    Sambalpur: A high-level BJP delegation comprising Union Minister Bisheswar Tudu and several party MPs and MLAs was on Tuesday detained after being prevented from entering violence-hit Sambalpur city

    The team members were intercepted at Sripura Chhak on the Jharsuguda-Sambalpur road and denied permission to move further. Later, they were taken to a nearby Thelkoli police station and detained.

    Sambalpur Additional Superintendent of Police Tapan Kumar Mohanty said: “The BJP delegation was denied permission to enter the city because they were not abiding by the provision under section 144 of CrPC. They cannot be allowed entry into the city at a time when curfew is in force.”

    The team comprised Union Minister of State for Jal Shakti and Tribal Affairs Bisheswar Tudu, MPs Jual Oram (Sundergarh) and Suresh Pujari (Bargarh), MLAs Nauri Nayak, Shankar Oram and Kusum Tete, state BJP president Manmohan Samal and Sameer Mohanty.

    “I strongly condemn the Odisha government for preventing a Union Minister’s visit to Sambalpur where a tribal youth was killed during violence. As the country’s Tribal Affairs minister and myself also a tribal, it is my duty to meet the family members of the deceased tribal youth. However, I was stopped in the mid-way by police,” Tudu told reporters at Sripura Chhak where the team was intercepted by police.

    Stating that he will raise the issue with the Central government, Tudu said “It is unfortunate that the Sambalpur district administration stopped me and my colleagues to enter the city. They (administration) were given prior information regarding our visit.”

    Sundergarh MP Jual Oram, said: “It is unfortunate that the police stopped the delegation comprising BJP MPs and MLAs. We have been denied entry into the city while the rioters are moving freely.”

    Bargarh MP Suresh Pujari also came down heavily on the state government. “They prevented us fearing exposure of the police inefficiencies. The police have failed to arrest the killers of a tribal youth during the violence. The district collector of Sambalpur has been acting beyond her power.”

    Earlier, Pujari alleged that he was also not allowed to come out of his residence at Sakhipada. “I will raise the matter in Parliament,” Pujari said.

    BJP Odisha unit president Manmohan Samal, who is also a member of the delegation alleged that “the CM is fearing the BJP leaders as they might expose the inefficiencies in handling of the largescale violence in Sambalpur.” PTI COR AAM

  • Telangana: BRS burns Modi’s effigy protesting BJP’s march, 11 detained

    Telangana: BRS burns Modi’s effigy protesting BJP’s march, 11 detained

    Hyderabad: Tensions prevailed at the Kakatiya University as Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) protested at the varsity gate ahead of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s ‘Nirudyoga March’ on Saturday.

    Effigy of prime minister Narendra Modi was allegedly burned by the BRS party members. In a video shared on Twitter, some people, identified as associated with the BRS were seen trying to shred the posters of BJP while the security personnel were seen pulling them away.

    To bring the situation under control, Kakatiya University police took 11 persons into preventive custody and sent them to Dharmasagar Police Station.

    Upon suspicion that Hanamkonda police commissionerate would be encircled by the BJP party workers, the police have reportedly tightened the security.

    Bharatiya Janata Party’s Telangana unit chief Bandi Sanjay will hold a protest march against “unemployment” in the state on Saturday, the party said.

    BJP Spokesperson NV Subhash told ANI, that the march is scheduled to start from Kakatiya University to Ambedkar Statue and will be joined by people from different walks of life.

    Subash alleged that Telangana State Public Service Commission papers had been leaked by the people who are close to state minister KT Rama Rao and the chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, claiming that 30 lakh job aspirants are waiting to get a job in the state.

    “Their dreams have been shattered. We have approached the court and demanded immediate action to be taken against Rao. A sitting high court judge should be appointed to investigate the scam. Students who have appeared for the exam should be compensated,” the BJP leader said.

    “There will be many intellectuals who are going to join the Nirudyoga March from Warangal. Job aspirants will also be joining,” he said, adding they have got police permission for the same.

    The next leg of his march will be from Mehboobnagar on April 21 followed by Khammam, for which the dates are still being finalised, the BJP said.

    “I will be doing 10 rallies across the state and then conclude with a mega rally in Hyderabad,” Bandi Sanjay told ANI earlier.

    “There are three demands. IT Minister KT Rama Rao should resign following the paper leak. We demand an inquiry into this by a sitting High Court judge and compensation of Rs 1 lakh for all the students affected by the leak,” Sanjay further elaborated.

    Mumbai: The Mumbai police have tracked and detained a person who threatened “to kill Bollywood megastar Salman Khan on April 30”, top officials said here on Tuesday.

    On Monday evening, the Mumbai police control room received a call from one unidentified person who conveyed a terse message: “On (April) 30, I shall kill Salman Khan. You can inform him,” and disconnected.

    When the police control room staff called him back on the mobile number, he identified himself as ‘Rocky bhai’, a ‘gaushala rakshak’, speaking from Jodhpur in Rajasthan.

    Swinging into action, several police teams fanned out to track and identify the caller, who was traced to Dolkhamb village in Thane, nearly 50 km north of Mumbai.

    A police team reached there and attempted to catch him, but with the help of his friends, he managed to escape on a motorcycle.

