Ansari said, The Ram Temple verdict was a court decision, and people across the country respected it. Not even a leaf was disturbed anywhere in the country. He added that digging the past can do no good to the country. Speaking to IANS, Ansari said that speaking on the matter should be avoided because the court judgment has already come. If anyone says anything regarding the Ram Temple verdict, it should be avoided, because people across the country had respected the decision of the court, he added. The decision has come, Ram Mandir has been built, prayers and rituals have been completed, people flock to the temple with complete devotion. Swara Bhaskar should avoid speaking on the matter, because all the people of the country have accepted the verdict respectfully, Ansari said. The former Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi litigant said, When all the people are coming and worshipping the deity, when there is no bias or discrimination Raising an issue of the past can bring no good, because we are residents of Ayodhya.

India's concept of 'dharma' different from Western notion of religion: Bhagwat

Ujjain, Sep 18: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday said India's understanding of the concept of 'dharma' was distinct from Western notions of religion, asserting that the country has not discriminated among different faiths and this was its understanding of secularism. Addressing around 1,700 Gen Z participants at the 'Yuva Dharma Sansad' here, Bhagwat said he was happy to see youngsters discussing 'dharma' at a time when some considered it an old people's affair. Our state has always been intermingling. It does not discriminate among its people. This is the meaning of 'panth-nirpekshata' for us, he said. Bhagwat said the Western concept of secularism emerged from conflicts between rulers and religious authorities, and therefore, did not fit the Indian context in the same manner. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief said India had traditionally viewed material and spiritual aspects of life together rather than separating them. Distinguishing between 'dharma' and religion, Bhagwat said that the two should not be treated as synonymous. 'Dharma' is above religion, he said, adding that while the latter binds, the former liberates and leads to 'moksha' (salvation). He noted that the English language had no exact equivalent for the Indian concept, and the word 'religion' had historically been used to explain it to Western audiences. Bhagwat said religion could become sectarian when separated from 'dharma', which he described as being based on truth, compassion, purity and self-discipline. Dharma is not something to be discovered; it has to be recognised and practised, he said. He described 'dharma' as a principle that sustains the universe, promotes the progress of all and determines duties, while taking into account the nature of every living being and object. The RSS chief further noted that 'dharma' was reflected in human conduct and urged the young participants to shed prejudices if they wanted to understand it. He also linked 'dharma' with environmental responsibility, saying human beings had a duty to protect nature. Destruction of forests and environmental degradation amounted to 'adharma' (unrighteousness), Bhagwat asserted. He urged young people to respect other forms of worship while remaining committed to their own traditions. Bhagwat said India's tradition sought to unite people rather than divide them and maintained that the country had historically tried to help even those who differed from it or caused it difficulties. Referring to his recent visits to New York, Toronto and London, Bhagwat said people there and Indian entrepreneurs had sought the dharmic view on business and wealth creation. Bhagwat said they were concerned that their businesses were generating not only happiness but also suffering. He questioned the pursuit of excessive wealth at the cost of family life, citing the example of people leaving home at 5 am and returning at midnight in order to earn more money, only to find that their children hardly know the people who come to their place on holidays. He said such an imbalance in development was unhealthy, comparing it with the growth of only one part of the body while the rest remained unchanged. Explaining the 'dharmic' approach to business, Bhagwat said it involved giving back to society. He cited the tradition of business communities building 'dharamshalas' and charitable hospitals, where people were provided services without being charged, comparing them with corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of today. He said 'dharma' flourished through human sacrifice and giving, and quoted a Sanskrit saying to stress the importance of sacrifice for fulfilment in material and spiritual life. Bhagwat said there was no restriction on earning wealth but people should retain only what was necessary for themselves and share the rest with others. Your life should move forward in such a way that the lives of others also move forward, he said, stressing that one's livelihood should not cause suffering to others. Citing a Buddhist teaching, Bhagwat said 'dharma' meant refraining from causing pain to others, earning one's livelihood efficiently and ensuring that one's earnings did not come by depriving or harming others. Bhagwat said India had remained economically prosperous for about 1,600 years without the kind of environmental damage seen today and referred to the country's long agricultural tradition. He also urged the youth to become successful as well as purposeful and contribute to creating a world marked by happiness and peace. Around 300 scholars, teachers, researchers and religious leaders are participating in the Yuva Dharma Sansad, organisers said. The RSS has stepped up its outreach to Gen Z following a massive students' protest over NEET exam paper leaks at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, which brought youth discontent to the fore and led to the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will attend the concluding session on September 19. The three-day event, organised by Sevagya Sansthanam, is the sixth edition of the Yuva Dharma Sansad, following events in Kashi, Ayodhya, Mathura, Haridwar and Kanchipuram. The event will be held in Dwarka next year.

RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat explains Dharma versus religion at Yuva Dharma Sansad

Digital Desk | Ujjain, Sep 18 (IANS) Dharma does not bind a person but liberates them, RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat told young participants on the second day of the three-day Yuva Dharma Sansad (Youth Religious Parliament) held at Gita Bhawan in Ujjain on Friday. Clarifying the difference between Dharma and religion, he said the English word religion, derived from religio meaning to bind or tie, is not synonymous with Dharma. Bhagwat inaugurated the days proceedings by lighting a ceremonial lamp and leading the singing of Vande Mataram. He noted that the English dictionary has no precise equivalent for the word Dharma, adding that Western culture often strips away the ritualistic aspects of Dharma and therefore labels it merely as religion. Recalling the thoughts of Swami Vivekananda, the RSS chief described India as a nation deeply rooted in Dharma. He advised the youth that to absorb new ideas, one must first still and empty the mind, as learning becomes impossible until old notions are cleared away. Bhagwat stressed that Dharma is not meant only for the elderly but serves as a guiding force to show the younger generation the right path in life. He observed that the final five verses of the Mahabharata encapsulate the essence of the entire epic and that it is through Dharma that one attains Kama (desire), Artha (prosperity) and Moksha (liberation). He said that instead of lamenting over matters of religion, embracing Dharma with true understanding makes life meaningful. Causing no pain to others is the highest form of righteousness, while inflicting pain is a grave sin, he added. Approximately 1,700 young students from across the country, along with more than 300 scholars, teachers, researchers and religious leaders, are taking part in the event. Renowned screenwriter and lyricist Manoj Muntashir was also present. The programme features discussions on contemporary themes such as the existential concept of Dharma, Artificial Intelligence, and the conflict between information and ideas. This is the sixth edition of the Yuva Dharma Sansad, organised by Sevagya Sansthanam under the guidance of Acharya Mithileshanandinisharan Ji Maharaj, Peethadhishwar of Siddha Peeth Hanumat Niwas, Ayodhya. Earlier editions were held in Kashi, Ayodhya, Mathura, Haridwar and Kanchipuram, with the next scheduled in Dwarka. Among those present at the inaugural session were Prof. Shrinivasa Varkhedi, Vice-Chancellor of the Central Sanskrit University, and Ashish Kumar Ashu, President of Sevagya Sansthanam. Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Avdheshanand Giri Ji Maharaj of Juna Akhara, Smriti Anantlakshmi of Anadi Foundation, and J. Nandakumar, National Convener of Pragya Pravah, are also guiding the youth through lecture sessions.

