BJP suspends 9 functionaries over derogatory slogans during Anantnag rally
Amid outrage over defamatory slogans by BJP leaders and workers, the party has suspended the primary membership of nine of its functionaries in Anantnag and removed them from all organisational posts. However, no action has been taken against former MLC and senior BJP leader Sofi Yousuf. Sofi was leading the Tiranga rally in south Kashmir on August 5, in which the BJP leaders and workers used derogatory slogans targeting Kashmiri women. In an office order issued by BJP Anantnag district president Rakesh Koul, the party said the rally was organised at Housing Colony Khanabal without the requisite permission from the district administration or authorisation from the BJP district unit. The party also took serious note of the slogans raised during the procession, describing them as contrary to its values, organisational discipline and principles. Following consultations with senior party functionaries, including BJP General Secretary (Organisation) Ashok Koul, State General Secretary (Organisation) Lal Mutha, State spokesperson and district in-charge Altaf Thakur and district president Rakesh Koul, the party ordered disciplinary proceedings against those found responsible. The nine functionaries facing action are Nisar Ahmad Bhat of Wangam, Shangus; Khursheed Ahmad Sofi of Hassanpora, Bijbehara; Aabida Rafiq of Achabal; Irshad Ahmad Malik of Gopalpora, Mattan; Mohammad Maqbool Ganie of Achabal; Waheed Ahmad Itoo of Hassannoor, Ashmuqam; Nisar Ahmad Hakeem of Dehwatoo, Pahalgam; Feroz Ahmad Hajam of Kherchi, Larnoo; and Sabroza Akhtar of Tajiwara, Anantnag. The order said their removal from party posts and suspension of primary membership would remain effective immediately, pending completion of the inquiry. The BJP also clarified that Alveer Ahmad Dar of Batengoo, Anantnag, and Fancy Akhter of Hangulund, Kokernag, were not associated with the BJP District Unit Anantnag in any capacity and did not hold any organisational position in the party. The controversy erupted after a video of the procession circulated widely, with participants allegedly raising slogans referring to popular Kashmiri names Aazi and Fazi. The slogans were criticised for allegedly mocking the dignity and honour of Kashmiri women, triggering public outrage and political condemnation. On August 6, BJP spokesperson Altaf Thakur said the remarks made by some individuals could not be attributed to the party as an organisation and asserted that the BJP did not endorse defamatory or derogatory comments against anyone. The party has always upheld the dignity and honour of women, Thakur said, pointing to the BJPs support for womens political participation and the 33 per cent reservation for women as evidence of its commitment to womens empowerment. He said the partys policies and public conduct were guided by respect, democracy and constitutional values, adding that action would be taken against those responsible for the controversial slogans. The BJPs subsequent disciplinary order has now formally followed up on that assurance, with the party initiating action against its own functionaries and ordering an inquiry into their alleged role in the rally. The controversy also drew sharp criticism from the ruling National Conference, which rejected the BJPs clarification as inadequate. NC leader and legislator Tanvir Sadiq said the slogans were not merely directed at individuals but amounted to an insult to Kashmiri society and its cultural identity. Aazi and Fazi are not just names; they are our mothers, our sisters, our identity, Sadiq said, demanding a public apology from BJP leader and Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma. The episode has added a political controversy to the already charged atmosphere surrounding August 5, which marked the seventh anniversary of the Centres 2019 decision to abrogate Article 370 and reorganise the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories. While the BJP observed the anniversary as a celebration of what it calls the full integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the Union, opposition parties continued to oppose the 2019 decisions and raise demands including restoration of statehood.
