India joins elite global group safeguarding rinderpest virus, secures top biosecurity status at Bhopal lab

NEW DELHI: India has joined an elite global group dedicated to the containment of the Rinderpest virus, commonly referred to as cattle plague. This group includes facilities from the UK, USA, France, Japan, and Ethiopia. Rinderpest was once the most destructive livestock diseases in history but was globally eradicated in 2011. However, Rinderpest Virus-Containing Material (RVCM) still remains in a few laboratories, posing potential risks if released. A significant milestone in global animal health and biosecurity was reached when the ICAR-National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases (NIHSAD) in Bhopal was designated as a Category A Rinderpest Holding Facility (RHF). India has laid down a global standard protocol in the NIHSAD centre to keep the virus and developed capabilities to conduct research on it. This designation was granted by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. With this recognition, India is now among a select group of six facilities worldwide entrusted with the crucial task of securely holding rinderpest virus materials. The other five facilities are located in the UK, USA, France, Japan, and Ethiopia. The formal recognition of the institution came initially for a one-year term from WOAH and FAO. Indias role in preserving the rinderpest eradication legacy is vital, a testament to the nations readiness and global leadership in animal health, said Alka Upadhyaya, Secretary of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying. India formally submitted its application for RHF status in 2019. In March 2025, international experts appointed by FAO and WOAH conducted a joint inspection of ICAR-NIHSAD. Following a comprehensive evaluation, the institute has now been officially approved as a Category A RHF for a one-year term in recognition of its robust biosafety protocols, effective inventory management, and state of readiness for emergencies. The announcement was made during the 92nd General Session of the WOAH held in Paris on 29th May 2025. Rinderpest, once known as cattle plague, was one of the most destructive livestock diseases in history before its global eradication in 2011. However, Rinderpest Virus-Containing Material (RVCM) still remains in a few laboratories, posing potential risks if released. To preserve global freedom from the disease, FAO and WOAH have implemented strict measures to limit the storage of RVCM to a small number of high-security laboratories worldwide. In alignment with this global initiative, India had designated ICAR-NIHSAD, a high-containment BSL-3 facility and WOAH reference laboratory for avian influenza, as its national repository for RVCM back in 2012.

'I work for Sangh': MP Congress MLA puts party in a bind

BHOPAL: A first-time Congress MLA kicked up a storm when he publicly declared his association with the Sangh (RSS), while being in the principal opposition party. A video of Bhairo Singh, the first-time Congress MLA from the Susner seat of western MPs Agar-Malwa district, was shared by state BJP spokesperson Pankaj Chaturvedi on the social media platform X on Monday. In the video, which pertains to a Sondhiya caste Mahasabha event held around ten days ago, Singh can be heard saying, Despite being in the Congress, I too am associated with the Sangh. @INCMP @RSSorg @RahulGandhi #RSS #MadhyaPradesh @INCIndia , pic.twitter.com/JteYmA59Iz Pankaj Chaturvedi (@pankaj4fitness) June 16, 2025 Alongside the video, Chaturvedi wrote, Rahul Gandhi, you unnecessarily curse the RSS. Your party MLA Bhairo Singh is openly saying that he is associated with the RSS. You should wake up from slumber and dont look for sleep cells and horses in your party. The state Congress spokesperson, Bhupendra Gupta, however, claimed that by Sangh, the Susner MLA didnt mean the RSS, he meant the Sangh of his Sondhiya Samaj. BJP is just making up an issue, he said.

Madhya Pradesh League: Arshad Lauds 'superhero Of The Match' Shivang As Bhopal Leopards Beat Bundelkhand Bulls

Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Stadium: Bhopal Leopards skipper Arshad Khan had nothing but praise for rising star Shivang Kumar, who delivered a sensational all-round performance to guide his team to a thumping 98-run win over Bundelkhand Bulls in Match 7 of the Madhya Pradesh League 2025 held at at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Stadium. The match saw Bhopal Leopards register their first win of the tournament, and they did so in a style that spoke volumes about their potential this season. The highlight of todays game was undoubtedly Shivang Kumar. The way he batted and contributed with the ball too. He was the superhero of the match, said Arshad after the game. I just hope he continues delivering like this. It's these kinds of small efforts that ultimately win games. You also saw how brilliantly our bowling unit stepped up. Its the best thing for the team, he added. Earlier in the evening, Arshad Khan won the toss and chose to bat first, a decision that paid rich dividends. Openers Yash Dubey and Shivang Kumar gave Bhopal a flying start with a massive 140-run partnership for the opening wicket. While Yash played a steady hand with his 47 off 37 balls, it was Shivang who stole the show. Playing with intent and flair, Shivang smashed 91 off just 42 deliveries, laced with nine fours and six sixes, setting the tone for Bhopals imposing total. Finisher Aniket Verma added the finishing touches with a blistering cameo of 32 off 14 balls, pushing Bhopal to 228/8, the highest team total of the season so far. Bundelkhands bowlers tried to pull things back in the death overs, with Shubham Kaithwas picking up three wickets, but the damage had already been done. With a mammoth target ahead of them, Bundelkhand Bulls needed a solid start, but Arshad Khan made sure that didnt happen. The skipper struck early, removing opener Abhishek Pathak, and from there, Bhopal kept applying the pressure. Though Karan Tahliyani (34 off 16) and captain Harsh Gawli (40 off 31) showed some fight in the middle overs, Bhopals bowlers kept chipping away. Once the two set batters were dismissed, wickets tumbled rapidly, with Bundelkhand eventually folding for 130 in 16.3 overs, handing Bhopal a commanding 98-run victory. Gautam Raghuwanshi, Ayush Mankar, and Himanshu Mankar picked up two wickets each. Shivang Kumar, fresh off his batting heroics, also chipped in with a wicket. Arshad led from the front with one scalp and brilliant field placements that maintained constant pressure. Speaking post-match, Arshad reflected on the broader impact of MPL on players' careers. MPL is a great platform. Last year, two players from Bhopal Leopards made it to the IPL. I hope many more from this team go on to play at higher levels, he said. Arshad, who was recently a part of the Gujarat Titans squad in IPL 2025 under Shubman Gill and Ashish Nehra, emphasized how important learnings from such experiences are in shaping match temperament. When you play at a higher level, you gain experience and learn a lot. I try to apply those lessons here, whether its reading the game quicker or understanding pressure situations better, he explained.

Security forces storm Maoist stronghold in Pachama Dadar, foil key annual meeting in MP

BHOPAL: Back in the late 1990s, two trucks loaded with explosives were looted by armed Maoist cadres in the dense Pachama Dadar forests of southeastern Balaghat district. Nearly three decades later, a prolonged but successful cordon and search operation by anti-Maoist security forces in the same forest on Saturday and Sunday has led to the elimination of four outlaws and the recovery of a truck filled with arms, ammunition, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), detonators and other belongings. An intensive and ongoing operation by the anti-Maoist establishment, comprising the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), particularly its COBRA teams, the state polices Hawk Force, and teams from the Balaghat and Mandla district police, resulted in two back-to-back encounters on Saturday. The encounters led to the killing of four armed Maoist cadres, including three women, now identified as Suman (Darrekhasa Area Committee), Rita (Tanda Area Committee), Ravi and Imla alias Tulsi (both from the Malajkhand Area Committee). All four carried rewards of Rs 14 lakh each. Among them, Ravi was a key member of the Kanha Bhoramdeo Divisional Committee, a Maoist administrative unit established by the Communist Party of India (Maoist) to expand their presence in the forested areas of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Ravi was among the closest aides of Milind Teltumbde, the CPI (Maoist) Central Committee member and in-charge of the outfits Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh (MMC) zone, who was killed in an encounter with security forces in Maharashtra in 2021, Balaghat district police superintendent Aditya Mishra told TNIE on Sunday. One of the three women Naxals, identified as Rita, was accused in 33 cases in Madhya Pradesh alone. A native of Maharashtra, she is believed to have killed a policeman in her home state in the past. She was the wife of Devchand alias Chandu, a divisional committee member. It is around this time every year that the annual plenary meeting of all three area committees of the CPI (Maoist) active in this region is held to plan the future course of action. The hideout which was busted in the dense Pachama Dadar forests was supposed to be the place where the meeting was to be held shortly, to chalk out the future action plan, particularly to bring in fresh cadres from Chhattisgarh, where the outlaws have been pushed to the back foot due to sustained anti-Maoist operations aimed at uprooting left-wing extremism (LWE) by March 2026, a senior Madhya Pradesh police official said. The successful anti-Maoist operation on Saturday is believed to have not only disrupted the regrouping of the three area committees for a major event but also prevented the crucial annual meeting from taking place. With search and combing operations still continuing deep inside the forests, the possibility of the meeting being held has become remote. Ravi couldve been the key man who might have been tasked with the transit of armed LWE cadres from Chhattisgarh to strengthen the armed struggle here, but he has been eliminated, the senior officer said. Almost three decades ago, the Pachama Dadar forests, located around 65 km from Balaghat town, were a core mining zone but gradually turned into one of the safest and most unbreachable terrains for the LWE. In the late 1990s, the armed Maoist cadres looted two trucks full of explosives. Nearly three decades later, the police have recovered arms, ammunition and explosives, including IEDs, live detonators, grenades, rifles and grenade launchers from the hideout in the same jungles. The recovery was so large that it had to be transported in a truck, Mishra said. Almost 30 years later, the ongoing operation in the densely forested Pachama Dadar plateau, which started on Saturday, has changed the narrative that we (security forces) cannot come there and hit you. The unbreachable Naxal base has been breached and it no longer remains their impregnable safehouse, Mishra added.

