'Farooq of Kashmir' by Ashwini Bhatnagar and R.C. Ganjoo delves into the life and times of the former CM of Jammu and Kashmir, Dr. Farooq Abdullah, highlighting his shrewd maneuvering and essential role in Kashmir's political landscape.

Bharat Jodo Yatra will be in the Kashmir valley for the next two days, before a mega culmination rally on 30 January.

The former J&K chief minister says he has learned from his party’s 'mistake' of earlier staying away from elections, tells parties to contest polls even if statehood isn't restored.

Abdullah’s party National Conference described the exercise as ‘political’, affirming there was no ‘wrong-doing’ on Abdullah’s part.

At a day-long convention, NC alleged that J&K has been 'downgraded and downsized' by bifurcating it into two UTs disrupting the social fabric, integrity & culture of the erstwhile state.

In the last four days, five civilians have been gunned down in the Valley. Police say they have set out search parties to nab the terrorists.

The body of 67-year-old Wazir was found in a decomposed state. The NC leader was a Jammu resident and further investigation was on to ascertain the exact cause of his death.

Indian Muslims have been completely edged out of power structures, not just by BJP, but all other parties. Even in the Supreme Court, there’s one Muslim judge out of 33.

The former CM said even senior Congress leader Karan Singh has called for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir before holding elections.

Among those invited are four former CMs -- Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar of the National Conference, senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti.
