Mehboobas remarks unmask PDP's mindset: NC

Srinagar, 27 Jul: Srinagar, July 27: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) Additional General Secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Choudhary Mohammad Ramzan on Monday said the party will continue its peaceful democratic movement until the Centre fulfils its commitment to restore statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. Addressing party leaders and office-bearers at the NC headquarters, Ramzan said restoration of Jammu and Kashmirs special constitutional position and statehood were closely linked, describing the ongoing campaign as a constitutional obligation and democratic necessity. The National Conference remains steadfast in its resolve to restore the constitutional guarantees and democratic rights of the people, he said, adding that the party would continue reminding the Centre of its assurances on statehood. Ramzan said the partys campaign began on July 11 from Hazratbal Shrine and gained further momentum with the statehood protest held in New Delhi under the leadership of NC President Dr Farooq Abdullah, which was attended by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, senior party leaders, ministers, MPs, MLAs and representatives of secular parties. Targeting rival parties, Ramzan accused the BJPs A, B and C teams of staying away from the statehood movement to avoid displeasing the BJP. He alleged that people had understood their political approach and claimed these parties were echoing the BJPs narrative. Reacting to recent remarks by PDP President Mehbooba Mufti, Ramzan said her comments on Kashmiri protesters and the use of force reflected the PDPs political mindset. He accused PDP leaders of attempting to divert attention by alleging that the NC was circulating fabricated videos. Ramzan also urged party workers to remain connected with people, raise public issues and work towards resolving their grievances.

NEET paper leak case: First hearing adjourned after CBI counsel doesn't appear in fast-track court

New Delhi, Jul 27: The first hearing in the designated court to deal with the NEET paper leak case was adjourned on Monday after no one appeared on behalf of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Bail pleas of two accused, Dinesh Biwal and Vikas Biwal, were listed for hearing before Special Judge Anu Grover Baliga. None appears on behalf of the state till 10.45 am to argue on the bail application, the judge said. She noted the submissions of the counsel of the accused that the matter be adjourned to August 3 as he had to argue a matter in the Rohini district courts and that he was unable to wait any longer. Adjourning the matter to August 3, the judge directed the director of prosecution to depute a public prosecutor in the present court. The special judge took charge of the designated court to deal with criminal cases arising from paper leaks and the use of other unfair means in public examinations on Saturday. Earlier on July 23, the Delhi High Court had issued a notification, saying that Judicial Officer Baliga's court would function as a Specially Designated Fast Track Court to try offences under the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024 and connected offences with immediate effect. The notification was issued after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement that fast-track courts would be set up to swiftly deal with cases of paper leaks. Earlier on Friday, Special Judge Ajay Gupta, who was initially hearing the NEET paper leak case, had extended the judicial custody of all 13 accused till August 6 while dismissing the bail plea of accused paediatrician Dr Manoj Bhagwanrao Shirure, saying it is prima facie clear from the probe that he was one of the active conspirators of an organised paper leak gang. On May 12, the National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate), or NEET-UG, held on May 3 for medical admissions amid allegations of paper leak. A re-exam was then held on June 21.

Gold rebounds Rs 2,440 to Rs 1.49 lakh/10g; silver climbs Rs 5,300 amid strong global cues

New Delhi, Jul 27: Gold prices rebounded by Rs 2,440 to Rs 1.49 lakh per 10 grams while silver prices climbed Rs 5,300 to Rs 2.3 lakh per kg in the national capital on Monday following strong trends in global markets. Gold of 99.9 per cent purity jumped Rs 2,440 to Rs 1,49,640 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes), according to the All India Sarafa Association. The metal traded at Rs 1,47,200 per 10 grams in the previous session. Silver prices also rebounded by Rs 5,300 to Rs 2,30,000 per kg (inclusive of all taxes) from Friday's closing level of Rs 2,24,700 per kg. Traders said both precious metals rebounded after two consecutive sessions of losses amid easing inflation concerns as crude oil prices retreated, boosting investor sentiment. Gold gained on Monday as easing tensions in West Asia triggered a sharp decline in crude oil prices, easing inflation concerns, while a weak US dollar and lower Treasury bond yields provided further support for bullion, said Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst - Commodities at HDFC Securities. He, however, added that gains in the domestic market remained limited as the Indian rupee strengthened against the US dollar. In the global markets, spot gold gained USD 42.13, or 1.04 per cent, to USD 4,095.30 per ounce, while silver rose 1.47 per cent to USD 59.04 per ounce. Spot gold hovered near USD 4,100 per ounce on Monday, while silver extended gains to USD 59 per ounce in the international markets, Kaynat Chainwala, AVP Commodity Research, Kotak Securities, said. She said the retreat in crude oil prices after a temporary pause in US-Iran strikes eased inflation concerns that had been fuelling expectations of a tight monetary policy, providing relief to bullion. Pranav Mer, Senior Vice President, EBG - Commodity & Currency Research, JM Financial Services Ltd, said investors will track developments in West Asia, inflation data from the Eurozone, Japan and the United States. Besides, GDP number releases, US Consumer Confidence, weekly jobless claims, and monetary policy decisions by the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan for further direction on bullion prices, he added.

