Srinagar, Feb 11: J&K Peoples Conference President and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone addressing the Legislative Assembly, opened his speech by flagging the stark regional imbalance in reservation and certificate issuance. In his address, he revealed that of 11.81 lakh certificates issued, 86% went to Jammu and only 14% to Kashmir, despite similar per capita income and EWS eligibility. Even combining ST1, ST2, and RBA categories, Jammu received 85% of certificates, while Kashmir got just 15%, highlighting a long-standing skew in job allocation. Lone also appealed to the Education Minister, clarifying that he was not trying to score political points but had personally analysed the data himself. He pointed out the absence of any credible research behind the current reservation policy or at the very least, no such research has been shared. Quoting the statistical principle âGarbage In, Garbage Out,â he warned that flawed data will inevitably produce flawed outcomes. Lone added that unless the regional imbalance in the composition and distribution of reservations is seriously examined and corrected, the existing skewed pattern, where most jobs continue to go disproportionately to one region, will persist. On education, Lone praised the Minister for her understanding of college operations but recommended introducing industry-friendly, job-oriented courses across colleges instead of repeating the same programs everywhere. He warned that failing to mainstream skill-based education contributes to unemployment, stressing that vocational skills must shed social stigma to become viable career paths. Turning to healthcare, he urged the Health Minister to ensure Handwara Medical College receives MRI machines and Cath Labs, noting it was missing from previous plans. He also highlighted the acute shortage of dental surgeons, pointing out that despite a population with over 45 crore teeth, recruitment has not been done for years. Lone also suggested simplifying donation procedures for hospitals, emphasizing that contributions should be welcomed without excessive bureaucratic hurdles.
New Delhi, Feb 11: Member of Parliament used his intervention during the Union Budget discussion in the Lok Sabha to forcefully reiterate the demand for the restoration of Article 370 and Article 35A, asserting that the constitutional guarantees taken away from Jammu and Kashmir must be returned. Speaking in the House, Engineer Rashid said he had already submitted his legal demands to the Finance Minister and expressed hope that they would be duly examined. He said his core concern, however, remains the constitutional and democratic rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The Baramulla MP Er Rashid said political parties may fight based on their respective ideologies, but his struggle for Jammu and Kashmirâs rights would continue âeven if it takes a hundred yearsâ. He categorically told the House that Article 370 and Article 35A cannot be wished away and must be restored. âYou will have to return Article 370 â and you will have to return it with interest,â he said, underlining the political and emotional damage caused by its abrogation. âYou have committed numerous atrocities against Kashmiris; even if you carpet the streets of Kashmir with gold, you will still have to return Article 370.â He said the constitutional rights of Kashmiris cannot be bought, compensated or silenced through economic packages or political narratives. Er Rashid challenged the narrative surrounding the abrogation and called for a referendum in Jammu and Kashmir to ascertain the will of the people. He said Kashmiris should be asked directly whether they favour the restoration of Article 370 and 35A or support their abrogation, instead of decisions being imposed without consent.

Jammu, Feb 1: Uproarious scenes were witnessed in the Legislative Assembly for the second consecutive day on Wednesday over remarks made by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah against BJP lawmakers. As the House assembled in the morning, BJP MLA Sham Lal Sharma said the words used by the CM were unparliamentary and that they would leave it to his conscience whether he would withdraw his remarks. âWhat happened in the House yesterday has no precedence. The language used by the Honâble CM is not parliamentary. The treasury benches are hostile towards us. I want to ask the Leader of the House whether he will withdraw his remarks. We leave it to his conscience to decide,â Sharma said. As BJP legislators stood up, Minister for Health & Medical Education Sakina Itoo accused the opposition of using indecent language against the treasury benches. âThe opposition has been using unparliamentary language. The Deputy CM was told, âAap apni shakal dekho.â We have directions not to disrupt the opposition,â she said. âYou donât want to listen-this is your biggest problem. You should also check what comments were made by the opposition,â Sakina told the lawmakers. Amid a heated exchange of arguments between the two sides, Sham Lal Sharma was interrupted by the Deputy CM, who said, âDonât teach us.â In a fit of rage, Sham asked him to take his hands out of his pockets. BJPâs Balwant Singh Mankotia accused the CM of making remarks collectively against BJP lawmakers. âHe has made these remarks collectively against us. Is it not inappropriate?â he asked. NCâs Aijaz Jan hit back, saying the BJP had used defamatory and derogatory language against the 20 lakh people of Pir Panchal. As BJP continued with its demand, Sakina Ittoo accused them of attempting to ruin the careers of students enrolled in Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Sciences (SMVDIME). âYou expelled 50 students from SMVDIME in the name of Hindu-Muslim. You tried to ruin the careers of students. You should apologise to them. You should also apologise to the people of the Pir Panchal region,â she said. Nazir Gurezi of NC said that the CM wanted to explain but was not allowed to put his viewpoint before the House. The Speaker requested the opposition to allow the House to function. âThe Chief Minister is not present, and I cannot speak on his behalf. When he comes, if he wishes to speak, he will do so. Please allow the Question Hour to proceed. I have the authority and can use it, but I request you to let the proceedings continue,â he said. Leader of the Opposition, Sunil Sharma, said the Speaker should assure them that the Chief Minister would clarify whether the language used by him was appropriate. âWe want the House to function. Running the House is the responsibility of the ruling party and the Speaker. In the history of the Assembly, the words used here yesterday have never been used before. Was the language used by the Chief Minister appropriate? The Speaker should assure us whether the Chief Minister will respond. The public has been embarrassed. This is a question concerning the whole of Jammu and Kashmir,â Sharma said. Addressing the Speaker, the Deputy Chief Minister said, âIf you feel that some words used were inappropriate, you can remove them from the record. We have no objection.â Sharma responded, saying those words would be excluded automatically. âAt least acknowledge those words were insulting,â Sharma said. At 10:30 a.m., the BJP staged a walkout from the House. (KNO)

