Terror victims families finally get justice: LG Sinha
Srinagar, Aug 05: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday handed over appointment letters to 37 Next of Kins (NoKs) of civilians who were brutally killed by terrorists, describing it as a profound honour to stand with the families of terror victims on this historic day. It is not merely about appointment letters, butit is about remembrance of martyrs, justice to terror victim families, and the reaffirmation ofour national will, Sinha said. My heartfelt tribute to the innocent civilians martyred by terrorists, and I salute the families who, after decades of anguish and wait, now hold appointment letters that restore dignity and livelihood. For several decades, the pain of terror victim families remained unacknowledged, their wounds unseen. Terrorism tore apart homes and cast futures into uncertainty, the LG added. The Lieutenant Governor said the appointment letters are not just documents of employment but symbols of social justice, recognition, and the nation's solemn promise that its martyrs will never be forgotten nor their families abandoned. He also said thatafterAugust 5, 2019, the government has dismantled the terrorecosystem to a large extent,strengthened law and order, restored equal rights, and created opportunitiesthat allowfamilies to rebuild their lives with confidence. Today's appointment letters are not just documents of employment, but they are symbols of social justice, recognition and the nation's solemn promise that its martyrs will never be forgotten, nor their families abandoned, the Lieutenant Governor said. Sinha said that the terror victim families receiving appointment letters today are among the many beneficiaries of the new order post-abrogation of Article 370. Their cases, delayed for decades, have finally been addressed. This is not compensation for loss because no money, no job, no paper can replace a loved one. It is, however, an assurance that the nation stands beside them and we are determined to help rebuild lives and restore dignity, he said. Reaffirming the government's commitment, the Lieutenant Governor said, We are absolutely resolved to dismantle the terror network, to bring its perpetrators and enablers to justice and to secure for every citizen of UT a life of peace, equality, and hope. He said that by ending the system that bred discrimination and terrorism, Prime Minister Modi made it clear that in Jammu and Kashmir, lamps of prosperity would burn not only in select palaces but also in the huts of the poor. After 33 years, a lamp has been lit in the home of martyr Wali Mohammad Wani of Shopian. On 16 July 1993, Wali Mohammad was killed by terrorists' bullets. Today, not only his family but the entire Shopian feels connected to the national mainstream, Sinha said. The Lieutenant Governor observed that peace must be anchored in opportunity. A society that trusts its institutions becomes resilient against fear. A family that receives services without discrimination becomes a stakeholder in peace and progress. A youth empowered with education and employment is empowered to fight separatism and terrorism. Appointment letters were also handed over to 32 beneficiaries under Compassionate Appointment Rules SRO-43 and Rehabilitation Assistance Scheme (RAS). The event was attended by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, DGP Nalin Prabhat, and other senior officials.

Jharkhand Students vs Government: 'Bewajah Ka Natak' or Fight for Justice?
For 12 days, hundreds of students have continued their sit-in protest in Ranchi despite relentless rain, muddy grounds and difficult conditions. On Day 2 of their hunger strike, thousands marched with the Tricolour, sang the national anthem and raised slogans demanding justice. Their demands are clear: cancellation of the JPSC examination results, a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in recruitment exams, and a direct conversation with Chief Minister Hemant Soren. But even as students say they are fighting for a fair recruitment system, a state minister dismissed the agitation as ewajah ka natak. The political response has also come under scrutiny, with protests over student issues taking place in Delhi and Chandigarh while demonstrators in Ranchi continue their struggle on the ground. Is this merely politics, or are these students raising genuine concerns about transparency and trust in the recruitment process? This NDTV ground report brings voices from the protest site and examines the questions surrounding one of Jharkhand's biggest student movements in recent years.

