JAMMU: J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah Thursday condemned the Nov 10 Delhi blast and sought the severest punishment for the guilty but stressed that every resident of J&K is not a terrorist or terrorist sympathiser.”The brutal killing of innocent people is extremely shameful. Only a few are responsible for this attack. Not every Kashmiri is on the side of terrorists,” Omar told reporters on the sidelines of Jammu university convocation.Replying to questions about the arrest of Dr Arif Nisar Dar, who was sacked from his job at Srinagar’s SMHS Hospital in 2023 by the Lt Governor for alleged terror links, the CM asked why no legal action was taken earlier. “If you believed one had terror links and you had evidence, why didn’t you take that evidence to court to prosecute the person? Merely dismissing someone from service doesn’t solve the issue. Today, we are seeing the result of that,” he said.On white collar radicalisation, the National Conference chairman said, “Haven’t we seen university professors involved before? There is nothing new about it.”Earlier in his address to the students, Omar said, “The university has invested in you. Now it is time for you to invest in the world around you. Remember, success is not measured by what you achieve for yourself but by what you contribute to society.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Not An Apologist For BJP’: Shashi Tharoor On Row Over Backing Modi Govt During Op SindoorPune Road Accident: At Least 6 Dead, Several Injured After Truck Rams Multiple Vehicles’Message to world’: Amit Shah vows strictest punishment for Delhi Terror Attack culpritsAfghanistan FM Muttaqi Slams Pakistan’s ‘Illogical’ Demands After Talks Collapse In TurkeyMultiple IEDs, 32 Vehicles: Agencies Uncover Plan For Serial Car Explosions In Delhi Blast Probe30,000 Troops, 25 Warships, Fighter Jets: India Concludes Tri-Service Drill Trishul | Op Sindoor 2.0Muhammad Yunus Sets February 2026 Election Date For Bangladesh Along With Referendum On July CharterProject Cheetah Boost: President Murmu, Duma Boko Attend Handover in GaboroneDramatic Drone Chase Catches Attacker Who Fled Amravati Wedding After Stabbing Groom With KnifeIndian Air Force Opens Nyoma Airbase In Ladakh, A Strategic Game-Changer Along The China Frontier123PhotostoriesWorld Diabetes Day 2025: Sugar isn’t the only enemy, 5 hidden triggers that fuel insulin resistanceGuava versus banana: Which is better for breakfastTop 5 national parks in the U.S. to see fireflies before they’re gone from the Earth!Beyond hydration and fiber: This one juice can help cleanse colon naturallyExclusive – Bigg Boss 19: Neelam Giri opens up about her journey; reacts to buzz around Tanya Mittal’s luxurious lifestyle and calls Farrhana–Tanya’s friendship fake8 ways to add carrot to kids’ school tiffin8 stunning red snakes around the world that are nature’s gemsPriyanka Chopra just recreated a classic ‘Mandakini’ moment: 5 times she stole the spotlight with her sareesWisdom beyond centuries: 5 Chanakya quotes students can live byFrom neem leaves to moringa: 5 food habits to learn from PM Narendra Modi123Hot PicksBihar Election CandidatesBihar Election ConstituenciesBihar Election 2025Gold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingEpstein FilesAndy ReidGabrielle UnionAyesha CurryAja WilsonNico HarrisonKayla NicoleLamar JacksonNHL Trade RumorsDavid Kampf

New legislation, the Seeds Bill 2025, is set to replace outdated laws, aiming to provide farmers with quality seeds affordably and combat spurious products. The bill proposes stricter penalties for major offenses like selling fake seeds, while decriminalizing minor violations to ease business. It also seeks to boost innovation through liberalized imports and protect farmer rights. Representative image (AI-generated) NEW DELHI: Seeking to ensure farmers’ access to high-quality seeds at affordable rates and curb the sale of spurious and poor-quality seeds, the Centre has proposed a new legislation and circulated a draft bill to this effect to replace the existing laws.The proposed legislation, Seeds Bill, 2025, is expected to be introduced in the Parliament towards the end of the upcoming winter session in Dec. It may, however, be passed only during the Budget session early next year.The draft Bill also seeks to regulate the quality of seeds and planting materials available in the market, protect farmers from losses, liberalise seed imports to promote innovation and access to global varieties, and safeguard the rights of farmers, ensuring transparency and accountability in seed supply chains.The agriculture ministry, meanwhile, on Thursday released the draft Bill as part of the pre-legislative consultation process, asking stakeholders’ to come out with their comments and suggestions by Dec 11. The Bill will be finalised after examining those suggestions. Once passed in the Parliament, it’ll replace the existing Seeds Act, 1966 and the Seeds (Control) Order, 1983.The Bill provides for detailed