Indira Krishnan says 'people who are forgotten use such stunts to stay relevant' on Rohit Roy's 'dustbin' remark

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) Popular television and film actress Indira Krishna has slammed Rohit Roys comment over the small screen medium and its actors as she said that forgotten people use such stunts. Slamming Rohit, Indira told IANS, The word 'dustbin' is terrible to use for a veteran actor who himself comes from this medium. Television has given many skilled actors work and a stage to perform so well. The actress, who made a mark in Hindi television with shows like Krishnaben Khakhrawala, Krishnadasi, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Saavi Ki Savaari, Dhruv Tara - Samay Sadi Se Pare, Durga - Atoot Prem Kahani, said: There are many popular directors who are doing films after directing some brilliant shows on television. Well, to each his own. This medium is my plate of food as well as my respect. So that's his view and he can stick to it. Indira added: Or should I say, it's a democratic view. Sometimes people who are forgotten use such stunts to stay relevant, so I guess this is one of those. Television has been, is, and will always be the biggest medium. It reaches every household and gives actors a daily connection with the audience that no other medium can. To demean it after being a part of it for years is disappointing. We should respect the medium that has made us, said the actress, who has worked in films such as Tere Naam, Animal, and will be seen in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana playing Lord Rama's mother Kaushalya. Indira's debut film was an Odia film, Suna Panjuri in 1995, alongside Sidhant Mohapatra. She played Puja, and the film turned out to be the musical hit of the year. She appeared in Trishakti and then appeared in the film Aaj Ka Ravan with Mithun Chakraborty. Later, she appeared in films like Tere Naam, Tathastu, Chatur Singh Two Star, and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty. She appeared in the Marathi film Janiva, directed by her husband, Rajesh Ranshinage.

The fundamental inquiry is whether oppressive forces are transformed merely by their rebranding.

Punjab Congress slams AAP for misleading people on drugs

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 13 (IANS) Slamming the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, the main Opposition Congress on Sunday alleged that the ruling party is misleading the people on the issue of drugs, systematically persecuting weaker sections and shielding influential figures involved in serious crimes. Welcoming Rajendra Pal Gautam, Chairman of the Central Scheduled Castes Department, state party President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring thanked Rajkumar Verka and Gurpreet Singh Lucky Pakho for their struggle for the rights of marginalised communities. Warring said that under the BJP at the Centre and the AAP government in Punjab, poor Dalit families are falling victim to administrative apathy and targeted exploitation. Raising the tragic suicide of Gulzar Singh, the Congress leaders said Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has expressed concern over the incident. They noted that Gulzar Singhs only fault was speaking out to save his son from drugs and opposing the open sale of narcotics in villages. Instead of taking action against drug traffickers, the administration subjected him to relentless harassment, which ultimately drove him to suicide. Despite the Finance Minister being explicitly named in the dying declaration, no legal action or accountability has been fixed so far, leaving the victim's family running from pillar to post for justice. The Congress leadership also raised the issue of brutal police torture inflicted on Mohanjeet Singh, who was subjected to inhuman cruelty merely for showing black flags during a peaceful, democratic protest. The Congress leaders cited this as clear evidence of an authoritarian regime under AAP rule. Targeting the ruling party directly over law and order, Rajendra Gautam said AAP came to power in 2022 on promises of eradicating drugs and transforming traditional politics within months. He said during its tenure in Delhi, AAP evaded accountability for law and order under the pretext of not having full statehood. However, in Punjab, despite having full control over the police, the drug trade has spiralled out of control. Gautam questioned how drugs could spread to every village and even circulate openly inside Punjabs jails without direct political and administrative patronage.

