NC cant claim monopoly over Kashmirs history: Thakur
Srinagar, Sep 11: Senior BJP leader and party J&K spokesperson Altaf Thakur on Friday accused the National Conference (NC) of selectively interpreting Kashmirs political history while ignoring what he described as its record of political suppression and intolerance towards dissent. Reacting to recent remarks by NC chief spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq, Thakur said the NC could not portray itself solely as a victim of Kashmirs political developments. NCs history is not a story of victimhood alone. It also has chapters of political suppression, intolerance towards dissent and the marginalisation of rival voices, Thakur said. He said Kashmirs political history needed to be examined through historical records and contemporary accounts rather than political narratives. Referring to Walter Lawrences The Valley of Kashmir, Thakur cited observations regarding the material conditions of Kashmiri villagers and said historical accounts should be considered in their entirety. Thakur also referred to the transformation of the Muslim Conference into the National Conference under Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, describing it as a significant turning point in Kashmirs political history. He questioned how political space for those who disagreed with Abdullah subsequently narrowed. He cited Mirwaiz Yousuf Shah as an important political and religious voice outside Abdullahs camp and said Kashmirs history could not be understood by focusing on one political stream alone. Thakur also raised questions about the role of Halqa-e-Khawateen, alleging that sections of the organisation were involved in intimidating and publicly humiliating political opponents during the late 1940s and early 1950s. He accused the NC leadership of presenting a selective version of Kashmirs past while overlooking the experiences of political opponents. Tanvir Sadiq and his political masters cannot pick convenient pages from history and discard the rest, Thakur said. He called on the younger generation to study original historical records and said political parties should be open to scrutiny of both their achievements and controversial chapters. Kashmirs history belongs to its people, not to any political family, Thakur said, adding that the BJP would continue to challenge what he termed the NCs selective history.
Apni Party to launch Srinagar public outreach
Srinagar, Sep 11: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday chaired a meeting of party leaders and workers from across Srinagar city to discuss public grievances and developmental issues confronting residents. During the meeting, participants raised concerns over the citys infrastructure and developmental deficit, unemployment and the lack of adequate livelihood opportunities for youth. They said Srinagars youth face limited employment opportunities, pointing out that most residents do not fall under any reservation category except Economically Weaker Section (EWS), whose quota they alleged has also been reduced by the present government. The meeting also discussed issues faced by artisans, with participants alleging that adequate measures have not been taken to support and promote the community. Concerns were also raised over cabs and taxis from outside Jammu and Kashmir operating in Srinagar. Participants said this was affecting local drivers and youth who had purchased vehicles through bank loans. The participants further highlighted the lack of modern infrastructure to attract tourists and boost the local economy, besides shortages of basic amenities, including power and water supply, in several areas. They alleged that despite two years of the present government, effective measures have not been taken to address Srinagars pressing issues. Following deliberations, the party decided to organise a series of public conventions across Srinagar to provide residents a platform to directly raise their concerns and seek government intervention. The first convention will be held at Chinar Colony, Parray Pora, on September 20, followed by another at Natipora-Rambagh on September 27. Similar conventions will subsequently be organised in other Srinagar constituencies. The party said the initiative aims to bring residents concerns to the forefront and push for concrete measures to address them.

Sharma alleged that the National Conference government had failed to address several pressing concerns of the people despite their expectations of change, development, employment and better governance. He said issues affecting employees, women, farmers, industrialists, tribal communities, VDGs, youth, refugees, transporters and border residents could not be ignored, and called for concrete solutions instead of political rhetoric and excuses.

Srinagar, Sept 11: Former IAS officer and the father of IAS officer Sehrish Asgar, Friday returned to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), marking his re-entry into the party after a series of political switches over the past few years.

Welcoming the new entrants, Mehbooba recalled her long association with Asgar Ali and said their experience and public outreach would help strengthen the partys organisation and grassroots presence across J&K. Ali, who retired from the civil service before entering electoral politics, had initially joined the PDP. He later left the party, joined the National Conference in 2019 and subsequently moved to the Apni Party. Mehbooba described the PDP as the only credible political alternative for the people of J&K and said its emergence was among the biggest achievements of the political vision of its founder and late Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. She said the PDP was founded on the principles of peace, reconciliation, dignity and democratic empowerment and would continue to work for the political and socio-economic aspirations of the people. Return of experienced political figures would provide fresh impetus to the partys efforts to rebuild and expand its organisational base, she said. The PDP chief expressed confidence that the experience and public outreach of Asgar Ali, Diljit Singh and Sheetal Sharma would contribute to strengthening the party at the grassroots level and expanding its presence across J&K.
