FM Sitharaman pushes for early India-US trade deal
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 16 (IANS) Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday called for an early conclusion of the proposed India-United States Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) and said its finalisation would be in the interest of both global trade and bilateral economic ties. Speaking with the Atlantic Council on the sidelines the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, FM Sitharaman noted that negotiations appeared to be nearing completion. A day or two ago, the Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal also said that they expect the agreement to be signed soon, according to her. FM Sitharaman said the country had continued to maintain strong growth despite global uncertainties. India, much against all the odds, is able to keep up the growth. In fact, we've been the fastest-growing in the last four or five years since COVID, she said. She attributed the performance to inclusive growth policies, investments in skills development and fiscal discipline. We are conscious that we have a responsibility with public money and therefore have a very clear understanding that we can't be splurging money, even as we have to take care of those who are vulnerable in the economy, the Finance Minister said. Public spending on capital expenditure has helped us build infrastructure in the country and that has a greater multiplier effect, she said. However, her statements came a day after Goyal said the first tranche of the India-US BTA had been finalised and was undergoing legal drafting. The agreement would be operationalised once India secured a competitive advantage over peer economies, Goyal added. Notably, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor on Thursday said the broad framework of the proposed agreement had been finalised and expressed confidence that both sides would soon reach a conclusion. Speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum here, Gor said both countries were very close to finalising the pact.

Adorned with lights and steeped in lore, Durga Puja pandals open for devotees across nation
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 16 (IANS) Durga Puja celebrations officially began in several parts of the nation as Navratri reached its sixth day. The pandal doors were opened to the public, drawing thousands of devotees seeking blessings. The city of Jamshedpur in Jharkhand transformed into a vibrant hub of devotion, joy, and celebration as community-led festivities reached their peak on Friday. Major socio-cultural and religious organisations, including the Hindi Club, Ranikudar, Sri Sri Rankini Mandir, Sri Utkal Durga Puja Committee, Agrico Puja Committee, and Tuiladungri Puja Committee, unveiled massive, intricately designed pandals. Elaborate thematic decorations, synchronised light displays, and traditional Vedic rituals have deeply immersed the local residents in the spirit of worship. Jamshedpur boasts a legacy of hosting approximately 500 distinct Durga Puja celebrations across the city, making it one of the region's largest cultural congregations. Local organising committees have deployed dedicated volunteers and coordinated infrastructure to manage the heavy footfall, ensuring safety and accessibility for families and visitors. As the multi-day festival progresses, the entire city remains unified in a rare blend of community bonding and spiritual reverence. As the nation marked the sixth day of Shardiya Navratri 2006, dedicated to Maa Katyayani, pandals were adorned across cities in West Bengal and other states, including Uttarakhand, Maharashtra and Jharkhand. Devotees were seen hopping between pandals and seeking blessings of the Goddess. Speaking to IANS at the unveiling of Goddess Durgas idol at Kolkatas renowned Tala Barowaris 106th Durga Puja celebrations, a devotee and organiser, Abhishek Bhattacharya, said, We worship the Shakti in three forms: one is Durga, one is Saraswati, and one is Lakshmi. We know through the Puranas and Vedas that Shakti possesses the divine power of Dasha Maha-vidya and Navadurga - the Navadurga of Uma. This is what we have tried to portray in our pandal. Furthermore, in Uttarakhands Kashipur, a seven-day Durga Puja festival has been organised from October 15 to 21, featuring religious rituals, cultural performances, bhajan evenings, and community feasts, with the inauguration by Mayor Deepak Bali. In Jharkhand, JMM general secretary Binod Kumar Pandey and party spokesperson Manoj Kumar Pandey inaugurated the Durga Puja pandal at Harmu Panch Mandir near Harmu Chowk by cutting the ribbon. Meanwhile, in Maharashtra, artist Hafizuddin Ahmed spoke to IANS and narrated how he has been making Ravan effigies for Dusshera for the past 50 years. I make effigies of Ravana, I make Tazia, I do set/scenery design work, and if any order comes from the film industry, I handle that too. As for how many generations, he said, I watched my father work, and he told me that his father and grandfather also used to do this same work.

