पश्चिम बंगाल के सांसदों, नेताओं को दिल्ली पुलिस ने "घसीटा, बदसलूकी की": तृणमूल कांग्रेस

ममता बनर्जी (Mamata Banerjee) की पार्टी तृणमूल कांग्रेस (TMC) ने आरोप लगाया है कि केंद्र से फंड की मांग को लेकर दिल्ली में जारी पार्टी के विरोध प्रदर्शन के दूसरे दिन पुलिस ने उसके सांसदों और नेताओं के साथ "बदसलूकी की और उन्हें बेरहमी से घसीटा." केंद्रीय ग्रामीण विकास मंत्रालय पर धरना दे रहे तृणमूल कांग्रेस के नेताओं ने दावा किया कि राज्यमंत्री साध्वी निरंजन ज्योति (Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti) ने उनसे यह कहते हुए मिलने से इनकार कर दिया कि वे पांच से अधिक प्रतिनिधियों से नहीं मिलेंगी.

अपने साथ प्रधानमंत्री और ग्रामीण विकास मंत्री को लिखे गए पत्रों के बंडल लेकर आए तृणमूल कांग्रेस के नेताओं मंत्री से मिले बिना वहां से जाने से इनकार कर दिया.

दूसरी तरफ राज्यमंत्री साध्वी निरंजन ज्योति ने एक्स पर एक वीडियो पोस्ट किया जिसमें वे अपने आफिस में बैठी हुई दिखाई दे रही हैं. 

आज 02:30 घंटे का समय व्यर्थ गया।

आज तृणमूल के सांसदों की प्रतीक्षा करते करते 08:30 बजे कार्यालय से निकली हूँ।

मेरी जानकारी के अनुसार तृणमूल के सांसद और बंगाल के मंत्रियों के प्रतिनिधिमण्डल ने कार्यालय में 06:00 बजे मिलने का समय लिया था।

उन्होंने लिखा- ''आज 02:30 घंटे का समय व्यर्थ गया. आज तृणमूल के सांसदों की प्रतीक्षा करते करते 08:30 बजे कार्यालय से निकली हूं. मेरी जानकारी के अनुसार तृणमूल के सांसद और बंगाल के मंत्रियों के प्रतिनिधिमंडल ने कार्यालय में 06:00 बजे मिलने का समय लिया था. लेकिन बाद में वे तृणमूल के कार्यकर्ताओं को जनता बताकर मिलना चाह रहे थे,जो कि कार्यालय की व्यवस्था के विरुद्ध था. संबंधित भेंट के तय विषयों से वे पीछे हट गए क्योंकि उनका उद्देश्य भेंट करना नहीं था, उनकी मंशा राजनीति करने की थी. तृणमूल नेताओं द्वारा की गई यह अत्यंत शर्मनाक घटना है.''

ममता बनर्जी के भतीजे अभिषेक बनर्जी के नेतृत्व में तृणमूल कांग्रेस पार्टी के सांसदों और राज्य के कैबिनेट मंत्रियों का एक ग्रुप धरने पर बैठ गया है. धरना रात 9 बजे तक जारी था. टीएमसी का दावा है कि इसके बाद पुलिस विरोध प्रदर्शन समाप्त करा दिया और कई नेताओं को हिरासत में ले लिया.

सांसद महुआ मोइत्रा को महिला पुलिसकर्मियों ने पकड़ लिया और घसीटकर ले गईं. इस पर महुआ मोइत्रा ने कहा, "एक सांसद के साथ ऐसा कर रहे हैं आप लोग."

पश्चिम बंगाल में सत्तारूढ़ तृणमूल कांग्रेस ने बीजेपी के नेतृत्व वाली एनडीए सरकार पर महात्मा गांधी राष्ट्रीय ग्रामीण रोजगार गारंटी अधिनियम (मनरेगा) और पीएम आवास योजना के तहत राज्य का बकाया 15,000 करोड़ रुपये रोकने का आरोप लगाया है.

