The incident occurred at the Devi Ahilyabai Nari Sammelan held on Saturday in Prithvipur town, where Khatik's speech was allegedly interrupted by a community leader. A video of the moment has gone viral on social media, stirring political debate. According to local media reports, as soon as Khatik was called to speak, Pal Samaj National President Shaitan Singh Pal allegedly pulled his hand and stopped him from addressing the gathering. The Union Minister attempted to free himself and briefly spoke for just two minutes. After the exchange, Khatik reportedly walked across the stage to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, had a brief conversation with him, and then left the stage in visible anger without completing his address. The viral video shows Khatik looking uncomfortable as Pal continues to hold his hand. Local BJP leaders have attempted to downplay the incident. BJP Niwari district president Rajesh told local reporters, "The BJP is a large family. Such minor incidents happen. There's no need to make a big issue of it — we resolve matters internally." MP representative Vivek Chaturvedi described Khatik as "Bundelkhand's Gandhi", and told local media, "He has conducted himself with seriousness and dignity throughout his political career. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Livguard Lithium-X: The Future of Power Backup Livguard Buy Now Undo He doesn't engage in theatrics."

The ease of doing business and the policies that have come forward for the pharmaceutical industry are a very great investment for the pharma, not only for the Indian domestic market but also for export. India will become one of the largest players in the world in the pharmaceutical industry. All the policies that are in place should favour the pharmaceutical industry so that growth can come into the industry. It's one of the best places to invest.' (ANI)

Madhya Pradesh government suspends 7 engineers for bridge with 90-degree turn
The Madhya Pradesh government on Saturday suspended seven engineers, including two chief engineers in the Public Works Department, in connection with the 'faulty design' of a new rail overbridge with a 90-degree turn in Bhopal's Aishbagh area. The sharp turn on the 648-metre bridge, constructed at the cost of Rs 18 crore, had attracted criticism for being accident-prone. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav stated that he had taken cognisance of the 'serious negligence' in the construction of the bridge and ordered an inquiry. 'Based on the investigation report, action has been taken against 8 engineers of the PWD,' he said on X. While seven engineers were suspended with immediate effect, a departmental inquiry would be conducted against a retired senior engineer, added Yadav. 'The construction agency and the design consultant have been blacklisted for submitting a faulty design of the ROB [rail overbridge] in this project,' he said. 'A committee has been formed for the necessary improvements in the ROB.' He added that the overbridge would be inaugurated only after the improvements are made. ऐशबाग आरओबी के निर्माण में हुई गंभीर लापरवाही में मैंने संज्ञान लेते हुए जाँच के आदेश दिये थे। जाँच रिपोर्ट के आधार पर लो.नि.वि. के 8 इंजीनियर्स के खिलाफ कार्रवाई की गई है। दो सीई सहित सात इंजीनियर्स को तत्काल प्रभाव से निलंबित किया गया है। एक सेवानिवृत एसई के खिलाफ विभागीय जाँच… — Dr Mohan Yadav (@DrMohanYadav51) June 28, 2025 Officials had initially defended the design and attributed the flawed alignment to limited land available near a metro station, India Today reported. 'Due to the lack of land, there was no other option,' India Today had quoted VD Verma, chief engineer, as having said earlier. On Thursday, Yadav told reporters that the 'issue of the bridge being built with an almost 90-degree sharp turn' had been brought to his notice, ANI reported. 'I said that it was being constructed from 2022 and is yet to be inaugurated,' ANI quoted him as having said. 'The bridge is under construction. In such a situation, I have asked officials and the minister to consider the objection raised, rectify the curve to avoid any accidents and also take action against those who made the mistake.'
