Farooq Abdullah Calls For Muslim Unity, Expresses Solidarity With Palestine And Iran
National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah participated in the Muharram procession in Srinagar on the 10th of Muharram, joined by his grandsons, Zamir and Zahir Abdullah. The family took part in the Zadibal procession, where they distributed water to mourners as a mark of respect and solidarity. Abdullah expressed solidarity with the Shia community, emphasising the sacrifices of Imam Hussain (AS) and the values of peace, brotherhood, and gratitude taught by Islam. He also highlighted the message of Karbala as a stand against tyranny and evil. In a strong message of unity, Dr. Abdullah said, "Message of solidarity with Islamic world, Palestine, and Iran for the Islamic war they are fighting Muslims should unite against all evil that's the only way world will see peace. Islam teaches peace brotherhood and that's the message which is carried. Thats what imam Hussain gave the message to fight against tyranny and evil that's what Karbala is about. Karbala gave hope that we will stand against all odds and nothing will beat Islam' Dr. Abdullah's call for unity is rooted in the belief that Islam inherently promotes peace and brotherhood, and that collective resistance to injustice is essential for achieving global harmony.

Will quit politics if PM Modi is not forced to leave Varanasi seat in 2029: Ajai Rai
Seeking votes for the 2027 Assembly election, Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai on Sunday claimed that he would quit politics if Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not forced to run away from the Varanasi seat in 2029. Addressing a gathering in Pindra Assembly constituency in Varanasi, Rai said, 'You help us win the 2027 election and you will see that the power of your vote will force PM Modi to run away from Varanasi in 2029,' he said. 'I am announcing from this platform that I will quit politics if PM Modi is not forced to leave Varanasi in 2029 after our victory in 2027,' said Rai. 'I assure you we will come to power, despite setbacks,' he said, attacking the rival party for creating a wedge between communities. He was speaking at the launch of a book on former legislator Comrade Udal in the presence of former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel and other INDI bloc leaders. The Uttar Pradesh Congress chief sought votes for the Congress in the 2027 Assembly election and told voters that their support for the party in the upcoming Assembly election would pave the way for PM Modi's exit from Varanasi in the next parliamentary election. 'People who are working to divide society on caste lines and creating wedge between Hindu and Muslim will also be dealt with,' he said. Alleging the use of unfair means for getting a BJP legislator elected in 2022 from Pindra Assembly segment – which Rai himself lost by coming third behind the runners-up the from BSP, the UP Congress President claimed that even the 2024 Lok Sabha election would have become tough for PM Modi had the Congress won this Assembly seat in 2022. He also referred to the reduced margin of PM Modi's victory from Varanasi in 2024 and said, 'The voters of Sat Gaon in Banaras brought down PM Modi's victory margin in 2024 and I would have won that Lok Sabha election had I been also won the 2022 Assembly poll,' he said. In the 2024 Lok Sabha election, PM Modi polled over 6.12 lakh votes while his nearest rival Ajai Rai of Congress got over 4.60 votes. In 2019, PM Modi got over 6.74 lakh votes as compared to the runner-up from the Samajwadi Party, Shalini Yadav, who polled over 1.95 lakh votes.

A Hindu-Muslim Story of Betrayal, Healing, and Hope
Communalism In a world shaken by fear and fractured by hate, quiet acts of care endure. I find proof that humanity's heart beats stronger than its wounds. On May 22, 2025, terror tore through the Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, Kashmir, where attackers killed 26 civilian after allegedly demanding their religions. Among the fallen was one Muslim – a grim reminder that hatred, though perpetrated in the name of religion, spares no one. In Srinagar, the spring air grew heavy with grief, the valley's famed beauty dulled by the weight of mourning. For the first time in 35 years of conflict, Muslim voices rose from beneath the iconic Clock Tower in Lal Chowk, crying out: ' Kashmir se awaaz aayi… Hindu Muslim bhai bhai (A voice rises from Kashmir… Hindus and Muslims are brothers)." Yet, tragically, that voice echoed only within the bounds of the valley, unable to reach places where it was needed most. Amid this sorrow, my phone buzzed. It was Monika, a Hindu friend from Jammu I'd known for years. Her words pierced deeper than I expected: 'All you Muslims are terrorists who harbour and feed them.' Moments later, she blocked me, cutting off all contact. What I thought was an enduring friendship dissolved into silence. It felt like betrayal. But life has its way of stitching together what pain rips apart. As I wrestled with her words, a call came from Sushanta Bishal, a Hindu from West Bengal I had never met. " Bhaya, come to London. Stay with us," he urged. His brother Prashanta lives near IIT Kharagpur, where my son, Mehran, studies. Over time, Prashanta and his wife, Sunita, had embraced Mehran like their own – inviting him to birthdays, Durga Puja celebrations, and dinners. Their six-year-old daughter, Aavya – affectionately called 'Mother India' – refuses to eat if Mehran doesn't show up at least once a week. Two winters ago, Prashanta visited our Srinagar home bringing with him two more families we had never seen before. They skipped hotels, choosing instead to sleep on bedding spread across our drawing room – trusting us without hesitation. Sushanta's call rekindled my shelved dream of visiting London, delayed since December. Encouraged, I booked a roundtrip ticket and informed him of my arrival. Busy with work, he sent his brother-in-law, Surojit, to receive me at Heathrow. We visited a pilot friend, before taking the tube to Woodford Green, where Sushanta lives with his wife, Moumita, and mother-in-law, Smita. At the station, Sushanta greeted me with a warm embrace. Moumita bent to touch my feet, a gesture of respect that soothed the ache of Monika's rejection. Their home became a quiet refuge. But on my second night, news broke of India's military strike in response to the Pahalgam attack. The air grew tense. Still, Sushanta's family didn't waver. Smita, barely older than me, cared for me with maternal grace, undeterred by my Muslim identity. Back home, when missiles and drones were flying across the India-Pakistan border, Sushanta drove me around London – from the iconic bridge to the quiet English countryside. He read my articles and discussed them thoughtfully. Despite political differences, our disagreements only deepened our bond. Craving familiarity, I reached out to some Muslim friends in London, including a few Pakistanis I'd known since my first visit to the United Kingdom in 1998. But the conflict had hardened even them. One snapped, 'Don't compare me to Hindus,' after I jokingly said, 'The Hindus here are taking such good care of me – and I haven't even heard from you yet.' His words echoed Monika's prejudice, revealing how division poisons even the gentlest hearts. Weeks later, healing found its way back. Monika, after seeing my photos with Sushanta's family on social media, messaged me with regret: 'I was overwhelmed by disturbing WhatsApp messages and videos portraying Muslims as terrorists. I got caught up momentarily.' I realised instantly how 'WhatsApp University' – with its barrage of forwarded videos, memes, and half-truths – can poison even soft hearts like Monika's. In a gesture of reconciliation, she spoke with Sushanta and even invited him to visit Mata Vaishno Devi, the sacred Hindu shrine in Jammu. Her transformation mirrored my own journey from betrayal to renewed trust. After a month, Sushanta's family drove me to Heathrow. Moumita touched my feet once more, a quiet promise of enduring connection. Back in Kashmir, my phone rang. ' Bhaya, when will you visit again?' Sushanta asked, his voice carrying the warmth of Woodford Green. The tragedy of Baisaran had shaken my faith in humanity, but London's kindness restored it. In a world shaken by fear and fractured by hate, it was quiet acts of care that endured. In those moments, I found proof that humanity's heart beats stronger than its wounds.
