RJD turned Bihar into hub of kidnapping, extortion: Amit Shah at Bihar rally
PATNA: Sharpening his attack on the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), led by Lalu Prasad, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said that only one industry flourished in Bihar during the RJDs rule that of kidnapping, extortion, contract killings, and dacoity. All industrial units were shut down in the state under RJD rule, he added. Shah hinted that elections in Bihar could be held in a single phase if the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) returns to power after the upcoming Assembly elections scheduled for next month. Addressing a rally in Biharsharif in Nalanda district, Shah said that the NDAs record of good governance had already ensured a reduction in polling phases in Bihar. Next time, elections will be held in just one round if we return to power, he told the gathering. Heaping praise on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Shah said that under his leadership, the NDA had freed the state from jungle raj (lawlessness) and the scourge of Naxalism. Our government at the Centre is determined to free the entire country from the Naxal menace, Shah asserted. Bihar assembly polls: Dont allow 'jungle raj of Congress and RJD to re-enter the state, says Amit Shah Later, addressing another rally in Munger, Shah compared the NDA alliance to the Pandavas, saying the partners would fight the election with unity and shared purpose. NDA partners will fight the election united like the Pandavas five political parties coming together as one. On the other side, the opposition has neither leadership nor direction, he said. This election is not about making someone an MLA, minister, or chief minister; it is about ensuring that jungle raj does not return to Bihar, Shah added. He also highlighted the BJP governments religious and cultural initiatives, noting that while the Ram temple has already been constructed in Ayodhya, work has begun on a grand Sita temple at Punauradham in Sitamarhi district. The Sita temple will be built at a cost of Rs 800 crore, Shah said.

PATNA: Union Home Minister Amit Shah today addressed two massive public rallies in Siwan and Buxar, Bihar , launching a strong attack on the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and its leader Lalu Prasad Yadav. He accused the RJD of returning Bihar to the days of jungle raj and urged people to reject the politics of crime and corruption. Speaking in Siwan, Shah said this was his first visit to the district after nomination and that he had come to pay his respects to the people of Siwan. He recalled the period of what he called twenty years of jungle raj under Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, saying that during that time the people of Siwan had suffered terror and violence at the hands of former RJD MP Mohammad Shahabuddin. The land ran with blood, but the people never bowed. They ended the rule of LaluRabri, he said. Shah strongly criticized the RJD for giving a ticket to Shahabuddins son Osama from Raghunathpur, calling it an attempt to revive the atmosphere of fear in the region. He declared that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, no one would be allowed to get away with crime. Even if a hundred Shahabuddins come, they will not escape the law. Do not let jungle raj return, do not let Osama win, and do not let the ideology of Shahabuddin prevail, he said. The Union Minister told the crowd that the true Diwali would come on November 14, when, according to him, Lalus sons fate will be sealed. Praising Nitish Kumar, Shah said that Bihar had been freed from jungle raj under Nitishs leadership and had progressed further under the double-engine government of Modi at the Centre and Nitish in the state. For the last eleven years, Modi ji and Nitish ji have worked together to take Bihar forward. Shahabuddin left Siwan bloodstained, but Modi ji has put Bihar on the path of development, he said. Listing the achievements of the Modi government, Shah said that in the last eleven years, crores of poor people across India have received free food grains, health insurance of Rs 5 lakh under Ayushman Bharat, tap water connections, and direct financial support to farmers. He said 12 crore toilets, 10 crore gas cylinders, and 4 crore houses have been provided under various central schemes, while the government has also taken measures like reducing GST on 395 items to benefit the common people. Shah highlighted major infrastructure projects sanctioned for Siwan, including a four-lane road from Siwan to Masrath at a cost of Rs 1,500 crore, widening of the ChhapraSiwanGopalganj road, construction of a new bypass, and rebuilding of Siwan railway station at Rs 92 crore. He also mentioned the establishment of a medical college at Merwa for Rs 568 crore, an engineering college, a pharmacy college, and a power grid worth Rs 180 crore. Lalu ji, what development did you bring in twenty years? he asked. You ran scams fodder scam, land-for-job scam, railway hotel scam, corruption in flood relief, and many others. Should Bihar again choose those who brought jungle raj and corruption? Shah also accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of supporting infiltrators , claiming that illegal immigrants were taking away the jobs and rations meant for local people. He said the BJP and NDA would ensure that infiltrators are identified and removed if voted back to power. 