Grand Dussehra Shobha Yatra draws crowds in Jammu

Jammu, Oct 20: Jammu witnessed grand Dussehra celebrations as the Sanatan Dharam Natak Samaj organised a Shobha Yatra under the leadership of its chairman and Jammu East MLA Yudhvir Sethi, drawing large crowds and showcasing the regions cultural and spiritual traditions. The celebrations marked the victory of good over evil, featuring a colourful procession with decorated chariots and tableaux depicting Lord Rama, Lakshman and Hanuman, followed by the traditional burning of the effigies of Ravana, Kumbhkarna and Meghnad at Parade Ground. The Shobha Yatra began at Deewan Mandir after traditional prayers performed by Sethi. It passed through Moti Bazar, Sabzi Mandi, Rajtilak Road, Purani Mandi, Old Hospital Road, City Chowk, Shalamar Road and Raghunath Bazar. Devotees also offered prayers at the historic Raghunath Temple before the procession moved towards Parade Ground amid chants of Jai Shri Ram. Local artists who had participated in the nine-day Ramleela at Deewan Mandir joined the procession, bringing scenes from the Ramayana to life. The main attraction was the burning of the three effigies at Parade Ground, where thousands gathered to witness the spectacle. Artists portraying Lord Rama and Lakshman ignited the effigies, which went up in flames amid cheers from the crowd. According to the organisers, the effigies were prepared by artists from Uttar Pradesh over nearly a month. Elaborate security and traffic arrangements were put in place to facilitate the celebrations. Speaking on the occasion, Sethi said Dussehra conveyed the enduring message that truth and righteousness ultimately prevail. He said the large public participation reflected the people's devotion and the importance of preserving cultural traditions. He also highlighted the values of harmony, compassion and unity associated with Sanatan Dharma, calling for these principles to be passed on to younger generations. Sethi appreciated the Sanatan Dharam Natak Samaj for organising the event and providing a platform for local artists to showcase their talent. He also extended Vijayadashami greetings to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, urging them to uphold righteousness and social harmony. Sanatan Dharam Natak Samaj president Anil Masoom, general secretary Bharat Bhushan and other members of the organisation were present. Masoom highlighted the festival's cultural significance and its role in bringing people together while familiarising younger generations with the Ramayana. The celebrations concluded with the symbolic burning of the three effigies, reaffirming Dussehra's traditional message of the triumph of good over evil.

Er. Gulam Ali Khatana slams OIC over Kashmir remarks

Srinagar, Oct 20: BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Er. Gulam Ali Khatana on Tuesday strongly condemned the resolutions adopted at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers meeting in Baghdad on October 1718, describing the remarks against India as politically motivated and an interference in the countrys internal affairs. Khatana accused Pakistan of using the OIC platform to advance its political agenda and malign India, questioning the organisations position on issues concerning Jammu and Kashmir. He asserted that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were integral parts of India and said no international resolution or external intervention could alter the countrys position on its territorial integrity. Highlighting developments in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370, Khatana said the region had witnessed a renewed focus on infrastructure, connectivity, tourism, investment and development under Prime Minister Narendra Modis leadership. He said the people of Jammu and Kashmir deserved peace, progress and economic opportunities, rather than being drawn into what he described as Pakistans geopolitical agenda. Khatana also criticised Pakistan over its human rights record in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), citing allegations of repression and the use of force against protesters. He said Pakistan should address concerns within areas under its control instead of raising allegations against India at international forums. He maintained that the outstanding issues concerning Jammu and Kashmir included Pakistan vacating territories under its occupation and ending support for cross-border terrorism. Reacting to the OICs remarks, including allegations concerning Islamophobia, Khatana said India had a long tradition of pluralism, coexistence and respect for different faiths. He contrasted this with allegations of minority persecution and sectarian violence in Pakistan. Khatana urged the OIC to adopt a balanced approach and avoid becoming a platform for what he described as Pakistan-sponsored anti-India narratives. He said the organisation should respect the sovereignty of states and focus on dialogue, peace and international cooperation. Reaffirming Indias position, Khatana said the country would not accept interference in its internal affairs and would continue to uphold its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

