives such as the SCO Start-up Forum, Young Authors Conclave and Young Scientists Forum. He also recalled Indias proposal last year for the SCO Civilizational Dialogue Forum. The PM said he was pleased that the first session of the forum would be held in India this year and expressed confidence that, with the active participation of all SCO members, it would become a strong platform for vibrant dialogue within the organisation. He invoked Kyrgyz literary figure ChingizAitmatov, saying the writer had given the world a beautiful and profound thought that people often focused more on the things that divided them and less on the things that united them. PM Modi said the message remained equally relevant for the SCO today. Our diversity is our identity, and our shared purpose is our strength, he said. The PM called upon SCO members to move forward from Bishkek with a resolve to transform their shared geography into shared opportunities, their vision into outcomes, and government-driven cooperation into people-driven partnership. With the same belief and commitment, India is ready to contribute to the SCO familys shared journey, he said.

The Clock India Has Not Built Yet
TECHNOLOGY & NATIONAL SECURITY In 1999, during the Kargil conflict, India asked the United States for GPS data over the heights and was turned down. That refusal is the founding document of India's own satellite navigation programme. NavIC exists because somebody in Washington decided Indian soldiers did not need to know where they were standing. Twenty-seven years on, the government has made Indian time legally binding. On 27 August, the Department of Consumer Affairs notified the Legal Metrology (Indian Standard Time) Rules, 2026, as G.S.R. 761(E). Indian Standard Time becomes the only lawful reference for civil, commercial and legal purposes. For telecommunications, financial services, energy and data centres, the rules also name the sources time may be drawn from. GPS is not one of them. Four weeks earlier, the same government had told Parliament that NavIC could no longer fix a position on its own. A mandate arrives before the machinery Rule 7 is the widest clause. No entity may use, display or record any time reference other than IST, for any purpose. Storing timestamps in Coordinated Universal Time is ordinary practice in server logs worldwide. Whether the rule reaches that, or only the time an organisation holds out as official, the text does not say. MediaNama, which reported the rules first, has asked the department and has no answer yet. Rule 6(4) then makes accuracy the responsibility of whoever uses the signal rather than whoever supplies it, and Rule 6(5) requires that user to monitor deviation, log it, and prove traceability to the national standard. A stock exchange does this already. A cooperative bank or a regional internet provider in Srinagar does not. Rule 9(6) extends redundancy obligations to defence, power grids, telecommunications, banking and data centres, then adds enterprises and an open-ended etcetera. That is a scope with no visible edge. The rules take effect 180 days after gazette publication, placing commencement in early 2027. The constellation that cannot navigate On 29 July, in a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Space Dr Jitendra Singh told the House that only three NavIC satellites still deliver positioning, navigation and timing service. Four are needed for a fix. His wording was careful. NavIC cannot provide standalone positioning, he said, but its timing service is functional. The distinction is real. Positioning needs a fourth satellite to solve for the error inside the receiver's own clock. Timing is a lighter demand. The difficulty is the sentence after it. Users face no operational vulnerability, the reply said, because Indian receivers work in a multi-constellation environment combining NavIC with GPS, Galileo and GLONASS. The armed forces do the same. One arm of the government defends the condition of NavIC by pointing at GPS. Another arm, four weeks later, writes GPS out of the authorised list for the sectors where failure hurts most. The rest of the picture is thin. IRNSS-1B went up in 2014 and has outlived its ten-year design life. NVS-02 was stranded in transfer orbit in January 2025 after a valve failure. NVS-03 sits ready at Sriharikota with a launch expected in early September, and two more are to follow without a date. Why a clock is a target Between November 2023 and February 2025, airlines reported 465 GPS interference and spoofing incidents in Indian airspace, a figure the Civil Aviation Ministry has confirmed in Parliament. Most were in the Amritsar and Jammu corridors. Readers here will not need that geography explained. The problem has since moved inland. Spoofing was reported around Indira Gandhi International Airport late last year, with interference logged at Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai and Bengaluru. The DGCA now wants pilots and controllers to report a GNSS anomaly within ten minutes. Timing sits underneath much more than aviation. Mobile networks hand a call from one tower to the next on the assumption that both agree about the microsecond. Power grids compare phase measurements across state boundaries. Every log a forensic investigation depends on is a claim about when something happened. That is why time is worth attacking. An adversary who shifts your clock steals nothing. He corrupts the record that any later inquiry will read. Which is also the strongest argument for the new rules. GPS is a foreign military signal, it was withheld from India once, and it is being interfered with along the western border now. Two routes