Govt jobs for terror victims kin a step towards justice, rehabilitation: LG Sinha
Srinagar, Aug 05 : Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday said providing government jobs to the next of kin (NoKs) of civilian terror victims is a significant step towards justice, rehabilitation and dignified livelihood, asserting that the administration is committed to ensuring every eligible terror-affected family receives support while continuing efforts to eradicate terrorism from Jammu and Kashmir. Addressing a function at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) here, where appointment letters were distributed among the NoKs of civilian terror victims, Sinha, according to the news agencyKashmir News Observer (KNO), described the occasion as an emotional milestone for families who had waited for decades for justice. Paying tributes to innocent civilians killed in terrorist violence, the Lieutenant Governor said no government job or financial assistance could compensate for the loss of a loved one, but extending dignified employment to affected families was the governments responsibility. We are committed to ensuring that every eligible terror victim family receives justice and rehabilitation. No compensation can replace a loved one, but it is our duty to help these families live with dignity, he said. Reaffirming the administrations resolve to eliminate terrorism, Sinha said the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Army, CRPF and civil administration were working in close coordination to dismantle the terror ecosystem. Terrorism must end completely. It is necessary not only for the government and security forces but for every common citizen of Jammu and Kashmir. We are determined to uproot terrorism and ensure those responsible are brought to justice, he said. Referring to the constitutional changes of August 5, 2019, the Lieutenant Governor said they marked a historic turning point for Jammu and Kashmir by ending discrimination and extending equal constitutional rights to all sections of society. He said more than 890 Central laws became applicable in the Union Territory following the changes. Quoting Union Home Minister Amit Shahs speech in Parliament on August 5, 2019, Sinha said Shah had noted that more than 41,849 people had lost their lives to terrorism, adding that the constitutional changes had strengthened democracy and ensured equal rights in Jammu and Kashmir. Highlighting instances of delayed justice, Sinha said the family of Wali Mohammad Wani of Shopian, who was killed by terrorists in 1993, received relief after 33 years, while the families of Abdul Hamid Bhat of Kupwara and Farooq Ahmad Mir of Tral secured government jobs after waiting for more than two decades. He said the administration had also restored land and property to several terror victim families and was examining pending cases with sensitivity, assuring that every genuine and eligible family would receive justice. The Lieutenant Governor said governance in Jammu and Kashmir had become transparent and merit-based, ensuring accountability in recruitment and public service delivery. The youth of Jammu and Kashmir do not seek sympathy; they seek opportunities. They have the talent to compete, innovate, build startups and excel in education and sports like the youth in the rest of the country, he said. Recalling an interaction with a student from Kupwara, Sinha said academic sessions that once stretched to nearly seven years because of disruptions were now being completed within the prescribed three years, reflecting improved governance and normalcy. Highlighting the Union Territorys developmental progress over the past few years, he said Jammu and Kashmir had witnessed major improvements in infrastructure, including roads, tunnels, airports, educational institutions and healthcare facilities, creating new opportunities for youth. The Lieutenant Governor said the government was working to build a society governed by the rule of law, where disputes were resolved through democratic institutions and dialogue, while lasting peace rested on the foundations of justice, security and equal opportunities. Paying tributes to the personnel of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Army and CRPF who laid down their lives fighting terrorism, Sinha said their sacrifices had strengthened the resolve to build a peaceful, secure and prosperous Jammu and Kashmir. Peoples faith in justice has strengthened. We are committed to ensuring that the painful chapters of history are never repeated and that every citizen lives with dignity, security and hope, he added.(KNO)

Jammu, Aug 4: Jammu and Kashmir unit of the BJP on Tuesday said the abrogation of Article 370 by the Centre on August 5, 2019 was a historic step which laid a firm foundation for peace, transparent governance, investment and inclusive development in the Union Territory. On the eve of the seventh anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370, the BJP said the development has also ensured constitutional equality, social justice and complete integration of J-K with the rest of India. BJP spokespersons Purnima Sharma and Rajni Sethi credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for demonstrating decisive leadership and political courage in taking the landmark decision on August 5, 2019. Both leaders asserted that the decision strengthened the vision of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat and laid a firm foundation for peace, transparent governance, investment and inclusive development in J-K. Prime Minister Modi fulfilled the commitment of one nation, one Constitution and one flag, while Amit Shah played a pivotal role in translating this vision into constitutional reality, Sharma said. She said the Constitution of India became fully applicable to J-K, giving its citizens the same fundamental rights and constitutional safeguards available across the country. Sharma, a former deputy mayor of Jammu, said several progressive central laws relating to education, women's safety, child protection, social justice, disability rights, transparency and accountability were extended or adapted to J-K. She said the three-tier panchayati raj system strengthened grassroots democracy by providing greater participation to local representatives in planning, financial decision-making and development. Referring to the Supreme Court's December 2023 judgment, Sharma said the Constitution bench upheld the presidential measures that rendered Article 370 inoperative, confirming their constitutional validity. Sethi described August 5 as a turning point for women, children and marginalised communities. The Modi government removed constitutional barriers and ensured equal access to progressive national laws. This achievement reflects Modi's determination and Amit Shah's strategic leadership, Sethi said.