Apni Party has a vision and will ensure J&Ks lost rights, dignity is restored: Altaf Bukhari
Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday said that Apni Party is coming forward with a new vision and strategy to ensure that Jammu & Kashmirs lost dignity, status, and respect are restored, and that a brighter, more prosperous, and dignified future for its youth is secured. He made these remarks today while addressing a workers convention in Hajin Sonawari in Bandipora district. The event, which was attended by a large number of peoplemen and women, young and oldwas organised by the partys in-charge for the Sonawari constituency, Imtiyaz Paray. The partys Senior Vice President, Ghulam Hassan Mir, Provincial President for Kashmir, Mohammad Ashraf Mir, and several other leaders also addressed the convention. Addressing the gathering, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said that he feels pained to see the helplessness of people, especially the youth in Jammu and Kashmir. He said, I wonder how long our people will have to suffer. How long will FIRs continue to be registered against our youth, and how long will they be repeatedly summoned to police stations? On the one hand, our youth are living under a sense of insecurity; on the other, they are grappling with the lack of livelihood opportunities and rising unemployment. Our youth deserve a life of dignity, security, and hope for the future. Taking a dig at the National Conference for making people suffer by repeatedly changing its political positions and slogans over the past seven decades, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said, In 1947, the National Conference leadership took a decision and was rewarded with power. But just six years later, when that power was taken away, the same leadership backtracked from his own earlier decision. Then, another 22 years later, in 1975, it made yet another U-turn. For decades, this changing politics and constant political wandering came at a heavy cost to the people. They were left to suffer while the party kept changing its positions and slogans according to the political situation. But the story did not end there. Even after 1975, the NC continued to raise different slogans, at one time demanding autonomy and at another time taking a different position. At the same time, it did not hesitate to support New Delhi in gradually weakening Article 370, which had provided Jammu and Kashmir with special constitutional status, he added. He also lashed out at the PDP, saying that another family-based party later came up with a different slogan, calling it Self-Rule. He said that over the years, these family-based parties built political empires for themselves and enjoyed power, while the people were left to suffer. How long will the people continue to suffer? he asked. Speaking about the Apni Partys vision, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said, We want to give solace to the people and help them come out of this miserable situation. People are made to suffer every now and then, and this must end. Apni Party is coming forward with a new vision and strategy to restore Jammu and Kashmirs lost dignity, status and respect, and to secure a brighter, more prosperous and dignified future for its youth. Talking about the 2024 Assembly elections, he said, Apni Party could not make it in these elections because, unlike other parties, we did not lie to the people. Our politics is rooted in truthfulness and integrity. Despite the fact that August 5, 2019, will remain a black day for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and despite the wounds inflicted on us by New Delhi, we have maintained that the solutions to our problems will also come from New Delhi and not from anywhere else. We will continue to say this. He said that traditional political parties have always misled the youth with deceptive slogans and continue to push them towards the same path that brought misery and bloodshed in the past, simply because such politics serves their political interests and yields electoral dividends. Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari explained how and why the Apni Party was established. He said that after the events of August 5, 2019, when the entire J&K was under continuous lockdown, thousands of people were detained in jails, and traditional political parties chose to remain silent during those challenging times, we, like-minded leaders, decided to come forward and stand by our people. At that time, people were frustrated and deeply distressed, especially as their children were being arrested. Orchardists were equally worried because their fruit-laden trucks were not being allowed to move on the highways, and their produce had started to rot. We stepped forward, spoke to the Government of India, and worked to secure relief for the people. As a result, fruit-laden trucks were allowed to move towards mandis outside J&K, more than 3,000 youth were released from jails, and we also worked to ensure that the people of J&K