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

JAMMU: BJP spokesperson and Convenor International Affairs Gaurav Gupta has strongly condemned the reckless and outrageous statements made by former Pakistani diplomat Abdul Basit, in which he brazenly threatened Indian cities such as New Delhi and Mumbai. Gupta described Basit’s remarks as “insane, desperate, and proof that Beggarstan (Pakistan) remains obsessed with India and incapable of independent, responsible statecraft.”

“Basit’s statements reveal a nation living in delusions—licking the boots of others, begging for attention, and fantasizing about striking India. Pakistan is a beggar country in every sense: weak, frustrated, and mentally unbalanced,” Gupta said. “Even today, they glorify ‘Operation Sindoor’ as if it were a movie trailer for future attacks, forgetting that India has already shown the world its decisive power.”

Gupta emphasized that India is fully prepared to counter any threat, and Pakistan’s hollow boasts will meet a response so swift and severe that it will shock anyone who underestimates India’s strength. “Our armed forces are modern, lethal, and ready. Every missile, every unit, every intelligence operation is calibrated to neutralize threats. India does not threaten—it annihilates aggression. Basit and his cronies must remember that Mumbai and New Delhi are untouchable, and any attack will invite retaliation beyond Pakistan’s imagination,” Gupta said.

Detailing India’s readiness, Gupta stated India’s strategic and tactical nuclear arsenal is fully capable of responding to any provocation;  Precision strikes, rapid mobilization, and surgical operations ensure Beggarstan cannot even dream of success in its fantasies and Recent operations have already sent Pakistan a clear message: India acts decisively, and any misadventure will be punished immediately and severely.”

“Pakistan has nothing to its name but hollow threats. It lives in past fantasies, worships delusions like Operation Sindoor, and imagines itself a danger to India. In reality, it is weak, unstable, and licking the global hand before thinking of aggression,” Gupta said.

He concluded with a stark warning: “Let Basit and Beggarstan (Pakistan) remember this: India does not forgive threats to its sovereignty. Peace is preferred, but any act of aggression will be met with overwhelming force. India is vigilant, India is strong, and India will not hesitate to teach Pakistan a lesson it will never forget.”

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.