'Bihar will vote for development, not dynasty politics' Later in the day, addressing a rally in Buxar, Shah invoked Chhathi Maiya and prayed that jungle raj never returns to Bihar. Referring again to RJDs decision to field Osama, he said, By giving Shahabuddins son a ticket, Lalu ji wants to frighten the people. But this is the land of Veer Kunwar Singh the people here fear no one. He compared the RJDs candidate with the NDAs choice, Anand Mishra, a former Indian Police Service officer who, he said, had left a prestigious career to serve Bihar. While Lalu gives tickets to criminals sons, we are giving tickets to capable sons of the soil, he said, claiming that the NDA stood for good governance while the opposition was leading Bihar back to lawlessness. Shah also spoke about the cultural and religious development of the region, noting that Buxar has been included in the Ramayana Circuit. He said that projects worth Rs 850 crore were underway to develop places associated with Lord Ram and Goddess Sita, including the Sitamarhi temple and Sita Matas final abode. He accused the Congress and RJD of opposing the Ram Temple in Ayodhya for vote-bank politics, adding that the people of Bihar will give them a fitting reply. Continuing his attack on Lalu Prasad Yadav, Shah said, Lalu ji has made five attempts to launch his son like a rocket, but unlike Sriharikota, all have failed. He said the NDA under the leadership of Modi and Nitish represented development and good governance, while the opposition parties were focused only on promoting their own families. The future of Bihars youth lies with the BJP, JD(U), Paswan ji, Manjhi ji, and Kushwaha ji, he said. Concluding his speeches, Amit Shah expressed confidence that the people of Bihar would once again choose the NDA in the upcoming elections. On November 14, the people of Bihar will vote for good governance and ensure that jungle raj never returns to this sacred land, he said.

Delhi court upholds civil judge order dismissing plea seeking declaration of Ayodhya verdict as void
NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has dismissed a plea challenging a civil judge's order that had rejected a suit seeking that the Supreme Court's judgment in the Ayodhya case be declared ull and void. The district court was hearing the revision plea filed by Advocate Mehmood Pracha against the April 2025 order of a civil court, which had dismissed his suit with costs of Rs 1 lakh. Underlining that seeking guidance from the Almighty cannot be berated as a fraudulent act to gain an unfair advantage, either in law or in any religion, District Judge Dharmender Rana imposed an additional Rs 5 lakh fine o effectively check the menace of frivolous and luxurious litigation. Noting the facts of the case, the court said Pracha had claimed that during a public address in Pune, former Chief Justice of India, D Y Chandrachud, had admitted that the October 2019 judgment in the Ayodhya case was in terms of the solution provided to him by Bhagwan Shri Ram Lala Virajman. Accordingly, it said that Pracha filed a suit seeking a declaration of the verdict as void, besides seeking fresh adjudication. The court noted that against the civil judge's order dismissing his plea, Pracha had filed the present appeal. In an order dated October 18, Judge Rana dismissed the appeal with an additional cost of Rs 5 lakh, saying, Evidently, the cost imposed by the trial court (civil court) has failed to achieve the intended goal of deterrent effect. Therefore, I am of the considered opinion that to effectively check the menace of frivolous and luxurious litigation, the cost amount needs to be suitably enhanced to fetch the desired results. He said Pracha had challenged the Ayodhya case verdict on absolutely frivolous grounds, without bothering to go through the verdict. The insistence of the appellant (Pracha) to implead the CJI, soon after his retirement, speaks volumes against his oblique intent, the judge said. He said that 'Aham Brahama Asmi' was a core tenet of Hindu philosophy, embodying the idea that the individual self is not separate from the universal, infinite consciousness, and even the holy Quran permitted the devotees to seek guidance for the right path from the almighty Allah. Therefore, seeking guidance from the Almighty cannot be berated as a fraudulent act to gain an unfair advantage, either in law or in any religion, the judge said. Evidently, the distinction between a juristic personality litigating before the court and the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient supreme being is absolutely clear from the Ayodhya case judgment itself. Resultantly, one cannot resist the inference that the imputations of the appellant are a result of his sheer indolence and incorrect understanding of the subject,he added. He said there was no scope for arguing that the plaint disclosed any cause of action. A five-judge Constitution bench unanimously granted the entire 2.77 acres of the disputed Ram-Janmbhoomi Babri Masjid land in Ayodhya to the deity Ram Lalla on November 9, 2019. The judge further agreed with the civil court's observation that Pracha was not a party in the Ayodhya case, and so he could not claim himself to be an affected party, that his suit was barred by law, and was in fact an abuse of the process of law. He said, The already overburdened dockets of the court cannot afford the menace of luxurious and frivolous litigation, and the issue becomes all the more concerning when a responsible officer of the court opts to file a frivolous litigation. The menace of luxurious and frivolous needs to be dealt with an iron hand, the judge said. He said that recently a negative trend had emerged in society, where public functionaries were targeted upon demitting offices by some unscrupulous litigants, who nurtured a misconceived notion that upon demitting office, an ex-public functionary became vulnerable and prone to all kinds of malicious and malefic assault. Therefore, courts of this country owe a duty to ensure a peaceful and pleasant evening to the persons who have devoted their lives to the service of the nation. Not only the courts but even the bar owes an important duty to diligently act as a sentinel so that the impurities are sieved out at the entry gates themselves, he added.

