Four sanitation workers die in Jaipur jewellery shops septic tank while recovering gold residue
Two other workers remain in critical condition at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, while two were discharged after receiving first aid.JAIPUR: Four sanitation workers were suffocated to death in Jaipur after inhaling poisonous gas while cleaning a septic tank at Achal Jewels Private Limited in the Sitapura Industrial Area on Monday night. Two other workers remain in critical condition at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, while two were discharged after receiving first aid. The incident occurred around 8:30 pm in the Jewellery Zone known as G-Block of Sitapura, under the Sanganer Sadar police station limits. The workers had descended into a 10-foot-deep septic tank when they were overcome by toxic fumes. According to reports, the real cause of the tragedy appears to be linked to the alleged negligence and greed of the company management. Earlier that afternoon, workers had refused to enter the tank, citing intense heat and the presence of poisonous gases caused by chemical-laden water. However, after pressure from supervisors and promises of extra money, several workers agreed to proceed with the cleaning. Amit Pal and Rohit Pal were the first to enter the tank at around 8 pm. After some time, both lost consciousness and called for help. In an attempt to rescue them, six more workersincluding Sanjeev Pal and Mukeshentered the tank, but all of them also fainted and were rushed to the hospital. Doctors at the Mahatma Gandhi Hospital declared Sanjeev Pal, Himanshu Singh, Rohit Pal (all residents of Ambedkar Nagar in UP), and Arpit Yadav of Sultanpur dead. Ajay Chauhan and Rajpal are currently undergoing treatment, while Amit Pal and Surajpal were discharged after first aid. Sanganer Sadar Circle Inspector Anil Jaiman said the police received the information through control room calls and promptly reached the scene. Four workers were declared dead at the hospital, two are in critical condition, and two were discharged after initial treatment, he confirmed. The Police probe has revealed that the workers were initially reluctant to undertake the work, but agreed to do it after they were offered extra money to remove sludge for the recovery of lost gold and silver particles. In the process of making jewellery, fine particles of gold and silver often get lodged in septic tanks during the chemical washing process. Gradually, solid sludge containing residues of these precious metals settles at the bottom and most factories normally recover these by employing sanitation workers. Forensic teams have been sent to the site to help with the formal probe on this case. Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot sharply criticized the state governments handling of sanitation worker safety. Posting on his social media account X, Gehlot wrote, In the last 10 days, 11 people have died while cleaning septic tanks and drains in Deeg, Bikaner, and now Jaipur. It appears the government is ignoring the plight of sanitation workers. Although the budget promised machines to replace manual cleaning, this commitment remains only on paper. When will the government wake up from its slumber?

JAIPUR: Four men who were allegedly forced to enter a septic tank in Sitapura Industrial Area here to retrieve gold and silver particles died of toxic fumes, police on Tuesday said. The incident occurred late Monday night in a jewellery factory in G-Block of the Jewellery Zone. The deceased were identified as Sanjeev Pal, Himanshu Singh, Rohit Pal, and Arpit Yadav, police said. Two more, Ajay Chauhan and Rajpal, were rushed in a critical condition to Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, while two others, Amit Pal and Suraj Pal, were discharged after primary medical care. The workers had gone down a 10-foot-deep tank and lost consciousness. Police said initial investigation suggested that the workers had initially refused to enter the tank due to the intense heat and presence of toxic gases. However, the company management persuaded them with promise of extra money. According to police, Amit and Rohit were the first to descend into the tank. Soon, they began gasping and calling for help. The remaining six went down the tank one after another to help the first two out, but also fell unconscious. A police source said the septic tank contained a chemical sludge, believed to be carrying hold particles of gold and silver, residue from the jewellery manufacturing and cleaning processes. The sludge is periodically cleaned to extract valuable metals, a practice not uncommon in jewellery units.

IPL 2025 Final Is Going To Be Between RCB And Punjab Kings, Feels Uthappa
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Robin Uthappa backed Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) to play the IPL 2025 final at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3. Punjab Kings confirmed their top two finish following their seven-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in Jaipur on Monday. With 19 points in 14 games, the Shreyas Iyer-led side is at the top of the table with RCB having the chance to finish above them if they win against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Tuesday. RCB are placed at third spot with 17 points in 13 games and the win against LSG will see them finish at the top if they surpass PBKS' net run rate. You want momentum at the right point in the tournament and the right kind of impetus going into the play-offs. Punjab started the tournament exceptionally well, lost a bit of steam towards the back end of the league stage, but regained momentum just before the play-offs. Granted, theyre losing a player or two to national duty, but even within the squad, the batting line-up looks really solid. For me, Arshdeep Singh hasn't quite fired yet, and that actually augurs well for Punjab. It means hes due for a big performance and will be raring to go in crucial games. I have a strong feeling the final is going to be between RCB and Punjab, Uthappa said on JioStar. He further praised Iyer's leadership skills in guiding Punjab to the playoffs after 11 years. Shreyas has always been an exceptional captain. You always sensed that he felt underappreciated at KKR despite adding value there. He moved to a franchise where not much had been achieved historically - and then went on to win it for them. That says a lot about his leadership and belief, Uthappa said. The former batter is pleased with the return of pacer Josh Hazlewood ahead of the playoffs and hopes that other bowlers also contribute to make them a formidable attack.

413 Pakistani drone attacks foiled on Western Border after Operation Sindoor, says BSF IG Garg
JAIPUR:In retaliation for Operation Sindoor launched by the Indian Armed Forces, Pakistan launched 413 drones and several Chinese-made missiles into Indian territory along the western border, but all efforts were thwarted by India's robust air defence system. India displayed its defence prowess as the BSF, Army and Air Force successfully foiled each threat and not a single Indian soldier was harmed, thanks to the efficient performance of India's air defence system. Addressing a press conference in Jodhpur on Monday, BSF Rajasthan Frontier IG MGarg said Pakistan had launched the attack with full preparation and tried to target several sensitive locations, including the Phalodi airbase in Rajasthan, but all efforts were neutralised. Not only did it (Pak) send drones and missiles, but also moved Army units and tanks close to the border. However, Indian forces were already on high alert to deal with the offensive, he said. IG Garg revealed that Pakistan carried out a total of 413 drone attacks across the border districts of Barmer, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, and Sriganganagar. All drones were intercepted and shot down mid-air by Indias air defence system, he stated. The Indian forces responded with precise timing and wherever necessary. Thanks to this timely response and prior preparedness using modern technology, not a single civilian casualty was reported along the western border. While a wall of someones house collapsed and another house suffered minor damage, the overall impact was minimal due to our advance planning and use of cutting-edge resources, he added. The IG also confirmed that Pakistans missiles were armed and potentially lethal, but none succeeded in breaching Indian territory. Before they could touch Indian soil, our anti-missile systems destroyed them mid-air. What landed on the ground was only debris or empty shells, he clarified. Responding to questions about developments across the border during Operation Sindoor, IG Garg said, Pakistan had deployed its army along its side of the border, but our soldiers did not retreat even an inch. Both countries have now announced a ceasefire, but Operation Sindoor has not ended it has only been temporarily suspended. He emphasized that the BSF remains fully prepared for ground combat. BSF has always been at the frontline. Even during Operation Sindoor, while Pakistan evacuated many villages, we didnt need to evacuate even one. Our jawans stood firm, and so did the people of our border villages shoulder to shoulder with the nation. Highlighting the role of women in the forces, IG Garg praised the women personnel of BSFs Seema Bhavani unit. Everyone was ready to help each other. The courage and commitment displayed by our women soldiers proved that India's women's power is second to none. They stood guard on the border with the same passion and bravery as the men, 24 hours a day. Their dedication is truly commendable.

