Swami Chidanand Saraswati opposes 'fatwa' against Sara Ali Khan for Kedarnath visit
Digital Desk | Haridwar, Oct 30 (IANS) Spiritual Head of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, Swami Chidanand Saraswati, on Friday, opposed the 'fatwa' issued by a Muslim cleric against Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan for offering prayers at the Kedarnath Temple in Uttarakhand, saying that such rulings should not be issued against anyone following the path of virtue. All India Muslim Jamaat National President Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi issued a fatwa against Sara Ali Khan, declaring her visit and offering of prayers at the Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand, as 'haram (forbidden)' and 'najayaz (impermissible)' under Sharia law. Addressing reporters in Haridwar, Swami Saraswati said, I believe 'fatwas' should not be issued against anyone. If a person has committed a sin, one can understand the concern. But issuing a 'fatwa' against someone who is following a path of virtue is difficult to understand. I do not know all the details, but I would say that anyone who does something good, follows a positive path, works for the welfare of society or helps others should be appreciated, not targeted with 'fatwas', he said. Meanwhile, Swami Jitendranand Saraswati, General Secretary of the Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti, added, This is a matter for Muslim clerics. They can stop women of their community (from visiting temples). We have clearly said that if Islam believes Muslim boys should participate in our Dandiya celebrations, then why only boys? Why shouldn't their entire families participate? Why shouldn't their daughters join as well? Citing the Madras High Court's ruling that Agamic Hindu temples are not tourist destinations but places of pilgrimage, the seer said, As for Sara Ali Khan...people can visit if they have faith, but they must demonstrate that faith. Notably, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has ruled that non-Hindus sporting religious markers of other faiths and not affirming reverence for the deity concerned cannot be allowed into the premises of Agamic temples, extending existing restrictions beyond the areas around the flagstaff. On Thursday, Maulana Barelvi, who issued the 'fatwa' to the Bollywood actress, defended his decision. Speaking to IANS, the cleric said, I have received information that film actress Sara Ali Khan visited Kedarnath (Temple) and performed acts of worship. If she truly did this from the heart, then the rulings of Sharia apply to her, because she is a Muslim, and for a Muslim, visiting a temple and engaging in acts of worship falls under the category of shirk (polytheism); it is 'najayaz' (impermissible) and 'haram' (forbidden). Sara Ali Khan has committed an impermissible and forbidden act; therefore, according to Sharia, she is required to perform 'Tauba' (repent), he stated. Incidentally, Sara Ali Khan is the daughter of Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan and his ex-wife Amrita Singh.

Uttarakhand: Helicopter carrying 6 people missing near Joshimath in Chamoli; aerial search launched
Chamoli , October 30 : A helicopter carrying six people, including five passengers and a pilot, went missing while en route from Badrinath to Dehradun in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district, with a search operation launched to trace the aircraft. The helicopter, reportedly operated by a company named Charlie X-Ray, lost contact near Hathi Parvat (Hathi Pahad), close to Joshimath. The district administration has deployed an aerial search team in another helicopter to locate the missing aircraft. The incident comes amid adverse weather conditions in Uttarakhand, with rainfall and snowfall reported in several parts of the state. Meanwhile, Kedarnath Dham witnessed the season's first heavy snowfall following continuous snowfall since Thursday (October 29). The surrounding hills were covered in a thick blanket of snow, while temperatures in the region dropped significantly. Dr CS Tomar, Director of the Meteorological Centre, Dehradun, said rainfall activity was expected to continue over the next few days, particularly in the hilly districts, with light to moderate showers likely at several places. Speaking to ANI, Tomar said heavy rainfall was recorded at eight to nine places across the state on October 29, particularly in Uttarkashi, Tehri and Haridwar districts. He added that similar weather conditions were expected on Friday, with higher chances of rainfall activity in the Kumaon region. Tomorrow, on the 31st, chances of light to very light rain will persist, especially in the hilly districts. Similarly, on the 