Dhanbad: The Congress is set to launch its own state-wide campaign,
Jaihind Sabha
, aimed at honouring the armed forces for their role in
Operation Sindoor
. The initiative will begin with events across all seven municipal corporation areas in the first phase, from next week eventually expanding to district headquarters, party said on Wednesday.
Announcing the campaign, Congress state vice-president and Jaihind Sabha convenor of Dhanbad, Ajay Dubey said, "This initiative is dedicated to our armed forces. Through this programme, we aim to honour the bravery of our soldiers. Both former servicemen and civilians will be invited to participate and express their gratitude."
The Congress is positioning this programme as a patriotic outreach, designed not just to show respect to the military, but also to galvanise public support amid the BJP's high-profile Tiranga Yatra, which has been drawing large crowds across Jharkhand.
State Congress chief Keshav Mahto Kamlesh has appointed senior leaders to spearhead the programme in key urban centres. Banna Gupta will lead the event in Mango Municipal Corporation, while Ravindra Singh will oversee Adityapur. Yashaswani Sahay will coordinate the programme in Ranchi, and Anupama Singh in Chas.
Notably, the Congress party backed the Centre for its Operation Sindoor, in which terrorist strikes were struck in Pakistan .

J&K Governor who oversaw Article 370 abrogation, Satya Pal Malik became vocal BJP critic in his last years
A former BJP leader from western Uttar Pradesh's Jat belt who started his political journey in socialist circles, Satya Pal Malik was the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir when the Centre abrogated Article 370 and scrapped its special Constitutional status on August 5, 2019. Exactly six years since that day, Malik passed away in New Delhi on Tuesday after a prolonged illness. He was 79. In the last few years, Malik had been publicly critical of the Narendra Modi government, making statements ranging from the allegation that the Centre had asked him to keep quiet on the lapses that led to the Pulwama attack in 2019 to corruption in Goa, where he was the Governor after his J&K stint. This May, the CBI filed a chargesheet against Malik in an alleged case of corruption in the Kiru hydel project in Kashmir. Ironically, it was the veteran leader himself who had publicly spoken of the alleged corruption in the project in 2021 while he was serving as Meghalaya Governor. The statement had left the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre red-faced as he alleged the involvement of an RSS leader. His critics had dismissed all these statements, claiming he wanted to resurrect his political career in Uttar Pradesh. 'Saddened by the passing away of Shri Satyapal Malik Ji. My thoughts are with his family and supporters in this hour of grief. Om Shanti,' Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on X. Born on July 24, 1946, in Hisawada village in UP's Baghpat district, Malik started as a student union leader in Meerut in 1968-69. 'In the late 1960s, he was president of the student union of Meerut College. This was the time of anti-Congressism and the 'Angrezi Hatao (remove English)' movement in UP. He started as a follower of (Ram Manohar) Lohia ji and joined the socialist youth organisation, Yuvjan Sabha,' JD (U) leader KC Tyagi, who knew Malik for 50 years, told The Indian Express. Tyagi recalled that Malik was always a straight talker and a good orator. Malik won the Baghpat Assembly seat in 1974 as a nominee of Chaudhary Charan Singh's Bharatiya Kranti Dal. He later joined the Bharatiya Lok Dal under Charan Singh and became its general secretary. During the Emergency, Tyagi recalled, Malik and he were in Meerut jail. In 1980, Malik entered the Rajya Sabha on a Lok Dal ticket. By 1984, he had moved to the Congress, which sent him to the Rajya Sabha in 1986. The following year, in the wake of the Bofors scam, he resigned from the Congress. Malik joined V P Singh and two years later won the Lok Sabha election from Aligarh as a Janata Dal candidate. In 1990, he briefly served as the Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs and Tourism. Malik briefly joined the Samajwadi Party before moving to the BJP in 2004. He unsuccessfully contested the Lok Sabha elections, losing to Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Ajit Singh from Baghpat. In its first term, the Modi government appointed Malik head of a parliamentary team that looked into the Land Acquisition Bill. After the panel gave its recommendations against the Bill, the government put it in cold storage. Run as Governor In October 2017, the government appointed Malik as the Bihar Governor, but transferred him to J&K just over a year later. With that, he became the first politician appointed to the post since militancy began in Kashmir. His tenure was a controversial one. First came 'faxgate'. In November 2018, when Peoples Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti staked claim to form the government with the support of the National Conference and the Congress and sent a fax to the Raj Bhavan, it went unacknowledged. A representation by People's Conference leader Sajad Lone also went unanswered. Malik dissolved the Assembly that evening, citing the 'impossibility of forming a stable government by the coming together of political parties with competing ideologies', the 'fragile' security situation, and reports of horse-trading. Later, he said history would have remembered him as a 'dishonest man' had he allowed Lone to form the government. 