retained their exclusive rights over land and jobs, he said. He further said that traditional political parties chose to remain silent at that time, just as they have recently chosen to remain silent after the violent incidents in south Kashmir, when thousands of people were called to police stations and detained. These parties have once again chosen to remain silent on the issue, he said. On the occasion, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari also highlighted the local issues faced by people in Hajin and the adjoining areas. He urged the administration to take concrete measures to improve basic public infrastructure. He said it was unfortunate that people were still being denied basic amenities such as a reliable water supply and uninterrupted electricity, while hospitals continued to lack adequate infrastructure and the required professional manpower. He said that once the Apni Party comes to power, it will ensure that the residency requirement for obtaining a domicile is increased from the existing 15 years to 50 years. He also said that the Apni Party will ensure that local people who have traditionally earned their livelihood through the manual extraction of minerals from rivers are given this right back, instead of allowing outsiders to extract minerals worth millions of rupees from these rivers. Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari reiterated his appeal to the Prime Minister and the Home Minister of the country to fulfil their promise of engaging with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the youth, in a meaningful dialogue to understand and address their issues and concerns. He said, The people of Jammu and Kashmir deserve the same constitutional rights as people in any other part of the country. It is imperative for the Honble Prime Minister and the Honble Home Minister to fulfil their promise of engaging with the people, especially the youth, through a meaningful dialogue aimed at understanding their genuine concerns and finding ways to address them. Speaking on the occasion, Ghulam Hassan Mir lashed out at the government for its failure to address the growing unemployment crisis in Jammu and Kashmir. He said, Two years have passed since they took over the government. Can they point to a single project or any concrete initiative undertaken by this government to create employment opportunities for our youth? They sought peoples votes by making a number of promises, including a commitment to provide jobs to unemployed youth, but they have miserably failed to deliver on those promises. I want to tell this government that it has miserably failed on every front to provide effective governance. The ruling party misled the people with false promises during the 2024 election campaign. Now, it should be prepared for the consequences. The very youth who trusted you and gave you their mandate, believing that you would fulfil your promises, will hold you accountable and vote you out of power. Mir also accused the government of depriving people of their democratic right to choose their representatives at the grassroots level by delaying the ULB and Panchayat elections. He said that by failing to hold these elections, the government was effectively disempowering people and denying them their right to participate in local democratic governance. He appealed to the people to free themselves from traditional political parties like the NC, which have been exploiting them for decades. Addressing the gathering Mohammad Ashraf Mir said that those who have remained at the helm of affairs for years and decades have failed to fulfil their responsibilities towards Jammu and Kashmir and its people. Had they been sincere and genuinely committed leaders, the people of J&K would not have been facing the situation we are grappling with today. Besides Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, Ghulam Hassan Mir and Mohammad Ashraf Mir, the prominent party leaders who were present on the occasion included District President Ganderbal Javaid Mir, State Secretary Irshad Wani, Senior Vice District President Bandipora Ghulam Mohammad Mir, District Vice President Bandipora Abdul Raheem, Joint Secretary Bandipora Mir Muzaffar, Youth District President Bandipora Shiraz Wani, Senior Leader Bandipora Constituency Naseer Ahmad Mir, Party Leader and Former Chairman Municipal Committee Bandipora Bashrat Najar, Zonal President Sonawari Habibullah Sheikh, Block President Ajas Manzoor Ahmad, Block President Hajin Ghulam Mohammad Dar, Block President Nowgam Sajad Ahmad Dar, Block President Ganistan Muzaffar Ahmad, Block President Naidkhai Abdul Qayoom, Vice Block President Hajan Farooq Ahmad Dar, Former DDC Hajin (B) Nazia Begum, Former DDC Hajin (C) Farzil Ahmad Dar, Former BDC Nahidkah Ghulam Nabi Ganaie, Former Vice Chairman MC Hajin Waseem Yusuf Paray, Block President Youth Ajas Mohammad Iqbal, Block President Youth Sumbal Ishfaq Ahmad, Dice In-charge Sarfaraz Ahmad Paray, Nasir Ahmad Mir, office In-charge Sonwari Fayaz Ahmad, and others.
