Martyr Sarla Bhat's case: Tip of an iceberg called genocide & ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits
Killings of Hindus in the Kashmir valley through terror activities can't be termed as only selective killings. These were part of a bigger design to evict Hindus from the valley FRAGRANCE OF IDEAS On the last Monday, 29th June 2026, the State Investigation Agency (SIA) filed a 737-page charge-sheet before the Court of the Additional Sessions Judge (TADA/POTA), designated as Special Judge under the National Investigation Agency Act 2008, in Srinagar in the case of Sarla Bhat, who was abducted, raped, tortured and killed in 1990 in Kashmir. Under the orders of the Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police, the investigation was transferred to the SIA on March 18th in 2024. The chargesheet named five accused: Mohd. Yasin Malik, Khurshid Ahmad Chalkoo, Abdul Hamid Sheikh, Mohammad Yousuf Sofi (also known as Idrees) and Ghulam Mohammad Taploo. The SIA described Yasin Malik, who was the then 'chief commander' of the dreaded Jammu & Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), a frontal terrorist organisation, as the principal conspirator and said that he directed the other accused to abduct and kill a young Kashmiri Pandit nurse, Sarla Bhat. Chalkoo stands identified in the chargesheet as the gunman. Sheikh, Sofi and Taploo are already dead (before the charge-sheet was filed). Yasin Malik is in jail in a separate case, while Chalkoo is absconding and is believed by investigators to have crossed over to Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK). Proclamation proceedings were earlier initiated against Chalkoo. Malik has a number of cases against him, including the gruesome murder of IAF personnel in Srinagar and the kidnapping of Rubaiya Sayeed, the daughter of Mufti Sayeed. Only some years back, Rubaiya Sayeed identified Yasin Malik in the designated court as one of her kidnappers in 1989. Killings of Hindus in the Kashmir valley through terror activities can't be termed as only selective killings. These were part of a bigger design to evict Hindus from the valley. This has been stated by the SIA in its charge sheet as well. Sarla Bhat's is a classic case of the heinous acts that were committed against the poor Kashmiri Pandit women because they were Hindus. Girja Tikoo, Prana Ganjoo-Baramulla, Sheela Tickoo, Devi, Durga Kaul, Prana Ganjoo-Srinagar and similar other Hindu women were forced to suffer the unimaginable, and that sent shock waves through the spine of the resistance of the Kashmiri Pandit community against Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism in Kashmir. The acts like the killings and torture of Hindus, brutal rape and murder of women and the persistent slogans through the mosques and also on the streets of the valley paved the way for the extermination of the Kashmiri Pandits from the valley. In fact, the road of exodus was shown to the Pandits by their own Muslim friends, neighbours, colleagues and other acquaintances who brought various means of transport to them to pack and leave Kashmir. There is not even a single instance to suggest that any Hindu family was stopped by the local Muslim majority community from leaving the Kashmir valley during the 1989-90 forced mass-exodus and ethnic cleansing. The ideological base for what was done in 1989-90 was actually laid in 1931, when the then Muslim Conference, in the garb of demonstrations against the then Maharaja, organised planned attacks on the minority community in the Kashmir valley, killing 11 Hindus besides looting and burning their properties. The developments of 1947, 1967, and thereafter, suggesting refusal to co-existence in Kashmir, ignited the hatred towards the Kashmiri Pandits further. In 1946, in a public rally in Tengpora-Baramulla, Sheikh Abdullah asked his followers in the rally that their aim was to evict Hindus from the valley. This is contained in the files of the then political department of the government of Jammu and Kashmir and is on record. The loot, destruction and burning of Hindu temples and shrines in the Kashmir valley and the attack on their properties in 1986 was just a trailer in regard to the events to come. Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front was the first among many terror organisations to kill Hindus selectively, abduct women, rape and torture them and leave their dead bodies to vultures. This terror outfit made it sure that the valley was ethnically cleansed of minority Hindus and inflicted genocide to achieve their target. Terrorism and fear-psychosis were their powerful and effective instruments to exterminate the Kashmir Pandit community, the indigenous people of the valley who established civilisation in Kashmir thousands of years ago. In a prominent case of genocide of Kashmiri Pandits in the Kashmir valley, this author, along with his other colleagues, was instrumental in filing a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in March 1994. The Commissions court, after due deliberations, argumentation and thorough investigation, after listening to the counsels of the complainants, state government and the central