Mughal Road Closed for Traffic in Indian Occupied Kashmir

Jammu, June 6 (Azadi Times) Mughal Road, a vital link connecting the twin districts of Poonch and Rajouri in the Jammu region with Shopian district in the Kashmir Valley, has been closed for traffic once again due to landslides in Poonch district.

The road was closed on June 6, 2023, after a landslide occurred at Ratta Chhamb in the Srankot area of Poonch district. Hundreds of vehicles are stuck on the road on both sides of the landslide site.

Officials said that the road was opened for one-way traffic from June 5, 2023, and two-way traffic was allowed from June 6, 2023, but it was closed again on June 6, 2023, after the landslide occurred.

Officials said that personnel and machinery are working to remove debris from the road and clearance may take some time.

The Mughal Road is an important link for the people of the Poonch and Rajouri districts, as it provides them with an alternate route to reach the Kashmir Valley. The closure of the road will cause inconvenience to the people of these districts.

The Indian government has been criticized for its failure to maintain the Mughal Road. The road has been closed several times in the past due to landslides and other reasons.

The closure of the Mughal Road is a reminder of the poor infrastructure in Indian-Occupied Kashmir. The Indian government has done little to improve the infrastructure in the region, which has made it difficult for the people of Kashmir to lead a normal life.

By-Election in Azad Kashmir’s LA-15 District Bagh: Mushtaq Minhas of PML-N Leading in Final Stages of Campaign

0

Muzaffarabad, June 6 (Azadi Times) The by-election campaign for the seat vacated due to the disqualification of former Prime Minister Tanveer Ilyas in district LA-15 of Bagh district has entered the final stages.

After the final alignment and large rallies, the candidates of Muslim League-N Mushtaq Minhas are leading. Until a week ago, the position of PPP candidate Zia Qamar was stable, which is not visible anymore.

In the by-election to be held on June 8, apart from the three major parties, around a dozen candidates including regional parties and independent candidates are in the fray. According to the statistics of the Azad Kashmir Election Commission, there are one hundred and forty-six thousand registered voters in this constituency.

According to a survey, the real contest is between Muslim League-N candidate Mushtaq Minhas and PPP’s Zia Qamar, while Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s candidate Colonel R. Zameer is not in the race. After Muslim Conference candidate Zulfiqar Advocate and Jamaat-e-Islami supported independent candidate Nisar Shaikh withdrew in favor of Muslim League candidate Mushtaq Minhas, the position of Mushtaq Minhas has become a little stronger.

Initially, Sardar Qamar-ul-Zaman’s attempt to improve the position of the candidate of the People’s Party by bringing together all the Maldial community also strengthened the impression of making a liberal party like the People’s Party a party of the community.

However, by the time election day approached, his reaction prompted all other communities to come together. This process also dealt a blow to the reputation of a big party like the People’s Party.

Apparently, Mushtaq Minhas campaigned slowly, but at the moment he is the only candidate who got votes at all the polling stations on the ground, who received votes from all communities and tribes without distinction.

He is meeting and acceptable to all communities. Chairman of People’s Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Senior Vice President of Muslim League-N Maryam Nawaz Sharif also addressed large public gatherings in Bagh, due to which the by-election of this constituency has become more interesting. The staff mission has been implemented and polling will be held on June 8.

Who are the main contenders?

The main contenders in the by-election are:

  • Mushtaq Minhas of Muslim League-N
  • Zia Qamar of PPP
  • Colonel R. Zameer of PTI

What is the likely outcome of the by-election?

It is difficult to say who will win the by-election. However, Mushtaq Minhas of Muslim League-N is leading in the final stages of the campaign.

Hindutva Leader T Raja Singh Targets Muslim Women in Hate Speech

Jammu: T Raja Singh, a Hindutva leader and former BJP MLA from Telangana, has once again targeted Muslim women by giving a hateful speech against Muslims.

Addressing a gathering in Telangana’s Adilabad district on June 6, Raja Singh urged Hindu women not to befriend Muslim women. He said that “Whoever has tilak on his forehead is my brother and a Hindu. I will only be friends with those who wear tilak and not befriend our women in a burqa.”

Raja Singh is notorious for his hate speeches and has been suspended from the BJP. His hate speech is a clear violation of the orders of the Telangana High Court which granted him conditional bail in the case of making an insulting statement against the Prophet of Islam. The court prohibited him from making inflammatory speeches against any religion and directed him to stay away from derogatory social media posts.

Raja Singh’s hate speech has been condemned by many people, including Muslim leaders and activists. They have called for his arrest and prosecution.

The hate speech by Raja Singh is a reminder of the growing Islamophobia in India. It is also a reminder of the dangers of communalism and the need to promote communal harmony.
