@ZafarChoudhary_ In a UT setup, everyone knows where the real power lies. @parawahid s move looks more like messaging, while @ghulamnazad actually turned demands into decisions.

It is understandable that a Private Member’s Bill, howsoever consequential, tabled by an Opposition MLA whose party has only three members in the Legislature will never see day of the light. However, Waheed ur Rehman Parra’s attempt has initiated a debate that is important from the perspective of genuine desires for a fairly balanced, accessible and non discriminatory structure of administration where territorial boundaries are carved on the basis of needs and not political considerations. A demand for creation of four new districts in Jammu Division was there since 1970s which saw politically vibrant, mostly peaceful and sometime violent public movements over the decades. Since Ghulam Nabi Azad, as Chief Minister, wanted the Jammu region to take pride in his regional background, he also asserted that it was only he who could address this demand. He did in 2006 but by balancing out Kashmir with equal number of districts whether or not required at those places. This unnecessary balancing which leans more on the politics of the day than the merit cannot keep on going endlessly. Similarly, the carving out of new Assembly constituencies, not only in terms of numbers but also how population components were packaged, leaned more towards Jammu to address ‘historical sentiments’. Parra’s Bill seeks new Divisions and Districts at some places which deserve these units very genuinely but no one ever had the courage to raise demand, his list also carries names of some places which are there merely for political expediency. Nevertheless, in this age of every issue getting discussed, debated and critiqued on social media irrespective of whatever happens in Assembly, there is a good debate that is already going on. In my opinion, even a new Tehsil in ‘naya’ Jammu and Kashmir, leave aside Division and Districts, will probably see a practical shape only after the Ministry of Home Affairs sees a reason. What stand NC and BJP take in the Assembly will, unfortunately, not matter! For Omar Abdullah government to make a strong case, they should constitute a commission to investigate the demands and make well researched recommendations. @parawahid

@PTI_News Two leaders were adjusted in power only to dilute the voice of the elected winner @sajadlone

Kindly don't pay attention to the rumors.

Did you know? How many new degree colleges were established in Jammu and Kashmir during @ghulamnazad's tenure as Chief Minister? Under the visionary leadership of DPAP Chairman and Former CM Jenab Ghulam Nabi Azad, Jammu and Kashmir witnessed significant educational progress, including the establishment of numerous new degree colleges. This foundation has been crucial for the region's academic and professional development. Azad Sahib's leadership continues to drive DPAP's commitment to the progress and development of Jammu and Kashmir and its people. Together, we shall rebuild Jammu and Kashmir. #RebuildJammuAndKashmir #DPAP #GhulamNabiAzad @DPAP_office

Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad Ji, Former Union Minister, former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and Former Leader of Opposition(Rajya Sabha), called on the Hon'ble Vice-President, Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar at Vice-President's Enclave today. @ghulamnazad

A devastating fire in South Kashmir’s #Anantnag has gutted ten residential houses and eight shops. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Urgent measures must be taken to investigate the cause and implement precautions to prevent such incidents in the future. #SouthKashmir #Fire #JammuAndKashmir

Shocked and saddened by the untimely passing of Aroot Madni, son of PDP senior leader Sartaj Madni sahib and cousin of @MehboobaMufti Ji. My heartfelt condolences to Sartaj sahib, Mehbooba Ji, and the entire family. May Allah grant him Jannat ul Firdous and give strength to his parents and family to bear this loss. Ameen!

The abrogation of #Articles_370 and #35A represents a significant breach of our historical and cultural legacy, executed for political expediency at the expense of our identity. The delimitation process further fragmented our state and deeply affected the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The cherished sentiment, "Jis Kashmir ko khoon se seecha, vo Kashmir hamara hai," was disregarded. It was only DPAP Chairman Jenab @ghulamnazad, who stood resolutely in defense of our rights. Now, it is important that we collectively advocate for the restoration of #statehood for Jammu and Kashmir. Together, we shall rebuild Jammu and Kashmir. #RebuildJammuAndKashmir #AzadForJAndK #LokSabhaElection2024 @DPAP_office @SalmanNizami_ @QaiserJin @TajMohiuddin3 @rs_chib @Advashok1956 @dasujkofficial @GMSaroori @AmirBhat_ @saleemparay

Till the day of Qayamat, Azan will continue. No one can stop it!

"I will join the party which can end the ongoing unemployment crisis in Kashmir." Ghulam Nabi Azad on Tuesday spoke to Suhail Dar of The Kashmiriyat on the sidelines of his visit to Kokernag falling under the Anantnag- Rajouri Parliamentary seat.

Today, I addressed gatherings in the roadshows at Bijbehara Anantnag. It was inspiring to see the enthusiasm for change among the youth—they are our future. We must tackle unemployment, a major concern. Together, we'll drive change and ensure peace in Kashmir.

In an exclusive conversation with #News18JKLH on the election percentage in Srinagar Lok Sabha seat, #DPAP chief #GhulamNabiAzad said that according to me, voting has not taken place as much as it should have... @ghulamnazad @DPAP_office @Wangu_News18
