They say 5 August order banning 25 titles doesn’t explain grounds on which J&K home dept concluded these books promote ‘secessionism’ & incite 'violence against Indian state'.
At the orders of L-G Manoj Sinha, J&K home dept through a notification dated 5 August imposed blanket ban on 25 books it said were propagating ‘false narrative and secessionism’.
Manoj Sinha was speaking on the occasion of his completion of 5 yrs as Lt. Governor of J&K. He said his vision for J&K has always been clear—peace isn't for buying, but for establishing.
Termination action initiated by L-G against Zahir Abbas and Abdul Rehman Naika under Article 311 (2) (c) based on reports by law enforcement & security agencies, it is learnt.
In an exclusive interview with ThePrint, Sinha also said mindsets had changed in J&K, as people see their future with an ebullient India and not with a chaotic Pakistan.
This means that if and when the Union territory gets a chief minister following assembly elections, he or she will not have any say in these matters as long as J&K remains a UT.
Set to complete his fourth year in office, Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha claims Kashmir has 'changed' since 2020. ThePrint looks at his life in Raj Bhawan.
Sinha has carried out the PM’s briefs rather commendably. His biggest contribution has been to bring Delhi closer to Srinagar and make people realise that Article 370 was a notional privilege.
In a keynote address Thursday, Manoj Sinha said the Mahatma only had a high school diploma. The comments did not go down well with Tushar, who called them ‘ignorant’.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
