Shivraj Chouhan echoes PM's call, urges citizens to use indigenous products
Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday once again echoed the Prime Minister's appeal by urging citizens to purchase products made within the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on Saturday, during the disbursement of the 20th instalment of the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi in Varanasi, urged the nation to buy indigenous products. Reaffirming the government's commitment to strengthening the economy, the Union Agriculture Minister reiterated the Prime Minister's appeal today: "Dear sisters and brothers--nieces and nephews, everyone lives for themselves--insects, birds, and animals. But what's the point of living only for oneself? We must live for our country. Living for the nation is what the Honourable Prime Minister taught us yesterday. He appealed to us to buy only those products for our homes that are made in our own country." "Dear sisters and brothers, whether something is made in your village, in a nearby city, in your district, in your state, or anywhere in our country, buy only those things. The Indian economy is growing rapidly. Today, we are ranked fourth in the world, and very soon, we will reach the third position. And this nation of 1.44 billion people is a huge market. If we resolve to buy and use only things made in our country, then our farmers, our small-scale producers, self-help groups, and local artisans- everyone will see their income increase. And when their earnings grow, our economy will become stronger. Why should our money go abroad? Let it provide livelihoods to our own children. I will live for my country, and you too should live for the means, buy only products that are Made in India. Thank you!" Earlier, he said that the welfare of farmers is a top priority of the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Addressing the gathering of farmers, officials and dignitaries in Patna, Agriculture Minister Chouhan said that with the help of the Direct Benefit Transfer scheme, the government is ensuring that the assistance reaches directly into the accounts of the farmers.

He said, "Earlier, farmers used to get only a few pennies of Rs 1 sent by the government, but now they receive the whole amount without any leakage.

MNF accuses ‘secret plot' by Mizoram CM to shift capital
1 2 Aizawl: CM Lalduhoma chaired a high-level meeting in June that discussed a master plan to transform Thenzawl, the second-largest town in his Serchhip constituency, into a Peace City. An official statement said the Union ministry of housing and urban affairs had already agreed to allocate Rs 10 crore to the Mizoram govt for preparing the master plan, of which Rs 1 crore (10 per cent) has already been released. Opposition parties trained guns on the CM, saying the latter has a hidden agenda behind the proposal. The Mizo National Front (MNF), Mizoram's main opposition party, has accused the CM of secretly attempting to shift the state capital from Aizawl to Thenzawl, located in his own constituency, without public consultation. MNF general secretary Zodinpuia claimed that while Lalduhoma publicly framed the initiative as a Peace City project to decongest Aizawl, he allegedly concealed his actual intention of making Thenzawl the new state capital. "This is a betrayal of the people's trust," he said, demanding that the CM clarify his position. The chief minister's office has not issued any response to the MNF's allegations.

Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring urges Centre to intervene in Punjab's land pooling policy
1 2 3 Chandigarh: Punjab Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring said Sunday that the Punjab Land Pooling policy was in clear violation of the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, enacted by the Congress-led UPA govt in 2013 when Dr Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister. In a written statement, Warring said it was the reason he had "urged the Central government to intervene and stop the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab from implementing the land pooling policy, which is being forced upon the unwilling farmers of the state." He stated, "While the BJP tried unsuccessfully to dilute the provisions of the law, the AAP is completely subverting it in Punjab." Warring added, "After the BJP came to power at the centre in 2014, it tried to dilute the Act and its various provisions. It was for this reason that then Union minister Arun Jaitely visited then Congress president Sonia Gandhi. It was in this context that leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said that late Arun Jaitely tried to threaten him as he was strongly against the dilution of the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act. " Warring added, "Thanks to the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi in particular, the BJP govt dropped the idea of diluting the Land Acquisition Act, which ensures that farmers' rights are protected and they are adequately compensated and rehabilitated if their land is acquired after their due consent." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ask A Pro: "I'm 70 with $1.4M in IRAs.
