Kangana Ranaut shares post taking a dig at Mahatma Gandhi amid controversy

by

MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has once again sparked controversy with her thoughts on India’s battle for independence against British rule.

She stood by her statement on Tuesday, November 16, 2021, and advised people to choose their heroes wisely.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Kangana shared an old newspaper article and wrote, “Either you are a Gandhi fan or Netaji supporter. You can’t be both, choose and decide.”

The newspaper had an old article from the 1940s with the headline, ‘Gandhi, others had agreed to hand over Netaji’.

In her next IG Story, Kangana, who is known for her controversial remarks, said that freedom fighters were “handed over” to the British by those “who had no courage” to fight oppression but were “power-hungry” and “cunning”.

Taking a dig at Mahatma Gandhi, she added, “Those are the ones who taught us, if someone slaps you offer another cheek for one more slap and that is how you will get aazadi. That’s not how one gets aazadi, one can only get bheekh like that. Choose your heroes wisely.”

Kangana further claimed that Gandhi “never supported” Bhagat Singh or Subhas Chandra Bose.

“So you need to choose who you support because just placing them all in one box of your memory and every year wishing them all on their birth anniversaries is not enough. In fact, it is not just dumb, it is highly irresponsible and superficial. One must know their history and their heroes,” the actor added.

Her recent comments regarding India’s independence struggle has drawn flak from several politicians and others. Many have even demanded that the Centre take back Kangana’s Padma Shri honour for insulting the country’s independence battle.

Kangana had received the prestigious award from President Ram Nath Kovind at a ceremony hosted at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in the capital on November 8. 

Unite to protect statute: Congress to minorities

by

BENGALURU: Leader of he Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, on Tuesday called upon the Muslim community to put up a united front and back the Congress in a bid to stop the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government at the Centre, which he claimed, has been posing a threat to the Constitution.

Addressing the gathering at an event where Abdul Jabbar took charge as the KPCC Minority Cell president at Palace Grounds, Kharge stated, “Modi, who came to power twice, has destroyed the country. If this government is voted to power again, they will change the Constitution. The minorities must unite to defeat him and protect the Constitution. We will fight it out and defeat them.” 

While appreciating the community for standing by the Congress, KPCC president D K Shivakumar told the youth to be aware of the BJP removing their names from the electoral list. “I will set up a committee in this regard. You need not worry about the remarks against the community, as we are with you,” he said.
Meanwhile, the AICC Minority Wing president Imran Pratapgarhi alleged that the BJP had continued with its design of dividing society on communal lines.

Delhi pollution: Centre objects to WFH for government employees, suggests carpooling

by

NEW DELHI: The Central government on Wednesday expressed its unwillingness before the Supreme Court to ask its employees to work from home and instead it has advised its employees in the national capital to resort to carpooling to reduce the number of vehicles used by them for commuting.

The Centre in its affidavit point outs directives issued by the Commission for air quality management for Delhi-NCR and adjoining areas that included a ban on entry of trucks in Delhi till November 21 except trucks carrying essential commodities, closure of thermal plants, ban on construction and demolition activities, deployed anti-smog guns and water sprinklers etc.

The Central Government has also considered the possibility of functioning under online mode i.e. “work from home”.

In this regard, it is submitted that in the recent past, several governmental functions were impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic for substantially a long period of time which entailed pan India ramifications.

The Central Government thus considered the number of vehicles used for Central Government business in NCR and after finding that the said number is was not very significant, the Central Government decided that in view of the recent normalization of the functioning of Central Government offices post COVID-19 pandemic, the advantage of not passing work from home direction would outweigh the advantages which would be gained from work from home directions which would be limited to only less number of Central Government vehicles on road.

Instead, the Department of Personnel and Training Government of India has issued an advisory for Central Government officers and staff for pooling and sharing of vehicles to the maximum extent possible so that number of Central Government vehicles plying for commuting of officers and staff are reduced substantially.

Earlier on Monday, the Supreme Court directed the Central government to call for an “emergency meeting” on November 16 with Punjab, Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh and sought an action plan to curb the air pollution in Delhi-NCR.

The apex court asked the Centre about drastic steps which are scientifically proven and are taken to bring down pollution.

As per Centre’s affidavit, 75 per cent of the pollution according to scientific study is due to industries, heavy vehicular traffic and dust, thus it’s not stubble burning and these three factors have to be reduced, observed the Bench.

Meanwhile, Delhi’s Air quality continues to be in the ‘very poor’ category for the fourth consecutive day today, as per the System of Air Quality & Weather Forecasting & Research (SAFAR).

However, the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) reduced from 396 from Tuesday to 379 today.

The Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and adjoining Areas (CAQM) on Tuesday also issued directions like a ban on construction work, shutting of public schools, work from home, among other measures to control air pollution in the region.

