"There are no takers for your malware" were the words of Indian ambassador to the United Nations as he gave a befitting reply to Pakistan after the country raised the issue of Kashmir yet again.&nbsp;

"One delegation that epitomizes the dark arts has, yet again, displayed its wares by peddling falsehoods earlier today. These we dismiss with disdain.

Supreme Court orders review on all restrictive orders in Jammu and Kashmir after Article 370 abrogation

After the Supreme Court on Friday directed the Jammu and Kashmir administration to review the restrictive orders imposed in the Union Territory within a week, Congress leader <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/supreme-court-to-pass-order-on-plea-against-government-formation-in-maharashtra-264525">Kapil Sibal</a> on Friday questioned Home Minister <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/jnu-row-protesters-in-mumbai-moved-from-gateway-of-india-to-azad-maidan-272640">Amit Shah</a>, asking what was the 'emergency' behind imposing Section 144 on August 4, 2019, and said that it cannot be used to 'suppress' the freedom of speech. 
 
Addressing a press conference at the Congress headquarters, Sibal said, "I want to ask the Home Minister (Amit Shah) that what was the emergency on August 4? You cannot use <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/uttar-pradesh-section-144-extended-for-security-in-ayodhya-till-25-february-270783">Section 144</a> to suppress freedom of speech. I want to tell the Home Minister, the government that if it will listen to the voice of people, it will always remain in governance." 
 
The top court while hearing the petitions challenging restrictions in Jammu and Kashmir stated that the right to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/opinions/protests-in-the-times-of-internet-shutdowns-271396">access the internet</a> is a fundamental right under Article 19 of the Constitution of India. 
 
"Today the Supreme Court has given a historic <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/supreme-court-orders-review-on-all-restrictive-orders-in-jammu-and-kashmir-after-article-370-abrogation-273307">verdict</a> in the matter of Jammu and Kashmir, the citizens of the country were worried that the people do not know about the situation in Kashmir. No one was able to get out of the house, there was no communication, that is why we had filed a petition and stated that Section 144 should be reviewed," said Sibal. 
 
"The court has clearly stated that whatever order regarding the imposition of Section 144, the Jammu and Kashmir administration should put in the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/envoys-term-srinagar-interaction-with-locals-positive-internet-restoration-peace-dominate-the-meet-273264">public domain</a> so that people can challenge it if they want to. Moreover, the decision to suspend internet services cannot be made for an indefinite time," he added. 
 
The top court said that Kashmir has seen a lot of violence and that it will try to maintain a balance between human rights and freedoms with the issue of security. 
It also directed the Jammu and Kashmir administration to review the restrictive orders imposed in the region within a week. "The citizens should be provided highest security and liberty,' the apex court said. 
 
The top court made observations and issued directions while pronouncing the verdict on a number of petitions challenging the restrictions and internet blockade imposed in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/jammu-kashmir-is-now-corruption-free-mukhtar-abbas-naqvi-273161">Jammu and Kashmir</a> after the abrogation of Article 370 in August last year. 
 
The Supreme Court had on November 27 reserved the judgment on a batch of petitions challenging restrictions imposed on communication, media and telephone services in Jammu and Kashmir pursuant to revocation of Article 370.

. 
The petitions were filed after the central government scrapped Article 370 in August and bifurcated Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories, Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. 
 
Following this, phone lines and the internet were blocked in the region. The government had, however, contended that it has progressively eased restrictions.

Jammu & Kashmir is now corruption free: Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi

India is all set to take around 15 foreign envoys to the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday. Confirming the development, a source told WION, "a group of 15 envoys based in Delhi are being taken to the UT of Jammu and Kashmir on 9-10 January to see first-hand the efforts being made by the government to bring the situation to normal.