Mumbai will be hoping to defend the total of 184, as a win on the night will see them confirm a spot in the Top-2 of the table. When asked if he was happy with his innings, Yadav replied that he will only be happy if they secure the two points. It was a bit challenging. It looked a bit sticky with the pacers, spinners it was fine. I feel we fell 10-15 runs short with the way Hardik and Naman actually batted from the get go. Pace off and good seam up deliveries would be a challenge for batters. We have a good score for this wicket, it will be a challenge.

Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings have already qualified for the playoffs of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 but ran into a roadblock on their way to the top two finish as they lost to Delhi Capitals by six wickets on Saturday. Skipper Shreyas Iyer scored 53 runs in 34 balls, while late heroics from Aussie allrounder Marcus Stoinis, who scored an unbeaten 44 off 16 balls, helped the Kings post 206/8 in 20 overs. But on the solid batting track at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the Delhi Capitals were more than up for the challenge to chase down the total and managed to win the match with three balls to spare. Speaking after the match, head coach Ricky Ponting addressed the dressing room and asked the team to focus on the upcoming game against the Mumbai Indians on Monday. That's just a really good example of the game of T20 cricket tonight. If you are just a little bit off in any facet of the game, quite often you are going to lose. I reckon if you look back tonight, we are probably a little bit off on all three facets of our cricket, Ponting made an honest assessment of the team's performance in the dressing room. Ponting praised Iyer and Stoinis for their batting display and also highlighted Harpreet Brar for his two wickets on a difficult bowling surface. Stoinis got us with some magnificent hitting at the end, got us to a total that we thought was probably still going to be good enough. Shreyas played a good captain's knock and steadied the ship. Harpreet Brar, I want to mention your bowling today. I thought you were outstanding again, picked up the two wickets. Arshdeep, I thought you started really well as well, made the first couple of overs, he said. We probably didn't get the partnerships, we probably didn't have someone go on, get a big score, he added. The former Aussie international expressed disappointment over the result and asked the team to switch on before the upcoming game on Monday. If we look back, I am disappointed that we lost, but I actually think that gives us a chance to sit back and reset now and get ready to go again, he said. Forget about this game tomorrow, but make sure when we turn up for Monday that we are 100% switched on and ready to go, he said. Stoinis further stressed on the importance of the upcoming match and said, We have obviously qualified for the finals and we are trying to get that top 2 spot, so unfortunately tonight might hurt that little bit. We are playing really good cricket. Different guy are stepping up at different times and a lot is riding on where we finish on the table, he signed off. Forget about this game tomorrow, but make sure when we turn up for Monday that we are 100% switched on and ready to go, he said. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Article Source: IANS

IPL 2025: Couldnt Make It To Playoffs, But The Team Put In A Strong Effort, Says DC's Rizvi
Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Delhi Capitals defeated Punjab Kings by six wickets in their final match of the IPL 2025 season at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday. Punjab Kings posted 206/8 in their 20 overs, but Delhi Capitals chased down the target with three balls to spare, courtesy of Sameer Rizvi's unbeaten 58 off 25 balls and Karun Nair's 44 off 27. Reflecting on his match-winning performance, Rizvi said, When I came in to bat, the required rate was high. My approach was to take three or four balls to settle in and then start attacking. Karun Nair, on the other hand, smashed four boundaries in an over, which eased the pressure on me and allowed me to take my time. We have to maintain a winning mindset in the IPL. Last year, even 260 was chasable, so on a flat wicket, 200 is definitely chasable. You have to stay positive when you're chasing. I was confident because it was a good wicket, and I backed myself to play my shots, he added. When asked about his maiden IPL fifty, Rizvi expressed, I felt very relaxed. The things I used to think about - what I need to do, how I need to play - I was finally able to execute them in this match. I feel really good about how I played, because this is exactly what I aspire to do. We have to maintain a winning mindset in the IPL.

IPL 2025: Rizvis Heroics Guide Delhi Capitals To Six-wicket Win Over Punjab Kings
Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals ended their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign on a high with a six-wicket win over Punjab Kings in Jaipur, chasing down a formidable 207-run target with three balls to spare at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here on Saturday. The star of the night was 21-year-old Sameer Rizvi, who struck a brilliant unbeaten half-century to steer DC home, finishing the match in style with a maximum over long-on. Earlier in the day, Punjab Kings opted for an aggressive approach in their must-win clash for a top-two finish. Put in to bat, Shreyas Iyer's PBKS lost Priyansh Arya early, but Prabhsimran Singh and Josh Inglis stitched a quick 47-run partnership to set the tone for a challenging total. Inglis smashed 32 off just 12 balls, while Prabhsimran kept the scoreboard ticking with his usual flair. Captain Shreyas Iyer led the way in the middle overs, anchoring the innings with a composed 53 off 34 balls. Iyers knock held the innings together as wickets fell around him. But it was Marcus Stoinis who provided the finishing flourish, hammering an unbeaten 44 off just 16 balls. The powerful Australian all-rounder punished Mohit Rathee in the penultimate over with 6, 4, 4, 6 to lift PBKS past the 200-run mark. Punjab ended with 206/8, their seventh 200+ total of the season. DCs bowlers did well to contain PBKS at various stages. Mustafizur Rahman was the pick of the lot, picking up 3 for 33 in his four overs. All his wickets came via catches taken by keeper Tristan Stubbs, who replaced the dropped Abishek Porel. Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam chipped in with two wickets each, while Mukesh Kumar picked one. Chasing 207, Delhi Capitals got off to a flying start as openers KL Rahul and Faf du Plessis raced to 55 runs in the Power-play. Rahul looked in fine touch with a 21-ball 35 before falling to Marco Jansen. Du Plessis was dismissed soon after, and DC were 61/2 at the end of the sixth over. Karun Nair and Sediqullah Atal then steadied the chase with a useful 28-run partnership. Atal was dismissed by Praveen Dubey, and Nair, after a fluent 44, was caught off Harpreet Brar while attempting a sweep. At 122/4, Delhi needed something specialand they found it in Sameer Rizvi. Playing with composure beyond his years, Rizvi counter-attacked and dominated the final phase of the chase. He built a crucial stand with Tristan Stubbs and then took charge after Stubbs' departure. Rizvi brought up his maiden IPL fifty and ensured Delhi didn't falter at the death. His clean hitting and game awareness stood out as he finished on 52* off just 24 deliveries. For Punjab, Harpreet Brar was the most effective bowler, taking 2 for 41. But with Jansen, Dubey, and the rest unable to contain the late onslaught, DC got home with six wickets in hand and three balls remaining. With this win, Delhi Capitals concluded their season with 15 points, already bowing out of the playoff race but ending on a positive note. For PBKS, the defeat is a massive blow to their top-two hopes, leaving their qualification fate hanging by a thread.

