If everything needs statehood, why are we in government?: Sunil Sharma
Srinagar, Sep 19: Leader of Opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Sunil Sharma on Saturday questioned the Omar Abdullah-led government over what he described as its repeated use of statehood as a response to basic public grievances, asking why the government was in office if it lacked the authority to address routine issues. Addressing a public interaction programme in Srinagar, Sharma said people were approaching the government with problems related to water, electricity, roads, schools, hospitals and jobs but were repeatedly being told that the administration lacked the required powers. For every issue, whether small or big, the only answer that comes from the government and government machinery is that we have no powers, Sharma said. He said the elected government had completed two years but people were still facing frustration and confusion. The popular government has completed two years, and throughout these two years, we have brought the poor people to a position of frustration and confusion, he said. Sharma said the Opposition had a responsibility to engage with people when the government failed to address their concerns. He said his party's legislative group would take up issues raised by people in the upcoming Assembly session and also pursue matters requiring intervention from the Centre. He, however, questioned the government's explanation that several problems could not be addressed because Jammu and Kashmir had not yet regained statehood. Where pipes had to be connected, where poles and wires were required, where schools needed staff, where hospitals needed doctors and paramedics, where potholes on roads had to be filled, for every issue the same answer was received statehood is not there, he said. Sharma then questioned the purpose of the elected government and the Assembly if statehood was being cited as the answer to basic administrative problems. If at the end of two years we say that we need statehood even to install poles, wires and pipes, and we need statehood even to provide staff, then why are we in government? Why are we in the Assembly? he asked. He went further and said the government should consider dissolving the present arrangement rather than continue for the full five-year term if it believed it could not function without statehood. If after two years we still have the same answer, I feel that after five years the same answer will be repeated, Sharma said. He said unemployment, particularly among young people, would be among the major issues for the Opposition during the upcoming Assembly session. Referring to data presented during the interaction, he said people aged between 19 and 29 accounted for more than 32% of Jammu and Kashmir's population. This section is the largest in Jammu and Kashmir's population and is currently under stress and depression, Sharma said, arguing that many young people had no income to support their parents, pay for siblings' education or meet family responsibilities. He also criticised the government's approach to recruitment and outsourcing, claiming that 25,000 jobs had already been occupied through outsourcing. You have occupied 25,000 jobs. I say this with a guarantee that these 25,000 will not be advertised again, he said. Sharma said outsourced employees could themselves begin demanding regularisation in the future, adding that workers from different government schemes and departments were already seeking regularisation. He also accused the government of trying to play the role of the Opposition while retaining the privileges of being in power. The unfortunate thing is that the people sitting in government also want to do the work of the Opposition, Sharma said. The government also wants to remain in the Opposition, but wants to enjoy all the power. On the upcoming Assembly session, Sharma said there were numerous issues to be raised but questioned the limited number of sitting days. He also contrasted the government's claim that Jammu and Kashmir had more Assembly sittings, on average, than some other states, with the region's specific problems. Jammu and Kashmir's issues are different. There are so many issues here on a single platform. So a response like this makes a person ask: where should we go, whom should we speak to? he said. Sharma also defended the Opposition's public outreach programme, saying it was intended to hear people's grievances and take them to the appropriate forums. On statehood, he said the issue should not be used as a blanket explanation for administrative shortcomings. I am raising the slogan of statehood only to strengthen my vote bank, he said, while adding that statehood was not preventing the government from dealing with most of the issues being raised by people. Sharma's remarks came ahead of the upcoming Assembly session, with the BJP seeking to focus attention on unemployment, recruitment, public services and what it describes as the government's failure to address people's day-to-day grievances.

Policy choices behind Bangladeshs severe gas, power shortages: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 19 (IANS) Bangladesh is facing recurring shortages of gas and electricity despite decades of investment, as experts blame policy choices that prioritised foreign investment over building national capacity, a new report has said. Economist and energy activist Anu Muhammad told Bangladesh-based The Daily Star that poor policy and vested interests rooted in laxity has left Bangladesh dependent on costly imported LNG, exposed to global price swings and vulnerable to technical failures at terminals. There is no gas day after day along with four to five hours of load-shedding every day, Muhammad said, adding that, I have never seen a situation where both gas and electricity were in such short supply at the same time. Muhammad said the crisis has roots in policy shifts from the 1990s that opened the energy sector to private players under productionsharing contracts, leaving national institutions underdeveloped. The policies were broadly shaped by a neoliberal approach, with the World Bank, IMF, ADB and JICA playing important roles in shaping the policies and ideas behind it. The poor approach was based on judging investment mainly by its potential for profit. He slammed a 2009 deal made by Sheikh Hasina government with ConocoPhillips as unfavourable to Bangladesh and said promised offshore production never materialised after parts of the work were subcontracted abroad to a Chinese company. He also criticised the 2010 Power Sector Master Plan prepared by JICA, saying no Bangladeshi experts were on the committee and that the plan steered the country toward LNG imports, coalfired plants and nuclear power. Renewable energy remained marginal, with no focus on building national capability. the government built LNG terminals with the US and other foreign companies, expanded LPG use, added coal-fired power plants and began work on the nuclear plant. It borrowed heavily to finance these projects, the report cited the expert. He also mentioned long-term consequences of making imported LNG a major part of Bangladeshs energy mix. The cost is extremely high compared to our own gas; it costs nearly 60 times as much for the same amount of gas as our own gas exploration, Muhammad said. He also flagged that LNG infrastructure creates environmental problems, while LNG leaves Bangladesh exposed to fluctuations in global energy prices.

