Soft separatist politics making a comeback in J&K Assembly polls?

However, if the current scenario is any indication, it'd seem soft separatist politics is making a comeback in the run-up to the first Assembly polls in J&K post scrapping of special status.

MP Er Rashid, who was released from over five years of detention from Tihar jail on Wednesday on interim bail by Delhi court, is the most vocal mainstream leader to talk about the Kashmir issue.

In his speeches since his release, Rashid, who was detained by NIA in a terror funding case in August 2019 and lodged in Tihar jail, has been calling for the resolution of Kashmir issue. "My struggle is not for power or limited to Article 370 but for the resolution of Kashmir issue, which is in the interest of people of the subcontinent," he said.

‘Time for FIFA to think shifting WC to spring/autumn’

When the 2022 FIFA World Cup was shifted to November-December because of the merciless heat of the desert, there was a lot of hue and cry. Stadiums in Qatar had air-conditioning systems installed, and matches, despite the heat, went on. Argentina were crowned champions, and it is time to shift our attention towards North America—US, Canada, and Mexico—where the next World Cup is set to be held in 2026.