बीजेपी ने इस आरोप को खारिज कर दिया है और तृणमूल कांग्रेस पर पश्चिम बंगाल में घोटालों से ध्यान भटकाने के लिए दिल्ली में "नाटक" करने का आरोप लगाया है.

Will Remain Deployed Till Full Disengagement Takes Place At LAC: IAF Chief

The IAF's operational plans are very dynamic and it will deal with challenges along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) through better tactics and training in places where it cannot counter the "numbers or the might of the adversary", Air Chief Marshal V R Chaudhari said on Tuesday, amid the lingering border row with China in eastern Ladakh.

The Chief of Air Staff, addressing a press conference ahead of the Air Force Day on October 8, asserted that the IAF will continue to remain deployed along the frontier in the region till complete disengagement takes place in the remaining contested areas.

To a question on China's rapid expansion of military infrastructure and enhancing deployment of air assets along the LAC, he said the IAF is constantly monitoring the situation across the borders through ISR (Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) mechanisms.

"We make note of the build-up of resources and capabilities across the borders. Our operational plans are very dynamic and keep changing based on the situation that we perceive that is developing across any front," he said.

"So in places where we cannot really counter the numbers or the might of the adversary, we will counter it through better tactics and through better training," he said.

The Air Chief Marshal said the IAF does not have a fixed mindset in terms of the deployment of assets in key areas along the LAC.

"Our focus will remain to be dynamic at all times and not have a fixed mindset in terms of deployment of assets in particular areas. But we have very very flexible and dynamic war plans which we keep revising every now and then based on the ISR inputs that we get," he said.

The Chief of Air Staff said the IAF is in the process of deploying mountain radars to improve surveillance along the borders.

"The situation continues to remain what it was in the last one year. There have been disengagements in certain contested areas. But complete disengagement has not yet taken place," he said when asked about the ground situation along the LAC in eastern Ladakh.

"We will continue to remain deployed till complete disengagement takes place," he said.

Giving details of steps being taken to bolster the Indian Air Force's operational prowess, he said a contract to procure 97 Tejas Mark 1A aircraft at a cost of around Rs 1.15 lakh crore will be concluded soon. 

In February 2021, Defence Ministry sealed a Rs 48,000-crore deal with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd to procure 83 such jets.

Air Chief Marshal Chaudhari said the IAF is looking at inducting military platforms, equipment and defence hardware worth Rs 2.5 lakh crore to Rs 3 lakh crore in the next seven-eight years.

Answering a question, Air Chief Marshal Chaudhari said that the IAF received three units of S-400 missile systems from Russia and it is hoping to receive the remaining two by next year.

The Chief of Air Staff described the Indo-Pacific region as the "new economic and strategic centre of gravity" of the world that offers both challenges and opportunities.

"The Indian Air Force with its inherent capability to see the farthest, reach the fastest and hit the hardest will be critical in mitigating these challenges and will remain a fulcrum in projecting India's might in the region," he said.

"Owing to the volatile and uncertain geopolitical landscape in our region, the need to have a strong and credible military has become an imperative," he said.

The Chief of Air Staff said modern warfare is constantly undergoing a transformation due to rapid advancements in technology and that his force has embarked on a journey of transformation and is progressing in a planned and systematic manner.

"Our focus is on force multipliers in the form of AI (artificial intelligence)-based decision tools, electronic warfare equipment, robust networks and harnessing space and cyber capabilities.

"While adding newer and more potent equipment, platforms and weapons to our arsenal, we are also committed to Atmanirbhar Bharat and are contributing extensively towards enhancing indigenisation and defence production, fast-paced development and operationalisation of indigenous aerospace projects," he said.

Air Chief Marshal Chaudhari said persistent surveillance capability, sharpening of sensor-to-shooter time, long-range precision weapons and development of multi-domain capability are the main focus areas of the IAF.

"We have recently witnessed the induction of the first C-295 aircraft. The project is an important milestone in boosting our defence industry and will contribute immensely," he said.

Mr Naidu's wife Nara Bhuvaneshwari also joined the hunger strike but in Andhra Pradesh's Rajamahendravaram.

The Naidu family and party workers and MPs held the hunger strike from 10 am to 5 pm.

