BHOPAL: Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has drawn flak for his lame horses remark made at the Madhya Pradesh Congress convention in Bhopal on Tuesday. In a post on social media platform X on Thursday, international para swimmer and Padma Shri awardee Satendra Singh Lohiya voiced his strong objection to the remark by Gandhi, saying it was not only 'insensitive' but also 'legally objectionable'. Hinting at minimising the role of inactive and jaded leaders and promoting active and committed ones in the state, Gandhi had said, We must identify and segregate race horses, wedding horses and lame horses. The race horses will be promoted, the wedding horses will be set aside for 'weddings', while the time has come for the lame horses to retire. In response, Lohiya wrote, Im an international level para swimmer and a Divyang (specially-abled) and also a responsible citizen of the country. In a recent public statement in Bhopal, he (Gandhi) used the word langda, which hurt me a lot. The word is not only insensitive, but according to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016, this terminology has been abolished and is legally considered objectionable. This Act was passed by the Parliament with the purpose of giving Divyangjan a place of respect and dignity in the society. We were given a positive word like Divyang by the PM Narendra Modi, which reflects our capabilities, not our challenges. In such a situation when the country hears such an insensitive word from a national leader, it hurts the sentiments of not just one person, but the entire Divyang community, Lohiya posted. I dont know in which context he (Gandhi) used the word, but I request him to clarify on this matter and avoid using such language in future, keeping in mind the sentiments of specially-abled people. He is requested to take this matter seriously and give an appropriate response, respecting the sentiments of Divyang people of the country, he added in the post. 'Lame horses need to retire': Rahul Gandhi launches campaign to revive Congress in BJP-ruled MP Later in the day, Lohiya also confirmed that he was requested by some of his contacts (local Congress leaders) to remove the post, but said he wont do it till Rahul Gandhi issues a clarification about the remark. Im not a politician, Im an international para swimmer, who has dedicated two decades of life to swimming and the cause of the Divyang people. Not just Rahul Gandhi, I too have taken out a yatra for the cause of Divyangs from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. I cant take any insults against Divyangs, Lohiya told journalists on Thursday. The Indore-based Lohiya, who hails from Bhind district of Gwalior-Chambal region, became the first para swimmer in 2018 to successfully cross the English Channel. Having participated in seven national and three international para swimming meets, Lohiya has won 20 medals, including five golds. He was honoured with the prestigious Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award in 2020 and four years later awarded the Padmashri. Lohiyas social media post expressing displeasure with the Rae Bareli MPs remark came a day after the Divyang Adhikar Mahasangh, a Jaipur-based advocacy group, formally registered a protest over Gandhis remark and wrote to the chief commissioner for persons with disabilities, government of India and the chief election commissioner. In a related development, Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, during a visit to his home city Gwalior on Thursday, slammed Gandhi for using a term allegedly demeaning to people with disabilities (PwDs) and reminded him of how Prime Minister Narendra Modi had coined the word 'divyangjan' for them.
BHOPAL: Has the rabid animal that bit 17 people in a single day, leading to the deaths of six, died in Barwani district of southwestern Madhya Pradesh? If the state forest department is to be believed, a jackal whose carcass was found in a dry well outside Limbai village on Thursday is the same animal whose bites on May 5 caused the deaths of two women and four men later. Weve been probing the serial bites right since May 5, when the 17 villagers were bitten by the animal in Limbai. The statements of those who either saw the animal or were the victims of its attack, indicate that it was jackal. The jackal whose carcass has been found in the dry well outside Limbai village, is the same one, particularly as its hind legs are tied. Further probe revealed that villagers, after the May 5 attack, spotted the jackal and killed it. But out of fear of getting penalized as per law for killing a wild animal, they didnt report it, DFO-Barwani Ashish Bansod said. The 17 people were bitten by the animal between 4 am and 5 am on May 5, but since then there havent been any such incidents. The primary examination of the jackals carcass suggests that its around 25-30 days old, which matches with the timing of the serial bites. Still our vets are taking samples from the carcasss jaw to establish whether it was the same rabies-infected animal or not. As a precautionary measure, the patrolling by our staff in and around the village will continue and weve also kept the cages still in place to rule out whether more such animals are there or not, Bansod added. The residents of Limbai village, however, differ with the DFOs claim. Its not the same animal which bit 17 people, most of them in their sleep. What weve been told by the victims and others who saw that animal on May 5 is that it wasnt a jackal, but instead a hyena. There are still hyenas being sighted in Limbai and neighbouring villages. Until the report of the samples taken from the dead jackal is out, we wont buy the claim made by the forest department, the village sarpanchs representative Rakesh Jarmade said. Another Limbai village resident Parasram Khanna concurred with Rakesh. Its not the same animal as that animal was certainly a hyena. The forest department personnel are trying to declare the carcass as that of the attacker animal, just to rid themselves of the onerous task of tracking and capturing the rabid animal, which is a hyena. Not ready to buy the forest department claim, residents are maintaining a vigil, patrolling in the village and neighbouring areas in the nocturnal hours. Back on May 5, a mysterious rabid animal had bitten 17 villagers sleeping outside their house or busy in early morning chores between 4 am and 5 am in Limbai village in Rajpur block of Barwani district. The villagers bitten by the animal were administered the required anti-rabies vaccines as per the necessary medical protocols, but six of them died in 11 days (between May 23 and June 2). With the villagers having died even after being administered the anti-rabies vaccine, the Barwani district collector Guncha Sanobar ordered that the samples of anti-rabies vaccines be sent for efficacy testing to the designated national drug testing lab in Kasauli (Himachal Pradesh). The administration has already announced compensation of Rs 8 lakh each to the six bereaved families.

