July 13 Martyrs inspire us to fight injustice: CPI(M)
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] on Monday said that unity among the people and sustained struggle for the restoration of democratic and constitutional rights was the only way forward for Jammu and Kashmir, as the union territory observed the historic July 13 martyrs' day. In a statement issued here, CPI(M) J&K State Secretary Mohammad Abass Rather recalled the supreme sacrifices of those who laid down their lives in 1931 against the autocratic rule of the time, asserting that the day would continue to inspire future generations to fight political and economic injustices. The memory of July 13 martyrs cannot be erased from our hearts and history by merely cancelling the holiday on this day, Rather said, while criticising the restrictions imposed on people wishing to visit the Mazar-e-Shohda to pay homage. The CPI(M) leader also voiced concern over the post-August 5, 2019 changes in land and job laws, stating that the unique land reforms achieved after the overthrow of autocratic rule were being altered, adversely impacting the security of land and employment for the people of J&K. He further alleged that tall claims of generating huge employment opportunities since the abrogation of Article 370 had turned out to be a farce on the ground. People are harassed on one pretext or another by some sections of law-enforcing agencies, widening the trust deficit, he said, adding that several individuals were languishing in jails, particularly outside J&K, without trial. Referring to the 2024 assembly elections, Rather said that despite massive public participation, the mandate was not being appreciated by those in authority in Delhi. The bureaucracy is ruling the roost, adversely impacting public service delivery in Jammu and Kashmir, he added. The CPI(M) leader said the people of J&K were realising through their own experiences that restoration of statehood, along with the protection of land and job rights and freedom of expression, were issues of vital importance requiring a united resolve. Broader unity and struggle for immediate issues concerning the well-being of the people and restoration of democratic and constitutional rights is the only way forward, he said. Rather also informed that the party had applied to the district administration for permission to proceed to the Mazar-e-Shohda to pay floral tributes but was not allowed to do so. The real tribute to the martyrs demands a firm resolve to continue the struggle for a better future for our people, he added.

MLA Poaching Claims: BJP files Rs 100 Cr defamation case against Omar Abdullah
Srinagar, July 13: Escalating the political confrontation with the ruling National Conference, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday served a legal notice on Chief Minister Omar Abdullah over his allegations that the party had attempted to lure NC legislators with cash and ministerial berths to topple his government. Describing the allegations as false, baseless and defamatory, the BJP demanded that Omar withdraw his remarks and issue an unconditional public apology within seven days, failing which it would initiate civil and criminal proceedings, including a Rs 100-crore defamation suit. The controversy stems from remarks made by the Chief Minister during an interaction with National Conference workers at Hazratbal last week, where he alleged that BJP leaders were trying to engineer defections within the NC to destabilise his government. Omar had claimed that an NC legislator from Jammu informed him that he had been offered between Rs 20 crore and Rs 30 crore, along with a ministerial berth, in exchange for switching allegiance to the BJP. The legal notice, issued through advocate Parimoksh Seth on the instructions of BJP J&K president and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Paul Sharma, contends that the allegations have seriously damaged the reputation and public standing of the party and its leadership. According to the notice, the Chief Minister had also alleged that a senior BJP office-bearer, who is a practising lawyer in the Supreme Court, played a role in facilitating the alleged offers to NC legislators. Rejecting the claims outright, the BJP said the accusations were entirely untrue, malicious and without any factual basis and were made with the sole intention of tarnishing the image of the party and its leadership. The notice calls upon Abdullah to withdraw his allegations in writing, refrain from making similar statements in future and issue an unconditional apology within seven days of receiving the notice. Speaking to reporters, BJP president Sat Paul Sharma defended the party's decision to initiate legal proceedings, saying the Chief Minister's remarks were aimed at maligning the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The damage caused by these allegations cannot be compensated even by Rs 100 crore. Through his remarks, Omar Abdullah has attempted to tarnish the image of the world's largest political party and a leadership that has worked in the interest of the nation, Sharma said. Rejecting the National Conference's invitation to join its proposed July 20 protest in Delhi seeking restoration of statehood, Sharma reiterated the BJP's faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's assurance that statehood would be restored at an appropriate time. He alleged that certain political forces in Jammu and Kashmir had contributed to an atmosphere that delayed the restoration process and stressed that peace, stability and a conducive environment were essential prerequisites for the return of statehood. All political parties should work towards strengthening peace and stability in Jammu and Kashmir so that the conditions become favourable for restoration of statehood, Sharma said.