Millions are without power as Cuba is hit by latest major blackout
[EPA/Shutterstock] Millions in Cuba were left without power on Friday as the country was plunged into yet another major blackout. The country's entire electricity grid suffered total disconnection that triggered a nationwide outage, Cuba's energy ministry said. Power was restored to some priority areas by late evening, including those near hospitals and water pumping stations in the capital Havana, grid operator UNE said. It is at least the sixth partial or total blackout to hit Cuba this year, where ageing electricity infrastructure and chronic fuel shortages have been placed under further strain by a US blockade on oil shipments to the communist-run nation. UNE said the outage started just before 14:00 local time on Friday (18:00 GMT) due to a transmission fault coupled with poor weather conditions in central Cuba. Protocols to begin the gradual restoration of power were activated, the operator's national load dispatch director Felix Estrada said, with the process ongoing on Saturday. Cuba relies heavily on fuel imports, meaning tight US sanctions and an oil blockade since the start of the year have exacerbated existing shortages. Food and medicine have also become more scarce, with hospitals struggling to function normally and schools and government offices having to close. Lately, it's becoming a habit, Havana resident Frank Lorenzo told news agency Reuters on Friday. Before it happened less frequently - once a month just yesterday we were 24 hours without electricity, they turned it on for just an hour and it went down again. It's one thing after another: no water, no gas for cooking, no electricity, 36-year-old schoolteacher Lidia Fernandez told news agency AFP. Honestly, I don't know how we haven't gone crazy. Francisco Rodriguez, 78, said his home had already gone without power for 28 hours on Friday and feared he would not have light for several days. The repeated blackouts have prompted rare protests in Cuba, where unauthorised demonstrations are illegal and those who defy the ban risk being jailed. Havana has blamed its fuel crisis on the Trump administration and denounced all of its sanctions - including a new round announced in August - which are part of a wider pressure campaign against the Caribbean island's leadership. Cuba's regional ally Venezuela was believed to have sent it around 35,000 barrels of oil a day - about half of its oil needs - until Venezuela's own supplies were cut off following the US seizure of its President Nicols Maduro in January. US President Donald Trump has threatened tariffs on countries shipping oil to Havana, and a number of such shipments have been seized by the US. Washington meanwhile attributes Cuba's energy crisis to poor internal management and has accused it of posing a national security threat. Trump has openly discussed toppling its leadership, including threatening a friendly takeover in March this year. Trump is putting pressure on Cuba - why and to what end?

India's credibility as an independent global power strengthens after BRICS Summit
Digital Desk | Athens, Sep 19 (IANS) By unequivocally condemning the 2025 Pahalgam terrorist attack and adopting a firm stance against the cross-border movement of terrorists, terror financing, safe havens and double standards in addressing terrorism, BRICS has reinforced an argument India has made before the world for decades, a report has mentioned. The position outlined in the New Delhi Declaration adopted during the recent 18th BRICS Summit hosted by India underscored that terrorism cannot be legitimised through political explanations, nor can countries selectively distinguish between terrorists based on strategic convenience, Athens-based Directus stated. Pakistan has not been expressly named. That fact should neither be concealed nor exaggerated. Yet the political significance of the declaration lies precisely in the terminology accepted by a diverse group of important nations. For India, the development represents an important diplomatic achievement, the report noted. Highlighting that the development presents an increasingly uncomfortable question for Pakistan, it asked how long the international narrative on cross-border terrorism could remain detached from the infrastructure, organisations and ideological networks that India has repeatedly accused of operating from Pakistani territory. The report stated that the brutal Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, carried out by a Pakistan-based terrorist group that killed 26 innocent civilians, was not allowed to be buried among the countless terrorist attacks India has suffered. India made it an international diplomatic issue. The BRICS declarations condemnation of the attack in the strongest terms gives the tragedy an important multilateral dimension. More significantly, the condemnation comes alongside language dealing with cross-border terrorism, financing and safe havens. That combination matters. India has consistently maintained that terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir cannot be viewed merely through the prism of a political dispute, Directus mentioned. Terrorists require weapons, training, finance, communications, recruitment networks and places from which to operate. Fighting terrorism therefore requires action not merely against the individual who pulls the trigger but against the entire ecosystem that enables him. That principle has now received significant endorsement within BRICS, it added. The declaration, the report noted, also reflected the strength of Prime Minister Narendra Modis multidirectional foreign policy, with India engaging at the same time with countries that frequently disagree with one another. It participates in the Quad while remaining one of the principal members of BRICS. It maintains its historic relationship with Russia while building an increasingly consequential partnership with the United States. It has dramatically expanded its engagement with the Gulf countries while maintaining close relations with Israel. At the same time, despite big differences with China, India continues engaging Beijing wherever national interests require it, the report in Directus highlighted. According to the report, while Indias strategic autonomy has sometimes been criticised as difficult to balance, BRICS demonstrated its utility. India has managed to place its core security concerns before a grouping containing countries with dramatically different geopolitical interests and secure a meaningful consensus. That strengthens Indias credibility as an independent global power rather than an appendage of any geopolitical bloc, it stated.

CJI calls for balance between environmental protection and development
The question before Indian courts is no longer conservation versus development but how the two can be harmonised and sustained together, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said on Saturday and described the apex court as the anyan tree of environmental justice. Tracing four decades of the Supreme Court's environmental jurisprudence, the CJI said there was no single constitutional route to environmental protection and cautioned against copy-paste decisions. Recently, he said, the apex court has articulated the idea of eco-centric proportionality, postulating that environmental protection must be rigorous yet intelligent enough to engage with the world as it exists. This notion has advanced a paradigm shift by permitting development solely in conjunction with enforceable conditions, expert oversight, restoration, compensatory afforestation and accountability, the CJI said. The CJI was addressing the inaugural session of a two-day international conference on the topic 'The Futur
