Nayeem akhtar biography of mahatma gandhi
New Delhi- PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday accused the Centre of projecting Jammu and Kashmir as “peaceful” whereas the fact was that blood was being spilled on its roads and people were being slapped with anti-terror laws for expressing their opinion.
Speaking at the Aaj Tak Summit here about “Naya Kashmir”, Mehbooba, a former chief minister, said her late father Mufti Mohammed Sayeed had tied up with the BJP in 2014 only because he wanted to usher in a new regime of peace in the state.
“My father had seen a statesman like Atal Bihari Vajpayee earlier and he had hoped that the new regime of BJP will work on the same ideology,” she said.
She questioned the use of the term “Naya Kashmir” and said “the new Kashmir that is being advertised is not the reality. Today an 18-month-old girl is sitting in a protest to get the body of her father who was killed by security forces.”
“Today, a Kashmiri Pandit was killed in broad daylight. The road is covered with the blood of a Bihari man and we call it Naya Kashmir? Is this what we anticipated from the word ‘Naya Kashmir’? Everywhere the situation is projected to be better, then why are the number of paramilitary forces increased, fresh bunkers built,” she asked.
She also targeted the central government.
“Forget ‘Naya Kashmir’ and let us talk about ‘Naya Hindustan’…. In Naya Hindustan, anyone talking about the Constitution is labelled as ‘tukde tukde gang’, minorities irrespective of being a roadside vendor or a film star are socially and economically outcast, farmers demanding repeal (of farm laws) are labelled as Khalistani and booked under UAPA.
“This may be the Naya Hindustan but it does not belong to my (Mahatma) Gandhi. This seems to be an India of (Nathuram) Godse and what they are making is Godse ka Kashmir where people are not allowed to talk and even, I am d Justice Ramalingam Sudhakar was born on 14.02.1959.

Sudhakar hails from a Senior PDP leader and former Education Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Naeem Akhtar, has expressed strong disapproval of the age restriction imposed on candidates for the Jammu and Kashmir Combined Competitive Examination (JKCCE). On Friday, Akhtar called out the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) for enforcing an age limit of 32 years, labelling it “unfair and biased” in light of the significant hardships faced by the region’s young population. The JKCCE Preliminary Examination is scheduled for 17 November 2024, but Akhtar fears that the current age limit will unjustly exclude numerous deserving candidates. He pointed out that individuals born between 1990 and 1999 have endured consistent educational interruptions, notably during periods of unrest in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2016, and following Jammu and Kashmir’s reorganisation in 2019. He highlighted that civil service exams were also halted for two years during this transition. Akhtar urged the Union Territory administration to raise the age cap to 35 years, arguing that this adjustment would provide a fairer opportunity for affected candidates. “The administration could at least offer these candidates some relief, recognising the setbacks they’ve faced due to ongoing instability,” he said. The PDP leader also compared J&K’s policy with other states, citing higher age limits for civil service exams in states like Odisha (38 years), Uttar Pradesh (40 years), Haryana (42 years), and Himachal Pradesh (35 years). Imposing a 32-year age cap in a region marked by conflict, he argued, is both unjust and discriminatory. Akhtar also addressed additional difficulties faced by candidates in the general category under Jammu and Kashmir’s revised reservation policies. “With the new reservation rules, it’s even more crucial to allow open merit candidates to compete up to the age of 35. Denying them this chance risks further marginalising them and excluding them from governance opportuniti