to the same room The objection is not to the direction. It is to the order of operations. Rule 8(2) obliges the Director, Legal Metrology to publish the addresses and access protocols of every authorised timing service. No such list is public. Engineers were asking for exactly this in 2022, when CERT-In first told organisations to synchronise their clocks with NIC or NPL servers. Publication is now a legal duty and still has not happened. Capacity is no clearer. Answering an RTI filed by MediaNama in December 2022, CSIR-NPL said it ran 20 NTP servers, all of them at one location in Delhi. NIC declined to give a count, citing security. Those figures are nearly four years old, and nothing public has replaced them. Then there is the part that is easy to miss. NavIC does not keep independent time. Published metrology work on the IRNSS Network Timing Facility describes its time scales as linked to UTC(NPLI), the realisation of universal time maintained at CSIR-NPL in Delhi. For a bank in Jammu, NavIC and the national time servers are not two independent sources of truth. They are two routes to the same laboratory. The rules also decline to say how accurate is accurate enough. Rule 2(a) defines accuracy as conformity to IST without a millisecond or microsecond figure anywhere in eight pages, and Rule 10 provides for audits against a standard the text never states. Rule 11 says a breach is punishable under the Act without naming a section or an amount, and Rule 8(5) lets the Director charge a fee for legally mandated time. Bottom Line Sovereign time is the right objective. A country that refused a navigation signal during a war should not run its banks and its grid on a foreign military system it cannot audit or repair. But a mandate is not a capability, and withdrawing the fallback before the primary is ready produces exposure with better paperwork. Three things ought to be public before these rules bite. The authorised source list Rule 8(2) already requires. The current number and physical distribution of NTP and PTP servers at NPL and NIC. And an answer to a question nobody in government has yet been asked: what happens to Indian time if the Delhi facility goes dark?

PDP and the Politics of Deception: Kashmir Cannot Be Fooled Again
For more than two decades, the Peoples Democratic Party has attempted an extraordinary political balancing act in Jammu & Kashmirspeaking one language while exercising power and another when sitting in opposition. Its politics has repeatedly moved between constitutional mainstream, soft-separatist rhetoric, reconciliation with Pakistan and aggressive criticism of New Delhi, depending upon the political circumstances of the moment. This is not ideological consistency. It is politics of convenience. The 2014 Contradiction The clearest example remains 2014. PDP sought votes in Kashmir by positioning itself strongly against BJP. Yet after the election it entered into an alliance with the very party it had opposed and formed the Government. BJP's ideological position was never concealed. Its views on nationalism, Article 370 and complete integration of J&K with India were known for decades. PDP nevertheless shared power with BJP. If BJP was politically acceptable when ministerial offices were available, how did it suddenly become ideologically unacceptable when PDP lost power? Principles cannot change according to one's distance from the Chief Minister's chair. 2016 Exposed the Contradiction The unrest following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in July 2016 provides an even more telling example. When Mehbooba Mufti was Chief Minister and responsible for maintaining law and order, her language was very different from the rhetoric PDP frequently employs from the opposition benches. In August 2016, she said a small percentage was creating havoc and questioned those attacking police stations and security camps. Later that year, she urged security forces to exercise restraint and avoid pellet guns where possible. The important point is not to reopen the tragedy of 2016. It is to ask a question of political consistency. When responsible for government, PDP understood the compulsions of maintaining public order. Outside government, why does its political narrative so frequently sound as though those compulsions never existed? Kashmir deserves honesty about this contradiction. Jamaat-e-Islami: Why This Political Priority? The contradiction continues today. In July 2026, Mehbooba Mufti said PDP would join the proposed opposition protest in Delhi only if its agenda included restoration of Article 370, release of political prisoners and lifting the ban on Jamaat-e-Islami. BJP is entitled to ask: why should lifting the ban on Jamaat become such an important political priority? Every organisation is entitled to whatever legal remedies are available to it. But political parties seeking to govern J&K must make their priorities equally clear. At a time when young Kashmiris want jobs, investment, modern universities, technology, tourism and entrepreneurship, politics should concentrate upon connecting them with India's enormous opportunities rather than constantly returning them to old ideological battlegrounds. Pakistan Again and Again PDP's 2024 manifesto once again placed considerable emphasis upon the Kashmir issue, India-Pakistan engagement, restoration of constitutional guarantees and cross-LoC economic connectivity. Dialogue between countries is ultimately a matter for the Union Government, determined by national interest and security circumstances. But Kashmir's people must ask what decades of Pakistan-centred political discourse actually delivered to their families. Did