The Janata Dal United (JDU) has made serious allegations against the Jan Suraaj Party and its founder, Prashant Kishor, accusing them of financial misconduct and misleading the public regarding their political intentions.JDU Bihar Chief Spokesperson Neeraj Kumar stated on Thursday that Kishor has been deceptive throughout his political career, claiming to be a political strategist and the founder of the Jan Suraaj Party. However, his recent political activities and sources of funding raise significant concerns. Kumar emphasized that substantial funds are reportedly being invested in Kishor’s party without any transparency about their origin, insisting that he must clarify the source of this funding.

The spokesperson claimed that Jan Suraaj is the first political party operated as a business entity. “Jan Suraaj Party is funded by the Joy of Giving Global Foundation, which is incorporated under the Companies Act. The party conducts its political activities under the banner of a charitable organization,” Kumar stated.

Additionally, he pointed out alleged serious irregularities in the foundation’s financial dealings. The foundation reportedly received ₹48.75 crore in donations during the 2023-24 fiscal year from various companies, with the donations significantly exceeding the reported capital of these firms. This discrepancy raises critical questions about the legality of the funds being channeled to the party.

Kumar demanded that Prashant Kishor explain the relationship between his party and the foundation, particularly why he personally contributed ₹50 lakh—suggesting it could be an attempt to avoid taxation.

He urged Kishor to provide transparency regarding the income sources of his party and its financial operations, arguing that operating a political party under the guise of a charitable foundation while exploiting tax advantages undermines democracy.

Kumar issued a 72-hour ultimatum for Kishor to address these concerns surrounding his party’s funding and its ties to the charitable foundation. “If Kishor fails to clarify, we will reveal more details on February 9,” he warned.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