Two Maoists killed in separate encounters in Chhattisgarh's Sukma, Bijapur
JAIPUR: Two cadres of CPI (Maoist) in uniform were killed in separate encounters with the security forces in the strife-torn districts of Sukma and Bijapur, Bastar police said on Saturday. According to Sukma district police chief Kiran Chavan, a joint team comprising District Reserve Guard (DRG) Sukma, STF, CoBRA, and CRPF launched an anti-Maoist search operation on 22 May based on the intelligence inputs about the movement of naxalites at Pesalpad terrain within the Kistaram police station limit. The recovered body of male Maoist has been identified as Area Committee Member Madvi Maada who was also the deputy commander of the South Sub-Zonal Bureau. One automatic pistol, BGL launcher and shells among other naxal items were recovered from the encounter scene, the officer said. Similarly in Bijapur district, a team of security forces comprising DRG Sukma, STF, and CoBRA units 210 and 208 left on anti-Maoist operation on the basis of specific inputs about the presence of Red Rebels along the border region of Bijapur and Sukma districts. An exchange of fire took place between Maoists of PLGA Battalion No. 01 and the forces in the forests of Tumrel under Usur police station limits. After the encounter, a body of one hardcore Maoist identified as Sandesh areas Sannu who was an Area Committee Member of the South Bastar Division Committee was recovered, said Jitendra Yadav, Bijapur district SP. Sukma and Bijapur are among the Maoist-affected districts of Bastar in south Chhattisgarh.
23-Year-Old Pregnant Woman Dies Due To Suspected Blood Mismatch At Jaipur Hospital
JAIPUR: In the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, several sweet shop owners in Jaipur have begun replacing the word 'Pak' with 'Shri' while referring to traditional Indian sweets, citing nationalist sentiments and customer discomfort. Sweets such as Moti Pak, Aam Pak, Gond Pak, and the iconic Mysore Paklong staples in Jaipurs confectioneriesare now being rebranded as Moti Shri, Aam Shri, Gond Shri, and Mysore Shri. The move, which has drawn both support and ridicule on social media, is being seen by some as a symbolic gesture of patriotism to shun any mention of Pakistan - as the use of Pak suggests the hostile neighbour in the imagination of many. According to shopkeepers, the decision was prompted by repeated customer feedback. People didnt like hearing Pak anymore. They would associate itjokingly or seriouslywith Pakistan, so we decided to change it, said one sweet shop owner from Johari Bazaar. Mohit Jain, who runs a popular sweet shop near the Jaipur Municipal Corporation, echoed the sentiment. Every day, customers would ask us to change the name. They no longer felt comfortable hearing Pak. So we brainstormed with the team and decided to give the sweets a more Indian identity, he said. Weve now renamed Bikaneri Moti Pak to Bikaneri Moti Shri, Chandi Bhasm Pak to Chandi Bhasm Shri, and Swarn Bhasm Pak to Swarn Bhasm Shri. Customers are appreciating the change and linking it to patriotic sentiments. Prateek Agarwal, a shop owner in Shastri Nagar, said he plans to follow suit. When you hear Shri in the name, it gives a sense of satisfaction that something has changed, he remarked. However, not everyone agrees with the curious logic behind the change. Language experts and food historians have pointed out that the word Pak has no connection with Pakistan or Urdu. The term Pak in these sweets originates from Pak-Shastra, the ancient Sanskrit word for culinary science. It simply means cooked or a cooked preparation, explained a Jaipur-based Sanskrit scholar. In the case of Mysore Pak, experts say the word Pak comes from Kannada, where it refers to a syrupy sweet or cooked sugar preparation - again unrelated to any geopolitical connotation. The renaming of these traditional sweets has sparked a larger conversation about the growing influence of symbolic nationalism and cultural reinterpretation. While some see the change as a harmless expression of patriotism, others warn that it risks distorting Indias diverse linguistic and culinary heritage.

IPL 2025: Uthappa Backs Punjab Kings To Finish At The Top After RCB's Loss Vs SRH
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India wicketkeeper Robin Uthappa backed Punjab Kings to finish the IPL 2025 league stage at the top of the points table after Royal Challengers Bengaluru's loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Lucknow on Friday. RCB suffered their first away loss of the season which pushed them to third spot in the points table behind Punjab Kings and table toppers Gujarat Titans. Among the top three, only Punjab Kings have two games to play in the league stage including Saturday's game against Delhi Capitals in Jaipur. Win in both the games would take them to the numero uno spot irrespective of other results. Uthappa spoke on Punjab Kings' momentum and Indian core ahead of the PBKS vs DC clash. Theyre well and truly in the race to top two. Its about the form and confidence theyre carrying, and the way Shreyas is leading the side. That makes a big difference. Players like Prabhsimran Singh, Nehal Wadhera, and Priyansh Arya are all in scorching form, not to mention Shreyas Iyer himself. When your Indian players perform consistently, its a huge boost and theyre ticking all the right boxes. I wouldnt be surprised to see them finish at the top, he said on JioHotstar. Former India pacer Varun Aaron further added his picks for the top teams, saying, Ive always backed Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings as my top two. RCB have a tendency to lose games like this, but I hope they win the eliminator and make it to the finals for all their fans. But as of now, GT and Punjab are my top two. Coming back to RCB's 42-run defeat against SRH, Uthappa highlighted batting collapse in the final overs as the reason behind their loss. Virat Kohli and Phil Salt had an electric start to their 232 chase but following their departure no RCB batter was able to play a fruitful knock as the side was bundled out for 189 in 19.5 overs. Salt played a knock of 62 while Kohli smashed 25-ball 43 to set the foundation of the chase which was not yielded by his teammates. They were looking good till the 15th over, to be honest, and then things started going south very quickly. You want set batters there and the depth to chase down a target that needs one batter to bat through. That was a crucial wicket, especially after theyd just lost Mayank Agarwal in the previous over. Those back-to-back wickets forced them to slow things down, and then the run-out, really started the slide. Losing back-to-back wickets again was the final nail in the coffin. At that point, for Tim David and Jitesh Sharma to pull it off wouldve taken a miracle. And if youre using all your miracles at this stage of the tournament, you might want to save a few for the play-offs, he said.

