You invented the name Feroze Khan and asked me to review the thread and its posts. Please tell me the post number where you proved that Feroze Gandhi was Feroze Khan. Don't shift the blame onto others when you yourself cannot differentiate between a Parsi and a Muslim. LOL.

Despite repeatedly stating that I have no issue with the names Feroze Ghandy or Feroze Gandhi, you persist in asking this irrelevant question. You introduced the name Feroze Khan, and I am still curious about its origin. Is that difficult to understand? Any irrelevant cross-questioning by you is just a defense mechanism to avoid acknowledging your mistake. As I mentioned earlier, you can admit your error and move on, but your ego is preventing you from doing so. The discussion was not about why his name was changed, but about the origin of Feroze Khan.

Has there been a change in the constitution? Bjp had absolute power lat 5 yrs. Your statement rings hollow. Ind is a strong democracy with checks and balances in place and its not a banana republic like pak. Nithing happened in the last 5 years inspite of all the fearmongering you guys do. The proof is in the pudding i guess

BJP doesn't need to change the constitution yesterday, their aim is to do this as a gradual process, hence why they are campaigning for a significant majority. For now, dog whistle politics and intimidating critics and silencing opposition through trumped up charges is enough.

You dont understand ind parliament then. It can't be a gradual process as you can't predict election results. Say if bjp in rajya sabha and lok sabha gets less number of seats - then what? It's not like pak where election results and voting numbers are changed overnight. Giys drink the cool aid too much here. People still have the option to vote bjp out unlike in some banana republics like you know which ones

Throwing words around like nazi dictatorship is easy.. yes a robust democracy system. Seamless transition of power , biggest election ever, people have a Choice to vote.. so yeah. You guys have no idea about the Congress rule during emergency under indira during the 70s. That was more closer to dictatorship than anything that ind has seen.
If you think about it - the pak establishment is more of a dictatorship than anything else..

You got to real bro.. World war 2 had 75 million casualties- thats mind boggling . Even ind pak partition had 2 million. Personally for me- even 1 death is too many.. Dont know what the countries were doing at the time. Hitler was one person in history.. did modi start any world war? And you are comparing Hitler to modi - just shows your level of understanding. The biggest monster PMs from India were from Cong were indira and rajiv who caused the sikh tragedy and the sri Lanka tragedy .. Again get real.

The point of mentioning Hitler was that democracy is a fine system but it doesn't guarantee anything. You have agreed the same thing by pointing to Congress screwing India for however many years. So democracy itself is not the defining measure of judging a govt.

To get back on topic, if Amit Shah, the democratic spokesman for the BJP, wants to take Pakistan Kashmir, then what measures he is putting in place to implement this?

Thats exactly the point. Inspite of such stuff happening- robust democracies sustain that and function because you also have the legal system as a check.

And on taking back pok - not happening nor any intention whatsoever. Just a masala line for the common man. And btw - thats not bjp's or amit shahs position , it's even the Cong's position and pretty much every party's position in Ind. Or else , it's just political suicide. Even the Muslim parties - mim, muslim league will have the same boilerplate language

Agree, except I don't believe the legal system in India is any sort of a check, they will be infected with the same bias as the sort of mindset which has led to rise of hindutva. I'm sure you would think the same of legal system of Pakistan so let's not pretend India's is significantly better.

I would disagree and thats fine i guess. No comparison between the legal system of ind and pak. The ind system is closer to the UK system. You mention rise of hindutva- no riots have happened, no preferential treatment of hindus , no hindu law etc etc. The pak system is more an establishment authoritarian rule. The army in Ind has no control over elected governments- never has and never will be. And personally am honestly surprised that the Ind democracy is so stable and robust inspite of such diversity. So many languages, dialects, regions and it's still one. Ind is more like a union of states like the USA in this regard as each state has its own regional language culture and preferences.

This government needed more seats at LS but anyway sooner or later 100% Kashmir has to be freed from both Pakistan and China who have destroyed the ecosystem and communal harmony in the valley.

