Jan 01, 2022 Gulzar Bhat The entire Kashmiri leadership feels utterly helpless. Farooq Abdullah seldom sings Bollywood songs or dance whole-heartedly as he used to. At times, he breaks down in the middle of media interviews.
Dec 26, 2021 PTI The MP from Srinagar and National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah said the Kashmir situation is worse than the 90s—when militancy erupted in J&K. He said the youth in Kashmir feel they have no place in modern India.
Raina said that with honesty, the Delimitation Commission, with the support of the Election Commission, has put forth its recommendations after a lot of hard work to provide justice to deprived communities and regions.
Dec 22, 2021 PTI Kashmir: The Delimitation Commission, set up to redraw the assembly seats of the union territory, is learnt to have proposed six additional seats for the Jammu region and one for the Kashmir Valley, after meeting five MPs, including three from NC (National Conference) and two from BJP.
On Delimitation Commission's recommendations, Tarigami said, "We are firmly of the opinion that it (proposal) is divisive and will further deepen the divide in Jammu and Kashmir."
He said the saffron party knew that it would fall short of the majority in the House on its own whenever elections are held.
The National Conference leader said there were attacks taking place in broad daylight in the Kashmir valley and militancy was back again in those areas which were made militancy-free during his regime.
Referring to the recent killings, Tarigami said, “We have been demanding you must tell us who is behind all these killings and you must take action against those elements and make them accountable.”
Kashmir: National Conference vice president and former J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s assertion came amidst speculations that there are rifts within the constituents of PAGD—an amalgam of six political parties seeking restoration of J&K’s special status.
PAGD spokesperson Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami said: ‘We will also seek legal advice about approaching the Supreme Court... we will knock on every door’.
On Saturday Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) announced an agitation in the entire Ladakh region with a bandh call on December 6.
'The claims in a recently released report by the Union Home ministry are far from the reality. The reality is that there is a systematic disempowerment of the people of Jammu and Kashmir that is continuing to happen, through bureaucratic rule', PAGD spokesman and senior CPIM leader Mohammad Yousuf Taragami.
‘I support any scheme that allows the government to raise the revenue without putting the burden on people’, said Omar Abdullah

The pandemic has made it clear that virtual learning is here to stay. In the West, the big question is whether it will dilute the quality of the college experience and education. In India, which grapples with digital divide, the question remains whether this will reach most people at all.