Meghalaya honeymoon murder case: Ghazipur girl claims she travelled with accused Sonam in a bus to Gorakhpur

BHOPAL/ LUCKNOW: Ujala Yadav, a young student in Holipur (Inamipur) village in Ghazipur districts Saidpur area, has claimed that she met Raja Raghuvanshis wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, outside the Varanasi railway station and later at the bus terminal in Varanasi on May 8 night. Raja's wife, Sonam, now in Meghalaya police custody, had surrendered in Uttar Pradeshs Ghazipur, after remaining in hiding for 17 days. Ujala recalled that Sonam was accompanied by two young men outside the Varanasi railway station, where she came across her and enquired about the next train to Gorakhpur. It was around 10 pm that she enquired about the train to Gorakhpur, I told her that it was at 3 am, so she could even take a bus to Gorakhpur from the nearby inter-state bus terminal (ISBT), claimed Ujala. She further said how Sonam came and enquired about the bus to Gorakhpur at platform no. 7 while she was waiting for a bus to travel to Ghazipur. One of my close relatives had died, owing to which I had come down from Lucknow to travel to Ghazipur. When I reached the interstate bus terminal (ISBT) close to the Varanasi railway station, she (Sonam) also came there, she said. Both of them boarded the same bus to Gorakhpur via Ghazipur. Ujala recalled that Sonam had covered her face with a scarf and was wearing a T-shirt. She was seated adjacent to my seat. During the journey, she asked a male passenger seated next to her to lend his phone to make a call to someone, but he refused to oblige, Ujala said. Meghalaya honeymoon murder case: Sonam Raghuvanshi confesses to involvement in husband's murder That male passenger subsequently changed the seat, after which she (Sonam) shifted to my side, she added. Ujala spoke about how Sonam borrowed her phone, typed a number and later deleted it from the call list, before returning the phone to her. Sonam also requested her not to surf social media and watch the reports on the honeymoon case after realising that Ujala was reading reports on the case on social media. Throughout that short journey of around an hour and a half, she kept on asking how soon she could reach Gorakhpur. I saw her face for a few seconds, when she took water from my bottle and sprinkled it on her face after removing the scarf, said Ujala. Ujala got down near her village in Ghazipurs Saidpur area and Sonam went ahead on the journey to Gorakhpur. In the morning when I saw the TV channels, I saw the news about Raja Raghuvanshis missing wife Sonam Raghuvanshi resurfacing after 17 days at a dhaba in Nandganj in my native Ghazipur district, she said. That dhaba is around 10-15 km from my village. I immediately recognized her and figured she might have stepped down near the dhaba in the Nandganj area, she added. Ujala contacted Raja Raghuvanshis family in Indore and informed his brother Sachin Raghuvanshi, about the incident. Sachin Raghuvanshi sent pictures of four suspects (all young men), but it didnt match with those two youths who were present with her outside the Varanasi railway station on the night of May 8, said Ujala. Meghalaya honeymoon case: Husband murdered, wife arrested, family calls her innocent Ujala subsequently reported the incident to the Nandganj police station in Ghazipur district. Now the Meghalaya police are also in touch with me and Ive assured them of full cooperation, Ujala said. Importantly, the TNIE had reported on June 11 about the possibility of Sonam having boarded a bus to Gorakhpur from ISBT in Varanasi on June8 night and then deboarded the bus in Nandganj in Ghazipur district (around 65 km from Varanasi). The TNIE report had also mentioned that one of the fellow passengers in the bus having seen and interacted with her. Three days later, the young college student in Saidpur (Ghazipur) Ujala Yadav has made claims which are on the same lines, as was mentioned in the June 11 TNIE report. Sonam was traced after 17 days at the roadside dhaba in Ankushpur village in Ghazipur district of eastern UP at around 1.15 am on June 9 and borrowed the dhaba owner Sahil Yadavs phone to make a call to her elder brother Govind, who was searching for her in Meghalaya. He had subsequently informed the incident to cops in Meghalaya and Indore after which the Nandganj police rushed to the concerned dhaba and took Sonam to a one-stop center in Ghazipur city. Sonam had resurfaced at Nandganj (Ghazipur) on the intervening night of June 8-9, just a few hours after her alleged lover and family businesss employee Raj Kushwah and three henchmen were arrested from MP and UP in a joint operation by Meghalaya and Madhya Pradesh police. Sources in Indore police have told TNIE that while Raja and henchmen were being questioned, they had told Sonam will resurface in the next few hours. The north-eastern states East Khasi Hills district police superintendent Vivek Syiel told journalists in Shillong on June 12 that after getting husband Raja killed on May 23 by the three henchmen, Sonam had returned to Indore via bus, taxi and train on May 26 after travelling through five states and stayed in hiding in her home city till June 8. On June 8, she left by road in a vehicle arranged by her alleged lover Raj Kushwah to go to Siliguri, where according to their plan, she wouldve re-surfaced and then narrated the story of having been kidnapped in Meghalaya, police said. When the first arrest in the case, Akash Rajput, was made by plain-clothed cops in UPs Lalitpur district on June 8 evening, Raj (who wasnt nabbed by then) came to know from a local contact in Lalitpur about Akash having been abducted by unidentified men. Sensing something wrong, he immediately rang Sonam who was on way to Siliguri and asked her to re-surface as soon as possible and narrate the concocted kidnapping story, the East Khasi Hills district SP said. Was Sonam planning to go to Nepal? Both Gorakhpur in eastern UP and Siliguri in West Bengal are common transit points to Nepal. The distance from Gorakhpur to Sunauli-Bhairawa Indo-Nepal border is around 95 km (around 2 hours drive), while the distance between Siliguri and Indo-Nepal border at Kakarbhitta is just around 36 km. Criminals from India have often used Nepal to go underground, taking into account this latest claim by the Ghazipur (UP) girl about Sonam being in a hurry to go to Gorakhpur on June 8 night, possibility of Sonam also trying to escape from Gorakhpur or even Siliguri to Nepal cannot be totally ruled out, a source in MP police who was part of the June 8-9 joint operation by MP and Meghalaya police told this newspaper. Importantly, after talking to Sonam over phone on June 8-9 intervening night, her brother Govind Raghuvanshi too had come down to Ghazipur via Gorakhpur only.

Indus water will reach Ganganagar in three years, Pakistan will yearn for every drop: Amit Shah

BHOPAL: More than a month and a half after India put in abeyance the Indus Water Treaty in the wake of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the Indus water will flow till Ganganagar in three years, and Pakistan will yearn for every drop of water. Addressing the inaugural session of the three-day training camp for the BJP lawmakers of Madhya Pradesh in the states only hill station Pachmarhi on Saturday, Shah said, Today, we can see the acceptance of BJP from Panchayat to Parliament. BJP government is necessary for a well-organised, educated, developed country. Madhya Pradesh BJP has a glorious tradition. Late Kushabhau Thakre dedicated every moment of his life to the party and it has received the blessings of great leaders like Late Vijayaraje Scindia and Late Sundarlal Patwa. We are all party workers and the party has promoted us on the basis of our ability and capacity, and made us MPs and MLAs. The BJP was formed out of the Jana Sangh and is currently the largest political party. Weve governments in 18 states of the country. We have the most MPs, MLAs, district panchayats, municipalities, Janpad Panchayats and gram panchayats. Today, from Panchayat to Parliament, only BJP is visible. This development and expansion of the party is the result of the hard work and virtue of eight generations of workers. Only those who remain students till the last moment, who have the zeal to learn, can bring about change. Today, we can see the acceptance of BJP from Panchayat to Parliament. The BJP government is necessary for a well-organised, educated, developed country, Shah maintained. Importantly, the three-day training camp of the ruling BJPs lawmakers from MP is being attended by 165 MLAs, 29 Lok Sabha members and seven Rajya Sabha members. It will, among other aspects, focus on guiding the lawmakers on how to communicate in public and use social media prudently. Also, the new entrants in the party will be apprised of the partys culture and history. A similar camp had been held ahead of the 2023 assembly elections. The camp assumes particular significance as it will focus on guiding the partys lawmakers to stick to the party line, while making public statements. Its an issue which has become particularly relevant following the controversial remarks made by its ministers (deputy CM Jagdish Devda, cabinet minister Vijay Shah), ex-union minister Faggan Singh Kulaste and first-time MLA Narendra Prajapati last month about Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack.

