CM backs Mohan Bhagwat's 'Gen Z grievances genuine' remark
Jammu, Aug 7:Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday supported Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat's remark that Gen Z grievances are genuine and protesting doesn't make them anti-national. Referring to Mohan Bhagwat's remark, CM Omar said it was encouraging that a distinction was made between opposing the government and acting against the country. The good thing is that Mohan Bhagwatji has acknowledged this distinction. Opposing the government is not the same as opposing the country. In fact, opposing the government is often beneficial for the nation because it helps correct mistakes wherever they occur, he said. On Thursday while addressing a gathering of around 2,000 Gen Z and Gen Alpha members at India's International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) 15th anniversary event in Mumbai, Bhagwat said, If Gen Z members are agitating, they are not anti-national; they are our people. It is our next generation. You need a dialogue and rapport with them. The CM urged authorities to stop action against students who participated in the agitation over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination and said protesting against the government should not be equated with opposing the nation. He said the agitation helped ensure accountability, expressing hope that it would lead to improvements in the conduct of future examinations. Expressing concern over reports of action against the protesters, CM Omar said students were allegedly being manhandled, booked in criminal cases and harassed on social media. In some instances, police reportedly summoned their relatives. I believe this entire course of action should stop, he said. Referring to the protests in Jharkhand, CM Omar said he hoped Chief Minister Hemant Soren would engage with the protesting students instead of ignoring their demands. He should call them, hold talks with them, and if anything wrong has actually happened, take action against those responsible, just as we did here, he said. The CM urged the Jharkhand government to engage with the protesting students and address their grievances.

Two Separate Political Identities: Why It Could Benefit Both Jammu and Kashmir
COLONEL AJAY K RAINA The demand for creating two political entities out of the present UT, i.e. a separate Jammu state/UT is often portrayed as a contest between two regions, as though the aspirations of Jammu can only be realised at the expense of Kashmir. This perception has obscured a more fundamental question: can the reorganisation of the present Union Territory create better governance, more balanced development and greater political stability for both regions? A careful examination suggests that it can. Across the world, administrative boundaries are periodically redrawn not because people become adversaries but because governance becomes more effective when institutions are aligned with regional aspirations, geographical realities and developmental priorities. India itself has repeatedly reorganised states on linguistic, cultural and administrative grounds. The creation of Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Telangana did not weaken the Indian Union. Instead, it allowed governments to focus on the distinct needs of their respective populations. The proposal for a separate Jammu deserves to be viewed in this context. It is not about dividing people but about improving governance. More importantly, it offers significant benefits not only to the people of Jammu but also to the people of Kashmir. For decades, the politics of the erstwhile state revolved around a perpetual struggle over power-sharing between Jammu and Kashmir. Every issuebudget allocations, recruitment, infrastructure, tourism, education, healthcare and administrative appointmentswas viewed through the prism of regional competition. Whether these perceptions were entirely justified is less important than the fact that they became deeply entrenched in public consciousness. The result was a political discourse in which each region increasingly believed that the other's gain came at its own expense. A separate Jammu state would fundamentally alter this equation. Instead of competing within a single political framework for limited resources and influence, the two regions would govern themselves according to their own priorities while continuing to remain integral parts of the Indian Union. For Jammu, the advantages are evident. Its government would be accountable solely to the people of Jammu. Development priorities would naturally reflect the region's own requirements, whether that means expanding pilgrimage tourism, harnessing the hydroelectric potential of the Chenab River, improving infrastructure in the remote districts like Poonch, Rajouri, Kishtwar etc, promoting industry in Kathua and Samba, or strengthening agriculture in the plains. Administrative attention would no longer be divided between two regions with very different developmental needs. Less discussed, however, are the equally significant advantages for Kashmir. Successive governments in Srinagar have had to balance competing regional demands while simultaneously dealing with complex security and political challenges unique to the Valley. A separate Kashmir administration would no longer need to reconcile two distinct regional agendas within a single governmental