Mary Millben alleges George Soros role in India protests
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 16 (IANS) American singer Mary Millben has named billionaire George Soros as the funder of protests in India, escalating her online clash with Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke in a video message addressed to young Indians. Answering what she called the last question that Ive been asked a lot, whos funding these protests in India?, Millben said: Its the same person or same group of people, certainly coming from America thats funding a lot of these protests across the world, particularly when you have a conservative leader at the top of the ticket or running the government. The name is George Soros and that whole machine of people are constantly funding a lot of these protests and chaos thats breaking out across the world. Its no secret, she said, adding that Dipke posted on his social media that George Soros was his funder, was giving him money to, you know, do all of his craziness in India. She offered no evidence for the claim. The video goes beyond her posts on X on Wednesday, when she alleged that the CJP was being funded by select donors from the United States, without naming Dipke or any donor. Speaking directly to Dipke, a Boston University graduate, Millben said: Im gonna speak right to you, Dipke. If you were to take that talent, the ability to assemble people, the ability to use your voice, if you were to take that talent and use it for good, then you would, and you will be a force in India. She urged him to go sit down with the prime minister and the leadership of India and share his views constructively, adding: You will not be remembered when this protest season is over. Millben also named Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi and this young man, Dipke, do not carry the type of character or leadership that wants to work across the aisle, meaning work with the prime minister and the current government, and they are not bringing any kind of unity in the country with their protesting, she said, adding that they were not presenting any solutions. The protests in India, she said, carry no real substance. Contrasting the protests with the American civil rights movement, she likened them to Antifa, Black Lives Matter and the protests over the removal of monuments in the United States. She praised Martin Luther King Jr. for peaceful protest that led to the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. He was not at all interested in leading a movement of chaos or destruction or confusion. He was very clear about what needed to happen in America, and he peacefully protested, she said. Millben called Prime Minister Narendra Modi one of the best leaders in the world, citing his 25 years in public office, 12 years as prime minister, three consecutive terms, and rejected allegations of election fraud: Thats not election fraud, folks. Thats the power of the people who believe in a leader. The election commissioners not going anywhere, thats obvious. Prime Minister Modi is not going anywhere. If anything, hell be re-elected in 2029, she said, predicting that the opposition movement will be short-lived. The CJP and opposition parties have been protesting in Delhi to demand the Chief Election Commissioners removal over alleged electoral roll tampering and the special intensive revision (SIR) exercise. Its my hope to get over to India soon because I wanna see all of you and encourage you and inspire you to keep using your voices for good, Millben said, without giving dates. Young patriots, rise up and use your voice. Assemble and protest peacefully. There shall always, there should always be a counter movement to movements of chaos and destruction, and that counter movement is one of peace. Its one of unity, she said. Millben, known for her patriotic performances, sang Indias national anthem at an event during PM Modis 2023 US visit.

SC issues notice to Congress, Rahul Gandhi over march to court, posts against CJI
New Delhi, Oct 15:The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice to the Congress, Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc leaders on a plea seeking restrictions on political demonstrations in court premises following the Oppositions march to the apex court on October 12 and social media posts targeting Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant. A bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi sought responses to the petition filed by four lawyers. Senior Advocate Gaurav Bhatia, appearing for the petitioners, argued that demonstrations within court premises amounted to an attempt to intimidate the judiciary. Nobody can browbeat the judiciary, the CJI observed. We are not sitting in ivory towers. We know what statements they are making outside and what they are saying in Court. We know everything, he said. The petition also sought criminal contempt action against the Congresss Kerala unit over an X post that told the CJI to resign and said the party would find his replacement. However, the bench declined to issue notice on the contempt plea at this stage. No contempt today. We are only issuing notice. Let us see what the response is, and then we will take it forward, the CJI said, according to Bar & Bench. The plea also named Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav among the respondents.