People in Punjab want development, employment, not jokes: Haryana CM

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 13 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, saying the people there want development, employment, security for industries and solutions to their problems, not jokes, publicity and advertisements. There has never been any shortage of ability or hard work among the people of Punjab, but the policies, intentions and leadership of governments that have failed to provide the state with the right direction have pushed Punjab behind in the race for development, he said. CM Saini was addressing a public meeting in Kakrala village in Patiala. Former Union minister Preneet Kaur, Prof Malkit Singh and other dignitaries were present on the occasion. On the occasion, hundreds of people joined the BJP, and the Chief Minister welcomed them. CM Saini said that although Punjab and Haryana are two separate states, their roots, culture and heritage are one. Paying homage to this great land of Gurus, Pirs and martyrs, he said the people of Punjab are now asking why Punjab has fallen behind despite having fertile land, hardworking people and immense potential. The Chief Minister said at one time, Punjab was counted among the most prosperous states in the country. Haryana, which came into existence nearly 19 years after Punjab was formed, today has moved far ahead of Punjab in terms of economic progress. In 2025-26, Haryanas real economic growth rate is estimated at 9.5 per cent, while Punjabs growth rate is only 6.1 per cent. Thus, Haryana is progressing 3.4 percentage points faster than Punjab. Similarly, in 2026-27, Haryanas economy is estimated at approximately Rs 15.18 lakh crore, while Punjabs is estimated at approximately Rs 9.81 lakh crore. There is a difference of approximately Rs 5.38 lakh crore in the economic size of the two states. This difference is due to the right policy, clear intent and accountable leadership, said CM Saini. He said in 2023-24 Haryanas share in the countrys GDP was approximately 3.6 per cent, while Punjabs share was approximately 2.4 per cent. Haryanas per capita income was estimated at 176.8 per cent of the national average, while Punjabs was estimated at 106.7 per cent. The Chief Minister said at one time, Punjabs per capita income used to be nearly twice the national average, but the situation has changed today. He said the people of Punjab wanted an answer as to why the states economic potential is not being fully utilised. The Chief Minister said the Aam Aadmi Party government has given Punjab more publicity than work and more advertisements than results. Repeating false claims does not strengthen an economy. An economy becomes strong when industries receive security, youth get employment, traders have confidence, farmers receive remunerative prices, and the benefits of government schemes reach people directly without discrimination, he said. The CM said, It is the governments responsibility to go among the people, listen to their problems and resolve them. Jokes work in cinema halls, but among the people, the discussion is about work, development and solutions to public problems. He said the Congress had also made big promises to the people of Punjab but failed to fulfil them. The Aam Aadmi Party also made numerous promises, but they remained merely promises, and people did not get relief from their problems. The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP government in Haryana has been working to fulfil the promises made to the people. Out of the 217 promises made during the 2024 Assembly elections, 70 have already been fulfilled within 18 months of the governments tenure.

He observed that what today's youth consider groundbreaking may have already been explored by previous generations. His life, steeped in traditional values, lends weight to his assertion. Mishima's insights remind us that fundamental human desires persist over time, encouraging us to appreciate the historical roots of contemporary ideas.

Greater Noida: Three, including woman, held for duping people with fake gold ornaments

Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Sep 12 (IANS) A Bisrakh police team in Greater Noida on Saturday busted a gang allegedly involved in cheating people of lakhs of rupees by showing them fake gold ornaments and arrested three persons, including a woman. The police have recovered Rs 1.20 lakh in cash and a gold-chain ornament allegedly linked to the cheating incident from the accused. Two fixed deposits (FDs) of Rs 2 lakh each belonging to the accused have also been frozen. According to the police, the accused posed as labourers and lured victims by claiming that they had found gold and silver during excavation. They would then gain the victim's confidence before offering to sell the allegedly discovered jewellery at a much lower price. The case came to light after a complaint was lodged at Bisrakh police station. The complainant alleged that two unidentified men and a woman had duped his father by handing him a bag containing fake gold ornaments and taking lakhs of rupees from him. To crack the case, police used local intelligence and analysed CCTV footage from the area. During the investigation, they gathered crucial leads about the suspects and subsequently arrested all three from the road leading from Char Murti towards ATS Roundabout on September 12. The accused have been identified as Mani, a woman aged around 40, Mohan, 43, and Dharma, 45. Mani and Mohan are originally residents of JJ Colony in Delhi's Uttam Nagar and were currently staying in Purana Haibatpur village under Bisrakh police station limits. Dharma, a resident of Bhagirathi Vihar in Delhi's Bhajanpura was also staying in Purana Haibatpur. During interrogation, the accused allegedly revealed their modus operandi. They would introduce themselves as labourers and approach unsuspecting people, claiming that they had found gold or silver while carrying out excavation work. After gaining the victim's confidence, they would take one or two days before showing fake gold or silver ornaments. They would then offer to sell the ornaments at a fraction of their market value, exploiting the victim's desire to buy gold at a cheap price. Once the victim agreed to the deal and handed over the money, the accused would give them fake ornaments and flee. Police are now questioning the accused to ascertain how many similar incidents they have committed in the past and identify other members who may be involved in the gang.
