[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said the state government has launched several developmental projects and public welfare schemes in the last eight-and-a-half-years, benefits of which are being availed by the people.
The Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP) scheme has been appreciated by many states and they have also shown interest in studying it, Khattar said while addressing a gathering after the inauguration of BJP’s newly constructed office ‘Karna Kamal’ in Karnal’s Sector 9.
The PPP, a family information data depository, is an e-governance scheme aimed at promoting paperless and faceless delivery of services to citizens, according to the state government.

Khattar said that on the basis of a survey done through the PPP, 12.50 lakh new BPL (Below Poverty Line) ration cards have been made in the state.
Continuing the state government’s tradition of celebrating the birth anniversaries of great men and sages, a state-level programme was held to celebrate Guru Gorakhnath Smriti Utsav, an official statement said.
During the programme, Khattar announced the establishment of a research chair at Baba Mast Nath University, Asthal Bohar, Rohtak in the name of Guru Gorakhnath, naming an educational institute after him
Khattar also announced the inclusion of the biography and teachings of Guru Gorakhnath in the school curriculum with the objective of making the younger children aware of the teachings of his teachings.
He said the government plans to honour the instrumentalists playing traditional musical instruments and is in the process of formulating a pension scheme.

“Our saints and great men have always played a significant role in removing social evils. Even today, their teachings hold relevance and for this reason, only ‘Sant Mahapurush Vichar Samman Evam Prasar Yojana’ has been launched,” he said.
“The Government plays a significant role in spreading the message of communal harmony and peace and teachings of saints and great men among the masses,” said Khattar.
Speaking at a party event, Khattar said that today the BJP has become the largest political party in the world whose number of active members is more than the total population of many countries.
He urged the party workers to take the policies and schemes of the government to the masses so that the people can get the benefits of these schemes.
He also said that to take feedback on development works and government schemes from the people, ‘Jan Samvad’ programmes have been started across the state.
On the occasion, former minister and BJP state president, O P Dhankhar, Gharaunda MLA, Harvinder Kalyan were also present.

Delhi HC seeks EC’s stand on plea against approval to amended AIADMK constitution

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday sought the stand of the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the AIADMK on a petition against the approval of amendments to the “original constitution” of the party.
Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav issued notice on a petition by B Ramkumar Adityan and K C Suren Palanisamy, who claimed to be primary members of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), against the ECI order which also endorsed the elevation of Edappadi K Palaniswami as party’s general secretary.
The petition said the order was “illegal” and passed without considering the petitioners’ representation.

The lawyer appearing for the petitioners told the court the amendment to the party laws was approved in a “very mechanical” manner.
“Issue notice returnable in six weeks,” the judge said and listed the case for hearing on October 10.
On April 12, the high court had asked the ECI to decide within 10 days representation by AIADMK to update in its record the party’s amended bye-laws.
The order was passed on a petition filed by AIADMK and its interim general secretary Thiru K Palaniswamy, which claimed that the records of the party were not being updated owing to certain internal disputes pending in AIADMK.
On April 20, the ECI had endorsed the elevation of Palaniswami to the top position of the AIADMK as its general secretary, thereby also acknowledging the expulsion of O Panneerselvam and his supporters from the party last year.