SC issues notice to ECI, CEC on Rahul Gandhi, INDIA bloc plea against SIR
New Delhi, Oct 15: The Supreme Court on Thursday issued notice to the Election Commission of India (ECI) and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on a petition filed by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc leaders challenging alleged large-scale voter deletions and irregularities in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. According to Bar & Bench, a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi sought responses from the poll panel and the CEC and tagged the pleas with petitions already pending before the court challenging the validity of SIR in various states. We are issuing notice and tagging it with the matters already pending. Somebody will accept notice on behalf of the Election Commission of India. Otherwise, serve them, the bench said. The court also indicated that it would seek an explanation from one of the petitioners regarding his conduct at the next hearing, without specifying the person concerned. Issue notice. But one objection, before that. We would like to ask one of the petitioners about his conduct on the next date of hearing. Issuing notice does not mean that we are condemning anything. We are issuing notice. But about one of the petitioners, we will definitely entertain the issue. Issue notice. The notice on behalf of one of the petitioners will be entertained on a provisional basis, subject to his explaining his conduct, the bench observed. The petition has been filed by Rahul Gandhi along with several opposition leaders, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Trinamool Congress leader Saugata Roy, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, CPI(M) leader MA Baby and CPI leader D Raja. Other petitioners include Mahua Majhi of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Supriya Sule of the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar faction) and Mohammed Basheer of the Indian Union Muslim League. The petition challenges alleged large-scale deletions of voters and irregularities in the SIR process and seeks judicial intervention in the exercise. Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc leaders had marched to the Supreme Court on October 12 before filing the plea. The development comes amid protests in Delhi against the SIR exercise, with demonstrators also demanding the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar. The protests followed an Indian Express report alleging that Kumar had taken several decisions relating to the revision exercise unilaterally despite objections from two Election Commissioners. The allegations have added to opposition concerns over the conduct of the electoral roll revision. Several protesters were detained by Delhi Police over the weekend after prohibitory orders were imposed under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The detentions have also led to petitions before the Supreme Court, including allegations that lawyers and journalists were prevented from performing their professional duties. The Supreme Courts notice seeks responses from the poll panel on the issues raised. By tagging the fresh petitions with matters already pending on SIR, the court has brought the latest challenge into the existing proceedings on the electoral roll revision exercise.

Apex Body Leh rejects Chinas claims, affirms Ladakh integral part of India
Srinagar, Oct 15: In response to fresh territorial assertions from Beijing, the Leh Apex Body (LAB) on Thursday rejected Chinas refusal to recognise Ladakhs status as a Union Territory, declaring that the region has always been and will remain an inseparable part of India. The latest diplomatic fallout was triggered by Indias move on October 2 to assign standardised geographical names to 28 strategic locations and key landforms across Ladakh. Reacting to New Delhis initiative, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated during a press briefing that Beijing does not recognise the illegally and unilaterally established Union Territory of Ladakh and firmly opposes Indias publication of standard place names in the region. Beijing further asserted claims over areas in western Ladakh, alleging that the territory historically belonged to China. At a press conference in Leh, LAB leaders condemned the Chinese remarks, terming them baseless, unacceptable and historically inaccurate. Addressing the press conference, LAB leaders, including chairman Chering Dorjey, emphasised that western Ladakh had never been under Chinese control or administration in recorded history. We strongly condemn the Chinese remarks claiming that western Ladakh has always been part of China. Ladakh has never been under Chinese rule. No external power can dictate the identity, aspirations or future of Ladakh, he said. Ladakh stands firmly with India, and its people will continue to uphold the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the nation. Never in recorded history was Ladakh a part of China. We appeal to the Government of India to condemn it in the strongest terms, Larkook, who also heads the Ladakh Buddhist Association (LBA), said. Larkook said the people of Ladakh were living happily with India. We will not give up an inch, including Aksai Chin, which is under illegal occupation by China, he added.