'Political Islam' undermined Hindu faith, largely overlooked in history: CM Yogi
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that while history often highlights British and French colonialism, the role of political Islam, which he claimed dealt the greatest blow to Sanatan Dharma, is largely overlooked. He highlighted that great warriors like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Guru Gobind Singh, Maharana Pratap, and Maharana Sanga waged battles against political Islam. Our ancestors waged major struggles against political Islam, yet this aspect of history remains largely overlooked, Adityanath said at the 'Vichar-Parivar Kutumb Sneh Milan' and 'Deepotsav Se Rashtrotsav' programmes organised by the Gorakhpur division to mark the centenary year of the RSS. The chief minister lauded the RSS for its pivotal role in the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. He claimed that while the nation discusses colonial resistance, it often overlooks the ideological challenge of political Islam. Our ancestors fought not only against the British and French but also against political Islam; heroes like Veer Shivaji and Maharana Pratap stand testimony to this. There is talk of British colonialism, there is talk of French colonialism, but nowhere is there talk of political Islam, which undermined the faith, Adityanath said. He said that during the RSS's 100-year journey, the impossible has been made possible. While members of the Samajwadi Party, the Congress, and the INDIA bloc questioned the Ram temple, RSS volunteers remained steadfast in their resolve that the temple would be built. The Sangh endured restrictions, and its volunteers faced lathi-charge and bullets. Today, the magnificent Ram Temple stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment, he said. Adityanath alleged that activities promoting political Islam continue under various guises. The chief minister said that Uttar Pradesh has banned the sale of Halal-certified products, claiming that profits from such sales were being used for conversion, love jihad, and terrorism. Speaking about the RSS centenary initiatives, Adityanath outlined five key transformations: social harmony, family values, environmental protection, self-reliance through indigenous goods, and civic responsibility, terming them the foundation of a 'Viksit Bharat'. For a developed society and a developed nation, society must lead, and the government must follow, he added.

