Delhi HC seeks police reply on Sharjeel Imams bail plea
The Delhi High Court on Friday sought the response of the Delhi Police on a fresh bail plea filed by Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case, Bar & Bench reported. A Division Bench of Justices Prathiba M. Singh and Vikas Mahajan issued notice to the police and asked it to file its reply within two weeks. The matter has been listed for hearing on August 27. During the hearing, the Bench asked whether there had been any change in circumstances to justify granting bail. Imams counsel submitted that the trial had made little progress, saying it remained at the same stage as seven months ago and that arguments on framing of charges had continued for over 200 days. The court noted Imams submission that charges are yet to be framed despite the passage of substantial time. It also recorded that the Supreme Court had earlier granted him liberty to seek bail again if the trial was delayed. Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju, appearing for the prosecution, said a reply would be filed and informed the court that the trial had not yet commenced. Imam, arrested in January 2020, is among those accused of conspiring to orchestrate the communal violence that broke out in northeast Delhi during protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. His bail plea was rejected by a Delhi sessions court on July 4, following which he approached the High Court, according to Bar & Bench.

Sajad Lone questions NC's planned Delhi protest, seeks Assembly resolution first
People's Conference President and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone on Friday questioned the National Conference's decision to hold a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi over restoration of statehood to J&K saying the issue should first be taken up constitutionally through the J&K Legislative Assembly before being projected as a national political campaign. Addressing a press conference in Srinagar, Sajad Lone said the National Conference invited their party besides other political parties to join its proposed protest through a letter sent by party president Dr Farooq Abdullah. However, such a move should have been preceded by consensus among political parties and a formal resolution passed by the J&K Assembly, he said. Lone said that J&K Assembly stands as the sole constitutional institution representing the will of the people despite its reduced powers after the abrogation of Article 370. The House should be the first platform to seek restoration of statehood, he added. He said the Assembly may be weaker today than what it was before August 2019, but it continues to represent the aspirations of the people. Any demand for restoration of statehood should first emanate from this institution, he added. Lone urged the government to convene an emergency session of the Assembly and pass a unanimous resolution seeking restoration of statehood before sending an all-party delegation to meet the Prime Minister, Union Home Minister and the Leader of Opposition in Parliament. If that constitutional route fails, only then should protests at Jantar Mantar or elsewhere be considered, Lone said. The People's Conference chief alleged that the National Conference had previously failed to support resolutions related to Article 370, Article 35A and statehood inside the Assembly. Referring to amendments moved during the Governor's Address on February 3, 2026, Lone claimed that National Conference legislators voted against his proposed amendments seeking restoration of Article 370, Article 35A and statehood. He alleged that the developments were not adequately reported and accused the media of overlooking a significant vote inside the Assembly. Lone said that converting the statehood demand into a confrontation between the BJP and opposition parties at the national level could dilute Jammu and Kashmir's own political voice. If the issue becomes BJP versus the opposition across India, where will the people of J&K stand? Our demand should remain rooted in Jammu and Kashmir and be articulated through its elected Assembly, he said.