CJP seeks written assurance on withdrawal of FIRs, warns of fresh protest

New Delhi, Jul 27: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Monday said it was awaiting thegovernment's promised written agreement on the withdrawal of criminal cases against protesters and organisers, and warned that it would be forced to resume its agitation if the assurance was not received by Tuesday. Addressing a press conference, CJP national spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said the issue was discussed during the third round of talks with the government before the 36-day protest at Jantar Mantar was called off. In the third round of talks, we had agreed that all FIRs filed against protesters and organisers across the country would be withdrawn and no new FIR would be filed against any organiser and protester in future, Ranka said. He said the CJP had submitted a draft agreement to Union ministers J P Nadda and Jitendra Singh, and it was agreed that the government would share a written agreement by Tuesday after legal consultations. We are waiting for the government to share the written agreement. We hope a senior Cabinet minister will honour the agreement and FIRs will be withdrawn, no protester or organiser would be harassed, and no cases would be filed in future, he said. Ranka said if the written agreement was not received by Tuesday and protesters and organisers arrested in connection with the agitation were not released, the outfit would be forced to protest again. CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said the CJP had ended its protest in good faith after the government agreed to act on its principal demands or assured action within a specified timeline. Ranka said the organisation had consulted senior advocate Kapil Sibal before and after calling off the agitation to ensure that the youth movement was not derailed by what he described as politically motivated litigation or other attempts to weaken it. When we called off the protest, we had doubts that once the momentum went down, the government might target people at an individual level. The same playbook has been used in other protests, where people have been individually targeted, he alleged. He said the CJP had been providing legal and medical assistance to protesters across the country since the beginning of the movement. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, who also addressed the press conference, said no action should be taken against students who participated in what he described as an organic protest. We don't want action to be taken against students who did a protest. It was an organic movement. Governments want no dissent, Sibal said. The CJP had called off its 36-day agitation at Jantar Mantar on Saturday after the government accepted key demands of the protesters, including the resignation of then Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, and assured action on other demands within an agreed timeline.

J&K BJP slams Rahul Gandhi; calls for ban on PDP

Jammu, Jul 27: Senior Jammu BJP leader Sunil Sharma on Monday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of deriving political mileage from the protests over the alleged NEET paper leak, asserting that the Centre already addressed concerns through an agreement. Sharma, leader of the opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, launched a attack on the People's Democratic Party (PDP) over its reported demand for the release of around 2,500 detainees on the lines of the relief extended after the Delhi agitation, and demanded that the party be banned, alleging it was trying to evive and give space to separatist ideology. Rahul Gandhi is unnecessarily trying to insert himself into this entire issue (student protest)...the young people who were part of this movement reached a very amicable resolution with the government, following which they called off their protest, Sharma said, reacting to the letter written by Gandhi to Home Minister Amit Shah. Whether it was their demands for compensation, the withdrawal of FIRs, resignations, or any other issue, the government of India reached an agreement with them on all their demands. Now I fail to understand what Gandhi is looking for. He is simply trying to create political space for himself. Unfortunately, the Congress Party, which has been facing defeats on all fronts, is now trying to find relevance here, Sharma added. In his letter to Shah, Gandhi demanded accountability for the arbaric assault on peacefully protesting students in Delhi and asked whether he approved the use of lethal force, including pellet guns, against the youth. Sharma termed as unfortunate PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti's reported demand for the release of around 2,500 people detained by police following the killing of a policeman by a lone terrorist in south Kashmir last week, questioning whether the party was equating separatists and terrorists with those students who were fighting for their careers and their professional future. The BJP leader alleged that the PDP was advocating the release of those involved in stone-pelting and supporters of terrorists. Unfortunately, I would say that a party whose very foundation was built on separatism should face the same treatment as Jama'at-e-Islami and other Hurriyat organisations that have been banned, he said The PDP should be anned, Sharma said, for its attempt to revive and once again give space to the separatist ideology. Meanwhile, BJP spokesperson Zorawar Singh targeted the National Conference government over the recent controversy surrounding two books allegedly glorifying separatism, accusing it of failing to uphold moral accountability. Drawing a comparison with the Centre's handling of the alleged NEET paper leak, Singh said the then Union Education Minister had resigned on moral grounds despite the National Testing Agency being an autonomous body. In contrast, he alleged, the Omar Abdullah-led government had failed to take responsibility for the textbook controversy. Questioning Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's silence, Singh demanded the resignation or removal of Education Minister Sakina Itoo, accusing the National Conference of practising double standards on morality.

Lok Sabha stalemate likely to end; House to discuss anti-paper leak Bill on Tuesday

New Delhi, Jul 27: The stalemate in the Lok Sabha is likely to end on Tuesday as Speaker Om Birla has convinced leaders of all political parties to take up discussion on the Bill to amend the anti-paper leak law, parliamentary sources said. All political parties have agreed to discuss the anti-paper leak bill on Tuesday. Following Om Birla's initiative and sustained dialogue, floor leaders of political parties have agreed to commence discussion on the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill 2026, a source said. The Centre on Monday introduced a Bill in the Lok Sabha to amend the anti-paper leaks law with stricter punishment of up to 10 years in jail and Rs 50 lakh fine, days after nationwide student protests over the NEET fiasco that led to Dharmendra Pradhans resignation as education minister. The proposed legislation was introduced by Minister of State for PMO Jitendra Singh amidst protests and sloganeering by the Opposition demanding a response from the government over the police crackdown on students during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led July 20 protest march to Parliament. However, no discussion could take place on the Bill as opposition refused to relent from its demand of seeking response from the government over police action on the protesters at Jantar Mantar here and other parts of the country. Since the Monsoon Session began on July 20, the opposition has been raking up the NEET paper leak issue due to which no legislative business could be taken up so far, except for the introduction of two Bills.
