CAA rollout to be fast-tracked, says Amit Shah in Kolkata
Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, emphasized the urgency of granting citizenship under the CAA while also vowing to eliminate infiltrators. During a ceremony in Kolkata, he laid the groundwork for a towering 125-foot statue of Syama Prasad Mookerjee, praising West Bengal's CM Suvendu Adhikari for his swift progress on commitments.
Kolkata, July 6: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said the abrogation of Article 370 by the Narendra Modi government fulfilled the long-standing vision of Syama Prasad Mookerjee, asserting that Jammu and Kashmir is now an integral part of India. Addressing a commemorative event marking the 125th birth anniversary of Syama Prasad Mookerjee in Kolkata, Shah said Mookerjee had sacrificed his life while opposing the special constitutional status of Jammu and Kashmir under the slogan, Ek desh mein do Vidhan, do Pradhan, do Nishan nahi chalenge (One nation cannot have two constitutions, two prime ministers and two flags). Dr Mookerjee gave his life for the complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir with India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi fulfilled his resolve by removing Article 370. Today, Jammu and Kashmir is an inseparable part of India, Shah said. The Home Minister also recalled Mookerjee's opposition to the Nehru-Liaquat Pact, saying he had resigned from the first Union Cabinet because he believed the agreement failed to safeguard the interests of Hindus who had remained in Pakistan and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Shah said the Modi government had also fulfilled another of Mookerjee's objectives by enacting the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), which provides a pathway to Indian citizenship for persecuted religious minorities from neighbouring countries. We have removed Article 370, granted citizenship to persecuted Hindu refugees through the CAA, and we will identify and remove every infiltrator from Indian soil to make the country more secure, he said. Speaking at the event, Shah announced that a 125-foot statue of Syama Prasad Mookerjee would be installed in Kolkata, describing it as more than a memorial and calling it he beginning of the resolve for Sonar Bangla. He said a Syama Prasad Mookerjee Institute dedicated to research on India's national security would also be established alongside the statue. Shah said Mookerjee's vision of combining cultural nationalism with modern development was being realised under Prime Minister Modi's leadership. His belief was that the policies of independent India should reflect the fragrance of India's own soil, not be influenced by Western thinking. Under Prime Minister Modi, that vision has begun to take concrete shape, he said. Referring to Mookerjee's role in founding the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, Shah said the organisation had grown into the Bharatiya Janata Party, which now governs a majority of India's population and territory. The Home Minister also praised the West Bengal government for declaring Mookerjee's birth anniversary a public holiday and said the state had begun implementing several commitments, including welfare schemes, anti-corruption measures, women's safety initiatives, and steps to identify illegal infiltrators. Shah accused previous Communist and Trinamool Congress governments of pushing West Bengal backwards and expressed confidence that the current government would fulfil its electoral promises and lay the foundation for a Sonar Bangla. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recorded message was also played during the event, which was attended by West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and other dignitaries.