India is all set to take around 15 foreign envoys to the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday. Confirming the development, a source told WION, "a group of 15 envoys based in Delhi are being taken to the UT of Jammu and Kashmir on 9-10 January to see first-hand the efforts being made by the government to bring the situation to normal." WION first broke the story on Tuesday evening with the dates of the visit. The ministry of external affairs had been receiving requests from envoys for a visit to Kashmir and the government source said, "Our consistent position has been that we may consider the request only after analyzing the security situation and checking the on-ground situation with the J&K Administration". While envoys of Latin America, ASEAN and Africa will be going, envoys of the European Union are expected to go on a later date. One EU envoy to WION on why they could not attend foreign envoy's Kashmir visit said, "It was communicated with very short notice and the majority of us need to get the agreement of our authorities." adding, "In any case, we are still discussing with MEA" Government sources said that EU envoys have welcomed the initiative by the government and select EU envoys were invited since the aim was to keep the group broad-based. Asked, if any envoy had asked to meet anyone detained, the government source said, "no specific request was made and the group was free to interact with people subject to security considerations" Australia is not able to be part of foreign envoy's Kashmir visit since they are preparing for the Aussie FM's India visit. Same stands true for another Asian country, whose delegation is in the town. The visit by foreign envoys comes even as criticisms over India keeping the region cut off. Kashmir woke up to a new year of freedom on January 1 as SMS services were restored across the valley from midnight on Tuesday, i.e. on December 31. The news is being seen as a welcome measure in restoring freedoms for the Kashmiris as normalcy returns gradually in the valley. Earlier on October 14, postpaid mobile services were also restored. Last October, India took the European Union Parliamentarians to the union territory of Kashmir. It was the first such visit by an international delegation post-abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. The visit by the members of the European Parliament had come at a time when the Centre was making efforts to restore normalcy in the region.

The comments come after a series of reports in Pakistani media quoting diplomatic sources that Saudi Arabia is told to hold a special meeting of the OIC foreign ministers on the matter of Kashmir and that it could be held as early as April 2020 in Islamabad.

The move was being looked at as a concession or reward to Pakistan by Saudi Arabia for not participating in the Kuala Lumpur summit.&nbsp;

Diplomatic sources in Pakistan told WION that the dates could fluctuate on the matter as it would depend upon the scheduling and availability of Foreign Ministers of the member countries.

Diplomatic sources told WION that the matter was discussed last week during the visit of the Saudi Foreign Minister to Islamabad.

The possibility to hold a special meeting of the OIC foreign ministers was conveyed by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud during a meeting with Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi at the Foreign Office.

Prince Faisal was on a day-long visit to Pakistan to convey the Saudi leadership’s gratitude for not participating in the recently held Kuala Lumpur summit in view of the kingdom’s reservations and dispelling the impression that Riyadh’s attitude towards Islamabad was patronising.

The spokesperson of Ministry of External Affairs Raveesh Kumar on Thursday rebuffed claims of any upcoming meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Kashmir and dubbed the reports as 'speculative'.

Real Kashmir Football Club on Thursday played their first home game after the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status. A large crowd had gathered to witness the first big football game of this year in the valley. The game played between Real Kashmir FC and Chennai City was nail-biting as the hosts scored two goals to defeat the visiting side by 2-1.&nbsp;

This was also the first time that such a big gathering was allowed in the city after the abrogation of Article 370. Although the stadium has a capacity of 15,000, only 2,000 tickets were kept available for the people keeping in view the law and order situation.

The enthusiastic crowd kept cheering for the home club throughout the match. BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav was also present to witness the game. Madhav said that he is a fan of Real Kashmir FC and would want the team to win the cup.&nbsp;

"It's after a long time that a great football match was to take place and I came to watch it. I am a fan of Real Kashmir FC. I came late but the team scored two goals while I was there. They won and I am congratulating them. My best wishes to the team," said Madhav after witnessing the game.&nbsp;

Real Kashmir Football Club in Kashmir is making a slow rise which has caught the imagination of football fans across the globe for the last three years. All the sporting activities came to a grinding halt after government-imposed restrictions in the Kashmir valley, just days before the abrogation of article 370 and 35-A of the Indian constitution.

"I study in Chennai and I came here to watch this match. This club inspires us towards sports activities. Be it hot or cold, people in Kashmir turn up to support this club," said a boy, who had come for the game.&nbsp;

The Real Kashmir FC has already qualified I-league and beaten the top Indian football clubs. The club has created waves at the Indian domestic league and what's special now is that the team has got the backing of sportswear giant Addidas.&nbsp;

Also known as the 'snow leopard', Real Kashmir Football Club is the first such team that is uniting Kashmir. Recently, the team added players from Nigeria and Scotland to their colours which is attracting more people to witness the game being played under the winter sun.&nbsp;