Uma Bharti says she is willing to contest 2029 Lok Sabha polls if Uttar Pradeshs Jhansi seat given
BHOPAL:Perhaps the lone politician from Madhya Pradesh who has won Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha polls from two states former Chief Minister Uma Bharti is willing to contest the 2029 LS polls, if the BJP fields her from Uttar Pradeshs Jhansi seat. I have told journalists in UPs Lalitpur district that Im ready to contest the 2029 Lok Sabha polls, if fielded by the party (BJP) from Jhansi, the 66-year-old saffron-clad politician posted on the social media platform X (formerly twitter) on Sunday. Importantly, the former Madhya Pradesh CM, who has been a cabinet minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government as well as the Narendra Modi 1.0 regime at the centre, has won six LS polls between 1989 and 2014 from three seats of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, including four times from Khajuraho, once from Bhopal (MP) and the last time in 2014 from UPs Jhansi seat. Not only has she won the Lok Sabha polls from both MP and UP, but also emerged victorious for the BJP in assembly polls from the two neighbouring states, including the Malhara seat of Chhatarpur district of MP in 2003 and the Charkhari seat in Mahoba district of UP in 2012. Earlier on Saturday, while interacting with journalists in Lalitpur (UP), Bharti had reportedly said, Bundelkhand, of which Jhansi is a part, is my emotional home. I share a deep bond with its people. If the party asks, I will definitely contest. Bharti has kept herself away from electoral politics after winning the 2014 LS polls from Jhansi. She had cited health grounds and commitment to the cause of River Ganga to keep herself away from contesting the 2019 and 2024 national elections. In August this year, she had maintained that she wasnt away from politics and would return to the electoral field at an appropriate time. Back in March 2024, just a month before the Lok Sabha polls, Bharti (one of the frontal leaders of the Ram Temple Movement) had said, Till January 21, 2024, I was keen at contesting the LS polls and a prominent individual (who isnt part of BJP, but the party acts on his advice) asked me to finalize out of 2-3seats of UP (which didnt include Jhansi). I assured him that on my return from Ayodhya on January 22, 2024, Iwouldmake my choice of the seat in UP known. She added, But once at the Ram Temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya, I remembered former VHP president Late Ashok Singhal, whose perseverance led to the realisation of the dream of Ram Temple construction. Suddenly, I was blessed with garlands of Ram Lala, which I offered in river Ganga in Unnao later and took a vow to work for the sacred rivers cause for the next two years. In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, when the BJP swept Samajwadi Party-ruled UP, winning 73 seats out of the total 80 seats with its ally Apna Dal (Sonelal), Bharti had wrested the Jhansi Lok Sabha seat for the BJP from the Congress, by defeating the 2004 winner Chandra Pal Singh Yadav (SP) by over 1.90 lakh votes. The seat was retained by the BJP in 2019 and 2024 also, with the ruling partys nominee Anurag Sharma, winning it by 3.65 lakh and 1.02 lakh votes respectively.

Uttarakhand's month-long Diwali keeps ancient mountain traditions alive
DEHRADUN: While the rest of India concludes its Diwali celebrations with Bhai Dooj, Uttarakhands mountain communities continue to celebrate the festival of lights for almost a month, retaining ancient traditions that reflect the regions unique cultural identity. In several high-altitude and remote areas of the state, the main Diwali festival is observed a month later during the month of Mangseer , a practice rooted in age-old beliefs about the delayed arrival of news in inaccessible Himalayan valleys. This extended celebration is locally known as Mangseer Bagwal or Budhi (Old) Diwali . Speaking about the cultural significance of this observance, historian and author Jai Singh Rawat emphasised its deep historical roots. In the high mountain areas of Uttarakhand, such as Champawat, Bageshwar, Tehri, and Jaunsar-Bawar, Diwali is celebrated a month after the main Kartik Amavasya festival, during the month of Mangseer, Rawat told TNIE . The belief is that in ancient times, the news of Lord Ramas victory over Ravana allegedly reached these difficult terrains much later. Consequently, they began celebrating Diwali a month afterward, he explained, linking the delay to the regions historical isolation. The Mangseer Bagwal celebrations are marked by vibrant community rituals, most notably the Bhaila . During this event, villagers spin balls of burning wood in the air. The Bhaila is a vibrant example of social unity and folk culture, Rawat noted. It symbolises courage and joy, accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of dhol-damaun drums and folk songs. It transcends boundaries of age and class, bringing everyone together. Adding another layer to Uttarakhands festive calendar is Igas Bagwal , celebrated eleven days after the main Diwali and often marked by a state holiday. This tradition is based on the belief that the good news of Lord Ramas return to Ayodhya allegedly reached the mountain communities eleven days after the event. On Igas, the celebration shifts to the agrarian community. Villagers gather in the fields, swirling flaming torches made of deodar or pine wood, known as Bhelo , while engaging in collective singing and dancing. The form of Diwali has changed over time, Rawat conceded. But the traditions remain alive. While urban areas see an increase in electric lights and crackers, villages still maintain the tradition of earthen lamps (deepaks), folk songs, and communal worship. A crucial element of Igas is the veneration of livestock. Farmers honour their cattle, offering bhog composed of flattened rice ( chura ), milk, and ghee. Traditional delicacies such as arsa , puri , and pakoras are prepared in homes. The Diwali traditions of Uttarakhand are not merely about lighting lamps; they symbolise collective joy, folk music, and the deep connection to agricultural life and animal husbandry. Government and social organisations are now promoting the Igas festival as a cultural heritage, Rawat added, acknowledging modern efforts to preserve these unique customs. This cultural phenomenonwhere Diwali is observed on three distinct dates across various parts of the statehas become a defining characteristic of Devbhoomi.

