Kharge sets wheels of opposition unity moving, despite divergence on Adani

[ad_1]
New Delhi: At a time when Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) President Sharad Pawar, a Congress ally in Maharashtra, has expressed doubts over Opposition’s demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the allegations of financial irregularities levelled against the Adani Group, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge is leaving no stone unturned to gloss over the issue and project a united Opposition face in the run-up to next year’s Lok Sabha polls.
“I feel that instead of a JPC, a Supreme Court-appointed commission is more reliable and independent,” Pawar said.
Amid all these developments, taking the first step to unite the Opposition parties, Kharge recently rang leaders of various like-minded parties, including DMK’s M.K. Stalin, Nitish Kumar of the JD(U) and Uddhav Thackeray of the Shiv Sena (UBT), inviting them for a meeting in Delhi next month to formalise a common agenda.

With Opposition leadership being a core issue as the Trinamool Congress, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and parties like the Samajwadi Party might not accept the Congress leading the front, Kharge has tried to clear the matter by stating that there should not be an obsession over leadership among the Opposition parties.
“The issue of leadership will arise when the time is ripe. It will be a collective decision. We will unitedly fight the polls as people are fed up with the Modi government’s policies,” Kharge said.
Also, on BJP attacking the Congress over dynasty politics, Kharge said that since 1998, no Gandhi family member has been either a Prime Minister or a minister.
“The Gandhi family has been agitating on people’s issues for the past many years while others are just enjoying themselves,” Kharge said.
He added that all the issues to be raised in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha polls will be discussed at an appropriate time.

Meanwhile, BRS leader and Rajya Sabha MP K. Keshava Rao said that though his party has been politically distant from the Congress, it is with the main Opposition party on certain issues.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has also said that he is waiting for the Congress to take the initiative to bring the Opposition together.
On Pawar saying that a Supreme Court monitored probe is enough on the ongoing Adani row, the Congress was quick to respond that it is his personal opinion and the entire Opposition wants a JPC.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “The NCP may have its view, but 19 like-minded Opposition parties are convinced that the Adani Group issue is real and very serious. But the Opposition is united and will be together in saving the Constitution and our democracy from the BJP’s assaults and in defeating the BJP’s divisive and destructive political, social and economic agenda.”
The Shiv Sena was also quick to say that Pawar’s statement will not cause any harm to the MVA in Maharashtra.
Although the first step has been taken for Opposition unity, there are still miles to go.

RSS chief calls for moving forward on path of service for harmony

[ad_1]
Jaipur: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday said that India will become a world leader only when the whole of the country is perfect and healthy.
“We have to make every part of the society strong and the whole world a family while following the spirit of service. This is possible only when the work of service becomes a society-wide campaign. We have to make such an effort,” he said at the inauguration ceremony of the three-day RSS-affiliated National Sewa Bharti’s Seva Sangam at Keshav Vidyapeeth, Jamdoli here.
Bhagwat said that people should put an end to their challenges and problems and present an example of devotion, knowledge and action to the whole world. “At the same time, the gentlemen who serve should move together as a group. With this we will be able to achieve our goal easily.”

He said that the spirit of service is sensitive. “Although there is sensation in animals other than humans and it is often reflected, the sense of action in sensation is limited to humans only,” he said. Referring to the ongoing meetings of the G-20, he said that compassion should be the basis of international relations as well.
The RSS chief also said that our ultimate aim should be to make everyone like us through service. With this spirit, every part of the society will be self-reliant and no one will remain backward or weak in the country.
Piramal Group Chairman Ajay Piramal said that his organisation is also engaged in service works based on Bhagavad Gita. He also quoted a couplet of Saint Rahim.
Seer Balayogi Umesh Nath Maharaj emphasised on social harmony along with service work, saying that we have to bring the underprivileged society closer to us by taking forward our eternal tradition.
Earlier, industrialist Narseeram Kularia gave the welcome address. National Service Bharati President Pannalal Bhansali gave the vote of thanks. The programme was coordinated by Rashtriya Seva Bharti General Secretary Renu Pathak.

On this occasion, the guests inaugurated the Seva Sadhana magazine.
RSS leaders Dattatreya Hosabale, Suresh ‘Bhaiyyaji’ Joshi, Mukund C.R., Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwaranand and Vishwa Jagruti Mission founder Acharya Sudhanshu Maharaj were present along with prominent saints and people associated with service works.