government, passed its orders in June 1999. The orders issued by the NHRC court under the chairmanship of Justice Venkatachalliah said categorically that the Commission was constrained to say that acts akin to genocide were committed against the Kashmir Pandit community in Kashmir..and a genocide type design may exist against them in the minds and utterances of the terrorists and militants in the valley. It didnt stop there and said further that the Kashmiri Pandits were not given the due understanding and relief that they deserved. The Hindustan Times editorially called the Pandits the victims of the State too. The Delhi High Court, in a different judgement, described the extermination of Pandits as ethnic cleansing. Only a few years ago, the Home Secretary of India termed the happenings against the Pandits as genocide. The J&K High Court, in another judgement, said that the migration of the Kashmiri Pandits cant be compared with any other migration as it was unparalleled and exclusive. The governments failed to take appropriate steps after these pronouncements by the judicial and quasi-judicial establishments. What was required to be done thirty years ago was allowed to fade away by everyone who mattered constitutionally, politically and administratively. The Supreme Court of India, in a brazen judgment on a petition regarding the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits, said that the issue was time-barred and the court couldn't do anything. However, the same apex court in the case of the genocide of Sikhs opened the files dated back to 1984. Human rights bodies remained mum, and the state actually remained tactically silent. The brutality of the heinous acts didn't move the people in any manner. 'Yasin Maliks men didnt stop at raping the 27-year-old Kashmiri Hindu nurse Sarla Bhat. They then murdered her, engraved the acronym JKLF on her body, and mutilated it out of sheer contempt for her Hindu identity. After that, they issued multiple warnings to her family against cremating her remains according to Hindu rituals. The family still went ahead with the cremation, defying the threats. When they went to collect her cremated remains (asthi) later, a mob of around 200 Islamists descended upon the crematorium and stomped over them. They didnt stop even at that. They then bombed her family home with a grenade', said one of the closest family members. There are numerous such stories that need to be opened, which the people in the government till date wanted to bury for all the times to come. There are some pertinent questions which require answers. Rubaiya Sayeed, who was kidnapped in December 1989, identified Yasin Malik as her abductor 33 years after the event in a court. Why was she silent for more than three decades! She must have revealed the identity of the kidnappers to her family as well, which included Mufti Sayeed and Mehbooba Mufti. Both of them remained the chief ministers of the state for a pretty good time, and Mufti Sayeed was the Home Minister of India for almost a year. What compulsions had they not to take action against Yasin Malik and his terror outfit. The political establishment and the then old bureaucracy, right from the days of V.P.Singh and Mufti Sayeed, tried every attempt to name the forced mass-exodus of the Pandits as migration and term the displaced people of the genocide as migrants. They didnt allow it, calling as genocide officially under the pretext that it would eventually invite international interference. They also made it sure that the displaced people of the valley should be allowed to get dispersed throughout the length and breadth of the country so that their voice is not heard as the voice of the ethnically-cleansed community. All doors for a possible return to the valley for them were shut, burnt or destroyed with the connivance of the government. Then, Yasin Malik was made a youth icon and a symbol of peace on every media channel and print platforms. There were people in the government, close to the government and also close to the politicians in India and Pakistan who took him to the office of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The world saw the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh shaking hands and discussing issues with a dreaded terrorist at the PMs office. This was a brutal defiance of Indias known policy of zero-tolerance against terrorism and in contravention of the sentiments of the families of those who were killed by Malik and his outfit. Now we have a test case, and this government at the centre has to prove that it wont allow the legacy of the bad times and wrong policies to overburden itself. In all cases in regard to the Kashmiri Pandit community, justice delayed is surely justice denied. This one case and all similar cases need a 'special crimes tribunal' for which a demand was made umpteen times by the displaced community of Kashmir. It is time for the government to have a fresh look into this whole issue and declare the displaced community as a victim of genocide in Kashmir, followed by setting up a Special Crimes Tribunal in Jammu and Kashmir to go into the all events right from February 1986 in this connection....!