MHA-Ladakh talks inconclusive; next meeting likely on Oct 22
Srinagar, Oct 15: The crucial dialogue between representatives of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and key socio-political leaders of Ladakh ended inconclusively after discussions focused on core regional demands, including constitutional safeguards and a UT-level elected body for Ladakh. However, both sides agreed to keep channels of communication open, with the next round of formal talks likely to be held on October 22. The meeting aimed to address long-standing grievances raised by civil society groups representing Leh and Kargil districts. Representatives of the Leh Apex Body (LAB) and the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), the joint coalition spearheading the agitation, attended the sub-committee-level meeting, scheduled for 4 pm. Ladakh MP Haji Haneefa Jan, CEC LAHDC Kargil Dr Mohd Jaffar Akhoon and Home Ministry officials were also present. The talks followed the September 9 meeting between the two sides in New Delhi, where an understanding was reached on a Ladakh-level elected body and safeguards under the special provision of Article 371 of the Constitution. Speaking to the media after the meeting, LAB president Chering Dorjey said the MHA had presented a draft proposal regarding a UT-level body for Ladakh. He added that the draft would be studied in detail and that the LAB and KDA would submit their response soon. He said discussions had been held but no conclusion had been reached. We entered the meeting with a positive outlook, but the outcome fell short of our expectations, said Asgar Karbalai, co-chairman of the KDA. However, dialogue is a process, and we remain hopeful that concrete progress will be made in the upcoming sessions. Despite the lack of an immediate breakthrough, both sides underscored the importance of sustained negotiations. The sub-committee and civil society representatives are expected to meet in New Delhi on October 22, where detailed draft proposals and specific policy frameworks are likely to be reviewed. The LAB was represented by Chering Dorjey, Lakruk, climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and the president of the Ladakh Buddhist Association. The KDA was represented by Sajjad Kargili, Asgar Ali Karbalai and Ghulam Rasool Naqvi. Haneefa Jan, Lok Sabha member from Ladakh; Thupstan Chhewang, former MP; Dr Mohammad Jaffer Akhoon, chairman of the Kargil Hill Development Council; and Tashi Gyalson, former chairman of the Leh Hill Development Council, also attended the meeting. Senior Ladakh bureaucrats, including Chief Secretary Ashish Kundra, and senior MHA officials were present at the sub-committee meeting.

Delhi on high alert ahead of protest against CEC
57 Metro stations to shut, 45 trains cancelled
NCs major manifesto promises still unmet
Srinagar, Oct 15:Two years after storming to power, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah-led government has delivered on only a fraction of its core pre-election guarantees, hampered by sweeping central control and fiscal constraints. CM Omars National Conference (NC) swept the 2024 assembly polls, Jammu and Kashmirs first elections in a decade, on the back of the partys ambitious 12-point manifesto Dignity, Identity and Development promising the restoration of Article 370, Article 35-A, broad social welfare, and an economic overhaul. Records and public policy rollouts from the CM Omar-led government show that only one of its commitments has been fully executed so far: restoring the regions traditional winter academic calendar for local schools. The rest of the promises remain stalled, diluted, or ensnared in jurisdictional standoffs with New Delhi. Talking to Greater Kashmir, senior NC leader and MLA Pampore, Hasnain Masoodi said, We achieved a lot despite difficulties, despite impediments, and despite dual governance. He said that while the current system of governance does not even allow the elected government to transfer a tehsildar, the government led by CM Omar was delivering satisfactorily. We progressed almost in all spheres, may be not at the pace needed. However, we did well in carrying out development in road connectivity, drinking water, healthcare, education, and other sectors, Masoodi said. He said that Minister for Health Sakina Itoo had inaugurated a Rs 21.50 crore Tesla MRI facility at Government Medical College (GMC) Anantnag, improving the healthcare facilities in the process. Health care is getting better at Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) in Srinagar, in Jammu, and elsewhere across J&K, the senior NC leader said. He said that in the education sector, the J&K Private Universities Act, 2026, will be revolutionary. We will be able to provide medical universities and engineering universities in J&K and help students who had to leave for countries like Bangladesh, Iran, and Kyrgyzstan to acquire medical and engineering degrees and would get caught in conflict, Masoodi said. He said that in this process, crores of rupees draining out of J&K would also stay within J&K. Expressing satisfaction over developmental works, the senior NC leader said that in just his constituency, Pampore, developmental works to the tune of Rs 45 crore were being carried out by the Public Works Department (PWD) alone. NCs top political pledges of reversing the 2019 revocation of J&Ks special constitutional status, reclaiming statehood, and repealing the controversial Public Safety Act (PSA) have run up against New Delhis legal architecture. While NCs political initiatives demonstrate continued action on the issue, neither Article 370 nor Article 35-A has been restored, and J&K continues to remain a Union Territory. CM Omars cabinet and J&K Assembly passed resolutions calling for the restoration of special rights