    New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday gifted a ‘Meghalaya Stole’ and a ‘Nagaland Shawl’ to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz who is on a two-day visit to India.

    Meghalaya stoles were originally woven for the Khasi and Jaintia royalty, who considered them as a symbol of their power and status.

    The weaving of Meghalaya stoles has been passed down through generations with a rich history.

    Also, the shawls woven for centuries by the tribes in Nagaland are known for their vibrant colours, intricate designs, and the use of traditional weaving techniques, which have been passed down from generation to generation.

    On Saturday, the Prime Minister received Scholz for a ceremonial welcome at the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan.

    In a tweet, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said Scholz’s visit is an opportunity to further deepen the multifaceted India-Germany strategic partnership.

  • Raj youth killed in Haryana: Owaisi slams Modi govt over activities of ‘gau rakshaks’

    Raj youth killed in Haryana: Owaisi slams Modi govt over activities of ‘gau rakshaks’

    [ad_1]

    Thane: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday attacked the Narendra Modi government for going soft on ‘gau rakshak’ vigilante groups claiming these serve the purpose of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

    Speaking to reporters in Navi Mumbai, where the national executive meeting of his party is being held, the Lok Sabha MP from Telangana also said alliances for the upcoming civic polls, as well as Lok Sabha and Assembly polls in Maharashtra next year will be decided in due course.

    Referring to the killings of two men from Rajasthan in Haryana on February 16, Owaisi said the Modi government had given a long rope to such ‘gau rakshaks’ (cow protectors).

    Nasir and Junaid, both residents of Ghatmeeka village in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan, were allegedly abducted by cow vigilantes on February 15 and their bodies were found in a charred car in Loharu in Haryana’s Bhiwani the next day.

    An FIR was registered on February 16 at Gopalgarh police station against five people under Indian Penal Code sections 302 (murder) 143 (unlawful assembly), 365 (kidnapping), 367 (grievously hurt after kidnapping) and 368 (wrongfully keeping in confinement) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence).

    “This is nothing but state sponsored violence against Muslims. The activities of such groups further the purpose of the BJP. They (BJP) want to create hatred against Muslims,” Owaisi said.

    The Modi government can take action against the BBC for an adverse documentary, an apparent reference to Income Tax department searches against the new agency, while such “terror groups” go untouched, Owaisi alleged.

    Modi Has Completed Integration Of J&K Into India: Amit Shah

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said that by reading- down of Article 370, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made the “merger” of Jammu Kashmir forever with India.

    Speaking at an election rally in Sandur, Karnataka, on Thursday, Shah praised the government’s move and highlighted the significant improvement in the situation in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation.

    Shah refuted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s claims of a bloodbath in the region, stating that the abrogation has led to the lowest figures of terrorism-related incidents. The Home Minister also added that the move has led to a lot of positive changes in the region.

    The abrogation of Article 370, which had caused harm to the country, was a significant move made by the BJP-led government in 2019, Shah said.

    Despite opposition from various political parties, the government’s decision has ensured the integration of Jammu and Kashmir into India permanently. The improved situation in the region has been well-received and is a cause for celebration for the entire country, he added.

  • Telangana: KTR’s remarks against PM Modi due to BRS’ desperation, says BJP

    Telangana: KTR’s remarks against PM Modi due to BRS’ desperation, says BJP

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Telangana BJP’s official spokesperson NV Subhash on Friday said that the ruling BRS, after realising that it is losing the confidence of people, is now resorting to ‘derogatory remarks’ against PM Narendra Modi.

    Reacting to KT Rama Rao’s remarks at Bhupalpally, Subhash said that KCR is unable to digest the popularity and people’s support for BJP.

    Telangana IT Minister KT Rama Rao (KTR) at a public meeting on Thursday in Bhupalpally, alleged that prime minister Narendra Modi was helping Gautam Adani become rich.

    “Modi indeed helped Adani get that money,” he said referring to the recent Hindenburg research report row. KTR said that the Prime Minister failed to fulfill his election promise to deposit Rs 15 lakhs in Jan Dhan accounts.

    “He is indulging in mud-slinging by using objectionable words against the Modi government,” said the BJP spokesperson.

    NV Subhash stated that inspite of the BJP’s challenge for an open debate on the funds from centre to Telangana,’ the BRS ministers are not coming forward.’

    He alleged that all the scams happening in the country led to Pragathi Bhavan and members of chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s family and BRS leaders being involved.

    He echoed the statement of BJP party chief Bandi Sanjay that the BJP would destroy the tombs if they are voted to power.

    Subhash said, “BRS is in power not because of Muslim votes, it is your duty and responsibility to protect our culture and respect sentiments of Hindu voters.”

    Hyderabad: Telangana IT Minister KT Rama Rao (KTR) at a public meeting on Thursday in Bhupalpally, alleged that prime minister Narendra Modi was helping Gautam Adani become rich.

    “Modi indeed helped Adani get that money,” he said referring to the recent Hindenburg research report row. KTR said that the Prime Minister failed to fulfill his election promise to deposit Rs 15 lakhs in Jan Dhan accounts.

    “Though the NITI Aayog recommended the Centre to grant Rs.19,000 crore to Mission Bhagiratha and Rs.5,000 crore to Mission Kakatiya, the Centre has not sanctioned a single rupee for these schemes,” he said.