Lotus will bloom in Kashmir too: BJP Chief Nitin Nabin on his maiden visit
Srinagar, July 06: Bharatiya Janata Party national president on Monday asserted that the partys political journey in J&K was steadily advancing, declaring that the day is not far when J&K also will have a BJP government. Addressing a massive gathering of party workers at Mishriwala on the outskirts of Jammu during his maiden visit to the Union Territory after assuming office, Nabin said the BJPs footprint was expanding rapidly across the region. Lotus is blooming in Jammu and it will soon bloom in Kashmir also, he said, calling upon party workers to intensify public outreach and strengthen the organisation at the grassroots level. Nabin is on a two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir coinciding with the culmination of the nationwide Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee Pakhwada, observed from June 23 to July 6 to commemorate the birth anniversary of BJP ideologue . Recalling the contributions of legendary Dogra warriors, Nabin urged party cadres to connect with people and spread awareness about the Centres policies and achievements in J&K. Drawing a contrast between the pre-2014 situation and the present scenario in Kashmir, the BJP chief revisited his participation in the 2011 Rashtriya Ekta Yatra led by then BJYM president . I was the BJYM general secretary then. We had gone to Srinagar to inform the administration about our plan to unfurl the national tricolour at Lal Chowk, he said. According to Nabin, the administration had warned the BJP delegation that hoisting the tricolour at Lal Chowk could trigger law-and-order problems and disturb peace. Curfew was imposed to stop us from unfurling the tricolour. But while returning after meeting officials, we saw Pakistani flags flying at Lal Chowk, he said. He said the situation changed dramatically after assumed office in 2014. Today, the national tricolour flies proudly at the same Lal Chowk. Many people ask what has changed in Jammu and Kashmir, and I tell them a lot has changed, he said. Highlighting changing perceptions about Kashmiri youth, Nabin said youngsters from the region were now earning recognition in sports and other fields. Today, the youth of Jammu and Kashmir are known as Ranji Trophy champions and not stone pelters, he remarked, adding that the Union Territory was moving towards a new era of peace, progress and prosperity. The BJP presidents visit is being viewed as politically significant, blending ideological messaging with organisational strengthening ahead of future electoral challenges in Jammu and Kashmir. Following the public convention at Mishriwala, Nabin chaired meetings with office-bearers at the BJP headquarters in Trikuta Nagar and later attended a Core Group meeting at Canal Road to review political developments and organisational affairs. He is also scheduled to pay obeisance at the historic. On the second day of his tour, Nabin will visit the revered shrine in Katra before paying tributes to veteran Dogra leader at Dogra Chowk. He will also hold interactions with MPs, MLAs and former elected representatives at Jammus Convention Centre, besides participating in a Yuva Samwad aimed at energising the BJPs youth cadre before leaving for New Delhi.

Day not far when BJP will form its own government in J&K: Nitin Nabin
Jammu, Jul 6: BJP's lotus will bloom in the Kashmir Valley as well, party's national president Nitin Nabin said on Monday, asserting that the saffron party would soon form its own government in Jammu and Kashmir. Nabin arrived here on Monday on a two-day visit, his first after becoming the party president, to review the party's organisational affairs. The day is not far when the Bharatiya Janata Party will form its own government in Jammu and Kashmir, Nabin said while addressing party workers at a function organised to mark Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee's 125th birth anniversary. Reiterating the Centre's commitment towards the Union Territory, Nabin said the government in New Delhi was firmly committed to the development of Jammu and Kashmir and urged party workers to take the Centre's welfare schemes to every household. We are aware that the present government here continues to follow what we consider a dual approach towards Jammu and Kashmir. We have never viewed beneficiaries through the prism of religion. Every poor person is an Indian citizen whose welfare is our responsibility, he said. Calling for sustained organisational work to realise the vision of a developed India by 2047, the BJP president exhorted party workers to strengthen the organisation through sustained effort, like the previous organisations, and realise the dream of Viksit Bharat. I am confident that by then we will also have transformed Jammu and Kashmir into a developed region, Nabin said. Highlighting the Modi government's economic achievements, Nabin said India has emerged as the world's second-largest mobile phone manufacturer. There was a time when India was known merely as a source of manpower...Today, India is no longer just a manpower powerit is emerging as a manufacturing power, he said. Recalling India's Operation Sindoor, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, he said this is not the old India. If anyone attacks our citizens, India will respond firmly, he said, stressing that Jammu and Kashmir was an inseparable part of India. Targeting the Congress over its stand on Jammu and Kashmir, Nabin asserted that the constitutional changes brought after the abrogation of Article 370 were irreversible. Those days are over. The temporary constitutional arrangements that once existed in Jammu and Kashmir have come to an end and cannot be restored, he said. He also said the revival of tourism in Jammu and Kashmir reflected the improving security environment, adding that the sector was generating new employment opportunities for the youth and strengthening the local economy.

