This unfortunate incident should never have taken place. I hope the Haryana government lead by @NayabSainiBJP ji & @police_haryana catch the culprits & take action to ensure these things don’t happen again.

Had J&K been a state the IAS officer seen abusing a young JKAS officer would have been attached to the General Administration Department pending an inquiry into his conduct. As a UT we expect the authorities with control over the IAS officers to set the right example & ensure abusive, threatening behaviour is not brushed under the carpet.

I’ve seen the video of the online government meeting that is circulating on social media. Prima facie the conduct of the senior officer was not in keeping with the standards expected of a senior IAS officer & the subsequent threats issued to a junior JKAS officer only make matters worse. I’ve taken this up in the strongest possible terms with the Chief Secretary. Unfortunately as a UT control over IAS officers rests with Lok Bhavan but as CM I’ve instructed the CS to ensure the JKAS officer faces no retributive action.

This is pure control of the pulpit. A state-linked board deciding Friday sermon topics turns living faith into managed talking points. The mimbar is not a government notice board. Mimbar belongs to the scholars and the people. This needs to stop. Period !

The reports suggesting an attempt to exercise control over Friday sermons in Kashmir's mosques are a matter of grave concern and call for serious reflection. Have we reached a point where even the words spoken from the pulpit of a mosque are to be subjected to political scrutiny? Will @BJP4India now determine the subjects our Imams may address, the concerns they may raise and the issues they must remain silent about? A mosque is not an instrument of political messaging, nor can its pulpit become a mouthpiece for any government or political organisation. As a Muslim who believes in moderation, tolerance and mutual respect, I find the prospect of such intrusion into our religious space profoundly disturbing. This is not about promoting extremism or resisting accountability. It is about safeguarding the fundamental right of religious communities to practise and articulate their faith without political dictates. Our Imams and religious scholars carry a responsibility towards their faith and society. Their sermons must be shaped by religious teachings, moral values and the needs of the community, not by instructions originating from political corridors. There must be a clear distinction between the authority of the State and the sanctity of religious institutions. Crossing that boundary would set a deeply worrying precedent. @drdarakhshan

“The pulpit is for preaching Islam and its teachings, not for deciding sermons through directives from the BJP. The order directing imams on what to preach should be withdrawn,” says NC chief spokesperson @tanvirsadiq @JKNC_ Reports @sahil_iqball

Now @BJP4India will DRAFT Friday sermons for mosques across Kashmir. They will decide what issues our preachers will talk about, what color they will give them and what issues are brushed under the carpet. The content will be theirs, the wording will be theirs and the intent will be theirs. I am not a fundamentalist but the Muslim that I am refuses to gilp this down. I am sure our religious leaders including @MirwaizKashmir oppose this with tooth and nail.

This is an unacceptable attempt by the BJP to interfere in the religious affairs of Muslims and will not be accepted under any circumstances. The BJP appointed Chairperson must immediately halt this misplaced attempt to please her masters.

Great to see tens of thousands march with the INDIA bloc in Delhi today demanding that the democratic rights of citizens are protected. We stand together in this fight.

Unacceptable use of force by Delhi Police. Beating up an unarmed protestor, setting aside the fact that in this case the victim is actually an elected member of parliament, is unacceptable under any circumstances & is indefensible. I join all my @JKNC_ colleagues in condemning this reprehensible brutality.

Kashmir model has been exported to Delhi. Welcome to the New Delhi, modelled on New Jammu & Kashmir.

Chief Minister today virtually addressed the J&K Global Capability Centres (GCCs) Summit 2026 at IIM Jammu. Organised by IIM Jammu in partnership with the J&K Government and NASSCOM, the two-day summit brings together over 300 global industry leaders, policymakers and academics to advance Jammu & Kashmir’s emergence as a hub for technology and knowledge-based industries. Highlighting J&K’s educated youth, premier academic institutions, competitive operating costs, improved connectivity and quality of life, the Chief Minister underlined its potential to attract global enterprises and retain talent. He emphasised that GCCs can connect local talent with global opportunities, expand access to world-class skilling and employment, and drive sustained economic growth. The Chief Minister assured investors of full Government support, single-window facilitation, and an enabling policy framework to build a sustainable capability hub in J&K.

H.E. Mr M. Riaz Hamidullah, High Commissioner of Bangladesh to India, called on the Chief Minister today at the Civil Secretariat, Srinagar. During the meeting, they exchanged views on a wide range of issues.

Wishing my dear friend & colleague @nasirsogami a very happy birthday. May Allah bless you with a long life, good health and many more adventures together with the rest of us.

Best wishes to team @NDTV on relaunch of its logo, a new look and tagline. NDTV is the pioneer of TV journalism in India and was, until a few years ago, considered a benchmark of good journalism. With its brand relaunch, I hope it lives upto its huge legacy and ideals it was build on.

Wishing my young colleague & former DDC member Lolab/Sogam @LoneNasir_ a very happy birthday & all best wishes for a bright future. Keep shining Nasir.
