‘Sanatan Mahakumbh a call for cultural unity'

Buxar: Former Union minister and senior BJP leader Ashwini Kumar Choubey visited Buxar on Thursday as part of a Janjagran Abhiyan to promote the upcoming Sanatan Mahakumbh, scheduled for July 6 at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. Addressing a press conference, Choubey said the event was more than a religious gathering. "The Mahakumbh is a socio-cultural Mahayagna for national awakening. It aims to revive Sanatan values, promote social harmony and reinforce India's cultural unity," he said. "If Sanatan exists, the nation exists and so do political parties. All Hindus and Muslims in this country are Sanatanis," he added. Choubey confirmed that the event would see participation from Shankaracharyas, Mahamandaleshwars, religious leaders and cultural organisations nationwide. Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Swami Shri Rambhadracharya Ji Maharaj and the heads of major Akhadas and Vedic institutions are also expected to attend. A key highlight will be an ideological seminar on the theme 'Waiting for Lord Parashuram'. "The theme represents an awakened social consciousness, one that stands against injustice, upholds equality and furthers nation-building through Sanatan culture," Choubey said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo He urged people from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan to attend and bring conches (shankhs) from home. "When thousands of conches are blown together at Gandhi Maidan, it will be a sight to behold," he said. Reiterating an earlier demand, Choubey called for a grand statue of Lord Ram to be installed in Buxar, his Karmabhoomi. He also revealed that renovations of the long-neglected Light and Sound House near Ramrekha Ghat are nearing completion. With Rs 6 crore sanctioned by the ministry of tourism, the site will soon feature a laser and light show based on epics like the Ramayana.

ACB court quashes liquor scam accused Vinay's plea

Ranchi: The special anti-corruption bureau (ACB) court on Thursday quashed a protest petition filed by suspended IAS officer and Rs 38-cr liquor scam accused, Vinay Choubey, against the extension of his judicial remand. Sources said Choubey had filed the petition claiming that even as his remand is being extended, no progress is shown in the probe. After hearing Choubey's arguments and the prosecution's side, the court rejected the plea. ACB had arrested Choubey along with excise officer Gajendra Singh on May 20. It nabbed Jharkhand State Beverage Corporation Limited's general manager (finance) Sudhir Kumar Das, and the corporation's GM (operations-cum-finance) Sudhir Kumar along with the local representative of M/s Marshann Innovate Security Service Limited Neeraj Kumar Singh on May 21. The court allowed a two-day remand of the accused persons to the ACB, which started the interrogation of the two GMs and Neeraj on Thursday.

Two liquor scam accused sent to jail

Ranchi: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Saturday produced suspended IAS officer Vinay Choubey and excise officer Gajendra Singh before the special ACB court which sent them to the Birsa Munda Central jail under judicial custody in connection with the liquor scam. During the hearing, ACB did not plead for further police remand of the two accused officers. Viplav Ajmani, the advocate appearing on behalf of the accused, prayed that Choubey be sent to the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (Rims) due to his medical conditions. The ACB public prosecutor, Vijendra Sahay, argued that the provision should be allowed only if the medical condition of the accused requires it. The court ordered that Choubey be sent to jail and directed the jail superintendent to provide treatment to him by a doctor under the jail manual. The court also asked the jail administration to provide day-to-day reports on his health. ACB arrested Choubey and Singh on May 20 in connection with the Rs 38-crore liquor scam in the state.