PM Modi taking India towards league of developed nations: Chandrababu Naidu

Digital Desk | Amaravati, Sep 17 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said on Thursday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking India towards the league of developed nations. Participating in the VaranasiVadnagar Seva Sankalp Abhiyan programme in Varanasi on Thursday to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modis 25 years in public service, he said PM Modi believes that serving the people is serving the nation. According to a release by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) here, Chandrababu Naidu called Kashi the karmabhoomi of PM Modi, who has been elected to the Lok Sabha from Varanasi three times. Kashi has not merely elected a leader for Varanasi, but has given the country a leader, he added. The TDP chief, who began his speech with a few Hindi words, said the country was changing and progressing. The Chief Minister claimed that under Prime Minister Modis leadership, 25 crore people have come out of poverty and 80 crore people are receiving free foodgrains. Through schemes such as Jal Jeevan Mission and AMRUT, drinking-water facilities have been extended to four crore households, he said. PM-KISAN is benefiting 11 crore farmers, with funds being transferred directly into their bank accounts without intermediaries, he said. At a time when several countries were facing crises, Prime Minister Modi provided leadership that protected the interests of 140 crore Indians, the Chief Minister said. Chandrababu Naidu said Prime Minister Modi encouraged the production of 200 crore COVID vaccine doses and India supplied COVID vaccines free of cost to 101 countries, describing it as an expression of humanitarian concern. Policies such as Atmanirbhar Bharat and Vocal for Global strengthened the Make in India concept. India had earlier depended on imports for defence equipment, but has now reached a stage where it is exporting defence equipment, he said. The Prime Minister has understood emerging technologies such as space, drones, quantum technology, semiconductors and robotics, and is creating opportunities for the youth through them, Chandrababu said. The Chief Minister said that while youth earlier largely depended on employment, India now has 2.20 lakh start-ups, enabling young people to become job creators. India ranks third among countries with strong start-up ecosystems, he said. Naidu described the Prime Ministers initiatives for womens welfare and empowerment as significant, citing Beti BachaoBeti Padhao and Lakhpati Didi. Ujjwala provides access to clean fuel, Mudra facilitates access to finance, and self-help groups are strengthening confidence and economic participation among women. The Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, providing 33 per cent reservation for women in legislatures, would be a game changer, he said. Chandrababu Naidu said India had emerged as a strong global power and cited Operation Sindoor as an example of the countrys response to security challenges. He congratulated Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for the conduct of Operation Sindoor. Recalling his own experience of confronting Naxalism, he said the country had now made significant progress in eliminating Naxalism and Maoism. The Chief Minister praised the completion of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, saying that a long-pending aspiration had been realised. He said the Andhra Pradesh government proposes to construct a Lord Venkateswara temple in Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Rama. He appealed to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to allot 10 acres of land for the construction of the Venkateswara temple. The VaranasiVadnagar Seva Yatra was launched as part of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, which connects Varanasi, Prime Minister Modis parliamentary constituency, with Vadnagar, his birthplace. Earlier, Chandrababu Naidu offered prayers to Lord Kasiviswanath along with Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Chirag Paswan, and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Ravie Dubey defends Ranbir Kapoors Lord Rama casting amid Ramayana debate; says, Ranbir is simply the best we have, he is a superstar of epic proportions

The casting of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwaris Ramayana has been a topic of discussion since the release of the films first teaser. While some viewers have questioned whether the actor fits the role, others have responded positively to his appearance as the revered mythological character. Amid the ongoing debate, Ravie Dubey, who plays Lakshman in the film, has spoken in support of his co-star and shared his experience of working with him. In an interview with Variety India, Ravie Dubey praised Ranbir Kapoors approach to his work and described him as simply the best. Addressing the criticism around Ranbirs casting as Lord Rama, Ravie said, I think Ranbir is simply the best we have. He is a superstar of epic proportions, but what has stayed with me even more is the human being and the artiste I have witnessed at close range. The sincerity with which he comes onto a set is unparalleled. His work ethic, etiquette, intensity and preparation; I had heard so much about these things, but I had the privilege of witnessing them firsthand. Ravie further spoke about Ranbirs personality away from his stardom and added, And alongside all of that is this incredibly grounded, warm and inclusive nature. There is no weight of his stardom in the way he interacts with people. I find that enormously inspiring. It is my great good fortune to be a part of this journey alongside Ranbir, Namit (Malhotra), Nitesh (Tiwari), Yash, Sai Pallavi and every single person associated with Ramayana. Ranbir had earlier confirmed that he will be seen in the dual roles of Lord Rama and Lord Parshurama in Ramayana. Speaking about playing both characters in an interview with Collider, he said, Lord Vishnu had different avatars. Lord Rama was an avatar, and Lord Parshurama was an avatar before Lord Rama. Just to get the opportunity, you know, how I got to play Lord Rama, to also play Lord Parshurama was fantastic. About Ramayana Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is based on Valmikis ancient Sanskrit epic and follows the life and trials of Lord Rama, the Prince of Ayodhya. The film features Ranbir Kapoor, Ravie Dubey in his film debut as Lakshman, Sai Pallavi, Sunny Deol, Yash in his Hindi film debut, Anupam Kher, Kajal Aggarwal, Rakul Preet Singh, Vivek Oberoi, Kunal Kapoor, Adinath Kothare, Arun Govil, Indira Krishnan and Lara Dutta. The two-part film is backed by Namit Malhotra and Yash under Prime Focus Studios, Monster Mind Creations and DNEG. Mounted on a reported budget of Rs 4,000 crores, Ramayana is slated to release in two parts, with the first instalment scheduled for Diwali 2026 and the second part arriving on Diwali 2027.

