Restoration of Article 370, statehood to J&K necessary for peace in region: CPI-M
Addressing the convention, CPI(M) general secretary M A Baby said, 'CPI(M) has been firm that restoration of Article 370, statehood and other legitimate constitutional rights will pave the way for building confidence among the people of J&K, which is quite necessary for peace in the area.' He lauded the role of Kashmiris for holding spontaneous protests over the killings of tourists at Pahalgam on April 22. Srinagar, Jun 11 (PTI) The CPI(M) on Wednesday said restoration of Article 370 and statehood to Jammu and Kashmir will pave the way for building confidence among people of the Union Territory, asserting that it is 'necessary' for peace in the region. 'Unity among the people is necessary to thwart the forces of disharmony in the society,' Baby said. The CPI(M) general secretary said post Pahalgam attack, the party demanded for summoning of a special session of Parliament to discuss the situation arising after the Pahalgam terror attack, 'but the government seems to be reluctant to face the Opposition'. CPI(M) MP Amra Ram, while addressing the convention, said that the party 'vehemently favoured the restoration of unceremoniously snatched democratic rights of the people of J&K on August 5, 2019 even without consulting the stakeholders'. 'For the first time in the constitutional history of India, a state was bifurcated and downgraded into two separate Union territories which is against the democratic spirit and ethos of the country,' he said. MP Bikash Ranjan Battacharya said Kashmiryat is a symbol of unity and brotherhood which withstood its testimony during 1947 partition when whole of the sub-continent was engulfed in bloodshed. 'This unity needs to be strengthened in the larger interest of the people of J&K,' he said. Senior CPI(M) leader from J&K and Kulgam MLA, M Y Tarigami, said during the 'testing times' in the aftermath of August 5, 2019, the CPI(M) vehemently opposed the constitutional 'onslaught' of abrogation of Article 370 and downgrading of the state into two separate Union territories. 'It was a direct assault on the bond of J&K with the Union of India. This is the sole example in the country where the boundaries of the state were changed by imposing curfew, restrictions on media/press, and detaining of the political leadership and activists,' he said. He said the government of India must respect the mandate of J&K people and stick to its commitment given on the floor of the Parliament for restoration of full statehood. Meanwhile, a delegation of CPI(M) leaders, currently on a visit to J&K, called on National Conference president Farooq Abdullah at his residence. During the meeting, discussions were held on the prevailing situation in J&K, with both sides emphasizing the importance of peace, dialogue, and safeguarding the democratic and constitutional rights of the people, the NC said in a statement. The party said it was unanimously felt that the people aspired for lasting peace, dignity, and stability. PTI SSB KVK KVK KVK This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

RBI's policy rate cut to boost growth as inflation eases: BoB report
New Delhi [India] June 11 (ANI): The decision of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to slash the policy rate will boost growth amidst easing price pressures and infuse liquidity along with supporting credit flow, said a report by Bank of Baroda. The BoB report added that the RBI's surprise 50 basis-point rate cut, along with a phased 100 basis-point reduction in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), has signalled a strong pro-growth stance. The announcements have been welcomed by markets and are expected to spur economic activity in the coming quarters. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) maintained its GDP growth forecast for FY26 at 6.5 per cent. The RBI revised the inflation projection downward to 3.7 per cent, highlighting its confidence in the current macroeconomic environment. On June 6, RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) reduced the policy repo rate under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility by 50 basis points to 5.5 per cent. Consequently, the Standing Deposit Facility Rate, which is the SDF Rate, shall stand adjusted to 5.25 per cent, and the Marginal Standing Facility MSF Rate and the Bank Rate shall stand adjusted to 5.75 per cent. 'These measures are expected to boost growth amidst easing price pressures and infuse liquidity along with supporting credit flow,' the report added. 'In the coming week, focus would shift towards the US Fed, wherein a pause is expected, especially since the labour market has been signalling some strength,' the report added. India's monetary move comes against a backdrop of renewed optimism in the global economy, as the United States and China begin working towards concluding new trade terms. The report added that global central banks have adopted a watchful stance, closely monitoring the inflation risks with growth. 'Global central banks closely monitored the evolving dynamics between growth and inflation,' the report added. The European Central Bank (ECB) recently cut rates by 25 basis points. As per the report, the attention now turns to the US Federal Reserve, which is widely expected to pause its rate changes given recent labour market resilience. 'In the coming week, focus would shift towards the US Fed, wherein a pause is expected, especially since the labour market has been signalling some strength,' the report added. (ANI)