framework. This would allow greater policy focus on issues specific to the Valley, including horticulture, tourism, urban development, environmental conservation, flood management and employment generation. Political debates within Kashmir would also become more internally focused. Instead of regional representation becoming a recurring issue, public discourse could increasingly revolve around governance, economic development, education, healthcare, entrepreneurship and environmental sustainability. In mature democracies, governments are judged less by whom they represent geographically and more by how effectively they deliver public services. Administrative separation creates the opportunity for precisely such a transition. The economic benefits are equally compelling. Jammu and Kashmir possess fundamentally different comparative advantages. Jammu's economy is anchored in pilgrimage tourism, agriculture, logistics, hydropower and emerging industry. Kashmir's strengths lie in horticulture, handicrafts, high-end tourism, floriculture and knowledge-based services. Under separate administrations, each government could formulate policies tailored to its own economic profile instead of pursuing one-size-fits-all approaches. Tourism illustrates this distinction particularly well. Jammu can position itself as India's premier spiritual and adventure tourism destination, while Kashmir can concentrate on luxury tourism, winter sports, eco-tourism and international branding. Rather than competing for budgetary allocations, both governments could independently invest in infrastructure, marketing and destination development while continuing to cooperate on integrated tourism circuits that benefit visitors travelling across the Himalayan region. Infrastructure planning would similarly become more efficient. Jammu's priorities include industrial corridors, expressways, logistics hubs and connectivity to the plains. Kashmir's priorities increasingly centre on urban mobility, environmental protection, flood mitigation and sustainable tourism. Separate governments would enable each region to allocate resources according to its own developmental needs without constant negotiations over competing regional claims. The administrative benefits extend beyond economics. Smaller states generally enable governments to function closer to the people they serve. Decision-making becomes more responsive, bureaucratic accountability improves and public grievances are addressed more efficiently. While smaller size alone does not guarantee better governance, it often facilitates more focused administration, particularly in geographically diverse regions. Kashmiris have been voicing their concerns about the reservations in education, jobs etc, citing absence of any significant reserved category population in Kashmir, unlike in Jammu. Such apprehensions will also get addressed if the step towards a peaceful separation is taken. There is also an important psychological dimension. Much of the political friction between Jammu and Kashmir has stemmed not merely from policy differences but from perceptions of imbalance. Whether relating to employment, public expenditure, infrastructure or political representation, these perceptions have repeatedly shaped regional politics. Administrative separation removes many of these sources of recurring contention. Each government becomes responsible for its own successes and failures, reducing the tendency to attribute local problems to decisions made elsewhere. Critics often argue that separating Jammu would weaken Kashmir economically. Such concerns deserve careful examination but are not necessarily supported by experience elsewhere in India. Modern federal systems are built upon cooperation rather than administrative dependence. States routinely trade with one another, share river waters, coordinate transport, exchange electricity and collaborate on tourism without requiring political integration. Jammu and Kashmir would continue to share history, culture, economic linkages and infrastructure irrespective of administrative boundaries. Indeed, cooperation may become easier once competition diminishes. The two governments could jointly promote tourism circuits, coordinate disaster management, develop common transport infrastructure, facilitate trade, protect shared river systems and collaborate on higher education and healthcare. Such cooperation would rest upon partnership rather than political rivalry. Nor should statehood be viewed as a rejection of Kashmir's unique cultural identity. On the contrary, administrative autonomy allows each region greater freedom to preserve and promote its own linguistic, cultural and historical heritage. J Jammu's Dogra and Pahari legacy, diverse religious traditions and multilingual society would receive focused institutional support, while Kashmir could independently strengthen policies relating to Kashmiri language, arts, crafts and cultural preservation. Diversity within the Indian Union has always flourished through decentralisation rather than uniformity. There is also a broader national perspective. Stable governance in both Jammu and Kashmir serves India's long-term interests. Administrations that are more responsive to local needs are better positioned to deliver development, improve public services and strengthen democratic institutions. As regional grievances decline, politics can gradually shift from