The freed Kashmir under Bharat’s dominion is where all the economic progress is taking once and where democracy is thriving.

Amit Shah Predicts 2029 Lok Sabha Poll Results, Advises INDIA Bloc To 'Prepare To Sit In...'​

Union home minister and BJP leader Amit Shah on Sunday took a veiled jibe at the opposition parties for questioning the strength of the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, and said that the INDIA bloc should prepare to sit in the opposition after the 2029 polls as well.

While speaking at the inauguration event of 24×7 Manimajra water supply project in Chandigarh, the union minister said that the NDA alliance will not only complete its term, but also form the government in 2029.

“I assure you that let the opposition do whatever it wants to do, in 2029 NDA will come, Modi ji will come. They (opposition) do not know that BJP has won more seats in this election than the number of seats Congress got in the past 3 elections. They do not know it. NDA’s only one member, the BJP, has more than the total number of seats which their whole alliance has,” he said.

Shah also lambasted the opposition parties and said that the INDIA bloc wants to spread instability and they must learn the way of working in the opposition properly.

“These people who want to spread instability, repeatedly say that this government is not going to last. I have come to assure them that not only will the government complete its term but the next government will be of NDA and be ready to sit in the opposition and learn the way of working in the opposition properly,” he added.

His remarks came after several opposition leaders at several occasions termed the recently formed NDA government as unstable and claimed that the government might not complete its term.

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee earlier said that the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre was unstable. “This government (which assumed office on June 9) may not continue also. This is not a stable government,” she had said.

Earlier in June, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh claimed that the coalition government at the Centre will not be able to run beyond a year and the INDIA bloc will present itself as an alternative whenever there is an opportunity.

In the recently held Lok Sabha elections, the BJP-led NDA secured majority by winning 292 seats with the BJP emerging as the single largest party with 240 seats. The alliance’s partners TDP and JD(U) won 16 and 12 seats, respectively.

Narendra Modi is serving his third straight term as prime minister, the first to do so since India’s first PM Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

The INDIA bloc bagged 233 seats. Others have won 18 seats in the lower house of Parliament. The Congress secured 99 seats. Samajwadi Party got 37 seats while Trinamool Congress 29. DMK managed to win 22 seats.

APHC condemns BJP govt’s repressive tactics in IIOJK, urges global intervention

The All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC) has sharply condemned BJP-led Indian government’s use of military force, harsh black laws, and coercive cordon and search operations as part of a deliberate strategy to undermine the Kashmiri people’s demand for political justice.

According to Kashmir Media Service, in a statement issued in Srinagar, APHC spokesperson Advocate Abdul Rashid Mihas criticized New Delhi for its aggressive suppression of dissent in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) through draconian laws such as the Public Safety Act (PSA) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Mihas voiced concern over the ongoing state terrorism and the arbitrary arrest of Kashmiri youth by Indian forces’ personnel during the so-called cordon and search operations.

The APHC denounced the BJP regime for systematically violating the fundamental rights of the Kashmiri people, including their freedoms of expression, press, and political, social, business, and religious activities. The statement called on the international community to not remain passive in the face of these ongoing abuses in IIOJK. Mihas urged India to abandon its imperialistic stance on Kashmir, acknowledge the current realities, and address the Kashmir dispute by commitments previously made by Indian leaders at the UN and in public statements.

The APHC emphasized that the dire situation in IIOJK demands urgent global attention. The spokesman appealed to the United Nations to fulfill its role in resolving the Kashmir dispute in line with its resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people, to ensure lasting peace in South Asia.

Modi regime seizes property of another Kashmiri in Sopore

In a continuing crackdown on advocates of freedom in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Modi-installed administration in the territory has seized property from a Kashmiri resident in Sopore.