The EC had, however, made it clear that its decision to take on record the changes to the AIADMK’s organisational structure was subject to any further court order on the leadership dispute.
In the petition filed through lawyer Ashish Kumar Upadhyay, the petitioners said the ECI order was “illegal, ultra vires to the provisions of the Section 29A of the Representation of People Act 1951, the provisions of Original Constitution of the Respondent No.2 Party (AIADMK) and Natural Justice”.
“When there are civil suits pending before various forums challenging resolutions passed to amend the Party Constitution by the General Council on 12.09.2017, the Executive Council on 01.12.2021 and the General Council 11.07.2022 and Election of Shri. Edapadi.K.Palanisamy as the General Secretary of the Respondent No.2 Party, the Respondent has no choice to accept the Resolutions and amended Constitution of the Party on file,” the petition said.
“If the respondent has taken a decision to take the amended Constitution on file pending disposal of the civil suits, it will cause irreparable damage to functioning of the party and rights of the Primary Members,” the plea added.
AIADMK’s petition had earlier asserted that not updating the ECI records is wholly contrary to the various settled legal principles and the inaction will only cause severe disruption of the activities of the party which will in turn have a serious bearing on the democratic principles of the nation.
“The inaction of ECI has grossly violated the Article 19(1)(c) of the petitioners as petitioner no. 1 (AIADMK) is an association of persons and owing to the inaction of ECI, the petitioner no. 1 is not able to effectively carry out its functions which is the dire need of the hour especially owing to the fast approaching General Assembly Elections to Lok Sabha,” the AIADMK petition had said.
“The inaction of ECI is causing grave prejudice and hardship not only to the AIADMK party but also to the primary members of AIADMK party and entire citizenry of State of Tamil Nadu for the reason that absolute strangers to the AIADMK party are representing themselves as coordinators and other office bearers of party. They are also appointing various unknown persons to the posts of AIADMK party and such impersonation cannot be allowed in a vibrant democracy,” it said.

Urge PM Modi and Amit Shah to restore peace in Manipur: Mamata

[ad_1]
Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday expressed concern over the situation in violence-torn Manipur, and urged the prime minister and home minister to take steps to restore peace in the northeastern state.
The Trinamool Congress supremo also urged the people of Manipur to stay calm and uphold peace.
“I am deeply concerned about the situation in Manipur. Politics and elections can wait but our beautiful state of Manipur has to be protected first. I urge PM (Narendra) Modi and Amit Shah (home minister) to take steps to restore peace there. If we burn humanity today, we will cease to be a human tomorrow,” Banerjee tweeted.

The Manipur government on Thursday issued ‘shoot at sight’ orders in “extreme cases” to contain spiralling violence between tribals and the majority Meitei community, which has displaced over 9,000 people from their villages.
Fifty-five columns of the Army and Assam Rifles had to be deployed to contain the widespread rioting that broke out across Manipur.
The Centre, which is monitoring the situation in Manipur, also dispatched teams of the Rapid Action Force (RAF), a specialised force to handle riots, for deployment in violence-hit areas of the northeastern state.

Deve Gowda hits back at Modi for calling JD(S) B-team of Congress

[ad_1]
Hassan: Former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda on Thursday hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for calling JD(S) a B – team of Congress party.
Speaking to reporters in Arsikere town of Hassan district in Karnataka, Deve Gowda stated, it does not suit the standards of a tall leader like PM Modi to talk lightly about JD(S) party. “PM Modi has ruled the country as the Prime Minister for almost 10 years. I feel that PM Modi talking about our party was uncalled for,” he said.
“I have never thought that PM Modi would say something dubbing JD(S) as B-team of Congress. PM Modi is reiterating Rahul Gandhi’s statement in the last assembly election. There is no difference in the statements of both the leaders,” he claimed.

Rahul Gandhi had claimed that JD(S) is the B-team of BJP.
The party should not have brought the tall leader such as PM Modi to the level of Rahul Gandhi, Deve Gowda stated. PM Modi and Amit Shah are proclaiming that voting for JD(S) is equivalent to voting for Congress party.
Former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, Deve Gowda’s son, had stated that the charishma and image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has come down and his aggressive campaign won’t have any impact in the Karnataka assembly elections.
Kumaraswamy stated, after nine years, the image of PM Modi has come down. The national leaders from New Delhi are coming to to the state for election campaigns. They should have come when the people of the state were in distress. “They did not come then, now arriving,” he taunted.
Now, PM Modi is coming down in Karnataka and waving at people in roadshows. What is the contribution of BJP to Kalyana Karnataka region? Ten years have passed since the verdict of Krishna River Tribunal. What has been done by Congress and BJP? Kumaraswamy asked.