Yogi Cabinet's big push: 23 proposals cleared across infrastructure, jobs, education and welfare

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 15 (IANS) The Cabinet meeting chaired by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at his official residence on Tuesday, approved 23 important proposals aimed at strengthening infrastructure, education, employment, agriculture, healthcare, industrial development and public welfare. State Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna and Transport Minister Dayashankar Singh briefed the media on the decisions. A major decision was the approval of a revised proposal for the 15.172-km Chitrakoot Link Expressway, a six-lane, access-controlled greenfield expressway to be constructed in Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) mode at an estimated cost of Rs 1,008.67 crore. The entire expenditure will be borne by the Uttar Pradesh government, and a global bid will be invited to select the construction agency. The project is expected to improve connectivity from Bundelkhand to Chitrakoot Dham and boost tourism. The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet also approved a proposal to develop primary schools under the Basic Education Council as smart schools, aimed at improving education infrastructure and providing modern learning facilities to students. Under the Mukhyamantri Krishak Samriddhi Yojana, small and marginal farmers will be eligible for long-term loans of up to Rs 6 lakh at an annual interest rate of six per cent through the Uttar Pradesh Cooperative Gram Vikas Bank Ltd.

Agniveers who complete four years of service will receive the reservation within their respective category. Their four-year service will be counted for determining the maximum age, along with a further relaxation of up to three years. The overall reservation ceiling will remain within 50 per cent. The Uttar Pradesh government had earlier approved similar 20 per cent reservation for former Agniveers in police recruitment. The induction of former Agniveers as jail warders is expected to strengthen prison security, particularly in facilities housing terrorists and notorious criminals, by utilising their training, discipline and operational experience. The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet further approved cashless medical treatment for Provincial Armed Constabulary. The scheme will cover Prantiya Rakshak Dal (PRD) volunteers and their dependent family members under the Mukhyamantri PRD Cashless Medical Scheme. It also approved an increase in PRD duty allowance rates. To promote manufacturing and employment, the Uttar Pradesh Toy Manufacturing Promotion Policy-2025 was approved. Other industrial decisions included establishment of a 120 KLPD ethanol plant at Chhata Sugar Company Ltd in Mathura through concession-cum-lease, and approval of an MoU among the state government, Fisheries Department and WorldFish for implementation of a WorldFish project in eastern Uttar Pradesh. For national security, around 65 acres of barren land in Pure Lal Khan village of Milkipur tehsil in Ayodhya will be allotted free of cost to the Centre for an NSG Regional Centre. The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet also approved enhanced financial powers for engineering department officials, exemption from stamp duty and registration fees on lease deeds of up to 10 years, amendments to the policy governing Automated Testing Stations for vehicle fitness, and an additional Rs 25 per quintal margin money for fair-price shop dealers based on foodgrain distributed. In urban development, funds were approved for developing Lucknow, Unnao and Raebareli under the Mukhyamantri Shahri Vistaarikaran Yojana, besides approval of a proposal concerning completion of the sanctioned high-tech township project in Lucknow.

