Political Turmoil Erupts Over Controversial Posters in Saharanpur
Controversial posters referencing the Muzaffarnagar riots spark political outrage in Saharanpur amid mosque demolition tensions. Political Turmoil Erupts Over Controversial Posters in Saharanpur
Posters referring to Muzaffarnagar riots surface in Lucknow, Saharanpur; trigger row
New Delhi, Sep 7 (IANS) Controversial posters referring to the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots were put up in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur and Lucknow, triggering a political controversy at a time when tensions over the demolition of an old mosque inside the Saharanpur Collectorate complex are already high. The posters carried a photograph of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav alongside a reference to the Muzaffarnagar riots. The message on the posters read, Na bhoole the, na bhoole hai, na bhoolenge (roughly translated to -- We have never forgotten, nor have we forgotten, nor will we forget) - December 7, Muzaffarnagar. Police acted swiftly after the posters were spotted and removed them from the locations. A search has now been launched to identify and trace the person or persons responsible for putting up the posters. Police are examining footage from CCTV cameras installed in the surrounding areas and are also looking at other available evidence as part of the investigation. Saharanpur Congress MP Imran Masood, speaking to IANS, condemned the act and called for strict action against those responsible, saying that attempts to disturb communal harmony should not be allowed to succeed. Strict action should be taken against those who have put up these posters. Some people want to spoil the atmosphere, but we will not let the atmosphere deteriorate at any cost. We want to preserve the character of our city. This is a city of love, not a city of hatred, Masood said. The appearance of the posters has added fuel to the Saharanpur Collectorate mosque demolition row. The Congress MP said that the demolition issue would now be pursued through legal channels, with the dispute expected to be taken before the court. This is the administration's job, and they are doing it. Now that the mosque has been demolished, the fight will have to be taken to court. All these disputes are about papers and documents. We have those documents with us, so we will fight it in court and go to court. There is no point in talking to the officials, Masood said. Opposition parties have accused the BJP-led state government of promoting communal politics and carrying out targeted action against a particular community ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. The demolition followed a legal dispute over the status of the structure and the land on which it stood. A district court had dismissed an appeal against an earlier order holding that the structure had been built on government land and was unauthorised. The September 2 order itself did not specifically mention demolition. Instead, it dismissed the appeal and upheld an earlier order passed by a magistrate on July 16. The July 16 order had directed the eviction of the mosque under the Uttar Pradesh Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1972, after concluding that the structure occupied 315 square metres of government land.

CM Yogi lays foundation stones for 229 development projects worth Rs 1,051 Cr
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Thursday extended Shri Krishna Janmashtami greetings to the people of the state from the sacred land of Braj. He inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 229 development projects worth Rs 1,051 crore, including the Swami Shri Haridas Auditorium at the Gita Research Institute and Rasleela Academy, Vrindavan. These included the inauguration of 62 projects worth more than Rs 540 crore and the foundation laying of 167 projects costing more than Rs 437 crore. In addition, an amount of more than Rs 72 crore was transferred to the accounts of beneficiaries under the housing scheme. Citing the examples of Braj, Ayodhya, Kashi and other places, the Chief Minister stated, Foreign invaders may have demolished temples, but they could never shake our devotion. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath observed that Swami Haridas Ji Maharaj gave devotion the form of music. He transformed music into a spiritual practice and connected it with the consciousness of society. His spiritual discipline performed the remarkable task of connecting even an emperor with the essence of devotion. The great musician Tansen was a disciple of Swami Haridas Ji, he said. For a long time, we tried to view development only through the lens of roads, electricity, water, buildings and industries. In the name of development, our heritage continued to be insulted. Attempts were made to erase the heroes of history from Indian memory. First foreign invaders, and then the British, destroyed our history and historical symbols, but the previous governments crossed all limits in neglecting and disrespecting our heritage. CM Yogi said the heritage and celebrations for which Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana, Govardhan and the Baldev region are known today were not possible before 2017. Referring to the disturbances during the Jawahar Bagh incident in June 2016, in which 29 people lost their lives, the Chief Minister said that two police officers were also martyred in the incident. Amid such disturbances, who could have imagined celebrations, development, and the preservation of civilization and culture in the state? A nation becomes great by rediscovering its memory, culture and roots. A society that is conscious of its heritage learns from the world and also teaches the world, he added. CM Yogi said Indias history is not merely a history of achievements, but also a history of