and statehood, but actual executive authority over constitutional matters, the police, and public order rests firmly with the centrally appointed Lieutenant Governor and the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. Similarly, long-standing demands to reclaim centrally held hydroelectric projects run by NHPC have made little headway with the Union Power Ministry. On the economic front, promises of direct relief have encountered severe budgetary arithmetic. A high-profile guarantee to supply 200 free units of electricity to various sections remains under tariff-board review amid heavy transmission deficits. The government introduced an electricity-bill amnesty scheme in August 2025, waiving accumulated interest and surcharges on eligible domestic dues up to March 31, 2025. The relief offered consumers a way to settle outstanding bills without the additional financial burden. The promise of providing improved drinking-water facilities to the people of Jammu and Kashmir also remains unfulfilled, although there is progress on better infrastructure. Pledges to deliver 12 free cooking gas cylinders annually to economically weaker families, provide aRs 5000 monthly stipend to female heads of low-income households, and allocate 10 kg of free food grains per person each month have faced administrative delays and funding bottlenecks. The 2026-27 Budget proposed six free LPG cylinders annually for AAY households. The measure represents progress towards the manifestos energy-relief commitment, but it provides half the promised number of cylinders and applies to a narrower beneficiary category. Employment was among the NCs most prominent campaign commitments. An ambitious target to fill all government vacancies within 180 days and create 1 lakh youth jobs has lagged well behind schedule, stalled by administrative scrutiny over recruitment procedures. On February 11, 2026, the government informed the Assembly that 77,099 posts were vacant across departments. These included 40,666 posts under the direct-recruitment quota, with the remainder falling under promotion quotas. The government said vacancies had been referred to recruiting agencies and that advertised posts would be filled in a time-bound manner. The administration also promoted entrepreneurship through Mission YUVA. Presenting the 2026-27 Budget, CM Omar said the initiative had attracted thousands of prospective entrepreneurs and generated applications for business support. While these measures indicate activity on employment and recruitment, vacancy figures do not establish any major recruitments or new jobs having been created. The governments swiftest victory came inside its first month in office, when the cabinet scrapped a centrally mandated March-April school session and reinstated the October-November examination cycle, aligning school terms with Kashmirs severe winter climate. The government increased marriage assistance for eligible girls from Rs 50,000 to Rs 75,000 and widened eligibility by removing the Class 8 qualification requirement. It also introduced free public transport for women on government-owned buses from April 2025. The NC pledged a comprehensive campaign against drug addiction, including stronger prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. The issue remains a major public concern in J&K, particularly because of its impact on young people and families. However, the NC manifestos proposed response, including a functioning network of new rehabilitation facilities and a measurable, government-wide programme matching the promise, is still missing. The NC manifesto promised to protect the apple industry, support saffron growers, exempt horticultural produce from GST, and establish fruit-preservation infrastructure. The government continued agricultural support programmes and announced further investment in controlled-atmosphere storage, crop insurance, and high-density plantation. In its 2026-27 Budget, the government proposed additional storage capacity and insurance measures covering crops including apple and saffron. These steps address some of the sectors concerns, particularly storage losses and exposure to weather-related risks. The proposed GST exemption, fruit-preservation parks, and wider measures to secure growers incomes are still a far cry. The NC promised a medical trust providing insurance cover of up to Rs 5 lakh for specified serious illnesses, alongside Village and Mohalla Clinics. The governments subsequent budgets have included healthcare investments, additional medical education capacity, and plans for emergency facilities. In February 2026, CM Omar announced dedicated emergency and accident hospitals for Uri and Poonch, along with other healthcare measures. These initiatives may improve access to treatment, particularly in underserved and border areas. However, the government is yet to deliver on the manifestos proposed insurance trust or a functioning network of Village and Mohalla Clinics. The NC manifesto pledged free education up to university level and proposed new higher-education institutions, including skill-focused universities. It also announced education initiatives and additional institutional capacity. The 2025-26 Budget included a proposed National Law University with an allocation of Rs 50 crore, while subsequent budgets announced further education-related investments. The 2026-27 Budget also proposed fee reimbursement for eligible AAY students in government schools from Class 9 to Class 12 and in government degree colleges at the undergraduate level. These measures expand support for selected groups but do not amount to free education for every student through university level. The NC promised to grant industry status to tourism, develop adventure-tourism circuits across Pir Panjal and Chenab, and provide