The commission has also directed five states to submit a compliance report before November 22 to the commission and directions will be closely monitored by Chief Secretary of NCR states, GNCTD on a regular basis, said the official release.

Russia trained Indian personnel to operate first regiment of S-400 missiles: Official

by

NEW DELHI: Russia has already trained a group of Indian personnel to operate the first regiment of the Triumf S-400 surface-to-air missile systems and the delivery of the components of the weapons to India has begun ahead of schedule, a Russian official said on Monday.

Alexander Mikheyev, the head of Russia’s state-run military firm Rosoboronexport, told news agency TASS that a number of Russian experts will visit India in early January to oversee the installation of the weapons at the sites where it will be stationed.

He said Russia has already trained “Indian specialists” to operate the S-400 systems.

“The Indian specialists who will operate the first regiment set have completed their training and returned home,” the Rosoboronexport chief said on the sidelines of the Dubai Airshow.

The director general of the Rosoboronexport said the company is in consultations with “seven partners” on possible supplies of S-400 Triumf missile systems.

“Rosoboronexport continues consultations with Russia’s seven strategic partners on supplies of high-technology and effective S-400 missile systems,” Mikheyev said.

He also said that the shipment of equipment of the missile systems to India has begun ahead of schedule and that the first S-400 regiment will be delivered by the end of the year.

“All the material of the first regiment set will be delivered to India at the end of 2021. Immediately after the New Year, our specialists will arrive in India for the equipment transfer at the sites where it will be stationed,” Mikheyev said.

His comments came a day after Russia’s Director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) Dmitry Shugaev said that Russia has begun the delivery of the S-400 missile systems to India.

In October 2018, India had signed a USD 5 billion deal with Russia to buy five units of the S-400 air defence missile systems, despite a warning from the Trump administration that going ahead with the contract may invite US sanctions.

The Biden administration has not yet clarified whether it will impose sanctions on India under the provisions of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) for procuring the S-400 missile systems.

The CAATSA, which was brought in 2017, provides for punitive actions against any country engaged in transactions with Russian defence and intelligence sectors.

The US has already imposed sanctions on Turkey under the CAATSA for the purchase of a batch of S-400 missile defence systems from Russia.

The S-400 is known as Russia’s most advanced long-range surface-to-air missile defence system.

Following the US sanctions on Turkey, there were apprehensions that Washington may impose similar punitive measures on India.

US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, during a visit to India last month, said that any country deciding to use the S-400 missiles is “dangerous” and not in anybody’s security interest.

At the same time, she hoped that the US and India will be able to resolve differences over the procurement.

It is learnt that the matter is being discussed between India and the US.

Russia has been one of India’s key major suppliers of arms and ammunition.

Now, Telangana BJP MLA writes to Amit Shah seeking ban on Salman Khushid’s book

by

HYDERABAD: A BJP MLA from Telangana on Monday wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, seeking a ban on Congress leader Salman Khurshid’s book which has stoked a controversy over the former Union Minister allegedly comparing ‘Hindutva’ with jihadi organisations.

In a letter addressed to Shah, Singh, floor leader of BJP in the state Legislative Assembly, said Hindu Dharma is all-embracing, overarching and wishes for the welfare of the universe.

In its verdict related to ‘Hindutva’, the Supreme Court had stated it is a lifestyle with high thinking and ideal living, he said.

“Even then, only to defame Hindus and create misconceptions about ‘Hindutva’ and ‘Hindu-phobia’, Congress leader Salman Khurshid has compared ‘Hindutva’ with jihadi organisations like the ‘Islamic State’ and ‘Boko Haram’ in his book titled ‘Sunrise over Ayodhya: Nationhood in our times’,” he said.

Thus, Khurshid has insulted all Hindus, he alleged.

Hitting out at Congress, he said the party has always been creating a false impression about ‘Hindutva’.

He claimed Khurshid and Congress leaders were also spreading false information about Hindus staying all over the world, thus endangering their life.

It is a crime under law to insult a large community of people by accusing them of being terrorists, misusing the freedom to think and write which are available in the country, he claimed, demanding that the government took immediate action to stop such things.

He demanded that a ban should be immediately imposed on Salman Khurshid’s book for its anti-Hindu content.

He said if ‘Satanic Verses’, by Salman Rushdie, could be banned in the country, then Khurshid’s book also could face a similar action.

The BJP leader also also sought legal action against Khurshid for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of Hindus.

Apart from the BJP, Khurshid had faced criticism from his own party leader and former Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad for comparing Hindutva with terror groups.

Incidentally, Khurshid’s house in Uttarakhand’s Nainital was vandalised on Monday amid the row over the book.