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

1984 Bhopal gas tragedy: SC refuses urgent hearing on plea against waste disposal
The Supreme Court declined an urgent hearing regarding the incineration of hazardous waste from the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy, which resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries. The court referenced previous rejections by the Madhya Pradesh High Court and its own prior refusal to intervene.
Sudhanshu Trivedi, a BJP MP, has strongly criticized Rahul Gandhi for his comments on Operation Sindoor. Trivedi condemned Gandhi's comparison of the briefing to a surrender. He highlighted the contrast between the all-party delegation and Gandhi's statements. Trivedi questioned Gandhi's motives and linked his remarks to Pakistani narratives. Gandhi's original comments were made at a Congress event in Bhopal.
'Lame horses need to retire': Rahul Gandhi launches campaign to revive Congress in BJP-ruled MP
BHOPAL: Demanding that 'lame horses' in the Madhya Pradesh Congress retire, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi launched the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan (Organisation Rejuvenation Campaign) on Tuesday to rebuild the party in the BJP-ruled state. Congress has no dearth of talent who can defeat the BJP, but their hands are tied, particularly as their voices arent heard properly in the party organization. Weve an army to fight and die for the Congresss cause. But some leaders keep on making irresponsible utterances. Some speak out of frustration, while some other elements do it as they are also working for the BJP, Gandhi said while addressing the state party convention after launching the Organization Rejuvenation Campaign in Bhopal. He hinted at minimising the role of inactive and jaded leaders and promoting the most active, young and committed ones in the partys organization in the state, where it suffered two successive drubbings in the 2023 assembly and 2024 national elections. The time has come to identify and segregate race, marriage and lame horses. The race horses will be promoted and the marriage horses will be set aside for marriages, he said. The lame horses need to retire now, have fodder, water and relax and stop disturbing the race horses. If they continue disturbing, action is imminent, Gandhi said in a clear warning to non-performing and jaded leaders, particularly the saboteurs. Detailing the campaign which has already been launched in Gujarat, he said, Through the campaign, the partys rebuilding is being started from individual district level. The exercise in Gujarat has led to two lists in each district -- one of potential district party chiefs and the other of existing district party presidents. Many existing district party chiefs were actually assistants of senior leaders, while the other list contained leaders for the future. We will replicate the same process in MP also. Gandhis statements assumed significance due to statements by some party leaders, including state leader of opposition Umang Singhar and ex-minister PC Sharma, about the presence of saboteurs working for the BJP within the party. Also, it could be a clear-cut warning to leaders like ex-MP and former MLA Laxman Singh (ex-CM Digvijaya Singh) who has been regularly embarrassing the party by speaking against its official line. This campaign will start from district level in the first phase based on the report submitted by the AICC observers for individual districts. Based on that report, 55 leaders (district chiefs of 55 districts) will be chosen for the party's and MPs future. In the subsequent phases, the same process will be initiated to select the best leaders at individual block, village panchayat and local body level, he said. After being selected as new district party committee chiefs, the new leaders performance will be measured objectively on various counts, including increase in partys vote in future elections (local bodies, assembly and parliamentary polls), their ability to fight on ground for deprived sections and Congress ideology and take everyone, particularly young leaders and workers along, rather than furthering their own politics, Gandhi maintained. He, however, added that accountability cannot come without power. After being chosen to head the party in districts, the new district party chiefs will have a voice in the selection of candidates for local bodies, assembly and national elections. The doors of the partys top leadership in Delhi will always be open to them, Gandhi said, clearly hinting towards actual decentralization of power in the state partys organization to individual district level. Before addressing the state party convention, Gandhi chaired a series of meetings with the state partys political affairs committee (PAC), MLAs and ex-MPs, 61 AICC observers appointed by the party for the state-wide campaign in each district and AICC and PCC delegates. In the meeting with MLAs and ex-MPs, an MLA from Rewa district Abhay Mishra (who was previously in the BJP) reportedly raised the issue of dearth of leaders in the party at the state level. Gandhi responded by saying, I can name at least 10 leaders sitting here, who have the potential to lead the party in the state. Briefing about the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan after Gandhis departure from Bhopal, the state party leadership, including party chief Jitu Patwari and AICC general secretary in-charge Harish Chaudhary, said, AICC has sent to MP 61 observers under the campaign, which was launched on pilot scale in Gujarat. The observers will work from June 10 to June 30, when each of them joined by three state party leaders will spend at least seven days in one district. Based on their deliberations with local party leaders, workers and commoners, they will send reports to the party leadership, based on which new district party chiefs will be chosen. The same experiment will be replicated in subsequent phases in individual assembly segments till gram panchayat and local ward level.

'Trump said surrender, Modi said yes sir: Rahul targets PM over handling of Indo-Pak standoff
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of having surrendered after a call with US President Donald Trump, amid Washingtons claim of brokering a truce between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor . Addressing the Congress Workers Convention in Bhopal, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said, A call came from Trump and Narendra ji immediately surrendered; history is witness to this. This is the character of BJP-RSS; they always bow down. Rahul stated that India broke Pakistan in 1971 despite America's threat. Drawing a contrast with past Congress leadership, he invoked former PM Indira Gandhi's actions during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, saying, There was a time in 1971, when Americas Seventh Fleet had come, but Indira Gandhi ji had said, 'I will do what I have to do'. The Congress Party does not surrender. Gandhiji, Nehruji, Sardar Patelji these are not people who surrender, but people who fight against superpowers, he added. surrender - , BJP-RSS character , 1971 Superpowers , pic.twitter.com/RhdQWdRBtV Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) June 3, 2025 Doubling down his attack on the BJP, Rahul said, I know the BJP-RSS people. If you put even a little pressure and give them just a slight push, they run away out of fear. Donald Trump called from there and said Narender surrender. Here Narendra Modi followed Trumps gesture by saying Yes Sir, he claimed. Notably, Trump has continued to claim that American intervention helped avert a potential nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan , after both countries agreed to a ceasefire following a series of clashes. India has consistently rejected the claim , stating that neither the US nor its threat of tariffs played any role in the ceasefire talks with Pakistan. From the time Operation Sindoor commenced on May 7 till the time of cessation on May 10, there was conversation between India and the US. But the issue of tariffs never came up in these discussions, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at the weekly press briefing on May 29. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had also clarified that India and Pakistan were very, very far away from a nuclear conflict during their recent clashes. In an interview to German newspaper FAZ , Jaishankar, in an apparent criticism of the West, said there has been a tendency to link everything in our part of the world to a uclear problem. The four-day India-Pakistan crisis and why civilian safety can't remain an afterthought
Rahul Gandhi visits Madhya Pradesh, holds meeting with senior Congress leaders
M.P. Congress president Jitu Patwari and former Chief Minister Kamal Nath accorded a warm welcome to Rahul Gandhi as he arrived at the airport in Bhopal
BHOPAL: Controversy erupted in Madhya Pradesh after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi offered floral tributes to the statue and portrait of former Prime Minister and his grandmother, Indira Gandhi, at Congress HQ in Bhopal without taking off his shoes. The incident took place just before the Leader of Opposition chaired series of meetings to launch the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan to rebuild the grand old Congress party in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh. Two ruling BJP leaders, including Madhya Pradesh CM Dr Mohan Yadav and state party spokesperson Dr Hitesh Bajpai, took a dig at Gandhi for offering floral tributes without taking off his shoes. Bajpai shared the video on the social media platform X in which Gandhi was seen offering tributes without removing his shoes. ? @RahulGandhi ? ? ! @Anurag_Dwary @DrMohanYadav51 pic.twitter.com/xUsbL56uzd Dr.Hitesh Bajpai MBBS, MD (@drhiteshbajpai) June 3, 2025 However, a video shared by State Congress chief and former MP minister Jitu Patwari shows Rahul taking off his shoes before offering tributes to the Late PM. CM Mohan Yadav said, The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha is here, everyone is welcomed here in a democracy. But offering floral tributes to his grandmother without even taking off his shoes did not go down well. It isn't in line with our tradition and culture. Reacting to the CMs remark, the state Congresss media wing head Mukesh Nayak said, We are not people who do too many rituals... throwing dust in the eyes in the name of sanskar, promoting religious fanaticism in the country in the name of sanskar, making fake people wear fake clothes and stand in the public in the name of sanskar... such times have ended in India. The public is fed up with it, Now there is only one thing: to create an egalitarian society and to think about everyone's development by keeping an inclusive approach. This is the ideology of Congress. Notably, the Congress party has suffered successive drubbings in the 2023 assembly and 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Madhya Pradesh is the second BJP-ruled state after Gujarat, where the Congress is launching the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan. Rahul Gandhi will hold a series of meetings with the state partys Political Affairs Committee (PAC), the MLAs and ex-MPs and the observers appointed for individual districts under the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan. He will also address the partys functionaries and workers from across the State, before leaving from Bhopal in the evening.

