Jammu and Kashmir Assembly

"Though it took us 36 years to unite against terror, it also brought us on the same page with the nation. The conspiracy was also to divide us, but we made it clear that no conspiracy can divide us," he said.
"We should have full faith in our Prime Minister who is running a government which has a strong will and has demonstrated it time and again...

"We must be rest assured that that 26 lives snatched from us will be avenged. The person who had made India proud is not the one who can stay silent," the LoP said.

for his outreach in the aftermath of the attack and said the all-party meeting convened by him sent a strong message that "we are standing united in this hour of grief".
"A united voice in this difficult time is necessary to make these nefarious designs of terrorists unsuccessful," he said, adding no words can compensate for the loss of victim families but the House wants to convey to the nation that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are badly hurt by this incident and share their sympathies with all the victim families from across the country.
He said the 90 elected legislators have a responsibility to ensure that no evil eye should harm the unity demonstrated by the people, irrespective of their religion.
Asking people to refrain from using language that can hit the morale of the security forces and the government, he said Pakistan fully understands that it can never win in a conventional war against India and is, therefore, plotting such conspiracies to disturb peace and incite polarisation.

Delhi Cabinet Approves Ordinance to Regulate Private School Fees
New Delhi: In a significant move aimed at protecting parents from arbitrary fee hikes, the Delhi Cabinet on Monday approved the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Ordinance, 2025. The decision was taken during the government's 8th cabinet meeting held at the Secretariat. Announcing the decision at a press conference, Delhi's Education Minister Ashish Sood said the ordinance is designed to rein in exploitative fee collection practices by private schools and bring long-awaited financial relief to parents. 'In the last 100 days, every cabinet meeting under Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's leadership has resulted in key decisions in public interest,' Sood stated. 'Today's approval is a major step towards ensuring transparency and fairness in school fee structures.' The ordinance, once enacted, will prohibit private schools from arbitrarily increasing fees and is expected to directly impact over 1,600 private schools in the capital. It will take effect retroactively from April 1, 2025, following the President's assent. This means parents who were compelled to pay steep fees earlier this academic year may be eligible for relief. Sood added that the ordinance will be sent to the Lieutenant Governor, who will forward it to the President of India for approval. 'This is a historic day for Delhi's middle-class families,' said Sood. 'For years, under the previous AAP government, parents were burdened by unchecked fee hikes. The BJP government is now taking a decisive step to end this injustice.' He also highlighted that this is the first major education-related legislative initiative by a BJP-led government in Delhi in nearly three decades. Framing the move as part of the broader vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,' Sood emphasized the government's commitment to transparent and citizen-centric enacted, the ordinance will serve as a regulatory framework for Delhi's 1,677 private schools, ensuring that fee hikes are justified, accountable, and in line with parents' expectations.

Ordinance to curb fee hike in private schools cleared by Delhi Cabinet
The Delhi Cabinet on Tuesday approved the Ordinance aimed at curbing arbitrary fee hikes in private schools — a move that the government says will bring long-awaited relief to lakhs of students and their families in the Capital. 'The Ordinance will curb arbitrary fee collection by private schools. The previous governments did nothing to check exploitative hikes by these schools,' Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood said at a press conference. The Ordinance, titled 'The Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Ordinance 2025,' was approved during the eighth meeting of the Cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday. The government had earlier prepared a draft of the Bill, which was due to be presented in May in the Assembly during the second half of the Budget session. However, the session was later cancelled. Once enacted, following President Droupadi Murmu's nod, the Ordinance will prevent private schools from raising fees without oversight and will apply retroactively from April 1 this year, the government said.'This retrospective provision will especially benefit those parents who were pressured into paying exorbitant and unjustified fees,' Sood said. He described the Ordinance as a 'major move towards ending financial exploitation of hardworking parents and ensuring greater transparency in the education system'. This is the first major education-related law that the Delhi government has pursued in nearly 27 years, the ruling party claimed. 'Today's decision stands out as a major step towards ending exploitative fee collection practices by private schools,' the government said. The move, said Sood, is aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' (development for all). The Minister promised that the Ordinance would 'secure the future of children studying in private schools.' The Education Minister was critical of the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) administration, accusing it of failing to check fee exploitation. 'During the tenure of previous governments, particularly the AAP, parents of children studying in private schools were repeatedly subjected to financial exploitation,' Sood said. 'Today, the BJP government in Delhi has taken a landmark decision to end this longstanding injustice,' he added. Earlier, the AAP too had criticised the BJP government for failing to check fee hikes after the party came to power in February. Once implemented, the Ordinance is expected to apply to all 1,677 private schools in Delhi, according to the Education Minister. 'This is a historic day for Delhi's middle-class families,' he added.