Hosts NIT Srinagar storm into semi-finals with commanding seven-wicket win
Srinagar, July 6: On Day 3 of the All India Inter-NIT Faculty & Staff Cricket Tournament 2026, being hosted by NIT Srinagar, the tournament entered the knockout stage with hosts NIT Srinagar, NIT Jalandhar and NIT Hamirpur registering impressive quarter-final victories to book their places in the semi-finals. Earlier in the day, the final round of league-stage matches produced several thrilling contests as teams battled for crucial points. Hosts NIT Srinagar continued their unbeaten run with a dominant seven-wicket victory over NIT Kurukshetra in the quarter-final at the NIT Srinagar Ground. Batting first, NIT Kurukshetra posted 123 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Despite a disciplined effort from their batting unit, they struggled to accelerate against a well-organised NIT Srinagar bowling attack. Prof. Vikas Kumar was the top scorer with 22 runs, while the hosts maintained tight lines and picked up wickets at regular intervals to keep the visitors under pressure throughout the innings. NIT Srinagar's bowlers shared the responsibility impressively, with Dr. Shakeel Waseem leading the attack by claiming 2 wickets for 25 runs in his four overs. He received excellent support from Dr. Mohsin (1/18), Dr. Majid Hussain (1/17), Mudasir Qadir (1/25) and Shahid Hamid (1/19), as each contributed a wicket to restrict Kurukshetra to a modest total. In reply, NIT Srinagar produced another commanding batting display, chasing down the target with ease. The hosts reached 127/3 in just 14 overs, completing the chase with six overs to spare. Dr. Ved Prakash anchored the innings with an unbeaten 50, while Aaqib Sheikh played an aggressive knock of 38 runs. Dr. Pankaj Kumar chipped in with a brisk 16 off 9 balls, and Shahid Hamid remained unbeaten on 11 off just 4 deliveries, as NIT Srinagar comfortably chased down the target to seal an emphatic eight-wicket victory and book their place in the semi-finals. Dr. Ved Prakash was declared the Player of the Match for his half-century. The award was presented by Registrar NIT Srinagar Prof. Atikur Rehman, who felicitated him with a memento. At Ganderbal Physical College, NIT Jalandhar edged past NIT Rourkela by eight runs in one of the most exciting quarter-finals of the tournament. Jalandhar posted 157/6 after valuable contributions from Ravinder (38) and Nitin Sharma (32). In reply, Subrat S fought brilliantly with 82 off 67 balls, but Rourkela finished on 149/6 despite his heroic effort. Manjeet Singh claimed 2/22 for Jalandhar, while Subrat S was named Player of the Match for his outstanding knock. Meanwhile, NIT Hamirpur defeated NIT Calicut by 32 runs to advance to the semi-finals. Hamirpur were bowled out for 107 despite Manish scoring 34 and Aman Kumar adding 22. Dhanesh Rambeth starred for Calicut with an excellent five-wicket haul. However, Hamirpur's bowlers responded brilliantly as they dismissed Calicut for 75 in 17.1 overs. Manish completed a memorable all-round performance by taking 5/21, while Surender Soni supported him with 3/10 to seal a comprehensive victory. Earlier, the league stage concluded with several entertaining contests across different venues. MNIT Jaipur produced the highest total of the day, crushing NIT Delhi Faculty & Staff by 99 runs.After piling up 228/8, powered by Sundeep Kumar's 58 and Roop Narayan Sharma's explosive 44 off 18 balls, Jaipur bundled out Delhi for 129 despite Manoj Kumawat's fighting 69. Vijay Singh claimed 3/24 to lead the bowling attack. MANIT Bhopal defeated NIT Raipur by 24 runs after posting 140/8 in 18 overs. Hasthi Venkateswarlu impressed with both bat and ball, scoring 35 before returning figures of 3/20. Deepak Singh's 37 was not enough to prevent Raipur from finishing on 116/8. NIT Kurukshetra also registered a 17-run league victory over NIT Andhra Pradesh. Kamlesh Choudhary anchored the innings with a fluent 61 before making a useful contribution with the ball, while Rahul Sharma stole the show with a hat-trick, finishing with impressive figures of 3/13, as Andhra Pradesh were restricted to 126/8. NIT Agartala registered a five-wicket victory over NIT Manipur. Manipur posted 127/8, with Nabajit Sarkar scoring 37, while Amitesh Bardhan starred with the ball, taking 4/17. Agartala chased the target in 19.1 overs thanks to Dhirendra Kumar Pandey's composed 42. NIT Rourkela bounced back from their quarter-final disappointment with a convincing five-wicket league win over MNNIT Allahabad. Tanmaya Kumar Sahoo ripped through the batting order with sensational figures of 6/17 as Allahabad were restricted to just 73/9. Rourkela