The decision was met with widespread protests and condemnation from the Kashmiri people, who felt that it was a violation of their fundamental rights.

On the anniversary, Kashmiris held protests across the region, calling for the restoration of their special status and demanding that their democratic and constitutional rights be respected. In Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, protesters clashed with security forces, resulting in several injuries.

In a statement, the J&K Awami-e-Tehreek, a Kashmiri political party, said that the August 5th decision was “a day of injustice” and that the Kashmiri people would never forget it. The party said that it still had hope that the Supreme Court of India would restore their rights.

The J&K Awami-e-Tehreek also called for peace and stability in Kashmir, but said that it should be a “realistic” peace, not one that is used as a “propaganda tool” to gain votes. The party said that the current situation in Kashmir is far from peaceful, with frequent protests and clashes between security forces and civilians.

The J&K Awami-e-Tehreek also expressed concern about the lack of employment opportunities in Kashmir. The party said that it has been five years since the August 5th decision, and there has still been no election in the region. This means that Kashmiris have not had a chance to elect their own representatives, who could address the region’s economic and social problems.

The protests on Friday are a reminder that the August 5th decision is still a source of anger and resentment among many Kashmiris. It remains to be seen whether the Supreme Court will be able to resolve the situation and restore peace and stability to the region.

Zuljanah is a symbol of love, loyalty, and sacrifice in the history of Islam. It is a horse that stood by Imam Hussein (AS) during the battle of Karbala and demonstrated its devotion until the end. Zuljanah is not just a horse, but a symbol of the profound emotions and values that the Shia Muslims uphold to this day.

During the battle of Karbala, Zuljanah carried the banner and sword of Imam Hussein (AS) towards the tents and informed Bibi Zainab of Imam’s martyrdom. Bibi Zainab then went towards the site of the massacre where she witnessed the beheading of her brother Abbas.

After the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS), Zuljanah himself also passed away in an extremely wounded state. The women of the Ahlulbayt faced many hardships after the Imam’s martyrdom, which people continue to mourn to this day.

Zuljanah demonstrated its love and loyalty towards Imam Hussein (AS) and stood by him until his last breath, despite being severely injured. It also killed many soldiers of the Yazidi army during the events of Karbala. Zuljanah means “possessing wings or feathers,” and its name is a testament to its loyalty and devotion.

Shia Muslims hold great love and respect for Zuljanah and take care of it during the month of Muharram. On the tenth of Muharram, which marks the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS), Shia Muslims hold mourning processions and Zuljanah is also present with them in remembrance.

During the procession, Zuljanah is adorned and included in the procession, and arrows are tied to its body in remembrance of the battle of Karbala, the great sacrifice of the Imam, and Zuljanah’s loyalty, which is presented as a tribute.

Zuljanah is not just a symbol of the battle of Karbala, but also a reminder of the values that Imam Hussein (AS) represented and fought for. It reminds us of the importance of love, loyalty, and sacrifice in our lives.

Zuljanah is a symbol of the Shia Muslim’s commitment to remembering and honoring the sacrifices of the Ahlulbayt. It is a reminder of the great sacrifices made by the companions of Imam Hussein (AS) and their unwavering devotion to the cause of justice and truth.

In conclusion, Zuljanah is not just a horse, but a symbol of love, loyalty, and sacrifice. It is a reminder of the profound emotions and values that the Shia Muslims hold dear. It reminds us of the importance of remembering and honoring the sacrifices made by the companions of Imam Hussein (AS). Zuljanah is a symbol of the Shia Muslim’s unwavering commitment to justice and truth, and a testament to their devotion to the Ahlulbayt.

The central government has told the supreme court that any interference by the court to restore the pre-August 2019 position will be opposed to the public interest.

As per Hindustan Times, “Article 370, in its previous form, existed merely to temporarily manage the situation and ensure that a wider time frame is provided to complete this process of further integration and uniformity qua J&K. The transitory/temporary provisions under Article 370 were framed with limited purpose, having a limited life and were to be kept on the books till the constitutional parity with other units of the Union of India is decided to be achieved,” said the Centre.

The centre said that Article 370 was not an embodiment of any special status to J&K rather, only a “stop-gap arrangement” in order to achieve what had been completed for other states by 1950 itself.

“The complete integration and uniformity remained incomplete for the erstwhile State of J&K.. It was observed over the years that the existing regime under Article 370, and the exceptions/modifications carried out to other provisions of the Constitution of India by Presidential Orders were impeding, rather than enabling or facilitating, the full integration of the State of J&K with the rest of the country, which was neither in the national interest nor in the interest of the erstwhile State of J&K,” maintained the Centre, as per the report.

The centre said that the restoration of pre-2019 status will not only be against the national interest and the well-being of J&K, but will also lay the doors open for political, social, and economic uncertainties in the region, the Centre added in its submissions through the law officers.
