Azad Jammu Kashmir State Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry, while seeking early solution of Kashmir issue said that peace and stability in the region was inescapably linked to the settlement of the lingering dispute. He expressed these views while addressing a special session of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly held in the State metropolis on Wednesday. The president, while referring to the Kashmiris’ matchless sacrifices and struggle to achieve their cherished goal of freedom, said that there was a dire need that the international community should play its role to resolve the dispute in accordance with the UNSC resolutions. Urging the global community to take notice of India’s nefarious designs in Occupied Kashmir, he said that after abolishing the special status of Occupied Kashmir, India was now hell-bent on changing the region’s demography. “Since 5th August 2019, Indian occupation authorities have issued fake domiciles to more than 42 million non-state Hindus”, he said adding that granting citizenship and other rights to outsiders was a deep-rooted conspiracy to convert the Muslim majority of the state into a minority. Referring to the changes made to the region’s political and electoral landscape, he said that the changes were purposefully made to pave the way for installing a Hindu Chief Minister in the state. Reiterating Kashmiris’ resolve to thwart Modi’s nefarious designs in the region, the president said India must bear in mind the fact that they cannot subdue the freedom spirit of the Kashmiri people through their military might. Paying rich tributes to Kashmiris’ sacrifices, the president expressed the hope that the day was not far away when Kashmiris would achieve their cherished goal of freedom from India. Referring to his recent visit to the UK, the US, Europe, and the Middle East, the president said that during his visits he had raised the Kashmir issue effectively at every forum. Voicing his serious concern over the worsening situation in the IoK, the president said that on the one hand, Indian occupation forces have wreaked havoc in the region, while on the other, people were being displaced and rendered homeless by the occupation authorities under the guise of so-called encroachment drive in the region. Stressing the need for raising the issue of Kashmir vociferously both at the national and international level, the president said that Kashmiris living abroad can play an important role in seeking the attention of the international community towards the plight of Kashmiris. Expressing solidarity with the people of Occupied Kashmir, he said that the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir stand shoulder to shoulder with their brethren in their struggle for freedom. Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry said, ” Let me make it abundantly clear that Kashmiris living on both sides of the ceasefire line will not accept the partition of Kashmir under any circumstances”.


Signal Surveillance under Dicussion by Reinfeldt
The Swedish Police Security Service (Säpo) may be allowed to run its own signal surveillance. Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt does not exclude that possibility, which at the moment is under study.
Reinfeldt told Swedish Radio News that the intelligence gleaned from surveillance is essential to several Swedish authorities and that the lack of it may have consequences for the Swedish public.
The Police Security Service has recently expressed concern that the new law on signal surveillance (FRA) will mean that they might miss vital intelligence essential to national security.
Reinfeldt says that this argument was lost in the debate regarding the new law. He stresses that there are threats to public safety and that many public agencies need intelligence in order to protect the Swedish people and democracy.

The minister added that the celebrations will be held in Sironko District under the theme ‘Consolidation of National Unity, Security, Freedom and Prosperity’.

The Minister also said that government believes that Uganda will attain middle-income status by 2040. She said that with the economic growth and national development now at about 6.3% for the financial year 2018/2019, up from the 6.1% for the financial year 2017/2018, the middle-income status is now in sight.


The Pakistan government has expressed its disappointment on the cancellation of a proposed meeting between External Affairs Minister (EAM) Sushma Swaraj and Pakistan Foreign Affairs Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi that was scheduled to take place on the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) 2018 in New York. Pakistan has said that reasons cited by the Indian government for the decision to cancel the Foreign Ministers’ meeting, within 24 hours of its public confirmation, are entirely unconvincing.
Further speaking about reasons given by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for the cancellation of India-Pak talks, Pakistan said that the alleged killing of BSF soldier took place two days prior to the Indian announcement of its agreement to hold the bilateral meeting. Pakistan said that it had conveyed it to BSF through official channels that Pakistan is not involved in the killing of a BSF jawan. Islamabad mentioned that in fact Pakistan Rangers had extended help to locate the soldier’s body.
Pakistan said that this was known to the Indian government and also the Indian media had reported about it, but even then India continued its motivated and malicious propaganda. Islamabad further said that they completely reject India’s claim and will also conduct a joint investigation to establish the truth.
Speaking about the Burhan Wani postage stamps, Pakistan said that they issued before July 25, 2018 elections. Pakistan alleged that the stamps highlighted gross and systematic human rights violations in Kashmir, which were extensively documented in a comprehensive report issued by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights as late as June 2018.
Pakistan has blamed India for falsely raising the terrorism issue and once again alleged that India cannot hide its unspeakable crimes against the Kashmiri people. Pakistan in its statement has also said that MEA’s statement on Imran Khan are against all norms of civilised discourse and diplomatic communication.
Pakistan mentioned that Imran Khan since the day he took as Prime Minister had expressed his forward-looking vision of Pakistan-India relations. Pakistan in its statement reiterated what Imran Khan had said that if India will take one step forward then Pakistan will take two.
Islamabad said that Imran Khan had welcomed Prime Minister Modi’s call for constructive engagement and proposed the meeting of the two Foreign Ministers in New York. Pakistan has blamed India for wasting a serious opportunity to change the present status of India-Pakistan bilateral relationship.


