HM Amit Shah accuses Rahul Gandhi of defaming India at international summit

Digital Desk | Pune, Nov 15 (IANS) Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Sunday condemned the Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi for making anti-India statements at an international conference, accusing him of trying to malign the country's image out of frustration over repeated electoral defeats. Union Minister Shah was speaking at the hoomi pujan ceremony of the NHEC Multi-State Cooperative Society and the launch of Bharat Taxi in Pune. Referring to the 'Bharat Summit 2026' held in Hyderabad, the Union Home Minister said the Congress had invited Left-wing propagandists from across the world and that Rahul Gandhi had used the platform, despite its name, to express anti-India views and tarnish India's reputation before the global community. Rahul Gandhi is venting his frustration over continuous electoral defeats by making 'anti-India' statements at international conferences, he added. He asserted that winning elections requires working at the grassroots in villages rather than undertaking foreign tours and defaming the nation's development journey abroad. The Home Minister drew a sharp contrast between the previous UPA government and the present NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. He recalled that the people had given the Congress ten years in power, during which scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore took place. In contrast, Union Minister Shah said, not even the slightest allegation of corruption had been levelled against PM Modi in the past 12 years. He listed several achievements of the Narendra Modi government, including progress in agriculture and industry, India's landing near the Moon's South Pole, the growth of the start-up ecosystem, revival of the Railways, expansion of airports from 76 to 150, creation of the world's largest Metro network, the National Education Policy and the establishment of the Ministry of Cooperation. Home Minister Shah warned Congress workers that if they continued to follow Rahul Gandhi in his efforts to defame India's development story on global platforms, the party would remain out of power for another 30 years. He asked whether any political party, in power or in Opposition, could use an international summit to malign India and its Prime Minister, saying this was the question the entire country was asking. He urged Rahul Gandhi to come down to the villages and connect with people at the grassroots, but remarked that the Congress leader was likely to embark on another foreign tour instead. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Minister of State for Cooperation and Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol, Rajya Sabha MP Sunetra Pawar, and other senior leaders were present on the occasion. Home Minister Shah appealed to the people to give a befitting reply to such attempts in the upcoming elections.

From Kashmir to Pune, young warriors chase Taekwondo gold

Srinagar, Nov 14: From five-year-old beginners to young athletes with years of training behind them, a contingent of Jammu and Kashmir Taekwondo players has embarked on a journey to Pune with one common dreambringing home gold medals. The contingent was flagged off from the historic Balidaan Stambh at Lal Chowk on Saturday to participate in the International World Ranking G1 Taekwondo Championship 2026 in Pune. The ceremony witnessed participation of senior police and administrative officials, including DIG Traffic Kashmir Haseeb-ur-Rehman and SSP Traffic Srinagar Bisma Qazi. Sports enthusiasts, supporters and well-wishers also gathered to encourage the young athletes before their departure. Speaking to Rising Kashmir, DIG Traffic said that it was indeed a proud moment that a young team including five-year-old talented kids are leaving for Pune to take part in the International Taekwondo Championship. We are hopeful these children will bring laurels for J&K and the country, he said. Coach Mansha Bashir expressed confidence in the team's preparations, saying the athletes had undergone rigorous training and were determined to make J&K proud. We are hopeful that Kashmir will bring gold this time. The players have worked extremely hard and undergone rigorous training for this championship. They are well-prepared and highly motivated to give their best, she said. Highlighting the age diversity of the contingent, Mansha said some of the participants were as young as five, seven, eight and 12 years, reflecting the growing interest in Taekwondo among children in Kashmir. It is encouraging to see such young children taking up the sport with dedication. Despite their young age, they have shown tremendous discipline, enthusiasm and commitment during training. We want them to compete fearlessly, gain international exposure and make the country and Jammu and Kashmir proud, she said. The coach said the championship would provide the young players with an important platform to test their skills, gain experience and compete against athletes from different backgrounds. The dignitaries present at the flag-off ceremony appreciated the players for their discipline and dedication, urging them to uphold the spirit of sportsmanship and bring laurels to the Union Territory. The team's travel has been sponsored by Applied Information, Inc., through its Glance Smart City Supervisory System, a cloud-based platform designed to manage and monitor intelligent transportation systems and traffic operations. The support reflects the importance of corporate partnerships in promoting sporting talent and helping young athletes access competitive platforms. For the youngest members of the contingent, the Pune championship represents an important milestone in their sporting journey. For their coach and supporters, the expectations are even higher. As the team heads to Pune, Kashmir will be hoping that the hard work, discipline and determination of its young Taekwondo warriors translate into a golden performance.

