NC on ventilator, expansion will split party: Sunil Sharma

Srinagar, May 9: Leader of the Opposition (LoP) and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sunil Sharma on Saturday alleged that the National Conference (NC) is "on a ventilator" due to an internal "disease" and warned that any "expansion" would lead to a vertical split in the party.

Speaking to news agency Kashmir News Service (KNS), the senior BJP leader claimed that only a few individuals, assigned the task of speaking against the BJP, are responsible for infecting the NC's internal health. He linked the recent protests at the NC headquarters, Nawai-e-Subah, to the deepening crisis.

"Whatever happened at the NC headquarters is because of those who have been given the duty to speak against us. That is the reason for that disease," he added.

LoP Sharma asserted that the malady had spread beyond cure. "If they do a small expansion, there will be two outbreaks. The National Conference will be divided into two parts. It will fall like a bag. The disease has gone so deep that they have no cure," he said.

Drawing a parallel with the Shiv Sena's split, he said the party had created the crisis itself. "Two Shiv Senas were made by themselves. No matter how much they try, the house is broken. There is a major hole in it, and at any time you will see that this wall has fallen," Sharma said.

He, however, ruled out any intervention from his side. "Neither do we believe in it," he added.

Amar Singh College Row Takes Political Turn, Students Say Principal Made ‘Scapegoat’



Srinagar, May 8: The Amar Singh College harassment controversy appears to be taking a political turn, with several students alleging that the suspended Principal has been made a “scapegoat” despite following institutional protocols after the allegations surfaced on campus.
Students said the college administration acted immediately after protests erupted over alleged verbal harassment involving a faculty member from the Department of Media Studies.
According to the Principal, Prof. Aijaz Ahmed Hakak, the administration promptly intervened, recorded the student’s statement, initiated an inquiry, and relieved the accused faculty member from departmental affairs pending investigation.
The Principal also said that the college’s proctorial committee and Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) mechanisms were already in place to deal with such complaints and that awareness regarding harassment-related issues was regularly promoted across the campus.
Students claimed that the Principal cooperated with protesters, ensured transparency, and handled the matter through proper institutional channels instead of suppressing the issue.
The controversy intensified after Apni Party leader Jibran Dar joined protesting students inside the college campus a day before the suspension order was issued.
Many students believe the Principal became a victim of the situation despite following due process and taking immediate administrative action against the accused faculty member.
Earlier, Education Minister Sakeena Itoo ordered the suspension of both the Principal and the Assistant Professor pending inquiry into the incident.

Iran Will Soon Celebrate ‘Great Victory’ in War Against US-Israel, says VP Aref



Tehran, May 8: Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref has claimed that the Islamic Republic will soon be marking a “great victory” in its ongoing confrontation with the United States and Israel, as reported by the state-run Press TV.
Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref voiced defiant optimism on Thursday regarding the international constraints currently facing the country. He signalled that the period of economic and diplomatic isolation was nearing its end, suggesting an imminent shift in the nation’s fortunes.
“We will soon hold our victory celebration, and the sanctions and pressures that have been imposed on the Iranian nation over recent years will be lifted with the great victory of the Iranian nation,” Aref was quoted as saying. His remarks underscored a conviction that Tehran is on the verge of overcoming the systematic external pressures applied against it in recent years.
These pronouncements we made against a backdrop of renewed hostilities, as both nations engaged in an exchange of fire within the strategic Strait of Hormuz on the same day. Tehran has levelled accusations against Washington for allegedly violating the standing ceasefire, while American officials have maintained that they do not intend to escalate the situation and that the truce remains operational.
Adding to the tension, US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to the Iranian leadership, cautioning that “we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently” should a formal agreement not be reached in the near future.
In a phone conversation with Rachel Scott, Senior Political Correspondent for ABC News, the President insisted that the ceasefire is still in effect despite the recent skirmishes. He sought to downplay the significance of the American military strikes, characterising the retaliatory actions as “just a love tap.”
When specifically questioned by Scott on whether the reported escalation signalled collapse of the truce, Trump responded, “No, no, the ceasefire is going. It’s in effect.”
Earlier, the President utilised Truth Social to confirm that three American destroyers had “transited very successfully” out of the Strait of Hormuz. He noted that the vessels were fired upon by Iranian forces during the passage but claimed that the opposing naval boats were “completely destroyed,” while missiles and drones targeting the US assets were intercepted.
Providing further context o the nature of the American response. Fox News Chief National Security
Correspondent Jennifer Griffin, citing a senior US official, reported that the military had conducted strikes on strategically vital maritime corridors. These strikes followed reports of multiple explosions near the Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas in southern Iran.
In a series of updates on X, Griffin stated that the official confirmed the strikes but emphasised that the operation was not a precursor to a wider conflict. “US military just carried out strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Port and Bandar Abbas: Senior US official tells me, but this is not a restarting of the war,” Griffin posted.
The official reportedly reiterated that the action was restricted in its objectives and should not be viewed as a breakdown of current de-escalation efforts, stating it was “not a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire.” (ANI)

Amar Singh College Orders Probe After Students Protest Alleged Harassment by Faculty Member



Srinagar, May 7: Authorities at Amar Singh College on Thursday ordered an inquiry after students staged a protest over allegations of verbal harassment against a senior faculty member of the Department of Media Studies.
Principal Prof. Aijaz Ahmed Hakak said the incident unfolded during the afternoon session while normal classwork was underway in the college.
“Students gathered and started a demonstration. Immediately, when we went there, one female student complained about harassment by a faculty member of the Department of Media Studies,” Hakak said.
He said the college administration promptly intervened, listened to the concerns raised by the students and initiated preliminary action.
“We have taken her statement, and now the college committee will investigate the matter. A fact-based report will be submitted to the Higher Education Department,” he said.
According to the principal, the allegation pertains to verbal harassment. He, however, said the matter is still at a preliminary stage, and the accused faculty member has not yet been contacted, as the students were agitated when the issue surfaced.
“We have listened to the students and noted their concerns. The proctorial committee will look into the matter completely,” Hakak said.
As an immediate administrative measure, the faculty member concerned has been relieved of departmental affairs, while a senior faculty member has been assigned to oversee the functioning of the department till the inquiry is completed.
“Meanwhile, we have relieved the faculty member from departmental affairs, and a senior faculty member will look after the affairs of the department,” the principal said.
Hakak said the students have now been pacified and assured by the administration, and that there is no law and order issue on the campus.
“Their concerns were immediately addressed. There is no issue now, and normal classes will continue,” he said.
The principal also said the students themselves informed the administration that they had not formally brought the issue to the notice of the college authorities earlier.
Hakak said the college already has multiple institutional mechanisms in place to address complaints related to harassment, including disciplinary and Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) structures.
“For the protection of female students, committees are already in place in the college. Awareness regarding any kind of harassment is regularly promoted, and committee guidelines are displayed prominently across departments and blocks,” he said.
He added that complaint boxes have also been installed at designated places on the campus to enable students to report grievances and bring matters to the attention of the college authorities.