dos and don’ts for seed production, registration of dealers/distributors for selling seeds, seed processing units, seed certification agency, plant nurseries, and establishment of central/state seed testing laboratories, and specifies actions to be taken against those who violate it.On the enforcement side, the draft Bill, however, also proposes to decriminalise minor offences in order to reduce compliance burden in sync with the government’s efforts to promote ease of doing business, while maintaining the strong provisions to penalise serious violations effectively.The major offences such as supply of any spurious seeds and non-registered seeds, and business of selling seeds without registration will continue to attract strict penalties, ranging from Rs 10-30 lakh, and imprisonment up to three years.About the AuthorVishwa MohanVishwa Mohan is Senior Editor at The Times of India.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor stated that a growing culture of loyalty to political leaders over principles is weakening India’s democracy. He observed that increasingly polarized public discourse leaves little room for serious engagement with political values. Tharoor’s remarks highlight his recurring call for politics rooted in principles rather than personality. Shashi Tharoor NEW DELHI: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Wednesday said that the growing culture of loyalty to political leaders over commitment to ideas and principles is weakening India’s democracy. Without naming any individual or party, his remarks appeared to question the trend of leader-centric politics – including within his own party.“Each party’s insistence on loyalty to its leaders rather than to a set of convictions and the very principles undermines democracy,” Tharoor said, as part of a broader reflection on India’s political future.He observed that as public discourse becomes “increasingly shrilled and polarised”, there is “little space left for serious engagement with political values.”Tharoor said India’s political imagination had long been shaped by larger ideological movements such as cultural nationalism, socialism, religious revivalism and even communism. Referring to the 1991 elections, he noted that India had then begun a “remarkable tryst with liberalism,” recalling political scientist Francis Fukuyama’s essay ‘The End of History’, which described liberal democracy as “the high point… of humankind’s political evolution” and “final form of governance.” Tharoor has previously emphasised that his “first loyalty is to the nation” and not to any political organisation. “Parties are a means of making the nation better… Sometimes the parties feel that is disloyalty to them. That becomes a big problem,” he had said at a recent event in Kochi.His latest comments, made in the context of India’s evolving ideological landscape, once again underline his recurring call for politics rooted in principles rather than personality.The Thiruvananthapuram MP is known for making unsettling comments for Congress. His latest remarks come days after he courted controversy for defending veteran BJP leader LK Advani, saying his long career in public life should not be reduced to one episode. “Reducing his long years of service to one episode, however significant, is also unfair. The totality of Nehruji’s career cannot be judged by the China setback, nor Indira Gandhi’s by the Emergency alone. I believe we should extend the same courtesy to Advaniji,” he posted on X.The Congress leadership swiftly distanced itself from those remarks, with party spokesperson Pawan Khera saying, “Like always, Dr Shashi Tharoor speaks for himself and the Indian National Congress outrightly dissociates itself from his most recent statement.”About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

The Aam Aadmi Party’s ‘Rojgaar Do – Samajik Nyay Do’ foot march entered its second day in Uttar Pradesh, highlighting the state’s high unemployment and caste-based discrimination. Led by Sanjay Singh, the 13-day march from Ayodhya to Prayagraj aims to demand jobs and social justice for the marginalized. – The Aam Aadmi Party’s “Rojgaar Do – Samajik Nyay Do” (Give employment, Give social justice) foot march entered its second day in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday, with party leader Sanjay Singh flagging issues of unemployment and caste-based discrimination in the state.Led by AAP’s Uttar Pradesh in-charge and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, the 13-day march began from Chandpur, Harbanshpur and Dhabasemer in Ayodhya, passed through Kalyan Bhadarsa and reached Bikapur.“Uttar Pradesh has sadly become the state with the highest unemployment in India,” Singh said while addressing the crowd. “Government vacancies remain unfilled, while farmers, weavers and small-scale workers continue to suffer economic distress and lack of opportunities”, he added.On the issue of social discrimination, Singh said, “Uttar Pradesh also leads in caste-based injustice.
