Cong’ manifesto for Karnataka polls doesn’t mention banning of Bajrang Dal: Kamal Nath

[ad_1]
Bhopal: The Congress’ manifesto for Karnataka assembly polls doesn’t mention banning Bajrang Dal, senior party leader Kamal Nath claimed on Sunday.
The Congress is facing backlash from BJP and right-wing organisations for bracketing Bajrang Dal with the Popular Front of India (PFI) in the manifesto for the May 10 polls.
“There was no mention of banning Bajrang Dal in the Congress’ manifesto for Karnataka Assembly polls if we go by what is written in it,” Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kamal Nath told reporters in Seoni district.

He was responding to a query on whether the Congress will include the promise of banning Bajrang Dal in Madhya Pradesh also where elections are due at the end of this year.
“It was said by the Supreme Court, and people also want strict action to be taken against a person or organisation which spreads hatred and disturbs social harmony. Nobody is being targeted but those who are involved in such activities should face action,” Nath said.
Taking potshots at the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government, Nath alleged the law-and-order situation is very poor and the state tops the crime chart against children, women, and tribals.
He claimed the number of unemployed youth in MP has reached one crore.
The Congress leader also alleged rampant corruption in the state.

In its manifesto released last week for Karnataka polls, the Congress said it was committed to taking firm and decisive action against individuals and organisations spreading hatred amongst communities on grounds of caste and religion.
“We believe that law and Constitution is (are) sacrosanct and cannot be violated by individuals and organisations like Bajrang Dal, PFI or others promoting enmity or hatred, whether among majority or minority communities. We will take decisive action as per law including imposing a ban on such organisations,” the Congress has said.

Pregnancy tests for mass marriage ceremony: Kamal Nath seeks NCW probe

[ad_1]
Bhopal: Amid controversy over to be brides allegedly made to undergo pregnancy test in Madhya Pradesh’s Dindori district, Congress leader Kamal Nath on Thursday shot off a letter to National Commission for Women seeking a high-level probe into the matter.
Condemning the alleged incident, state Congress unit chief Nath, termed it as an “insult” to the women and questioned the legality of “testing” procedures.
Former Chief Minister Nath in his letter to NCW chairman Rekha Sharma alleged that on April 22, over 100 women had to undergo “pregnancy test”, which is against the “privacy of the women”.

He mentioned that the administration did not only conduct “pregnancy tests” but also made it public, and therefore, this “issue need a high-level inquiry from the NCW.”
Further, Nath mentioned that despite “growing atrocities” against women in the state, the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government is tightlipped and “insulting” the women with such unethical “pregnancy tests”.
“You are requested to conduct a high-level inquiry on Dindori’s issue and punish the officials who insulted the women by conducting their pregnancy tests,” Nath wrote in his letter to NCW Chairman Rekha Gupta.
A mass marriage of 220-odd women under the Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah Yojana was scheduled in the Gadsarai area on April 22. But of them, the marriages of five girls could not be solemnise as they were found to be pregnant.
The controversy erupted a day later when a local Congress MLA Omkar Singh Markam claimed that he has received information that five women were “disqualified” for marriage after they tested positive for “pregnancy tests”.

However, Dindori district administration maintained that “no order was issued for pregnancy tests”, and a test for sickle cell anemia (a genetic disorder reported among tribals) was carried out on all.
During those tests, it was found that five women had missed their menstrual cycles. Subsequently, the doctors carried out the urine tests of the five women, during which it was established that they were pregnant.
Officials have also said that “pregnancy tests” were conducted at the behest of higher authorities on some girls whose cases were “suspected”.
