Congress MLA Touches BJP Veteran's Feet At Indore Event

Amid a barrage of acerbic remarks exchanged between the ruling BJP and opposition Congress ahead of the assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Sunday saw a moment of rare bonhomie between two potential rivals.

Congress MLA Sanjay Shukla, who represents the Indore 1 constituency and will in all likelihood be fielded by his party from there, touched the feet of senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya, whose name has already been announced for the same seat.

A video of Shukla's act of respect for the BJP general secretary soon became a subject of like, share, repost and forward on social media.

The video shows Shukla, who was in the audience, standing up to say that Vijayvargiya was an honourable figure for him and then goes on to touch his feet.

The two leaders were attending a collective forgiveness function of the Jain community at Gommatgiri crossing in Indore.

Vijayvargiya reciprocated the gesture by hugging Shukla, demonstrating the rare gesture of bonhomie between the probable rival candidates.

During the mass forgiveness function of the Jain community, people apologise to each other for the mistakes committed knowingly or unknowingly. This event has religious significance in the Jain community.

The Congress and BJP have upped the ante against each other by resorting to non-stop wranglings ahead of the Madhya Pradesh assembly polls due by the year-end.

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have repeatedly visited the state in recent months, the BJP has fielded seven MPs, including three Union ministers, and Vijayvargiya apparently to overcome anti-incumbency.

जानें, इजराइल पर 20 मिनट में 5000 रॉकेट दागने वाले हमास ग्रुप के बारे में 5 बातें

1. हमास (Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamat al-Islāmiyyah) की स्थापना साल 1987 में इजरायली शासन के खिलाफ एक फिलिस्तीनी विद्रोह के दौरान हुई. इसका मकसद फिलिस्तीन में इस्लामिक राज्य स्थापित करना है.
2. हमास वर्तमान में गाजा पट्टी पर नियंत्रण रखता है, जो पूर्वी भूमध्यसागरीय तट पर एक फिलिस्तीनी क्षेत्र है. 2006 के फिलिस्तीनी विधायी चुनावों में जीत हासिल करने के बाद, इसने 2007 में अपने प्रतिद्वंद्वी फतह के साथ हिंसक संघर्ष के बाद गाजा पर कब्जा कर लिया. तब से, हमास गाजा पर राज कर रहा है, जबकि फतह वेस्ट बैंक पर शासन करता है.
3. हमास को इजराइल, संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका, यूरोपीय संघ और कई अन्य देश एक आतंकवादी संगठन मानते हैं. 
4. हमास ने पिछले कुछ वर्षों में इजराइल के ठिकानों पर इसने कई हमले किए हैं, जिनमें आत्मघाती बम विस्फोट, रॉकेट लॉन्च और हिंसा के अन्य तरीके शामिल हैं. इस वजह से दोनों तरफ काफी संख्या लोगों की जानें गई हैं.
5. शनिवार को 5000 रॉकेट दागकर इजराइल पर हमास ने पिछले कुछ वर्षों में सबसे घातक हमला किया है.

Man Who Made Threat Call To Nitin Gadkari Swallows Iron Wire In Jail

An accused, arrested for allegedly making threat calls to Union minister Nitin Gadkari's office, swallowed iron wire while in jail though he remains in good health as of now, police said on Saturday.

Jayesh Pujari alias Kantha, lodged in the Central Jail here, has been kept under monitoring, said an official.

Earlier this week, he told jail officials that he had swallowed a piece of wire and "50 tablets". He was produced before a court on Thursday where he reiterated the claim, and was examined, on the court's order, by the doctors at the Government Medical College and Hospital.

The examination confirmed the presence of wire fragments in his stomach, but his health remained unaffected and he was declared fit by the doctors, the official said.

He was then taken back to the central jail. The prison's medical team continues to monitor his condition closely, the official said.

Pujari had repeatedly tried to get himself transferred to the Belagavi jail where he had been lodged earlier, the official said. It is suspected that he wanted to move to that jail as he had built a criminal network there and enjoyed access to mobile phones and some other facilities.

While lodged in Belagavi jail, Pujari allegedly made threat calls to Gadkari's office in January this year after colluding with Bengaluru terror attack convict Afsar Pasha. Claiming to be a member of the Dawood Ibrahim gang, he demanded Rs 100 crore.

He made another call on March 21, after which he was arrested in the case and brought to Nagpur.

Army Major Who Fired On Soldiers In Rajouri Camp To Face Court Of Inquiry

A Court of Inquiry was ordered on Friday against an Army Major for allegedly opening fire on his colleagues and injuring five personnel, including three officers, inside a camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri, officials said.

Tension gripped areas around the Neeli post in the Thanamandi area on Thursday and senior officials rushed to the camp for first-hand information about the incident.

According to information gathered through various sources, the Major, who has been identified as 'Prince', created a hue and cry about a possible terror attack prompting his commanding officer to rush his second-in-command from Thanamandi, 18 km from the Neeli post.

Attempts were made to pacify the officer who seemed to be having panic attack. The officer ensured all weapons in the post were deposited in the armoury.

As soon as attempts were made to pacify him, he allegedly started firing indiscriminately and throwing grenades, injuring two middle-rung personnel and the unit's second-in-command.

This prompted the commanding officer of the unit, along with the Regimental Medical Officer (RMO), to rush to the scene. They too were injured and reportedly suffered from splinter injuries.

The injured were taken to Thanamandi, from where three were airlifted to the Command Hospital in Udhampur.

The Major has been detained and is being questioned, the officials said, adding that a Court of Inquiry has been ordered into the incident.

The tense situation at the camp lasted nearly eight hours before the officer was overpowered inside the armoury late last evening.

The army posted on X that an officer was injured in a likely grenade accident at a post in Rajouri.

"On 05 Oct 23 one officer was injured in a likely grenade accident at a post in Rajouri sector. Officer evacuated and stable post initial treatment. Further investigation of the incident in progress," the White Knight Corps of the army posted on X.

Official sources said there was a firing practice session at the camp for the past several days and the accused officer started firing on his colleagues and subordinates without any provocation on Thursday afternoon.

Later, he took shelter inside the armoury of the camp and hurled grenades when the commanding officer, along with his deputy and the medical officer, moved near the building in an effort to persuade him to surrender, the sources said.

On the incident, Jammu-based defence PRO Lt Col Suneel Bartwal in a message said, "I have received calls about some firing/terrorist attack on army camp in General Area Rajouri. I would like to inform you that no terrorist attack has occurred, it is an unfortunate internal incident of the camp."

NCP's Mohammed Faizal Disqualified As Lok Sabha Member

NCP leader Mohammed Faizal PP was disqualified as member of the Lok Sabha on Wednesday after the Kerala High Court rejected his plea for suspension of his conviction in a murder case.

"In view of order dated 03.10.2023 of the Hon'ble High Court of Kerala, Shri Mohammed Faizal PP, Member of Lok Sabha representing the Lakshadweep Parliamentary Constituency of the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, stands disqualified from the membership of Lok Sabha from the date of his conviction, i.e. 11th January, 2023," a Lok Sabha Secretariat bulletin stated.

This is the second time Faizal has been disqualified as member of the Lok Sabha.

He was disqualified as Lok Sabha member on January 25, days after a sessions court at Kavaratti had convicted him and three others on charges of attempting to murder P Salih and sentenced all the three to rigourous imprisonment for 10 years.

Mohammed Faizal's disqualification was revoked on March 29, months after the Kerala High Court suspended his conviction and sentencing in the case.

In August 2023, the Supreme Court set aside the Kerala High Court order on an appeal filed by the Union Territory of Lakshadweep.
