    Jaipur: The deadlock between the Rajasthan government and four widows of Pulwama martyrs turned murkier on Wednesday with one of them, Manju Jat, writing to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot alleging that the police beat her up, stripped her clothes and even pricked her with a pin.

    Manju, the wife of Pulwama martyr Rohitash Lamba, alleged that the police threw her as if she was a gunny bag when she was going to meet the Chief Minister.

    “Unable to bear the torurtue by the police, I am on an infinite hunger strike since March 4 and the Chief Minister will be responsible if something happens to me,” she said.

    Meanwhile, Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra has also written to Gehlot, asking him to look into the matter. Mishra said that the four war widows have sent a letter to him seeking permission for euthanasia, as he urged the Chief Minister to ensure that the right action is taken.

    Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat has shared a video of CRPF jawan Rohitash Lamba’s widow Manju, saying that Gehlot should stop this ‘dictator-like’ behaviour.

    Referring to Manju’s allegations of police brutality, Shekhawat said that instead of taking the necessary action, the Chief Minister is issuing statements on Twitter to blame her.

    “The government should break the fast of the widows of Pulwama martyrs. Gehlot ji, this dictatorship will not work,” Shekhawat said.

    Meanwhile, BJP Rajya Sabha MP Kirodi Lal Meena, who is also protesting with the widows, said, “On Tuesday, two ministers — Pratap Singh Khachariawas and Shankuntala Rawat — came to meet the protesting women.

    Both listened to their demands and assured to solve the issue. It was expected that there would be an announcement from the state government on Wednesday accepting their demands, but nothing happened.

    Instead, the Chief Minister is raising questions over the demands of these widows despite two of his own ministers assuring to solve the matter.”

  • I feel like an orphan: Jitendra Tyagi approaches President for euthanasia

    I feel like an orphan: Jitendra Tyagi approaches President for euthanasia

    [ad_1]

    Hindutva leader Jitendra Singh Tyagi posted a video on Twitter on Friday seeking permission from President Droupadi Murmu for euthanasia.

    In the video, Tyagi alleges ever since he embraced ‘Sanatan Dharma’ in 2021, he has been receiving threats, harassment calls, and being charged in fake cases by clerics in UP.

    Tyagi said he feels like an orphan because even after approaching several Hindu groups, including the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) he has not received any kind of help.

    “It’s been almost a year-and-a-half ever since I embraced ‘Sanatan Dharma’ and raised my voice against 26 controversial verses of Quran. Since then, I am unnecessarily being targeted by terror outfits and some hardline clerics who are framing me in false cases,” said Tyagi in a video statement issued on Friday night.

    He added that even though he gets ‘assurances’ from his Hindu supporters, no one seems to take the matter seriously. ” I got only assurance from these groups that they would convey my plight to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and seek help, but nothing has been done so far,” he said.

    “With no support from my Sanatan brothers in this hour of need, I have written to the President of India seeking euthanasia,” he concluded.

    Jitendra Singh Tyagi alias Waseem Rizvi, was the former chairman of the Shia Central Waqf Board in Uttar Pradesh. In 2008, Tyagi was elected as a Samajwadi Party corporator from Kashmiri Mohalla, Lucknow.

    In 2021, he claimed he saw Lord Rama in his dreams and decided to embrace ‘Sanatan Dharma’. He has since been a hard critic of Islam. He was booked for hate speech he made at the Dharm Sansad in Haridwar in December 2021.

    He has produced controversial films like Ram Ki Jamnbhoomi and is now working on a web series on Quran.
