Congress slams BJP's 'feudal mindset' over rising crimes against minorities

NEW DELHI: Stepping up attacks on the BJP government over the alleged rise in attacks on SC/STs, Adivasis, backward classes and minorities, the Congress on Friday asserted that it is a dangerous manifestation of the RSSBJPs feudal mindset. In a post on X, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge pointed out that between 2013 and 2023, there has been a 46% increase in crimes against SC/STs, according to the NCRB report. The crimes against Adivasis have increased by 91 percent, he said. Kharge further cited recent incidents of caste-based discrimination and violence, including, the lynching of SC/ST man Hariom Valmiki in Rae Bareli district of Uttar Pradesh, the attack on Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and the recent suicide of an SC/ST IPS officer from Haryana. Caste discrimination against an IPS officer in Haryana, the harassment of Hariom Valmiki, the attack on the CJI and the BJP mindset justifying it, and the atrocities against elderly SC/ST woman Kamla Devi Raigar in Sawai Madhopur district of BJP-ruled Rajasthan. All these recent incidents are not just isolated events, but a dangerous manifestation of the RSSBJPs feudal mindset, he wrote. Kharge said that the chain of events is a direct assault on the fundamental principles of Indias Constitution, social justice, and equality. This politics of intimidating and suppressing SC/STs, backward classes, Adivasis, and marginalised communities poses a serious threat to democracy, he said. Taking aim at the Modi government, he said that SC/STs, Adivasis, backward classes, minorities, and weaker sections are bearing the brunt of it And you are keeping your eyes shut to these issues while remaining engrossed in your own spectacles, he added. India will be governed by the Constitution, not by the decrees of any extremist ideology, he warned the government. Earlier on Thursday, Kharge alleged that the suicide of a SC/ST IPS officer in Haryana was a horrific testament to the social injustice, inhumanity, and insensitivity under the ruling BJPs Manuwadi system.

Uttarakhand tops Himalayan states in illegal arms cases: NCRB report

DEHRADUN: The serene image of Uttarakhand is sharply contrasted by alarming crime statistics, with the state leading Himalayan regions in cases related to illegal arms possession. A recent report from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) for the year 2023 has brought this unsettling reality to the forefront. According to the NCRB data, a staggering 1,767 cases were registered against individuals in Uttarakhand for possessing arms in 2023. Of these seizures, 1,184 weapons were found to be illegal, while only four legal firearms were recovered in these specific registered instances. This places Uttarakhand seventh nationally in the overall count of arms possession cases. It seems that possessing firearms, both legal and illegal, is increasingly being treated as a hobby by some residents of this Himalayan state, noted a senior police official familiar with the report's findings. The trend is further complicated by the open display of weaponry. In districts like Udham Singh Nagar and Haridwar, instances of firing weapons over trivial disputes are surfacing, sometimes even being circulated on social media. Police efforts, however, are noted; in 2023 alone, authorities filed charges against 1,767 individuals under the Arms Act. Crucially, the report indicates that illegal firearms are heavily implicated in serious crimes. The majority of recovered illegal weapons were linked to violent offenses, including murders and attempts to cause grievous hurt, the report states. Beyond arms possession, the state has also seen a rise in violent crimes. Registered incidents of homicide, robbery, and kidnapping rose from 3,162 in 2021 to 3,923 in 2022, settling slightly lower at 3,570 in 2023. A significant concern remains the judicial backlog, with police filing chargesheets in only 58 percent of the 2023 cases, leaving many pending investigation closure. Udham Singh Nagar, particularly sensitive regarding crime, is reportedly a hub for this illicit trade, with police and STF units frequently busting illegal arms manufacturing units in nearby Terai forests, often sourcing supplies from neighbouring Uttar Pradesh areas. Responding to the findings, Uttarakhand Police Spokesperson Dr. Nilesh Anand Bharane affirmed a strict stance. Police action against illegal arms holders is ongoing. Miscreancy will not be tolerated in the state. Whoever the criminal, their rightful place will always be behind bars. State | Cases under Arms Act | Seized illegal firearms Himachal Pradesh | 24 | 04 Uttarakhand | 1764 | 1184 West Bengal | 1349 | 1337 Arunachal Pradesh | 15 | 10 Nagaland | 74 | 73 Manipur | 89 | 81 Mizoram | 29 | 25 Tripura | 06 | 05 Meghalaya | 09 | 06