MP: 4 Maoists, including 3 women, killed in encounter with security forces

Police said the Maoists were asked to surrender but they started firing and the security forces retaliated

Three women among four Naxalites killed in encounter with police in MP's Balaghat

BHOPAL: Four armed Maoist cadres, including three women were gunned down in two back-to-back encounters in the dense forests of Maoist-affected Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh on Saturday. The encounter occured in the Pachama Dadar forests near Laugur village under the Baihar police station area of the Balaghat district of southeastern MP during the ongoing cordon and search operation of the combined forces of CRPF, state polices special Hawk Force and Balaghat and Mandla district police. Three women Maoist cadres were killed in the exchange of fire amid heavy rains lashing the forests. As the search and combing teams of the police and central paramilitary force, including the CRPFs COBRA team, moved into dense forests, the bodies of the three women Maoists were recovered. As the security forces moved further into the forests, they spotted the hideout of the armed Maoist cadres. Seeing the security forces enter the forest, the armed LWE cadres started firing. In the retaliatory firing, a male outlaw was gunned down, while the others escaped from the spot, leaving the arms, ammunition and other belongings behind. All four slain Maoist cadres have yet to be identified. @narendramodi @AmitShah 2026 Dr Mohan Yadav (@DrMohanYadav51) June 14, 2025 The forests where the back-to-back encounters took place are the crossing points of two groups of the local CPI (Maoists) cadres, including the Kanha-Bhoramdev and Malajkhand Dalams. There were more than 20 armed outlaws present in the jungles when the back-to-back encounters took place. An SLR and a grenade launcher were initially recovered during the first encounter, but continued heavy rains are hampering the search operations further, special DG (anti naxal) of MP Police Pankaj Srivastava said. This is the third major anti-Maoists encounter in the jungles of Maoists affected Balaghat or Mandla districts in the last 115 days, which have led to the neutralisation of ten armed Maoist cadres, including nine women cadres. On February 19, four women cadres were gunned down in the jungles of Balaghat district. Later on April 2, two wanted women cadres, carrying bounty of Rs 14 lakh each were gunned down in the jungles of Mandla district.

NIA raids multiple locations in MP, Rajasthan in Hizb-ut-Tahrir terror conspiracy probe

NEW DELHI: The anti-terror federal probe agency NIA on Saturday conducted extensive searches at multiple locations in Madhya Pradeshs Bhopal and Rajasthans Jhalawar in a terror conspiracy case linked to the banned organisation, Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT), officials said. Three locations were extensively searched in Bhopal and two in Jhalawar as part of the agencys continuing probe into the activities of HuT and its members in the terror conspiracy case, a spokesperson in the NIA said. The officials said, the raiding teams have seized digital devices during the searches and those are being sent for forensic analysis. The case is part of the NIAs efforts to destroy various terrorist and radical networks and outfits trying to spread mayhem across the country, and the present case against HuT is related to the alleged conspiracy of radicalising and recruiting vulnerable Muslim youth. The youth were being motivated to spread violence in a bid to overthrow Indias democratically elected government and establish an Islamic State governed by Shariah law, the spokesperson alleged, adding that the investigation is ongoing. India last year designated Hizb-ut-Tahrir and all its fronts as errorist organisations under Section 35 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The government, while banning the outfit, had claimed that HuT aimed to establish an Islamic state and Caliphate globally, including in India, by overthrowing democratically elected governments through jihad and terrorist activities. The HuT was involved in radicalisation and motivation of gullible youth to join terrorist organisations, such as ISIS and raising funds for terror activities, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had then said. HuT, founded in 1953 in Jerusalem, is a global pan-Islamic Salafi movement. Its Palestinian branch includes hundreds of members in the West Bank. Their organisation has recently been limited to activities of supporters among students in universities. It views Jihad as an essential aspect of its vision and considers it an imperative duty aimed at combating disbelief until all submit to Islamic rule, the officials said.

Meghalaya honeymoon murder: Was money from benami account used to fund Raja Raghuvanshi's killers?

BHOPAL: Ongoing investigations into the Meghalaya honeymoon killing of Indore man Raja Raghuvanshi have brought to the fore the strong possibility that it may have been funded by money from a benami account. The three henchmen who executed the killing were all friends of the murder mastermind Raj Kushwaha. Not much money had been handed over to them. Raj had given them about Rs 50,000 for their expenditure out here (in Guwahati and Meghalaya). It has not yet come out whether any big consideration was there, given the fact that Raj doesnt come from a very affluent background. Well see whether there is any financial or property angle, Meghalaya East Khasi Hills district police superintendent Vivek Siyam had told journalists in Meghalaya on Thursday evening. According to a source who was part of the joint Madhya Pradesh and Meghalaya police operation which led to the arrest of four men, including Raj Kushwaha and his three friends from MP and UP on June 8-9, The money which was paid to the three henchmen, before they left for the North East from Indore on May 17 or May 18, was possibly sourced from an account held by Sonam Raghuvanshi's cousin Jitendra Raghuvanshi, but being operated by her. This raises the question as to whether the money came from a hawala channel. Sources in the police in the recent past had raised the possibility of Raj having possible links with players in the hawala business. The analysis of Rajs phone after his arrest on June 8 had revealed pictures of old Rs 10 notes, which raised the possibility of his association with the hawala business, particularly as such old notes are often used as proof for collecting money through such channels. According to sources privy to the investigations, it was not just one account opened in the name of Jitendra Raghuvanshi that was being used by Sonam. As many as four accounts including three savings and one current account were opened in Jitendras name, but used for transactions by Sonam and others. While denying any hawala links to their business, Sonams brother Govind Raghuvanshi had recently told journalists in Indore, Jitendra is a lower rung employee in our godown and also our cousin. The accounts are in his name, but the money which comes in the accounts is ours and is used to meet daily business expenditures. Jitendra Raghuvanshi hails from adjoining Dewas district and has been working with his cousins for more than a year. His mother Rama Bai, who lives in a two-room house in Dewas district, had recently told some journalists that he has not come home for the last six months and lives on rent in Indore. She had also claimed that bank accounts in Jitendras name had been opened by Sonam and her family members. Meghalaya Honeymoon murder: Sonam active conspirator, Raj Kushwaha mastermind A benami account is an account or property held under the name of someone who is not the real beneficiary. It is covered under the provisions of the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act. Sonam may have stayed in hiding in Indore at flat rented in name of Rajas killer Vishal Chauhan After the May 23 killing of Raja Raghuvanshi, his wife Sonam (who is now in Meghalaya police custody along with four others including mastermind Raj Kushwaha) had gone into hiding in Indore from May 26 to June 7. During the same time, Vishal Chauhan, who allegedly attacked Raja with the dao (the sharp-edged weapon) inflicting severe injuries on May 23, got a flat on rent in a newly constructed building near Indores Niranjanpur crossing on May 29 or 30. Vishal came on a two-wheeler with another man and got the formalities, including police verification from the local police station, done for getting the ground floor (G1) flat on rent on May 29 or 30 night. He handed over two months' deposit and one month running rent, before getting the keys of the flat, property broker Shillom James told journalists on Friday. Its possibly the same flat where Sonam remained in hiding between May 30 and June 7. During Thursdays press briefing in Meghalaya, the East Khasi Hills district police superintendent had said that Sonam had returned to Indore on May 26 after Rajas murder and went into hiding in her home city, before proceeding by road to Siliguri on June 8. But coming to know about the arrests in the case in Indore, she dramatically resurfaced in Ghazipur district of east UP and concocted her fake abduction story.

Birthday surprise turns fatal: Indore woman dies in Air India crash

BHOPAL: A Sikh family in Indore's Raj Mohalla locality is grappling with the tragic loss of their 29-year-old daughter-in-law, Harpreet Hora, an IT professional, who died in the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad on Thursday afternoon. Harpreet had advanced her travel plans from June 19 to June 12 to surprise her husband Roby Singh Hora on his birthday, which falls on June 16. Roby, an IT professional, is currently working in London. She was previously scheduled to fly to London on June 19, but later preponed her trip by a week to celebrate my nephews June 16 birthday, said Rajendra Singh Hora, an Indore resident and uncle of Roby Hora. Harpreet, originally from Ahmedabad, had married Roby in 2020. Her Indore-based cousin Darshit Hora, an entrepreneur, shared that, Harpreet was my first cousin and hailed from Ahmedabad. She was married to my distant cousin Roby in Indore in 2020. Roby has been working in London with a reputed company for 2-3 years and Harpreet too had worked there for some time in the past, before returning to India and working in Bengaluru. 'We are all devastated,' says PM Modi as he visits Air India crash site, meets injured at hospital She had been permitted by her employer company in Bengaluru to work from home, after which she had planned to work from London only, Darshit added. At the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, where the bodies of the crash victims have been taken, doctors have collected DNA samples from Harpreets sister, Simar, to help identify her remains. The doctors at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital have taken the DNA samples of Harpreets sister Simar on Thursday only. Simars DNA samples will be used to identify Harpreet's body from among the disfigured and charred bodies. The doctors have told her parents' family in Ahmedabad that it would take around 72 hours for identifying the body with the help of DNA matching, Darshit added. As the family waits for confirmation and the return of her body, the heart-breaking irony remains: Harpreet had merely wanted to be with her husband on his special day.

Meghalaya honeymoon murder: Three unanswered questions

BHOPAL/GUWAHATI: As the special investigation team (SIT) of Meghalaya police probing the May 23 honeymoon killing of Indore tourist Raja Raghuvanshi started quizzing the five arrested accused, including Rajas wife Sonam, there were a series of unanswered points that seemed to hold the key to investigations. A local court in Meghalaya capital Shillong on Wednesday sent Sonam Raghuvanshi and four others , including prime accused Raj Kushwah, to eight-day police remand . Though there were reports of Sonam confessing to the crime, the Meghalya Police urged the media to not jump to any conclusion. In a dramatic development, Sonams brother Govind visited the home of Raja on Wednesday and broke into tears after hugging his slain brother-in-laws mother Uma Raghuvanshi. One unanswered point seems to be Sonals trolley bag? Why was she carrying a trolley bag while going with Raja to the monsoon tourism hotspot Sohra (Cherrapunjee) on a short visit? Have you seen any couple carrying a trolley bag on a short trip riding a scooter? a source part of the ongoing probe told TNIE. Where are Sonams multiple cell-phones she was carrying during the trip? There were at least two iPhones, one of which seemed to have been destroyed after the alleged murder. All others are switched off. Their data hold the key, the source added. Mangalsutra in Meghalaya homestay helped crack honeymoon murder case: DGP Family defends Raj Kushwaha amid honeymoon horror accusations in Uttar Pradesh Raja rented a scooter to go from Shillong to Sohra (Cherrapunjee) on May 23. The scooter was found abandoned some distance from the place where he was murdered. Who took that scooter there? Also, CCTV grabs of nearby areas a short while after the killing show Sonam on a scooter (possibly the same rented scooter) probably accompanied by Vishal, the man who actually attacked Raja with the machete. They attacked Raja, but he resisted two of them, seeing the two attackers being overpowered by Raja, the third attacker Vishal attacked on his head with the Dao (machete), said the source. Earlier in the wee hours, Sonam was brought to the hill station and had a medical examination. Report of pregnancy test was negative, Meghalaya cops said. Brother wants death sentence Sonams brother Govind Raghuvanshi visited the home of Raja on Wednesday and said that the evidence clearly suggested that she had got it done.... she should get the death sentence .

