Apni Party backs statehood demand, skips NC's Jantar Mantar protest
Srinagar, July 18: Apni Party on Saturday extended support to the demand for restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir but announced that it would not participate in the National Conference's proposed sit-in protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on July 20. The decision was taken at a meeting of the party's senior leadership at its Srinagar headquarters and announced by party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari at a press conference. Bukhari said the demand for statehood reflects the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and has been one of the party's core agendas since its formation in March 2020. We fully support the demand for restoration of statehood, but we have decided not to be part of the proposed protest, he said. He maintained that the restoration of statehood and other constitutional rights could be achieved through meaningful dialogue and constructive engagement with the Centre rather than protests and confrontation. History has shown that confrontation has only resulted in the loss of rights. Dialogue remains the most practical and effective way to secure the aspirations of the people, Bukhari said. Taking a swipe at the National Conference, he said the ruling party had taken six years to raise the issue of statehood and had announced the protest without consulting other political stakeholders. Had there been broader consultations, a more effective strategy could have emerged, he said, adding that important issues such as statehood, constitutional safeguards for land and jobs, and the release of detainees require a united political approach. Bukhari also said the National Conference, being an elected government, should utilise constitutional and political channels to pursue the issue with the Centre instead of resorting to street protests. Responding to questions, he said the Apni Party would continue to hold the National Conference accountable for what he termed its failure to deliver on governance despite receiving a strong public mandate. He also urged the Centre to fulfil its commitment to bridge the Dilli aur Dil ki Douriyan and initiate dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, while reiterating the party's demand for restoration of constitutional rights. Senior party leaders, including Mohammad Dilawar Mir, Rafi Ahmad Mir, Mohammad Ashraf Mir and Abdul Majeed Padder, were present at the press conference.

New Delhi, July 18: Ahead of the Monsoon session, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Saturday approved the merger of six Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs with the Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and allowed separate seating for the 20 rebel TMC lawmakers, who have joined a little-known party, NCPI. Official sources said that with the merger of the six MPs, the strength of the Shiv Sena has gone up to 13. The TMC rebel groups of 20 MPs will seat separately, away from the parent party, the sources said. No final decision has been taken on the demand of the rebel TMC MPs to be recognised as part of the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI), and the matter is still under consideration, they said. The TMC and Shiv Sena (UBT) had demanded the disqualification of the rebel MPs. The rebel TMC MPs are also likely to attend Sunday's all-party meeting. The Lok Sabha Speaker had earlier met a TMC delegation headed by its leader Abhishek Banerjee as well as the party's breakaway group. A similar exercise was also carried out with regard to the Shiv Sena (UBT). Consultations with legal and constitutional experts of Parliament were carried out and they provided their inputs to the Speaker to help him take the final decisions, sources said. The decisions came two days ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament, which will begin on July 20 Past precedents, decisions taken by the former speakers of Lok Sabha and chairmen of Rajya Sabha in similar situations were also examined before taking the informed and legally sound decisions, the sources said, adding Constitutional and legal aspects were looked into. Besides the rebel groups of the TMC and Shiv Sena (UBT), the DMK also sought a separate seating arrangement, away from the Congress, after the principal opposition party broke its decades-old alliance with the Tamil Nadu party and joined hands with the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's party TVK. This demand is also likely to be accepted by the Speaker. Altogether, 29 MPs got elected to the Lok Sabha on TMC tickets in the 2024 general election. As many as 20 MPs broke away from the party and joined NCPI, a registered unrecognised political party headquartered in Howrah, West Bengal, and sought separate seating arrangement. The rebel group also expressed their allegiance to the Narendra Modi government and their desire to join the ruling NDA. One TMC MP passed away some time ago and the seat remains vacant. In case of Shiv Sena (UBT), a total of nine MPs got elected on party tickets, of which six have joined the rival Shiv Sena, headed by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Both the TMC and Shiv Sena (UBT) argued before the Speaker that their rebel MPs should be disqualified as the defections fall under the anti-defection law. The two parties argued that the anti-defection law may not be applicable only if two-thirds of the entire party walk away from its fold. TMC general secretary and its Lok Sabha leader Abhishek Banerjee demanded before Birla that the rebels should be disqualified. He also said the claims of the rebels that they 'merged' with the NCPI were not valid, and as per the law, two-thirds of the entire party must merge with another party, not just individual legislators. Banerjee had also submitted before the Speaker 20 separate petitions against the 20 rebels seeking their disqualification. Shiv Sena (UBT) had also met Birla and urged him to share the demands submitted to him by the six rebel MPs of the party who have now joined the Eknath Shinde-led party. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Anil Desai had said that they conveyed to the Speaker that the Tenth Schedule is clear: Any group of a legislature party cannot merge into some other party on its own, even if they have a two-thirds majority. On July 14, Sudip Bandyopadhyay and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, leaders of the rebel TMC, met the Speaker and discussed with him seating arrangements for the party's 20 MPs in the Lower House. They also discussed the allotment of a party office in the new Parliament building, the sources said.

During the flight--Kalam-1200, the solid first stage carried the rocket through the thickest part of the atmosphere before separating cleanly. The payload fairing was then separated, exposing the satellites to space for the first time. The second stage, Kalam-250, completed its burn and separated, followed by the ignition of Kalam-100, the smallest and highest-flying solid stage of Vikram-1. The solid-propulsion phase concluded with the separation of Stage 3, paving the way for the Orbital Adjustment Module to complete the mission. The Vikram-1 rocket, powered by three solid-fuel stages and a liquid orbital adjustment module, is designed to deploy payloads up to 350 kg into a 450-km Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The maiden flight carried multiple payloads, including the Diamond Lotus, a lab-grown diamond from Bengaluru-based Cosmos Diamonds. Among the payloads on Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 is something truly special--a handwritten postcard from PM Modi with the words, Vande Mataram. It travels to space alongside handwritten messages from the Skyroot team, investors, policymakers, and well-wishers across the globe, making Mission Aagaman a celebration carried by many hands and shared by millions.
