    Azad calls on Shah, takes up land eviction issue in J&K

    [ad_1]

    Srinagar: Ghulam Nabi Azad, Chairman, Democratic Azad Party (DAP) met Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi to take up the land eviction issue, said the party on Thursday.

    During the meeting, which took place on Wednesday, Azad apprised Shah of the situation of serious ‘unrest and uncertainty’ prevailing among the public following the circular of eviction issued by the UT administration, a statement by the DAP mentioned.

    The circular directs all Deputy Commissioners to remove encroachments on state land, including Roshni and Kacharai.

    “Ghulam Nabi Azad requested the Home Minister that the majority of occupants holding small lands and have constructed houses for the last few decades are migrants and are mostly victims of militancy, as well as victims of abnormal situations arising from time to time, being a border state.

    “The origin of these shelters/residential houses on state-kacharai and Roshni lands appears to have taken place first in 1947 and then in the 1962 and 1971 war period, and subsequently during the post-militancy period. This is also a fact that the governments provided road connectivity, supply of water and electricity, schools, anganwadi centres and other welfare schemes, including health related facilities to these houses from time to time which implicitly indicates that successive state governments in a way have recognised these constructions.”

    The statement said Azad requested the home minister that at least poor people having small holdings of land and houses should be spared from the eviction drive.

    “The Home Minister assured Azad that small land holders will not be harassed. It is worthwhile to mention here that two weeks earlier Azad had taken up the same issue with Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha also, who too had assured to do the needful with cogent land policy to small land holders sympathetically,” the statement added.

    Rahul Gandhi calls RSS 21st century Kauravas

    Srinagar: Throwing a challenge to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that if the situation is so good in J&K, then he should walk to Srinagar’s Lal Chowk from Jammu.

    Responding to questions on the BJP’s claims that there is peace in J&K, he said: “There are targeted killings in the state, bomb blasts happening, what security personnel are talking indicates that the situation is not good… if the BJP thinks so, why doesn’t Amit Shah walk to Lal Chowk from Jammu.”

    Gandhi said people are in pain in the state and the Congress is of the view that restoration of statehood and democratic process is the first step.

    He said his ancestors moved from Kashmir to Allahabad and he was moving towards Kashmir with love and affection.

    Gandhi said that he looking forward with an open mind, and asserted that on Article 370, he stands by the Congress Working Committee resolution.

    The Congress leader, along with many fellow marchers started the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Tamil Nadu’s Kanniyakumari on September 7 and hoisted the national flag at Srinagar’s Lal Chowk on Sunday after completing a 3,970 km walk.

  • Karnataka: Amit Shah takes part in road show in Kundgol

    Karnataka: Amit Shah takes part in road show in Kundgol

    [ad_1]

    Kundgol: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday took part in a road show here, as part of Karnataka BJP’s ‘Vijaya Sankalp Abhiyan’, in the run-up to the Assembly polls in the state, due by May.

    Targeting the opposition Congress and JD(S) and accusing them of dynasty politics and corruption, he sought support for the BJP to form a government with full majority in Karnataka.

    Shah took part in the road show on a specially decorated open vehicle, for over a km distance from Basavanna Devara Matha to Gali Mariyamma temple here, amid loud cheers and waving of BJP flags by large number of party supporters and workers gathered.

    Shah was accompanied by Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, senior BJP leader B S Yediyurappa, party’s General secretary in-charge Arun Singh, state President Nalin Kumar Kateel, former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, along the road show.

    People gathered along the stretch showered flower petals at the vehicle carrying the leaders at various places, as sound of beating of the drums, chants of “Modi Modi”, “Bharat Mata ki Jai” slogans reverberated.

    Shah made a short address to the gathering at the end of the road show, during which he targeted opposition Congress and JD(S) for dynasty politics and corruption, and asked them to vote for BJP in the upcoming Assembly polls.

    Listing out various “pro-people” programmes of the BJP government, he said, “Congress only does aarti of Gandhi family, and in JD(S) grandfather, son, grandson, their wives, grandson’s son everyone wants to contest polls…youths should tell, do they have a place in that party?”

    Claiming that youth have a place only in BJP under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said the BJP government under Modi has taken the country’s pride to heights at the global level.

    “Modi has worked for securing the country from terrorists, Modi has abrogated Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, along with that construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya,” Shah said, asking people to vote for BJP in the upcoming elections, to support it in forming a government with full majority, and to defeat the “parivarwadis” (dynasts) and corrupt.

    The road show by the BJP was aimed at attracting public support in favour of the party in Kundgol and neighbouring Assembly constituencies in Dharwad district, party sources said.

    Congress’ Kusumavati Channabasappa Shivalli currently represents the Kundgol Assembly segment. She had won the seat in 2019 by-polls, after the seat fell vacant following the death of her husband and then sitting MLA C S Shivalli.

    Shivalli had won the seat in the 2013 and 2018 Assembly elections.

  • J&K: Kharge writes to Shah regarding adequate security for Bharat Jodo Yatra

    J&K: Kharge writes to Shah regarding adequate security for Bharat Jodo Yatra

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has written to Home Minister Amit Shah seeking his intervention in ensuring adequate security to the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir.

    His letter to Shah comes after the Bharat Jodo Yatra was suspended for the afternoon session on Friday following a “security lapse”, with the Congress alleging that the J and K Police had withdrawn security around its leader Rahul Gandhi in the wake of surging crowds during the foot march in Qazigund.

