Obscene and defamatory speech defines DMK politics: Tamil Nadu Minister S Ramesh
Digital Desk | Tiruchi, Sep 14 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister S. Ramesh on Monday accused the opposition DMK of promoting a political culture marked by obscene, derogatory and abusive remarks. Speaking to reporters in Tiruchi, Ramesh said protests and demonstrations were fundamental democratic rights, but political leaders should not use such occasions to make personal attacks or employ offensive language. His remarks came a day after senior DMK leader A. Raja allegedly made a personal attack on Law Minister R. Nirmal Kumar during a DMK protest. Speaking obscenely, making defamatory remarks and spreading falsehoods are part of the DMKs DNA. It would be surprising if its leaders did not use such language. We will continue to oppose this political culture, Ramesh said. The minister also accused former Chief Minister M.K. Stalin of encouraging such behaviour within the party. He alleged that Opposition Leader Udhayanidhi Stalin frequently made double-meaning remarks and levelled cheap and derogatory criticism against ministers. Responding to a question about a former DMK minister allegedly referring to Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay in a disrespectful manner, Ramesh warned that the government would initiate strict legal action against those making disparaging remarks about the Chief Minister, women or members of the public. He said morality and restraint were particularly important for anyone who had held responsibility for the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department. Ramesh also rejected AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswamis allegation that crimes against women had increased sharply during the first three months of the TVK government. He argued that the present law-and-order challenges resulted from failures during the previous five years and that the new government was taking steps to correct systemic problems. Even after the rain stops, the wind does not immediately subside. Similarly, the consequences of corruption and administrative failures under the former government continue. We are correcting them and will bring about comprehensive change, he said. The minister said the government had introduced the Singappen Special Task Force and established a dedicated anti-drug wing as part of measures to strengthen womens safety and improve law and order. He also praised Vijays efforts to develop Tamil Nadu as a major sporting destination and encourage talented athletes from the State to gain international recognition.

From Varanasi to Vadnagar, BJYM plans 21-Day youth 'seva yatra' across 10 states
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Sep 14 (IANS) More than 1,000 young volunteers from across the country will take part in a 21-day Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) Seva Yatra connecting Prime Minister Narendra Modis childhood home town of Vadnagar in Gujarat with his parliamentary constituency Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, organisers said on Monday. The Varanasi to Vadnagar Seva Yatra will begin on September 17 and continue until October 7, with participants travelling simultaneously in two directions from Vadnagar to Varanasi and from Varanasi to Vadnagar. The campaign is being organised to mark and draw inspiration from 25 years of PM Modis public life and his emphasis on public service and nation-building. BJYM national president and Vadodara Lok Sabha MP Hemang Joshi said the programme would not be limited to a motorcycle journey, but would seek to involve young people in community service activities along the routes. Prime Minister Narendra Modis 25 years of public life represent an inspiring journey of service, dedication and putting the nation first for the youth of India. This Seva Yatra from Varanasi to Vadnagar is an effort to transform that philosophy of life into a resolve of the nations youth, Joshi said. Our objective is to ensure that the youth of India are not merely spectators of change, but active participants in nation-building, he added. The participants, or Seva Yatris, will come from several parts of the country, including Tamil Nadu, Assam, West Bengal, Jammu and Kashmir, Gujarat, Bihar and the Northeast. The organisers said the participation of young people from different regions, languages and cultures was intended to reinforce the spirit of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat. The Yatra will cover 20 routes named after sacred Indian rivers and pass through 10 states, 193 districts, 773 tehsils and 1,159 villages. At each halt, the participants will undertake service-oriented activities. Nearly 25 types of initiatives have been planned, including tree plantation and the creation of Seva Vatikas, cleanliness drives, Nasha Mukt Bharat and TB Mukt Bharat campaigns, water conservation and awareness programmes for a plastic-free India. The programme will also include the honouring of saints and seers and felicitations for sanitation workers. Joshi said the organisers would avoid traditional receptions for the participants and instead focus on cleanliness and community service. Under the Swachhta Se Swagat initiative, local BJYM workers will conduct cleanliness drives at each destination two days before the Seva Yatris arrive, he added. The Yatra will also establish a symbolic connection between Vadnagar and Varanasi through river water. Participants travelling from Vadnagar to Varanasi will carry sacred water from rivers in Gujarat for Jalabhishek at Kashi Vishwanath Dham. Those travelling in the opposite direction will carry sacred water from rivers in Uttar Pradesh for Jalabhishek at Shri Hatkeshwar Mahadev Temple in Vadnagar. Joshi said rivers were central to Indias civilisation, culture and faith and that using river water as a symbol of the Yatra was intended to represent cultural unity and a shared commitment to service. Nation-building is not the responsibility of the government alone. It is the responsibility of every citizen, and particularly of the youth. Inspired by PM Modi, we want every young Indian to make seva a part of their life in their respective communities and contribute to the building of a Viksit Bharat, he asserted. The Yatra will therefore seek to link Vadnagar, associated with PM Modis childhood and formative years, with Varanasi, where he has represented the constituency in the Lok Sabha and continued his public life.
