DMK obstructing Murugan meet: L Murugan
Madurai: Union minister of state
L Murugan
on Saturday accused the DMK government of deliberately creating obstacles to the Murugan Devotees Conference in Madurai, with the support of the police.
He claimed the state's actions reflected fear over the growing influence of the event.
"Despite the DMK's anti-Hindu stance and pressure tactics, the conference will proceed with full enthusiasm," Murugan said after visiting the venue. "Lakhs have already arrived in Madurai. The scale of participation is comparable to the Chithirai festival."
Highlighting the BJP's past campaigns, he said, "We responded to those who insulted Kanda Sashti Kavasam with the Vel Yatra. This conference is our answer to the controversy in Thiruparankundram. Tomorrow, lakhs will sing the Kavasam in unison, and we urge other devotees to join in from their homes."

BJP backs Diljit Dosanjh amid Sardaar Ji 3 row, says Punjabi actor-singer a 'national asset'
The ongoing row over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Amir in 'Sardaar Ji 3' has led to backlash for actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh, with people calling for boycott of the movie. Some have also demanded for Diljit's Indian citizenship to be revoked. In a post on social media platform X, BJP national spokesperson R P Singh said that Dosanjh was a 'celebrated artist'. However, amid the online flak, the Bharatiya Janata Party has extended its support to Dosanjh, calling him a 'national asset' and a 'global ambassador of Indian culture'. In a post on social media platform X, BJP national spokesperson R P Singh said that Dosanjh was a 'celebrated artist'. He said that the call by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), asking for the singer's Indian citizenship to be revoked, was 'unfair' and 'shockingly disproportionate'. Defending Dosanjh's movie, Singh said it was shot before the Pahalgam terror attack. 'If there is anguish, it can be expressed through a boycott or by urging that the film not be screened in India,' the BJP spokesperson said, adding that 'attacking' Dosanjh's patriotism was 'simply irrational'. 'Just days before the Pahalgam incident, the Indian cricket team played a match against Pakistan. Did FWICE or others object then? TV news channels routinely invite Pakistani guests to boost TRPs. Should those anchors now relinquish their citizenship too?' Singh questioned in the post. He urged the FWICE to reconsider its stance and not to 'weaponise patriotism', while saying that it weakens our moral standing. 'Have they forgotten Uri, Pulwama?': FWICE on Sardaar Ji 3 row While Diljit Dosanjh addressed the backlash for the movie's casting of Hania Amir, saying that these decisions are not in his control, FWICE objected to his working with a Pakistani artiste. The federation has also written to the Government of India, seeking strong action against the film and its makers. 'How have they forgotten Uri, Pulwama, or Mumbai attack or so many other attacks that Pakistan did on our country?' FWICE Chief Advisor and President, Indian Film and Television Directors' Association, Ashoke Pandit, questioned. He further said that Dosanjh was being 'careless about emotions of this country', adding that the singer had not condemned Hania Amir's remarks on Operation Sindoor and India. The movie 'Sardaar Ji 3' was released overseas on Friday (June 27), but will not be available for the public in India.