Haryana rights panel seeks time-bound safety audit of all schools after Panchkula girl assault case

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Nov 14 (IANS) Taking serious cognisance of the alleged assault on a six-year-old girl by a schoolmate at Government Model Sanskriti Senior Secondary School in Sector 20, Panchkula, the Haryana Human Rights Commission has called for a comprehensive review of child-safety arrangements in schools across the state. The Commission has urged the State Government to consider conducting a time-bound safety audit of all schools in Haryana and prepare a concrete action plan to prevent the recurrence of such incidents. Following the incident, Commission Chairperson Justice Lalit Batra, accompanied by Assistant Registrar Puneet Arora, visited the school on October 31 to inspect the existing safety arrangements and mechanisms for supervising children. During the visit, various aspects of school safety and student supervision were examined. After the inspection, Justice Lalit Batra told the media that the Commission would conduct a detailed examination of the circumstances surrounding the incident, including possible shortcomings in the school's safety and monitoring arrangements, and recommend necessary improvements. In an order dated November 13, 2026, passed in Suo Motu Case No. 3555/7/14/2026, the Commission observed that ensuring the safety of every child within school premises is a fundamental responsibility of the concerned educational institution and the administration. It noted that the alleged assault on the six-year-old girl was not merely a case of negligence at an individual school but also raised several serious concerns regarding the supervision of children, availability of teachers, classroom arrangements, monitoring of CCTV cameras and emergency response mechanisms. The incident occurred on October 28, following which the girl sustained multiple serious injuries. After being referred from Civil Hospital, Sector-6, Panchkula, she was shifted to PGIMER, Chandigarh, for further treatment. On November 1, her condition had stabilised, and she was out of danger. The Full Commission, comprising Chairperson Justice Lalit Batra, Member Kuldip Jain and Member Deep Bhatia, has stressed the need to examine the number of teachers and staff members deployed to supervise students when the incident occurred. It has also sought clarity on whether children belonging to different age groups and classes were being taught together, how CCTV cameras were being monitored and why timely assistance could not be extended to the injured child. The Commission observed that taking action against individual employees alone would not be sufficient to address the matter. It emphasised that identifying the systemic shortcomings and administrative deficiencies that may have contributed to the incident was equally important to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Referring to the Haryana School Safety Regulations, 2017, and the Ministry of Education's Guidelines on School Safety and Security, 2021, the Commission underlined the importance of establishing effective School Safety Committees, maintaining child protection documents, supervising students' movement, ensuring emergency communication arrangements and preparing comprehensive crisis management plans. It also highlighted the need for adequate supervision of children's activities inside classrooms and throughout school premises, along with proper CCTV coverage at sensitive locations and regular monitoring of camera feeds to ensure that any untoward incident is detected and addressed promptly. The Commission further clarified that compliance with the prescribed pupil-teacher ratio (PTR) of 30:1 under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, should not be interpreted to mean that a teacher can leave 30 children without supervision. Similarly, the prescribed ratio does not automatically permit schools to combine another group of 30 students belonging to different classes in a single classroom. It stressed that schools must ensure adequate staff availability and appropriate classroom arrangements according to the age and educational requirements of students. The Commission has made it clear that the purpose of these recommendations is not restricted to strengthening surveillance and monitoring within school premises, but to establish a secure and supportive educational environment that facilitates the emotional, social and psychological development of children. Among the key recommendations, the Commission has stressed the need to organise regular awareness programmes for parents focusing on positive parenting, children's emotional development, non-violent disciplinary practices and the importance of understanding behavioural changes in children. On CCTV surveillance, the Commission has called for strict enforcement of the provisions contained in the Haryana School Safety Regulations, 2017. It has recommended installing adequate cameras at crucial locations, including corridors, staircases and classroom entrances, to ensure effective monitoring of school premises. The Commission observed that simply installing CCTV cameras would not serve the intended purpose unless their functioning was regularly checked and monitored. It has also recommended the implementation of a uniform and comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) across all schools. The SOP should clearly define arrangements for classroom supervision, movement of students, deployment and duty allocation of teachers, prevention and reporting of bullying, emergency medical assistance, communication with parents, preservation of CCTV footage and reporting of serious incidents. Considering the seriousness of the matter, the Haryana Human Rights Commission has also sought detailed reports from five senior authorities, namely the Principal Secretary of the School Education Department, Haryana; Commissioner of Police, Panchkula; Deputy Commissioner, Panchkula; Director, PGIMER, Chandigarh; and Director General of Health Services, Haryana, along with the Civil Surgeon, Panchkula. The Commission has also made it clear that the identity and personal particulars of both children involved in the matter must remain strictly confidential in all reports, official records and subsequent proceedings, in accordance with applicable child protection and juvenile justice laws. The Commission has scheduled the next hearing in the matter for January 28, 2027.
