K.N. Pandita
For quite some time Geelani was mute, maybe owing to advancing age problem like dementia.

A diehard Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) standard-bearer, who trained some enthusiastic young Kashmiris in Jamaat ideology, like late Ayub Thukar and Ghulam Nabi Fai (respectively London and the US-based JI (Kashmir) activists, Geelani has always been an blunt pro-Pakistani leader of old school.

Blood at the icy heights of Galwan valley on the intervening night of June 15-16, has sunken the huge personal goodwill built by PM Modi & President Xi Jinping in last six years including ‘Wuhan Spirit’( April 2018) & ‘Chennai ( Mamallapuram)Connect’ (Oct. 2019),that laid down a roadmap for long term peaceful, stable and friendly relationship.

| | Time for India to act offensive | | |
K N Pandita
Chinese intrusion in Eastern Ladakh is a pre-meditated plan with close relevance to the ominous situation developing in South Asia. China’s threatening postures and dubious moves are a threat to peace in the region. China’s ambition is to dominate the Asian Continent militarily and economically. Nibbling at the borders of her neighbours is China’s history. India is facing this menace along 7000 km Himalayan border with China just because of Nehru putting an end to the strategic buffer of Tibet.
Pressure from the international community is growing in China for an investigation into the leakage and global spread of coronavirus. World leaders have begun to concede that ... |

Dr Ashok Bhan
The Constitutional changes of August 2019 and reorganization of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir distended the role of Police and security forces (SFs). Besides intensifying the counter-insurgency operations, there were new challenges of ensuring strict enforcement of lockdown restrictions and preventing protests.

There were notable successes in counter-terrorist operations with over one hundred terrorists, including top commanders of HM, JeM and LeT, neutralized during the ... |