Congress expels Digvijaya Singhs brother Laxman Singh for six years over anti-party activities

BHOPAL: Regularly embarrassing the grand old party with his public utterances over the last few years, former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijaya Singhs ex-MP and former MLA brother Laxman Singh finally got the axe from the Congress on Wednesday. He (Laxman Singh) has been expelled from the partys primary membership for six years with immediate effect by the partys national president, due to his anti-party activities, said an AICC official statement signed by member secretary of the partys disciplinary committee Tariq Anwar on Wednesday. While Singh (the five-times former MP from Rajgarh seat of central MP and one-time Congress MLA from Chachauda seat of Guna district) has repeatedly been embarrassing the party with his controversial public utterances, what has prompted the party to act against him, is his April 25 statement. On April 25, Singh had made controversial statements about the party's former president and current leader of the opposition Rahul Gandhi, Gandhis brother-in-law, Robert Vadra and the Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah. The ex-MP had said in his hometown Raghogarh (Guna), Rahul Gandhis brother-in-law's childish statement, how long will we tolerate it. Even Rahul Ji (Rahul Gandhi) needs to speak thoughtfully now, as he is the leader of opposition. Their nadaniyaan (foolishness) too are responsible for such statements. Attacking the Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah over the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, Singh had said, Those in power in J&K right now and have also run the government in the past are to be squarely blamed. Whoever has been in power there (J&K) has taken the support of elements who carried out the recent attack just to run the government. While Omar Abdullah is the current CM, his father too has been the J&K CM multiple times in the past. The J&K CM Omar Abdullah is hand in gloves with the terrorists. Ive already written to the Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge and also appealed to the LoP in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi to withdraw support from the National Conference government. Let the J&K government fall, it should be dismissed, Singh had added. Singh had further said, Im not afraid of making the candid statements, if the party (Congress) wants, it can oust me, but Ill continue to speak candidly. But the April 25 utterances werent the first time that Singh caused embarrassment to the Congress with his public statements. He has debunked his own brother Digvijaya Singhs continued opposition to EVMs in elections. In December 2023, he had questioned Rahul Gandhis leadership, saying that he wasnt a big leader as is portrayed by the media, but was merely an MP like any other MP. In September 2019, while a Congress government was in power in MP, Singh who was then a first-time Congress MLA from Chachoura (Guna) had gone against the party's official line, by supporting the abrogation of Article 370 by the Narendra Modi government. Just a month later, he had again caused embarrassment to the party by saying that Rahul Gandhi should apologize to the people of MP, for failing to fulfil the promise of waiving off outstanding loans of farmers within ten days of coming to power in the state. The same month in 2019, he had led a protest outside his MP brother Digvijaya Singhs house in Bhopal, in support of his demand to elevate his constituency Chachauda into a full-fledged district. Singh is five times former MP from Rajgarh seat of MP. While he won the seat four times (1994 to 1999) as Congress candidate, in 2004 elections he retained it as BJP nominee. In 2018, he won the Chachauda assembly seat of his home district Guna as Congress candidate by defeating sitting BJP MLA Mamta Meena, but lost to first time BJP nominee Priyanka Penchi in 2023. Importantly, during his day-long visit to Bhopal on June 3, the leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi had stated that some leaders in the party were working for the BJP. Congress has no dearth of talent who can defeat the BJP, but their hands are tied, particularly as their voices arent heard properly in the party organization. Weve the army to fight and die for the Congresss cause. But some leaders keep on making irresponsible utterances. Some speak out of frustration, while some other elements do it as they are also working for the BJP, Gandhi had said while launching the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan for rebuilding the partys organization in the BJP-ruled state on June 3.

MP exam fraud: Kingpin Amitabh Rawat's inter-state racket exposed

BHOPAL: One of the prime kingpins of the recently busted Madhya Pradesh Police Constable Recruitment Exam 2023 Aadhaar-manipulated multiple impersonation racket wasnt new to the world of government recruitment examination frauds. Carrying a Rs 10,000 bounty on his arrest announced by northern MPs Sheopur district police, government school teacher-turned-alleged exam fraudster Amitabh Rawat has been accused in the past as well in cases about examination frauds, not just in his home state of Madhya Pradesh, but also in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh. Rawat, whose wife is an elected village sarpanch in the native Morena district of MPs Gwalior-Chambal region, was last arrested in February 2024 from Jhansi by the UP STF and Jhansi Police in connection with the alleged leak of the UP Police Constable Recruitment Exam 2024. But it wasnt the first time that Rawat was arrested by any state police in connection with an alleged examination-related fraud case. Back in 2017, he was arrested in his native MP in connection with the multi-layered Vyapam scam case for arranging proxy candidates or solvers to take government recruitment exams in place of actual beneficiaries. After being lodged in a jail in Gwalior district until 2020, he was granted bail by the MP High Court. According to sources investigating the recently busted MP Police Constable Recruitment Aadhaar-manipulated impersonation racket, Rawat is believed to have been involved in frauds across several recruitment examinations in Madhya Pradesh using various cheating methods, including proxy candidates, bypassing biometric tests, paper leaks and screen sharing (in online exams), the official said. According to sources part of the ongoing probe, the 48-year-old Rawat allegedly headed one of three inter-state rackets that were engaged in the fraud in the 2023 MP Police Recruitment Exams written test. The other two rackets were headed by Morena district-based Shyam Rawat and Ashok Gurjar. Just like Amitabh Rawat, his caste man Shyam Rawat is also absconding and carries a similar Rs 10,000 reward on his arrest. All three rackets arranged solvers (proxy candidates) from Bihar and MP to take the written exam, which was held in 2023 on different dates across MP, in place of the actual candidates. This was done by replacing the picture and biometric (fingerprint) data in the actual candidates Aadhaar ID with the picture and fingerprints of the solver just before the written exam. The three rackets had links with dedicated Aadhaar ID manipulation operatives, who used login IDs and passwords of Aadhaar centres in MP, Delhi and UP, and controlled them remotely using desktop applications like AnyDesk. Two of the masterminds who worked with multiple Aadhaar centres in MP and outside included Surendra Kushwah who worked as the Aadhaar ID facilitator for the Amitabh Rawat-led racket and Kanhaiya Dhakad, who performed the same role for Shyam Rawats racket. While Surendra Kushwah (who has already been arrested) used login IDs and passwords of registered and authorised Aadhaar ID centres in Chhatarpur, Narsinghpur and other districts of MP, as well as Delhi, Kanhaiya Dhakad, who worked with Shyam Rawats racket, used the login credentials of Aadhaar centres particularly in the Gwalior-Chambal region of MP, especially Shivpuri district. Dhakad, who hails from MPs Shivpuri district, along with his family members, operated an Aadhaar registration and updating kiosk in Shivpuri between 2011 and 2023, and knew every nut and bolt related to Aadhaar IDs. After 2023, he began using login IDs and passwords of other registered Aadhaar registration centres in MP to assist the recruitment exam impersonation rackets, particularly the one headed by Amitabh Rawat. Dhakad, like the racketeer Amitabh Rawat, carried a reward of Rs 10,000 on arrest. He was arrested on Monday, making him the 12th man to be arrested in three cases of the MP Police Constable 2023 Recruitment Exam fraud. Were hopeful that his questioning in the coming days will lead to big disclosures, Sheopur district police superintendent Virendra Jain told TNIE on Tuesday. As per sources connected with the ongoing investigations, Amitabh Rawats racket, by working with Dhakad and aides, might have managed to get more than 50 candidates to pass the 2023 MP Police Constable Recruitment written exam and qualify for the physical proficiency test (PPT) conducted in 2024. In return, Rawat charged sums ranging from Rs 10-15 lakh from each candidate. The solvers who appeared in the written exam in place of actual candidates received Rs 1 to Rs 4 lakh per selected candidate, while Aadhaar manipulators like Dhakad received between Rs 10,000 to Rs 25,000 per candidate. So far, more than 20 cases have been registered in around ten districts of MP in connection with the Constable Recruitment Exam fraud, and over 25 individuals including actual beneficiary candidates, solvers, and Aadhaar centre operators have been arrested.