High-density apple orchards transform Ganderbal's horticulture landscape
Ganderbal, Aug 7:Across the sprawling plains and gentle slopes of Ganderbal district, a quiet horticulture revolution is reshaping the landscape. The traditional agricultural landscape of the Ganderbal district is witnessing a shift towards modern horticulture, with an increasing number of farmers adopting high-density apple cultivation to improve their livelihoods. For generations, apple farming here meant sprawling traditional trees requiring seven to eight years to bear fruit, massive canopy maintenance, and labor-intensive harvesting. Today, neatly aligned, trellised rows of dwarf apple trees are taking over, promising higher yields, quicker returns, and a modernised future for local horticulture. Locals said that in certain Ganderbal areas, orchards are now home to advanced high-density apple varieties, reflecting a gradual transition from conventional farming to commercial fruit cultivation. The change has been supported by government initiatives and technical assistance from the Department of Horticulture. For generations, local growers relied on traditional apple varieties such as Delicious, Kulu Delicious, and Maharaji, which typically require 5-7 years to bear commercial fruit. In contrast, high-density dwarf and semi-dwarf rootstocks begin bearing fruit in their second year and reach full yield capacity by the fourth or fifth year, Adil Ahmad, a fruit grower said. Growers say beyond sheer volume, the modern farming technique delivers superior quality fruit. Uniform exposure to sunlight, controlled drip fertigation, and anti-hail nets result in high-grade apples characterised by consistent colour, crisp texture, and larger size. Varieties like Gala Red, Red Velox, and King Roat are fetching premium prices in major fruit markets across different parts of the country. With traditional trees, pesticide sprays, and pruning required intensive manual labour, and half the crop was prone to damage during unpredictable weather, said Ghulam Hassan, a grower in Wakura, Ganderbal. The high-density trees are manageable from the ground, use significantly less water, and yield Grade-A fruit that sells almost immediately. The Jammu and Kashmir Horticulture Department, alongside initiatives like the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH), has played a vital role in accelerating adoption. Horticulture Department officials note that Ganderbal'sfavourable soil conditions and well-connected river network make it ideally suited for high-density farming. As cold-storage facilities and sorting-grading units will expand across the district, Ganderbal is positioning itself as a central hub for high-yield, modern fruit production in Kashmir.
Altaf Bukhari unveils Apni Party's 'new vision' for J&K
Srinagar, Aug 7: Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday said the party was coming forward with a ew vision and strategy to restore Jammu and Kashmir's dignity and secure a better future for its youth, while launching a sharp attack on the National Conference (NC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over their political record. Addressing a workers' convention in Hajin, Sonawari, in Bandipora district, Bukhari said the people of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the youth, continue to face insecurity, unemployment and a lack of opportunities. I wonder how long our people will have to suffer. Our youth deserve a life of dignity, security and hope for the future, he said. Bukhari accused the NC of repeatedly changing its political positions over the decades and alleged that such shifts had come at the cost of the people. He also criticised the PDP, alleging that family-based parties had pursued slogans for political gains while failing to address public concerns. Presenting the Apni Party's political roadmap, Bukhari said the party was committed to restoring Jammu and Kashmir's lost dignity, status and respect and ensuring a more prosperous future for the youth. Referring to the developments of August 5, 2019, he described the day as a lack day for the people of Jammu and Kashmir but maintained that solutions to the region's issues would come through engagement with New Delhi. He said the party would continue to urge the Centre to initiate a meaningful dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the youth, to understand and address their concerns. Bukhari also highlighted civic issues in Hajin and adjoining areas, calling for improvements in drinking water supply, electricity and healthcare infrastructure. He said the Apni Party, if voted to power, would