incentives to hotel and houseboat owners. The government has continued to promote tourism and announced further destination development and infrastructure spending. The 2026-27 Budget also outlined plans for new tourist destinations and environmental infrastructure, including sewage treatment and waste management. These measures support the broader objective of strengthening tourism, but they do not establish the promised industry status. The full package of incentives has also not been delivered. The NC manifesto envisaged expanding Srinagar and Jammu through new townships and improving transport infrastructure, including river transport systems. The governments transport initiatives include free bus travel for women and plans to add electric buses. These measures improve access to public transport and represent tangible policy action. However, they do not establish completion of the wider urban-development commitments, including new townships and river transport. The NC also promised to facilitate the dignified return of displaced Kashmiri Pandits and support their rehabilitation. The 2026-27 Budget referred to online facilities for issuing certificates and registering migrant-property grievances, while also discussing support for migrant families. However, there has not been any progress on return-and-rehabilitation programme implementation. Opposition parties argue the ruling party overpromised to win the ballot box. Talking to Greater Kashmir, senior Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader and former minister Naeem Akhtar said that there has been a lack of intent and inability to perform on the part of CM Omar. NC has been in power for the better part of the last century without much to show either politically or on the development front, he said. At election time they come with a particular narrative. The same promises were made before the 2024 assembly elections that had been made to the people in 1931, which are political rights, jobs, and development. Akhtar said that the NC had been bringing the bar lower and lower and getting caught in their contradictions. CM Omar Sahab first said he didnt want to be a peon outside the office of the Lieutenant Governor. Then he realised that even the reduced chief ministership would go out of the family. So, he did a rethink and came back, he said. NC junked the promises on which they came to power on the very first day of assuming office when Omar Sahab said that NC was not going to pursue Article 370 and Article 35-A restoration or the reversal of August 5, 2019. Thats where he started and cosied up to the Bharatiya Janata Party for his survival despite having 50 seats as people of Kashmir gave NC a huge mandate. Akhtar said that CM Omar started sounding like an agent without ever stressing the rights for which he was actually elected. He was elected to fight, not to be an apologist for the changed situation. He had to tell the Government of India that whatever it did in 2019 was not acceptable to the people of J&K, but he wavered on that. He went back on even things that are within his domain, like the promised free electricity. Unfortunately, even paid electricity is not available to the people. Power tariffs have increased, and poor families are not even able to pay the increased electricity bills, the senior PDP leader said. Akhtar said that CM Omar did not even fulfil the promise of providing jobs to the unemployed youth within the first year but provided jobs to their own workers through the back door by way of outsourcing. The most pressing issue of our times is the reservation, and there is no progress on that either, he said. Akhtar said that the NC had always overpromised and got away with it ever since 1931. They know how to fight elections on false promises. They know they can sell the moon and not offer even the dust. They had a country in 1931 which has now been reduced to the size of a matchbox, that too without powers, without empowerment, and without rights, but they are still ruling. This is the tragedy of Kashmir, which is interwoven with the staying in power of NC, he said. As CM Omar approaches mid-tenure, pressure is mounting from a youthful electorate coping with unemployment and rising living costs. Talking to Greater Kashmir, Mohammad Sayeed Malik, a veteran journalist with six decades of experience covering Kashmir politics, said that when Omar Abdullah decided to contest elections after reluctance, he knew what he walked into. He said CM Omars grandfather and former Prime Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah, who had been jailed in 1953, was brought back to power in 1975 when he had no majority in the Assembly or was not even a legislator. Malik said that Omars father and three-time chief minister Farooq Abdullah continued to function as J&Ks CM while Omar Abdullah continued to hold on to the post of a union minister in the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre despite the NDA trashing the autonomy resolution that was passed by the J&K Assembly. Omar Sahab sang Prime Minister NarendraModi eulogies at the time of the Zojila Tunnel function and went on to present Kashmiri shawls to every minister in the Centre, he said. Malik said that the development in J&K was hit as 95 percent of the IAS officers who are responsible for carrying out developmental activities remain outside the CMs ambit. When you lack authority, where is the question of carrying out development, he said. Unfortunately, both Omar Sahab and Dr Farooq (Abdullah) Sahab dont seem to be minding it as far as they continue to hold on to power. For CM Omars government, the challenge is to convert partial progress into measurable outcomes and demonstrate that the commitments that helped return the NC to power can be delivered within its five-year mandate.

