LS Polls 2024: Stampede-like situation disrupts rally of Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav in Prayagraj
Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav were forced to cut short the public meeting in Prayagraj's Phulpur as the crowd broke the barricades and reached the dais, creating a stampede-like situation.
Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav had to leave...: Congress leader Rewati Raman Singh after public rally in UP's Phulpur turned uncontrollable Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav had to abruptly exit a public rally in Phulpur, Uttar Pradesh, on Sunday after the crowd became uncontrollable. The leaders, out for the poll campaign ahead of the fifth phase of polling in Uttar Pradesh's Phulpur, had to rush out of the event owing to security reasons due to the large turnout. Congress leader Rewati Raman Singh explained the situation, stating, The crowd had become too large, and there weren't enough police officers, which caused the crowd to become uncontrollable and rush the stage. As a result, Akhilesh Ji and Rahul Ji had to leave without giving their speeches. He attributed the lack of adequate security to the police being engaged in election duties elsewhere. When questioned about the coordination between Congress and Samajwadi Party workers, Singh emphasized the sheer size of the crowd as the primary cause of the chaos. Commenting on the BJP's ambitious target of 400 paar seats, Singh remarked, These rallies show what the people want. These people intend to change the Constitution, and they have already said so, which is why they are shouting '400 Paar'. The people themselves are fighting this election to save the Constitution and to protect reservations. The rally, part of the poll campaign, highlighted the strategic alliance between Congress and the Samajwadi Party. Singh confirmed, This is a strategy because both are in an alliance. The Samajwadi Party and Congress have an alliance. Singh expressed confidence in the INDIA alliance's prospects, predicting a strong performance. The INDIA alliance will form the government. Rahul Gandhi will also win from Raebareli, and there is hope for Congress's victory in Amethi as well. On his son Ujjwal Raman Singh's candidacy for the Prayagraj seat, Singh was optimistic. After 40 years, Congress's withered hand will now be seen blooming. He hinted at a significant change, stating, Whenever Allahabad changes, change happens in Delhi as well. This election is being fought by the people. While Singh avoided making precise predictions about the number of seats the INDIA alliance might secure in Uttar Pradesh, he suggested they could win around 40 seats. Rewati Raman Singh, a seasoned politician, has served as an MLA eight times, an MP of the Lok Sabha twice, and an MP of the Rajya Sabha once. His son, Ujjwal Raman Singh, is currently the Congress candidate from Prayagraj. BJP has fielded Neeraj Tripathi, son of former Governor of West Bengal and Speaker of UP Legislative Assembly Keshari Nath Tripathi, from the Allahabad Lok Sabha seat. Polling in the constituency will take place in the sixth phase of the ongoing elections on May 25. (ANI)
'PoK belongs to India, we will take it back': Amit Shah in UP poll rally
PRAYAGRAJ/JAUNPUR: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) belongs to India and we will take it back. Addressing rallies in Prayagraj and Jaunpur districts of Uttar Pradesh to seek votes for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates, he also said we need a strong prime minister who can give a befitting reply to Pakistan. Accusing the Congress of preserving Article 370 of the Constitution for 70 years, Shah hit out at the president of the party, Mallikarjun Kharge. Slamming Kharge for saying people in other states have nothing to do with Kashmir, he said, Khargeji, you are aged above 80 years, but you have not been able to understand this country. Every child of Allahabad is ready to give their lives for Kashmir. (NC chief) Farooq Abdullah and (Congress leader) Mani Shankar Aiyar say give respect to Pakistan because it has the atom bomb. Rahul baba, today, from the sacred land of Prayagraj I will say that PoK is ours, will remain ours and we will take it back. In a video clip that has gone viral on social media, Aiyar is purportedly heard saying India should give respect to Pakistan as it is a sovereign country and engage with it as it also possesses the atom bomb. While Aiyar has said the video was old, the Congress has distanced itself from the remarks made by him some months ago. Hitting out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Jaunpur's Machhlishahr constituency, Shah said, The Congress, SP and the INDI Alliance threaten us, saying give respect to Pakistan, do not ask for PoK because they have the atom bomb. Rahul baba, if you want to feel scared, feel scared of the atom bomb, but PoK belongs to India and we will take it back. He pointed out that on August 5, 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi abrogated Article 370, which had bestowed special rights on Jammu and Kashmir. In Prayagraj, he said, Rahul baba used to say if Article 370 is scrapped, then streams of blood will flow. I have come to tell Rahul baba that leave streams of blood, no one