seek to increase the domicile eligibility requirement from 15 years to 50 years and restore the rights of local communities engaged in traditional riverbed mineral extraction. Speaking on the occasion, Apni Party Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir criticised the government over rising unemployment, alleging that it had failed to fulfil its election promises or create meaningful job opportunities for youth. He also accused the government of delaying Urban Local Body and Panchayat elections, saying the move had deprived people of grassroots democratic representation. Provincial President Mohammad Ashraf Mir also addressed the convention, alleging that successive governments had failed to fulfil their responsibilities towards the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Why Kashmiri artist Azim Hassan paints home, memory and loss from China
From his studio in China, Azim Hassan paints Kashmirs changing landscapes, fading traditions and the emotional echoes of conflict
Star Cast: Siddharth, Jimmy Shergill, Abhay Verma, Mihir Ahuja, Taaruk Raina Director: Oni Sen Synopsis: OPERATION SAFED SAGAR is a stirring tale of courage, sacrifice and extraordinary valour. The story is set in 1999, when Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee (Aanjjan Srivastav) travels to Lahore aboard the newly inaugurated bus service, hoping to usher in a new era of peace between India and Pakistan. However, unbeknownst to him, and even to Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif (Vinay Pathak), Pakistans Chief of Army Staff, General Pervez Musharraf (Manu Rishi Chaddha), is secretly orchestrating a sinister military operation in Kashmir. During the harsh winter months, troops from both countries would traditionally vacate several posts located at extreme altitudes in the Himalayas. Taking advantage of this arrangement, Musharraf orders a large number of Pakistani soldiers, disguised as mujahideen, to infiltrate and occupy strategically vital positions on the Indian side of the Line of Control. By the time the Indian Defence forces discover the infiltration, the enemy has already established itself across several fortified mountaintop positions. The Pakistani forces enjoy a formidable advantage: they are stationed at higher altitudes and can easily target Indian soldiers attempting the treacherous climb. Faced with an unprecedented challenge, the Indian Army seeks assistance from the Indian Air Force. The Golden Arrows squadron, stationed at Air Force Station Bathinda, is summoned for the mission. Initially, its pilots are tasked with conducting dangerous sorties and capturing photographs that can help the Army pinpoint the exact locations of the infiltrators. The risks are enormous, but Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja (Siddharth), Wing Commander B S Dhanoa aka Tony (Jimmy Shergill) and the Commanding Officer of the Golden Arrows rise to the occasion. They are ably supported by their young officers Flying Officer C H Bal Reddy aka Baldy (Mihir Ahuja), Flight Lieutenant Jitendra Sangwan aka Sangy (Taaruk Raina), Flying Officer R S Dhaliwal aka Dhali (Abhay Verma), Flying Officer Amit Gupta aka Goofy (Arnav Bhasin) and others. How these brave pilots overcome impossible odds and play a decisive role in the Kargil War forms the crux of the series. Operation Safed Sagar Story Review: Sandeep Jain, Nikhil Ravi, Barun Kashyap and Abhijeet Singh Parmar's story is fantastic. Moreover, it focuses on the lesser-known aspects of the 1999 Kargil war. Sandeep Jain, Nikhil Ravi, Barun Kashyap and Abhijeet Singh Parmar's screenplay is captivating and despite the long length, it completely keeps viewers gripped to the goings-on. However, in a few places, the writing could have been tighter. Abhijeet Singh Parmar, Nikhil Ravi and Sandeep Jain's dialogues (additional dialogues by Irshad Kamil and Barun Kashyap) are simple and sharp, depending on the situation. Oni Sens direction is superb. He had a considerable challenge at hand, as several films and shows have explored the Kargil War in the past. Moreover, aerial-action films such as FIGHTER [2024], SKY FORCE [2025] and TOP GUN: MAVERICK [2022] are still fresh in viewers minds. Yet, OPERATION SAFED SAGAR succeeds in carving out an identity of its own. To begin with, no film or series has highlighted the Indian Air Forces contribution to the 1999 Kargil War in detail. Viewers will be amazed to learn that the pilots were required to accomplish something that had never been attempted before in the history of aerial warfare. Hence, they'll be left with an immense sense of pride. However, OPERATION