    KTR further argued that the PM was responsible for the death of 700 farmers during the protests against the Centre but the BJP leaders still call him God.

    “I am asking them for whom he is a God,” he added.

    He said that the prices of LPG cylinders have increased from Rs 400 to Rs 1200 during the Modi Government.

    Speaking about Congress, he said that people should not get carried away by propaganda spread by the party that was conducting foot marches in the state. “But what did Congress do for the united Andhra Pradesh when it was in power for five decades? The state will suffer a lot if they are given power again,” he said.

  • Screening of BBC documentary on Modi at Visva Bharati stalled

    Screening of BBC documentary on Modi at Visva Bharati stalled

    [ad_1]

    Kolkata: An attempt to screen the controversial BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the 2002 Gujarat riots on the campus of Visva Bharati university in West Bengal’s Birbhum district on Thursday evening by the members of the Democratic Students’ Association (DSA) was foiled after a large contingent of police assisted by the university’s own security team took possession of the screening venue, not allowing the students to bring the screen equipment there.

    The police and university authorities claimed that the decision of not allowing the students to screen the controversial documentary was prompted by security reasons following the arrival of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on the same evening to attend the convocation ceremony of the university on Friday.

    However, university sources said that since the Prime Minister himself is the Chancellor of the university, the screening of the documentary — ‘India: The Modi Question’ — that too in the presence of the Defence Minister, would have sent wrong signals and hence the top authorities decided to stall the screening with the help of the police.

    DSA spokesman Subho Nath told mediapersons that the planning and announcement of screening the documentary were made much before the announcement of the Defence Minister’s visit.

    “Also, the screening venue is at a distance from the venue of the convocation ceremony. We were feeling the pressure for not screening the documentary for quite some time. Finally, the university authorities with the help of district police stopped us from screening it. Be it the Union government or the state government, they are all all on the same boat when it comes to suppressing the democratic rights of the students. But we will not backtrack. We will screen the documentary some other day,” he said.

    After not being able to screen the documentary, a section of the students staged silent protests within the university campus holding posters which claimed that be it the Centre or the state government, the nature of the fascist forces is the same.

    Commenting on developments, BJP’s national vice-president Dilip Ghosh said that the students who tried to screen the documentary on such an occasion are actually ‘anti-nationals’.

  • ‘Poora kuppa kar diye’: Owaisi targets Modi on LIC’s stake in Adani group

    ‘Poora kuppa kar diye’: Owaisi targets Modi on LIC’s stake in Adani group

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Referring to an article on the value of investments by the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday targetted the BJP-led centre by saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has put common man’s savings at risk by investing LIC’s money in the Adani group of companies.

    “Poora kuppa kar diye” as we say in Hyderabad. LIC is putting common man’s savings at risk; all for the sake of one man’s friendship.
    @PMOIndia’s motto seems to be “profit before people,” he tweeted.

    According to the cnbctv.com’s article shared by Owaisi, the value of the LIC’s investments in the Adani group of companies has turned negative

    As of closing on February 22, LIC’s investment value in Adani Group companies stood at Rs 33,632 crore, as per the December shareholding pattern available on the exchanges.

    On January 27, LIC had disclosed that the value of its investments in the Adani Group stood at Rs 56,142 crore.

    For the past few weeks, the Adani Group’s stocks have been making headlines, particularly in light of the significant dip in Gautam Adani’s net worth after the release of the Hindenburg report.

    Currently, Adani slipped to the 27th position in the world’s billionaire list as his net worth dipped by nearly 62 percent on the year-to-date (YTD) basis to USD 46.1 billion. It was USD 121 billion on January 1, 2023.

    Due to the huge dip, Adani’s net worth reached a near two-year low of USD 44.9 which was on February 22, 2021.

  • PM Modi to inaugurate Shivamogga airport in Karnataka on Feb 27

    PM Modi to inaugurate Shivamogga airport in Karnataka on Feb 27

    [ad_1]

    Bengaluru: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate Shivamogga airport — the dream project of former Karnataka Chief Minister and BJP Central Committee Member, B.S. Yediyurappa on February 27.

    The supporters of the Lingayat strongman are looking forward to the programme as it was perceived at some point that Yediyurappa was snubbed by the party.

    Yediyurappa hails from Shivamogga and is looking forward to an appropriate position in the party for his son B.Y. Vijayendra.

    Sources in the BJP said the Cabinet expansion was shelved as Yediyurappa was expecting a Cabinet berth for his son. The party had also snubbed him by denying a ticket for Vijayendra to contest MLC elections earlier.

    B.Y. Raghavendra, MP from Shivamogga, also the son of Yediyurappa, stated on Tuesday that PM Modi will inaugurate the Shivamogga airport on February 27 and his special flight will be the first to land in the airport on the inauguration day.

    Raghavendra said that “all are happy and proud that PM Modi’s flight is the first to land”.

    “PM Modi will also inaugurate various development projects and lay foundation stones. Shivamogga airport was built at a cost of Rs 449 crore, making it one of the most cost-effective airports in India. The airport is built on par with international airports with a night landing facility,” he added.

    BJP sources said PM Modi is also expected to inaugurate the rebuilt railway station at Belagavi and participate in a road show.

    The followers of Yediyurappa are hoping that PM Modi will give a message to the party insiders as well as to the people of the state about his importance.
