WHO WAS JAGMOHAN : MESSIAH OR MURDERER ?

By:

Jagmohan Malhotra was the governor of the state twice, from April 26, 1984, to July 11, 1989, and then from January 19, 1990, to May 26, 1990. Both his tenures had a deep impact on Kashmir’s political and security scenario.


Malicious political propaganda is getting disseminated that exodus of Kashmiri Hindus started when "BJP man" Jagmohan was governor and BJP was in power at Center.

Let's find out the truth 

KP exodus started in 1989 itself, when Rajiv was PM. Farooq Abdullah was CM.

VP Singh, Minister in Rajiv's cabinet became PM on 02 December 1989, when Rajiv lost the election due to Bofors scandal. BJP supported him from outside, but did not join govt. In less than two months, on 18 Jan 1990, Abdullah quit as CM. As if on cue, the very next day, posters appeared all over the Valley asking Hindus to leave. Calls were simultaneously made from mosques asking them to 'Convert, leave or die'. The killings began and they fleeing became a flood.




Jagmohan was nowhere in picture then. He was re-appointed appointed Governor on  20 Jan. Reached valley on 22 Jan. He tried to bring the situation under control, but by then it was too late. The brutal killings and treachery of neighbours had forced Hindus to flee with nothing more than the clothes they were wearing. 5 lakh fled.

Jagmohan was not a BJP man, then.

In fact he was first appointed Governor by Indira Gandhi in 1984. He resigned in July 1989, and was asked by Rajiv to contest elections on Cong ticket, which he declined. Before resigning, he had warned Rajiv about the dark Islamist clouds that were threatening the Valley.

After being made governor again, when Farooq quit as CM, Jagmohan wrote an open letter to Rajiv Gandhi, warning him of dire consequences if nothing was done to check the Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism that had taken over the Valley.

You can read that letter here

When Jagmohan took office, the insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir was dangerously gaining momentum. Kashmir Life reiterates that he dismissed several state government employees for their involvement in 'anti-national' activities.' Along with that, he facilitated development in the region by improving road connectivity and expanding the roles of Mata Vaishno Devi and Amarnath shrines in Jammu and Kashmir.

Governor Jagmohan, the saviour of Kashmiri Pandits. If it wasn’t for Jagmohan’s intervention, Islamist terrorists would have killed thousands of more Hindus in Kashmir valley. Writes Senior journalist and a Kashmiri Pandit Aditya Raj Kaul.

रूस-यूक्रेन विवाद: प्रतिबंधों को लेकर अमेरिका क्यों कर रहा पक्षपात

By:
संयुक्त राष्ट्र में बार बार रूस के खिलाफ वोट ना करने को लेकर अमेरिका अब भारत के रूख को लेकर अनर्गल बयानबाज़ी कर रहा है। यूएस चाहता है कि कोई भी देश का रूस का समर्थन ना करे। हाल के दिनों में संयुक्त राष्ट्र में उसने जितनी बार रूस के खिलाफ प्रस्ताव लाया है, भारत ने उस प्रस्ताव पर वोटिंग से खुद को अलग कर लिया है। विशेषज्ञों की मानें तो इसका अप्रत्यक्ष मतलब यह हुआ कि भारत भी एक तरह से रूस के साथ ही है। इससे अमेरिका चिढ़ गया है। अब उसने भारत के खिलाफ भी क़दम उठाने की बात कही है। बता दें कि हाल ही में यूरोपीय देशों और दूसरे पश्चिमी देशों द्वारा रूस पर लगाए जा रहे प्रतिबंधों से रूस को अब थोड़ी परेशानियों का सामना करना पड़ रहा है। हालांकि, इन प्रतिबंधों के जवाब में रूस ने भी पश्चिमी देशों को अपने यहां से आपूर्ति की जाने वाली वस्तुओं को कम करने का फैसला किया है। उसकी भरपाई करने के लिए राष्ट्रपति पुतिन ने अब भारत को सस्ता कच्चा तेल मुहैया कराने का ऑफर दिया है। इसे देखते हुए यूएस फिर से आगबबूला हो गया है। व्हाइट हाउस की प्रेस सचिव 'जेन साकी' ने पत्रकारों के सवाल जवाब में एक पत...
