    Rahul disqualification: Youth Congress workers block Delhi-Jaipur Highway, burn tyres

    [ad_1]

    Gurugram: Many Youth Congress workers on Saturday blocked the Delhi-Jaipur Highway here and burnt tyres in protest against the disqualification of party leader Rahul Gandhi from the Lok Sabha.

    The party workers led by Haryana Youth Congress chief Divyanshu Budhiraja reached near Kherki Daula toll plaza at around 12:30 pm and raised slogans against the BJP government.

    “The Centre has cancelled the membership of Rahul Gandhi to suppress the voice of the Opposition. We will protest on the streets against the dictatorial decision of the BJP government which is scared of the support received by Gandhi-led ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’,” Budhiraja said.

    The Gurugram police reached the protest site and detained one of the protesters.

    “Vikas Parmar alias Lala, a resident of Rohtak, was detained. He was released later,” a police officer said.

    Following the complaint of ASI Yogender Kumar, an FIR was registered against about 20 protesters under sections 147 (riots), 283 (obstruction in public way), 341 (wrongful confinement) of the IPC at the Kherki Daula police station, he said.

    “A case was registered on Saturday against those who blocked the Delhi-Jaipur Highway. One of them was arrested while action will be taken against others,” Inspector Rajender Kumar, SHO, Kherki Daula police station said.

    Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha on Friday, a day after a court in Gujarat’s Surat convicted him in a 2019 defamation case. The disqualification will bar Gandhi (52), a four-time MP, from contesting polls for eight years unless a higher court stays his conviction.

    Meanwhile, former BJP MP Sudha Yadav accused the Gandhi scion of making unwarranted comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during several occasions on both national and international platforms.

    “The conduct of Rahul Ganbdhi in this case simply shows his arrogance. He has made unwarranted remarks against the prime minister in national and global fora,” she said at a press conference here.

    Countering the charges, Congress leader Captain Ajay Yadav claimed it was the
    pre-plan of the saffron party and that the Union dispensation “cannot face the truth” as shown by Gandhi.

  • Union minister Amit Shah urges youth not to abandon mother tongue

    Union minister Amit Shah urges youth not to abandon mother tongue

    [ad_1]

    Vadodara: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday asked the youth never to abandon their mother tongue.

    Addressing the graduating students of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda here at its 71st convocation, he also asked them to study the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020.

    “I would like to tell all degree-holders that do whatever in your life, but never abandon your mother tongue. Come out of this inferiority complex that (mastering a particular) language will give you acceptance,” he said, speaking in Hindi.

    “Language is an expression and not a substance. There can be any language for expression. When a person thinks and conducts research and analysis in his mother language, the capacity for the same increases many times. Along with analysis, it increases his capacity for logic and decision- making,” he said.

    One’s mother tongue is the best medium for personality development, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said.

    “The languages of our country have the best grammar, literature, poetry and history, and unless we enrich them, we cannot improve the future of our country,” Shah added.

    For this reason, Prime Minister Narendra Modi thought of “making mother tongue compulsory in primary education” under the NEP, he said.

    He also urged the graduating students to study the NEP, which he said will clear their concepts about the use of education.

    The NEP includes “Maharaja Sayajirao’s idea of accessible education, Sardar Patel’s idea of empowerment, Ambedkar’s idea of knowledge, Aurobindo’s idea of cultural and nationalistic education and Gandhi’s emphasis on mother tongue,” Shah said.

    Sayajirao Gaekwad III, the erstwhile ruler of the Baroda state, tried to establish an exemplary governance system, he said.

    Dr B R Ambedkar framed our Constitution which is “among the best” in the world, Shah said, adding that he could accomplish this because (early in his life) Maharaja Gaekwad had given him a scholarship.

    Gaekwad worked to spread education, establish justice, uplift the deprived sections, provide irrigation for farmers and carry out social reforms. He worked to provide compulsory and free education, and laid the foundation for the Faculty of Fine Arts, Shah said.

    The NEP has tried to make education “stream-less and classless,” he said.

    “When it becomes so, you can think freely. The aim of education is not to gain a degree, good job, to get comforts in personal life. Its aim can be to become a complete human, and it is possible only when education is streamless and classless, and which is why (PM) Modi-ji has tried to make it so,” he said.

    The NEP was the first education policy in the country that did not face opposition from (the proponents of) any ideology or political party, the Union minister claimed.

    Earlier in the day, Shah inaugurated a redeveloped lake at Nardipura and laid foundation stones for various developmental projects at Kalol in his Lok Sabha constituency of Gandhinagar.

    He also chaired a meeting of the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committees (DISHA) in Gandhinagar.

  • Failing to secure job, educated youth from Kulgam joins archaic ‘Aab-e-Grate’ work for livelihood

    Failing to secure job, educated youth from Kulgam joins archaic ‘Aab-e-Grate’ work for livelihood

    [ad_1]

    Umaisar Gull Ganie

    Kulgam, Mar 17: An educated youth from south Kashmir’s Kulgam, after failing to secure a job, finally joined his family’s decades-old work of running a watermill, locally known as ‘Aab-e-Gratte’.

    This mill, now obsolete, has been running in Kashmir for centuries and is powered by fast-flowing water channeled from streams that turn the heavy grindstones, producing pure flour.

    Showkat Ahmad Padder, a resident of Bathipora Nehama hamlet of Kulgam, is pursuing Masters in Political Science.

    Talking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Showkat said he failed to get any job amid rising unemployment. “So, I decided to operate the watermill that was being run by my family for decades. This way I will keep the tradition alive and also earn some money whatever it is,” he said.

    Being jobless, I would have slipped into depression, but I decided to operate the watermill to earn a livelihood, he said.

    His neighbour, Ghulam Qadir Padder, who is also operating the ‘Gratte’ for decades, said it is environment-friendly but largely forgotten due to rapid industrialisation and technology. He said ‘Aab-e-Gratte’ is rapidly losing the demand to the modern mills.

    Qadir said a ‘Gratte’ owner had a better social status in the village as the family could afford both food grains and earn money as a service charge on grinding. Such traditional watermills are rare now, he said—(KNO)

  • High Court Quashes PSA Detention Of Two South Kashmir Youth

    High Court Quashes PSA Detention Of Two South Kashmir Youth

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: The High Court of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh has quashed the detention of two persons from south Kashmir’s Anantnag district lodged in Central Jail Kot Balwal Jammu under the Public Safety Act (PSA).

    The detainees – Muhammad Abbas Khan, son of Nazir Ahmed Khan and Hadayat Ullah Kuttay, son of Abdul Razak Kuttay, both residents of Srigufwara Anantnag had been arrested in April last year and subsequently, shifted to Kot Balwal Jail under Public Safety Act.

    The detention orders under PSA were issued by District Magistrate Anantnag vide numbers 07 and 08/DMA/PSA/DET/2022 dated 08.04.2022. The duo was accused of being militant sympathizers.

    The counsel for both the petitioners’ Advocate Bashir Ahmed Tak challenged the impugned order on the grounds that the allegations made on the grounds of detention are vague and non-existent and that there has been non-application of mind on the part of the detaining authority.

    Advocate Bashir Ahmed Tak argued that the detaining authority has not attributed any specific allegation against the detainees. He contended that the detainees were arrested in old cases and on frivolous charges.

    The court of Justice Vinod Chatterji Koul accordingly quashed the detention of both persons and ordered their release from the Kot Balwal Jail.