Seven arrested for allegedly slaughtering bull calf on Bakrid in Madhya Pradesh

BHOPAL: Seven men from the minority community were arrested on Sunday for allegedly sacrificing a bull calf on Bakrid near a hillock in Ambadochar village under Chainpur police station area in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone. Multiple packets containing 32 kgs of meat have been seized along with the sharp-edged weapons used to slaughter the calf. While confirming the incident, sub divisional officer police (SDOP-Bhikhangaon) Rakesh Arya said that the seven arrested accused have been booked under Sections of the Arms Act, BNS and MP Cow Slaughter Prohibition Act. The samples of the seized meat have been sent for laboratory testing, Arya said. All seven accused were produced in court and sent into judicial custody. As per the FIR, the accused had bought the calf two months back for sacrificing it on Bakrid, and as planned, it was sacrificed. Angered by the incident, activists of Hindu outfits have called for a bandh in Chainpur (Jhirniya) town of Khargone district on Monday. 'More mutton sold on Holi' Meanwhile, the MP Mahila Congresss working president Noori Khan has claimed that the sale of mutton shoots up from 4000 quintal to 20,000 quintal in the state on Hindu festival Holi. While listing temples where goats are sacrificed, she questioned why only Muslims are targeted on slaughter of animals and consumption of meat. She also demanded that installation of CCTV cameras on meat shops and presentation of valid ID proofs by customers for buying meat be made compulsory in MP.

How Aadhaar fudging aided Madhya Pradesh cop recruitment scam

BHOPAL: Paliganj town 50 km from the Bihar capital is in news nearly a thousand km away in Madhya Pradesh, thanks to one of its government school teachers, who has emerged as the key solver of an inter-state Aadhaar ID manipulation-enabled examination racket, which helped candidates from the Gwalior-Chambal region crack the 2023 MP Police Constable Recruitment Exam. Ranjan Kumar Gupta, a school teacher from Paliganj appeared in place of ten candidates, including one of the merit holders of the exam who secured 87 out of 100 marks. Besides Gupta, who is now in police custody in MPs Sheopur district, at least five more solvers from the same eastern state also appeared through the same modus operandi for dozens of other candidates in MP, in return for Rs 1 lakh to Rs 4 lakh subject to passing of the candidate. Another solver from Bihars Gaya district, Amrendra Singh Bahubali appeared for eight candidates, for Rs 1 lakh each. He is now in police custody in Alirajpur district, following the arrest of Ramrup Gurjar, the candidate from MPs Gwalior-Chambal region who managed to clear the written test by making Amrendra appear in his place and subsequently cracked the 2024 physical proficiency test on his own, to finally be selected for the constables job. The solvers from Bihar travelled between Patna and MP by air on tickets booked by the examinations main rackets mastermind Amitabh Rawat and aides in Gwalior-Chambal region. They were comforted in big hotels and travelled to examination centres across MP in snazzy cars. The racket mastermind and aides also took special care of the fun and frolic demanded by the solvers from Bihar during their stay in MP , a police officer forming a key part of the ongoing probe told this newspaper. Eyeing to earn big (around `40 lakh after appearing for ten candidates) Ranjan now feels cheated by the mastermind of the racket Morena district-based Amitabh Rawat who is also a school teacher, and a village sarpanchs husband. Carrying a Rs 10,000 reward on his arrest, Rawat, who is now on the run, made Ranjan appear for ten candidates, but paid him just Rs 4 lakh. Ranjan, however, is confident that he wouldnt have failed in getting less than 6-7 candidates pass the 2023 written test to qualify for the 2024 physical proficiency test. The candidates for whom he appeared, included at least three close relatives of the rackets mastermind Amitabh Rawat. Just like us, Ranjan too is keenly awaiting Rawats arrest, but for different reasons, the police officer confided. While Rawat , who is a Meena caste strongman in Morena, ran the biggest racket, smaller rackets run by some other caste strongmen (including Thakurs and Gurjars) were also active in other districts of the same northern MP region.

In joint operation, cops from MP, UP rescue 14-year-old tribal girl, nab kidnapper who took her 900 km away

BHOPAL: A 14-year-old tribal girl who was kidnapped by a 22-year-old man from western Madhya Pradeshs Jhabua district was rescued from a village 900 km away in Uttar Pradeshs Kanpur Dehat district following a 16-hour police operation. Two years back, 20-year-old Govind Naik, who hails from Auraiya district of central UP, came to Ranapur town of western MPs Jhabua district, along with a group of street-side garment sellers and started living and trading there. He slowly developed a friendship with a 12-year-old tribal girl who lived in the same locality, where Govind lived on rent. Over a period of two years, the bond between Govind and the tribal girl deepened and finally he took her away on May 31. By the time, the girls family realized that it was Govind who had taken her away, the duo had already reached Indore (150 km from Jhabua) and boarded a bus to Gwalior. The matter was reported by the girls family to the Jhabua district police in the afternoon, after which two teams were formed and the hunt for the kidnapped girl started at around 4 pm and a case of kidnapping registered at Ranapur police station. We formed two police teams and started probing the matter. Knowing well that we would question his key contacts, Govind kept on telling them over phone that he was bound for Gujarat, despite being actually on the way to his home state UP. He kept telling his contacts that he was moving from Dahod to Godhra in Gujarat. Using sophisticated scientific investigation tools, the police tracked his live location in MPs Guna district, which confirmed that he was headed to UP, a senior Jhabua district police officer told TNIE on Saturday. Both teams of the Jhabua police left to nab Govind and rescue the girl at 4 pm, but they were almost six-and-a-half hours behind him. After alighting from the bus, Govind took the girl in another hired vehicle to adjoining UP, but instead of going to his home district, he went to Kanpur Dehat district, in the same central UP region, where his sister lives. While the hunt for the kidnapped girl went on, unmindful that his location was being continuously updated by the Jhabua district police to their two teams, Govind continued to tell his contacts about travelling further into Gujarat for some important work. He ultimately reached his sisters village in Kanpur Dehat on May 31 and stayed there that night. With his location getting stabilized at one point, the Jhabua police from MP contacted their counterparts in central UPs Kanpur Dehat who rescued the girl from the kidnappers sisters village. Govind, however, managed to escape, but was nabbed a few hours later from a neighbouring village, ultimately ending a successful police operation which started at 4 pm on May 31 and ended at around 8 am on June 1. The accused kept on telling his contacts that he was headed to Gujarat, just to hoodwink us, but the police turned much smarter and using the latest scientific and digital technology, kept on tracking his movement. It was subsequently with the help of UP police that the kidnapped girl was successfully rescued and the kidnapper too tracked and arrested, Madhya Pradeshs Jhabua district police superintendent Padam Vilochan Shukla said. The rescued girl was subsequently brought back safely to her home in Ranapur (Jhabua) and reunited with her family. The arrested kidnapper is being questioned by police to ascertain whether he has a criminal past or is linked to any organized gang. The cops are also probing the possibility of him being part of a girl trafficking racket.

Gujarat cops arrest four from 'Khekda gang' in connection with metro cable thefts

AHMEDABAD: In a high-stakes crackdown, Gujarat's Gandhinagar Local Crime Branch has dismantled the notorious 'Khekda Gang'a professional cable theft syndicate behind sweeping metro heists across India. The gang operated with surgical precision across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Delhi, and Madhya Pradesh, looting high-value metro cables under the radar. With 35 major thefts already traced to them, the gang had turned metro lines into a lucrative crime corridor. In a decisive strike, police have arrested four key operatives, while 11 gang members remain at large, triggering a nationwide manhunt. According to official police records, the gang's latest strike occurred on the night of June 2, 2025, during an IPL match, when they stole 700 meters of cable worth Rs 17.85 lakh near the old Koba Metro station in Gandhinagar. Exploiting the deserted stretch near the Infocity Post Office area between 2 and 3 am, the thieves scaled trees and metro pillars to execute the high-voltage heist. Speaking to the media in Gandhinagar, SP Ravi Teja Wasam Shett said: Following the incident, police deployed technical surveillance and relied on informants to track the suspects to a rented house in Kalol, where the stolen cables were being processed. Acting swiftly, the Crime Branch raided the house and arrested Musharraf Irshad Mulejat, Rashid Ishaq Ismail Dhobi, Rashid Abdul Aziz Shabbir Ansari, and Irshad Majeed Allamehar Malik. Inside, they found cables stripped for copper, packed and ready for shipment to Delhi by train. During interrogation, the arrested men confessed to operating in 14 metro locations in Delhi, 12 in Pune, 6 in Panvel (Navi Mumbai), and several more in Bhopal and Indore. Their method was chillingly systematic: they would travel to cities with active metro lines, rent hotel rooms near stations, book vehicles via JustDial, and secure safehouses through local brokers. Once the logistics were set, the gang would identify metro bridge pillars near trees or walls, climb using ropes, and cut the heavy-duty cables with industrial cutters. They then stripped the plastic or rubber coating, extracted the copper wiring, packed it, and sent it via train from Ahmedabad's Kalupur station to Delhi. There, the metal was sold through a network of illegal dealers. Notably, Raja Qureshi, who did not physically participate in the Ahmedabad theft, acted as a receiver, arranging transport and resale of stolen goods while funding other gang operations. The police have registered the case under Sections 35(1)(e) and 106(1) of Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita, and further investigation is underway to trace the absconding members and dismantle the broader syndicate. With these arrests, police believe they have delivered a significant blow to one of India's most organised metro cable theft rings.