Peace not weakness: Rajnath warns Pak
Srinagar, Oct 15: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday cautioned Pakistan against any future terrorist attack on India, asserting that the countrys commitment to peace should not be mistaken for weakness and warned that any terror act originating from across the border would invite a stronger response. Addressing a Defence Conclave in New Delhi, Singh said Operation Sindoor, the Balakot airstrikes and the surgical strikes reflected a decisive shift in Indias approach to terrorism, moving beyond diplomatic condemnation towards proactive military action aimed at dismantling the sources of terror. India is committed to peace, but it should not be mistaken for weakness. We're fully prepared to safeguard sovereignty, integrity and national interests, Singh said. He maintained that Indias cultural ethos favoured dialogue, coexistence and peaceful resolution of disputes, but stressed that sustaining peace required military strength, preparedness and the ability to confront aggression. Operation Sindoor, Balakot Airstrikes and Surgical Strikes weren't just military operations; they symbolised a decisive shift in the nation's approach, moving from diplomatic condemnation to proactive action aimed at rooting out terrorism by reaching its very source, he said. The Defence Ministers remarks underlined the governments stated resolve to respond firmly to cross-border terrorism while strengthening the countrys ability to detect and counter emerging security threats. Singh also cited the changing nature of terrorism, warning that threats were no longer confined to organised militant groups. He pointed to lone-wolf attackers and what he described as white-collar terrorism, calling for heightened vigilance by security agencies and citizens to identify suspicious activities and prevent attacks. Highlighting the expanding dimensions of national security, Singh outlined what he termed the 5D Security Threatdisinformation, destabilisation, disruption, deception and destruction. He said hybrid, high-tech and hyper warfare had made the detection and neutralisation of threats increasingly complex, requiring security agencies to adapt to rapidly evolving methods and technologies. The changing threat environment, he indicated, demands a broader security response that combines intelligence gathering, technological capabilities and public vigilance rather than relying exclusively on conventional military measures. Singh also claimed that since 2014, the operational lifespan of most terrorists had fallen to less than a year, with security forces neutralising them within a year of their taking up arms against India. On defence preparedness, he called for a shift towards smart power, combining military strength with artificial intelligence, precision-guided weapons, loitering munitions and affordable, adaptable technologies. Modern defence strategies must integrate precision-guided weapons and loitering munitions with cost-effective weaponry, human intelligence with artificial intelligence, and advanced systems with low-cost, agile and adaptable technologies to address evolving security challenges, he said. Singh said Indias defence strategy was moving beyond meeting immediate operational requirements towards building a self-reliant and future-ready defence ecosystem. He said 75 per cent of the defence modernisation budget had been earmarked for procurement from Indian industries, highlighting the role of domestic manufacturers, start-ups, micro, small and medium enterprises and individual innovators in strengthening military capabilities. Citing Operation Sindoor as an example of growing indigenous defence capabilities, Singh referred to the Akash missile system, BrahMos and other advanced equipment used by the armed forces. He said the operation demonstrated increasing confidence in home-grown defence technologies and reflected the importance of reducing dependence on foreign suppliers. The Defence Minister also highlighted the expansion of the domestic defence innovation ecosystem. As of March 2026, the Innovations for Defence Excellence initiative had engaged 676 start-ups and innovators and facilitated 551 contracts, he said. Singh said national security increasingly required coordinated efforts by government agencies, the defence industry, researchers and citizens. He expressed confidence that India would emerge as a developed nation by the centenary of Independence, with technology, economic growth and defence capabilities playing central roles in that ambition.
