Yesterday, during an unfortunate and heated debate on X, certain words unintentionally became part of the discussion, which may have hurt the sentiments of some sections. In the heat of the moment, both sides may have crossed the boundaries of decency. It was unfortunate and unintended. I sincerely apologise for the incident and regret any hurt caused to anyone.

During a heated discussion, certain words were spoken, some perhaps in context, others out of context. If anything I said, intentionally or unintentionally, was perceived as unacceptable, hurtful, or below the standards of decency, I sincerely apologise. I never intended to cross that line. At the same time, to everyone who, following the incident, worst than that which hurt them was said about me and my deseased. Does the dignity of a family carry different weight depending on its influence, status or proximity to power? Are the families of ordinary people entitled to any less respect? I hold no grudges. I forgive them all. Disagreements are part of public discourse, but dignity, restraint and humanity must always prevail. Let us move forward without carrying bitterness. Extending my sincere apologies.

LAALA DI LAALI Whether the news is confirmed or merely a rumour hardly makes a difference; what makes it interesting is the unusual use of the Arabic word “RUWA” in contemporary political discourse. In a Kashmiri Wazwan Saal, once the Traami is placed, nobody seems certain which three will get to sit along. For most, the seating arrangement is never the issue. The real art lies in adjusting oneself to remain within the coterie, regardless of who sits where.

Will Srinagar finally get a representative in Parliament this time? Will a son of Srinagar make it to Parliament, representing the aspirations, concerns and voice of the people? Who would be your choice to represent Srinagar in the Lok Sabha? Share your opinion. Who deserves your support?

Anyone found high on NADRU (lotus stem) seems to be busy trying to make a LOTUS bloom. Kashmir needs genuine political change, not another season of political intoxication and manufactured drama. Twenty-five years in a political party, enjoying its platform, mandate and political space, and suddenly discovering that the organisation is undemocratic and its leadership is compromised? What a convenient political awakening. A resignation does not erase one's political history, nor does it automatically turn personal grievances into a struggle for principles. A new phase of politics seems to be unfolding, where manufacturing trolls and turning a handful of followers into online attack squads is being marketed as political change. Before questioning other's credibility, these self-proclaimed champions of renewed politics must look at their own political record. An MLA who secured around 30,000 votes could not even mobilise one-third of that support for the November gathering, despite the Central Kashmir Parliamentary Constituency having witnessed a mandate of nearly 3.5 lakh votes. And let's get one thing straight: the November gathering was meant for supporters from across Jammu and Kashmir, not an exclusive show of strength for one constituency or one political camp. Disagreement is democratic, but turning personal differences into a political spectacle and deploying online followers to silence critics is hardly the political transformation being advertised. Political credibility is earned through public trust, consistency and a demonstrable connection with people. It cannot be manufactured through hashtags, troll armies and selective arithmetic. A few loud voices on social media do not represent Kashmir. A handful of online followers cannot be passed off as a political revolution. If this is the much-advertised change, people are entitled to ask: where is the substance behind all the noise?

What exactly is NON HALAL powers?. Locally it is HARAMI POWERS, fear enough, but could not recognise them, Can you people tell me if you even found any resemblance. Secondly writing BLASTED is demeaning the martyrdom. I condemn such language.

HOUSEHOLD HELPERS. In Islam, the sanctity of a Muslim home is not merely about walls and doors; it is also about modesty, privacy and observing the boundaries of Mahram and Na-Mahram relationships. Providing unrestricted access to Na-Mahram men and women within family spaces, without regard for Shariah guidelines, raises serious questions about our understanding and practice of Islamic values. Modern arrangements should never become an excuse to compromise the principles of modesty, dignity and family privacy. Islamic values must be practised, not merely preached.