PM Modi claims that Congress and JD(S) have done injustice to farmers? He should tell what injustice has been done to farmers? They did not give instalment of Fasal Bima Scheme, now Modi claims they are giving water at doorsteps. In which village Jal Jeevan Mission is successful? Kumaraswamy questioned

NCP imbroglio won’t derail MVA, asserts Uddhav Thackeray

[ad_1]
Mumbai: In his first reaction to the ongoing crisis rocking the Nationalist Congress Party since three days, Shiv Sena (UBT) President Uddhav Thackeray said that it will not affect the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), three-party alliance comprising even the Congress.
“I don’t think it will have any impact on the MVA… Even from my side we shall not do anything that could create cracks in the alliance,” declared Thackeray while interacting briefly with the mediapersons.
When asked whether he had spoken to NCP President Sharad Pawar to reconsider his move to step down as party chief, Thackeray shot back in lighter vein: “Who am I to advise Sharad Pawara? What if he doesn’t heed my advice…”

The ex-CM pointed out that Pawar Saheb has the right to take his decisions and each worker of his party (NCP) has the right to convey their reaction to their leadership, and “let’s wait for the NCP committee meeting of tomorrow.”
On his planned Saturday visit to the protest-hit Ratnagiri Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd project coming up with Arab help at a cost of Rs 3 lakh-crore, Thackeray said that he is going to meet the people of Barsu and surrounding villagers who are opposing the plant.
“I am not going there to see the strength of the Shiv Sena (UBT) or the Bharatiya Janata Party, but to meet and interact with the local population, hear out their problems or grievances. Unless all their apprehensions are cleared, the project should not be pushed through,” reiterated Thackeray.
To a query on Pawar’s adverse comments in his autobiography, ‘Lok Majhe Sangati’, Thackeray guardedly said that he had nothing to say as “my work as CM is before the whole world and the people of the state who are like a family.”
Nevertheless, Sena (UBT) Chief Spokesperson and MP Sanjay Raut has stated that he would reply to Pawar’s observations on Thackeray through the ‘Saamana Group’ soon.

Telangana: DGP asks cops to monitor Maoist movement in state

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana director general of police (DGP) Anjani Kumar on Thursday asked police in the state officials to be alert and monitor Maoist movement and activity across Telangana.
At a workshop conducted through video conference on Thursday that was attended by senior police officials and those working in the districts bordering Maoist affected states, the DGP said said that any small incident in Telangana will have a severe impact on developmental activities. He asked police officers to be more alert in these situations.
The meeting was held on the sidelines of the incident in which 10 security personnel and one civilian were killed in a landmine blast under the Arunapur police station limits in South Bastar on April 26.

Additional DG Greyhounds Vijay Kumar, Additional DG Sanjay Kumar Jain, Inspector General (Special Branch) Prabhakar Rao, and other senior officials were present in this workshop.
Anjani Kumar, in the background of the approaching Telangana Assembly elections, said that officials have been advised to take adequate precautions in terms of security during the visit of political dignitaries and VVIPs in the state.
“There is a possibility that the movements of Maoist action teams will increase in the border areas of the States, and officials should be more cautious in that regard. He said that the Maoists are acting strategically and through one violent incident they are instilling fear in thousands of people. The officers should be alert at all times in such situations,” the Telangana DGP told officers.
The DGP said that since there are 80 per cent newly recruited policemen in Telangana, they should be more aware of Maoist strategies, actions and attacks. Additional DGP (Operations) Vijay Kumar said a special training will be arranged for the PSOs of VIPs on providing security in case of sudden attacks by Maoists and unexpected situations.
Inspector General Prabhakar spoke about the current situation with regard to Maoists in the Telangana and explained the security measures taken by the police through a powerpoint presentation. He suggested that newcomers constantly gather information about the movement of Maoists by interacting with the people at the village level.