Cheetahs may find new home in Bundelkhand
BHOPAL: Cheetahs, known as the fastest animal on land, may start inhabiting the forests of Bundelkhand region by 2026. Efforts to create a suitable habitat have already begun, with plans to introduce these big cats to Madhya Pradeshs largest tiger reserve, the Veerangana Durgavati Tiger Reserve, within the next year and a half. Once introduced at the reserve, which is spread in Damoh and Sagar districts of Bundelkhand region besides parts of central MPs Narsinghpur district, the cheetahs will have not just one, but two co-predators -- leopards and tigers. They will also have smaller predators, including wolves, jackals and Asian wild dogs. Currently, the leopards are the lone co-predators for the Namibian and South African cheetahs and their Indian born cubs at MPs Kuno National Park. Leopards will be the prospective co-predators for two South African male coalition Prabhas and Pavak (once they are released into the open from their enclosures) at cheetahs second home, the Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary in Mandsaur district.
Congress begins internal cleanup in Madhya Pradesh to revive party structure
BHOPAL: Reeling from consecutive defeats in the 2023 Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections and the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the Congress is preparing for a major internal shake-up in Madhya Pradesh. As part of its upcoming organisational overhaul, the party plans to identify and expel internal saboteurs, or Bhitarghatis , accused of covertly aiding the ruling BJP. The initiative will form a core part of the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan, to be launched by senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Bhopal on June 3. An important aspect of the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan to be launched by Rahul Gandhi on June 3, will be to identify the Bhitarghatis (saboteurs) who have been damaging the party. Once identified till the development block level, such saboteurs will be shown the way out of the party, said Leader of Opposition and former minister Umang Singhar. He further emphasized that the Congress high command is serious about cleaning house. Our leader Rahul Gandhi has already made it clear that all those who, while being in the Congress, have been working against the party need to be identified and ousted... Only those who are committed to the party will now be promoted, Singhar added. The comments follow recent allegations from former Congress state vice president Damodar Yadav, who claimed that the BJP has cultivated sleeper cells within the Congress. According to Yadav, these elements played a significant role in the partys poor performance during the 2023 assembly elections. Rahul Gandhi will be in Bhopal on Tuesday to formally launch the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan in Madhya Pradeshtwo months after its rollout in Gujarat, another BJP-ruled state. During his visit, Gandhi is expected to hold at least five strategic meetings with various party wings. He will hold meetings with members of the state partys Political Affairs Committee (PAC), current MLAs and former MPs, AICC and PCC delegates/members, the 50 leaders from other states appointed as observers for each district under the campaign, and also chair a meeting of the state executive, a senior MP Congress leader told TNIE . As part of the campaign, 50 senior Congress leaders from states including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Rajasthan have been appointed as central observers. Each will oversee organisational restructuring in one Madhya Pradesh district, working in coordination with 34 local observers. These teams will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the partys grassroots network, identifying both weaknesses and potential. Based on these findings, efforts will be made to rebuild the Congress organization from the primary worker level upward in each district and development block. The party has confirmed that the Abhiyan will be an ongoing effort. A pilot phase of the initiative is already underway in Vidisha district, a traditional BJP stronghold that includes assembly segments represented by Union Agriculture Minister and former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. In Vidisha, 100150 specially trained Congress workers are living in villages, holding detailed discussions to understand local challenges and strategise revival efforts. The 15-day field exercise will culminate in a comprehensive report to be submitted to the partys state and central leadership. The Congress hopes that this grassroots-centred revamp, combined with a purge of disloyal elements, will help revive its fortunes in Madhya Pradesh ahead of future electoral battles.
No entry for Muslims at the gym: Bhopal sub-inspector's remarks trigger row
BHOPAL: A sub-inspector of the Madhya Pradesh police has been removed from active duty and attached to police lines after a video surfaced showing him instructing a gym owner to bar Muslim individuals from entering the premises. The 40-second clip, now widely shared on social media, shows Sub-Inspector Dinesh Sharma, posted at Ayodhya Nagar police station in Bhopal, seated with Bajrang Dal activists at a private gym. In the video, Sharma is heard telling the gym owner, Let me tell you clearly, no Muslim will come here (to the gym), neither for imparting training nor getting trained. Following the videos circulation, Bhopal polices Additional DCP Mahavir Singh confirmed that an internal inquiry has been initiated. An internal probe has been ordered and the concerned sub-inspector who was posted at Ayodhya Nagar police station now stands attached to the police line, Singh said. The incident is believed to have occurred several days ago when Bajrang Dal activists visited the gym in Ayodhya Nagar, objecting to the presence of Muslim trainers. Police were called to the scene to manage the situation, during which the video was reportedly recorded. The Bajrang Dals opposition to Muslim trainers has extended beyond Bhopal, with similar activities reported in Indore, Madhya Pradeshs largest city. Their campaign gained momentum following the arrest of Mohsin Khan, a shooting coach accused of running an illegal shooting academy and allegedly involved in cases of rape and molestation. In another case fueling tensions, a 40-year-old man, Dinesh Mishracoincidentally sharing a name with the sub-inspector but unrelatedallegedly attempted suicide in Indore. In his suicide note, he blamed his wife and her Muslim gym trainer for destroying his life. The situation in Bhopal has further escalated with controversial remarks from newly elected BJP MP and former mayor Alok Sharma. Addressing supporters on Sunday, Sharma announced plans to compile a list of gyms employing Muslim trainers and stated that female clients should only be trained by female instructors. The list will soon be handed over to the police, which will then do its job. Madhya Pradesh has Dr Mohan Yadavs government, which will not allow Love Jihad or Land Jihad to happen anywhere, Sharma said. Sharma also drew criticism for opposing the late-night operation of shops in Muslim-majority areas like Qazi Camp and Shahjahanabad. When shops in all other markets... are closed at 10 pm, how come shops at Qazi Camp and other areas be allowed to be open the entire night? Are those markets located in Pakistan? he questioned, demanding police action through a formal memorandum. Responding to Sharmas statements, Congress MLA from Bhopal-Central, Arif Masood, dismissed the remarks as political theatrics. He (Sharma) is doing all this to increase his TRP, Masood said.