According to Kashmir Media Service, Indian police have attached the single-storey residential house belonging to Abdul Rashid Najar, resident of Naseem Bagh, Sopore in Baramulla district. The seizure also includes land measuring 01 kanal and 1 marla located in the Amargrah area of Sopore.

‘Not In Favour Of Talks With Pakistan Unless…’: Amit Shah Lays Out Conditions For Resuming Dialogue And Trade​

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday firmly stated that India is not open to dialogue with Pakistan as long as terrorism persists, asserting that "talks and bombs cannot go together." Shah made these remarks during the release of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) manifesto for Jammu and Kashmir, where he categorically dismissed any possibility of negotiations with Pakistan amidst ongoing terrorist activities in the region.

"We are not in favour of talks with Pakistan unless and until terrorism does not end. But we will definitely talk to the youth of Kashmir," Shah told reporters. He reiterated this stance in response to questions regarding political demands for resuming talks with Pakistan and restoring cross-Line of Control (LoC) trade. "Unless terrorism does not come to an end and a trade-terror eco-system is formed, we cannot agree with it," he added.

Addressing the National Conference's (NC) and Congress' calls for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood, Shah dismissed these demands as attempts to mislead the public. "I have always accepted the demand. At an appropriate time, it will be restored," he said.

Shah also responded to the NC's manifesto advocating the restoration of Article 370 and the Congress' support for it. "The agenda of the NC cannot get implemented on the ground. Article 370 is the past. It is history. Nobody can bring it back," he asserted.

In reaction to Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi’s remarks about outsiders ruling Jammu and Kashmir, Shah pointed out that presidential rule was imposed three times during Gandhi's tenure. "If he says presidential rule is outsider rule, then I want to tell Rahul Gandhi it was time, when three times presidential rule was there during your rule in J&K," Shah stated.

Regarding security in Jammu and Kashmir, Shah assured that comprehensive measures have been implemented by the Narendra Modi government and the Jammu and Kashmir administration. He dismissed concerns about the suppression of Muslims in the valley, asserting, "There is no question of it in Kashmir."

Expressing confidence in the BJP's prospects, Shah concluded, "There will be no government by the PDP, NC, and Congress ruled by dynasties. Rest possibilities, BJP will explore."

National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah on Saturday (September 7, 2024) alleged that the BJP has “struck a deal” with some regional parties and independent candidates to form the government in Jammu and Kashmir

Referring to remarks by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Jammu, Mr. Abdullah said he was “silent” about Apni Party and People’s Conference during his speech at the BJP’s manifesto launch on Friday (September 6, 2024).

“...those who have struck a deal with Delhi will not fulfil your demands. If you need evidence for this, just look at the statement of Home Minister Amit Shah in Jammu yesterday,” the NC Vice President said.

Again, Omar Abdullah is being challenged at the polls by a prison inmate

“The home minister listed the parties with which the BJP will not form the government. He was, however, silent about the independents because they are hand in glove (with them). He was silent about Apni Party and People’s Conference,” he said.

Addressing an election rally in the Ganderbal assembly segment, Mr. Abdullah added, “I thought he would at least name the party of Engineer Rashid (Awami Ittehad Party), but he did not.”

While releasing the party manifesto in Jammu on Friday (September 6, 2024), Mr. Shah expressed confidence of forming the government in J-K. “There will be no government by the PDP, NC, and Congress ruled by dynasties. Rest possibilities, BJP will explore,” Mr. Shah said.

Mr. Abdullah is contesting polls from Ganderbal and Budgam assembly segments which will go to polls in the second phase of voting on September 25.

Mr. Abdullah reiterated his claim that people who are in jails are specifically contesting against him and cited the names of Awami Ittehad Party’s Sheikh Abdul Rashid – who defeated him in the Lok Sabha polls – and separatist leader Sarjan Ahmad Wagay alias Barkati who is pitted against the NC leader in the upcoming assembly polls.