Kolkata, Jul 6: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the abrogation of Article 370 had fulfilled the dream of Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee while asserting that his ideology and principles continue to shape the BJP's governance agenda and guide New India. Addressing a commemorative programme through a video message on Mookerjee's 125th birth anniversary, Modi described him as a visionary, patriot and champion of national unity, and drew a direct ideological link between the Jana Sangh founder's political struggles and several of the BJP's signature policy decisions, including the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status. Today, the nation and West Bengal are remembering a great son of the soil, a great patriot who was dedicated to the integrity of India, Modi said while lauding the newly formed BJP government in West Bengal for honouring the nationalist leader's legacy. In remarks carrying strong political and ideological overtones, the Prime Minister linked the BJP-led Centre's decision to revoke Jammu and Kashmir's special constitutional status in August 2019 with Mookerjee's long-standing opposition to Article 370 and his campaign for the complete integration of the erstwhile state with the rest of the country. The constitutional arrangement allowed the state to maintain its own constitution, fly a separate state flag, and use distinct titles for its leaders -- Prime Minister, and not the chief minister, and Sadar-e-Riyasat in place of governor. Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee was completely dedicated to the vision of one India, supreme India. He gave the nation the mantra that one country cannot have two constitutions, two heads and two symbols. This was not merely a slogan; it was a call for equal rights, an equal Constitution and an equal national consciousness, he added. Recalling Mookerjee's arrest during his agitation against Jammu and Kashmir's special status and his death in custody in 1953, Modi said the Jana Sangh founder had fought for his convictions till the very end. He fought for his principles, went to jail and ultimately made the supreme sacrifice for Kashmir. Today, our government takes pride in the fact that by dismantling the wall of Article 370, we have fulfilled Dr Mookerjee's dream, the Prime Minister said. He also used the occasion to stress Mookerjee's role during the Partition, particularly in safeguarding the interests of Bengal when, according to him, efforts were being made to include the entire province in Pakistan. Dr Mookerjee stood firm against these conspiracies. He mobilised public opinion, fought political battles and ensured that Bengal remained an integral part of India, Modi said. Congress divided the country, and I divided Pakistan, he quoted Mookerjee. The PM repeatedly highlighted the role of the BJP government in West Bengal in commemorating the Jana Sangh founder, describing it as a reflection of a governance philosophy centred on Nation First. Just a few days ago, on June 20, Paschimbanga Divas was organised in a grand manner. It was a salute to the land of Bengal and its heritage. Today's programme is part of the same effort to honour our heritage. I congratulate the West Bengal government for organising such a grand event, he said. Today's programme is also a testament to the fact that when there is a government committed to Nation First, national heroes are honoured and every effort is made to work according to their vision, Modi said. The Prime Minister noted that the Centre was observing Mookerjee's 125th birth anniversary as a two-year national commemoration. It began on July 6 last year and will continue till July 6 next year, he said. Describing Mookerjee's life as an example of how conviction, ideological clarity and commitment could transform an idea into a mass movement, Modi said his journey represented the power of a deeply held belief backed by sustained public engagement. Tracing the origins of the Jana Sangh, Modi said Mookerjee had introduced ideological diversity into Indian politics at a time when the Congress dominated the national landscape and alternative political viewpoints struggled to find space. It was then that Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee dared to embrace a new idea, challenging all those circumstances, he said. According to Modi, the formation of the Jana Sangh represented far more than the launch of a political organisation. It was an expression of unwavering faith in ideological diversity in democracy, national reflection and public participation. It was from this very faith that the Bharatiya Jana Sangh was born, he said. The PM also paid tribute to generations of Jana Sangh and BJP workers who, he said, dedicated their lives to preserving and nurturing that ideological movement through decades of political struggle. An ideology does not become immortal merely because it is founded. It becomes immortal when generations nurture and carry it forward. Several workers devoted their entire lives to keeping the ideology and principles of Jana Sangh alive, he said. Modi drew a direct line from the Jana Sangh to the BJP, saying, That same Bharatiya Jana Sangh is today serving the people as the Bharatiya Janata Party, the world's largest democratic force. He said Mookerjee's ideas were not only relevant in contemporary India but were helping shape the country's future. His ideology is flourishing in the present and giving direction to a new India, Modi said. Expressing confidence that Mookerjee's contribution would remain central to the BJP's narrative, Modi said future generations would continue to draw inspiration from his courage, vision and commitment to national unity. I am fully confident that when future generations write the history of the Bharatiya Janata Party's journey and study it, they will certainly mention Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee's ideas, courage and foresight, he said.

