‘My support will be with new J&K govt’: L-G Manoj Sinha ahead of Omar Abdullah’s oath-taking ceremony

Manoj Sinha said his role as Jammu and Kashmir lieutenant governor would be collaborative, with a shared goal of ensuring development for all sections.

Ahead of Omar Abdullah’s swearing-in as the chief minister of Jammu & Kashmir, lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha reflected on the changing political landscape in the union territory (UT). In an interview with The Indian Express, Manoj Sinha urged the new chief minister and the elected MLAs to focus on the people’s mandate for peace, prosperity, and development of Jammu and Kashmir. 

“My support will be with the new government,” Manoj Sinha affirmed, stressing the importance of financial stability and development for J&K’s future.

Manoj Sinha emphasised that militancy in the region was nearing its end, with candidates campaigning well into the night and voters enthusiastically participating. He noted the absence of violence, rigging, or re-polls, which he said demonstrated the significant shift in J&K’s political environment. “People voted in large numbers,” the lieutenant governor said, underscoring the increased voter turnout as a sign of the region’s progress.

When asked about the limited powers of the UT assembly, Sinha assured that his role as L-G would be collaborative, with a shared goal of ensuring development for all sections of society. He also dismissed concerns of a potential tussle between the chief minister and the L-G, promising to maintain a harmonious working relationship.

While refraining from speculating on the timeline for J&K’s statehood, Sinha reiterated the central government’s commitment to its eventual restoration, in line with earlier promises made by the Prime Minister and Home Minister.

The stage is set for Abdullah to be sworn in as the first chief minister of the UT of Jammu and Kashmir after the National Conference-Congress alliance won the maiden assembly elections held after the abrogation of Article 370.

The oath of office and secrecy will also be administered to Abdullah’s chosen ministers by Manoj Sinha at 11.30am at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC).

Jennifer Lopez felt she was ‘not good enough’ due to Latina stereotypes in Hollywood: ‘Imposter syndrome is real’

Jennifer Lopez opened up about her early days in the film industry and the importance of her ‘belief to belong’ which helped her to break certain moulds.

Jennifer Lopez has opened up about her initial years in Hollywood and how she used her self-belief to fight any doubts that crept in about her ability. The actor-singer, who has now spent over two decades in the industry, opened up about her challenges as a Latina actress in the film industry.

Jennifer Lopez on battling stereotypes

Appearing on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, JLo opened up about her early days in the film industry and how the change in Hollywood – regarding stereotypes and diversity – can be slow but still positive.

“I heard someone say that positive change is slow — and it is — but as long as we’re moving in the right direction, that’s what matters,” she said, adding, “When I started, there weren’t a lot of roles for Latinas. I was auditioning for parts with accents and stereotypes. I kept thinking, ‘Why can’t I just play a romantic lead? Why can’t I be the girl next door?’ That belief–that conviction that I belonged — was what helped me break those moulds.”

The actor, who started with roles in blockbusters like Anaconda before making a name for herself in romantic comedies, added that her journey wasn’t full of roses. Due to her upbringing in the Bronx as the daughter of Puerto Rican parents, Lopez admitted that she went through imposter syndrome in the initial years of her career.

“Imposter syndrome is real, especially when you come from neighbourhoods like I did,” she added. “But I’ve learned that it’s about what you tell yourself. You have to redirect that inner voice. Whenever the doubts creep in — ‘I don’t belong here, I’m not good enough’ — you need to replace them with, ‘No, I’ve worked hard. I do belong here.’ It’s a mindset that transforms everything.”

Jennifer Lopez’s upcoming film

The actor will be next seen in a biographical sports drama film titled Unstoppable. She will be playing the role of Judy Robles, the mother of NCAA wrestling champion Anthony Robles.

The film is based on the real-life story of Anthony Roble, a one-legged wrestler who defied all odds to become a champion. Directed by debutant Villy Goldenberg, the film stars Jharrel Jerome in the lead role. The film is produced by Jennifer’s estranged husband, Ben Affleck. The two began work on the project before they filed for divorce in August this year.