1st and 2nd (of November), light to very light rain may be witnessed at isolated places, particularly in our northern hilly districts, he said. In view of the weather forecast, district administrations have been placed on alert to ensure the safety of pilgrims and commuters. On Thursday, District Magistrate Prashant Arya directed the activation of the District Emergency Operations Centre (DEOC) in alert mode to monitor weather conditions and oversee precautionary measures. Authorities are also monitoring road conditions and the Gangotri and Yamunotri shrines through live CCTV cameras. The administration has appealed to devotees and pilgrims to take precautions against the cold and follow advisories issued by the administration and police. (ANI)

Digital Desk | Chamoli, Oct 30 (IANS) A helicopter operated by a private aviation company crashed near Chai village, close to Joshimath in Uttarakhand on Friday, triggering a search and rescue operation. Six people are reported to have been on board the aircraft. The crash reportedly occurred in the Vishnuprayag area, between Badrinath and Joshimath. Rescue teams, including personnel from the district administration and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), have been deployed at the site. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami confirmed the incident and said he was personally monitoring the situation. In a post on social media platform X, the Chief Minister said, We have received the unfortunate news of a helicopter crash near Chai village, close to Joshimath. A joint rescue operation is being conducted by the district administration, disaster management department, and SDRF. He added that instructions had been issued to ensure that seriously injured passengers were immediately airlifted to advanced medical facilities for better treatment. I myself am continuously monitoring the entire incident. I pray to God for the safe return of the passengers, CM Dhami said. Medical teams have been rushed to the area, while officials are coordinating search and rescue efforts. Deputy Superintendent of Police Madan Singh Bisht said information about the incident was being gathered. Chamoli District Disaster Management Officer Nandkishore Joshi said reports had emerged of a white object burning in the forest above the JP Dam, which was suspected to be the helicopter. Other helicopters have been deployed to conduct aerial reconnaissance and assist in locating the aircraft. According to preliminary information, the helicopter, bearing registration number VT-HCX and operated by Trans Bharat Aviation, took off from Badrinath at around 1.12 p.m. on Friday. Its last reported contact was near the Army post atop Hathi Pahad, opposite Joshimath. Chamoli District Magistrate Gaurav Kumar said the administration launched a rescue operation immediately after receiving information about the incident. The district administration and the helicopter operator were working together to assess the situation. Persistent rainfall and dense cloud cover in the region have made search and rescue operations difficult. Further details about the incident, including the condition of those on board, are awaited. The incident comes after two emergency landings involving helicopters operating on Uttarakhand's Char Dham routes were reported earlier this month. One helicopter made an emergency landing in Rudraprayag due to poor weather, while another was forced to land in Tehri following a technical issue.

Building boom puts 300,000 people at risk of Himalayan disasters: study
New Delhi, Oct 29: At least 300,000 people in parts of the Himalayan region could be living in areas vulnerable to floods, landslides and other disasters amid a rapid construction boom, a new study has found, the BBC in an article reported. The peer-reviewed study, published in Scientific Reports, found that built-up land in high-risk areas of northern Nepal, south-eastern Tibet and parts of Uttarakhand increased by around 45 per cent between 2016 and 2023. Development in areas particularly threatened by glacial lake floods rose by nearly 78 per cent. The researchers warned that the actual number of people at risk could be considerably higher. The BBC report attributed the growing danger to rapid urbanisation, poorly planned tourism infrastructure and climate change, which is accelerating glacier melt and increasing the risk of devastating floods. C Scott Watson, the studys lead author and a glaciologist at the University of Leeds, warned that development decisions being taken today would shape disaster risks for decades. The report also highlighted concerns over weak enforcement of building regulations in Uttarakhand, where construction has expanded in vulnerable river valleys.