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.

BJP MLA in Rajasthan disqualified after conviction; Anta seat fate hinges on SC verdict
JAIPUR:BJP legislator Kanwarlal Meena has been officially disqualified from the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly after being sentenced to three years in prison for pointing a pistol at a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM). The Assembly Secretariat issued a formal notification confirming his disqualification which will be effective from May 1. The decision came after Speaker Vasudev Devnani sought legal opinion from the states Advocate General and senior legal experts. A notice had been issued to Meena asking whether he had secured any relief from the Supreme Court regarding a stay on his sentence. With no stay granted, the Speaker moved forward with the termination of Meenas membership. A review petition filed by Meena is currently pending before the Supreme Court. The possibility of a by-election for the Anta seat will depend on the apex courts verdict. Despite the notification, the opposition has criticized the delay in action for disqualify ing the BJP legislator. Congress State President Govind Singh Dotasara and Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie both accused the Speaker of dragging his feet under political pressure. @TikaRamJullyINC ' ' Govind Singh Dotasra (@GovindDotasra) May 23, 2025 In a post on X, Dotasara wrote, Satyamev Jayate. After immense pressure from the Congress Party and Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie's contempt petition in the Supreme Court, the membership of convicted BJP MLA Kanwarlal Meena had to be canceled. The Constitution is supreme in a democracy. We will continue reminding the RSS-BJP leadership of this truth. Tikaram Julie alleged that attempts were made to shield Meena following the Rajasthan High Court's decision to uphold the three-year sentence. Our fight was to protect the dignity of the Constitution and the Assemblys procedures, he said. The Speaker unnecessarily delayed the decision. Kanwarlal Meena remained an MLA even while serving jail time, which has brought disgrace to the Assembly. Speculations on Anta by-election candidates have already begun. With Meenas disqualification, political speculation has begun over potential candidates for a possible by-election in the Anta constituency. One name doing the rounds is that of Naresh Meena, a young leader currently in jail for allegedly slapping the SDM. A native of Chhabrageographically close to AntaNaresh is being viewed as a potential BJP contender if a by-election is held.
Shops in Jaipur rename Pak sweets to reflect popular sentiments
From Mysore Pak to Swarna Bhasma Pak, many popular sweets get a new name, thanks to local people claiming the term Pak reminded them of Pakistan
'Mysore Pak' Now 'Mysore Shree': Jaipur Confectioners Remove 'Pak' From Name Of Their Sweets
The name change is complete in at least three famous confectionaries, which have dropped 'Pak' from the entire range of their traditional sweets and replaced it with 'Shree' instead.
Following Operation Sindoor, sweet shop owners in Jaipur renamed traditional desserts like Mysore Pak, Moti Pak, etc. to remove Pak due to its perceived association with Pakistan. However, linguists clarified that Pak stems from ancient Indian languages, meaning cooked or syrupy. Critics argue that altering such names distorts culinary heritage and misdirects patriotic fervor.
In a wave of patriotic fervor, Jaipur sweet shops are renaming sweets that traditionally end with 'Pak' to 'Shree' following recent terror attacks and India's response. This symbolic gesture, embraced by establishments like Tyohaar Sweets and Bombay Misthan Bhandar, aims to instill national pride and send a strong message of unity.
Sweet shops rename Mysore Pak to Mysore Shree amid India-Pak tensions
Amid rising India-Pakistan tensions, sweet shops in Jaipur, Rajasthan, have taken the unusual step of renaming popular sweets by dropping the word Pak from their names. A shopkeeper told NDTV that they replaced Pak with Shree across all their sweets. For example, Moti Pak is now Moti Shree, Gond Pak has become Gond Shree, and Get the latest updates in Hyderabad City News , Technology , Entertainment , Sports , Politics and Top Stories on WhatsApp & Telegram by subscribing to our channels.

Every drop of Indian blood will be avenged: PM Modi warns Pakistan
JAIPUR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed Pakistan for using terrorism as a weapon against India on Thursday and asserted that the hostile neighbour and its economy will have to pay a heavy price for every terrorist attack in future. Addressing his first public meeting in Rajasthan after Operation Sindoor , PM Modi spoke at length about the strikes carried out by India's armed forces in Pakistan on May 7 following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people on April 22. Speaking to a large gathering during the inauguration of various development projects in Bikaner district, PM Modi declared that Pakistan will not get a drop of water from rivers over which India has rights and claimed there was no scope for talks with Pakistan. At the meeting in Palana, about 20 km from Bikaner on the Indo-Pak border in Rajasthan, the Prime Minister said, Pakistan will now onwards have to pay a heavy price for every terrorist attack ...Pakistans army will pay it, Pakistans economy will pay it. PM Modi said Operation Sindoor was the embodiment of a new India that will strike forcefully and fearlessly at the heart of terror. Launching a scathing attack on Pakistan, PM Modi vowed a firm response to any hostile action from the neighbouring country. In his 40-minute speech, Modi sent a strong message: Every drop of Indian blood will be avenged. Those who play with the lives of Indians will not be spared, he declared. India is no longer afraid of nuclear threats. Those who shed Indian blood will pay dearly for every drop, asserted PM Modi. Earlier on Thursday morning, the Prime Minister inaugurated 103 redeveloped railway stations across the country from Deshnok, near the Pakistan border. He also flagged off the Bikaner-Bandra train and laid the foundation stone for various development projects worth Rs 26,000 crore. Modi arrived at Nal Airbase in Bikaner and proceeded to the Karni Mata temple to offer prayers. From there, he reached Palana to address the public gathering. Referring to the recent Pahalgam attack, Modi said, On the 22nd, India eliminated nine major terrorist hideouts within 22 minutes. The world has now seen what happens when sindoor (vermilion) turns into gunpowder. Drawing a historical parallel, Modi recalled the 2019 Balakot airstrikes. After the Balakot operation, my first public rally was held in Rajasthan. Once again, history repeats itself. After Operation Sindoor, I am addressing the people from Veerbhoomi (land of the brave), he said. There will be no trade, no talks with Pakistan. If there is any conversation, it will be only about Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, he declared. Outlining the principles behind Operation Sindoor, the Prime Minister said, First, any terrorist attack on India will receive a befitting reply, on our terms. Thevl tme, method, and conditions will be chosen by our forces. Second, India will not be intimidated by nuclear threats. Third, we will not differentiate between terrorist organizations and the governments that support them they will be treated as one. Modi further said, Pakistan knows it cannot win a conventional war against India. Thats why it has weaponised terrorism. But it has forgotten that Modi, the servant of Mother India, stands firm with a proud chest. My mind remains calm, but my blood is hot. It is no longer blood, but burning sindoor flowing through my veins. The Prime Ministers fiery speech comes amid heightened national security concerns and rising tensions along the border. His message in Bikaner was loud and clear India will not tolerate terrorism and will retaliate with full force.

