Centre actively considering hike in SPOs honorarium: LoP Sunil Sharma
Leader of Opposition (LoP) in J&K Legislative Assembly Sunil Sharma on Tuesday asserted that the Centre was actively considering a hike in the honorarium of Special Police Officers (SPOs) working to safeguard the peace and safety in the Union Territory. LoP, while addressing a press conference at BJP headquarter in Jammu, also questioned the silence of Congress and its allies over the use of brutal force against the protesting students in Jharkhand. He also expressed solidarity of BJP with the students protesting there (Jharkhand) against alleged irregularities, corruption and paper leaks in recruitment examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). BJP national secretary and MLA Jammu South Narinder Singh along with J&K BJP spokespersons Vikram Malhotra and Zorawar Jamwal accompanied Sunil Sharma during the presser. Responding to a separate question about the visit of the central Committee on demographic change to Jammu, Sunil Sharma alleged that Pakistan had been trying to alter the demography in J&K through infiltration and illegal settlement. Through terrorism, it achieved success in Kashmir from where Kashmiri Pandits were forced to migrate. Now through infiltration and illegal settlements, attempts are underway to change the demography in Jammu, he claimed, while quoting some examples. LoP stated that the present central government took the matter seriously and constituted a high-level committee, which was currently on Jammu visit, interacting with all stakeholders to assess demographic changes in J&K. With regard to SPOs question, LoP said that BJP always stood firmly with them (SPOs). Soon we will be sharing some very good news for our SPOs, who serve day and night to safeguard the peace and security of Jammu and Kashmir. The BJP-led central government is actively considering a hike in their honorarium, he stated. Regarding Jharkhand students protest, LoP said that the ongoing (student) agitation was fundamentally a struggle for justice, transparency and accountability. He emphasised that the students movement remained peaceful, disciplined and organic, with the protesters conducting themselves within the framework of parliamentary language, constitutional values and the rule of law. Sunil Sharma said that the grievances raised by the students regarding the recruitment examination process deserved to be addressed with seriousness and transparency. He noted that the demand for an independent investigation, including a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry, was aimed at establishing the facts, restoring confidence in the recruitment process and ensuring that deserving candidates were not deprived of their rightful opportunities. The youth of the country place their faith in competitive examinations as a means of building their future. Any allegation of paper leaks, irregularities or manipulation in recruitment examinations strikes at the very foundation of that trust. These concerns must be investigated impartially and transparently, he said. The Leader of Opposition strongly criticised the alleged use of force against students participating in the agitation. He said that peaceful students raising legitimate concerns should not be met with lathicharge or coercive measures. According to Sharma, the appropriate response of a democratic administration should be dialogue, engagement and a credible mechanism for addressing grievances, rather than force. Questioning the silence of the Congress and its alliance partners on the issue, he accused the opposition parties of adopting a selective approach towards student movements and alleged that political considerations were being placed above the concerns and welfare of young people. He said that the concerns of students should not become a matter of political convenience. The aspirations of our youth cannot be reduced to political calculations. Students demanding fairness in examinations deserve to be heard, irrespective of which state or political party is involved, he said. Sunil Sharma further called upon young people to remain vigilant against attempts to politicise genuine grievances and urged them to continue expressing their concerns through peaceful and constitutional means. He stressed that democratic institutions must protect the rights and aspirations of students while ensuring that legitimate public grievances are addressed through due process. The Leader of Opposition reiterated that transparency in recruitment, accountability in public institutions and protection of students democratic rights are essential to maintaining public confidence in the examination and recruitment system. He called upon the Jharkhand administration to engage with the protesting students, address their concerns through a credible process and ensure that any allegations of examination irregularities were subjected to an impartial and time-bound investigation.