    After a chase of some distance, the police team managed to intercept him and subjected him to questioning.

    He admitted to having made the threat call to the actor, and thereafter, he was handed over to the Azad Maidan police station in Mumbai, which detained him and is investigating further.

    The caller is reportedly said to be a minor hailing from Rajasthan and his identity has not yet been revealed, and police suspect it may be a prank.

    Telangana: BJP chief Bandi Sanjay detained by police from residence

    [ad_1]

    Karimnagar: Telangana BJP president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar was detained after midnight on Wednesday from his residence in Karimnagar ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the state.

    MS Education Academy

    Reportedly, he was taken to Bommala Ramaram police station in Nalgonda district.

    More details on the police action are awaited.

    BJP State General Secretary Premender Reddy said, “BJP state president Bandi Sanjay was detained by police past midnight. He has been held from his residence in Karimnagar illegally.”

    “They should have initiated any legal process in the morning, where would Bandi Sanjay go? This is nothing but to disturb PM Modi’s programme in Telangana,” Reddy alleged.

    “What was the need for this action against a Member of Parliament at midnight? What are the crime and case? They are not telling us anything. He is being taken to Bhongir. Why is he being taken there?” Reddy further questioned.

    “The reason behind this action is that we are raising our voice against the KCR government over the question paper leak case. This is all against the ‘Democracy’,” he alleged.

    Telangana BJP leaders following the detention of Bandi Sanjay said that a state-wide protest would be launched.

    “We are planning to do a state-wide protest against the police action against the BJP State President,” added Reddy.

    PM Modi is scheduled to visit Telangana on April 8 to inaugurate Vande Bharat Express train from Secunderabad to Tirupati along with launching various other developmental projects.

    Midnight March: AISA claims 15 activists detained, police deny charge

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: All India Students’ Association (AISA), a students’ group on Monday claimed that around of its 15 activists were detained from outside the Indraprastha College for Women, where they had gathered to stage a protest against the alleged harassment of girl students during a fest last week.

    Led by the AISA, the agitators had gathered to protest against the alleged incident and the administration’s response to it.

    “About 15 AISA activists have been detained from the college gate and are being taken to Burari police station,” the students’ body’s Delhi unit president Abhigyan alleged.

    A senior police officer, however, denied the allegation.

    “Around 10-15 protesters had gathered outside the college gate. They were removed peacefully,” he said.

    No one has been detained, the officer added.

    Students at the Indraprastha College for Women, a Delhi University affiliate, last week alleged that some men scaled the institute’s boundary walls during a fest and “harassed several students”.

    Scores of students have held multiple demonstrations in the last few days, demanding the resignation of the college’s newly-appointed principal over security lapses during the annual fest and its alleged authoritarian steps.

  • Gujarat: Kajal Hindusthani booked for hate speech, 50 detained for communal clash

    Gujarat: Kajal Hindusthani booked for hate speech, 50 detained for communal clash

    [ad_1]

    Gir Somnath: Police have registered a first information report (FIR) against a right-wing leader for her alleged hate speech and detained more than 50 people on the charge of rioting following a communal clash at Una town in Gujarat’s Gir Somnath that left two persons injured, an official said on Sunday.

    The communal clash erupted in a sensitive area of Una town on Saturday night with two groups hurling stones at each other amid tension caused by the speech of one Kajal Hindustani at a ‘Hindu Sammelan’ organised on the occasion of Ram Navami on Thursday, in which she allegedly targeted the Muslim community.

    Una town had been on edge since the alleged hate speech. With traders keeping markets shut, the police and local leaders had on Saturday called for a peace committee meeting involving representatives of both communities who ensured normalcy. But hours after the meeting, a clash broke out in the communally sensitive area, police said.

    MS Education Academy

    “We have registered two FIRs. One is against Kajal Hindustani for hate speech, and another against the mob for rioting,” Superintendent of Police Sripal Sheshma told reporters.

    “We have detained 50 to 60 people and are going through the CCTV footage. We are using local intelligence and questioning the detained persons for further action. The accused will not be spared and strict action will be taken against them,” he said.

    Police personnel has been deployed in sensitive areas with some of them patrolling and some posted at static points. All the officers are available on call and all distress calls are being addressed on an immediate basis, he said.

    “Two State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) teams have been deployed in Una so far in this case,” he said.

    The leaders participating in the peace committee meeting reached a resolution, but the message did not reach the young generation and this led to a small incident of stone pelting, police said.

    Police carried out combing operations during the night in Una town and seized a number of swords, rods and other such objects from some houses.

    Nine held in Vadodara

    Meanwhile, the police in Vadodara city the state on Saturday night arrested a right-wing activist Rohan Shah and some others for “hate speech” during a Ram Navami procession in the city on Thursday. The case against them was registered under sections 153 (A) (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, and residence) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Shah is a local leader of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP).

    Vadodara police said they have also arrested one Mohammad Vora for allegedly posting an edited video on Facebook with the intention of spreading communal enmity.

    Members of two communities clashed after stones were hurled at two Ram Navami processions in Vadodara on Thursday, with the police registering FIRs and arresting dozens of people.