Cracks and landslips on NH spark protests in Kerala; Gadkari urged to act
KOZHIKODE: As several sections of roads constructed under the NH 66 widening project continued to cave in and develop cracks in various parts of northern Kerala, peoples representatives have sought the urgent intervention of Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari. On Wednesday, multiple landslips at the NH construction site at Kuppam in Kannur triggered protests by residents who blocked the road. The landslips were reported twice in a single day on the stretch. In Kasaragod, a crack measuring 72 feet in length appeared on the NH near Mavungal, near the location where a crack had developed on Tuesday. The service road near Kooliyangal, near Kanhangad, also collapsed, heightening concerns about the quality of road work in the area. IUML MP E T Muhammed Basheer, who met Gadkari in Delhi and raised the issue, said the minister has promised to take action against the contractor. We have also called for the setting up of a panel comprising experts from IIT Delhi, he said. Meanwhile, Kozhikode MP M K Raghavan, in a letter, asked Gadkari to take immediate steps to address the issue before the onset of monsoon. There are many places in Kozhikode where hills were razed unscientifically for the construction of the road, he said. Residents of Kuppam alleged landslips have been occurring in the area intermittently since Tuesday, and they fear the situation could worsen at night when visibility is poor. They claimed that neither the district collector nor officials from the National Highways Authority visited the site. Residents stage protest at Kuppam The landslip took place at a site where a hill had been excavated for ongoing NH construction.The absence of a proper drainage system caused the mud and debris to enter nearby homes, said Biju, Kuppam resident. After the protest halted vehicular movement, police personnel reached the spot to manage traffic and divert vehicles from the affected area. Later, Taliparamba RDO T V Ranjith, tahsildar P Sajeevan, panchayat president T Sheeba and others reached the spot. In the evening, NHAI authorities and representatives of the contractor company held discussions with the residents. The residents dispersed after assurances from the NH Authority that their project manager and an expert inspection team would visit the site promptly. Meanwhile, an expert team from the NHAI inspected the site where the retaining wall of the under-construction stretch of NH 66 collapsed at Kooriyad in Malappuram on Monday. The team comprising Dr Anil Dixit from Jaipur and Dr Jimmy Thomas from Kochi conducted a preliminary assessment of the damaged section, which includes both the main highway and the service road. According to initial observations, no irregularities were found in the construction of the protective wall, which was built using cement blocks. The initial conclusion points to a soil-related issue, said Jimmy Thomas. We need to conduct a detailed analysis of all aspects, including soil composition, road design, and construction methodology. Only after a thorough study can we confirm the exact cause, he said. The Youth Congress took out a protest march in Kooriyad on Wednesday. The demonstrators, led by state leaders including Abin Varkey, marched towards the office of KNR Constructions Ltd, accusing it of negligence and demanding accountability. Meanwhile, unrest is also brewing in Kunniyoormala in Koyilandi, Kozhikode, with residents complaining that their houses are under threat due to unscientific land excavation and road construction. Around 50 houses on both sides of the service road are facing the risk of collapse. Its a hilly area and when NH authorities excavated the hill to build the underpass, they used the soil nailing technology to prevent mudslides. However, the technology has proven unscientific and many sections of the NH in Kozhikode district have collapsed during rain, said Bhaskaran, a resident of Kunniyoormala. There residents have demanded that the government take over the houses facing the risk. In Kasaragod, the district administration has implemented a contingency plan to prevent rain-related disasters on the NH. The collector has assigned tahsildars to monitor the disaster management work. District Collector Inbasekar K directed the NHAI and the construction contractor to take action to prevent landslides and waterlogging before the onset of monsoon. An expert committee appointed by the collector to study disaster management on NHs in the district found identified problems at 56 places. Its detailed report was presented at a meeting of peoples representatives and officials on Wednesday.
On Rajiv death anniversary, Gehlot takes Manesar jibe at Pilot
JAIPUR: Internal squabbles within the Congress in Rajasthan came to the fore on Wednesday, the death anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, with former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot again targeting his rival and senior leader Sachin Pilot. Gehlot also took a dig at the partys state president, Govind Singh Dotasara. Political circles are abuzz over the deepening of rift in the state unit. Speaking at a commemorative event, Gehlot remarked that Dotasaras rise within the party was a direct result of the July 2020 Manesar incident, when Pilot led a group of Congress MLAs in a revolt against Gehlots leadership. The former CM said, It is a big thing to complete three terms as Chief Minister. You all know the government was saved in the third term - it was a miracle. We completed five years due to the blessings of the high command and your prayers. Otherwise, there was no question of completing the term. Dotasara is also a gift of that time. In 2020, during Gehlots third tenure as CM, then-Deputy Chief Minister and Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief Sachin Pilot, along with a group of supporting MLAs, camped in Manesar, triggering a major political crisis. Gehlot had alleged that Pilot and his faction were conspiring with the BJP to topple his government. Amid that crisis, Gehlot had elevated Dotasara, who has since emerged as a powerful figure within the party. The Rajasthan Congress has been divided between the Gehlot and Pilot factions for over a decade. Political observers suggest that Gehlots repeated references to Dotasara hint at his growing unease with the latters rising influence.