J&K faces Rs 95 lakh interest bill for delayed power payments
Srinagar, Oct 29: Jammu and Kashmir has been saddled with an interest liability of nearly Rs 95 lakh for delays in clearing electricity-related payments, an amount that has added to the financial burden of its power sector without bringing any additional electricity to consumers. The liability, disclosed in a fresh statement issued by the Northern Regional Power Committee (NRPC), is the highest among 140 utilities and entities listed across northern India and accounts for nearly 45 per cent of the region's total interest payable for the April-June quarter of 2026. The figures come as Kashmir heads into winter, when electricity demand rises and the power department faces the annual challenge of maintaining supply to households and businesses. According to a Document by NRPC, dated October 27, accessed by Rising Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir has been assessed Rs 94,95,917.56 as interest on delayed payment of deviation settlement charges. The total interest payable by all listed utilities stands at Rs 2.12 crore. Punjab has been assessed just Rs 26,021, while Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand have no interest payable against their names. Jammu and Kashmir's interest liability is more than 365 times that of Punjab. The charges arise from a mechanism through which power utilities settle differences between the electricity they were scheduled to draw from the grid and what they actually drew. Payments under this mechanism must be cleared within prescribed timelines, with delays attracting interest. For Jammu and Kashmir, the Rs 95 lakh is therefore not a payment towards purchasing electricity. It is an additional financial obligation arising because payments were delayed. While the interest liability cannot be directly linked to any particular power cut or increase in consumer tariffs, it represents an expense that could have been avoided through timely settlement of dues. The NRPC statement does not explain why Jammu and Kashmir accumulated such a large interest amount or identify the individual payments responsible for it. It also does not disclose the principal amount involved or whether the interest has since been cleared. The figures have emerged against the backdrop of continuing concerns over Jammu and Kashmir's ability to meet electricity demand during the colder months, particularly in the Valley, where dependence on electricity for heating places additional pressure on the system. The financial position of the power sector assumes added importance during this period, when arrangements for electricity procurement and grid management become crucial to maintaining supplies. The NRPC has given utilities 15 days from October 27 to point out any discrepancies in the calculations. In the absence of objections, the amounts will be treated as final. The committee has asked the concerned entities to deposit the interest into the Northern Region Deviation Pool Account maintained by the Northern Regional Load Despatch Centre. The statement covers the first quarter of 2026-27 alone, leaving open the question of whether further interest liabilities have accumulated since June.

JSCA Files Complaint With BCCI Over Scoring Error That Cost Women's U19 Team
The Jharkhand State Cricket Association: The Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) has made an official complaint to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over an alleged scoring error that cost the women's U19 team in the T20 championship pre-quarter-final against Uttarakhand. The JSCA has called for the BCCI's attention to the matter, where they were denied a run as the scorers made an error, and they went on to lose the match by one run in the end. As per Cricinfo, the scoring error took place in the final over of Jharkhand's clash against Uttarakhand in the 135-run chase in Nagpur last week. They were 127/7 at the end of the 19th over and needed another eight runs from six balls to win the game. They took three runs from the first three balls and then needed another five from the next three. Then came the turning moment when Lakshmi Kumari was run out on the fourth ball while attempting two runs with Eshika Bhagat in the middle. The report added that the batters completed a run before the dismissal, but the scorers did not record the run and instead registered only a run-out, which led Jharkhand to need five runs off the last two balls. Bowler Kanika Negi then bowled a wide on the next delivery, bringing the equation to four needed off two balls. On the next ball, No.10 Isha was run out while attempting two runs. This time the run was recorded to bring it down to three off the final ball. As Bhagat faced the final ball, No. 11 Ishika Deepak was also run out while the batters attempted for a couple of runs. The run was credited as Jharkhand lost by one run in the end. But the JSCA pointed out that the non-credited run on the fourth ball was the difference in the end. Speaking on the incident, head coach Jaskaran Singh called for a look into the matter. This was the first time Jharkhand had qualified for the knockouts of the women's Under-19, so the result is extremely disappointing, Jaskaran said, as quoted by Cricinfo. Had this been a league game, the situation may have been different. For players in particular, tournaments like these are extremely important. As Bhagat faced the final ball, No. 11 Ishika Deepak was also run out while the batters attempted for a couple of runs. The run was credited as Jharkhand lost by one run in the end. But the JSCA pointed out that the non-credited run on the fourth ball was the difference in the end. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
WPL 2027: Choosing Four Overseas Players In Playing XI Will Be Really Hard, Says Klinger
