Nasheman News :The BJP on Wednesday came down heavily on Congress President Rahul Gandhi after Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar accused him of using a visit to an “ailing man” for politicial end and alleged the Opposition leader of being insensitive.

Hours after, Parrikar wrote a letter to Gandhi, the BJP leaders took on twitter to attack him.

“Dear Rahul Gandhi, you showed how insensitive you are, by lying in the name of a person fighting a disease. The people of India are disgusted by your reckless behaviour. In his trademark style Manohar Parrikar ji sets the record straight,” BJP President Amit Shah tweeted.

Union Ministers Ravi Shankar Prasad and Smriti Irani questioned Rahul Gandhi’s “Sanskar” and hit out at him for using the courtesy visit for politicial purposes.

“Mr Rahul Gandhi what type of human being are you? You went for an alleged courtesy visit to Goa CM Manohar Parrikar who is fighting a courageous battle against cancer and you used it for political purposes,” he said.

He said it was disgusting to use a courtesy visit to an ailing leader to propagate lies about Rafale which was never discussed during meeting.A

“We all believe Manohar Parrikar and he has rightly charged you with rank opportunism. Mr. Gandhi please maintain some standards of humanity,” he said.

Irani too slammed the Congress leader and his behaviour proved that he can stoop to any low for politicial gains.

“What kind of Sanskar you have shown by making an excuse for a courtesy call? This proves Rahul can stoop low for his political gains,” she said.

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said, “God Help Us! If what he said did not happen, why did he think it happened?”

“After being contradicted by an ailing Manohar Parrikar Ji almost immediately, the gentleman who is a habitual offender should know that credibility is a valuable asset in politics,” he tweeted.

Nasheman News :A very angry India told Pakistan on Wednesday to lay off on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir after a telephone conversation between Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference.

Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale summoned Pakistan High Commissioner Sohail Mahmood and conveyed New Delhi’s condemnation in “the strongest terms of this latest brazen attempt by Pakistan to subvert India’s unity and to violate our sovereignty and territorial integrity, by none other than the Pakistan Foreign Minister”, the Eternal Affairs Ministry said in a statement.

“The Foreign Secretary conveyed that this deplorable act has violated all norms for the conduct of international relations even by Pakistan’s own standards,” the statement said.

“The Pakistan Foreign Minister’s actions are tantamount to direct interference in the internal affairs of its neighbour,” it stated.

“Foreign Secretary underscored that by this action Pakistan has confirmed yet again that it officially abets and encourages individuals associated with terrorism and anti-India activities.”

Gokhale said that it has exposed to the entire international community Pakistan’s duplicity in professing their desire for normal relations with India on the one hand, while openly inciting anti-India activities on the other.

Gokhale also told Mahmood that “India expects Pakistan to desist forthwith from such actions”.

“He was cautioned that persistence of such behaviour by Pakistan will have implications,” the ministry statement said.

Gokhale made it clear that “Jammu and Kashmir has been, is and shall remain the integral part of India”.

New Delhi’s reaction came after Tuesday’s conversation between Qureshi and Farooq in which the former spoke about Islamabad’s efforts to “highlight” the situation in Jammu and Kashmir “internationally”.

New Delhi-Islamabad ties are frosted after repeated cross-border terror attacks from Pakistan-based terror outfits.

Nasheman News :  A meeting of Hindu seers and religious leaders — Param Dharma Sansad — on Wednesday announced they would march to Ayodhya on Basant Panchami day and lay the foundation stone for a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya on February 21. Office-bearers of the organisation said the ceremony would be replete with all rituals.

The decision was taken on the last day of Param Dharma Sansad at Kumbh. Shankracharya Swami Swaroopanand said that for the Ram temple even if they have to go to jail or face bullets, they will willingly do it. “We will face everything but ensure that Ram temple is built at that very place,” the seer said.

He warned that if any of “the three wings of power – executive, legislature and judiciary” tries to prevent them from doing so, the consequences will be grave. 

“We will perform all the rituals,” he said. Saying that the ‘Param Dharma Sansad’ had given adequate time to the government, after their meeting in Varanasi, for Ram temple construction “but there seemed an endless wait”, which was not acceptable to the Hindu community.

Swamy Avimukteshwaranad who conducted the proceedings of the ‘Sansad’ said that the move by the government to request the Supreme Court to hand over the land acquired outside the 2.22 acre stretch of the disputed land, was unacceptable.

Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Swamy Prnavanand of the Nirmohi Akhada said that Shri Ram Janmabhoomi belonged to the Hindus and nobody could take it away from them. Many other seers like Swamy Anand Giri of the Juna Akhada said instructions of Shankracharya would be complied with.