Sethubandhanam: An exhibition that captures how art binds three generations of a family
At Sethubandhanam, an art exhibition at the Durbar Hall Art Gallery in Kochi, the eclectic tastes of three generations are on display. Art, to the family members, is a sethu or a bridge that connects them. The show opens with the works of the patriarch, who left behind a collection of creations. K Balasubramanian was a known figure in the art world an artist, playwright, and illustrator. His works, spanning from the early 1960s, have been proudly showcased here. Nearby, one can see creations by his children Shalini B Menon and Kailash Menon. Different, yet a continuation of a creatively inclined family. While Balasubramanians works mostly centre around illustrations published in magazines such as Chandrika and Mathrubhumi , his childrens works are in watercolour and acrylic, each on different tangents. See these strong lines, thats something you can find in the art of those days, explains Shalini, a painter and sculptor. He drew them with pencils and ballpoint pens, and each line stood out. Its like creating magic. Most of his works were born out of necessity. They were part of work, the only source of income back then. He didnt have the privilege of time to pursue art at leisure. From illustrations for short stories to comic strips, and the rare oil paintings and crayon works, the first hall of the exhibition is filled with Balasubramanians monochrome pieces. It gets more colourful as one explores further. Kailashs paintings capture the hidden beauty of veils across cultures the ghoonghat, hijab, and the mysterious faces behind them, in subtle elegance. It is a political subject. However, in my travels in Rajasthan, I came across many women who wear the veils, from various cultures. I just wanted to depict the beauty for now, the femininity, the colours and the atmosphere, he explains. The NIFT graduate has always worked in creative fields textiles, fashion or art. And when he dedicates himself to pursuing art, inspiration comes from various quarters mythology, culture, his travels, and personal experiences. You can see, along with a few paintings from my series Sisterhood, there are also a few works that admire the architecture of Jaipur, he adds. His most recent works an unfinished series are also displayed at the exhibition. Drawing inspiration from Operation Sindoor, the series explores women and the cultural practice of wearing sindoor (vermillion). In the charcoal works, the sindoor stands out in bright red. The other side of the hall is slightly muted beautifully so. Resplendent with the flowing beauty of watercolours, Shalinis works are a nostalgic trip. Stories of childhood. My father always used to talk about Wadakkanchery in Thrissur. His stories were about the people, the serene life of those days, and the temple festival. I tried recreating them, she smiles. Memories are at the core of her works her old family home (tharavadu) just before it was demolished, her aunts, her fathers kalan kuda (crook-handle umbrella), the hills welcoming a roaring rain... Thats what I love to paint exploring the beauty and the melancholy of my memories, tales I heard, and the nature around us. However, I have also started experimenting nowadays, she says, pointing to her most recent works a bangle market, the familiar yet unfamiliar scene of a temple, and so on. The exhibition is striking in its simplicity, be it the way the works are arranged or the way they were chosen. I wanted it to feel intimate, close to heart, just like a family. Its not a curated or elaborate show. But its ours, created, selected and exhibited by us, says Shalini. And Sethubandhanam succeeds in that. It was our father who suggested holding this exhibition. In 2018, when we were all together at our home, he just expressed why not? However, in 2020, my parents died within 19 days, putting a stop to all these plans. It was a hard time for us, says Shalini. None of the artists in the family, including Balasubramanian, ever learnt painting professionally. Everyone began their art journey purely out of interest, and continues out of passion. My background is in finance, Kailash was in the corporate sector, though related to creative art, and our father had tried a bit of everything creative. He had even won a Sahitya Akademi Award for his play Choli. Now, the next generation has also picked up their brushes, Shalini smiles. The third generation Vishnu, Arpana and Agney, all college students have also displayed their experiments with art here. Vishnus sports-themed multimedia collages, Agneys little frames of sketches, and Arpanas watercolour paintings hint at the family affair sustaining. In a way, the thoughts, wishes, dreams, politics, and environment of three generations reflect in their art. And Sethubandhanam has aptly bridged them with hearts and all the chaos of a family.

Rajasthan government issues APOs for SDM, Tehsildar involved in illegal sale of Barmer border land
JAIPUR: Acting on the highly controversial and illegal land sales near the international border in Barmer district, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has ordered APO (Awaiting Posting Orders) for the SDM and Tehsildar of Ramsar involved in these dubious deals. This significant move came after a high-level meeting on Monday night. SDM Anil Kumar Jain has been accused of selling land in a restricted area of Barmer in December last year using forged documents. He allegedly manipulated records to execute power of attorney in the names of his family members and facilitated the registry of the land through fraudulent means. Barmer MP Ummedaram Beniwal and Shiv (Barmer) MLA Ravindra Singh Bhati had previously accused SDM Jain of being a puppet of companies and facilitating land transactions in sensitive border areas. On May 17, tensions escalated in Manihari village of Shiv, where a clash broke out between villagers, police, and the administration. The conflict arose when company workers reportedly attempted to forcibly install high-tension electric poles in a field. When the affected family resisted, company representatives called the police. During the confrontation, SDM Anil Kumar Jain was allegedly seen manhandling a woman, which further fueled public outrage. MLA Ravindra Singh Bhati condemned the incident and reiterated his allegations against Jain, stating that the SDM was complicit in corporate land dealings near the border. Reacting to the APO orders, Bhati remarked, This is the result of the peoples struggle. In addition to the Ramsar officials, the Chief Minister also issued APOs to SDO Gulab Chand Verma and the Tehsildar of Raipur (Beawar) over administrative lapses. Just days earlier, the SPs of Jhunjhunu and Bikaner were APO-ed following reported security lapses during the Chief Ministers visits. Monday nights video conference was attended by the Chief Minister along with the Chief Ministers Office (CMO), District Secretaries, Divisional Commissioners, District Collectors, and Superintendents of Police. During the meeting, CM Sharma issued a stern message, stating that his government would pursue a policy of zero tolerance toward corruption. The Chief Minister also reviewed key administrative issues including the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Garibi Mukt Gaon Yojana, the status of applications under the National Food Security Act (NFSA), pending disciplinary actions against staff, land allocation related to budget announcements, public grievance hearings, and the issue of illegal mining. He instructed officials to take necessary steps to ensure effective implementation. Reiterating his stand, Chief Minister Sharma said, Officers must be held accountable to ensure that the benefits of government schemes reach the last person. Any negligence will not be tolerated.