Kharge slams RSS-BJP over rise in crimes against Dalits, Adivasis; says its a threat to Constitution

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday came down heavily on the BJP and its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), accusing them of fostering a feudal mindset and turning a blind eye to rising caste-based violence in the country. Referring to NCRB data from 2013 to 2023, Kharge stated that crimes against Dalits have increased by 46%, while crimes against Adivasis have surged by 91% during the same period. In a post on X, he accused the BJP of enabling and justifying a feudal and casteist mindset that manifests in violent and discriminatory actions against marginalized communities. . @narendramodi , NCRB , 2013 2023 46% 91% IPS , , CJI pic.twitter.com/3XKm8dCQCe Mallikarjun Kharge (@kharge) October 10, 2025 Kharge listed recent incidents of caste-based discrimination and violence, including, the lynching of Dalit man Hariom Valmiki in Rae Bareli district of Uttar Pradesh, the attack on Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and the recent suicide of a Dalit IPS officer from Haryana. These are not isolated events, Kharge wrote. They are a dangerous manifestation of the RSSBJPs feudal mindset and a direct assault on the Constitution, social justice, and the principles of equality. He accused the ruling party of indulging in a politics of intimidation aimed at suppressing Dalits, Adivasis, backward classes, minorities, and other marginalized groups. According to Kharge, such politics poses a serious threat to Indias democratic fabric. India will be governed by the Constitution, not by the decrees of any extremist ideology, Kharge said. The Congress President also took a veiled swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that while the most vulnerable sections of society suffer daily indignities and violence, you are keeping your eyes shut to these issues while remaining engrossed in your own spectacles. Earlier on Thursday, Kharge alleged that the suicide of a Dalit IPS officer in Haryana was a horrific testament to the social injustice , inhumanity, and insensitivity under the ruling BJP's Manuwadi system. The BJP's 'Manuwadi' system has become a curse for the SC, ST, OBC, and weaker sections of this country. The news of the forced suicide of Haryana's senior Dalit IPS officer, ADGP Y Puran Kumar, is not only shocking but also a horrific testament to social injustice, inhumanity, and insensitivity. My deepest condolences to the family, Kharge said in a post on X.

Delhi Announce Badoni-led 24-member Ranji Trophy Squad, Nitish Rana Included

DDCA Secretary Ashok Sharma: The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Friday has announced a 24-member squad for the upcoming Ranji Trophy season, with Ayush Badoni appointed captain and Yash Dhull named vice-captain. Delhi will begin their 2025/26 campaign with an away fixture against Hyderabad on October 15, before returning to host Himachal Pradesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on October 25. Badoni is back to being Delhis skipper after having a stint with India A team during the red-ball games against Australia A in Lucknow. The selection meeting was attended by Yashpal Singh, KP Bhaskar, Manu Nayyar, chief coach Sarandeep Singh, CAC member Surinder Khanna, DDCA Secretary Ashok Sharma, and Joint Secretary Amit Grover. Other notable names in the squad include Priyansh Arya, Anuj Rawat, Navdeep Saini, Simarjeet Singh and Hrithik Shokeen. The squad also features senior left-handed batter Nitish Rana, who is back in the set-up after representing Uttar Pradesh as a professional player. His selection is an intriguing one as Rana never got going with the red-ball for Uttar Pradesh in last two domestic seasons and has runs only on the back of this years Delhi Premier League (DPL). There is no mention of India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant in Delhis squad, but theres an expectation that he will be ready to play once gaining full fitness after completing his rehab at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, where hes been based from since mid-September. Pant has been recovering from a fractured right foot sustained during the fourth Test against England at Manchester in July and the long recovery from it has meant that hes missed out on the ongoing Tests against the West Indies and upcoming white-ball tour of Australia. IANS had previously reported that Pant could be back in action for Delhis home game against Himachal Pradesh. This agency also understands that Pant could even be handed captaincy if hes included in Delhis squad for the premier red-ball competition after getting fitness clearance.