Sabarimala: Joint forum to seek President Droupadi Murmu reference
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Sabarimala Karma Samithi, a joint forum of Hindu organisations, will take up the Sabarimala gold theft controversy with Droupadi Murmu, when the President visits Kerala later this month. The samithi hopes for a Presidential Reference under Article 143 to the Supreme Court to explore the possibility of forming a separate administrative system for Sabarimala temple, on the model of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple, which is governed by a committee chaired by the additional district and sessions judge in Thiruvananthapuram. It has representatives of the Union and state governments, thantri family and the erstwhile Travancore royal family as members. We have an appointment with the President when she visits Sabarimala on October 22, said samithi general convenor S J R Kumar. Citing the missing gold row, he accused successive Travancore Devaswom Board members and staffers of mismanaging the hill shrine. Since Sabarimala temple holds national importance, the President can refer it to the Supreme Court for formulating a better administrative system, he told TNIE, adding that in 1993, the then President had made a reference in the Ayodhya temple case. Article 143 empowers the President to seek the SCs advisory opinion on any question or law that is of public importance. After the Babri Masjid demolition, then President Shankar Dayal Sharma had in 1993 sought the SCs opinion on whether any Hindu structure existed at the site before the mosque was built. Samithi to seek CBI probe into missing Sabarimala gold It is the SCs discretion to respond to or decline the reference. In 1993, the court declined to comment on Dayals reference. Meanwhile, the samithi will also seek a CBI probe into the missing gold, Kumar said. We have already submitted a memorandum to the Union government for a probe by a central agency. We believe the corruption and theft at Sabarimala are linked to ruling politicians. The state police will not be able to uncover their connection and larger conspiracy, he said. The samithi also plans to move the Kerala High Court raising the demand. It has already petitioned the state home department. The department can accept or decline our demand. If it refuses or delays our petition, we will move the HC, he said.

Centre to set up sixth NSG Black Cat commando hub in Ayodhya: Amit Shah
NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday announced that the government plans to set up the sixth regional hub of the Black Cat counter terrorism commando force NSG in Uttar Pradesh's temple town Ayodhya. The National Security Guard has regional hubs in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Gandhinagar, along with a small unit called task force in Jammu. While addressing the 41 st Raising Day of the National Security Guard at its headquarters in Haryanas Manesar, the Home Minister announced that the NSG hubs in different parts of the country enabled its commandos to reach any emergency immediately and effectively. In his address, the Home Minister also indicated that the government is working on a plan to bring in major changes in the functioning of the NSG in the coming days. So far, five hubs of the NSG have been established in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad (Gandhinagar). In addition, a new hub is also going to be set up in Ayodhya. Here, the NSG personnel will be deployed and available round the clock, he said. The government operationalised four regional hubs of the NSG in Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata on June 30 and July 1, 2009. The decision to set up these hubs was taken following the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks of 2008 to reduce the time in mobilising the elite commandos in the event of terror attacks. During the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, the NSG commandos were required to be airlifted from Delhi, which caused critical delays. In March 2011, the central government gave the nod for setting up another NSG regional hub in Gandhinagar. Praising the NSGs efforts in fighting a formidable battle against terrorism for the past four decades, the Home Minister said that it was reassuring for the countrymen that their security and fight against terrorism are in safe hands. With the three principles: Sarvatra, Sarvottam, Suraksha, and by making Samarpan, Saahas and Rashtrabhakti, its hallmarks, the NSG has fought a formidable battle against organised crime and terrorism in this country for four decades, he said. Shah said that the Special Operation Training Centre (SOTC), which was inaugurated today, was not only for the NSG but also for the state police forces. I want to tell all the state police forces that the Special Operation Training Centre inaugurated today is not only for NSG, but it will be available to them, he said. The Home Minister said that the SOTC, which has been built at a cost of Rs 141 crore, would provide state-of-the-art training for commandos to combat terrorism.
