In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family
  • This election is between nationalist and anti-national forces

JAMMU: The BJP National Spokesperson, Sudhanshu Trivedi, on Thursday said that the upcoming Assembly elections in J&K are historic as this will be first election after J&K became secular and added that this election is between nationalist forces and anti-national forces.

“People in these Assembly elections have to choose between those promising peace and development (BJP) and those promising death and destruction (NC-Cong),” Sudhanshu said during a press conference, here today at BJP media center.

BJP National Spokesperson, Prem Shukla, J&K BJP Chief Spokesperson, Sunil Sethi, Election Media Center Incharge and BJP Spokesperson, Arun Gupta and BJP Spokesperson, Abhijeet Jasrotia were also present in the press conference. 

“After 42nd amendment in the Indian Constitution, government here in J&K adopted the 6 year term for Assembly but did not add the word secular in its constitution,” Sudhanshu during a press conference, here today at BJP media center. At that time, J&K had its own Constitution but after abrogation of Article 370, there is one Constitution, he said.

“This is first election after J&K became secular, first election under one flag and also first election with no stone pelting, no ISIS and Pak flags and no hartals,” he said, while adding, “This is also the first election in J&K after OBCs got reservation”.

This election will also be the first election when the Assembly term would be of 5 years, he said. NC and Cong want to revive terrorism and separatism, he said and questioned, “Cong must tell who would be released from jails, is it Yasin Malik, Asiya Andrabi or Shabir Shah?”. Sudhanshu Trivedi also slammed Rahul Gandhi for meeting and talking to those who don’t consider PoJK as part of India but part of Pakistan.

“Rahul recently met some people in USA who do not consider PoJK as part of India but consider it as part of Pakistan,” he said and added, “Indian Parliament had passed a resolution saying that PoJK is an integral part of India and Rahul by meeting such people has insulted the Indian Parliament”.

Sudhanshu said, as Leader of Opposition, Rahu has insulted the Parliament and also his ancestors who also were part of the Parliament which passed the resolution saying that PoJK is an integral part of India.

The Home Minister in Cong government, Sushil Kumar Shinde had recently said that he was afraid of going to Kashmir, Sudhanshu said, while adding, “PM Modi has restored peace in Kashmir after abrogation of Article 370 and record number of over 2 crore tourists visited Kashmir”.

After 33 years, Muharram procession was taken out in Kashmir, he said adding that J&K is the only state having 2 AIIMS and other prestigious professional and technical educational institutions.

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.