However, Sri Lanka made a comeback in the latter part of the innings, with Chamari Athapaththu, Mithali Ayodhya and Chamudi Praboda taking wickets, while the Women in Blue lost Mandhana and Deepti to run-outs. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur struggled after promoting herself to No. 3, as incumbent one-drop Pratika Rawal was ested for G Kamalini in the final. The skipper made only 14. Playing her first match of the tournament, Kamalini gave the final flourish with a five-ball 15, including a six and a four, to take the Women in Blue to 183/5. For Sri Lanka, Ayodhya, Athapaththu and Praboda each took one wicket. India and Sri Lanka exchanged blows in the first over, as Mithali Ayodhya bowled a few impressive Yorkers, with the two Indian openers keeping them out. Sri Lanka made errors in their lines and lengths as Shafali and Mandhana began punishing the opposition bowlers. After starting with four dot balls, Shafali hit three fours off her next six balls, while Mandhana also kept finding boundaries. Shafali hit the first six of the final when she smashed joint-leading wicket-taker of the tournament, Athapaththu, over long-on in the fifth over, and the ball went for 20 runs. However, left-arm finger-spinner Sugandika Kumari bowled a two-run sixth over, as the Women in Blue ended the powerplay on 57/0. Shafali quickly brought up her 21st T20I fifty and the fastest in Women's Asia Cup history in the eighth over, smashing Kavisha Dilhari for a four. Mandhana followed suit, racing to her 36th T20I fifty in the 11th over. The Indian openers notched up a huge 129-run opening stand, which came to an end when Shafali was caught at covers by Athapaththu off left-arm spinner Chamudi Praboda. The 129-run stand is now the highest in a Women's T20 tournament final, surpassing the previous best of 120, set by Hayley Matthews and Stafanie Taylor in the 2016 Women's T20 World Cup win over Australia. It is also the highest in the Women's T20 Asia Cup for any wicket, surpassing the 128-run stand between Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma against the UAE in 2022. While India dominated the first 12 overs, the defending champions made a comeback when Shafali and Mandhana were dismissed in successive overs. Mandhana was run out for the third time in this tournament after she sacrificed herself for captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who cut one to point as a mix-up caused the wicket. While Harmanpreet promoted herself to No.3, Ghosh also came out to bat at No.4, looking to add some flourish. Ghosh hit a four and a six but was dismissed by Athapaththu in the 18th over, top-edging a sweep to covers. With this, Athapaththu surpassed Deepti to become the tournament's highest wicket-taker, with the Indian yet to bowl. Sri Lanka's comeback got another shot in the arm when captain Harmanpreet holed out to deep midwicket for 14, while Deepti Sharma was run out off the very next ball, as India were 167/5 after 19 overs. However, Kamalini delivered the final bit of fireworks with a four and a six off the final two balls as India took 16 off the last over to finish with a strong total.

As Trinamool factions battle for official recognition before upcoming bypolls, questions arise on Mamata contesting again

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 13 (IANS) Trinamool Congress founder Mamata Banerjees possible return as a member of the West Bengal Assembly has continued to dominate discussions, even as the jury has yet to decide which of the two current factions is the real party. The Election Commission on Saturday gave time to both groups, one under Mamata Banerjee -- often referred to as the Kalighat Trinamool from her home address and the other, led by former Left leader Ritabrata Banerjee, to put forward their respective claims for the original name and party symbol. Both are seeking the poll bodys recognition before by-elections to two Assembly seats in West Bengal -- left vacant after the respective winning candidates resigned -- are held next month. As per a recent Election Commission communique, the repoll will be held on October 6, with the last date for making nominations being Wednesday, just four days hence. While the Rejinagar Assembly Constituency was left vacant after the controversial Babri Mosque replica maker Humayun Kabir resigned, retaining his Naoda seat, Nandigram was vacated by current Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari for Bhabanipur, where he defeated his predecessor and once-mentor Mamata Banerjee. Incidentally, Mamata Banerjee lost to him from Nandigram in 2021 and had to subsequently seek re-election from Bhabanipur to become Chief Minister for the third successive term. Kabir has already extended an invitation to her to contest from Rejinagar, asserting that he can ensure her victory from the seat. He was earlier with the Trinamool Congress, but was suspended following his contentious decision to build a mosque modelled on Ayodhya's Babri Masjid at Rejinagar in West Bengals Murshidabad district. He went on to launch the Aam Janata Unnayan Party and contested from two seats simultaneously. In December last year, four months before the Assembly elections, he laid the foundation stone for the replica. Meanwhile, members of the Ritabrata faction have insisted that they would not field a candidate in Nandigram if Mamata Banerjee chose to contest herself. Ritabrata Banerjee, now the Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, himself endorsed this, though quipping that a win would mean that she could enter the state legislature only through repolls. He was referring to her two successive losses, with a repoll ensuring her entry in the earlier case. Mamata Banerjee, or her camp, has yet to conclusively issue a statement on her contesting the upcoming by-elections. It is, however, almost certain that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will hold an edge in Nandigram in the absence of a candidate from the Ritabrata faction. His faction can split anti-Mamata Banerjee votes, where those still not supporting the BJP would have an option to exercise their franchise against the previous Trinamool regime. As of now, the faction under the feisty former Chief Minister stands reportedly somewhat jaded following this years election loss, subsequent crossing over by several leaders, MPs, and MLAs, and arrests or legal proceedings initiated against many, including Mamata Banerjees nephew and her partys General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee.

