Farooq Abdullah says Pakistan protecting Kashmiris; BJP leaders accuse him of treason
Baramulla , Oct 24 : National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah on Saturday claimed that Pakistan was protecting the people of Jammu and Kashmir by repeatedly raising the Kashmir issue at international forums, while alleging that the Centre's intentions towards the region were not good. Addressing a workers' convention here, Abdullah questioned whether Kashmiris could expect justice from Delhi and said, Pakistan's continued efforts to raise the Kashmir issue internationally were putting pressure on India. What can you expect from Delhi? You must have the courage to stand up to them and fight. If you do not, you will be wiped out. Your name and identity will disappear, and no one will even remember you. Our neighbour is constantly after them. It goes everywhere, saying that the Kashmir issue has not been resolved. It is protecting us; otherwise, their intentions are not good. They say one thing but do something entirely different, Abdullah said. He further called on people to stand by the truth, warning that their future would remain insecure unless they spoke out and stood firm. You must have the courage to stand by the truth. Speaking the truth is not easy, but unless you speak the truth and stand firm by it, your future will never be secure, he said. Abdullah's remarks drew strong criticism from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, who accused him of echoing Pakistan's narrative and questioned his comments on the country's role in Jammu and Kashmir. The remarks triggered sharp reactions from leaders who accused him of making anti-national statements and demanded action against him. Uttar Pradesh Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna accused Abdullah of exploiting Kashmiris throughout his political career and said the region's integration into the national mainstream under the Modi government was in the best interests of its people. It is people like Farooq Abdullah who have exploited Kashmir throughout their lives. Farooq Abdullah is responsible for reducing Kashmiris to second-class citizens, and he ought not to be making such statements. It is precisely because of Indias diversity that Kashmir is now integrated into the nations mainstream, and every citizen of Kashmir enjoys the same rights as those in the rest of India. Therefore, the current situation in Kashmirbrought about by the Modi governmentis what is truly in the best interest of the Kashmiri people. Today, the people of Kashmir are at their happiest, thanks to the Modi government, Khanna said. BJP leader Ravinder Raina termed Abdullah's statement highly condemnable and unfortunate, accusing him of treason and alleging that Pakistan had supported terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir for decades. The statement made by Dr. Farooq Abdullah regarding Kashmir and Pakistan is highly condemnable and unfortunate; in fact, Dr. Farooq Abdullah has committed an act of treason. Pakistan is the killer of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Over the last 35 years, Pakistan has sought to turn Jammu and Kashmir into a graveyard and a cremation ground. This is the very same Pakistan that has fostered terrorism within Jammu and Kashmirproviding training, bombs, guns, pistols, ammunition, and grenades to terrorists. How could Pakistan ever be a well-wisher to the people of Jammu and Kashmir? Raina said. BJP leader Altaf Thakur also condemned Abdullah's remarks, calling them an attack on the country's unity and integrity and demanding action against the National Conference chief. This is an open rebellion against the country. His statement is against the unity and integrity of the country. The National Conference has always been anti-country. The statement made by Farooq Abdullah is completely an anti-country statement. Action should be taken against him, Thakur said. Janata Dal (United) state president G M Shaheen also criticised Abdullah, questioning why the National Conference chief continued to echo Pakistan's narrative despite having held several constitutional positions. When a leader like Farooq Abdullah makes such a statement and supports Pakistan, what else can I call it but a misfortune? He has served as a Chief Minister, a member of the Rajya Sabha, and a Member of Parliament; he has worked within the framework of the countrys Constitutionyet, he chooses to speak the language of Pakistan. It is truly shameful. If Jammu and Kashmir is safe, it is because of India. Why does he always echo Pakistans narrative? The militancy that has plagued Kashmir since the 1990s was, in part, a consequence of his government. Whenever these people have come to power, they have invariably begun to speak the language of Pakistan. This is nothing new for Farooq Abdullah, but the nation should hold him accountable, Shaheen said. Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma also criticised Abdullah, questioning his allegations against India and asking whether he considered himself separate from the country. If we point out that they lack love for the country, they immediately start complaining that such things are being said about them. He himself served as Chief Minister, and now his son is Chief Minister. He has full access to all resourcesfrom across India and everywhere else. Yet, he still makes such accusations. If he claims that Indias intentions were not good, does that mean he views himself as separate from India? He should learn from his own sonOmar Abdullah, Sharma said. Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Vinod Bansal also condemned Abdullah's remarks, asserting that Jammu and Kashmir would always remain an integral part of India and questioning his reference to Pakistan. Kashmir was, is, and will always remain an integral part of India. They live in India and sing praises of Pakistan. Is Kashmir safe because of Pakistan, or is Kashmir safe by showing India's strength to Pakistan? If this is his statement, then there is no greater treason than this, Bansal said. Meanwhile, Congress leaders disagreed with Abdullah's remarks about Pakistan but also raised concerns over the political and administrative situation in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the continued denial of statehood. Congress leader Ravinder Sharma reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir was an integral part of India and accused Pakistan of spreading terrorism. He cited the Shimla Agreement while arguing that Pakistan had no right to raise the Kashmir issue, and also referred to concerns over the treatment of minorities and the delay in restoring statehood. Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, and it will remain an integral part. Pakistan spreads terrorism. Pakistan has no right or claim to raise the issue of Jammu and Kashmirespecially following the Shimla Agreement, in which it was agreed in writing that bilateral issues would be addressed through direct, bilateral engagement. Thirdly, regarding Farooq Abdullahs remarks: he pointed to the disenfranchisement of minority voters, the use of bulldozers against minorities, and other forms of oppression, noting that there is an elected government in Kashmir. The Congress party is also fighting for thisdemanding to know why, despite repeated promises, an undertaking given to the Supreme Court, and discussions in Parliament, statehood is still being denied to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. In that context, we also recognise that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are facing oppression, Sharma said. Congress leader Rashid Alvi also disagreed with Abdullah's position, while questioning Pakistan's handling of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). I do not agree with Farooq Abdullah on this. There is no doubt that the BJP government has committed excesses in Kashmir. But what is happening in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK)? People there regularly protest against the Pakistani government. If the people in PoK are unhappy and dissatisfied with the Pakistani government, what can Pakistan do about our Kashmir? Alvi said. Apart from his remarks on Pakistan and Delhi, Abdullah raised concerns over the implementation of a mandatory two-year service requirement for doctors who pursue medical courses in Jammu and Kashmir. He alleged that a file related to the matter had been pending with the Lieutenant Governor for a year. Doctors who come from outside Jammu and Kashmir to pursue MBBS, MD, or MS courses, as well as students who study medicine here, are required to serve for two years in villages, hospitals, and other areas across the region. If they fail to fulfil this requirement, they must pay 50 Lakh to the administration. This is a region where a file has been pending with the Lieutenant Governor for a year, yet it has still not been approved. This is the state of affairs here. What can you expect from Delhi? Can you really expect them to deliver justice to you? Abdullah said. (ANI)

J-K Crime Branch files chargesheet against health worker over alleged forged Class 10 certificate
Jammu, Oct 24: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch Jammu on Saturday filed a chargesheet against a health department employee for allegedly securing a government job as a dental assistant using a forged Class 10 certificate nearly two decades ago, an official said. The chargesheet was filed against the employee, Sohan Lal Singh, and his deceased father, Veer Singh, before the court of the fourth Additional Munsiff, Jammu, in a case registered last year, a Crime Branch spokesperson said. The case originated from a communication received from the CID Headquarters, Jammu and Kashmir, alleging that Singh had been working as a dental assistant at the Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Arnia, Jammu, for nearly two decades on the basis of a fraudulent matriculation certificate purportedly issued in Bihar or Uttar Pradesh, the spokesperson said. The investigation revealed that Singh had passed Class 8 but had never cleared the Class 10 examination through his school, he said. The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), Jammu, confirmed erasures and chemical alterations in the mark sheet, while school records revealed discrepancies in his date of birth, the spokesperson said. Statements and other evidence corroborated that Singhs father, who has since died and worked as a driver in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, had allegedly procured forged documents for his minor son. The falsified records were subsequently used to establish his eligibility for dental assistant training and secure an appointment through the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board, he said. The spokesperson said offences under various sections of law had been established against the accused based on the evidence collected during the investigation. The chargesheet has been filed for judicial determination, he added.

Addressing the conference, Rana emphasised the need for effective and meaningful implementation of the Forest Rights Act to ensure that the rights and entitlements of tribal communities and other traditional forest dwellers are protected. He said the Act is an important legislation aimed at recognising the legitimate rights of forest-dependent communities, safeguarding their livelihoods and ensuring their dignity and socio-economic empowerment. The Minister observed that strenuous efforts are required to strengthen the implementation mechanism and ensure that eligible beneficiaries receive the rights guaranteed under the legislation. Rana said the Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, has taken important steps towards strengthening implementation of the Act, including designating the Tribal Affairs Department as the nodal department for its implementation in Jammu and Kashmir. He stressed that the Forest Rights Act must be understood as a legal entitlement of eligible forest-dwelling communities and that its benefits should reach every deserving family through a transparent and accessible process. He said that while conferences at the national and regional levels provide valuable opportunities for reviewing progress and sharing experiences, their real purpose can only be achieved when the knowledge, decisions and recommendations emerging from such deliberations reach the communities at the grassroots level. The Minister also called for greater coordination among the Tribal Affairs, Revenue, Forest and Rural Development Departments, along with district administrations, to ensure smooth implementation and timely resolution of pending matters. He underlined that the disposal of claims must be fair and transparent and that no eligible beneficiary should be deprived of legitimate rights due to procedural difficulties or lack of awareness. Highlighting the contribution of tribal communities, particularly the Gujjar and Bakarwal communities, Rana said that these communities have shared a close relationship with forests for generations and have contributed significantly to the preservation of traditional knowledge, natural resources and ecological balance. He said that recognising forest rights and protecting the environment are complementary responsibilities and must be pursued together through a balanced and people-oriented approach. The Minister further emphasised that the recommendations and experiences shared during the conference should be properly documented and made available to field-level officers so that they can be translated into practical improvements in implementation. The conference was attended by Anant Prakash Pandey, Union Joint Secretary, Ministry of Tribal Affairs, senior officers of the Ministry, representatives from participating States and senior officials of the Jammu and Kashmir Government. During the technical sessions, detailed discussions were held on the status of pending forest rights claims, recognition of individual and community forest rights, habitat rights, incorporation of recognised forest rights in revenue and forest records, digitisation of FRA records and the proposed National FRA Portal. Representatives from Maharashtra, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir shared their experiences, progress and practices relating to the implementation of the Act. The conference concluded with deliberations on improving implementation mechanisms, strengthening institutional coordination and taking forward the recommendations for ensuring that the objectives of the Forest Rights Act are achieved in letter and spirit.