'Dont like girls wearing skimpy clothes': MP minister stirs new controversy with sexist remark

BHOPAL: Senior Madhya Pradesh minister and former BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya has sparked a new controversy -- this time by saying, I dont like girls who wear skimpy clothes. Speaking at a public event in Indore, Vijayvargiya, who is also a former mayor of the city, said, In the West, a woman wearing fewer clothes is considered beautiful. I don't agree with that. In India, we consider a girl beautiful when she dresses well, wears jewellery, and adorns herself gracefully. I dont like women in revealing dresses Girls in inappropriate clothes resemble Shurpanakha Chocolaty faces These are all remarks by the same deplorable individual, @BJP4India leader and MP Cabinet Minister, Kailash Vijayvargiya. He repeatedly makes MISOGYNISTIC, pic.twitter.com/JiXYfaXnz4 All India Trinamool Congress (@AITCofficial) June 5, 2025 While drawing parallels between short speeches and short dresses, the state's Urban Development and Housing Minister said, In western countries, its said that a woman who wears fewer clothes is considered very beautiful and a leader who speaks less is considered good. I don't believe in that. I believe a woman is a form of the goddess. She should wear nice clothes. I don't find women in short clothes attractive. Sometimes girls come to take selfies with me. I tell them 'Beta, come in proper clothes next time, then we'll take a photo, he added. This is not the first time Vijayvargiya has made controversial statements about women in public. At a Hanuman Jayanti event in Indore in 2022, he had said, I won't lie on Hanuman Jayanti... but girls these days wear such filthy clothes... We call women goddesses, but they don't appear that way... They look like Shurpanakha (a demoness from Hindu mythology). God has given you a beautiful body, at least wear decent clothes. Teach your children values. Badly dressed girls look like Shurpanakha: BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya The senior Madhya Pradesh minister has also attracted criticism in the past over remarks on a range of issues. In 2022, amid protests against the Modi governments Agnipath scheme, he said he would prioritise hiring Agniveers for security arrangements at the party office. If I've to hire the services of professionals for security arrangements at the BJP office, I'll accord priority to Agniveers. In 2020, addressing a seminar in Indore in support of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, Vijayvargiya stirred controversy by alleging that some labourers working at his house were Bangladeshis because they only ate poha . The BJP leader also claimed that heightened security around him was due to a Bangladeshi terrorist allegedly conducting reconnaissance for over a year and a half. In August last year, Vijayvargiya again courted controversy by claiming that India could witness civil war in 30 years due to rapid demographic changes. I recently met a retired military officer, who told me that there will be a civil war in the country after 30 years. He said that 30 years from now, us (Hindus) wont be able to live here, keeping in mind the fast demographic changes happening in the country. Weve to think over it seriously and work on making the word Hindu strong urgently. Vijayvargiyas civil war remark triggers uproar

Tribal killer animal found dead in MP dist

BHOPAL: Has the rabid animal whose single-day biting spree had led to the deaths of six people within 11 days, actually died in Barwani district of southwest Madhya Pradesh? If the state forest department is to be believed, then a jackal whose carcass was found in a dry well outside Limbai village on Thursday, is the same animal which bit 17 people within a few hours on May 5 in the same village leading to the death of two women and four men between May 3 and June 2. Weve been probing the serial bites since May 5, when the 17 villagers were bitten by the animal. The statements of eyewitnesses and victims indicate that it was jackal. The jackal whose carcass has been found in the dry well outside Limbai village, is the same one, particularly as its hind legs are tied. Further probe revealed that villagers, after the May 5 attack, spotted the jackal and killed it. But out of fear of getting penalised for killing a wild animal, they didnt report about spotting and killing it, DFO-Barwani Ashish Bansod said, adding, Primary examination of the carcass suggests its around 25-30 days old, which matches the timing of the serial bites.

Rahul Gandhis 'lame horses' remark 'insensitive', 'legally objectionable', says champion para swimmer

BHOPAL: Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has drawn flak for his lame horses remark made at the Madhya Pradesh Congress convention in Bhopal on Tuesday. In a post on social media platform X on Thursday, international para swimmer and Padma Shri awardee Satendra Singh Lohiya voiced his strong objection to the remark by Gandhi, saying it was not only 'insensitive' but also 'legally objectionable'. Hinting at minimising the role of inactive and jaded leaders and promoting active and committed ones in the state, Gandhi had said, We must identify and segregate race horses, wedding horses and lame horses. The race horses will be promoted, the wedding horses will be set aside for 'weddings', while the time has come for the lame horses to retire. In response, Lohiya wrote, Im an international level para swimmer and a Divyang (specially-abled) and also a responsible citizen of the country. In a recent public statement in Bhopal, he (Gandhi) used the word langda, which hurt me a lot. The word is not only insensitive, but according to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016, this terminology has been abolished and is legally considered objectionable. This Act was passed by the Parliament with the purpose of giving Divyangjan a place of respect and dignity in the society. We were given a positive word like Divyang by the PM Narendra Modi, which reflects our capabilities, not our challenges. In such a situation when the country hears such an insensitive word from a national leader, it hurts the sentiments of not just one person, but the entire Divyang community, Lohiya posted. I dont know in which context he (Gandhi) used the word, but I request him to clarify on this matter and avoid using such language in future, keeping in mind the sentiments of specially-abled people. He is requested to take this matter seriously and give an appropriate response, respecting the sentiments of Divyang people of the country, he added in the post. 'Lame horses need to retire': Rahul Gandhi launches campaign to revive Congress in BJP-ruled MP Later in the day, Lohiya also confirmed that he was requested by some of his contacts (local Congress leaders) to remove the post, but said he wont do it till Rahul Gandhi issues a clarification about the remark. Im not a politician, Im an international para swimmer, who has dedicated two decades of life to swimming and the cause of the Divyang people. Not just Rahul Gandhi, I too have taken out a yatra for the cause of Divyangs from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. I cant take any insults against Divyangs, Lohiya told journalists on Thursday. The Indore-based Lohiya, who hails from Bhind district of Gwalior-Chambal region, became the first para swimmer in 2018 to successfully cross the English Channel. Having participated in seven national and three international para swimming meets, Lohiya has won 20 medals, including five golds. He was honoured with the prestigious Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award in 2020 and four years later awarded the Padmashri. Lohiyas social media post expressing displeasure with the Rae Bareli MPs remark came a day after the Divyang Adhikar Mahasangh, a Jaipur-based advocacy group, formally registered a protest over Gandhis remark and wrote to the chief commissioner for persons with disabilities, government of India and the chief election commissioner. In a related development, Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, during a visit to his home city Gwalior on Thursday, slammed Gandhi for using a term allegedly demeaning to people with disabilities (PwDs) and reminded him of how Prime Minister Narendra Modi had coined the word 'divyangjan' for them.

Rabid jackal whose bites killed six in MP dead, claims forest dept; villagers not convinced, say it's a hyena

BHOPAL: Has the rabid animal that bit 17 people in a single day, leading to the deaths of six, died in Barwani district of southwestern Madhya Pradesh? If the state forest department is to be believed, a jackal whose carcass was found in a dry well outside Limbai village on Thursday is the same animal whose bites on May 5 caused the deaths of two women and four men later. Weve been probing the serial bites right since May 5, when the 17 villagers were bitten by the animal in Limbai. The statements of those who either saw the animal or were the victims of its attack, indicate that it was jackal. The jackal whose carcass has been found in the dry well outside Limbai village, is the same one, particularly as its hind legs are tied. Further probe revealed that villagers, after the May 5 attack, spotted the jackal and killed it. But out of fear of getting penalized as per law for killing a wild animal, they didnt report it, DFO-Barwani Ashish Bansod said. The 17 people were bitten by the animal between 4 am and 5 am on May 5, but since then there havent been any such incidents. The primary examination of the jackals carcass suggests that its around 25-30 days old, which matches with the timing of the serial bites. Still our vets are taking samples from the carcasss jaw to establish whether it was the same rabies-infected animal or not. As a precautionary measure, the patrolling by our staff in and around the village will continue and weve also kept the cages still in place to rule out whether more such animals are there or not, Bansod added. The residents of Limbai village, however, differ with the DFOs claim. Its not the same animal which bit 17 people, most of them in their sleep. What weve been told by the victims and others who saw that animal on May 5 is that it wasnt a jackal, but instead a hyena. There are still hyenas being sighted in Limbai and neighbouring villages. Until the report of the samples taken from the dead jackal is out, we wont buy the claim made by the forest department, the village sarpanchs representative Rakesh Jarmade said. Another Limbai village resident Parasram Khanna concurred with Rakesh. Its not the same animal as that animal was certainly a hyena. The forest department personnel are trying to declare the carcass as that of the attacker animal, just to rid themselves of the onerous task of tracking and capturing the rabid animal, which is a hyena. Not ready to buy the forest department claim, residents are maintaining a vigil, patrolling in the village and neighbouring areas in the nocturnal hours. Back on May 5, a mysterious rabid animal had bitten 17 villagers sleeping outside their house or busy in early morning chores between 4 am and 5 am in Limbai village in Rajpur block of Barwani district. The villagers bitten by the animal were administered the required anti-rabies vaccines as per the necessary medical protocols, but six of them died in 11 days (between May 23 and June 2). With the villagers having died even after being administered the anti-rabies vaccine, the Barwani district collector Guncha Sanobar ordered that the samples of anti-rabies vaccines be sent for efficacy testing to the designated national drug testing lab in Kasauli (Himachal Pradesh). The administration has already announced compensation of Rs 8 lakh each to the six bereaved families.

