Hans India7 days ago

Gadwal: On the occasion of Balidan Diwas commemorating the sacrifice of Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee, a solemn program was organized under the leadership of Kampati Bhagat Reddy, President of BJP Aiza Town, and Gopalakrishna, President of Aiza Mandal BJP.
Former Jogulamba Gadwal District BJP President S. Ramachandra Reddy took part as the chief guest and addressed the gathering. He paid rich tributes to Dr. Mukherjee by garlanding his portrait and recalling his supreme sacrifice for the unity and integrity of India on the occasion of his 73rd death anniversary.
In a symbolic gesture honoring Dr. Mukherjee's environmental and national values, saplings were planted collectively at the Government PHC (Primary Health Centre) as part of the tribute program.
In his address, S. Ramachandra Reddy remarked:
'Many death anniversaries are observed across the country every year, but only a few noble souls become immortal through the tireless efforts of their followers and admirers who give meaningful expression to their sacrifices. Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee was one such divine patriot who offered his life for the nation on June 23, 1953. He strongly opposed the divisive decree of 'Two Flags, Two Constitutions, and Two Prime Ministers' (Do Nishan, Do Vidhan, Do Pradhan) and laid down his life for a unified India.'
He further elaborated that as a Member of Parliament and President of Bharatiya Jana Sangh, Dr. Mukherjee challenged then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in Parliament, declaring:
'I will either safeguard the Constitution or perish in the attempt.'
He entered Jammu & Kashmir without permission, defying the separate permit system in place at the time. He was subsequently arrested by Sheikh Abdullah's government and died in custody shortly afterward under mysterious circumstances. Reddy noted that Dr. Mukherjee was the first Indian to sacrifice his life for national unity and integrity.
Several party members and local leaders participated in the event, including Rajashekar, Mahesh, Veeresh Goud, Bheemanna, G. Raghu, T. Narasimhulu, Bheemaesh, and Bhanu.
The event concluded with patriotic slogans and a collective vow to uphold the ideals of Dr. Syama Prasad Mukherjee.

Journalists Slam Canada's Foreign Policy, Call Out Khalistani Threats Against India at Security Meet

Operation Sindoor: Indian Navy Officer's 'Jet Loss' Comment Ignites Storm, Govt Rushes to Clarify A new controversy has erupted over India's top-secret Operation Sindoor, after Navy Captain and Defence Attaché to Indonesia Shiv Kumar publicly stated that the Indian Air Force lost 'some aircraft' during the cross-border anti-terror strikes in Pakistan and PoK. Speaking at a defence seminar on June 10, he revealed that initial IAF losses occurred due to political constraints, as forces were told not to strike Pakistani military infrastructure or air defences in the first wave. He added that tactics were changed later to suppress enemy air defences using BrahMos missiles. The Indian Embassy in Indonesia has since issued a clarification, calling the remarks 'misrepresented' and 'taken out of context'. This has reignited debate over whether India lost Rafale or other jets in the operation—a claim long denied by officials.#OperationSindoor #IAFLosses #ShivKumar #IndianAirForce #IndiaPakistan #RafaleJet #pakistan #pakistanairforce #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews 3.6K views | 3 hours ago

"We have punched Marathi haters, unity should remain as it is": Shiv Sena (UBT) Uddhav Thackeray on withdrawal of three-language policy

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 30 (ANI): Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday celebrated the withdrawal of the three-language policy in the state and stated that they had punched Marathi haters, and the unity in the state should remain as it is. He further stated that a new committee led by Narendra Jadhav would report on the decision, further stating that the government had appointed financial experts for the decision in the education sector. 'We have punched Marathi haters; this unity should remain as it is. We appreciate the political parties which came together with us despite different stands. Temporarily, they (the Government) have cancelled the GR. If they hadn't cancelled, they would have seen the protest on 5th July. Many leaders from Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar's NCP are going to join us. A new committee led by Dr Narendra Jadhav will report on this. The government has appointed financial experts for the education sector's decision. We will stage a victory rally on 5th July,' Thackeray said, speaking to reporters here. Meanwhile, party MP Sanjay Raut lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for making false claims of former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray accepting the Mashelkar committee's report on the three-language policy. Addressing the media, Raut stated that lying was the BJP's 'national policy.', further challenging the BJP that if Thackeray had submitted the Mashelkar committee report, it should have been made public. 'Lying is the BJP's national policy. These people are working with this policy in Maharashtra. If Uddhav Thackeray had submitted a report on the Mashelkar committee, it should be made public. A committee report has been released and placed in the cabinet. Can't this be discussed? You forcefully discussed Hindi with the cabinet -- you did it because it's a national policy. If any national policy comes before the state, then discussing it is very important. Devendra Fadnavis has become the chief minister three times--does he not have that much knowledge?' Raut said, addressing a press conference. Earlier, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, informing about the cancellation of the resolutions that were passed on April 16 and June 17, announced that a committee will be formed to discuss the implementation of the three-language formula in the state. 'A committee under Dr Narendra Jadhav will be formed to discuss the implementation of the three-language formula in the state... Until the committee submits its report, both government resolutions (of April 16 and June 17) have been cancelled by the government,' Devendra Fadnavis said. On April 16, the Maharashtra government passed a resolution that mandated Hindi as the compulsory third language in Marathi and English-medium schools. However, in response to the backlash, the government revised the policy on June 17 through an amended resolution, stating, 'Hindi will be the third language. For those who want to learn another language, at least 20 willing students are required.' (ANI)