comfortably chased the target in 12.2 overs. VNIT Nagpur defeated NIT Nagaland by 11 runs in a closely fought encounter. Sourav Pradhan scored 33 as VNIT posted 159/9, while Dr. Ajit Rathod's disciplined spell of 2/28 proved decisive as Nagaland finished on 148/4 despite useful contributions from Bikash Sarma and Manoj Kumar Patel. SVNIT Surat secured a comfortable 23-run victory over NIT Sikkim after Vishal's all-round brilliance. Vishal scored 49 before claiming 2/22, while Dr. Jogender Singh bowled economically to restrict Sikkim to 136/6 in reply to Surat's 159/7. In another one-sided contest, NITK Surathkal hammered NIT Goa by ten wickets. After bowling Goa out for 106/8 through outstanding spells from Shailendra (4/18) and Santhosh (3/17), Surathkal chased the target in only 8.3 overs without losing a wicket, with Selva smashing an unbeaten 50 and Santhosh remaining not out on 30.
PM Modi fulfilled Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee's vision for J-K: Nitin Nabin
Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], July 6 : Bharatiya Janata Party National President Nitin Nabin on Monday said the ruling government had fulfilled Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee's dream of one Constitution, one leader and one symbol for the country through the abrogation of Article 370, asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had realised the Jana Sangh founder's vision for Jammu and Kashmir. Eminent nationalist thinker Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh on October 21, 1951, the ideological predecessor of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Nabin paid floral tributes to Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee along with Union Minister Jitendra Singh, Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Sat Sharma, BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh and other party leaders. Addressing a commemoration function on the 125th birth anniversary of Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee in Jammu, Nabin said the occasion symbolised the BJP's commitment to Mookerjee's ideals of national unity and integrity. Today is a special day for all BJP workers and for Jammu & Kashmir. Today is the birth anniversary of Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee. We remember his struggles, but it is the BJP that fulfilled the vision he had for Jammu & Kashmir, Nabin said. The dream that Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee envisioned was that there would be one constitution, one leader, and one symbol in the country. Today, our leader, PM Narendra Modi, has fulfilled that dream, he added. Nabin said Dr Mookerjee had dedicated his life to the unity of the country and that his vision for Jammu and Kashmir had been realised after years of struggle by BJP workers. Today's day holds special significance for every BJP worker and for Jammu and Kashmir. Today, we are celebrating the birth anniversary of our inspiration, Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Ji. He dedicated his all for the unity and integrity of the nation, he said. The dream he envisioned for Jammu and Kashmir was realised through the years of struggle by millions of BJP workers. Today, his birth anniversary is not merely a remembrance, but a symbol of our unwavering commitment to his ideals, resolve, and service to the nation, Nabin added. Recalling the situation in Jammu and Kashmir before 2014, Nabin alleged that previous governments opposed the hoisting of the national flag in Kashmir. When the Congress government was in power in Delhi, the then Jammu & Kashmir administration claimed that if the Indian national flag were hoisted there, peace would come to an end. But today, under PM Modi's leadership, the Indian national flag flies proudly at Lal Chowk in Kashmir, he said. He further said, To those who ask what has changed in Jammu and Kashmir, I want to tell them that earlier, people used to be afraid to hoist the tricolor at Lal Chowk in Kashmir; no one had the courage to do so. In 2014, when Shri Modi ji became the country's Prime Minister, that same Lal Chowk in Kashmir now remains adorned with the fluttering tricolour--this is the change that has come. Highlighting what he described as a transformation in the Union Territory, Nabin said, Before 2014, the youth of Kashmir were often associated with stone-pelting. Today, I feel proud when they win Ranji matches and bring honour to the whole of Jammu & Kashmir. This is the vision of PM Modi, who has consistently encouraged and promoted sports. Speaking to reporters after the event, Nabin said, Prime Minister Narendra Modi resolved to ensure