J-K LoP Sunil Sharma backs Jharkhand students; attacks Opposition over 'double standards'
Jammu, Aug 11: Leader of Opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Sunil Sharma on Tuesday expressed solidarity with students protesting in Jharkhand over alleged irregularities, corruption and paper leaks in recruitment examinations, and accused opposition parties of maintaining double standards on student issues. Addressing a press conference here, Sharma said the ongoing student agitation was a struggle for justice, transparency and accountability, and reiterated his demand for an impartial probe, including by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), into the alleged irregularities. BJP National Secretary and Jammu South MLA Narinder Singh and party spokespersons Vikram Malhotra and Zorawar Jamwal were also present. Sharma noted that students had been raising their demands peacefully, within the ambit of law and the Constitution, and questioned the alleged use of force against them. If students are raising their demands peacefully and within the ambit of law and the Constitution, why should they face lathicharge or harassment? Why is there silence on this issue today? he asked. He alleged that opposition parties, which recently raised their voice over student-related issues, were now silent on the Jharkhand agitation. Sharma questioned whether recent protests by opposition leaders purportedly in support of students reflected genuine concern or were motivated by political interests. Today, we want to ask all those parties where their morality is and where their voice has gone. A few days ago, you were raising slogans, protesting and making every effort to create instability in the country. Where has that voice gone today? he said. Targeting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Sharma accused the Congress and its allies of adopting a double standard on issues concerning students. He also referred to the Aam Aadmi Party, Samajwadi Party and other opposition parties, urging the youth to expose what he described as their double standards, double politics and double character. The youth are the foundation of the country's future. They should not become a tool in the hands of political parties seeking to create instability or disorder, Sharma said. He appealed to the younger generation not to fall prey to attempts to politicise genuine grievances and urged students to continue raising their concerns through peaceful and constitutional means. Sharma said the BJP stood in solidarity with the Jharkhand students fighting for justice and reiterated that allegations of recruitment examination irregularities should be investigated through a credible, impartial and time-bound mechanism. He also criticised the Congress leadership in Jammu and Kashmir, alleging that the party had earlier been vocal on student protests and alleged harassment but was now silent on the Jharkhand issue. From Jammu and Kashmir, I want to ask the Congress party here why its voice has gone silent today. Until recently, its leaders were coming out in support of protests and raising their voice over alleged harassment of students, he said. Sharma alleged that certain political forces were attempting to create an atmosphere of instability and disorder in the country and claimed that the Congress in Jammu and Kashmir had often remained at the forefront of such political campaigns. He said the people of Jammu and Kashmir were entitled to question the local Congress leadership over its stand on the Jharkhand students' agitation. Sharma reiterated that recruitment examinations must be conducted fairly and transparently and that students' legitimate grievances should be addressed through dialogue and due process rather than coercive measures.

Kangana Ranaut takes aim at Naseeruddin Shah over student protests:
Highlights Kangana Ranaut has backed Piyush Mishra after he criticised Naseeruddin Shah over his comments about Bollywoods silence on student protests. Ranaut said she would rather be a dog than a lomdi (fox), referring to Shah. The dispute began after Shah compared Bollywoods silence on student protests to a dog with a bone in its mouth. Mishra questioned Shahs own response to the Jharkhand students protest. A war of words between veteran actors Naseeruddin Shah and Piyush Mishra has drawn BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut into the controversy, with Ranaut backing Mishra and launching a pointed attack on Shah. The dispute began after Shah criticised Bollywood personalities for remaining silent over student protests. He compared those who refused to speak out to a dog with a bone in its mouth that cannot bark. Mishra later challenged Shahs remarks while speaking to the media during a student protest in Jharkhand, questioning where the actor stood on the issue. Piyush Mishra questions Naseeruddin Shahs comments Mishra referred to Shahs earlier remarks about celebrities who had remained silent during protests and questioned why Shah himself was not speaking about the Jharkhand students protest. With all due respect, I would like to ask you, where are the other dogs who cant speak? Mishra also referred to people who had taken part in protests in Delhi and Mumbai over the NEET paper leak controversy. He alleged that some protesters were more concerned with comforts such as pizza and burgers than standing with students fighting for their rights. While criticising Shahs comments, Mishra maintained that he continues to respect him as an actor. However, he said he no longer feels intimidated by the veteran star. Kangana Ranaut joins the row Ranaut responded to Mishras remarks by defending him and turning Shahs dog comparison back on him. She wrote that she was proud to stand by the country where she lives and works, adding that she would rather be called a dog because of the animals loyalty than a fox. I'd rather be a dog than a lomdi (fox) like Naseeruddin. Ranaut also claimed that while Shah eats from this country, he fights for a neighbouring country. Debate over Bollywoods political silence The exchange has widened the debate over how Bollywood personalities respond to student protests and other social and political issues. What began with Shahs criticism of the industrys silence has now developed into a public disagreement involving two veteran actors, with Ranauts intervention adding a political dimension to the dispute.

Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has joined the ongoing exchange involving veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah and actor Piyush Mishra over comments on celebrities and their response to protests. Kangana took a direct swipe at Shah on Tuesday, August 11, after Mishra questioned the veteran actor's earlier remarks about the film industry's silence on public issues. The latest controversy traces back to comments Shah made in an earlier interview with The Wire, in which he spoke about celebrities choosing when to speak on protests. Shah had said, Celebrities will speak when their conscience tells them to do so. There's a saying that a dog with a bone in its mouth cannot bark. As soon as the bone falls from its mouth or its teeth break, then it will bark. The remark has now resurfaced amid the ongoing debate around student protests in Jharkhand. Piyush Mishra recently addressed Shah's statement and questioned the veteran actor over his position. Kangana subsequently responded to the controversy through a strongly worded social media post. Kangana said that while everyone may be loyal to someone or something, she takes pride in standing by the country she belongs to. Taking a direct dig at Shah, she wrote, Nasir Saab khaate toh iss desh ka hain lekin ladte padosi desh ke liye hain.