‘Some BJP MPs also back over Waqf stand': top Muslim body chief on eve of Patna rally
After holding scores of protest meetings against the amended Waqf law across Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal, Imarat-e-Shariah, one of the country's leading Muslim organisations, is set to hold a mega rally in Patna's Gandhi Maidan on Sunday to keep the heat on the BJP-led Centre over the row. Imarat-e-Sharia, headquartered in Patna, has rejected the Waqf amendment legislation, calling for its withdrawal. The legislation was passed by Parliament in April. In May, after hearing multiple petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the Waqf Amendment Act, 2025, the Supreme Court reserved its decision on the prayer for interim directions. Speaking to The Indian Express, Imarat-e-Shariah head Faisal Rahmani said: 'Though we have been protesting against the draconian Waqf Amendment Bill right from the start, we want to keep the pressure on the Centre. We have been creating awareness among public about how the Centre's Waqf amendments are against several provisions of the Constitution and Supreme Court rulings. It is nothing but a bid to take away our places of worship and heritage buildings. This law undermines the spirit of brotherhood in the country.' Rahmani said: 'We accept the 1995 Waqf law. Going by the amendments to it, how can one disallow Hindus to donate their land for a good cause? Our records show that there are thousands of educational, medical and social organisations and institutions being run on Waqf land, some of which even have more Hindu beneficiaries in comparison to Muslims. Take for example Maulana Mazharul Haque University in Patna, which has 88% Hindu students in its courses.' He said, 'The Centre summarily rejected our more than 300 representations against the Waqf Bill – we are also rejecting their amended Waqf law.' Calling the Waqf law 'irrational', the Imarat-e-Shariah chief also said: 'What will happen when someone asks for proof of Ashokan pillars or a whole lot of our historical monuments cutting across religions? This law aims at creating enmity among citizens… Public is a great force. It had made the NDA-led central government withdraw three farm laws. Patna rally is just the beginning, we will keep the pressure on the Centre.' Asked about timing of the Imarat-e-Shariah's protests ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly polls, Rahmani said they have been seeking support from all parties. 'We are getting calls of solidarity from various political parties. In fact, some BJP MPs have also been supporting our Waqf stand,' he claimed. In March, during Ramzan, Imarat-e-Shariah had given a call to boycott the 'sarkari' Iftar hosted by Chief Minister and JD(U) president Nitish Kumar in Patna. The JD(U) had termed the Imarat-e-Shariah's boycott announcement 'uncalled for'. This was perhaps the first time that a leading Muslim body had made such a move. The Muslim community accounts for over 17% of Bihar's population and is concentrated in Kishanganj, Araria, Purnia, Katihar and Purnia. Several other districts in the state, including Darbhanga, Madhubani, Patna and Nalanda, also have sizeable Muslim population.

50 years of Emergency: ‘At that time, truth itself was censored'; press silenced & journalists jailed, fear gripped newsrooms
Veteran journalist JP Shukla recalls how truth was suppressed, dissent was stifled, and journalists faced arrest LUCKNOW: Referring to press censorship and the role of the press during Emergency, BJP veteran LK Advani once famously remarked, 'When the media was asked to bend, it crawled'. This quote captures the dark chapter in Indian journalism when the press surrendered before the state. Veteran journalist JP Shukla, who served with both 'The Hindu' and the Press Trust of India (PTI), recalled the grim picture of press freedom during 1975-77. 'It was a time when truth itself was censored, and journalists were either silenced or turned into targets,' he said. On the night of June 25, 1975, when the Emergency was declared, newspapers across Delhi were forced to shut down. 'No newspaper was printed the next day,' said Shukla. In Lucknow, news agency services went silent. What followed was complete press censorship. 'Every news item had to be submitted to censor office under the information department before publication. Original stories filed by reporters were not published, instead pre-approved agency copies with the byline mentioning 'Staff Reporter' became the norm,' he said. 'Initially, censorship was limited to news content, and many editors used the editorial space to express dissent. However, once this was noticed, even editorial freedom was revoked. Some newspapers protested by leaving editorials blank or printing them with black borders. A few journalists and editors were arrested. One editor in Varanasi openly criticised the PM and was jailed with the publisher,' he said. Shukla recalled an incident involving Chaudhary Charan Singh. 'He delivered a three-hour speech in the Assembly but the newspapers were allowed to print only one line: 'Chaudhary Charan Singh criticised the govt'. The rest was censored,' he said. 'Many journalists went underground to avoid arrest. PK Roy of 'The Hindu', against whom an arrest warrant was issued, continued to report secretly from Lal Kuan office of 'Amar Ujala' in Lucknow. Ironically, journalists who remained free were sometimes mocked by their pro-govt peers, with comments like, 'You haven't been jailed yet?'' recalled Shukla.