"Great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela went to jail for the principles they trusted, while Chandrababu Naidu was jailed for launching the Skill Development project to provide employment fo the jobless," said Nara Lokesh, addressing the media after ending his fast.

According to the TDP general secretary, as many as 2.15 lakh young men and women were trained under this programme - 80,000 were placed through the programme.

Terming the TDP chief's arrest a political vendetta, Nara Lokesh said the Supreme Court will take up Mr Naidu's quash petition on Tuesday and based on the court's decision, the party will announce its future course of action.

Chandrababu Naidu was arrested on September 9 for allegedly misappropriating funds from the Skill Development Corporation, which resulted in a purported loss of over Rs 300 crore to the state exchequer.

"Just Clicking Pictures": Telangana Minister Slams Swachh Bharat Events

Telangana Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao (KTR), while participating in the launch of silt carting vehicles under the Dalit Bandhu scheme in Hyderabad, hit out at the Swachh Bharat Mission of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday.

BRS Minister KTR said, "On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, today some leaders are sitting in Delhi and giving slogans of Swachh Bharat, Swachh this and Swachh that. But there won't be much work related to it. There will be only programs for clicking pictures and remembering Gandhiji here and there for namesake."

"However, keeping Gandhi's views of Swachta in mind, we have taken up Swachh Telangana," he added. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier on Friday called upon people across the country to take part in a cleanliness drive on October 1 beginning at 10 am and said that Swachh Bharat is a shared responsibility, and every effort counts.

The Prime Minister himself also participated in the Swachh Bharat campaign and met social media sensation Ankit Baiyanpuriya, who had started a 75-day hard challenge to imbibe the culture of fitness among the youth.

They discussed fitness and cleanliness as they participated in the Swachh Bharat initiative, a video released by PM Modi on his X timeline showed.

“Today, as the nation focuses on Swachhata, Ankit Baiyanpuriya and I did the same! Beyond just cleanliness, we blended fitness and well-being also into the mix. It is all about that Swachh and Swasth Bharat vibe!” the video captioned.

PM Modi said Swachh Bharat is the collective responsibility of all citizens of the country and that public participation is very important in this direction. He had asked everyone to take an hour on Sunday at 10 am to maintain cleanliness and help build a brighter future for the country.

Leaders from across the country took part in the 'Shramdaan for Cleanliness' program as part of the 'Swachhata Hi Seva' campaign on October 1.

Indian-Origin UK MP Hails Yogi Adityanath For UP's "Changed Perception"

A British MP sent a postcard to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, congratulating him for the "changed perception" of the state.

The British MP of Indian origin, Virendra Sharma, in his postcard, wrote, "Honorable Yogi Adityanath, I would like to congratulate you for achieving great successes in UP and bringing peace to the state".

On this occasion, author Shantanu Gupta presented his best-selling graphic novel - "Ajay to Yogi Adityanath" to the British MP. Each of his graphic novels contains a postcard to send a message to UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Virendra Sharma also wrote a message.

Speaking at the House of Commons, author Shantanu Gupta discussed the developmental journey of Uttar Pradesh.

He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has created 'Brand India' across the world, because of which Indians are given more importance across the world today, and ‘Brand UP' has become a strong brand across India.

Shantanu Gupta further said that the same Uttar Pradesh, which was once known for anarchy, corruption, and inefficient governance, is now a top investment destination under the Yogi government. In the ranking of ‘Ease of Doing Business', UP jumped from 14th place before 2017 to second position.

The author also mentioned that Uttar Pradesh is currently ranked number 1 in the implementation of more than 40 schemes of the Central Government. Today, Uttar Pradesh is known for its achievements such as the Uttar Pradesh Expressway, new airports, 24-hour electricity, and a strong law and order situation.

Mr Gupta shared some fascinating conversations between him and Yogi Adityanath's father, Anand Singh Bisht.

The author told the British Parliament that during his research, Anand Bisht revealed that a small blue one-and-a-half-room house in Uttarakhand's Panchur village was his only possession in life. This was all he could earn in his lifetime from the humble job of a forest guard.
