The Survival Fight of JK Monitor: For 16 years, JK Monitor has chronicled Jammu and Kashmir with integrity. Since 2010, I have steered its newsroom alongside our visionary Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan (IIT Kharagpur alumnus, University of Maryland Ph.D.). His tragic demise in October 2026 left a severe financial and operational vacuum. Without urgent support, our 24/7 news portal risks permanently shutting down after November 2026, remaining only as a static digital archive. We appeal to well-wishers to extend a helping hand to keep our active newsroom alive. Support Us: WhatsApp: +91-9906103001 | Email: journalistajmerwani@gmail.com

JAMMU: Gaurav Gupta, Spokesperson and Convenor of Department for International Relations for J&K BJP, said that External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar’s strong and unambiguous statement at the SCO Council of Heads of Government meeting in Moscow has once again reinforced India’s uncompromising stand against terrorism.

Gupta said Dr. Jaishankar’s categorical message that there can be no justification, no looking away, and absolutely no whitewashing of terrorism reflects the clarity and confidence of New India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. He highlighted that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, created to counter terrorism, separatism and extremism, must now act with greater unity, as these threats have become more dangerous, more organized, and more global.

Referring to the recent Delhi blast, which claimed innocent lives, Gupta noted that Dr. Jaishankar’s assertion that India has the right to defend its people and will exercise that right whenever required sends a clear message to the international community, India will not compromise on national security.

Gupta further endorsed Dr. Jaishankar’s call for the SCO to adapt, reform and strengthen its working methods in line with the evolving global challenges and security environment. He said India remains committed to contributing positively to these reforms and ensuring that the fight against terrorism remains the organization’s top priority. He added that India’s position is firm, principled and transparent terrorism, in any form, by any actor, for any reason, will face zero tolerance.

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