The National Conference, led by Omar Abdullah, passed two resolutions today, urging the central government to respect the people's mandate in Jammu and Kashmir and condemning the Waqf (Amendment) Bill. This decision followed a two-hour meeting amid escalating tensions between Abdullah's government and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha's office, particularly over the transfer of 48 Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Service officers, which the National Conference claims undermines their authority. Abdullah emphasized that their desire for cordial relations should not be misinterpreted as weakness, stating, “It can't be business as usual.” This conflict arises just days before Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to the region to assess security amid rising terrorist activities. Additionally, concerns linger over the delay in restoring Jammu and Kashmir's statehood, with the National Conference seeking clarity from the Centre on the timeline for discussions promised after the Maharashtra Assembly elections.

The investigation, supported by multiple countries affected by the attacks, underscores the complex interconnections between Pakistani military elements and terrorist operations, posing challenges for securing convictions against Rana. His revelations could also serve Pakistan's interests in understanding these dynamics.

Published: Apr 11 2025, 11 ameznews.inThe recent Congress session in Ahmedabad, while marked by symbolic gestures, failed to present a substantive roadmap for the party's revival amid ongoing electoral setbacks. Senior leaders expressed disappointment, noting a lack of progress since a 2020 letter advocating for reform. Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor highlighted the need for the Congress to evolve from its historical focus and resonate with younger voters, who prioritize future aspirations over past glories. The session emphasized historical symbolism, with resolutions aimed at reclaiming national icons like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel from the BJP, which the Congress accused of a “well-planned conspiracy” to appropriate their legacy. While the party made strides in challenging the BJP's nationalism narrative and addressing religious violence, internal divisions remain over the emphasis on caste issues. Ultimately, Tharoor urged the Congress to adopt a positive, forward-looking agenda, a call that went largely unheeded during the session.
