Invitees include almost 25 parties, however, 20 opposition parties, including the Congress, expressed their absence from the event.

A joint celebration of religion, culture and communal harmony, the annual Mela Kheer Bhawani unites Kashmiri Pandits and Kashmiri Muslims. This event will be held at Tullamulla Shrine in Ganderbal district, 27 km away from Srinagar.

She also stressed the value of preserving and promoting the ancient practices of the region carefully for future generations.

On the other hand, the Rural Kashmir Traffic Police department has issued a route plan for vehicles heading to the shrine.

No Need for Constructing a New Parliament: Nitish

Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has recently come out against the proposal of building a new parliament building. According to Kumar, there is no real need for a new parliament building as the existing one is already a symbol of India’s glorious history. He even compared the current situation to the one in Bihar, where an existing Legislative building was extended with new construction in order to accommodate more space.

Additionally, Nitish Kumar had previously voiced his opposition against the building of a new parliament and alleged that the Narendra Modi Government was trying to change the nation’s history.

The Chief Minister also recalled the time when the BJP was a coalition partner of the government, questioning why they did not raise the issue or suggest to the government to invite the Governor for the inauguration of the extended building of the state legislature.

Apart from that, Nitish Kumar also spoke about his attendance of the Niti Aayog meeting. He shared that he was preoccupied with other engagements and had shared with the Centre much earlier about his inability to attend the meeting. He mentioned that the meeting could have been scheduled in the afternoon instead and expressed his disappointment at the Centre’s lack of response to Bihar’s multiple requests for special status.

Narendra Modi’s Government has been in power for almost seven years, and in that time, they have shown to be open to state requests and construction projects. While Nitish Kumar brings up a justified point against the building of a new parliament building, the question remains if the current one is sufficient enough to hold the nation’s history or if a new one would be necessary.

Nitish Kumar is an Indian politician who served as the Chief Minister of Bihar from 2017 to 2020. He is a member of the Janata Dal (United) party and was previously the Chief Minister of Bihar from 2005 to 2014. He has also served as the President of the Janta Dal (U) party since 2016. Kumar has been active in voicing his political opinion, especially matters regarding the development of Bihar. He also plays an important role in the government, where his role as an experienced leader is often put to use.

Parties in Jammu and Kashmir Divided as NIA Demands the Death Penalty for Yasin Malik

Political parties in Jammu and Kashmir have varied opinions regarding National Investigating Agency’s (NIA’s) plea to the Delhi High Court, asking for death sentence for Kashmiri separatist leader and chief of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, Yasin Malik. Mehbooba Mufti, the leader of the People’s Democratic Party, asserted that a case of a political prisoner such as Malik should be reviewed and reconsidered whereas the chief of Apni Party, Altaf Bukhari, suggested that deterrent measures should be taken against any individual that threatens national security.

The NIA recently approached the Delhi High Court, seeking capital punishment for Yasin Malik, who earlier pleaded guilty in a terror funding case and was sentenced to life imprisonment by a special NIA court in May 2020. The court will hear the matter on Monday.

Responding to the news, Altaf Bukhari said on Twitter that the NIA’s appeal for asking for the death penalty for Yasin Malik highlights the urgency of addressing militant funding in Jammu and Kashmir. He also stated that deterrent measures should be taken against those that are attempting to put India’s security in jeopardy. The Apni Party also works for making Jammu and Kashmir conflict-free, provides relief to the people affected by it, and encourages all-round development.

On the other hand, the former leader of the People’s Democratic Party, Mehbooba Mufti, has written on Twitter that in a democracy like India, even the assassins of a Prime Minister have been pardoned, thus, the case of a political prisoner such as Yasin Malik should be reviewed and reconsidered. Her tweet also links the new political leaders who are “gleefully” supporting the hanging of Malik as a “grave threat” to the collective rights of everyone.

This situation implies that a resolution for the matter will be crucial in the following week. The approach taken by the J&K political parties might set the precedence for any similar situation that may arise in the future.

Review and Reconsideration of Yasin Malik’s Case Requested by Mehbooba

After the National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed an appeal to the Delhi High Court to seek the death penalty for Kashmiri separatist leader and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Yasin Malik on Friday, leaders of both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peoples Conference (PC) responded in dismay. PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti said that the case must be “reviewed and reconsidered,” while PC chairman Sajad Lone termed the NIA plea as “dangerous.”

PDP leader and former colleague Altaf Bukhari, meanwhile, tweeted that “deterrent measures” should be taken against those “trying to threaten” the country’s security.

The dispute arose after an NIA court in May 2020 convicted Malik of terror funding. Reacting harshly to Bukari’s support for Malik’s hanging, Mehbooba Mufti said that the ” new political ikhwan [renegades] gleefully supporting his hanging are a grave threat to our collective rights”, claiming that a democracy like India pardoned the assassins of its Prime Minister and that political prisoners must have their cases reviewed and reconsidered.

Sajad Lone of the Peoples Conference condemned the NIA’s plea as dangerous, citing Yasin Malik’s past and how he was pushed to take up arms “by those who filled the graveyards” following the 1987 elections, and the desperate Chief Minister of that era who sought to sabotage any attempts of reconciliation. He urged for an end to the experiments, stating that the people of Jammu and Kashmir need oxygen, asking “is it always the poor man’s son who has to face the law, who has to face the gallows?”

While the situation in Jammu and Kashmir remains tense, a humanistic degree of justice must be applied here. We must remember that justice is not only about punishing the wrong, but also about recognizing and rectifying the damage done. Leaders in the PDP, PC, NIA, and beyond must prioritize fairness and inclusivity in their acts and decisions for society.

On Saturday, Union minister Anurag Thakur referenced the remarkable transformations witnessed over the past nine years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, attributing it to the undeniable power of the people’s vote. Speaking at a conclave in New Delhi to mark nine years of the BJP-led NDA government, Thakur noted India’s ascent from a corrupt economy to one of the world’s leading economies under Modi’s tenure, stating that such transformation would not have been possible without the strong government and decisive leadership that the people chose through their votes.

Moreover, the Minister celebrated the Government’s emphasis on ‘last mile delivery’ of public services, lauding the priceless value added through its incorporation of technology, transparency and accountability. Vaishnaw, the Minister of Railways, Communications, Electronics and Information Technology echoed this sentiment, pointing to the drastic improvements that have been seen in the lives of the poor through programmes such as ‘pucca homes’ for 3.5 crore recipients, tap water connections for 12 crore households and cooking gas connections for 9.6 crore homes.

The discussion also reflected on the vivid display of India’s commitment to national security and scrapping of colonial legacies by way of projects such as the ‘Kartavya Path’ and the upcoming inauguration of a new Parliament building which serve as a temple of democracy. Vaishnaw also mentioned Prime Minister Modi’s account of building a toilet in every household during his speech on Independence Day as a watershed moment in the fields of female safety and sanitation, the success of which is evident in the 11.72 crore toilets built today.

Doordarshan, an Indian public service broadcaster, organised the conclave which was attended by industrialists, celebrities, sportsperson and environmentalists alike. This marks a period of celebration of the incredible results the BJP government has seen in the past nine years, with the hope that with the same decisive backing of the people, India will blossom into a fully developed nation by 2047.
