The 1950 Big Landed Estates Abolition Act was rooted not in communal malice but in the Naya Kashmir Manifesto of 1944, a socialist vision predating Partition itself. The act gave land ownership to roughly six and a half lakh Muslim tillers and two and a half lakh lower caste Hindu tillers who had cultivated these lands for generations. By 1961, around 25,000 poor Hindus in Jammu alone became peasant proprietors under this very legislation. Former Chief Minister Mir Qasim, who helped draft the law, himself stated that critics conveniently ignored that the law equally applied to Muslim landlords and that Hindu tillers in Jammu substantially benefited. Yes, implementation had serious flaws and the Pandit community suffered genuine displacement in 1990. That wound demands honest reckoning. However, conflating a socialist agrarian reform with a deliberate anti Hindu conspiracy distorts verifiable history and ultimately weakens the legitimate cause of justice for Kashmiri Pandits rather than advancing it.

The proposal for implementation of these projects emanates from the decision of the Board of Directors of JKSPDCL in its 76th meeting held on 27.10.2020.
Subsequently, an MoU was signed between JKSPDCL and NHPC on 03.01.2021 when there was no elected government in J&K.

As assembly session continues. J&K govt has handed over two new hydropower projects to NHPC. An agreement has been signed between NHPC Ltd and JKSPDCL to develop the 240 MW Uri-I Stage-II and 260 MW Dulhasti Stage-II projects, with a total capacity of 500 MW. The projects will be executed under the BOOT model for 40 years before being transferred back to the UT. The agreement was signed on March 27, 2026, in Jammu. Under the terms of the MoU, J&K is entitled to over 12 per cent of the electricity generated from NHPC-operated projects. The rest is transferred to the power grid from which the J&K government buys at market rates to bridge the energy deficit. In 2006, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh set up working groups on Jammu and Kashmir on economic development led by former Reserve Bank of India Governor C. Rangarajan. The group recommended the transfer of Dulhasti and Bursar projects to Jammu and Kashmir, but the request was not heeded. It was followed by a cabinet sub-committee set up by the then National Conference (NC)-led government in 2011 to examine the terms under which hydroelectric projects were shifted to NHPC. The panel recommended the development of the Uri-II project by the state government after the ownership transfer. Also, it put a condition for the construction of the Dulhasti Hydro Project II, subject to the transfer of ownership of the Dulhasti Stage-I project to the state.

Everything you say before the 'but' is irrelevant.
If Doctor Sahab was attacked today by a hatemonger, any one of us can be next. Don't shield the majoritarian hate by your whataboutery. Business shouldn't come in the way of conscience.

While we condemn the attack on Farooq Abdullah sahab and question the security lapse, we have direct questions for the CM @OmarAbdullah Why has he compromised security of senior opposition leaders? Snatching of the house of former CM Mehbooba ji, who doesn’t have her own house, was an attempt to murder by government, yet the CM has deliberately ignored her entitlement after elections. Security is insurance in J&K, non-negotiable. When 90 MLAs are engaged in safeguarding the nation cause, security cannot be compromised. The CM must answer why Sajad Lone was served notice to vacate and @JmuKmrPolice must explain why PCC Chiefs Tariq Qarra’s security was downgraded.

The weather was confused all day
so who can say why it was just then
the light fell that way -
This stanza from The Light Fell by Owen Sheers feels fitting for the sun, wind, hail, grey we’ve had the past few days! Here one of the brighter moments

Wishing you all a blessed Eid-Ul-Fitr.
JKNC@JKNC_
Party President Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Vice President & Chief Minister Omar Abdullah extend warm greetings to the people of J&K and across the country on this blessed occasion. May this auspicious time bring peace, happiness, and prosperity to you and your loved ones, filling your homes with warmth and your hearts with contentment.

NC’s “LAND GRANTS BILL”: RELIEF FOR BIG HOTELS, NOT PUBLIC FAIRNESS
The Jammu & Kashmir National Conference is pushing a new land grants bill in the upcoming Assembly session—ostensibly a reform, but in reality a bailout for big hotels like NEDOUS in Gulmarg, operating on leased government land in violation of the 2022 Land Grant Rules.
These rules clearly state that expired long-term leases must be surrendered and re-auctioned, ensuring fair access. Instead, the proposed bill seeks to restore old lease protections, letting established hotels bypass transparent public allocation.
Under the guise of reform, the legislation favors entrenched interests, not fairness or the public good.
English
Translation-We should allow a country-wide open bidding for all lease grants ensuring that our local hotel industry & business & residential community is obliterated. And the first right protection clauses that all other State laws have should NOT be extended to people from J&K.

When the Shopian railway line was proposed, Ms. Mufti was quick to say that the NC had failed. When the rail line was halted, PDP was even quicker to thank the Central government.
The same B-team playbook.
Why can't the PDP name the office holding up the reservation file?