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 12 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, on Saturday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's years in public service, from Chief Minister of Gujarat to the Head of State, calling it a glimpse of new India. Addressing a press conference, the Chief Minister said the government and the BJP's state unit has prepared a list of programmes that will be undertaken for a month, from PM Modi's birthday on September 17, till marking the completion of his 25 years in public service on October 7, being celebrated as 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan'. October 7 is when PM Modi will complete 25 years in governance, including his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister and as the Prime Minister of the country. So the party and the govt has prepared a list of programmes to celebrate these glorious years, CM Yogi said. He referred to PM Modi's years in public service as a vision that has led to successful implementation of all schemes across various fields, till the last person is served. Gujarat was like any other state before 2001, which faced drought, connectivity and drinking water issues and other challenges. PM Modi, during his tenure as the Chief Minister, ensured the availability of proper drinking water till the last village in the state. During his 13 years of tenure, he transformed Gujarat into a welfare state, a centre of attraction for the world, which is today considered as a model for infrastructure and technology, he said. CM Yogi termed PM Modi's tenure since 2014, as a glimpse of new India with visions of 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat', 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and 'Viksit Bharat'. For this, he ensured the construction of world-class infrastructure, welfare schemes, produced a model that established India from 'Fragile Five' to 'Top Five' economies of the world, he stated. The Chief Minister asserted that under PM Modi's leadership, India has established itself as a nation that is capable of providing leadership to the world. More than three dozen countries have conferred their highest honour on PM Modi. Moreover, the G20 leaders have hailed the successful completion of the Summit and its related events in the country, under the Prime Minister's leadership, he said. Further, he lashed out at the then regime for opposing the consecration ceremony of the Somnath Temple, accusing it of insulting India's heritage and seeding the mindset of slavery among people. Only after 2014, India could come out of the mindset of slavery and move towards the vision of 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat', he said while invoking the construction of Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Ayodhya's Ram Temple and organisation of the Mahakumbh Mela. He also praised PM Modi's leadership towards advancement of railway infrastructure, including electrification, trains like 'Namo Bharat', 'Amrit Bharat' and construction of new stations. The construction of waterways, ports, airports, highways, and public transport, etc, has become the backbone of India's development, he added. He further said: During the Congress regime only one AIIMS was built, Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji took it to seven, while PM Modi took its number to 23. While the vaccine for encephalitis took around 100 years to reach India, the Covid vaccine was produced here itself within nine months, CM Yogi added. Detailing the list of programmes, the UP Chief Minister said: Apart from distribution of fruits at hospitals on the morning of September 17, blood donation camps will be organised. A 'yatra' is also being organised under which holy water from Vadnagar in Gujarat will be brought to Kashi, while holy water from 10 separate rivers will be taken from Kashi to Vadnagar. It will start from September 17 and reach its destination on October 7. The participants will also interact will the public every day during the course of the 'yatra'. He added that various competitions will also be held among school students, under the campaign, who will be felicitated on October 7.

Some sections tarnishing Sanatan Dharma by spreading hatred: Digvijaya Singh

Digital Desk | Datia, Sep 11 (IANS) Senior Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh on Friday said that some sections were tarnishing Sanatan Dharma by spreading religious hatred and asserted that he opposed anyone using religion to create divisions in society. What is happening is that in this country, some sections are tarnishing Sanatan Dharma and spreading religious hatred. I do not want to name those organisations. They exist among Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians as well. I oppose anyone who spreads hatred in the name of religion, Singh said at a press conference in Datia. The veteran Congress leader made this statement while explaining the objective behind his proposed 'Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra' from Ujjain to Ayodhya. During his visit to Datia, Singh visited the Pitambara Peeth and offered prayers to Goddess Baglamukhi. He also offered jalabhishek at Bankhandeshwar Mahadev temple and stood in a queue along with common devotees. He later visited the residence and fort of newly elected Congress MLA Ghanshyam Singh, where he met party workers before addressing the media. Singh said the essence of Sanatan Dharma should be understood through the teachings of Adi Shankaracharya and saint-poet Kabir, and maintained that religion should not be used to spread hatred or hostility. The Congress leader said true Sanatan teaches tolerance, compassion and harmony among all communities. He had earlier announced that the 'Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra' would begin from Ujjain on October 20, coinciding with Vijayadashami, and proceed to Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, covering over 1,000 km. Singh has said the yatra is neither in support of nor against any political party and is aimed at protecting transparency, truth and devotees' faith while promoting social harmony. The Congress leader has invited people to register for participation in the proposed yatra from Ujjain to Ayodhya.