Srinagar, Jan 15: After the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (BOSE) declared the result of the class 10th and 12th annual (regular) examinations, the whole focus shifted to the achievers, particularly the toppers. Amidst the appreciation and celebrations for the successful candidates, a stark reality has emerged in society that none of the stakeholders talk about those students who could not pass the examination. This emerging trend has become dangerous for the young students particularly the average performers or those who do not pass the exam in their first attempt. Amid this, a government school teacher has put forth a clear message for the parents of those children who could not qualify the JKBOSE exams. Aasima Jan, a government school teacher from Baramulla district said that expectations of the parents should not make the students victim of depression. She believes that the parents must stand by their children who could not qualify the JKBOSE exams or qualified it with average grades. After the announcement of the results, some students qualified the exams with good marks in class 10th and 12th exams while qualified with average grades while some could not qualify the exams. "Those parents whose children either took less marks or could not qualify for the exam, must be a little upset with their children. As a parent, it is natural to feel disappointed when your child does not come up to your expectations," Aasima Jan said. She however said that the high expectations of parents should not make the child a victim of depression. "Class 10th exam is just a first step in the educational journey of these children. This is not the end of life. Life will provide more opportunities, with more chances and more ways to excel," Aasima Jan said. She said the parents must support their child at this time deal with this setback. "If parents support their child at this time, their kids will bounce back more stronger in future. Parents must tell their children that failures are not opposite to success but are actually part of success," she said. She said there were many people who did not qualify normal exams but proved their worth in life after facing setbacks. "Parents must put in their efforts. Embrace their child, support them instead of letting them down," she said. As the JKBOSE declared the result of class 10th and 12th class examination, the stakeholders and society at large pour praise and attention on the top performers while there was a deafening silence surrounding those who do not pass the examination. The move raised a serious concern, particularly about the way children are being brought up. It raised big question that: âAre we preparing our students to be strong enough to cope with the failure?â

Suhail Khan Baramulla, Jan 6: A young aerospace engineer from Sopore in north Kashmirâs Baramulla district is proving that dedication and ambition can propel one to global heights. Munaf-ul-Raquib who holds a B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering, has gained international recognition for his research on black holes and cosmology. Munaf-ul-Raquib revealed that his paper on the thermodynamics of black holes was recently published in the International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR). âAbout a year ago, I conducted research on the gravity of black holes and cosmology, which has now been published in IJSR,â he said. He said that since his research was published in the international journal, he has been receiving opportunities from various countries to participate in research dialogues. Raquib added that in the coming months he is scheduled to participate in international conferences in Paris on April 16 and later in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Sopore aerospace engineer noted that he is also participating in various conferences across different countries. Speaking about his research, Munaf-ul-Raquib addressed a fundamental paradox in astrophysics: how black holes can appear to violate thermodynamic laws, particularly concerning entropy.âIf we observe a black hole, it seems to contradict thermodynamic principles,â he said. Using the frameworks of Anti-de Sitter space (AdS) and Conformal Field Theory (CFT), Raqeebâs research proposes a theoretical model that reconciles black hole mechanics with thermodynamics. âIn this paper, I have explained how a black hole can function without violating thermodynamic laws,â he said. He described the achievement as both personal and symbolic. âIt is a proud moment for me to represent my state, especially Sopore, on an international platform,â he said. Raqeeb shared that Astrophysics was his childhood dream, and his grandfather encouraged me immensely. "After my grandfather passed away during the Covid-19 pandemic, my parents continued to champion my aspirations. My parents left no stone unturned in helping me pursue my dreams,â he said. He said that his academic path included taking the JEE and later the AME CET entrance exams, through which he secured a seat in aerospace engineering at the Nasik Research Centre. âMy parents not only supported me morally but also created an environment where I could pursue my dreams freely,â he said. He emphasized the role of family in nurturing talent. âJust as my parents supported me, it is the responsibility of all parents to help their children follow their dreams.â âYoung people should avoid wrong practices. They must dream of a beautiful tomorrow but work hard today to make their parents proud,â he further added.