“I wonder why people in jail are after me and want to contest elections against me. What is the reason?” he asked. He had earlier suggested that Mr. Barkati, who was from Zainapora, Shopian, was contesting against him as part of “a conspiracy from Delhi”, hinting again at the central government.

Because I know the reality that you can change a friend but not your neighbour. We want improved relations with Pakistan but first of all they should stop terrorism.”

“Among those who fell to terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, 85 percent were Muslims. Terror incidents used to be a routine affair in Kashmir. Were Hindus being killed in the terror acts? I have been a home minister and I know the highest number of Muslims lost their lives in the incidents of terror.”

“Support the BJP to form the next government in J-K so that we can facilitate massive development in the region. There will be so much development that the people in PoK on seeing this should say that we do not want to live with Pakistan and instead will go to India.”

“I want to tell PoK residents that Pakistan considers you foreigners, but the people in India do not consider you so. We consider you our own and so come and join us.”

Clear Contest Between BJP, Gandhi-Abdullah Families: Amit Shah In J&K

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said there is a clear fight between the Congress-National Conference alliance and the BJP - one wanting to bring back Article 370, and the other committed to stopping it.

He said voting in favour of BJP candidate Shugan Parihar is not only for development and progress but also to pay tribute to martyrs, including her father.

"This election in Jammu and Kashmir is clearly between two forces. On one side are the National Conference (NC) and the Congress, and on the other side is the BJP. It is a contest between the BJP and the Gandhi-Abdullah families. Both have clear agendas," Mr Shah told a public rally here.

He said the BJP follows the ideology of Prem Nath Dogra - "One Constitution, one flag, and one Prime Minister," affirming that Jammu and Kashmir is an inseparable part of India, and "no one can reverse that".

Mr Shah, who was campaigning in support of party candidates Shugan Parihar, Sunil Sharma, and Taraq Keen, said the NC and the Congress have said they will restore Article 370 if their government comes to power. "The reservations now available to hill people and Gujjars will be taken away under Article 370," he said.

Pakistani leaders reject ‘farcical’ India-held Kashmir polls

Leaders from across the country on Wednesday categorically rejected the elections to the Legislative Assembly being held in India-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, saying that they were no substitute for the Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination.

Speaking to a delegation, President Asif Ali Zardari emphasised that such elections were unacceptable to the people of Kashmir and called upon the international community to hold the Modi government accountable for the ongoing human rights violations in the occupied territory.

He further urged the need to take concrete steps toward conducting a plebiscite in line with the United Nations Security Council resolutions.

Meanwhile, AJK PM Chaudhry Anwarul Haq declared: “No one can talk about division of Kashmir in our presence.”

Speaking at an event in Palandri, he said: “Those who are comparing Azad Kashmir with the India-occupied territory of Jammu and Kashmir must bear in mind the fact that the people of occupied Kashmir don’t have the right to offer prayers”.

AJK President Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry also lambasted the Indian government’s efforts to legitimise its control over held-Kashmir through “bogus elections” held under the watchful eye of hundreds of thousands of troops.

He emphasised that these elections lack legitimacy and are merely a desperate attempt to mislead the international community.

He highlighted the deteriorating human rights situation in occupied Kashmir since August 5, 2019, when India abolished the region’s special status by abrogating Article 370 and Article 35-A.

He stressed that this move was a blatant violation of international law, citing UN resolutions that call for a referendum in the region.

Pakistani, Indian delegates clash at UN over Kashmir, terrorism allegations​

Pakistani and Indian delegates exchanged sharp barbs at the United Nations on Friday night after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif criticised India’s policies in occupied Kashmir and accused New Delhi of sponsoring terrorism against Pakistan.

Addressing the 79th session of the UN General Assembly earlier in the day, Prime Minister Sharif denounced India’s “brutal coercion and oppression” in Kashmir and highlighted the "externally financed" terrorism targeting Pakistan, particularly by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other groups. He warned that Pakistan would respond “most decisively” to any Indian aggression.