it create jobs? Did it bring industries? Did it protect tourism from instability? Did it give Kashmir's children uninterrupted education? The ordinary Kashmiri paid the greatest price whenever terrorism, street violence and instability overwhelmed normal life. The children of Kashmir need laptops, not another generation of conflict. Article 370 and Political Convenience PDP's politics around Article 370 presents another contradiction. Its 2014 manifesto called Article 370 essential and advocated using it to restore J&K's original special status. Yet PDP subsequently governed in coalition with BJP despite knowing BJP's decades-old ideological position on Article 370. Today PDP again projects restoration of constitutional guarantees as central to its politics. It is perfectly entitled to advocate its constitutional position democratically. But voters are equally entitled to ask: If these ideological differences were so fundamental, how did they become manageable while governmental power was being shared? BJP's Position Has Never Been Hidden This is where BJP offers a fundamental contrast. One may support or oppose BJP, but its position has been consistent. BJP opposed Article 370 for decades. When it acquired the parliamentary and constitutional capacity, Article 370 was rendered inoperative. There was no separate position in Jammu, another in Srinagar and a third in Delhi. Political clarity is healthier than calculated ambiguity. Kashmir's Youth Deserve Better The biggest victims of emotional politics have always been ordinary young Kashmiris. Political families survived every turmoil. Ordinary families bore the consequences. When schools closed, ordinary children lost education. When tourism collapsed, ordinary workers lost income. When markets shut, ordinary traders suffered. When violence erupted, ordinary families lived in fear. J&K cannot afford another generation trapped in grievance politics. Its youth want careers, startups, artificial intelligence, tourism, world-class infrastructure, sports, universities and opportunities across India and the world. They should not become raw material for anybody's political revival. Politics Must Move Forward PDP must decide what it ultimately wants to represent: a modern democratic party competing on development and governance, or a political formation repeatedly returning to emotionally charged issues whenever it needs to recover electoral space. Jammu & Kashmir has changed. The old political formulas cannot indefinitely be repackaged and sold to new generations. Kashmir's pain cannot become anybody's permanent political business model. People deserve consistency. They deserve accountability. Above all, they deserve leaders who say the same thing whether they are in Government or opposition. PDP's record raises a question it cannot escape: Why do its political principles appear strongest when it is out of power and most flexible when power is within reach? The people of Jammu & Kashmir have seen this politics before. They should not be deceived by it again. (The author is Senior Advocate & Chief Spokesperson, BJP J&K)

Arif Mohammed Khan calls for integrity, empathy in governance
New Delhi, Sep 1: Emphasising the ethical responsibilities of public office, Arif Mohammed Khan has called for greater integrity, empathy, fairness and non-discrimination in governance, describing Rajdharma as an enduring ethic of public responsibility. Khan made the remarks while delivering the keynote address at Reimagining Governance: Discourse for Excellence (RGDE), organised by the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) on August 31 under the aegis of the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya National Academy of Social Security (PDUNASS). Speaking to senior officers and officials from EPFO and PDUNASS, including officers participating virtually from field offices across the country, Khan said Rajdharma concerns not only the exercise of public power but also the manner in which authority is used in the service of citizens. He described Dharma as a principle of righteous conduct and moral obligation, stressing that public officials must recognise the dignity and worth of every individual. He underlined the importance of sincerity, honesty, self-restraint and non-discrimination in public life. Drawing on Indian spiritual and civilisational traditions, including the Upanishads and teachings associated with Shankaracharya, Khan said public service should be approached as service to humanity, requiring fairness and sensitivity towards citizens. He also stressed that while rules, systems and technology are essential to modern administration, they cannot replace human qualities such as empathy, cultural awareness and ethical judgement. Central Provident Fund Commissioner Ramesh Krishnamurthi linked the discussion to EPFOs responsibility towards millions of workers, pensioners and their families. He emphasised the need to balance legal compliance with empathy and citizen-centric service, particularly in handling claims, pensions and grievances. PDUNASS Director Kumar Rohit highlighted the relevance of Rajdharma to contemporary administration, drawing on the Bharat-Milap episode from the Ramcharitmanas to underline the principle of equitable and responsible governance. The session also featured an interactive discussion with officers on applying ethical values in day-to-day administration, particularly while balancing rules, individual circumstances and technology-driven systems. The programme was moderated by Prashant Sharma, RPFC-I, and concluded with a reaffirmation of PDUNASSs focus on learning, reflection and excellence in public service.