A street of ambition & absence
The sun in Chennai does not merely shine it gradually starts asserting dominance. In the morning, its rays gently prod the skin as a prelude to the heat that grows to be unstoppable by noon. By afternoon, a fleeting breeze offers brief respite, only to be replaced by a humid cloak enveloping the rest of the day. Yet, for the vendors of Pantheon Road (Cotton Street), this relentless cycle is a routine. Their response: Athu enna ? Summer avlo thaane ? Their daily toil under the unforgiving sun mirrors the broader struggles of the working class persistent but often invisible in the citys wider narrative. Here on Cotton Street a narrow, densely packed strip of authorised street vendors in central Chennai bolts of fabric and routines of commerce mask deeper stories: of inherited labour, quiet ambition, and a total absence of women in public-facing roles. No place for women Cotton dominates the visuals. Neatly arranged fabrics stretch in orderly stacks, from plain weaves to intricate patterns checks, stripes, florals in every shade, from deep blues to soft pastels. Synthetic blends, linens, and silks are sorted with care. Scarves sway as ends tether to rods; shirts and trousers rest in tall piles. The uniformity reflects discipline built over years. But amid all this fabric, something is missing. Not a single stall on Cotton Street is run by a woman. The absence is striking, and reluctantly accepted. Veyil romba jasthi . Ladies-ku kashtam (The heat is too much; its hard for women), says one vendor. Theres no toilet or security, another adds. Showroom is fine, but this is a road, someone shrugs. Pushed further, and the answers fade into silence. Inside a textile shop, slightly removed from the street, a woman works at the billing counter. But when approached, she refuses to speak. The male shop owner offers a few polite lines about stock and business nothing about the near-total invisibility of women in this trade. Inheriting a livelihood For most vendors, this is not just a job its a legacy. Trade on Cotton Street flows through family lines, but rarely across gender. Saravanan, who has worked on Cotton Street for eight years, entered the trade through his father. My dad used to do thuni (cloth) business. After finishing my degree, I joined Cotton Street. His mother runs a boutique. His brother is in the business too. But when asked about sisters or female cousins entering the trade, he asserts: Ladies havent worked here. Prabhu, folding fabric outside his chittappas kadai for the last three years, recalls weekends when crowds pour in. Romba busy Saturday, Sunday the streets would be crowded. People from all age groups would come. School pasanga , old people, everyone. His stock includes export surplus from Surat and Kolkata, sometimes blends from Guduvancherry. Tailors, designers, even actors stop by to buy. Behind the display Despite the colour and commerce, the work is tough and comforts a few. There are no public toilets. Some stalls dont even have a fan. We we experience searing headache and dizziness. But this is normal for us now, says Prabhu. They fold, sell, endure always in still, hot air. The earnings vary. Some days, we get Rs 600. For food, another expenses, Rs 100 is gone. If lucky, we would make Rs 1,200, Prabhu says. Most vendors are part of Pantheon Thozhilar Sangam, a loosely structured union that has existed for decades. We (the ones who dont own a store yet) get paid through the owners. If we have issues, we approach the Sangam, shares Prabhu. There is a fixed rent for the stalls that they pay to the government, `100 every month through DD. There is also the unavoidable negotiation with heat, customers and stall owners. And yet, ambition persists quiet, but steady. Saravanan dreams of going beyond his street stall. I want to buy a shop like this. I want something of my own. Others take pride in who comes to buy. Mathiyazhagan lights up while stating that his shop is preferred by the people from the film industry and political circles. Sampathkumar, a veteran of the street for over four decades, remembers its beginnings: First there was palaka (a wooden slab). Then only four stalls. Now 77 stalls. There is a lot of improvement. His goods come from Royapuram, Erode, Jaipur, Ahmedabad a circuit built over years, sustained by trust. High-class customers will come, those who purchase from the car. But all that is mostly on weekends, he says bluntly. The customers experience of running their hands on the fabrics, testing the quality, and fully convincing themselves before choosing, makes it wholesome; one that is probably lost with the advent of purchasing by just a click. Even in an era of online marketplaces and climate strain, Cotton Street takes up its own significance powered by human connection. The fabric sold here is only half the story. The rest the heat, the labour is not displayed, but worn by the sellers.

Hanuman Beniwal's remarks on Rajput kings stirs controversy; Karni Sena threatens strong retaliation
JAIPUR: Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) chief and Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal has sparked a huge political storm with his controversial remarks on Rajasthans historical kings. His statement, made during a protest speech, has drawn sharp condemnation from both the BJP and Congress, and has triggered a fierce backlash from the Karni Sena, which has threatened a strong and organised retaliation. Beniwal, who has been on a sit-in protest for the past 20 days demanding the cancellation of the Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment exam and the dissolution of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC), stirred controversy over the weekend by stating that except for Maharana Pratap and Raja Surajmal, none of the rajasthan rulers fought the Mughals. He further alleged that most kings, rather than resisting, would march 70 kilometers ahead of the battlefield and offer their daughters to the Mughals. His comments were swiftly condemned by BJP state president Madan Rathore, who called Beniwals views a product of a frustrated mindset. Rathore advised him to study Rajasthans glorious history before making such statements. If he had read history, he would know about Rana Sanga, Rana Kumbha, Prithviraj Chauhan, Amar Singh Rathore, and Durgadas Rathore - legendary warriors who epitomise Rajasthans valour, Rathore said. But how would he know? He is always busy with petty politics. His words insult not just our history but the spirit of the nation. Congress leader and former minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas also condemned Beniwals remarks. Rajasthan is a land of bravery and sacrifice. Anyone commenting on its history should first study it carefully. From Maharana Pratap to Prithviraj Chauhan, Sawai Man Singh to Maharaja Surajmal - our soil has given birth to heroes who are revered even today. The sharpest response came from the Kshatriya Karni Sena. Its national president Dr. Raj Shekhawat called Beniwals comments indecent and disrespectful to Rajput ancestors and Kshatrani women. Despite holding a constitutional post, Beniwal has crossed all limits of decency, Shekhawat said. He has insulted our history and our women with false narratives. Dr. Shekhawat, invoking slogans like Jai Kshatra Dharma, Veer Bhogya Vasundhara, and Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah, urged Karni Sena members across the country to prepare for a decisive response. He released a video and social media message vowing that the date, time, and location of their reply will be announced soon. Meanwhile, Beniwal remains firm on his demands regarding the SI recruitment and the RPSC. After objections from Cabinet Minister Dr. Kirori Lal Meena, Beniwal has intensified his allegations, accusing the commission of widespread corruption and nepotism. He has warned of launching a massive statewide agitation if this tricky issue is not settled at the earliest.

