Harf-e-Haqq Dil Mei Khatakta Hai Jo Kante Ki Tarah.. Aaj Izhaar Karein Aur Khalish Mitt Jaye… — Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s ‘Dua’ from ‘Sar-e-Waadi-e-Seena’

A foreign diplomat has spoken against a sitting Member of Parliament on Indian soil and the Government seems to have normalized or worse encouraged it. This is a very dangerous precedent that undermines our institutional integrity and constitution. This is not a Congress issue!

The entire south city has been paralyzed by a massive logjam. Ambulances, children coming from school, thousands of families stuck. What is going on?

It’s cute how NC is planting “breaking news” through two-bit, for-hire online tabloids about Statehood restoration. Bereft of conviction and courage, the traditional charlatans resort to living in their make-belief world. Generation after generation — same trickery and deceit!

We had started a daily water quality monitoring at multiple spots in the city during my tenure. And we used to publish this online — allowing full transparency and kept the standards very high. I still don’t have an answer why that has been stopped? SMC Control Room 24x7

There was some GRAND poll-time promise about augmentation of “Financial Assistance Under Marriage Assistance Scheme” for lesser-privileged sisters? Not to speak of an augmentation, hundreds of poor applicants are being told there are “no funds”. Does this Govt have no shame?

Sudden, shocking deficit in basic governance by essential services departments in Srinagar could, at least in-part, be because of 99% of officers’ time wasted in photo-shoots with MLAs. Hon’ble MLAs should consider using AI for their photo shoots and please let officers WORK!

My thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the cloudburst in #Kishtwar. My heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased and prayers for the recovery of those injured and affected. I’m told the toll and magnitude of damage may be higher than anticipated.

It seems the Hon’ble SC has taken into account the statement of the J&K Chief Minister on the floor of the Assembly — where he FOR SOME REASON felt the bizarre urge to link the Pahalgam terror attack with the prospects of J&K’s Statehood restoration. Nationaelan Mubarak.

The hyphenation of J&K’s Statehood with Pahalgam terror attack didn’t start in the Supreme Court. It started in the J&K Assembly — and not by BJP. It was started by the CM — over-eager to appear palatable to the BJP. And here is the result. The hyphenation is now complete!

Despite differences of view, it’s a welcome sight to see the J&K CM — an elected representative of the people, hoist the tricolor today. Sooner or later he will need to realize the ideological context of his mandate and that servility won’t lead to restoration of what was taken.

One hopes the CM understands the constitutional sanctity of the elected Assembly in fighting for J&K’s constitutional rights. However, one wouldn’t be surprised if these theatrics are a mere smokescreen to cover complicity and shield the BJP from taking a stand in the Assembly.
