BJP’s pin pointed attack on NC

JAMMU: In a pin pointed attack on former Chief Minister of J&K, Omar Abdullah, the BJP on Tuesday said that in 2014 Omar met senior most leaders of the BJP and RSS at Delhi and offered unconditional support to BJP for government formation in J&K and also agreed for a full term BJP Chief Minister. This sharp attack on Omar Abdullah came from none other but a former senior National Conference (NC) leader, Devendra Rana, during a press conference at Jammu today.

Sardar R P Singh, BJP National Spokesperson, Arun Gupta, J&K BJP Spokesperson & BJP War Room Incharge and Dr Pardeep Mahotra, J&K BJP Media Incharge were also present on the occasion. Rana said that today Omar is saying that all political parties of Kashmir are part of BJP and are close to it whereas the “reality is completely opposite”.

Rana said, “Now, you (Omar) are saying that Ram Madhav is close to PDP but the truth is that you repeatedly approached top BJP and RSS leaders for forming government in J&K”.Rana further reminded Omar that he was the union minister in Vajpayee government but today he is saying that NC has nothing to do with BJP.

Rana said, “In 2014, when NC had 15 MLAs, Omar went to Delhi and met senior most leaders of the BJP and also knocked the doors of RSS leaders including Home Minister Amit Shah and the then J&K Incharge, Ram Madhav and offered unconditional support to the BJP for forming government in J&K”.

Omar also agreed for a full term Chief Minister of the BJP in J&K, Rana said. “I also accompanied Omar that time and he (Omar) offered on the table unconditional support to the BJP for forming government in J&K and also even extended unconditional support for a full term Chief Minister of the BJP in J&K,” Rana said.

Rana said that the BJP, however, rejected the proposal of Omar Abdullah. Rana further said that after this rejection by the BJP, Omar repeatedly kept on approaching the BJP top leadership and also knocked the doors of RSS for government formation in J&K.

“NC wanted to be in power in J&K at any cost,” Rana said, while adding that after the death of former Chief Minister, Mufti Mohd Sayeed, Omar Abdullah again started approaching top BJP and RSS leader at Delhi offering unconditional support to the BJP for government formation in J&K and also agreeing for a full term BJP Chief Minister.

“Farooq Abdullah was at Katra at that time and told Omar Abdullah to meet BJP and RSS leaders at Delhi and offer unconditional support to BJP for forming government in J&K,” Rana said, adding, “The BJP rejected NC’s offer at that time also”

Rana said that today Omar is saying that all political parties of Kashmir are part of BJP except NC. “NC is just trying to build narrative by saying that NC has nothing to do with BJP,” Rana said adding, “rather than fooling people NC should draw future roadmap for the betterment of people.

He also accused NC saying that it talks about releasing jailed stone pelters which shows that NC wants unrest in J&K. “Have they forgotten 2009 and 2010?’” Rana questioned. He also said that BJP will never allow NC to play with sentiments of Hindus as it has mentioned in its manifesto to rename Shankaracharya as Takht-e-Suleman.

In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness profoundly shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at In Loving Memory · Dr. Priya Ranjan

When he appointed me Editor-in-Chief of JK Monitor, he never treated me as an employee, but as a younger brother, offering warmth, trust, respect and invaluable guidance. I will always be grateful for his faith in me, his encouragement and the lessons he shared.

Dr. Ranjan was a rare and noble soul—humble, compassionate, intellectually brilliant and always willing to help others. A visionary thinker, he believed in using knowledge and abilities to make a meaningful difference. His influence lives on through the people he guided, the work he inspired and the countless lives he touched.

For me, he will always be the elder brother who believed in me and guided me with affection. I will cherish his kindness and lessons forever. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan. IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