Jaipur Diary: Protests in Bikaner ahead of PM visit
Whispers of a political strike doing rounds Talks of a political surgical strike in Rajasthan are making rounds with political defections in the spotlight. In a hush-hush meeting held in Delhi, several opposition leaders, including MPs, reportedly discussed future moves, with many agreeing that it may involve joining the ruling BJP. Names of former ministers and prominent leaders are being whispered in political circles, with some already believed to be in transit. Insiders claim it isnt mere gossip. Its not if, its when, said a source privy to the developments. Observers suggest a wave of defections could follow. As always, denials are flowing in, but silence of key leaders is adding fuel to the fire. Protests in Bikaner ahead of PM visit Ahead of PM Modis visit to Bikaner on May22, state politics seems to be heating up. On Saturday, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma landed in Bikaner to review arrangements, but got a fiery welcome. Waving placards and shouting slogans, Congress workers accused the BJP of insulting the tricolour and the Armed Forces. The protest follows the controversy where BJP MLA Balmukund Acharya was caught on camera wiping sweat with the national flag during a Tiranga Yatra in Jaipur. Bhajanlals convoy seems to attract chaos. From bulls and mystery vehicles barging in, to SPs being punished after recent lapses, the CMs security record is anything but routine. Hamuman Beniwal looks to revive lost ground Hanuman Beniwal is back in the spotlight; hes threatened a massive rally in Jaipur on May 25 if the SI recruitment exam isnt cancelled. But heres the twist: the government might make a crucial decision on this issue on May 20. And to top it off, the Rajasthan High Court will deliver a key verdict on May 26. Insiders say Beniwal is using this row to revive the flagging fortunes of his Rashtriya Loktantrik Party which has been slipping lately. Beniwal fought the Lok Sabha polls alongside Congress, but key leaders defecting to Congress dealt his party a big blow. Rumours say he is getting secret backing from BJP to pressure CM Bhajanlal Sharma ahead of the cabinet reshuffle. Rajesh Asnani Our correspondent in Jaipur rajesh.asnani@newindianexpress.com
Cant help economies of nations working against India, says Jagdeep Dhankhar
NEW DELHI: Amid growing calls to boycott products from, and travel to, Turkey for allegedly supporting Pakistan against India, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, without explicitly naming Turkey, asserted on Saturday that India should not afford to engage with countries that stand against it in times of crisis. He said, We can no longer afford to travel or import. To empower countries that is inimical to our interests and positioned against us in times of crisis. Speaking at the annual convocation of the Jaipuria Institute of Management, the Vice President emphasised the need for economic nationalism. The economy of those countries improved because of our participation. And those countries in times of crisis are positioned against us. And therefore, I firmly believe that we must always keep one thing in mind, he asserted, adding further that Nation First should be the guiding principle and basis of all decisions. Expressing concern over thegrowing commercialisation of education, he said the country could no longer afford the commercialisation and commodification of education. It is undeniable, and a matter of grave concern, that this is present. We must have change of mindsets, he asserted. Commending Indias armed forces for their bravery during Operation Sindoor against terror outfits based in Pakistan, the VP called it a fitting response to the barbaric Pahalgam attack. It was a remarkable retaliation, befitting our ethos of peace and tranquility to the barbarity that happened at Pahalgamthe deadliest attack on our civilians since the 2008 Mumbai terror attack. He also praised PM Modis leadership for delivering the strongest ever-imagined response to the perpetrators of terrorism. The world has now realized and no one is asking for proof now, he added. Taking a side swipe at Pakistan, Dhankhar said, When coffins are taken with armed forces and military power and political power accompanying them, justice is done by Bharat to Sindoor in sublimity.

V-P Dhankhar draws similarities between Op Sindoor, Osama bin Laden's killing
NEW DELHI: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Saturday drew similarities between Operation Sindoor and the killing of Osama bin Laden by US forces in Pakistan. Describing the attacks on nine terror sites in Pakistan as the deepest-ever cross-border strike by India, the vice president recalled the September 11, 2001, terror attacks in the United States. Without naming bin Laden, he said that on May 2, 2011, a global terrorist who planned, supervised, and executed the September 11 attacks inside the US was dealt with by the US forces, similarly. Bharat has done it and done it to the knowledge of the world, he said, addressing an event of Jaipuria institutions here. He added that a new global benchmark has been set. While maintaining the spirit of peace, the objective has been to strike at terrorism. For the first time, precise strikes were carried out deep across the International Border on the strongholds of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, he said. He also stated that the strikes were so precise that only terrorists were harmed. Dhankhar said that after the Pahalgam terror attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had given a message to the global community from Bihar. Those were not empty words, the world has now realised, he added. He also stated that the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed at least 26 lives, was the deadliest assault on civilians since the Mumbai attacks.

JAIPUR: The Rajasthan government has challenged the acquittal of Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam, and Sonali Bendre in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, in which superstar Salman Khan was convicted in 2018. The matter was heard on Friday in the Rajasthan High Court, where a plea for leave to appeal was taken up. Justice Manoj Kumar Garg directed that the case be listed along with other related matters. According to Advocate Mahipal Vishnoi, the incident occurred on 1 October 1998, during the shooting of the film Hum Saath-Saath Hain in Kankani village near Jodhpur. It was alleged that the actors, led by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, had hunted blackbucks, a protected species under the Wildlife Protection Act. On 5 April 2018, the trial court convicted actor Salman Khan and sentenced him to five years in prison. However, co-accused Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam, Sonali Bendre, and a local man, Dushyant Singh, were acquitted due to lack of evidence and were given the benefit of the doubt. In its petition, the state government has sought permission to transfer related matters and include Salman Khan's conviction as part of the broader appealover seven years after the verdict was delivered in a Jodhpur court. The High Court has scheduled the next hearing for 28 July, when all related cases will be heard together. Following his conviction in April 2018, Salman Khan was sent to Jodhpur Central Jail. However, on 7 April 2018, the District and Sessions Court granted him conditional bail on a surety of Rs 50,000, and he was released the same day. Currently, he remains out on bail, while the case continues to be pending before the High Court. In 1998, a total of five cases were registered against actor Salman Khan and his co-stars, including Sonali Bendre, Tabu, Saif Ali Khan, Satish Shah, and some locals of Jodhpur, for allegedly hunting two blackbucks and one chinkara during the shooting of the film Hum Saath-Saath Hain. Salman Khan gets relief in Blackbuck poaching case, pens note of thanks for fans In the Kankani Village case, on 5 April 2018, Salman Khan was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison. He was sent to Jodhpur Central Jail. However, on 7 April 2018, the District and Sessions Court granted him conditional bail on a surety of Rs 50,000, and he was released the same day. He is currently out on bail, and the matter remains pending in the Rajasthan High Court. In the Ghoda Farmhouse case, the CJM Court in Jodhpur sentenced Salman Khan to five years in prison on 10 April 2006. He challenged the verdict in the High Court, which acquitted him on 25 July 2016. The Rajasthan government appealed the acquittal in the Supreme Court, where the matter is still pending. In the Bhavad Village case, on 17 February 2006, the CJM Court convicted Salman Khan and sentenced him to one year in prison. The High Court later acquitted him. The state government filed an appeal in the Supreme Court, and the case is still under consideration. In the Arms Act case, on 18 January 2017, Salman Khan was acquitted in a case filed under the Arms Act. The state government challenged the acquittal in the High Court, and the matter is still pending. In all these multiple cases, the other actors and actresses have so far escaped any conviction or penalties. But with the Rajasthan government once again pleading in court, troubles for the Bollywood stars could mount, nearly 27 years after the alleged poaching scandals!