has the courage to even throw a small stone. This is the government of Narendra Modi, who has worked towards freeing the country from terrorism. Claiming that opposition leaders did not attend the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya as they were afraid of losing their vote bank, Shah said those in the BJP do not fear anyone. The Congress and the Samajwadi Party kept the Ram temple (matter) pending for 70 years. The SP government opened fire on kar sevaks. You made Modiji the prime minister for the second time, he won the court case, performed the 'bhoomipujan' (ground-breaking ceremony) and also the 'pran pratishtha' (consecration) of the temple, he said. In Kashmir, where the Army had to be taken along for hoisting the tricolour, at that same Lal Chowk (in Srinagar) now, the 'shobhayatra' of Lord Krishna is taken out, Shah told the Jaunpur rally. He said during the previous Congress-led UPA rule at the Centre, there were bomb blasts virtually everyday. The aliya, maliya, jamaliya would infiltrate and explode bombs. When the Modi government came, they carried out explosions in Pulwama and Uri and in 10 days, surgical strikes and airstrikes were conducted and terrorists eliminated in Pakistan by Modiji, the home minister said. Claiming that leaders of the INDIA bloc have said Article 370 will be brought back if the alliance of opposition parties forms the government, he said, Should Article 370 be brought back? They want to bring back triple talaq, should it be brought back? They want to give reservation to Muslims, should it be given? They want to scrap the CAA, should it be scrapped? They also want to destroy nuclear weapons. This INDI Alliance cannot take the country forward. Hitting out at dynasty politics, Shah claimed that RJD chief Lalu Prasad wants to make his son the chief minister of Bihar, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi wants to make her son the prime minister, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray wants to make his son the chief minister of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin wants to appoint his son to the top post in the southern state and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wants her nephew to succeed her. Rahul baba, this country is not a grocery shop. We need a strong prime minister who can give a befitting reply to Pakistan. Who is that prime minister who has a 56-inch chest? The writing on the wall is that on June 4, Modiji is going to become the prime minister for the third time, he said. Claiming that Congress leaders say the country should be divided into two parts -- South India and North India -- Shah said the opposition party is not satisfied with dividing India once, it wants to divide the country again. The BJP will never allow another division of the country, he added. The senior BJP leader also accused the Congress of spreading the lie that if Modi comes to power for a third time, he will abolish reservation. Modiji has the majority for the last 10 years and he did not use it to abolish reservation. The Congress, SP and BSP are spreading lies. As long as the BJP has even one MP, no one can touch reservation, he said. The home minister also accused the Congress of being anti-Dalit and alleged that it has always insulted B R Ambedkar. Allahabad and Machhlishahr are scheduled to go to polls in the sixth phase of the seven-phase parliamentary election on May 25.

BJP going to win only one seat in UP: Rahul Gandhi Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that the BJP is winning only one seat in Uttar Pradesh. ''Have you heard (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi is winning only one BJP seat of Kyoto (Varanasi) in Uttar Pradesh,'' said Gandhi while addressing a joint poll meeting with Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav in Prayagraj in support of INDIA bloc candidate Ujjawal Raman Singh. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier said that he will turn Varanasi into Kyoto, a picturesque town in Japan. ''The fight is to save the Constitution. The BJP and the RSS are attacking it, and I want to tell them that no power can tear and throw the Constitution away,'' Gandhi said while waiving a copy of the Indian Constitution. Gandhi reiterated the promises made by the Congress and appealed to vote for the party's candidate. ''We are going to make a law for an MSP of farm produce and we will also provide support to the unemployed youth,'' he added. ''We will throw the Agniveer scheme into the garbage and provide recruitment in the armed forces as it used to be done before,'' Gandhi said. Speaking before Gandhi, Yadav alleged that the BJP is after people's lives and the Constitution. ''The BJP put our lives in danger with the Covid vaccine and now wants to destroy the Constitution,'' Yadav said. Yadav promised that jobs will be be provided to the youth after the INDIA bloc government is formed. ''We will take back the Agniveer scheme of recruitment in the armed force and will provide permanent jobs,'' Yadav said. Ujjawal Raman Singh is contesting from the Allahabad Lok Sabha seat on a Congress ticket. He is pitted against BJP's Neeraj Tripathi. Polling in Allahabad is to be held on May 25 in the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha polls.