SAFED SAGAR doesnt just focus on the adventures of the Air Force. Running parallel is a fascinating track exploring the strained relationship between General Pervez Musharraf and Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. In fact, this portion arguably leaves an even greater impact. The manner in which Musharraf keeps the Pakistani cabinet in the dark and sets the conflict in motion is shocking. The realization that these events are based on actual incidents is certain to leave viewers astonished. The series also arrives at an opportune time, as DHURANDHAR has heightened the audiences curiosity about Pakistans political and military establishment. Consequently, the Musharraf portions in OPERATION SAFED SAGAR have the potential to become a major talking point on social media. On the flipside, the series is a bit lengthy, and some of the initial portions fail to make the desired impact. Baldys personal struggle, too, is not entirely convincing. Moreover, a series of this scale and patriotic fervour deserved a stronger soundtrack. At least one song should have had a rousing, anthem-like quality that could have elevated the emotional impact. Operation Safed Sagar Performances: Siddharth plays the lead part with aplomb. Surprisingly, he has less screen time, but he makes up for it with his exceptional performance. Jimmy Shergill delivers a performance that is restrained yet packs a punch. Abhay Verma is seen in a new avatar and performance-wise, hes first rate. Mihir Ahuja comes next and leaves a mark. Taaruk Raina and Arnav Bhasin dont get much scope, but they do well nevertheless. Manu Rishi Chaddha is the scene-stealer. His resemblance to Pervez Musharraf is uncanny and he does full justice to his part. Vinay Pathak, too, puts his best foot forward. Aanjjan Srivastav does a fine job, while ensuring the character doesnt come across as a caricature. Adil Hussain (Air Marshal Vinod Patney) lends able support. From the Pakistani establishment side, Mohan Kapur (Lt Gen Aziz Khan) leaves the maximum mark, followed by S M Zaheer (Muhammad Sharif; Nawaz Sharif's father), Lalit Parimoo (Sartaj Aziz; Pakistan Foreign Minister) and Danish Hussain (Maj Gen Javed Hassan). Barun Sobti (Colonel Sartaj Singh), Mahesh Manjrekar (Air Chief Marshal Raghavan Deshmukh), Meiyang Chang (Xu) and Sanjay Suri (Wing commander Sandeep Chhabra aka Sandy) appear in cameos and do a great job. Finally, speaking about the actresses, Amrita Bagchi (Alka; Ajay Ahuja's wife) leaves a tremendous mark. Shell surely be seen in a new light after this show. Prajakta Koli (Madhavi) makes her presence felt. Dia Mirza (Kamal) is lovely and one wishes she had more to do in the show. Operation Safed Sagar music and other technical aspects: Anurag Saikia's music doesnt entice. The songs 'Aazma Le', 'Dilwaale Dilsaaz Parinde' and 'Woh Aaega' are not of chartbuster variety. Anurag Saikia's background score is much better and enhances the impact. Setu's cinematography is breathtaking. Amritpal Singh and Stefan Richter's action adds to the excitement. Atomic Arts, Knack Studios, Labyrinth Cinematic Solutions Pvt Ltd, Phantom FX, yFX Studios, Zebufx and MergeXR's VFX is of superior quality. The aerial aggression scenes seem completely authentic and match global standards. Uma Biju and Biju Antony's costumes and Meghna Gandhi's production design are classy. Micky Sharma's editing could have been sharper. Operation Safed Sagar Review Conclusion: On the whole, OPERATION SAFED SAGAR is a gripping and well-made series that brings an important chapter of the 1999 Kargil War to the screen and leaves viewers with an overwhelming sense of pride. While the Indian Air Force portions are exciting, the Pervez Musharraf-Nawaz Sharif track adds an unexpected and fascinating layer to the narrative. It is certain to spark conversations and become a major talking point in the days to come. Recommended! Rating - 4 stars

Two separate incidents leave eight injured in Ganderbal
Ganderbal, July 31: Eight persons were injured in two separate incidents, including a gas cylinder leakage and a road accident, in central Kashmir's Ganderbal district on Friday. All the injured were initially treated at Sub-District Hospital (SDH) Kangan before being referred to SKIMS Soura for specialized treatment. In the first incident, three persons sustained burn injuries after a gas cylinder reportedly leaked inside a private hut at Surfraw Gund. The injured were identified as Abdul Hameed Wani (37), son of Ghulam Nabi Wani; Manzoor Ahmad Ganie (40), son of Ghulam Nabi; and Shahriyar Majeed (40), son of Abdul Majeed, all residents of Wakura in Ganderbal.