a secure life for the people of this country. I believe the people of this country now have a Prime Minister who is deeply committed to their security and development. Consider the youth of Jammu and Kashmir: until recently, they were known as 'stone-pelters,' but today, they are recognised as Ranji Trophy champions. Nabin also credited the PM Modi government for the abrogation of Article 370. Modi ji has done the work of giving real freedom to the people here by removing Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir and has fulfilled the dream of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee ji, he said. He further claimed that under the Modi government's leadership, 250 million people of the country have risen above the poverty line, adding that Jammu and Kashmir was also progressing on the path of development. Nabin urged young people to take inspiration from Dr Mookerjee's life and contribute towards the development of Jammu and Kashmir. I had come to urge the youth to protect the soil of Jammu & Kashmir and fulfil the vision of Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee. Young people should learn from him and draw inspiration from the struggles he endured throughout his life, he said.

Article 370 abrogation brought real freedom to Jammu and Kashmir: BJP's Nitin Nabin
Jammu, July 6: Bharatiya Janata Party national president Nitin Nabin on Monday asserted that J&K people got their real freedom in 2019 when the Prime Minister Narendra Modi abrogated Article 370 and 35-A, realising the vision of Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee. Only the persons with blinkered vision are unable to see what has changed in J&K. Tricolour proudly flying high at Lal Chowk and everywhere else in J&K after Narendra Modi took over the reins of the country as the Prime Minister delineates the change in J&K. Prior to 2014, when Congress was at the helm of affairs at the Centre and was in coalition in J&K government, hoisting tricolour was not allowed on the pretext that it would disturb peace in Kashmir and would create law and order problem, he stated, while taking a direct dig at his partys bete-noire, Congress. Nitin Nabin was addressing Karyakarta Sammelan and public rally organised to commemorate the 125th birth anniversary of Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee at Majestic Grand, Mishriwala in Jammu outskirts as his first major engagement during his two-day visit to Jammu. This was his first visit to J&K after taking over as BJP national president in January this year. Referring to his earlier visit to J&K in 2011 when he was part of Rashtriya Ekta Yatra, helmed by BJP MP and the then president of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) Anurag Thakur, he said that the Congress government at the Centre and in J&K (in coalition) felt threatened and did not allow it (Yatra) to enter J&K. Nabin said, Even curfew was imposed to sabotage Yatra aimed at unfurling tricolour. As BJYM national general secretary, on January 22, 2011, I, along with two other office bearers, went to Kashmir and sought permission to unfurl tricolour at Lal Chowk. The permission was declined on the pretext that if the tricolour was unfurled, it would vitiate the atmosphere and disturb peace in Kashmir. When we were returning, we saw the Pakistan flag flying at Lal Chowk and the then government in New Delhi remained silent. It was not bothered at all. Had Congress been in power at the Centre, J&K youth would still have been identified as stone-pelters and not as Ranji (trophy) winners, he aimed another barb, while launching an offensive against Congress. The BJP president described July 6 as a very significant day for J&K as it marked the birth anniversary of Syama Prasad Mookerjee who laid down his life here for integrating it fully with the rest of the country with one flag and one constitution. He also recalled the struggle of Dr Mookerjee, former BJP president Dr Murli Manohar Joshi and Narendra Modi, before he became the Prime Minister, to see tricolour unfurling at Lal Chowk and every nook and corner of J&K. My heart swells with pride that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi realised this vision. It is further heartening to note that as we are observing 125th birth anniversary of Dr Mookerjee, the BJP flag is also flying high in West Bengal the birth-place of BJP ideologue (Dr Mookerjee), Nitin Nabin said. Earlier, the BJP national president, accompanied by BJP national general secretary and in-charge J&K affairs Tarun Chugh, was accorded a rousing reception on his arrival at Jammu airport on Monday afternoon. J&K BJP president Sat Sharma; Union