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

Indore becomes India's 16th city and MP's first to get metro rail service
BHOPAL: The countrys cleanest city Indore on Saturday became Madhya Pradeshs first city and Indias 16th to get an operational metro rail service. Before addressing the Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Mahila Sashaktikaran Maha Sammelan in Bhopal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated the commercial run of Indores much-awaited metro rail service. Today Madhya Pradesh has got its first metro rail service. Indore has already established a distinct identity in the world for cleanliness. Now Indores identity will be redefined by its metro rail service. The work on starting a metro rail service in Bhopal too is underway in an accelerated manner, Modi said after virtually inaugurating the Indore metros first commercial run from Bhopal. Conceptualized to cover a stretch of more than 31 km with 28 stations in multiple phases at a total cost of Rs 7500 crore, around Rs 1520 crore has been spent on the 6-km long five stations-strong super priority corridor on which the commercial run started on Saturday. As a tribute to women power, the five stations on the 6-km long route have been named after famous queens and women warriors -- Devi Ahilyabai Holkar, Rani Durgavati, Maharani Laxmi Bai, Rani Avantibai Lodhi and Veerangana Jhalkaribai. The inaugural trip of the Indore Metro only had women passengers, including Swachhata Didis (female sanitation workers) and women working with companies in Indores Super Corridor area, like Infosys and TCS. Many of the women wore Sindoori (vermillion coloured) sarees, as a salute to the recent Operation Sindoor by the Indian armed forces. Interestingly, the Indore Metro will operate free of cost for all passengers in the first week, followed by discounted ticket rates in the next two weeks (75% and 50% discount respectively). The inauguration of the Indore Metro, meanwhile, wasnt bereft of its share of partisan politics, as the opposition Congress took credit for it. Many years back while I was the Union minister and Babulal Gaur was a cabinet minister in the BJP government in MP, I called him to Delhi and said that we feel ashamed that MP doesnt have a metro rail service. He told me that Rs 17 crore was needed to prepare the detailed project report (DPR), the money was sanctioned and the report was prepared. When I was the CM (in 2019), I had laid the foundation of the metro rail project (in Indore and Bhopal), former CM Kamal Nath said in Chhindwara. MP gets two new airports Not only did Madhya Pradesh see the inauguration of the Indore Metro rail service by PM Modi from Bhopal, but two new airports too were inaugurated virtually by the PM on Saturday. The two new airports are in Satna (in Vindhya region) and Datia (which will cover the Bundelkhand region). Satna and Datia are now connected to the air travel network. These two airports will improve air connectivity in Vindhya and Bundelkhand region. Now, offering prayers at the Goddess Sharda, Goddess Pitambara temples and the revered Chitrakoot pilgrim town will become easier, Modi said. The Datia airport will not just render air connectivity to MPs Bundelkhand region, but also render wings to the adjoining region of UP too, including Jhansi. It will also boost the tourist potential of the entire Bundelkhand region, making it easier to travel to Orchha in MPs Niwari district and Jhansi in UP which neighbours Datia and Orchha. The first two aircraft to take off from the new airports were flown by female pilots. The flight from Satna to Rewa had tribal women among its passengers.

'Muslims attacking Hindus': Malegaon blast accused Pragya Thakur on Pahalgam terror attack
BHOPAL: Known for her provocative remarks, 2008 Malegaon blast accused and former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur described the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack as an attack by Muslims on Hindus. She made the remark while addressing a gathering during the Pratap Parakram Yatra organised by the right-wing Hindu outfit Karni Sena Bharat to mark Maharana Pratap Jayanti in Indore on Thursday. The manner in which the terrorists killed innocents after ascertaining their religious identities and widowed our sisters, the attack should be called an attack by Muslims on Hindus, the former Lok Sabha MP said. Whenever such attacks take place, then Hindus should also attack Muslims and Muslim terrorists, she added. The situation today is similar to what was when Maharana Pratap bravely fought the Mughals. Similarly, the Mughals are still working at cutting us and our country. Well have to stand for ourselves in such a situation. All our great rulers, including Maharana Pratap, Shivaji Maharaj and Prithviraj Chauhan have shown us the way to never address enemies as bhai (brother). But now-a-days people dont address their own brothers as Bhai. They instead address the vidarmhis (those from other religious beliefs) as bhai . Keep this in mind that the day you stop calling them Bhai, youll be safe, Thakur said in the long speech. Thakur also praised the Indian Armed Forces and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Operation Sindoor . People asked why the war was stopped. Always remember war is fought among equals, an elephant never fights a dog, she said. BJP MLA from Indore-2, Ramesh Mendola, was also present on stage at the event.

Indore family announces Rs 5 lakh reward for tracing newly-wed couple who went missing in Meghalaya
BHOPAL: An Indore-based transporter family has announced a Rs 5 lakh cash bounty for tracing its newly-wed couple Raja and Sonam Raghuvanshi, who have been missing in Meghalaya since May 23. The Raghuvanshi familys eldest son and Rajas brother, Sachin Raghuvanshi, told TNIE on Thursday. The couple got married on May 11 and left for a trip to the Northeast ten days later. After offering prayers at Goddess Kamakhya Devi Temple in Guwahati, they went on a honeymoon trip to Shillong, from where they hired a scooter and set out for Sohra (Cherrapunjee) on May 23, said Sachin. We last talked to them over the phone at 1.23 pm on May 23, but after that, their phones have been sounding switched off, while the scooter they hired to get there too has been found abandoned, Sachin added. Raja's brother Vipin and Sonams brother Govind, subsequently went to Meghalaya on May 25, after which the local police started acting on the matter. Our Indore MP Shankar Lalwani too is camping in Shillong, coordinating with authorities there for searching Raja and Sonam. Also, our states CM Dr Mohan Yadav and cabinet minister Kailash Vijayvargiya are coordinating with the Meghalaya government in the matter, Sachin said. Sachin, the eldest of three Raghuvanshi brothers, however, demanded that if possible, the Army should also be pressed into the search operations. In Shillong, meanwhile, Indore MP Shankar Lalwani and BJPs Rajya Sabha member Sumer Solanki were continuously holding meetings with the top bureaucrats and cops of Meghalaya to keep a tab on the search operations. Meanwhile, the Meghalaya CM, Conrad Sangma, assured that all possible efforts are underway to search for the missing Indori couple. An unfortunate incident happened. We received reports that a newlywed couple from Madhya Pradesh, who had come to Sohra, Meghalaya, had gone missing. My Madhya Pradesh counterpart has spoken with me. I received a call from the office of the Home Minister, Government of India. I have been monitoring the situation personally on a daily basis, Sangma said in a video. The SP (of East Khasi Hills district), as well as the entire administration and the police force, have been on the job 24X7 to find the missing couple. Not only our administration, entire village and community in that area are participating in the search operation. We are using all possible technologies available. This is a pre-monsoon time, and the entire Cherrapunjee belt is known for heavy rainfall. It is a very difficult task as we move along but we are giving our best to findthecouple, he added. Back in Indore, the additional commissioner of police (ACP-Law and Order) Amit Singh said they are in constant touch with their counterparts in the East Khasi Hill district of Meghalaya, from where the young couple are missing for the last six days. As per information with the local police in Meghalaya, the couple visited Nongriat on May 23 and later, Mawlakhiat. There has been no trace of them since. Their phones have also remained switched off. This is the second such incident in Meghalaya in recent times. Early April, a tourist from Hungary died, and his body was recovered from a village in the Sohra area, 12 days after he was reported missing. After Puskas Zsolts disappearance, the Hungarian Embassy had filed a missing complaint report with Meghalaya police. The police had then ruled out any foul play in Zsolts death and suspected he might have died after a fall. After that incident, the district administration had issued an advisory for the safety of tourists. They were urged to exercise extreme caution near cliffs, jungles and water bodies, and hire certifiedlocalguides.