'So, I ended the matter once and for all. Those who abuse me will continue to do so, but I am convinced I did the right thing,' he said. Months after the Assembly's dissolution, J&K's special Constitutional status was revoked and it was made a Union Territory. Just two months after that, Malik was moved out to Goa. This is when his ties with the BJP started souring, and the sense of unhappiness only strengthened when he was shifted to Meghalaya. In March 2020, at a public meeting in Baghpat, Malik said J&K Governors largely just drank and played golf. 'The Governor has no work,' he said. Outspoken by nature, he ruffled feathers in Goa, too, criticising the Pramod Sawant government's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. In October 2021, he told the 'India Today' news channel that the government had kept him in the dark about its outbreak. He also alleged large-scale corruption in the Sawant government, saying he had informed PM Modi about it, and was moved because he raised this matter. Malik was in Meghalaya when he levelled the corruption allegations about the hydel project in Kashmir. 'Two files came before me in Jammu and Kashmir. One of them pertained to Ambani and another to a senior RSS functionary. One of the secretaries told me these are fraud files, but he also said you can get Rs 150 crore each in the two deals. I rejected the offer, saying, 'I have come with five kurtas and will go with them,'' he said. The speech created an uproar, and J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha ordered a CBI enquiry into the matter. The CBI subsequently registered two FIRs, conducted multiple searches, and questioned several people, including Malik. Malik was also openly critical of the way the Centre handled the farmers' protests against three farm laws, which were subsequently repealed. He told The Indian Express in February 2021 that farmers should be engaged and not 'sent back insulted'. In January 2022, he targeted the PM in a speech in Dadri in western UP, saying he fought with Modi over the farmers' demands during a meeting. 'He was very arrogant. When I told him that 500 of our own (farmers) had died… he said, 'Did they die for me?'' he was heard saying in a video clip from the function.

AAP objects to BJP leaders' photos on notebooks distributed to Surat students
The Aam Aadmi Party's Surat unit has raised objections over the inclusion of photos of prominent BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP National President JP Nadda, Gujarat BJP President CR Paatil, and Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, on the cover pages of notebooks distributed to students in municipal corporation-run schools. The Opposition also pointed out the absence of Education Minister Praful Panseriya's photo, noting that he is from Surat, where the notebooks were distributed. The development comes days after the Municipal Education Board, Surat (MEBS), had distributed educational kits, consisting of the said notebooks, among 1.80 lakh students, from Class 2 to 8, in Surat city, with each student receiving five notebooks, according to sources. A total of nine lakh books were distributed free of cost among the students. The education kit comprised a compass box, a water bottle, a lunch box , and five notebooks. The MEBS has 15 committee members, out of which 14 are from the BJP and one, Rakesh Hirpara, from AAP. The notebook issue was raised by the AAP leader during the general board meeting of MEBS on Monday evening. Appreciating the distribution of the educational kits, Rakesh Hirpara asked the chairman, Rajendra Kapadia, 'why photos of the Prime Minister, Union Home Minister, BJP National president, state president, and Chief Minister were printed on the cover page of the notebooks?'. Hirpara also asked about 'what role did they play in the education sector'. 'Photos of national heroes such as Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel, Dr B R Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh among others should have been there on the cover page of the notebook. By seeing these leaders daily, the students will get motivated, and can learn more from their lives,' the AAP leader said. Countering Hirpara, one of the BJP members, also part of the MEBS, Vinod Gajera, said: 'These are the topmost leaders of the BJP. We have not put up a photo of (AAP National Convenor) Arvind Kejriwal, that is why you are annoyed'. Replying to Gajera's remarks, Hirpara retorted: 'Gujarat Education Minister Praful Panseriya is from Surat and even his photo is there on the poster in the conference room, so why is his photo not printed on the front cover page?' Hirpara told The Indian Express, 'I objected to the photos on the cover page of the notebooks as instead of the photos of BJP leaders, it should have been the pictures of our national heroes so that the students could learn more from their lives. When I raised the question about the Panseriya's photo also missing from the cover page of the notebooks, they were silent.' Meanwhile, MEB, Surat, Chairman Rajendra Kapadia said, 'Every year we distribute education kits among the students. This year, we have distributed over nine lakh books. The Municipal Education Board has spent Rs 7.43 crore on these kits. Last year, we had put up the photo of the Gujarat Education Minister on the front cover of the notebook, this year we had decided to do something new.'
