On the night of 28 April 1990, terrorists arrived at the home of Kashmiri Poet Sh Sarwanand Kaul. Terrorists gathered all the members of the family together and offered a pretext: they claimed to be looking for someone called Ghulam Rasool. Then they looted the house systematically. They took gold, jewellery, Pashmina shawls, and clothes bought for an upcoming family wedding. They entered Sh Sarwanand’s library and took literary manuscripts and works in progress. Then came the demand: Sarwanand Kaul Premi must come with them to meet their commander. His younger son, Virender Kaul, refused to let his father go alone. He insisted on going with him. The extremists agreed. Father and son walked out into the darkness of 28 April 1990 and did not come back. #OnThisDay in 1990, their bodies were found hanging from a tree. Their arms & legs had been broken. Their eyes had been gouged and what not .. Verinder Kaul left behind a young widow and an infant son, 18 months old. This forced the Kaul family to leave Kashmir, never to return and people in Kashmir today blame Sh Jagmohan Malhotra for the exodus of the Kashmiri Hindus. There was no protest in #Kashmir then and all this happened in the thought process of "Raliv, Galiv ya Chaliv"..








Archives | We then came to the matter of the PDP’s origins. I asked Hassan Mir if the party was the creation of the centre. “Maybe the intelligence agencies supported Mufti but it was not known to anybody down below,” he said, not confirming that rumour, yet betraying no surprise whatsoever at the speculated scenario. “No intelligence agent ever told me to do anything, though I have always been close with the centre. Maybe Mufti got some facilitation from them, but not to my knowledge.” At the end of September, I met Liaqat Ali Khan, a 46-year-old former commander of the Ikhwan, the counter-insurgency group, at his house in a high-security colony for police officers in the town of Khanabal, near Anantnag. In 1998, the year before the PDP was formed, Khan and other fellow Ikhwanis had joined the BJP. (He has since quit the party.) He told me about a meeting he had with LK Advani around that time. Khan and the others had been reining in militants since 1994, and now they wanted to retire as politicians. For this, they sought Advani’s support. Sayeed’s name cropped up in his conversation with Advani. “When we went to meet Advani in Delhi, he asked us ‘What is Mufti all about?’” Khan told me, remembering that he responded, “Mufti is with the militants.” Khan assumed that knowledge of Sayeed’s links with militant groups would dissuade the BJP from supporting him. But he now believes that he read the conversation wrong, and that the BJP was interested in Sayeed precisely because of those connections. Khan told me he didn’t realise “that we had seconded what Mufti had already sold them. We should have been smarter. Mufti had told the BJP and the RSS that he will get the Hizbul, Hurriyat and other separatists to the table.” Khan said he didn’t receive support from the BJP, while the party threw its weight behind Sayeed. “Ajit Doval was the joint director of IB here at that time,” Khan said. “We were young when these things happened. We didn’t understand the game plan. All the government of India agencies, and all the assets they had, be it RAW, the IB and others, got a directive to support the new party.” This support continued into the 2002 elections, he said. By his account, the army was roped in to gather information that could help the party’s candidates. “The army did an exercise and they asked all the company commanders for feedback from the village level,” Khan said. “They had recommended the issues that should be raised in the elections for getting support.” Read the profile of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed by Praveen Donthi: caravanmagazine.in/reportage/the-…

#WATCH | Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC candidate from Bhabanipur Assembly constituency, Mamata Banerjee, says, "Look how our worker was beaten up at night. Just look at this atrocity. What kind of hooliganism is going on? Voting does not happen like this. Voting happens peacefully. It is a festival of democracy. But they have completely ruined it. The intention is very clear that the BJP wants to forcefully rig the election. Our workers and people are ready to die, but they will not leave the place."









Every single day the j&k government acts as a mute bystander & a timid enabler of vicious assaults on J&Ks identity & dignity. Declaring Dar Ul Uloom Jamia Siraj Ul Uloom as an unlawful entity under UAPA is a flagrant injustice to the poor underprivileged sections of society. This institution served as a beacon of quality education for students unable to afford expensive schooling. It has produced reputed doctors and professionals who served this nation with dedication. Banning these altruistic institutions without any solid evidence of anti national activity shows a deep seated prejudice & ill intention.





SIRAJ-UL-ULOOM SHOPIAN BANNED South Kashmir's premier educational institute "Darul Uloom Jamia Siraj-ul-Uloom", based in Shopian and purportedly linked to the outlawed Jamaat-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir and its subsidiary "Falah-e-Aam Trust" (FAT), has been banned by the Union Territory Government under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), 1967. According to an order issued by the Kashmir Divisional Commissioner Anshul Garg, the action is consequent upon a dossier dated 24 March 2026 from SSP Shopian. Charges slapped on the institute include "serious legal, administrative and financial irregularities... questionable land acquisition, lack of mandatory registration with competent authorities, and deliberate attempts to evade statutory oversight". “The cumulative facts and circumstances, supported by intelligence inputs and field verification, provide sufficient grounds to reasonably believe that the premises are being used for the purposes of an unlawful association,” reads the order. According to the Government Order, the institution’s plea of innocence and non-involvement in unlawful activities was found "unsustainable", as available material suggested that it was aware of such activities and failed to take adequate steps to prevent misuse of its premises. The notification empowers the concerned District Magistrate to seize the entire premises and properties of the banned institute and arrange for migration and admission of its students in the District's Government schools. Sources say that the ban on Sirajul Uloom is part of a larger action of banning and seizing 58 educational institutions allegedly linked to Jamaat-e-Islami and FAT in the Kashmir Valley. As many as 215 of such schools of adverse CID reporting have already been closed down during the incumbent Omar Abdullah Government despite resistance of the Minister of Education and bipartisan opposition by the Valley based political parties.
