Declined President Trumps invitation to visit US as I wanted to come to Lord Jagannaths land: PM Modi

BHUBANESWAR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said he declined US President Donald Trumps invitation for a luncheon with him in Washington DC because he had to return to Odisha, the sacred land of Lord Jagannath. Addressing a massive gathering in Bhubaneswar, marking the first anniversary of the Mohan Charan Majhi-led BJP government in the state, the Prime Minister said he got a call from Trump while he was in Canada for the G7 summit. Just two days ago, I was in Canada attending the G7 Summit when I received a call from President Trump, who kindly invited me to visit Washington. While I expressed my gratitude for his thoughtful invitation, I explained that I needed to return to the sacred land of Mahaprabhu. With due respect, I graciously declined his offer, Modi said. Modi made this disclosure in public for the first time after returning from his three-nation tour. The PM had a 35-minute phone call with the US President on Tuesday. During the conversation, Modi made it clear that India has never accepted -- and never will -- third-party mediation on the Kashmir issue. Trump had earlier taken credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. Bihar would not forget insult: PM Modi slams RJD over Ambedkar portrait insult In his speech, Modi also said the BJP government has taken firm and decisive action against those involved in violence and has prioritised the development of tribal regions. As a result, Naxal-related violence has now been confined to just 20 districts. With the current pace of efforts to combat this issue, the tribal community is on the path to being completely free from the grip of Naxalism. Naxalism will be eliminated, it's Modi's guarantee, he said to thunderous applause in Bhubaneswar. In several states across the country, the BJP governments ushered in not just change in leadership but also brought a new era of social and economic transformation, he said. A decade ago, Assam faced significant challenges, including instability, separatist movements, and widespread violence. However, today, the state is firmly on the path to development. Decades of terrorist activities have come to an end, marking a strong step towards progress and stability, the PM said.

Odisha Crime Branch seeks TI parade, remand in Gopalpur gangrape case as probe intensifies

BERHAMPUR: Continuing its investigation into the Gopalpur beach gangrape case, the Crime Against Women and Children Wing (CAW & CW) of the Odisha Crime Branch on Thursday moved the Judicial Magistrate First Class (Rural) Court in Berhampur seeking permission to conduct test identification (TI) parade of the 10 accused and police remand of the six adult suspects. Police said prime accused Pramod Nayak (23) of Hiundata village in Purushottampur, was jailed in two separate cases - attempt to murder and making bombs - a few years back. He was a BTech dropout and worked at an electronics factory in Bengaluru. He recently returned home on leave. Pramod and other accused including four juveniles were arrested late in the night on June 15 (Sunday), a few hours after allegedly gang-raping the 20-year-old, a Plus Three student, at Gopalpur beach. Medical examinations of the survivor and the accused were conducted at MKCG Medical College and Hospital, Berhampur on June 16. Blood and other samples were collected for DNA testing. On Tuesday, all the six adult accused were remanded to judicial custody while the four minors were presented before the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB). Professor Sudipta Das of MKCGMCH said the test results had not arrived till late Thursday evening. She revealed that during the medical test, the rape survivor informed doctors that the accused had used condoms. This indicates that the perpetrators not only came prepared to commit the crime but also took measures to destroy evidence. Habitual offenders resort to such methods, she added. An eight-member team of the CAW & CW led by IG S Shyni reached Berhampur on Wednesday to take charge of the probe. The team visited the crime scene and recorded statements of the survivor and her male friend, who had accompanied her to the beach. Sand samples, cigarette stubs, and other materials from the crime scene were also seized. The incident was tagged as a Red Flag case. As per norms, forensic evidence in Red Flag cases are prioritised for examination at forensic laborotaries. (SFSL) at Bhubaneswar, confirmed FMT Professor Sudipta Das of MKCGMCH.