Bharat Tex 2026: Weaving Modis 5F Vision
From the ethereal warmth of a Kashmiri Pashmina to the majestic luster of Assams Muga silk, from the vibrant geometric patterns of a Rajasthani Bandhani to the timeless, structured elegance of Kanjeevaram silk, Indias geographic and cultural diversity is a living, breathing map drawn in thread. Today, this unparalleled civilizational canvas is assembled under a single, unified roof. As Bharat Tex 2026 opens its doors at the iconic Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, running from July 14th to 17th, it brings the beautiful diversity of our nation into a single place. Textiles are not merely a reflection of our heritage; they are an absolute bedrock of Indias macroeconomic architecture. The sector remains a monumental engine of growth and equity, contributing 2.3% to GDP, 13% to industrial production, and 8.6% to exports. As India's second-largest employer after agriculture, it sustains over 100 million, strengthening rural communities and driving financial autonomy for millions of women nationwide. To truly appreciate this economic powerhouse, one must experience Bharat Tex. It is India's definitive, global-scale textile trade fair, designed to showcase our absolute manufacturing and creative dominance to the entire world. It acts as a comprehensive marketplace hosting domestic manufacturers, state pavilions, international exhibitors, and global buyers under a single roof, enabling high-value sourcing, corporate engagement, and brand showcasing at an unprecedented scale. Reflecting on the journey of this grand initiative, I am reminded of the immense pride and clarity brought by the previous two editions of Bharat Tex. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the textile community during the last edition of Bharat Tex, he beautifully observed that the seed we planted is now rapidly growing into a banyan tree. He noted that this grand showcase not only celebrates our rich traditions but also highlights the immense possibilities of a developed India. The massive success of the first two editions, which attracted unprecedented international buyers and generated massive collaborative momentum, laid a formidable foundation. My personal experience during the Bharat Tex 2025 ,witnessing intensive government-to-government and business-to-government dialogues translated into tangible outcomes confirmed a highly positive outlook for the future and demonstrated growing global trust in India's execution capabilities. This third edition takes that momentum significantly further, translating early potential into absolute industrial dominance. The incredible scale of this year's event represents a calculated industrial strategy. Spanning an immense footprint across dedicated exhibition halls at Bharat Mandapam, the exhibition presents Indias complete textile value chain including fibre, yarn, fabric, apparel and fashion, home textiles, technical textiles, and ancillary industries. Over 1,600 exhibitors are participating, bringing localized production strength directly onto the global platform to mirror Prime Minister Modi's transformative 5F Vision: Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign. By integrating the entire value chain into a single industrial continuum, the event showcases Indias self-reliant capacity to manage every manufacturing stage natively. The global response to this proposition has been remarkable. This edition features international exhibitors from 14 countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Portugal, Spain, New Zealand, South Korea, South Africa, and Nepal, alongside strong institutional representation from the United Nations and the European Union. Ministerial delegations and high-level business representatives from several countries are participating to explore long-term partnerships. The exhibition is expected to draw over 7,000 buyers from over 110 registered countries and 1.3 lakh trade visitors over the four days, all engaging with more than 20,000 textile products on display. This commercial activity will be anchored by more than 3,500 curated business-to-business meetings, alongside dedicated State Investor Connect Sessions that provide individual Indian states a platform to pitch their distinct industrial infrastructure. True industrial leadership requires a deep commitment to knowledge and future planning. Bharat Tex 2026 anchors this responsibility through the Global Textile Dialogue, which comprises over 100 curated sessions including panel discussions, roundtables, masterclasses, state sessions, awards pitch fests, and workshops. Led by more than 370 international and national CXOs, policymakers, and innovators, these curated tracks will focus on scaling Trade and Investment, advancing Technology and Innovation, and elevating Fashion and Craft. The event will also witness the signing and launch of several strategic agreements and sectoral reports across trade, investment, technology, and institutional collaboration. A significant focus of these deliberations is dedicated to the critical pillar of Sustainability and Circularity. During the previous edition, the Prime Minister highlighted that the global fashion community is increasingly embracing the vision of 'Fashion for Environment' and that sustainability has always been an integral part of Bharat's textile heritage. This edition of Bharat Tex turns global eco-challenges into a massive opportunity, showcasing how cutting-edge innovations evolve our traditional techniques to maximize resource efficiency and eliminate waste, directly benefiting our weavers and artisans. Under the pragmatic leadership of our Minister of Textiles, Shri Giriraj Singh Ji, the Ministry has actively accelerated these modernization and sustainable growth initiatives on the ground, ensuring that our entire textile value chain is backed by robust modern technology, scalable policy frameworks, and robust market linkages. The remarkable scale and confidence reflected through Bharat Tex are the direct outcome of a decade of sustained policy reforms under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Over the past 12 years, the Modi Government has strengthened every link of the textile value chain through transformative interventions. The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Textiles has attracted investment commitments of over 31,687 crore, catalyzing large-scale manufacturing in Man-Made Fibre apparel, fabrics, and technical textiles while generating massive employment. Simultaneously, seven PM MITRA Parks are being developed as integrated manufacturing ecosystems embodying the Prime Minister's visionary 5F approach. Grassroots empowerment remains equally robust; through the National Handloom Development Programme, nearly 2,000 crore has been invested across 794 handloom clusters, providing upgraded looms to 1.17 lakh weavers and skill training to around 90,000 workers, while over 1,335 crore has been channeled into the handicrafts sector under the National Handicrafts Development Programme. Furthermore, over 1.5 lakh weavers have been onboarded onto the Government e-Marketplace (GeM), with the Weavers MUDRA Scheme providing collateral-free loans to nearly 3 lakh beneficiaries. By connecting our domestic manufacturers, artisans, and innovators directly with global markets, these comprehensive reforms have structurally prepared us for the massive global step-up we see on display this week. As we look across the vibrant exhibition halls of Bharat Mandapam, our perspective extends far beyond the immediate horizon of this trade show. This event serves as a critical milestone along our Vision 2030 roadmap to scale Indias textile industry into a $350 billion global powerhouse, a trajectory aligned perfectly with the national goal of Viksit Bharat @ 2047. I invite everyone to join us over these next four days at Bharat Tex 2026 to witness the incredible strength of our workers, the brilliant innovations of our creators, and the future of global textiles, proudly designed, sustainably made, and integrated at scale in India.