Controversy Erupts Over Digvijay Singhs Sanatan Swabhimaan Yatra in Ayodhya

Digvijaya Singh announces Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra to Ayodhya; BJP accuses Cong of 'appeasement politics'

Digital Desk | Bhopal, Sep 10 (IANS) Amid controversy surrounding allegations of donation theft at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member Digvijaya Singh has announced the 'Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra', which will begin in Ujjain on October 20, coinciding with Dussehra, and proceed towards Ayodhya. While announcing the march, Digvijaya Singh described it as a journey from 'Shivdham' (the abode of Lord Shiva) to 'Ramdham' (the abode of Lord Ram), saying that the significance of Dussehra inspired him to undertake the yatra. Dussehra symbolises the victory of 'Dharma' (righteousness) over 'Adharma' (unrighteousness), and it is with this spirit that I decided to undertake the march... The objective of the march is not to oppose any political party or individual, but to hold a mirror to those allegedly involved in the misuse of devotees' faith and the funds offered at the temple, he said. Digvijaya Singh levelled serious allegations against the government over the alleged misuse of offerings made to the Ram Mandir Trust and claimed that the government was attempting to shield Champat Rai. The Congress leader also pointed out that allegations of irregularities had implicated certain individuals associated with the trust, which was constituted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He maintained that any alleged misuse of funds donated by devotees at a major centre of faith could not be accepted and stressed that contributions made by devotees must be handled and utilised in a transparent manner. Singh said the proposed march was not intended as an attack on any particular political party or individual, but was rooted in Sanatan tradition, religious faith and respect for devotees. He said the allegations surrounding donations made to the Ram Temple would be raised before the public through the yatra. During the announcement, Singh also referred to his political history and recalled that despite his opposition to the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), he had participated in the 'Ram Shila Pujan' campaign during 1988-89. The announcement drew a sharp response from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which accused Singh of using the Ram Temple issue for political purposes and urged him to first question Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his absence from the Ayodhya temple. Uttar Pradesh Minister Rakesh Sachan, speaking to IANS, said Singh himself had not visited the Ram Temple to offer prayers and questioned the basis of his criticism. He (Digvijaya Singh) never even went there to offer prayers. Those involved in the theft of donations have already faced action after the Chief Minister constituted a full-fledged inquiry committee. A CEO has also been appointed there in a new arrangement. CM Yogi has consistently been concerned that no such incident should take place, Sachan said. Bihar BJP President Sanjay Saraogi also hit out at Digvijaya Singh and said the Congress leader should first ask Rahul Gandhi why senior leaders of his party had not visited the Ram Temple in Ayodhya to pay obeisance. Digvijaya Singh should first ask Rahul Gandhi why his party's senior leader has not visited the Ram Temple in Ayodhya to pay obeisance even once. Don't these people feel ashamed? Saraogi told IANS. Saraogi said the Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, acted promptly after allegations regarding the theft of donations surfaced and constituted a committee to look into the matter. This is just an example of the Congress party's appeasement politics. Next year, Uttar Pradesh is going to polls, and hence now they are remembering Lord Ram out of nowhere, Saraogi added. JD(U) National General Secretary Shyam Rajak also questioned Digvijaya Singh's reference to Sanatan while attacking the Congress leader over his decision to launch the yatra. Which Sanatan is Digvijaya Singh talking about? He should first put his own house (Congress party) in order and take care of his own family, Rajak said.