BJP finalises plans for July 20 Secretariat Gherao
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State President Sat Sharma, along with Leader of Opposition (LoP) Sunil Sharma, on Friday reviewed the final preparations for the partys much-anticipated Secretariat Gherao Aandolan scheduled for July 20 in Srinagar. The protest aims to highlight growing public anger over the alleged large-scale outsourcing of government jobs in Jammu and Kashmir. According to party sources, the peaceful rally will commence from Lal Chowk at 10 am and proceed towards the Civil Secretariat. The demonstration is expected to draw significant participation from traders, students, civil society members, trade unions, and concerned citizens. Notably, the BJP has so far extended invitations primarily to non-political groups rather than other political parties, positioning the movement as a broad-based peoples initiative focused on youth rights and governance accountability. During the review meeting, senior BJP leaders assessed logistical arrangements, mobilisation strategies, and coordination with various stakeholder groups. They emphasised maintaining complete peace and discipline during the march while ensuring the core message of fair employment opportunities reaches the administration effectively. The Secretariat Gherao is a direct response to the ongoing controversy surrounding the outsourcing of nearly 25,000 government positions across multiple departments. The BJP has strongly opposed what it describes as backdoor appointments through private agencies, alleging a lack of transparency and merit in the process. Key demands include immediate halt to large-scale outsourcing of government jobs. Transparent, merit-based recruitment through established bodies like JKPSC and JKSSB. Prevention of irregularities and favouritism in public employment. Protection of opportunities for educated youth of J&K and greater accountability and fairness in governance. LoP Sunil Sharma has been at the forefront of the campaign, repeatedly calling the outsourcing policy a scam that deprives deserving candidates while benefiting those close to the ruling dispensation. He has described the NC governments parallel statehood campaign as an eyewash meant to distract from these critical local failures. The July 20 protest gains added significance as it coincides with the National Conferences (NC) planned sit-in at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, where the ruling party, along with invited leaders from the INDIA bloc and other parties, will demand restoration of full statehood to J&K. This convergence of events has intensified the political atmosphere in the Union Territory. While the NC focuses on constitutional and federal issues at the national level, the BJP is keeping the spotlight on day-to-day governance challenges, particularly unemployment and job-related grievances affecting the youth. The outsourcing row erupted after government disclosures revealed that over 22,00025,000 positions in departments such as health, education, forests, sanitation, and IT were outsourced to private firms via the GeM portal. Opposition parties, including PDP and BJP, have alleged opacity, while the NC maintains these are temporary administrative arrangements inherited from previous regimes and do not replace regular merit-based recruitment for thousands of vacancies. This protest reflects the BJPs strategy to stay relevant as a strong opposition voice on governance and development issues post-Article 370. It also underscores the competing narratives in J&K politics today one centred on statehood restoration and the other on immediate livelihood and administrative accountability.

Why we protest at Jantar Mantar
The debate surrounding the restoration of Statehood to Jammu & Kashmir has entered a curious phase. There is now an overwhelming consensus that statehood must be restored. The Union Government has repeatedly promised it. Political parties across Jammu & Kashmir demand it. The people overwhelmingly expect it. Yet, despite this rare consensus, some now argue that before we even protest for statehood, we must first hold another meeting, evolve another roadmap, or first resolve every constitutional issue arising from August 5, 2019. That approach risks becoming another excuse for delay. The people of Jammu & Kashmir have waited long enough. Statehood is not a favour to be bestowed. It is a solemn constitutional and political commitment repeatedly made by the highest leadership of the country. The Honble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has publicly assured the people that statehood will be restored. The Honble Home Minister Shri Amit Shah has reiterated this commitment in the Parliament. During the hearings before the Supreme Court, the Union Government itself stated that Statehood would be restored at an appropriate time. The obvious question today is: appropriate time - If not now, then when? Every milestone cited by the Union Government has been achieved. Delimitation has been completed. Parliamentary elections have been held. Assembly elections have been successfully conducted. An elected government has been functioning for nearly two years. What remains is not another process. What remains is a decision. It is against this backdrop that the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference decided to organise a peaceful democratic protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi during the first day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament. Some have questioned why an all-party meeting was not convened before announcing the protest. The answer is simple. Jammu & Kashmir has not suffered from a shortage of meetings. Since August 2019, there have been countless discussions, consultations, statements and appeals. Every political party has repeatedly articulated its position on Statehood. Had the National Conference first convened another all-party meeting, there was