  • J&K needs development not conspiracies: Chugh

SAMBA: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh and Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Dhami ked a road show followed by a large public rally in Samba in which Chugh, recounted the conspiracies of the Sheikh Abdullah-led government during the Jana Sangh era. He explained how two constitutions and two symbols were imposed at the time, and how Jana Sangh's founder, Syama Prasad Mookerjee, was arrested during Sheikh Abdullah's regime.

Chugh remarked, "The false narrative established by Sheikh Abdullah continues even today, with his descendants still demanding the reinstatement of Article 370." He urged the audience to consider this election carefully, asking, "Should we continue supporting the ideals of Premnath Dogra, or fall for the conspiracy led by Sheikh Abdullah, which aims to keep J&K shackled by Articles 370 and 35(A)? Does J&K need to move forward from this?"

He further criticized Farooq Abdullah's push to reinstate Articles 370 and 35A, questioning the need for the return of two flags and suggesting that it would undermine the constitution introduced by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. He said, "This election is not simply a contest agains the NC, Congress, and PDP. It is a battle between those who wish to bring back 370 and those supporting Narendra Modi's development agenda for J&K." Chugh concluded by urging the people of Samba to vote for the BJP and ensure the victory of their candidate, Surjit Singh Salathia

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.