Allahabad HC initiates criminal contempt proceedings against 10 attorneys for 'physical assault on litigants' Taking a serious note of assault of litigants at the district court here, the Allahabad High Court has issued criminal contempt notice to ten advocates and also restrained them from entering the district court premises. The high court's notice came after the district judge submitted the report in the case. On April 30, the high court had restrained two lawyers from entering the district court premises for their alleged involvement in the same incident. Some advocates on April 29 entered the senior division court located on the district court premises and allegedly beat up a litigant. Passing its order on Monday, a division bench comprising Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Mohd Azhar Husain Idrisi observed, ''The incident in this case has to be viewed with utmost seriousness. This court cannot allow the court proceedings to be obstructed in a manner that litigants are brutally thrashed in the court room and the presiding officer has to flee to her chamber for her safety.'' ''This type of aggressive and violent conduct in the court will cause a virtual collapse of the system. This court cannot be a silent spectator to events of this kind. A clear and unequivocal message must go to unscrupulous persons that incident of this kind would not be tolerated and shall be dealt with sternly,'' said the bench. It also called upon the commissioner of police, Prayagraj, to ensure that adequate police force is made available on the direction of district judge to allow smooth functioning of the court. The high court also directed the commissioner of police to authorize a responsible officer, not below the rank of assistant commissioner of Police, to specify the criminal history of all the persons against whom notices are issued in the present contempt matter. The status of the investigation or the action taken in this regard should also be specifically disclosed, the court said in its order.

In Class 12, schools under the Central Tibetan Schools Administration achieved the highest pass percentage at 99.23 while Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas recorded the highest pass percentage for Class 10 at 99.09. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan congratulated the students on their results and advised them to make an effective plan for higher studies. ''Heartily congratulate my young friends who have successfully cleared the CBSE Class X and Class XII examinations. While you cherish the success and enjoy the fruits of your labour, do also utilise this time to make an effective plan for higher studies. Wishing all a happy, healthy and bright future,'' Pradhan said in a series of posts on X. ''To all my friends who have not met their expectations, don't lose heart. All of you have it in you to overcome any challenge. I am sure your moment of glory is not far away. Keep hustling,'' he added. The supplementary exams for classes 10 and 12 will be conducted from July 15. Based on National Education Policy - 2020 recommendations, the CBSE last year changed the nomenclature of the compartment examination to supplementary examination. Bhardwaj said Class 12 students will be allowed to improve their performance in one subject in the supplementary examination. Class 10 students will be allowed to improve their performance in two subjects. The official said, ''Three categories of students will be eligible to appear in the supplementary examinations -- Class 10 students who were unable to pass two subjects and Class 12 students unable to pass one subject and were placed in compartment category.'' ''....students who were declared pass by replacing sixth or seventh subject; and classes 10 and 12 students who were declared pass but wish to improve their performance in two and one subject respectively,'' Bhardwaj added.

Study Finds Significant Gap in Measles Vaccination Coverage Among Children in India
A recent study uncovered a worrying trend in India's measles vaccination coverage among children. About 12% of eligible children haven't received any of the recommended double doses, indicating a significant gap in immunization efforts. The study, conducted by researchers from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Banaras Hindu University, focused on overlooked aspects of measles vaccination, analyzing data from over 43,000 children aged 2-3 years. Results revealed that nearly 30% of eligible children received only one measles-containing vaccine (MCV1), while around 60% were fully immunized (MCV2). This concerning trend comes despite India's adoption of the National Strategic Plan for Measles and Rubella Elimination in 2017. Disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the risk of measles outbreaks, particularly among vulnerable populations. The study highlighted regional disparities, with northeastern states like Nagaland reporting the highest percentage of zero-dose cases at 26%, while Tamil Nadu had the lowest at 4.6%. In Uttar Pradesh, districts like Prayagraj and Banda had significantly higher percentages of zero-dose cases compared to others. Socio-demographic factors, such as lower wealth levels and maternal education, were found to increase the likelihood of children not receiving vaccinations. Additionally, vaccine hesitancy fueled by cultural factors and misinformation contributed to lower inoculation rates. The researchers emphasized the need for tailored vaccination strategies, especially in districts with around 10% variability in zero-dose cases. They stressed the importance of last-mile efforts and more frequent vaccination campaigns to achieve the target of 95% vaccine coverage for population-level immunity.