struggle, preservation, reconstruction and the continuity of Sanatan. Mathura is its greatest example. The Keshav Dev Temple at Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi has endured numerous attacks. Foreign invaders demolished temples, but they could not erase the memory of Shri Krishna and Radharani. Neither did the celebration of Janmashtami stop, nor did the devotion of Vrindavan cease. Neither did the Holi of Barsana come to a halt, nor did the Govardhan Parikrama stop. This is the strength of Sanatan and Braj, he said. CM Yogi added that history records attacks on temples, yet during the same period, saints such as Swami Haridas on the land of Braj developed through spiritual practice a stream of music whose resonance has continued for centuries. It will continue to attract every musician for eternity. Aurangzeb demolished the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, but the tradition never ended. Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar played a significant role in rebuilding the temple. Today, Kashi Vishwanath Dham is known for its grandeur and modern facilities, he said. In Ayodhya, Babur demolished the grand temple at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi in 1528 and constructed a structure of subjugation in its place, but this did not stop Ram Navami, the Panchkosi, 14 Kosi and 84 Kosi Parikramas, or the Sawan Jhoola Mela. The radiance of Sanatan continued to grow and continued to inspire the spirit of struggle. The result is that a grand temple of Prabhu Shri Ram now stands in Ayodhya. He said that to understand India, one must understand the folk traditions of saints and artists. One must study the revolutionaries and the crores of Indians who kept this civilization alive generation after generation. From Maharaja Suheldev, Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar, Maharani Lakshmibai, Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji, Guru Gobind Singh and Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya, a long tradition has continued. Revered saints dedicated their entire lives to public welfare, he added. The Chief Minister further said that heritage is not confined to any physical object but is also present in our temples, languages, literature, music, art, philosophy, mathematics, science, medicine, astronomical knowledge, and folk and knowledge traditions. He said that under the leadership of the Prime Minister, the double-engine government has added new dimensions to this, including heritage, development, faith, economy, tradition and transformation, along with modernity. By developing pilgrimage centres such as Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana, Govardhan, Nandgaon, Baldev, Vindhyachal, Chitrakoot, Shukteerth, Sambhal, Bareilly, Naimisharanya, Sarnath and Kushinagar, we are promoting the cultural and spiritual advancement of the present and future generations, he said He said that the changing Uttar Pradesh, better connectivity, strong law and order, and world-class infrastructure are evidenced by the fact that 156 crore tourists visited Uttar Pradesh last year. CM conveyed a clear message that India would realize the vision of becoming a developed and self-reliant nation only by remaining connected to its heritage. He emphasized that women, youth, farmers, entrepreneurs, artisans and craftsmen, along with every section of society, must be uplifted for this purpose. CM Yogi remarked that the rule of law is the first condition for this. The Chief Minister said that devotees, tourists and investors will come only when they have confidence in security. Mothers and daughters will step out fearlessly only when they have faith in the administration. During Sawan, 5 crore Kanwar Yatris travelled between Ghaziabad and Haridwar. The number also ran into crores on other routes, he added. CM Yogi said that riots used to continue for months in Bareilly. Rioters were invited to the Chief Ministers residence and honoured. Riots occurred in Muzaffarnagar, Aligarh, Meerut and Lucknow, but for the past nine and a half years Uttar Pradesh has remained free from curfews and riots. Today, celebration is our identity. Lakhs of devotees now visit Mathura and Vrindavan every day. Grand events such as Rangotsav, Vaishnav Kumbh, Durga Puja, Ram Navami, Deepotsav, Shobha Yatras and Mahakumbh are being organised. Earlier, there was apprehension of disturbances before celebrations; now preparations are made before celebrations. India is now organising the largest gatherings of faith with modern arrangements, he added. The Chief Minister said that over the past eight years, the Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad has completed numerous projects worth Rs 1,000 crore. Devotees are being treated with respect through improved security, cleanliness and connectivity. Vrindavan, Barsana, Nandgaon, Govardhan, Radha Kund, Gokul, Baldev, Mathura and other areas are being linked with tourism development. The 84 Kosi and Panchkosi Parikrama routes are being developed, and kunds are being restored. If protection is received from the Honble Supreme Court, the area around Shri Banke Bihari Temple will also witness grand development. Through projects such as the ropeway in Vrindavan, mega parking facilities and the Raya Urban Node in Mathura, efforts have begun to lay a strong foundation for the modern future of Braj, he added. The CM said that the Surdas Brajbhasha Academy has been established with the objective of preserving Braj culture and promoting Brajbhasha. The double-engine government is also preserving, promoting and establishing on the global stage the rich musical and literary heritage of Braj by bringing renowned artists from across the country and abroad onto a common platform. Within the urban limits of Vrindavan itself, Asias largest City Forest (Saubhari Van) is being developed over an area of 400 acres.