BHOPAL: Eighteenth centurys legendary Holkar dynasty queen Devi Ahilyabai Holkar who is famous for good governance and social reforms, besides cultural patronage and religious contributions is presently at the centerstage of BJPs development politics in Madhya Pradesh. Ongoing celebrations marking the 300th birth anniversary of the visionary queen of Malwa kingdom, which began in September 2024, will reach its zenith on May 31 (the birth anniversary date) when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Mahila Sashaktikaran Mahasammelan at Bhopals Jamboree Maidan. The mega gathering of women (perhaps the first all women mega gathering to be addressed by the PM anywhere since Operation Sindoor) will see the presence of two lakh women from across the state. The gathering will have the presence of women entrepreneurs, workers, self help group members as well as beneficiaries of various women-oriented welfare schemes, like CM Ladli Behna Yojana. It will also see the PM virtually inaugurating the metro railway for Indore, unveiling new airports in Satna and Datia and foundation laying of a Kshipra river ghat in Ujjain, states urban development and housing minister Kailash Vijayvargiya said. While the PM will inaugurate the projects virtually from Bhopal, union ministers are likely to be present in each of the locations, Indore, Ujjain, Satna and Datia simultaneously, he said. The PM is also likely to release a Rs 300 commemorative coin of the 18th century queen to mark the historic occasion. The mega gathering of the women marking the 18th century queens birth anniversary in Bhopal on May 31, will happen 11 days after the May 20 state cabinet special meeting at Rajwada Palace of Indore, the principal seat of the Holkar dynastys kingdom. The special state cabinet had approved development projects and schemes worth Rs 3867 crores, including the in-principle approval to the Lokmata Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Training Scheme, aimed at providing employment-oriented skill development to states youth and women. Under the scheme, eligible individuals will receive an annual interest subsidy of Rs 1,000, with a lifetime cap of Rs 10,000 per person on loan interest. The scheme will entail an annual expenditure of approximately Rs 100 crore. The meeting had also approved an ambitious scheme of building working women hostels in all industrial areas of the state to increase and ensure safe participation of women workforce in the industrial process. With Devi Ahilyabai Holkar being particularly known for contribution to Hindu religion through restoration and construction of temples, ghats and other religious structures (among them the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi and the Somnath Temple in Gujarat), the special state cabinet meeting had also approved Rs 2195 crore-plus for construction of the Acharya Shankar Museum Advait Lok under the Ekatma Dham Project at Omkareshwar. The funding will cover: Advait Lok Museum, Acharya Shankar International Institute of Advaita Vedanta, Advait Nilyam, Project Information Center, Shankar Setu and Abhay Ghat. The special state cabinet meeting on May 20 in Indore was the second special state cabinet meeting (as part of the year long 300th birth anniversary celebrations) after January 24 similar state cabinet meeting in the riverside religious town of Maheshwar, which was the capital of Ahilyabais empire between 1765 to 1796. At the January 24 meeting, the Dr Mohan Yadav led cabinet decided to impose a total liquor ban in 19 religious cities and towns which was termed by the CM, as the starting point to a more ambitious total liquor ban across the state in the times to come. Ahead of the May 31 mega gathering of women to be addressed by the PM in Bhopal, several other events are being held across the state, including essay, painting and debate competitions in schools and colleges. On Wednesday, a state-level fair of women entrepreneurs was addressed by the CM in tribal dominated Betul district. On May 29, health check camps till the block level with special focus on breast cancer will be organised across the state, followed by Ahilya Vahini motorbike rally for women across the state on May 30. Summed up Indore mayor and BJP leader Pushyamitra Bhargava, The year long 300th birth anniversary celebrations of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar is particularly important as she was famous for good governance and women empowerment. The same theme is also guiding the BJP government led by Dr Mohan Yadav in the state. The celebrations, particularly the unveiling of multiple projects on May 31, including the much-awaited metro rail for Indore, will establish that the legendary queen is not just a motherly figure for Indore, but iconic mother Lokmata of development for the entire state. According to Bhopal-based senior journalist Rajeev Soni, Devi Ahilyabai Holkar is synonymous to good governance and particularly enjoys an iconic status in the entire Malwa region with Indore being its nucleus. The grand celebrations to mark her 300th birth anniversary also assumes special significance as its the first time that any CM (Dr Mohan Yadav hails from adjoining Ujjain) is the guardian minister of Indore. Further celebrating motherly iconic legendary queens tricentenary birth celebrations on such major scale with women empowerment being in the focus, is also likely to help the government, particularly the CM Dr Mohan Yadav bolster its already strong connect with women, who since decades have formed the backbone of BJPs prime support base in MP. As per politically informed sources, the grand celebrations which started in September are part of BJPs parent outfit RSSs year-long series of engagements reflecting on Devi Aahilyabai Holkars life and times. In his Vijayadashami speech in October 2024, the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had described Devi Ahilyabai as a skilled administrator and a dutiful, conscientious ruler who strived for the welfare of people and was proud of Dharma, Sanskriti and motherland. The celebrations are in line with the RSSs events across the country to project Devi Ahilyabai Holkar as an icon of cultural nationalism. With an MP having a CM with strong RSS roots, the major celebrations and related development-oriented decisions were bound to happen in the state of the queen's rule, an RSS source said. The opposition Congress, however, has a question amid the ongoing celebrations. Devi Ahilyabai Holkars 300th birth anniversary is a prideful moment for all of us. She was also known for her unflinching commitment towards women empowerment, exemplified among other initiatives by her advocacy and sustained efforts for widow remarriage. But what BJP and the state government did in the year of these celebrations, it has failed to sack cabinet minister Vijay Shah, for his sister of terrorists remarks about the female face of Operation Sindoor, Colonel Sofia Qureshi, said state party spokesperson Bhupendra Gupta.