BJP slams Rahul Gandhi over Narender, surrender swipe, calls him self-styled supreme leader

NEW DELHI: The BJP on Wednesday accused Rahul Gandhi of insulting the armed forces with his surrender barb at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that it amounted to undermining the success of Operation Sindoor. BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said the Congress leader has surpassed even the Pakistani army chief, its prime minister and terrorist masterminds based there in speaking in support of the neighbouring country, and alleged that his jibes reflect a sick and dangerous mindset. Citing a string of historical developments on the Congress watch, from Pakistan occupying part of Indian territory to Gandhi himself lamenting the western indifference to alleged democratic slide in India under the Modi government, he said history is full of such stories of surrender from the Nehru-Gandhi family and lauded Prime Minister Modi as the lion of mother India. He noted controversial comments of various leaders of opposition INDIA bloc, which met on Tuesday and demanded a special session of Parliament following Operation Sindoor, and claimed it has been unmasked. INDIA is in their name but Pakistan is in their heart, he added. If the Congress leader made these remarks on his own, then it raises a serious question over his loyalty, he said, adding that Gandhi should consider changing advisers if they were behind it. Trivedi also called Rahul a self-proclaimed, self-styled, supreme leader. By making extremely cheap, low-level statements, the self-proclaimed, self-styled, supreme leader, the Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, showed the world that even after becoming the LoP, he lacked the seriousness and maturity that the post requires, Trivedi said. He also criticised Gandhi for comparing the armys valour and the officers brief on Operation Sindoors success with surrender. It showed how sick and dangerous his mentality had become, the BJP MP added. #WATCH | Delhi | On Lok Sabha LoP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's statement, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi says, By making extremely cheap, low-level statements, the self-proclaimed, self-styled, supreme leader, the leader of opposition, Rahul Gandhi, is telling the world that even pic.twitter.com/GQmjiRGk7P ANI (@ANI) June 4, 2025 Gandhi had on Tuesday alleged at a Congress event in Bhopal that Modi surrendered after a call from US President Donald Trump during the India-Pakistan military conflict. A call came from Trump and Narendra ji immediately surrendered - history is a witness, this is the character of BJP-RSS, they always bow down, he had said. Hitting back, Trivedi said Gandhi was already making headlines in Pakistani media and its parliament, and is now saying something even Pakistani establishment and terrorists based there had not said. The Indian government has already rejected Trump's claim of mediation between India and Pakistan to stop military actions from both sides, Trivedi said and took a swipe at the US president in an apparent reference to his penchant for making wild claims. The BJP spokesperson referred to Trump posting the conspiracy theory that his predecessor Joe Biden was killed in 2020 and replaced by a robotic clone. Trivedi dubbed Gandhi as Rahul Munir and Rahul Sharif, using the surnames of the Pakistani army chief and prime minister for his alleged undermining of India's prestige and the valour of its armed forces.

'Lame horses need to retire': Rahul Gandhi launches campaign to revive Congress in BJP-ruled MP

BHOPAL: Demanding that 'lame horses' in the Madhya Pradesh Congress retire, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi launched the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan (Organisation Rejuvenation Campaign) on Tuesday to rebuild the party in the BJP-ruled state. Congress has no dearth of talent who can defeat the BJP, but their hands are tied, particularly as their voices arent heard properly in the party organization. Weve an army to fight and die for the Congresss cause. But some leaders keep on making irresponsible utterances. Some speak out of frustration, while some other elements do it as they are also working for the BJP, Gandhi said while addressing the state party convention after launching the Organization Rejuvenation Campaign in Bhopal. He hinted at minimising the role of inactive and jaded leaders and promoting the most active, young and committed ones in the partys organization in the state, where it suffered two successive drubbings in the 2023 assembly and 2024 national elections. The time has come to identify and segregate race, marriage and lame horses. The race horses will be promoted and the marriage horses will be set aside for marriages, he said. The lame horses need to retire now, have fodder, water and relax and stop disturbing the race horses. If they continue disturbing, action is imminent, Gandhi said in a clear warning to non-performing and jaded leaders, particularly the saboteurs. Detailing the campaign which has already been launched in Gujarat, he said, Through the campaign, the partys rebuilding is being started from individual district level. The exercise in Gujarat has led to two lists in each district -- one of potential district party chiefs and the other of existing district party presidents. Many existing district party chiefs were actually assistants of senior leaders, while the other list contained leaders for the future. We will replicate the same process in MP also. Gandhis statements assumed significance due to statements by some party leaders, including state leader of opposition Umang Singhar and ex-minister PC Sharma, about the presence of saboteurs working for the BJP within the party. Also, it could be a clear-cut warning to leaders like ex-MP and former MLA Laxman Singh (ex-CM Digvijaya Singh) who has been regularly embarrassing the party by speaking against its official line. This campaign will start from district level in the first phase based on the report submitted by the AICC observers for individual districts. Based on that report, 55 leaders (district chiefs of 55 districts) will be chosen for the party's and MPs future. In the subsequent phases, the same process will be initiated to select the best leaders at individual block, village panchayat and local body level, he said. After being selected as new district party committee chiefs, the new leaders performance will be measured objectively on various counts, including increase in partys vote in future elections (local bodies, assembly and parliamentary polls), their ability to fight on ground for deprived sections and Congress ideology and take everyone, particularly young leaders and workers along, rather than furthering their own politics, Gandhi maintained. He, however, added that accountability cannot come without power. After being chosen to head the party in districts, the new district party chiefs will have a voice in the selection of candidates for local bodies, assembly and national elections. The doors of the partys top leadership in Delhi will always be open to them, Gandhi said, clearly hinting towards actual decentralization of power in the state partys organization to individual district level. Before addressing the state party convention, Gandhi chaired a series of meetings with the state partys political affairs committee (PAC), MLAs and ex-MPs, 61 AICC observers appointed by the party for the state-wide campaign in each district and AICC and PCC delegates. In the meeting with MLAs and ex-MPs, an MLA from Rewa district Abhay Mishra (who was previously in the BJP) reportedly raised the issue of dearth of leaders in the party at the state level. Gandhi responded by saying, I can name at least 10 leaders sitting here, who have the potential to lead the party in the state. Briefing about the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan after Gandhis departure from Bhopal, the state party leadership, including party chief Jitu Patwari and AICC general secretary in-charge Harish Chaudhary, said, AICC has sent to MP 61 observers under the campaign, which was launched on pilot scale in Gujarat. The observers will work from June 10 to June 30, when each of them joined by three state party leaders will spend at least seven days in one district. Based on their deliberations with local party leaders, workers and commoners, they will send reports to the party leadership, based on which new district party chiefs will be chosen. The same experiment will be replicated in subsequent phases in individual assembly segments till gram panchayat and local ward level.

'Trump said surrender, Modi said yes sir: Rahul targets PM over handling of Indo-Pak standoff

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of having surrendered after a call with US President Donald Trump, amid Washingtons claim of brokering a truce between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor . Addressing the Congress Workers Convention in Bhopal, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said, A call came from Trump and Narendra ji immediately surrendered; history is witness to this. This is the character of BJP-RSS; they always bow down. Rahul stated that India broke Pakistan in 1971 despite America's threat. Drawing a contrast with past Congress leadership, he invoked former PM Indira Gandhi's actions during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, saying, There was a time in 1971, when Americas Seventh Fleet had come, but Indira Gandhi ji had said, 'I will do what I have to do'. The Congress Party does not surrender. Gandhiji, Nehruji, Sardar Patelji these are not people who surrender, but people who fight against superpowers, he added. surrender - , BJP-RSS character , 1971 Superpowers , pic.twitter.com/RhdQWdRBtV Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) June 3, 2025 Doubling down his attack on the BJP, Rahul said, I know the BJP-RSS people. If you put even a little pressure and give them just a slight push, they run away out of fear. Donald Trump called from there and said Narender surrender. Here Narendra Modi followed Trumps gesture by saying Yes Sir, he claimed. Notably, Trump has continued to claim that American intervention helped avert a potential nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan , after both countries agreed to a ceasefire following a series of clashes. India has consistently rejected the claim , stating that neither the US nor its threat of tariffs played any role in the ceasefire talks with Pakistan. From the time Operation Sindoor commenced on May 7 till the time of cessation on May 10, there was conversation between India and the US. But the issue of tariffs never came up in these discussions, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at the weekly press briefing on May 29. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had also clarified that India and Pakistan were very, very far away from a nuclear conflict during their recent clashes. In an interview to German newspaper FAZ , Jaishankar, in an apparent criticism of the West, said there has been a tendency to link everything in our part of the world to a uclear problem.

Rahul Gandhi paying floral tribute to former PM Indira Gandhi in Bhopal without removing his shoes triggers controversy

BHOPAL: Controversy erupted in Madhya Pradesh after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi offered floral tributes to the statue and portrait of former Prime Minister and his grandmother, Indira Gandhi, at Congress HQ in Bhopal without taking off his shoes. The incident took place just before the Leader of Opposition chaired series of meetings to launch the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan to rebuild the grand old Congress party in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh. Two ruling BJP leaders, including Madhya Pradesh CM Dr Mohan Yadav and state party spokesperson Dr Hitesh Bajpai, took a dig at Gandhi for offering floral tributes without taking off his shoes. Bajpai shared the video on the social media platform X in which Gandhi was seen offering tributes without removing his shoes. ? @RahulGandhi ? ? ! @Anurag_Dwary @DrMohanYadav51 pic.twitter.com/xUsbL56uzd Dr.Hitesh Bajpai MBBS, MD (@drhiteshbajpai) June 3, 2025 However, a video shared by State Congress chief and former MP minister Jitu Patwari shows Rahul taking off his shoes before offering tributes to the Late PM. CM Mohan Yadav said, The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha is here, everyone is welcomed here in a democracy. But offering floral tributes to his grandmother without even taking off his shoes did not go down well. It isn't in line with our tradition and culture. Reacting to the CMs remark, the state Congresss media wing head Mukesh Nayak said, We are not people who do too many rituals... throwing dust in the eyes in the name of sanskar, promoting religious fanaticism in the country in the name of sanskar, making fake people wear fake clothes and stand in the public in the name of sanskar... such times have ended in India. The public is fed up with it, Now there is only one thing: to create an egalitarian society and to think about everyone's development by keeping an inclusive approach. This is the ideology of Congress. Notably, the Congress party has suffered successive drubbings in the 2023 assembly and 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Madhya Pradesh is the second BJP-ruled state after Gujarat, where the Congress is launching the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan. Rahul Gandhi will hold a series of meetings with the state partys Political Affairs Committee (PAC), the MLAs and ex-MPs and the observers appointed for individual districts under the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan. He will also address the partys functionaries and workers from across the State, before leaving from Bhopal in the evening.

