JAMMU. Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader and in-charge of the Nagrota Assembly constituency, Amit Kapoor, has demanded that the Speaker of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly and the government led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah allow Doda MLA Mehraj Malik to participate in the upcoming Assembly session.

As per a press note issued today, speaking to reporters during a press conference in Jammu, Amit Kapoor made this demand. He said that Mehraj Malik should be allowed to participate in the Assembly session like MP Engineer Rashid. He further said that Mehraj Malik is the only MLA who raises issues of the poor, daily wage earners, and other public interest in the Assembly.

He also said that action should be taken against the employees who protested against Mehraj Malik and they should be suspended with immediate effect. He expressed hope that the Assembly Speaker and the government led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah will take the matter seriously and allow Mehraj Malik to participate in the Assembly session so that he can raise issues of public interest in the Assembly.

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.