Damoh RTI activist arrested for abetment after teacher dies by self-immolation over blackmail
BHOPAL:An RTI activist has been arrested in Madhya Pradeshs Damoh district for allegedly prompting a government primary school teacher to burn himself alive. While the middle-aged RTI activist Jitendra has been arrested on May 26, for mentally harassing and blackmailing primary school teacher Rajesh Tripathi, which allegedly prompted Tripathi to immolate self in Hatta town of Damoh district on May 15, more primary school teachers have approached the Damoh district police against the same RTI activist. According to informed sources, Bhatt had complained to the authorities alleging that the primary school teacher Tripathi got the government job by using a fake BEd degree. Police investigations revealed that the RTI activist was harassing and blackmailing Tripathi in the matter, to regularly get money from him. After forcing Tripathi to pay him around Rs 7 lakh to Rs 10 lakh, Bhatt had recently started demanding that the school teacher pay him half of his salary every month, Damoh district police superintendent Shrutkirti Somwanshi told TNIE . Burdened by mounting debts worth over Rs 50 lakh taken from bank and private money lenders to construct a house as well as regularly pay money to Bhatt accompanied by continued threats by the RTI activist to get him sacked from the job over the fake degree, compelled Tripathi to burn himself alive while returning from Hatta town his village on May 25. He died during the course of treatment at hospital later, the SP-Damoh added. Bhatt has been booked under BNS Sections for mentally harassing Tripathi and abetment of suicide. At least 5-10 more school teachers who have been terminated or are facing probe by the authorities for using fake degrees/certificates to get government job, too have approached the police and complained against Bhatt, alleging that he was blackmailing them for a long time and forcing them to pay money running into lakhs of rupees. Were investigating those complaints and more FIRs may be lodged against the arrested RTI activist in the coming days, Somwanshi said. Importantly, the services of over 20 government school teachers in Damoh district have been terminated recently after a departmental probe confirmed they had secured jobs using fake degrees. In most cases, the complaints were filed by RTI activist Jitendra Bhatt, who, according to the dismissed teachers and others facing similar inquiries, had allegedly been blackmailing them for money over the past several years.

He emphasised that, if necessary, a separate officer should be appointed to oversee the head count and management of aquatic species. During a recent meeting of the state wildlife board, the CM reiterated the need to introduce new species. Yadav laid emphasis on efforts to boost the population of gharials in the state and discussed plans to introduce crocodiles into the Narmada river. Lands of tribals being usurped by mafia Former CM and Congress veteran Kamal Nath has written to MP CM Mohan Yadav over the alleged usurping of land belonging to tribals in his home district Chhindwara by the land mafia. The land mafia is usurping land of tribals by cheating them, and the Chhindwara district admin is directly or indirectly aiding the land sharks, he claimed, adding, Lands of tribals are being purchased and sold by land mafia by entering into contracts at rates much lower than market price. The sale deeds are being edited to transfer the lands in the name of non-tribals for commercial use. The Congress leader has demanded an impartial inquiry into the matter. Cabinet meet on June 3 in memory of tribal hero Two weeks after the special state Cabinet meeting at Indores historic Rajwada Palace on May 20 as part of legendary queen Devi Ahilyabai Holkars 300th birth anniversary celebrations, another special meet of the Cabinet will be held at Pachmarhi, a popular winter destination, on June 3.

The decision to hold the special state Cabinet meeting at Pachmarhi is part of the state governments focus on spreading awareness about the unsung heroes of Indias freedom struggle.

Tribal woman gang-raped, murdered in Madhya Pradesh
BHOPAL: Unimaginable savagery with a 45-year-old tribal woman by two tribal male neighbours has been reported from Khalwa area of southwestern Madhya Pradeshs Khandwa district. The mother of two young sons was allegedly gang-raped by two men (both neighbours) aged between 25 and 38 years. She was subsequently subjected to unimaginable torture by the two accused, who allegedly inserted some hard and blunt object (possibly an iron rod) into her private parts, causing severe damage to her internal organs, which led to her death some hours later. Both the accused, who hail from the same Korku tribe to which the woman also belonged to, have been arrested and booked for murder and gang rape. Importantly, the woman and the accused were neighbours and knew each other very well. According to sources associated with the ongoing police probe, the woman went with her neighbour Hari Palvi to a marriage in the village on Friday evening. She and Hari along with another woman returned from the marriage late at night. While the other woman went to her home, the middle-aged woman, who was the mother of two sons (aged 20 and 22 years) went with Hari to his house, where they were joined by another man, Sunil. Primary investigations suggest that the trio, including the woman and the two male neighbors consumed liquor, after which the savagery happened with the woman at her neighbours house on Friday-Saturday intervening night. On Saturday morning, the womans two sons found their mother in serious condition in the neighbours house and took her home. Neither the two sons nor villagers reported the incident to the police. The woman died at around 2 pm due to severe internal injuries, after which the police came to know about it. Our teams arrested both the accused on coming to know about the ghastly incident. The duo has been booked under BNS Sections related to gang-rape and murder. Had the incident been reported to us in the morning itself, the womans life could well have been saved due to timely medical intervention, particularly as we now even have helicopter support to fly patients to the best hospitals, inspector general of police (IG-Indore Rural Zone) Anurag told TNIE on Sunday. According to the police sources, the two accused were so heavily drunk that even the cops had to wait for several hours to question them. The opposition Congress hit out at the state government in the wake of the savagery with the tribal woman by two fellow tribal men. In Mohan Raj (Dr Mohan Yadavs rule) in MP, the womens safety seems to be over! The brutality done to a woman in the tribal area of Khandwa district is spine-chilling! The CM does your home minister (the CM is the home minister also) have some shame left or not? Despite so many incidents, the government has neither any sympathy nor the courage to rein in criminals! the MP Congress said in its official statement on X (formerly twitter).
BHOPAL: In Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa district, at least six graves of recently deceased women have been desecrated in such a manner that the lower half of the corpses are exposed. Police have launched a probe into the matter. The grave desecration has occured in cemeteries in Lohari Naka under Khandwa city Kotwali, and in Sihada village under Moghat Road police jurisdiction. Three of these graves are in Bada Kabristan cemetary at Lohari Naka, while three others are in another graveyard in Sihada village. The cemeteries are about 10-15 km apart, a senior police officer in Khandwa district told TNIE on Saturday. The incident occured three days ago, according to police sources. While confirming the two incidents, Inspector General of Police-Indore Zone Rural Anurag said that two cases have already been registered against unidentified accused and that investigations are underway. Police are examining CCTV footage and interrogating persons connected to the cases. Some suspect that the tampering could be linked to occult practices; some others suspect that the bodies have been mishandled in other ways. The two common patterns, womens grave being tampered with and the digging having taken place from near the side of the legs, which stood exposed thereafter, suggest the possibility of occult practices having happened at both the graveyards, sources connected with the investigations claimed. According to local residents in Khandwa town, back in 2008, a mentally unstable youth was reportedly caught by local residents in a graveyard near a womans grave which had been badly tampered with. The youth was subsequently handed over to the local police.

