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

JAMMU: The former Union Minister and BJP’s star campaigner, Anurag Thakur, on Saturday said that the agenda of NC-Cong, PDP and Pakistan is same and they all want death, destruction and unrest in J&K but BJP will not allow that at any cost. “NC-Cong, PDP and Pakistan are on same page and have only one agenda of reviving militancy in Kashmir,” Thakur said, while addressing a public rally at Reasi in favor of BJP candidate Rakesh Dubey.

“NC-Cong, PDP and Pakistan want death and destruction in J&K and stall development works started by PM Modi,” Thakur said, while adding, “these parties never thought of common people of J&K but only cared for their families”.

PM Modi by abrogating Article 370, freed J&K from the clutches of terrorism and established peace here, he said, adding, “Now, record number of tourists are visiting J&K and people are now living a dignified life and earning their livelihood”.

Thakur said that NC-Cong and PDP want to bring back Article 370 and are promising to release jailed terrorists and stone pelters. “It shows their intent that they want to revive militancy and push J&K back into the era of militancy and unrest”.

The NC-Cong are not the well wishers of people of J&K. Thakur also slammed Rahul Gandhi for insulting Sikhs on foreign soil. “In last 10 years, have you been barred from wearing turban, have you been barred from wearing Kada, have you been barred from going to Gurudwara?” Thakur asked people of Sikh community.

He said, Rahul Gandhi has insulted Sikh Community. “Cong Party is responsible for 84 Sikh riots,” Thakur said, while adding, “Many senior leaders of Cong namely Jagdish Tytler, Sajjan Kumar and others were involved in anti-Sikh riots”. Cong owes an apology to the nation, he said, and urged the people to reject NC-Cong in these elections.

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.
