His tragic demise in October 2026 left a severe financial and operational vacuum.

JAMMU: By skipping the “Beating the Retreat” ceremony, Omar Abdullah as a Chief Minister has failed the spirit of Democracy, the Constitution of India, and the 148 Crore people of India, stated Dr. Abhijeet Singh Jasrotia. Dr. Abhijeet Singh Jasrotia accompanied by Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, State Media Secretary, J&K BJP, and Dr. Parneesh Mahajan, Incharge, Training Department, was addressing media persons in a press conference at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.

“This is for the first time in history that the Ministers from the CM’s cabinet including the CM himself have missed the ceremony which marks the celebration of our “Vibrant Democracy.” The CM should acknowledge the fact that he is CM because of the Constitution of India and should not make a mistake to miss the day being celebrated to mark the adoption of the Constitution by the Republic of India.,” said Dr. Abhijeet.

Dr. Abhijeet Jasrotia said that the Chief Minister Cabinet has insulted the Constitution and the Constitution makers & all those who laid down their lives to make India a republic during the long freedom struggle. He said that the INDI Gathbandhan who are often seen carrying Constitution copies on their heads do not actually have any respect for it.

Dr. Abhijeet Jasrotia questioned CM Omar Abdullah that whether he is toeing the lie of Akbar Lone and is getting ready to chant ‘Pak zindabad.’ “CM Omar is still living in Parivar-Tantra instead of Gana-Tantra, as he plainly ignores all the invitations from the officials of government to attend the Ceremony to mark the celebration of Gana-Tantra,” said Jasrotia.

CM Omar Abdullah has played with the emotions of 148 crore people of India, said Jasrotia and asked the CM Omar to answer whether he and his council of Ministers have deliberately skipped the celebration of democracy. Jasrotia slammed the class of political persons who still think of bringing another Constitution parallel to the Constitution of India and wish to raise another flag in front of the Tricolour of Republic of India.

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.