Tensions escalate between lawyer groups over installation of Ambedkar statue at Madhya Pradesh HC
BHOPAL: The ongoing standoff between two groups of lawyers over plans to install a statue of Dr BR Ambedkar on the premises of the Madhya Pradesh High Courts Gwalior Bench appears to be escalating into a national political issue. On Friday, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati alleged that certain lawyers with a casteist mindset were opposing the installation of Dr Ambedkars statue. She called upon the Madhya Pradesh Governor and Chief Minister to intervene and facilitate the installation. Following the advocates request, the Madhya Pradesh High Court granted permission to install the statue of the most revered Baba Saheb with financial support from the advocates themselves. Under the Courts direction, a location within the premises of the Gwalior Bench was selected, a platform was built, and the statue was made. However, some lawyers with casteist views are now opposing the installation. Despite their inflammatory posts on social media, no action has been taken against them. These opponents of Baba Saheb must understand that the Bahujan Samaj, which has faced centuries of neglect, now seeks dignity and recognition, Mayawati posted on X (formerly Twitter). She added, The Governor, the High Court, and the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh are urged to remove any obstacles to the statues installation. In a related development, Bhim Army national president Satpal Tanwar announced on Friday that he would visit Gwalior on May 26. He also appealed to Bhim Sena activists in Rajasthan to gather at the Jaipur Bench of the Rajasthan High Court and remove the statue of Sage Manu if the installation of Ambedkars statue at the Gwalior Bench is not permitted. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Congress spokesperson and former MLA Shailendra Patel, who belongs to the OBC community, described the opposition to Ambedkars statue as an act of disrespect to the Indian Constitution. The controversy dates back to February 19, when a group of lawyers met the then Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, Suresh Kumar Kait, and submitted a memorandum seeking approval for the statue. The Chief Justice reportedly gave verbal consent, after which a local committee was formed and a platform was constructed within the Gwalior Bench premises. However, a significant section of the High Court Bar Association in Gwalior opposed the initiative, claiming that the broader bar community was not informed and that necessary permissions from the building committee were not obtained. This disagreement triggered tensions between the two lawyer factions. On May 10, members of the Bar Association hoisted the national flag at the proposed statue site. They stated that the act was to commemorate Operation Sindoor and expressed their intention to erect a 100-foot-high tricolour at the location in the future. On May 14, a group of lawyers arrived for the statues installation but were met with strong resistance from members of the Bar Association. Tensions escalated further on May 17, when lawyers opposing the statue reportedly assaulted Bhim Army leader Rupesh Ken and his associates outside the High Court premises in Gwalior, despite a heavy police presence. The Bhim Army members had come in support of the statues installation. Subsequently, on May 19, lawyers from both factions travelled to Jabalpur to meet outgoing Chief Justice Suresh Kumar Kait, who urged them to maintain peace. Since then, both sides have continued to hold discussions.
BHOPAL: Beleaguered Madhya Pradesh cabinet minister Vijay Shah has apologised for the third time in nine days for his controversial sister of terrorists remark on Indian Armys Colonel Sofia Qureshi. Shah, the 62-year-old eight-time BJP MLA and states tribal affairs minister, posted a video message as well as a written apology on his official letter pad on Friday, apologising for his linguistic mistake. In the 24-second-long video message, Shah said, It was my bhashai bhool (linguistic mistake) which has hurt a community, religion and countrymen. I never intended to hurt any religion, caste or community. I apologise to the Indian Armed Forces, sister Colonel Sofia Qureshi and countrymen for my words. I apologise to all with folded hands. He posted the same apology in writing on his official letter pad, maintaining that his words were a result of the deep pain and anger arising out from the Pahalgam terror attack. Prior to this latest development, Shah had tendered conditional apology (if Ive hurt, then I apologise) on May 13, and a public apology an at event in Indore on May 12. On May 19, while hearing his plea against the FIR lodged against him on the basis of a Madhya Pradesh high court order, the Supreme Court had formed a special investigation team (SIT) comprising three IPS officers, including a woman officer, all from MP cadre, but hailing from outside the state. The SC had earlier criticised the minister for issuing conditional apologies, stating that it was akin to shedding crocodile tears.. Importantly, this first unconditional apology is seen as a result of Shahs growing isolation in the party over the issue. Informed sources in Bhopal claim that he was in Delhi recently and tried to meet the party's top leadership to present his side on the issue, but efforts went in vain. Barring two BJP MLAs, including ex-minister Usha Thakur and first-time minister Pratima Bagri, none are siding with him amid rising demands for his resignation/dismissal from the state council of ministers. The latest development has come two days after a group of concerned citizens, including retired high-ranked officers of the three wings of Indian Armed Forces, former IAS officers, ex-scientists, educationists and economists, with former chief of naval staff Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat being most prominent among them, wrote to President Droupadi Murmu about the recent derogatory statements of MP minister Vijay Shah and states deputy CM Jagdish Devda for the Indian Armed Forces. In the letter, it has been mentioned that the derogatory statements made by the two ministers can adversely affect the morale of the serving personnel of the countrys defence forces, resulting in weakening of national security and territorial integrity. Because of the stringent laws and rules governing discipline in the Defence Forces, its serving personnel are debarred from responding to these derogatory, humiliating statements. We therefore respectfully request you (the President), to issue directions for appropriate action to be taken by the Government to prevent recurrence of such regrettable incidents, in the interest of national unity and security, the letter mentioned further. While Shah already faces a FIR under Sections 152, 196(1)(b) and 197(1(c) of BNS for his sister of terrorists veiled remark about Colonel Sofia Qureshi, MP deputy CM and finance minister Jagdish Devda is also under oppositions sustained attack over his May 16 speech at an event in Jabalpur, where he had allegedly said that entire armed forces bowed down in the feet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Devda, however, had clarified that his statements were distorted and presented in the wrong manner, as he had actually said that the entire country and people bow down in the feet of the Indian Armed Forces for their valour during Operation Sindoor.

BHOPAL: A company believed to be associated with Turkish defence firm Asisguard, which manufactured the Songar armed drones used by Pakistan against India after the launch of Operation Sindoor, has come under the scanner of authorities in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh. An inquiry has been ordered against Asis Elektronik, which has been taking care of the ticket fare collection for the 11.5 km-long Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS) in Indore, MP's most populated city, since 2019. This is the second time in three days in the state that a probe has been ordered against the Turkish company which also holds the Rs 230 crore contract for automatic fare collection systems in the upcoming Bhopal and Indore metro railway projects. On May 19, a similar probe had been ordered into the operations of the company by the states urban development and housing minister Kailash Vijayvargiya. It has come to my notice that the company performing the work of ticket fare collection of the BRTS in Indore is named Asis Elektronik. Its also being said that the company is directly associated with the Turkish company which supplied armed drones to Pakistan for use against India after the launch of Operation Sindoor. A probe has been ordered to establish the relationship between Asis Elektronik and the company (Asisguard) which supplied armed drones to Pakistan to strike at Indian targets. If the probe establishes any type of association between the two companies, then their association with the BRTS should be immediately terminated, Indore mayor and BJP leader Pushyamitra Bhargava said on Thursday. This company has been working in a joint venture with another company on the ticket fare revenue collection system of BRTS Indore since 2016. The ordered enquiry will probe all aspects, spanning from when work order was given to what was the system of their revenue collection. We cant allow any firm or company which is directly or indirectly related to forces against our national security, to thrive on our resources, he said. This BRTS Indore related issue apart, it is being widely reported that citizens of our country have decided against touring Turkey, due to its partnership with Pakistan against India. If the citizens are doing it out of patriotism, it's our duty also to find out whether use of Turkish technology in our infrastructure projects is hurting Indian interests socially or economically, the Indore mayor added. These developments come just a few days after the revocation of the security clearance of Turkish aviation giant Celebi Airport Services, which was managing ground handling operations at nine major Indian airports including Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. These operations have since been reassigned to Indian firms. The Delhi High Court had rejected the companys petition for relief with a stern etter safe than sorry response.