absolutely no guarantee that such an exercise would have produced either consensus or action. It could just as easily have become yet another discussion while the promise of Statehood continued to remain unfulfilled. There comes a point when consultation must give way to democratic action. That is precisely what this protest represents. Recognising that Statehood is not the agenda of one political party but the collective aspiration of the people of Jammu & Kashmir, the National Conference extended invitations to all political parties to join this peaceful democratic movement. Unity is not demonstrated merely by sitting around a conference table. Unity is demonstrated by standing together when the moment demands collective action. Participation in this protest does not require political parties to abandon their individual ideologies or agree on every constitutional question. It simply requires agreement on one immediate objective: the restoration of statehood. There is another misconception that deserves to be addressed. Some have attempted to suggest that by demanding the immediate restoration of statehood, the National Conference has somehow diluted or abandoned its long-standing commitment to the restoration of Jammu & Kashmirs constitutional position prior to August 5, 2019. Nothing could be further from the truth. The National Conference sought the peoples mandate on a manifesto that unequivocally committed itself to restoring Jammu & Kashmirs Special Status and constitutional guarantees. After assuming office, the Legislative Assembly passed a resolution seeking the restoration of Special Status along with constitutional guarantees. That resolution remains alive. It continues to represent the democratic will of the elected Assembly and forms the constitutional and political bedrock for future engagement and dialogue. Our position has not shifted by even an inch. But there is an equally important strategic reality that cannot be ignored. Those who insist that the restoration of Statehood must be inseparably linked with the simultaneous resolution of every constitutional issue arising from August 5, 2019 may sincerely believe they are strengthening the cause. In reality, they risk strengthening the very argument that those opposed to restoring statehood have long advanced. Nothing would suit the BJP more than to argue that because broader constitutional questions remain unresolved, statehood too must wait. That would be a tragic outcome. Statehood is not the end of the political journey. It is the beginning of the next chapter. Restoring statehood revives democratic accountability. It empowers elected institutions. It gives the elected governments the authority to govern, legislators the ability to legislate effectively, and the people the ability to hold their government accountable. Only after restoring those democratic institutions can the broader constitutional and political questions concerning safeguards, identity, land rights, employment protections and Special Status continue to be pursued from a position of democratic strength. The restoration of statehood should be seen not as the destination, but as the foundation upon which the remaining constitutional and political issues can be addressed through democratic engagement. The people of Jammu & Kashmir cannot afford another indefinite postponement. The present Union Territory arrangement has increasingly exposed its structural limitations. An elected government exists, yet critical decisions frequently remain beyond its effective control. Administrative authority and democratic accountability often do not reside in the same place. It is a structural problem. Good governance requires responsibility and authority to exist together. Restoring statehood corrects that imbalance while fully preserving the Union Governments constitutional role in matters relating to national security. Indeed, security and democracy have never been competing objectives in Jammu & Kashmir. For decades, elected governments worked alongside the Union Government and security agencies during some of the most difficult periods in our history. Democratic legitimacy strengthened governance, improved public participation and reinforced the fight against terrorism. Legitimacy strengthens security. It does not weaken it. Ironically, our neighbours reaction to these democratic efforts once again exposes the bankruptcy of its own narrative. For decades, our neighbour dismissed every elected government in Jammu & Kashmir as illegitimate. Today, when elected representatives are peacefully seeking the restoration of statehood and constitutional rights through democratic and constitutional means, they attack them once again. Its discomfort is with democracy itself. Our legitimacy flows from the people of Jammu & Kashmir, is rooted in the Constitution of India, and is reinforced by the repeated commitments made by the Government of India itself. Ultimately, this movement is about something larger than politics. It is about honouring a promise. It is about strengthening Indias federal structure. It is about restoring full democratic accountability. Above all, it is about respecting the faith and the mandate that the people of Jammu & Kashmir have overwhelmingly placed in democratic institutions in 2024. The invitation to every political party remains open. No one is being asked to compromise their principles. No one is being asked to surrender their political identity. They are simply being asked to stand together on one issue that every democratic party claims to support. History rarely remembers those who argued for another meeting. It remembers those who acted when the moment demanded courage. The appropriate time is not after another consultation. It is not after another assurance. It is not after another election. The appropriate time is NOW. Tanvir Sadiq, MLA Zadibal and Chief Spokesperson & Communication Head of the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference.