    “We are expecting a huge gathering to join the yatra over the next two days and also the function that will be held on 30th January at Srinagar. Many senior Congress leaders and leaders of other important political parties are attending the culmination function to be held on the 30th of January.

    “I shall be grateful if you could personally intervene in this matter and advise the concerned officials to provide adequate security till the culmination of the yatra and the function on the 30th January at Srinagar,” the Congress president said in his letter to the home minister.

    He said he is writing after the “unfortunate security lapse” during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

    On the advice of the security officials in charge of the security detail of Rahul Gandhi, the Yatra had to be suspended, Kharge said.

    “We appreciate the Jammu and Kashmir Police and welcome their statement saying they will continue to ensure complete security till the culmination of the journey,” he said.

    However, the leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha also said, “You will appreciate the fact that a large crowd of common people has joined and walked in the Bharat Jodo Yatra every day. It is difficult for the organisers to tell exactly how many people are expected over the day as it is a spontaneous gesture of the common people to join the yatra.”

    The Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Gandhi started in Kanyakumari on September 7 and will culminate on January 30 in Srinagar after traversing through 12 states.

    The 3500-km foot march is aimed at galvanising the Congress cadres across the country, but the party is claiming that the Yatra is not political and seeks to unite India in the wake of growing “hatred”.

    Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan leaked online on two websites

    Mumbai: Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan is continuously making headlines for one or another reason.

The movie got released in theatres today in over 100 countries in three languages (Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi).

  • Attempts made to forget Netaji, our effort to honour him: Amit Shah

    Attempts made to forget Netaji, our effort to honour him: Amit Shah

    [ad_1]

    Port Blair: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday lamented that attempts were made to ensure Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gets forgotten, but the Narendra Modi government has taken several initiatives such as the setting up of a memorial in Andamans to honour his legacy.

    Shah is on a visit here to commemorate the 126th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

    Addressing a gathering at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Institute of Technology auditorium here, Shah said, “We cannot forget the contribution of Subhash babu in India’s freedom struggle but the irony is attempts were made to forget him.

    “We will not let this happen (on attempts made to forget Netaji) and these initiatives by PM Modi ji are a symbol of India’s indebtedness towards him”, he said.

    Those who are brave are not dependent on anyone for their memory, he said.

    “We installed a statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on Kartavya Path in New Delhi and this will remind our generation about their Kartavya in future for our country. I would like to commend the vision of PM Modi for naming 21 Islands after the Param Veer Chakra awardees.

    ” Not the least, Netaji Memorial Center at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island will make you curious to know more about this place, especially the young generation,” Shah said.

    Mentioning that to his knowledge, no other country had honoured its soldiers by naming islands after them, Shah said the Prime Minister’s initiative in this regard was “highly commendable”.

    “His decision for a memorial at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island (Ross Island) is also commendable. I believe that all the decisions taken by PM Modi will help this place to flourish further,” the Union Home minister said.

    Pointing out that there is “something” in this soil (Andaman), Shah said despite facing brutal torture by the British, the freedom fighters lodged at the Cellular Jail did not bow down to the colonial rulers.

    “This is not just Cellular Jail but this is a tirtha sthan’ (pilgrimage). Netaji liberated Andaman first and then PM Modi ji renamed Islands after Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. In history, this chapter will be written in golden words,” he said.

  • Still don’t know much about Shah Rukh Khan, barely watch films: Himanta

    Still don’t know much about Shah Rukh Khan, barely watch films: Himanta

    [ad_1]

    Guwahati: Amid criticisms over his swift transition from “Who is Shah Rukh Khan” to “SRK called me”, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday clarified that he still doesn’t know much about the actor, and hardly watches movies.

    The CM also said that he harbours little knowledge about the Hindi film industry.

    “I have seen films of Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Jeetendra……I still don’t know much about Shah Rukh Khan. Since 2001, I have seen not more than six to seven films,” he said at a press conference here.

    Talking about his conversation with the megastar, Sarma said that he had received a text message from the actor on Saturday at 7:40 pm, which stated, I am Shah Rukh Khan. I want to talk to you’.

    “There were many in the queue who wanted to talk to me. After clearing those, a message was sent to him (Shah Rukh) at 2 am on Sunday saying that I was available for a call. He then called me and said that his film was releasing soon and that he hoped there won’t be any problem.

    “I asked him the name of his film and he said ‘Pathaan’. I told him ‘koi disturb nahi hoga’ (there will be no disturbances),” the CM recounted.

    On the boycott calls given against the movie, Sarma said that those willing to watch the film will do so and the rest can skip it.

    The CM asserted that his government, however, “will not let Assam get a bad name”.

    Asked about his “Who is Shah Rukh Khan” remark, the chief minister retorted, “Why should I know him? I really did not know that he was such a great man….I do not watch many films. I know about older actors. The attraction for stars varies across generations.

    “Besides, I don’t know the entire three crore people of the state or even my voters to whom I am indebted to,” he added.

    Referring to ‘Pathaan’ poster vandalisation by right-wingers who also sought a ban on the film, Sarma noted that tearing down of posters was no crime and sought to know under what law they should be booked.

    “Posters of politicians are torn down all the time but there is no discussion on that. It is time people changed their mindset,” he added.

    Bajrang Dal activists had recently stormed a cinema hall in the Narengi area here, and tore down posters of ‘Pathaan’, burnt those and raised slogans against the film.

    Pathaan’, starring Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, will hit the theatres on January 25.