BHOPAL: Two first-time women village sarpanches both tribals have been removed from their posts in Guna district of Madhya Pradesh, after it was found that they had handed over their rights and powers as sarpanch to others, including a loaner -- as repayment for loans taken from private lenders to contest the panchayat elections in 2022. The first matter pertained to Karond panchayat (the post of sarpanch is reserved for woman), where the sarpanch Laxmi Bai Gond handed over her rights as sarpanch to one of panchayat members Ranveer Singh Kushwah in return for Kushwahs guarantee to repay a Rs 20 lakh loan taken by Laxmi Bai from private money lender Hemraj Singh Dhakad. The entire unholy and notarised agreement of handing over rights and powers as sarpanch to the panchayat member Ranveer Singh Kushwah, in return for the guarantee of Kushwah repaying the Rs 20 lakh loan to Hemraj Dhakad was formalised on a Rs 100 revenue stamp paper in 2022. Another similar matter pertained to Ramnagar village panchayat of Chachoura area of the same Guna district, where the tribal woman Munni Bai Sahariya contested the 2022 gram panchayat elections after borrowing money from the villages strongman Ramsevak Meena. After winning the election in 2022 and becoming sarpanch, she reportedly entered into an agreement with Meena and handed over rights and power of sarpanch to him. In return for getting the powers and rights of the sarpanch, Ramsevak Meena agreed to pay Munni Bai Rs one lakh annually. Confirming both the cases, the Guna district collector Kishor Kanyal said, We had received complaints about both those village panchayats, after which a probe was ordered. The probe led to documented facts, after which both the concerned women sarpanches have been removed from their posts. Action is also being initiated against the secretaries of the two village panchayats. Also, FIRs have been registered against those with whom the agreements were made. This will ensure that such incidents dont recur in our district in future. These two developments in Guna district of Gwalior-Chambal region, happened three months after a first-time woman sarpanch lost her post in Neemuch district for handing over her rights, duties and powers of sarpanch to a man of the same village. The action was initiated in February by the authorities in Neemuch district of western MP against Kailashi Devi Kachchawa, the first-time woman sarpanch of Daata village of Manasa area of western MPs Neemuch district for handing over her rights, powers and duties as sarpanch to a man from the same village Suresh Garasiya. The agreement between the village sarpanch Kailashi Bai and Suresh Garasiya happened on a Rs 500 stamp paper on January 24. The agreement was signed by both parties as well as two eyewitnesses.
Rs 11.26 crore snakebite death scam unearthed in Madhya Pradesh's Seoni, land of Jungle Books Kaa
BHOPAL: In Madhya Pradeshs Seoni district -- famous as the land of The Jungle Book 's serpent Kaa -- a man 'died' 30 times and a woman 29 times due to snake bites in a scam to siphon off public money running into crores. The alleged scam worth around Rs 11.26 crore was carried out by faking snakebite, drowning and lightning related deaths in official records to claim compensation from the state government. A detailed probe conducted by the finance department from Jabalpur, which began with the scrutiny of bills of Keolari tehsil of Seoni district, led to the unearthing of the scam. A scam worth Rs 11.26 crore has come to the fore, following the investigations. The embezzled Rs 11.26 crore was credited into the bank accounts of 47 people, joint director (finance) Rohit Kaushal, who led the year-long probe, said on Wednesday. The man who is believed to have authored the entire scam, Assistant Grade III Sachin Dahayak, transferred the amount into the accounts of his family, friends and acquaintances. The public money was transferred to personal accounts instead of directly going to the beneficiary accounts, which establishes that the embezzlement was done in a planned and organized manner. The scam, which reportedly happened between 2018-19 to 2021-22, saw many of those shown in government records as deceased due to snakebites, drowning and lightning, 'die' multiple times particularly due to the venomous bites of serpents. A man named Ramesh was shown in the records of Keolari tehsil to have 'died' 30 times from snakebite, while Dwarika Bai 'died' 29 times and Ram Kumar 28 times. The maximum Rs 4 lakh compensation is paid to the families of those who lose their loved ones due to natural calamities like snakebite, drowning, lightning, etc. During the year-long probe conducted on the order of the finance department, we scrutinized all bills related to financial assistance released for natural calamities, like snakebites. The probe has revealed embezzlement of Rs 11.26 crore. Death certificates and autopsy reports of those shown dead in the records of the Keolari tehsil, werent made available to our team, despite repeated requests, the joint director (finance) Rohit Kaushal said. The probe has revealed that bills of those shown dead due to snakebites and drowning in the records were passed without death certificates, post-mortem reports and police verification. The Rs 11.26 crore embezzled through the scam was credited into the accounts of 47 people, including 46 private persons and one government employee. The probe also revealed that staff at the Keolari tehsil took advantage of shortcomings in the integrated financial management information system (IFMIS) to execute the scam. While Dahayak, who has been arrested, has emerged as the key player behind the entire scam, the suspected involvement of six other government employees, including a sub divisional magistrate, four tehsildars and one Assistant Grade III (who were posted at the Keolari tehsil between 2018-19 and 2021-22) has also come to the fore. The probe also showed that fake documents to claim the compensation were prepared by misusing the official logins and IDs of the officers (tehsildars and an SDM), which served as the basis for release of payments from the treasury. According to Seoni district collector Sanskriti Jain, action has already been initiated in the entire matter which dates back to 2019-2022. While the main accused Assistant Grade III Sachin Dahayak has been arrested and is already in jail, departmental enquiries (DE) have been started against the government employees suspected to be involved in the entire matter. CAG audit had already flagged the scam The comptroller and auditor general (CAG) conducted an audit in October and November 2022 to examine the disbursement of financial assistance under four schemes of natural calamities on which the state government provided maximum financial assistance during 2018-19 to 2021-22. The audit observed financial assistance worth Rs 23.81 crores, meant to provide relief to families hit by natural calamities and accidents, was siphoned into accounts of government employees, their relatives and other unauthorized/ineligible persons in 13 districts of Madhya Pradesh. According to the report of the CAG audit which was tabled in the Vidhan Sabha in March 2025, the fraud of Rs 23.81 crore in disbursement of relief sums to the families hit by natural calamities and accidents took place in 13 districts -- Seoni, Sheopur, Sehore, Shivpuri, Dewas, Chhatarpur, Khandwa, Mandsaur, Raisen, Damoh, Satna, Agar-Malwa and Vidisha. Out of the total fraud of Rs 23.81 crore, Rs 21.14 crore pertained to siphoning money into accounts of unauthorized (ineligible) persons and Rs 2.67 crore related to fraudulent distribution to government employees and their relatives. The maximum of Rs 11.79 crore was siphoned off in Seoni district, followed by Rs 3.36 crore in Sheopur, Rs 3 crore in Shivpuri, Rs 1.26 crore in Dewas and Rs 1.17 crore in Sehore district. According to the CAG report, 81 bills of Keolari tehsil were examined, which revealed that Rs 11.64 crore has been fraudulently transferred into accounts of 59 unauthorized persons through 291 fake sanction orders.
