  • To counter Modi’s Jai Bajrangbali, Uddhav comes up with ‘Jai Shivaji’ in Karnataka

    To counter Modi’s Jai Bajrangbali, Uddhav comes up with ‘Jai Shivaji’ in Karnataka

    Mumbai: Countering Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to Karnataka voters to utter the name of “Jai Bajrangbali”, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday urged the Marathi voters to invoke “Jai Bhavani” and “Jai Shivaji” while casting their votes.

    Reacting to Modi’s statements, the Shiv Sena-UBT President said that when his father and Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray had sought votes in the name of Hindutva in 1987, his voting rights were taken away for six years in 1999 with effect from 1995 by the Election Commission.

    “If the country’s PM is promoting Hinduism, then the voting rules may have been changed now… The Marathi-speaking people of Karnataka should say ‘Jai Bhavani’, aJai Shivaji’ and then vote for the candidates of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES),” Thackeray said.

    He also frowned at the Congress for raising the issue of Bajrangbali in the elections and the Bharatiya Janata Party’s strong reactions to it ahead of the May 10 Karnataka Assembly polls.

    The Sena-UBT chief said the need of the hour is unity among the people who believe that there should not be a dictatorship in the country.

    “Its not about defeating an individual but vanquishing the attitude. Everyone should come forth unitedly to defeat the dictatorial attitude,” declared Thackeray.

  • Can Shivaji, Afzal Khan be one? We can’t be brothers: Raja Singh at Solapur

    Can Shivaji, Afzal Khan be one? We can’t be brothers: Raja Singh at Solapur

    [ad_1]

    Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh at a rally in Solapur, Maharashtra organised by Hindu Janakroash Morcha once again called on Hindus to pick up arms against Muslims and pitched for an economic boycott against the community.

    Employing the word ‘Landya’ (an anti-Muslim slur), Singh said that Muslims “trap our sisters and daughters” and when the women are unwilling to be baby-producing machines, they are murdered.

    “We are neither scared of dying nor of killing them,” said Singh. Picking up a sheaf of paper while addressing the crowd, Singh remarked that one piece of paper would do nothing to silence him.

    Continuing to address the large crowd filled with a sea of saffron-clad men holding flags of the same colour, Singh says, “Those who don’t sing the praises of Bharat Mata, or sing Vande Mataram, or celebrate the anniversary of Chattrapati Shivaji… even those who killed our beloved Sambhaji, we will not purchase anything worth even one rupee from such gaddars (traitors).”

    “Can Shivaji and Afzal Khan (general of the Adil Shahi dynasty) become one? Can Maha Rana Prathap and Akbar be one? Can those who worship our mother cow and those who murder her be one?” he asks.

    “We sing Vande Mataram and they oppose it. Can we truly be brothers?”

    The crowd responds with a thunderous “Nahi” (No).

    Singh also spoke about Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s announcement of changing Aurangabad city’s name to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and Osmanabad city to Dharashiv.

    “Only few names have been changed so far. Many names will be changed shortly. In the coming few days, Ahmednagar’s name will also be changed. All the places named after these Landyas, will also be changed including Hyderabad,” he said.

    “No matter when you die, make sure you write history till your death. Fight love-jihadis, protect our mother cow till your death so that your sacrifice doesn’t go in vain. We will neither bend before our enemies or the police. We need people who can fight with us not those who sit at home wearing bangles. May we be free from Love Jihad! May not a drop of Mother cow’s blood touch the floor in India,” he said.

    Singh further added, “We need to make sure there are laws against love-jihad. If no laws are made against cow-laughter or love-jihad, every Hindu from India will cut the hand of those who slaughter the cow or perpetuate love-jihad.”

    The crowd cheered throughout Singh’s speech.

  • Probe into removal of Shivaji portrait from UP’s KMC University

    Probe into removal of Shivaji portrait from UP’s KMC University

    [ad_1]

    Lucknow: Students of the Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (KMC) Language University on Wednesday continued to demand the removal of the warden, who allegedly stopped them from celebrating Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti on February 19 even as the university authorities formed a panel to probe the matter.

    The students on protest alleged that warden Azam Ansari forcibly removed Shivaji’s portrait from the hostel premises.

    Ansari’s plea was that the students had not sought permission from the competent authority and hence he was against such celebrations in the open space of the hostel.

    Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak took note of the incident and said in a tweet, “I have been told about it. Students have the right to celebrate it. We will look into it.”

    Meanwhile, vice chancellor Prof Narendra Bahadur Singh has set up a three-member inquiry committee which will submit its report to him within a week. He has also removed Ansari from wardenship for the time being.

    “We are probing the matter. For free and fair inquiry, Ansari has been relieved from warden’s responsibility till the pendency of the probe. The version of the students will be recorded and Ansari will also be given a chance to explain his point of view. We are not against celebrating the birth anniversary of our heroes,” the vice chancellor added.

    A video of the incident has also gone viral on social media in which students are seen preparing to celebrate Shivaji Jayanti by putting up his big portrait in the common area of a hostel.

    In the video, Ansari was purportedly seen asking students to get proper permission before organising such celebrations.