Taliban foreign minister arrives in India; to visit Taj Mahal and Deoband seminary

NEW DELHI: Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, who arrived in India on Thursday for a multi-day visit, is expected to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra and the Darul Uloom Deoband seminary in Uttar Pradesh the spiritual birthplace of the Deobandi school of thought that shaped the Talibans ideology. The visit comes against the backdrop of growing unease in AfghanistanPakistan relations. After Pakistani airstrikes killed 46 people in Afghanistan in December 2024, the Taliban openly criticized Islamabad and began seeking greater engagement with regional powers. While India has not officially recognized the Taliban regime, it has maintained a technical mission in Kabul, focusing on humanitarian assistance such as food aid, essential medicines, and earthquake relief. Upon arrival in New Delhi, Muttaqi was received by Anand Prakash, Joint Secretary of the Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran (PAI) Division at the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), in line with diplomatic protocol. Warm welcome to Afghan Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi on his arrival in New Delhi. We look forward to engaging in discussions with him on bilateral relations and regional issues, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Thursday. Following his engagements in Delhi on Friday, including a meeting with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar at Hyderabad House, Muttaqi is expected to travel to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal, and then to Deoband over the weekend to visit the Darul Uloom seminary a deeply symbolic location for the Taliban movement. His trip is set to conclude on October 15, a day before his United Nations Security Council travel waiver expires. Muttaqis India visit the first by a senior Taliban leader since the regimes return to power in 2021 signals a tentative but potentially transformative shift in the Talibans foreign policy: one that looks beyond Islamabad toward a more multipolar regional engagement.

Six escape unhurt after private aircraft skids off runway in UP's Farrukhabad

LUCKNOW: A major accident was narrowly avoided on Thursday morning when a private aircraft, registered as VT-DEZ, skidded off the runway at Mohammadabad airstrip in Uttar Pradeshs Farrukhabad and stopped just short of the boundary wall. All six people on board, including four passengers and two pilots, had a narrow escape. The incident happened around 11.15 am when the aircraft, operated by Jetserve Aviation began its take-off roll. However, after covering about 400 metres on the runway, the plane veered off course and lost alignment, finally stopping just short of the perimeter wall. According to officials, the aircraft was a twin-engine charter plane with a 2+6 seating configuration and was scheduled to take off for Bhopal. Pilots Nasib Baman and Prateek Fernandes were at the controls at the time of the incident. The passengers onboard included Ajay Arora, Deputy Managing Director of Woodpecker Green Agri Nutripad Pvt Ltd, who had arrived with a team to assess the upcoming beer manufacturing unit in the Khimsepur industrial area. Sumit Sharma, from SBI, Rakesh Tikku, vice president (operations), and Manish Pandey, UP project head were also on board. Police and administrative officials, including SDM Sadar Rajnikant Pandey, CO Ajay Verma, and Mohammadabad police, rushed to the site soon after the incident. A fire brigade was also dispatched as a precautionary measure. Mohammadabad Kotwali SHO Vinod Shukla said preliminary findings suggest that low air pressure in one of the aircrafts wheels may have caused it to veer off the runway. He confirmed that all passengers were safe and later left the site by car. It was later confirmed that the group had arrived in Farrukhabad, on Wednesday, and was scheduled to return on Thursday morning when the incident occurred. A video seen on social media showed the aircraft lying on the ground with its wings and propeller clearly visible. The aircraft is considered to have sustained only minor damage, though its front section was visibly tilted towards the ground.

Akhilesh remarks came after Mayawati took a dig at him, calling the Samajwadi Party 'two-faced' party.