India economy growing at 7.2% despite West Asia conflict, says Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in Tajikistan

Dushanbe [Tajikistan], October 20 : Even as the West Asia conflict continues to impact the global economy, India continues to grow at 7.2 per cent, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Tuesday as he attended a cultural event organised by the Indian Diaspora in Tajikistan. Addressing the community during his second visit to the Central Asian nation since 2021, Singh said India remains among the world's fastest-growing economies despite adverse circumstances. There was a time when the world claimed that India's economy was a lost cause, he said, adding that the strength and determination of the Indian people had made the difference. Singh said India contributes 16 per cent to the global economy while accounting for 18 per cent of its population. He said India's standing in the international community has grown under the present NDA government. Contrasting the present with the past, he said the people called it an era of policy paralysis, but it had been transformed through reforms under the current government. Since our government took office, Indias standing within the international community has grown. Today, when India speaks on the global stage, the world listens with seriousness. Indias economy has seen rapid improvement; it is now among the fastest-growing economies in the world. We contribute 16 per cent to the global economy, while our population accounts for 18 per cent. Despite the challenges arising from conflicts in West Asia, our economy continues to grow at a rate of 7.2 per cent, even in such adverse circumstances, he said. Singh said India has signed Free Trade Agreements with about 38 countries, keeping in view uncertainties in global trade over the last few years. He further said that Defence production stands at Rs 1.8 lakh crore, and India is now manufacturing submarines. A semiconductor ecosystem is taking shape, with the country set to build both ships and chips. He said India now has more than 2,50,000 startups, over 45 per cent of which have a female director or partner. India has also lifted 250 million people out of poverty over the last decade, he said. He also hailed the success of UPI in India, stating that in August alone, it saw 23.66 billion transactions worth Rs 29.88 lakh crore, ten years after its inception. He also said that 1213 years ago, Indias Current Account Deficit was over 4 per cent of its GDP. Last year, it declined to about half a per cent, specifically, 0.61%. Now our country has signed FTAs with about 38 countries, which is a unique milestone in India's trade history. These FTAs have opened up the markets of large economies for India's manufactured products. Currently, our defense production stands at 1.8 lakh crore rupees, and we are now manufacturing submarines. A semiconductor ecosystem is taking shape in India. The country is set to build both ships and chips. India has become a global hub for real-time digital transactions. In the month of August alone, there were 23.66 billion UPI transactions, amounting to 29.88 lakh crore rupees. It has been ten years since the inception of UPI, and it has shattered all previous records, he said. Highlighting the growth in the last decade, he said, In the past, there was talk of policy paralysis, but today, reforms are taking place everywhere. Our foreign exchange reserves have now surpassed $7 billion. We are reforming with a clear policy direction. I do not need to go into great detail regarding the changes we have introduced in the GST. However, I would only like to say that whatever reforms are taking place, all these reforms are not out of compulsion; this is our conviction. Singh said that until 12 to 13 years ago, access to mobile phones and the internet was considered a position of great power, and after 2014, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government focused on making mobile data affordable. Until 12 to 13 years ago in India, there was also a time when access to mobile phones and the internet was in itself considered a position of great power. It was thought that simply having access to mobile and internet was a massive achievement. Whoever had access possessed information, possessed knowledge, and along with that, also had opportunities. After 2014, when the NDA government was formed in India under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and we were given the opportunity to serve, India placed a special focus on making mobile data affordable. This means that in India, connectivity didn't just connect people, it also worked to connect opportunities. This miracle has taken place in India, he said. Singh urged Indians in Tajikistan, whether students or workers, to act with the utmost care so that India's credibility is never questioned. A gap between one's words and actions leads to a crisis of credibility, he said, while noting there had been no complaints against any Indian. He described the diaspora as India's cultural ambassadors and an extension of our family. Singh, who said he has addressed the diaspora in 3035 countries, called the cultural program unlike any I have seen. (ANI)