Congress begins internal cleanup in Madhya Pradesh to revive party structure

BHOPAL: Reeling from consecutive defeats in the 2023 Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections and the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the Congress is preparing for a major internal shake-up in Madhya Pradesh. As part of its upcoming organisational overhaul, the party plans to identify and expel internal saboteurs, or Bhitarghatis , accused of covertly aiding the ruling BJP. The initiative will form a core part of the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan, to be launched by senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Bhopal on June 3. An important aspect of the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan to be launched by Rahul Gandhi on June 3, will be to identify the Bhitarghatis (saboteurs) who have been damaging the party. Once identified till the development block level, such saboteurs will be shown the way out of the party, said Leader of Opposition and former minister Umang Singhar. He further emphasized that the Congress high command is serious about cleaning house. Our leader Rahul Gandhi has already made it clear that all those who, while being in the Congress, have been working against the party need to be identified and ousted... Only those who are committed to the party will now be promoted, Singhar added. The comments follow recent allegations from former Congress state vice president Damodar Yadav, who claimed that the BJP has cultivated sleeper cells within the Congress. According to Yadav, these elements played a significant role in the partys poor performance during the 2023 assembly elections. Rahul Gandhi will be in Bhopal on Tuesday to formally launch the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan in Madhya Pradeshtwo months after its rollout in Gujarat, another BJP-ruled state. During his visit, Gandhi is expected to hold at least five strategic meetings with various party wings. He will hold meetings with members of the state partys Political Affairs Committee (PAC), current MLAs and former MPs, AICC and PCC delegates/members, the 50 leaders from other states appointed as observers for each district under the campaign, and also chair a meeting of the state executive, a senior MP Congress leader told TNIE . As part of the campaign, 50 senior Congress leaders from states including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Rajasthan have been appointed as central observers. Each will oversee organisational restructuring in one Madhya Pradesh district, working in coordination with 34 local observers. These teams will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the partys grassroots network, identifying both weaknesses and potential. Based on these findings, efforts will be made to rebuild the Congress organization from the primary worker level upward in each district and development block. The party has confirmed that the Abhiyan will be an ongoing effort. A pilot phase of the initiative is already underway in Vidisha district, a traditional BJP stronghold that includes assembly segments represented by Union Agriculture Minister and former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. In Vidisha, 100150 specially trained Congress workers are living in villages, holding detailed discussions to understand local challenges and strategise revival efforts. The 15-day field exercise will culminate in a comprehensive report to be submitted to the partys state and central leadership. The Congress hopes that this grassroots-centred revamp, combined with a purge of disloyal elements, will help revive its fortunes in Madhya Pradesh ahead of future electoral battles.

No entry for Muslims at the gym: Bhopal sub-inspector's remarks trigger row

BHOPAL: A sub-inspector of the Madhya Pradesh police has been removed from active duty and attached to police lines after a video surfaced showing him instructing a gym owner to bar Muslim individuals from entering the premises. The 40-second clip, now widely shared on social media, shows Sub-Inspector Dinesh Sharma, posted at Ayodhya Nagar police station in Bhopal, seated with Bajrang Dal activists at a private gym. In the video, Sharma is heard telling the gym owner, Let me tell you clearly, no Muslim will come here (to the gym), neither for imparting training nor getting trained. Following the videos circulation, Bhopal polices Additional DCP Mahavir Singh confirmed that an internal inquiry has been initiated. An internal probe has been ordered and the concerned sub-inspector who was posted at Ayodhya Nagar police station now stands attached to the police line, Singh said. The incident is believed to have occurred several days ago when Bajrang Dal activists visited the gym in Ayodhya Nagar, objecting to the presence of Muslim trainers. Police were called to the scene to manage the situation, during which the video was reportedly recorded. The Bajrang Dals opposition to Muslim trainers has extended beyond Bhopal, with similar activities reported in Indore, Madhya Pradeshs largest city. Their campaign gained momentum following the arrest of Mohsin Khan, a shooting coach accused of running an illegal shooting academy and allegedly involved in cases of rape and molestation. In another case fueling tensions, a 40-year-old man, Dinesh Mishracoincidentally sharing a name with the sub-inspector but unrelatedallegedly attempted suicide in Indore. In his suicide note, he blamed his wife and her Muslim gym trainer for destroying his life. The situation in Bhopal has further escalated with controversial remarks from newly elected BJP MP and former mayor Alok Sharma. Addressing supporters on Sunday, Sharma announced plans to compile a list of gyms employing Muslim trainers and stated that female clients should only be trained by female instructors. The list will soon be handed over to the police, which will then do its job. Madhya Pradesh has Dr Mohan Yadavs government, which will not allow Love Jihad or Land Jihad to happen anywhere, Sharma said. Sharma also drew criticism for opposing the late-night operation of shops in Muslim-majority areas like Qazi Camp and Shahjahanabad. When shops in all other markets... are closed at 10 pm, how come shops at Qazi Camp and other areas be allowed to be open the entire night? Are those markets located in Pakistan? he questioned, demanding police action through a formal memorandum. Responding to Sharmas statements, Congress MLA from Bhopal-Central, Arif Masood, dismissed the remarks as political theatrics. He (Sharma) is doing all this to increase his TRP, Masood said.

Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel seeks answers from govt on Pahalgam, Operation Sindoor 'ceasefire'

JABALPUR: Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel has said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should explain why there was no security for tourists in Pahalgam, where terrorists attacked them on April 22, and did the government agree to a ceasefire with Pakistan under pressure from the United States. Following the horrific Pahalgam attack which claimed 26 lives, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 , striking at terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Pakistan. The neighbouring country retaliated with drones and missiles but failed to cause harm. The two nations announced cessation of hostilities on May 10. Speaking at the opposition Congress' 'Jai Hind' rally here on Saturday, former Chhattisgarh chief minister Baghel accused the BJP of politicising Operation Sindoor and asserted the country's armed forces do not belong to any party. The Congress' event coincided with the PM's mega women empowerment event in Bhopal, 300 km from here. Tell people why there was no security arrangement in Pahalgam. Where are those four terrorists? Was the ceasefire done under pressure from the US and who took the decision on the ceasefire, officers or the government? Baghel said addressing the gathering. The Congress leader's comments came in the backdrop of US President Donald Trump repeatedly asserting that he got India and Pakistan to end hostilities triggered by Operation Sindoor. India has stuck to its stand that the US had no role to play. During a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur on Friday, PM Modi said Pakistan egged for a ceasefire during Operation Sindoor. The Congress is holding 'Jai Hind Sabhas' across the country to salute the armed forces, while the ruling BJP has been carrying out 'Tiranga Yatras' to celebrate the success of Operation Sindoor. BJP is politicising Operation Sindoor. Bharatiya Janata Party activists will distribute vermilion, Baghel alleged, adding that a woman applies sindoor for her husband's well-being and it is her husband who applies sindoor to her forehead. Notably, the BJP has denied that it was planning to distribute sindoor. Our armed forces belong to the whole country and its people, and not just to any political party or government. We all are extremely proud of the bravery and valour of our Army, Baghel said, asserting that doubts are being raised about the BJP government's decisions and policies. He also lauded former PM Indira Gandhi for emphatically defeating Pakistan in the 1971 war, which led to the creation of Bangladesh. 'When will PM break his silence?' Congress on Trump's truce claims The former Chhattisgarh CM said Modi should apologise for objectionable comments made by Madhya Pradesh minister Vijay Shah and state deputy chief minister Jagdish Devda following Operation Sindoor. The PM must set an example by ensuring they are sacked from the MP government, Baghel said. Shah made an objectionable remark about army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi during his speech at a public function at Mhow near Indore on May 12. An FIR has been registered in the matter and both the Supreme Court and MP High Court have severely admonished Shah. On May 16, Devda claimed armed forces and soldiers of the country were atmastak (bowing down with their heads at the feet) in front of PM Modi for giving a befitting reply to terrorists and Pakistan. Baghel also sought to point out similarities between the Pahalgam terror attack and the infamous May 2013 Jhiram valley attack in Chhattisgarh in which Naxalites killed 27 persons, including some prominent Congress leaders. I remember May 25, 2013. Naxalites attacked Congress leaders, killing former Union minister Vidya Charan Shukla among others after asking their names, he said. In Pahalgam, terrorists asked victims their religion. Another common thing in both incidents was there was no security at the respective spots, he added. What is the relation between the two incidents? How they happened calls for pondering, Baghel said. Speaking at the rally, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said those who played no role in India's freedom struggle and remained slaves of the British are today claiming that armed forces are bowing at the feet of PM Modi.
