BHOPAL: Minister for urban administration Kailash Vijayvargiya on Sunday said that
Love Jihad
is a conspiracy through which Hindu girls are being targets and made victims. Speaking at a public function arranged to promote wrestling, the former
BJP
national general secretary asked mothers to teach 'acchi sanskar' to daughters.
He also said that young Hindu girls should check the family background of youths before making friends with them.
'Love Jihad is a conspiracy. Many Hindu girls have become victims of Muslim men,' Vijayvargiya said addressing the public function in Indore-1 assembly constituency area on Sunday. 'Some youths are quoting Hindu fames and emotionally entrapping girls. They are destroying the lives of these young girls.
It is essential that we caution girls about such conspiracy,' he said.
The minister further argued, 'Mothers and sisters should teach 'acchi sanskar' (good values) to young girls. Make them understand that before making friends with a youth, they should check their family background. It is Sanskar that teaches children to differentiate between the good and the bad.'
Vijayvargiya recalled that as a child, his mother would give him milk and food after he recited verses from the Ram Charit Manas.
Reciting from the Ram Charit Manas was compulsory at his home because his parents wanted him to follow the principles of Lord Rama. He said that presently television serials are disturbing young minds.
'Send your children to the park so they can learn wrestling and make good friends,' he said. 'Mobile phones have become the close friends of today's children which is affecting their health and thinking,' Vijayvargiya argued.
Recalling Indore's sensational Raja Raghuvanshi honeymoon murder case, Vijayvargiya said, 'Had Sonam (Raja Raghuvanshi's wife who is allegedly involved in the murder of her husband) been trained in good ethics and values, her mother and father would not have had to hide their faces today.'
Meanwhile, state Congress reacted strongly to Vijayvargiya's comment. State PCC spokesman Abhinav Barolia demanded an apology from Kailash Vijayvargiya for his remarks. 'The minister must apologise to women for his remarks. He cannot suppress people by shirking responsibility and talking about teaching values. Your party's govt has been in power in the state for more than two decades and there is a BJP govt at the Centre.
And then, you pin the blame on mothers and sisters. What is the double-engine govt doing?' he asked.

Congress-led UDF slams Left govt over murder convicts jailbreak in Kerala

Kochi/Kannur, Jul 25 (PTI) The opposition Congress-led UDF on Friday slammed the Left government in Kerala over the jailbreak of notorious criminal Govindachamy, alias Govindaswamy, serving a life sentence in the sensational 2011 Soumya murder case. The opposition termed the government as 'incompetent" and alleged that 'inside help" was provided for the jailbreak to the convict, who was caught later from within the Kannur city limits. Leader of Opposition in the state assembly V D Satheesan alleged that the Kannur central jail was actually 'ruled by the prisoners," many of whom were 'favourites" of the Left government. 'These prisoners have the latest mobile phones and food of their choice is provided to them. We have raised these points earlier also," he said. Regarding the jailbreak, Satheesan questioned how the convict got so many clothes to make a rope, how did he climb the walls with only one good arm, as his left arm is missing a hand, from where did he get the tools to cut through the bars of his cell and why there was a delay in informing the police about the escape. 'The golden hours of investigation were lost due to the delay in informing the police. The convict was caught due to the vigilance of the public. It is a humiliating incident for the government," he claimed. He also joked about how Govindachamy could climb the walls with only one good hand. 'We have not even seen Tarzan swinging from ropes with one hand," he said . Alleging inside help to the convict, Satheesan said that all materials for a jailbreak were provided to Govindachamy. Kannur MP and former Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief, K Sudhakaran, termed the government as 'incompetent and shameless" and blamed it for the jailbreak. He also demanded a CBI probe into the escape and alleged the possibility of inside help. CPI(M) MLA M Rajagopalan also called for a 'comprehensive probe" into the escape, saying it needs to be found out how the prisoner climbed over multiple walls of the jail. At the same time, he also claimed that there were extensive security arrangements at the prison. 41-year-old Govindachamy was caught from a well near a derelict building in Thalap within Kannur city limits around 10.30 am, hours after his jailbreak. According to the police, he escaped between 4.15 am and 6.30 am as per prison CCTV footage.

Congress has prepared plan to bring OBCs to forefront: Kharge

NEW DELHI: The Congress has prepared a plan to bring people from the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) to the forefront and asked all chief ministers to bring new welfare schemes for this section of society, party chief Mallikarjun Kharge said on Friday. Addressing a 'Bhagidari Nyay Sammelan' of OBCs at the Talkatora Stadium here, he said for the last 11 years, the Modi government has not taken any concrete steps towards the welfare of backwards, scheduled tribes or women. Kharge alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi only gives slogans and tries to adopt the policy of divide and rule by dividing the backwards, oppressed and the poor. "PM Modi is not ready to give reservation to those who are poor, oppressed and belong to the backward classes. Thus, they have to unite and help achieve what they want," he said. "They try and divide and then rule by dividing backwards and scheduled castes," he alleged.