Some of India's greatest champions are born far from the spotlight. They emerge from villages, mountains and communities where resources may be limited, but determination knows no boundaries. Lakshya Scholar Puja Tomar; Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson & Trustee, M3M Foundation, with Lakshya Scholar Tenzin Dolma Long before medals are won and records are broken, these athletes battle circumstances, shoulder responsibilities and continue to pursue excellence with unwavering resolve. Recognising the extraordinary potential hidden within India's grassroots, M3M Foundation launched Lakshya to ensure that talent is supported, aspirations are nurtured and deserving athletes receive the opportunity to represent the nation with pride. One such champion is Tenzin Dolma, an ultra-runner from the remote Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh and a beneficiary of M3M Foundation's Lakshya Programme. Recently, Tenzin brought pride to the nation at the IAU Asian-Oceania 24 Hours Championship in Japan, where she broke both India's 12-hour and 24-hour National Records and helped the Indian Women's Team secure the Bronze Medal. For a woman who lost her parents at a young age, became a mother in her teens and supported her family through a modest tea stall, the achievement represents far more than a sporting milestone - it is a story of resilience, perseverance and hope. Tenzin's journey reflects the larger vision of Lakshya, M3M Foundation's flagship sports initiative envisioned under the leadership of Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson and Trustee, M3M Foundation, who herself is an International Kettlebell Champion. Having experienced the demands of competitive sport firsthand, Dr. Kanodia believes that talent should never be limited by geography or financial circumstances. Today, Lakshya supports more than 100 scholars across 11 states, including Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir. The programme's impact extends across 36 sporting disciplines, from Athletics and Boxing to Golf, Gymnastics, Para Sports and Kettlebell Lifting, creating opportunities for talented athletes who otherwise may never have received access to structured support. Among them is Puja Tomar, one of India's leading mixed martial artists and another Lakshya Scholar. Hailing from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, Puja overcame personal and financial hardships to pursue combat sports and went on to script history by becoming the first Indian woman to register a victory in the UFC. Her journey, much like Tenzin's, demonstrates the extraordinary potential that exists within India's grassroots communities. The achievements of Lakshya scholars are increasingly being reflected on podiums across the world. Collectively, athletes supported by the programme have secured 390 medals, including 77 international medals, reinforcing the Foundation's commitment to strengthening India's sporting ecosystem from the grassroots upwards. Speaking about the Foundation's vision, Dr. Payal Kanodia said, " As an athlete myself, I understand the sacrifices, discipline and perseverance that excellence demands. Through Lakshya, our endeavour is to ensure that deserving sportspersons receive the opportunities and support they need to realise their full potential. Athletes like Tenzin Dolma and Puja Tomar remind us that some of India's greatest champions emerge from the most challenging circumstances ." For M3M Foundation, Lakshya is not merely about supporting athletes. It is about believing in dreams before the world recognises them and ensuring that talent from every corner of India gets an opportunity to make the nation proud. About M3M Foundation M3M Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the M3M Group, working across education, health, livelihoods, sports, and environment. With a reach across 22 states and over 1,300 villages, the Foundation has positively impacted more than 5 million lives, driven by a vision of inclusive, sustainable, and transformative nation building.

On May 11, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing Rath's murder had arrested three people before widening its probe across multiple states. The cops suspected that hired sharpshooters were brought in from outside West Bengal to carry out the killing with military-style precision. A key breakthrough came after investigators traced a UPI payment made at the Nivedita Setu toll plaza on May 6.
