JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir BJP spokesperson Dr. Tahir Chowdhary on Tuesday came down heavily on the Congress party over its ongoing protests and disruption of the Parliament session, alleging that the Opposition was resorting to street drama after repeated electoral defeats.

Reacting to the recent protest march by Congress-led INDIA bloc MPs to the Election Commission over the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, Dr. Chowdhary accused the grand old party of deliberately stalling the functioning of Parliament and diverting public attention from important legislative business.

“The Congress has reduced itself to a party of habitual protestors. Whenever they lose elections, instead of introspecting and respecting the mandate of the people, they manufacture controversies to remain in the headlines,” Dr. Chowdhary said, adding that the BJP government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains committed to democratic processes and electoral transparency.

He criticized the opposition’s allegations of “vote chori” and said that the Election Commission was an independent constitutional body whose credibility should not be undermined for political gain.  “The INDIA bloc is rattled because people have rejected them repeatedly. The EC follows due process, and instead of submitting their grievances in a constructive manner, Congress leaders are creating law-and-order issues in the national capital,” he remarked.

Dr. Chowdhary also condemned Congress for “politicizing” issues in Jammu and Kashmir, referring to the ongoing chain hunger strike by the J&K Pradesh Congress Committee demanding restoration of statehood. He said the BJP has a clear road map for the development of the Union Territory and is working towards its overall welfare.

 “While BJP is delivering development, ensuring peace, and strengthening democracy in J&K, Congress leaders are busy staging protests. Their actions show they have no real agenda for the people, only the desire to grab power at any cost,” Dr. Chowdhary stated.

He urged the opposition to end its disruptive tactics and engage in constructive debate inside Parliament.  “The people of India and Jammu & Kashmir are watching. Congress must realize that tantrums and street fights will not bring them back to power — only hard work and genuine service to the nation will,” he added.

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.