In a heated response, Indian delegate Bhavika Mangalanandan, a first secretary at India’s UN Mission, dismissed the accusations, calling Kashmir an internal matter. She accused Pakistan of supporting cross-border terrorism and commented on Pakistan’s domestic issues.

Exercising his right of reply, Muhammad Faheem, a third secretary at Pakistan’s UN Mission, rebutted his Indian counterpart’s claims, stating, “Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognised disputed territory. It has never been, nor will ever be, a part of India.”

Faheem emphasised that the UN Security Council has called for a plebiscite to allow Kashmiris to exercise their right to self-determination, accusing India of choosing repression over honouring its international obligations. “Instead of fulfilling its commitments, India has subjected the legitimate aspirations of the Kashmiri people to a brutal and oppressive occupation,” Faheem said.

He condemned India's actions since 5 August 2019, when New Delhi revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, deploying nearly one million soldiers to suppress dissent. “This is the largest military occupation in the world,” he added.

Faheem detailed what he termed as India's “heinous crimes” in Kashmir, including extrajudicial killings and staged encounters, adding that entire villages had been razed and political leaders incarcerated. He highlighted that the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and various UN Special Rapporteurs have documented widespread violations in the region, yet India continues to deny access to these investigators.

Dismissing Indian claims of terrorism, Faheem turned the tables, accusing India of using terrorism as state policy. “India, which sponsors and orchestrates assassination campaigns globally, is hardly in a position to lecture others on terrorism,” he said. Faheem pointed to the arrest of Kulbhushan Jadhav, a serving Indian naval officer convicted in Pakistan for espionage and terrorism, as evidence of India’s involvement in destabilising Pakistan.

He also accused India of sponsoring terrorist outfits like the TTP and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), which have caused thousands of deaths in Pakistan. “Pakistan has shared irrefutable evidence of India’s involvement in terrorism with the international community,” he remarked.

In his speech, Faheem also criticised India’s treatment of its minorities, accusing the ruling BJP-RSS government of spreading Islamophobia and imposing a “reign of fear” on Muslims, Christians, Dalits, and other marginalised groups. “Islamophobia has deeply infiltrated the Indian state, where 200 million Muslims face lynching by cow vigilantes and pogroms led by RSS, often with government complicity,” Faheem said.

He highlighted issues such as forced conversions, anti-Muslim laws, and the destruction of mosques, pointing out that these were attempts to erase Muslim identity in India.

In his concluding remarks, Faheem called on India to end its “state-sponsored terrorism,” cease its illegal occupation of Kashmir, and fulfil its international obligations.

He also accused India of sponsoring terrorist outfits like the TTP and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), which have caused thousands of deaths in Pakistan. “Pakistan has shared irrefutable evidence of India’s involvement in terrorism with the international community,” he remarked.

In his speech, Faheem also criticised India’s treatment of its minorities, accusing the ruling BJP-RSS government of spreading Islamophobia and imposing a “reign of fear” on Muslims, Christians, Dalits, and other marginalised groups. “Islamophobia has deeply infiltrated the Indian state, where 200 million Muslims face lynching by cow vigilantes and pogroms led by RSS, often with government complicity,” Faheem said.

He highlighted issues such as forced conversions, anti-Muslim laws, and the destruction of mosques, pointing out that these were attempts to erase Muslim identity in India.

In his concluding remarks, Faheem called on India to end its “state-sponsored terrorism,” cease its illegal occupation of Kashmir, and fulfil its international obligations.

These are hollow words from BJP. They are in power for 10 years and yet they have not gone on war with Pakistan to take back the occupied Kashmir.

If they cannot do it, Sanatanis will have to bring to power another political party that will do it. One way or the other, it has to be done. We cannot remain calm until the entire Kashmir is recovered from Islamists and is rightfully given back to Sanatanis.

There can be no dialogue with Pakistan until Kashmir is freed and is given back to Sanatanis.

Secondly Pakistan must surrender and give up terrorism for once and all
