JAMMU: BJP spokesperson Gaurav Gupta strongly condemned Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir’s recent “jugular vein” remark, made while addressing the Pakistani diaspora in Tampa, Florida during his ongoing visit to the United States. Gupta termed the statement as “a desperate attempt to revive a failed narrative and mislead Pakistan’s own people.”

Gupta asserted that Kashmir is, and will always remain, an integral and inseparable part of Bharat — not just as per the Constitution, but as the settled will of the Indian people and the unmatched sacrifices of the armed forces. “No foreign propaganda can change this reality,” he said.

Rejecting Munir’s rhetoric as historically false and politically motivated, Gupta stated that Pakistan’s so-called ‘jugular vein’ is not in Indian territory but in Rawalpindi’s terror factories — the breeding grounds of extremism that have bled the region for decades. “If Pakistan truly wishes to protect its ‘lifeline’, it should dismantle these terror hubs rather than spread lies on foreign soil,” he added.

Highlighting Pakistan’s collapsing economy, record-high inflation, and severe shortages of basic necessities, Gupta said the country’s military leadership is busy indulging in hollow chest-thumping abroad instead of fixing its broken economy and restoring dignity to its people. “Pakistan is chasing a 75-year-old failed agenda while its citizens suffer,” he remarked.

Recalling the Pahalgam attack and India’s decisive counter-terror operations, Gupta warned that cross-border terrorism will be met with a firm, fitting, and final reply — always. “The days of turning the other cheek are over. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bharat’s national security posture is crystal clear — zero tolerance for terrorism, zero compromise on sovereignty,” he stated.

In a direct message to Islamabad, Gupta said: “Stop daydreaming about Kashmir, vacate PoK, end your terror sponsorship, and read the writing on the wall — Jammu & Kashmir is, was, and will always be Bharat. That is the beginning and the end of the story.”

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.