questions of representation to questions of governance and economic performance. Such a transformation benefits citizens regardless of region. Naturally, state reorganisation would involve transitional challenges. The division of assets, liabilities, government cadres and institutional responsibilities would require careful planning. Mechanisms for sharing river waters, electricity infrastructure, transport networks and administrative services would need to be negotiated. Yet India has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to manage such transitions peacefully through constitutional processes. These are administrative questions, not insurmountable obstacles. Ultimately, the debate should move beyond the assumption that one region's progress must come at the expense of the other. Jammu and Kashmir are distinct in geography, economy, history and developmental priorities. Recognising these differences through administrative reorganisation need not diminish either region. On the contrary, it offers both an opportunity to govern according to their own needs while continuing to cooperate as neighbours within the same federal framework. The true test of any constitutional arrangement is whether it improves the lives of ordinary citizens. If a separate Jammu state enables better governance, more balanced development, greater accountability and reduced regional friction, while allowing Kashmir to focus more effectively on its own priorities, then the proposal should not be viewed as a division of a shared legacy. It should be seen as an exercise in cooperative federalismone that seeks stronger institutions, better governance and greater prosperity for both Jammu and Kashmir.

Srinagar, Aug 07: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday defended the right to dissent, saying criticism of the government should not be equated with being anti-national, while also taking a swipe at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), describing the controversy involving Iltija Mufti as a fixed match orchestrated to restore the party's credibility. Responding to questions from reporters, Omar welcomed remarks by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat distinguishing criticism of the government from criticism of the nation. Mohan Bhagwat sahib has not said anything that is untrue, Omar said. Referring to recent student protests, he said, The students protested for their rights and for what was rightfully theirs. Not a single thing they said was against the country. It may have been against the government, but not against the country. He added that Bhagwat had recognised an important distinction. Opposing the government is not opposing the country. Very often, opposing the government is beneficial for the country because mistakes are corrected. Citing alleged irregularities in the NEET examination process, Omar said the protests had helped bring accountability. There were irregularities in NEET. The people who had to be held responsible were identified because of this movement. Perhaps, because of this, the examination system will improve further in the future. That is in the country's interest, he said. The Chief Minister also criticised action taken against student protesters, alleging they were being harassed after the protests. After Mohan Bhagwat sahib's statement, students are being manhandled, cases are being registered against them, they are being harassed on social media, and where they themselves are not being targeted, their relatives are reportedly being called by the police in some places. I think this entire process should stop. These children have done nothing against the country, and the action against them should cease. Referring to another student agitation, Omar said students had been protesting for 14 days over alleged examination irregularities in Jharkhand and urged Chief Minister Hemant Soren to engage with them. I hope Hemant Soren sahib will not ignore these students' demands. Call them, speak to them, and if something has indeed gone wrong there, take action, just as we did here, he said. When asked about PDP president Mehbooba Mufti defending her daughter Iltija Mufti over recent developments, Omar declined to engage directly and instead launched a sharp political attack on the PDP. Please don't ask me to provide commentary on a fixed match, he said. Claiming the PDP's political standing had weakened, Omar alleged that the party was repeatedly being revived by central agencies. After 'that incident', their image had become so weak. This party did not rise on its own; it was created by agencies. Whenever their credibility declines, attempts are made by the agencies to restore it. Questioning the narrative surrounding Iltija Mufti, Omar remarked, Tell me, is Iltija Mufti a five-year-old child that she would bite someone? Even a five-year-old knows you don't bite people like that. Calling the episode an attempt to distract public attention, he added, This fixed match and this unnecessary attempt to fool people is only meant to make people forget what happened earlier. Unfortunately, this keeps happening with the PDP. Omar was also asked for his assessment of the situation in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), where, according to the reporter, India had been blamed over allegations of rigged elections in Jammu and Kashmir. His response was not included in the available transcript.