Minister of State in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh; Leader of Opposition in J&K Legislative Assembly Sunil Sharma and MP Jugal Kishore Sharma along with other senior leaders of the party received him at the airport. On his way from airport to rally spot, enthusiastic BJP workers, with his posters and party flags, lined up at designated spots welcomed Nabin with bouquets and showering flower petals amid drum beats. Nitin Nabin too warmly reciprocated their greetings. Before addressing the rally, he, joined by all senior leaders of J&K BJP, lit the traditional lamp and paid floral tributes to Dr Mookerjees portrait. BJP MP Gulam Ali Khatana; former Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh; former J&K BJP president Ravinder Raina; J&K BJP senior vice president Sham Sharma besides others were also present on the occasion. During his visit, Nitin Nabin is scheduled to hold an office bearers meeting at BJP J&K Headquarters, Trikuta Nagar and also visit Shri Raghunath temple to pay obeisance there. On July 7, he will pay obeisance at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in Katra; interact with the party MPs and MLAs, former elected representatives and will have a stimulating interaction with the youth at Yuva Samvad in Convention Centre.

Drone Technology Can Bring Big Change to the Lives of Rural India, Farmers and Youth: Tarun Chugh
Drone technology has the potential to bring about a major transformation in the lives of rural India, farmers and the country's youth, said Shri Tarun Chugh, National General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), while addressing National Drone Summit 2026 as the Chief Guest. Tarun Chugh Addressing the gathering, Shri Tarun Chugh said that India today stands as a strong global power and that drones are no longer just a modern technology. They have become an effective tool for making agriculture more scientific, strengthening the rural economy and creating new opportunities for the country's youth. He emphasised that the true purpose of development will be fulfilled only when the benefits of modern technology reach every village. He said the use of drones in agriculture has the potential to transform farming through crop monitoring, precision spraying of fertilisers and pesticides and reducing operational costs. According to him, these advancements will improve agricultural productivity, enable better utilisation of resources and make farming more modern and profitable. Highlighting the role of India's youth, Shri Tarun Chugh said they are the country's greatest strength. He noted that skill development and specialised training in drone technology can create new opportunities for employment and self-employment for millions of young people. Technology, he said, becomes truly meaningful only when it empowers youth to become self-reliant and brings positive change to their lives. He further said that cooperation has been a strong foundation of India's development journey and that the time has come to integrate it with advanced technology. He said such efforts can help take modern technology to villages, empower farmers and create new economic opportunities at the grassroots. Speaking about the wider applications of drones, Shri Tarun Chugh said that their importance extends beyond agriculture into disaster management, healthcare, infrastructure, security, logistics and public services. He stressed that India should strengthen its global position by promoting innovation and skill development across these sectors. Concluding his address, Shri Tarun Chugh said that the partnership between technology and cooperation will play a vital role in realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. Referring to the summit's theme, " From Policy to Prosperity ," he said it is not merely the theme of the conference but a practical roadmap for New India's development, where ensuring that the benefits of modern technology reach the last person in society remains the highest priority. He congratulated Drone Tech Multi-State Cooperative Society Limited and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) for successfully organising the summit and expressed confidence that such initiatives would give a new direction to India's drone ecosystem, empower the country's youth and accelerate the development of rural India. National Drone Summit 2026 was organised as an initiative by Dr. Deep Sihag Sisai, Founder and Chairman of Drone Tech Multi-State Cooperative Society Limited, in collaboration with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) at The Leela Palace, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi.