Women's T20 WC: Mooney Stars As Australia Crush England To Lift Record-extending Seventh Title
T20 World Cup: Australia underlined their dominance in women's cricket once again as opener Beth Mooney and youngster Phoebe Litchfield shared a match-winning 100-run partnership to guide the six-time champions to a commanding seven-wicket victory over England in the final of the Women's T20 World Cup 2026 at Lord's Cricket Ground on Sunday. Chasing 151, Australia reached the target in just 17.1 overs to lift a record-extending seventh Women's T20 World Cup title. The triumph added to Australia's previous title-winning campaigns in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2020 and 2023, giving them two separate hat-tricks of consecutive championships and further strengthening their position as the most successful team in the history of the tournament. Chasing a competitive target of 151, Australia began cautiously, managing only six runs in the opening over with just one boundary. Opener Georgia Voll then looked to change the momentum in the second over, striking a couple of boundaries before Lauren Bell struck back on the fifth ball of the over. Voll was clean bowled after scoring nine off six deliveries, giving England an early breakthrough. Phoebe Litchfield walked in at No. 3 and immediately looked comfortable at the crease, hitting a boundary off the very first ball she faced. At the other end, Beth Mooney settled quickly before launching the counterattack. She found the boundary once in the third over and followed it up with three fours in the fourth over to put England's bowlers under pressure. Litchfield matched her senior partner's intent by smashing a four and a six in the fifth over as Australia quickly shifted the momentum in their favour. Although Linsey Smith bowled an economical sixth over, Australia still raced to 62/1 at the end of the powerplay. The scoring rate did not slow after the fielding restrictions. Mooney and Litchfield continued to rotate the strike smartly while ensuring at least one boundary came almost every over. Their positive approach steadily took Australia closer to another world title. The 10th over proved particularly costly for England as Lauren Bell conceded 11 runs, allowing Australia to move to 98/1 at the halfway mark of the chase with the target firmly within reach. Mooney brought up her half-century with a single in the 13th over, registering her ninth score of fifty or more in Women's T20 World Cup history to equal Nat Sciver-Brunt's record. England finally ended the century partnership on the last ball of the 13th over when Charlie Dean clean bowled Litchfield. The young batter narrowly missed out on a deserved half-century, departing for 48 after striking four fours and two sixes. Their 100-run stand became the second-highest partnership in the history of a Women's T20 World Cup final, behind the partnership between Hayley Matthews and Stafanie Taylor in the 2016 final in Kolkata. Despite losing her partner, Mooney ensured there would be no late twist. She struck three boundaries in the following over as Australia's victory became a mere formality, with only 22 runs required from the final six overs. Ellyse Perry, after a quiet start, joined the party by hitting a boundary in the 15th over as Australia closed in on the target. England managed one final breakthrough when Sophie Ecclestone trapped Mooney leg before wicket after a successful review. Mooney's outstanding knock of 64 from 49 balls included 10 boundaries and had already taken the game away from the hosts. Perry then received a reprieve in the next over when Ecclestone was unable to complete a difficult catch cleanly. The experienced all-rounder remained unbeaten on 13 as Australia crossed the finish line with 17 balls to spare to seal another memorable World Cup triumph. Earlier, England recovered well after a difficult start to post 150/4, thanks to an unbeaten 58 from captain Nat Sciver-Brunt and an equally important unbeaten 44 from Freya Kemp. After being asked to bat first, England lost Amy Jones and Danni Wyatt-Hodge inside the powerplay before Alice Capsey briefly counterattacked with 23 from 20 balls. Australia continued to strike at regular intervals, with Heather Knight also falling cheaply. Sciver-Brunt then anchored the innings with a composed knock, rotating the strike effectively before accelerating in the closing overs. Kemp provided the perfect support, adding quick runs during the death overs as the unbeaten pair lifted England to what appeared to be a competitive total. Sciver-Brunt's 58 not out from 53 balls, featuring five boundaries, also made her the first England player to score a half-century in both the semifinal and the final of a Women's T20 World Cup. Kemp remained unbeaten on 44 from 28 deliveries, hitting four fours and a six. Sciver-Brunt then anchored the innings with a composed knock, rotating the strike effectively before accelerating in the closing overs. Kemp provided the perfect support, adding quick runs during the death overs as the unbeaten pair lifted England to what appeared to be a competitive total. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Brief Scores: England 150/4 in 20 overs (Nat Sciver-Brunt 58*, Freya Kemp 44*, Alice Capsey 23; Lucy Hamilton 1-19, Kim Garth 1-20) lost to Australia in 153/5 in 17.1 overs (Beth Mooney 64, Phoebe Litchfield 48; Sophie Ecclestone 1-24, Charlotte Dean 1-28) by 7 wickets.