SNP ministers have been “sluggish” in implementing changes to health and social care, the Scottish Conservatives have said.
A report by Audit Scotland, due to be released tomorrow, stated while some progress had been made in implementing Self-directed Support, there was still more to be done.
The organisation added that the decade-long strategy was now in its seventh year, yet many service users were still to experience change.
Launched in 2010, the SDS initiative was designed to allow individuals and families, rather than social workers, to make the majority of decisions in relation to their care.
It was argued at the time that this would improve a number of areas, including dignity for service users and the ability to make informed choices.
Shadow health secretary Miles Briggs said the move to give people more choice over the health and social care support they need was welcome, but far too many were still awaiting the chance to take control.
Age Scotland added that people need more information relating to how they can access that personal support.
Scottish Conservative shadow health secretary Miles Briggs said:
“The change to allow people to have more control over the support they received was welcome.
“However, the Scottish Government has been sluggish in ensuring this option is available to everyone.
“It would appear from the Audit Scotland findings that, having made this change in legislation, the SNP has taken its foot off the gas.
“As the auditors note, we are now seven years into a 10-year strategy, but it’s a strategy which – as it stands – is leaving far too many people behind.
“It’s clear the Scottish Government needs to do more to support these vulnerable people.”

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday held a maha rally at the Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi to protest against the Centre’s ordinance on control of services in the national capital. The rally was attended by over one lakh people, including party workers, leaders, and supporters.
Addressing the rally, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal said that the ordinance was an attempt by the Centre to “control” the Delhi government and “destroy” the city’s democracy. He said that the AAP would not allow the Centre to “take away” the people’s rights.
Kejriwal also accused the Centre of “misusing” its power to “harass” the AAP government. He said that the Centre had been using the CBI and other central agencies to “target” the AAP government and its leaders.
The AAP chief also said that the Centre was trying to “spread” communal hatred in the country. He said that the AAP would not allow the Centre to “divide” the country.
The AAP’s maha rally is seen as a major show of strength by the party. It is also seen as a sign of the party’s growing popularity in the national capital. The rally is likely to boost the morale of the AAP workers and leaders ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The AAP’s protest against the Centre’s ordinance is likely to intensify in the coming days. The party has already announced a series of protests across the national capital. The AAP is also likely to move the court against the ordinance.
The Centre has defended the ordinance, saying that it is necessary to “curb corruption” in the Delhi government. The Centre has also said that the ordinance does not affect the powers of the Delhi government.
The AAP’s maha rally and the Centre’s ordinance are likely to set the tone for the upcoming political battle in the national capital. The battle is likely to be fought on the issues of corruption, democracy, and communalism.

The low-cost airline Ryanair, in collaboration with the Maltese government, has announced a €20 million investment in a maintenance and repairs facility on the island which will cater for the airline’s aircraft.
CEO of Ryanair Eddie Wilson addressed a press conference on Tuesday, announcing the substantial investment which allows for the airline to carry out repairs and operations at the Malta International Airport.
By means of its new MRO operations, Ryanair will have a more seamless operation in the country, as well as creating 250 new job opportunities, he said.
Wilson said that Ryanair has managed to grow its capacity by 115% from summer 2019 to the upcoming summer. He said that the airline has managed to keep all workers employed and has fully recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The €20 million investment will see the airline initially take over an existing hangar, before expanding to accommodate a further three bays later down the line.
Prime Minister Robert Abela said that the maintenance, repairs and overhaul facility on the island will lead to a more thriving aviation industry, as well as create 250 new quality careers in the sector.
He said that the investment will lead to a 25% growth in employment in this sector. Abela said that the government will give the opportunity for training in the sector through specialized academies and institutions to prepare employees with the appropriate skillsets.
Abela said that the removal of Malta from the FIAU’s greylisting will continue to improve the country’s standing to do business, sending a message of optimism to foreign investors.

Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are “known knowns”; there are things we know we know.

ANTI-drugs campaigners say they will take to the streets in a bid to force out dealers.
The group behind the newly-launched ‘United Against Drugs’ has announced it is planning a ‘name and shame’ protest in Wardleworth, Rochdale next month.
The organisers insist it will be a non-violent stand against the offenders who have been doing business in Wardleworth. They also plan similar action in Milkstone and Deeplish.
Group spokesman Mohammed Shafiq said: “The police have told us not to protest, but we have got to take direct action as a community.
“We are not vigilantes, just people who honestly want to do something about the problem. A similar protest was organised over prostitution in these areas last year and that was a success.”
Mr Shafiq also hailed the campaign’s launch as a success, attracting over 120 people, including police officers and former drug dealers, to Castlemere Community Centre on Sunday.
He says many members of the community have been receptive to its ideas, including the setting up of a crime hotline.
Other plans include a three-stage ‘name and shame’ drive, in which members would approach dealers and ask them to mend their ways, before warning their relatives and the wider community, but police have warned them not to take the law into their own hands.
“We now need to involve more community leaders, especially those from the mosques,” he added.

The Hague, July 7 (IANS) Concerted work on several national law enforcement investigations across the European Union (EU) has led to the dismantling of a large criminal network involved in migrant smuggling, Europol, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation, has said.
Close cooperation between the law enforcement and judicial authorities of Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK, supported by Europol and Eurojust, the European judicial cooperation authority, has led to 39 arrests and over 50 location searches, Xinhua news agency reported.
The criminal network is suspected of having used small boats to smuggle up to 10,000 migrants across the English Channel over the last 12 to 18 months. 'It is believed to be the biggest ever international operation targeting small boat people smugglers,' Europol said in a press release.
During the operation, the authorities also seized 1,200 lifejackets, close to 150 rubber boats and 50 engines, several thousand euros in cash, firearms and drugs. According to Europol, the operation targeted the leaders of the criminal network as well as its financial means, and therefore dealt a severe blow to 'one of the most significant crime groups involved in cross-Channel migrant smuggling.'
The investigation started in France on November 30, 2021, following the arrest of 16 suspects for facilitating the smuggling of Vietnamese nationals from Calais, France, to the UK. Later arrests followed in Germany, Belgium, the UK and the Netherlands.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has announced that Afghanistan needs immediate humanitarian aid, amid the dire economic situation.
UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Omar Abdi's on Monday said that Afghanistan is experiencing the worst period in the past two decades.
Mr. Abdi said on Twitter that humanitarian needs are felt now more than ever before in Afghanistan, and has warned that disruptions of aid will lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in the war-torn country, already plagued with critical challenges of different kinds.
“Some 28 million Afghans are in dire need of humanitarian aid, which needs the immediate attention of the international community, partners, and Taliban's caretaker government,” Abdi said.
During his visit with Afghanistan's Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore reiterated that the organization is committed to continuing its much-needed operations in the areas of education, healthcare, and children's vaccination in Afghanistan.
Prior to this, UNICEF had announced that Afghanistan is among the eight most hunger-hit countries in the world.
Meanwhile, the restrictions on women by Afghanistan's de facto authorities continue to increase, including restrictions on women's movement and access to public spaces, including parks, which is having a detrimental impact on women's and children's safety and well-being throughout the country.
The implementation of gender-based restrictions and the harsh winter have further complicated the situation for international aid organizations and aid groups to deliver lifesaving services to vulnerable families across Afghanistan.
Some aid organizations have even set the return of women employees to work as a precondition to the resumption of their operations, while others have already closed doors. Sharefacebook twitter whatsapp linkedin email print tumblr telegram