Mafia controlled supply of nutritious food to 'Anganwadis' before 2017: CM Yogi in Ayodhya

Digital Desk | Ayodhya, Sep 8 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said that under the erstwhile Samajwadi Party (SP) government, the supply of nutritious food to Anganwadi centres in the state was controlled by 'Mafias'. CM Adityanath made the remark while was attending an event to honour Anganwadi workers in Ayodhya. The Chief Minister announced several schemes for Anganwadi workers in the state, including an annual health coverage through a cashless insurance scheme worth Rs 5 lakh. The monthly honorarium for Anganwadi workerswhich had previously been increased to cover an 8-month periodis now being raised to Rs. 12,000 per month. The honorarium for Anganwadi helpers is now being increased to Rs. 6,000, he said, adding that smartphones will also be provided to all workers. Stating that Anganwadi centres are now technologically equipped, CM Aditynath said: I still remember the situation of Anganwadi centres nine years back. They were worn-out, disorganised. Proper food didn't reach the centres, leading to disrepute of the Anganwadi staff. This cheating was carried out by the then government, he said while alleging that the nutritious food meant for the Anganwadi centres was controlled by 'Mafias' back then. Targeting the SP, he added, The reach of the Mafia was such that it could influence any system. No body could dare speak before it. As a result, the Anganwadi centres were not taken care of. There were complains that it didn't get nutritious food on time. The centres had to bear the consequences of somebody's else's actions. He alleged that the previous SP government and the mafia ogether destroyed the system due to which Anganwadi workers were held responsible. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comparison of Anganwadi women to that of Lord Krishna's foster mother 'Yashoda' in 2014, the UP CM said: In order to show respect towards your work, I have come to start these schemes from Ayodhya, the sacred land of Lord Ram. The Chief Minister further claimed that before 2017, the Anganwadi centres in the state lacked basic facilities, saying: The then government lacked sympathy, money went into the hands of mafias, and as a result the Anganwadi centres remained worn-out. CM Adityanath asserted that his government has given an organised look to more than 70,000 Anganwadi centres in the state. We have asked to ensure separate infrastructure for each Anganwadi centre in the state for a healthy childhood, he said, adding that these centres will be the foundation for PM Modi's 'Viksit Bharat' vision. Moreover, the Chief Minister also spoke about the development in Ayodhya under the BJP-led government. Ten years back, there was no electricity, roads, cleanliness or any other facility in Ayodhya. There was anarchy all around, he claimed. Yogi Adityanath alleged that before the BJP came to power in the state, electricity was controlled by the syndicate in Uttar Pradesh. Further, he accused Samajwadi Party of opposing the developmental works carried out by the BJP in the temple town, saying: They (SP) were against the construction of roads, railway station and even airport in Ayodhya dham. Referring to the SP as opposed to development, he accused the party as well as the Congress of opposing the construction of the Ram Temple.

Won't tolerate any challenge to our existence: Ayodhya seer backs Dhirendra Shastri's 'Raghuvar's nation' remarks

Ayodhya, Sep 6 (IANS) A fresh war of words has erupted between Hindu seers and All India Imam Association President Maulana Sajid Rashidi following remarks attributed to Bageshwar Dham head Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri over the cultural and religious identity of India. Jagadguru Paramhans Acharya, Peethadhishwar of Tapasvi Chhawani in Ayodhya, strongly reacted to the controversy and called for vigilance among followers of Sanatan Dharma, while asserting that religious differences should not be allowed to threaten the countrys cultural identity. The controversy stems from remarks made by Shastri during a religious discourse in Kolkata, West Bengal. Shastri was quoted as saying that the country belongs to Raghuvar and Lord Ram rather than Akbar, while adding that the Quran and the Bible are respected in India out of regard for humanity. He had maintained that attempts to erase Indian culture in order to promote Christianity or Islam would not be acceptable. Rashidi had expressed displeasure over the remarks and said that they can do the construction according to Raghuvars vision as they are in power; when his preferred people will be in power, they will change the things. The exchange is a warning sign for followers of Sanatan Dharma. There is a need to remain vigilant and formulate a strategy to protect the communitys cultural interests, Acharya alleged. We are liberal and wish well for everyone, but we will not tolerate any challenge to our very existence, Acharya said, according to the statement. The latest confrontation comes against the backdrop of a series of contentious exchanges between Rashidi and Shastri. Earlier in August, too, Rashidi drew criticism over remarks concerning participants in the Kanwar Yatra. Reports said he described people involved in alleged incidents of vandalism, attacks on police and other disorderly conduct as terrorists and drug addicts.