The Ashleigh Gardner: Gujarat Giants (GG) head coach Michael Klinger said picking the four overseas players in the playing eleven will be one of the toughest calls the franchise faces when the 2027 Womens Premier League (WPL) happens from January 14 to February 7. At the auction held in Kochi, GG filled their three vacant slots by signing India wicketkeeper-batter G Kamalini (for Rs 40 lakh), Irelands seam-bowling all-rounder Orla Prendergast and talented all-rounder Samaira Raghav, who was a late addition to the auction pool, for Rs 30 lakh and Rs 10 lakh, respectively. GG now have six overseas players: captain Ashleigh Gardner, Beth Mooney, Sophie Devine, Georgia Wareham, Kim Garth and Orla, who became the first Irish cricketer to be picked in the WPL. The four overseas playing spots are going to be really hard to choose with the quality we have. Last year we went with our four batters, or rounders. We have Kim Garth as well, who didnt play last year and is in career best form at the moment. So shes certainly going to be pushing to play matches as well and provides fantastic new ball and death bowling options for us. Along with Orla now, its going to be some really difficult decisions, but thats a good problem to have, Klinger told IANS in an exclusive conversation after the auction on Thursday. The Ashleigh Gardner-led side made the playoffs last season but lost to Delhi Capitals in the Eliminator. In WPL 2027, with the venues yet to be known, GG will be aiming to go one step further and clinch their first-ever title. On the rationale of signing Kamalini, who played last two WPL seasons for the Mumbai Indians, despite already having two keepers in Beth and Yastika Bhatia, Klinger stated the franchise had been prepared to pay more for her and would use her purely as a batter. With Kamalini, we thought there were going to be more bidders for her. So to get her at base price was great. We probably would have bid a little bit high if required. So I think just her versatility in the batting order gives us options both for her and our other batters and for our overseas options as well. In terms of having three keepers, were probably looking for her as a batter only. Initially with Yastika and Beth options to take the gloves, I think theyre probably the ones well go with at the start. But Kamalinis played as a batter only before and were really excited to have her, he added. In terms of Samaira, uncapped finishers are hard to come by in the WPL, and Samaira has shown that ability while turning out for Delhi in the Womens Under-19 T20 Trophy this year, where she made 162 runs at an average of 54 and a strike rate of 216, including being unbeaten four times. In that tournament, Samaira recorded strike rates of 325 against Pondicherry, 308 against Bengal, 275 against Uttarakhand, 221 against Saurashtra and 192 in the semi-final against Haryana. Samaira has a reputation of being a really good middle order batter who finishes innings off really well. Shes done that recently in the under-19 domestic tournament, and we had her at our training camp a few weeks ago in Bengaluru, where in some scenarios and practice matches, she did the same thing, added Klinger. Samaira first caught the attention of WPL scouts while turning out for North Delhi Strikers in the Womens Delhi Premier League (DPL) this year, where she hit a match-winning six when the equation read six runs needed off two balls against the East Delhi Riders at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Samaira has a reputation of being a really good middle order batter who finishes innings off really well.

Meeting of BJP General Secretaries underway in Delhi under Nitin Nabin's chairmanship
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 29 (IANS) A key meeting of the BJP's National General Secretaries began on Thursday under the chairmanship of party President Nitin Nabin at the party headquarters in New Delhi. BJP National General Secretaries, including B.L. Santhosh, Sunil Bansal, Vinod Tawde, Smriti Irani, Satish Poonia, Sanjay Bhatia and Biplab Kumar Deb, among others, are attending the meeting. The meeting is expected to discuss the Opposition's programmes, the prevailing political situation in the country and the party's organisational strategy to counter the Opposition's campaign. The BJP leadership is also expected to deliberate on preparations for the upcoming Assembly elections in five states -- Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Manipur and Goa. The focus of the meeting is on strengthening the party organisation and chalking out election strategies. The meeting assumes significance as the BJP begins preparations for the upcoming electoral battles while assessing the Opposition's political activities and the evolving political situation. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Nitin Nabin led a march through Delhi's Chandni Chowk as part of the BJP's 'Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy' campaign. The march was held amid escalating political tensions over the allegations of vote theft and alleged irregularities in the SIR exercise that have been raised by the Congress and other Opposition parties. The ruling party has sought to counter the Opposition's campaign by mobilising its own leaders and workers. As part of these efforts, Nitin Nabin personally led the march in Chandni Chowk on Wednesday, underscoring the party's focus on the issue. He took potshots at the Gandhi family, saying that the 'Congress-I', a faction of the grand old party formed by late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in January 1978, stands for Italian Congress rather than Congress-Indira, while terming the party's electoral defeats as purification by citizens.

Sara Ali Khan visits Kedarnath amid Sanatan affidavit debate
Sara Ali Khan has returned to Kedarnath for prayers amid the ongoing discussion surrounding a proposed affidavit requirement for non-Hindus visiting the shrine. The actor reportedly reached the temple by helicopter around October 25 and joined the regular queue to offer prayers, waiting for approximately 30 minutes despite snowfall and cold weather. According to reports, Sara participated in puja and aarti during her visit and did not seek special treatment. Her trip has drawn attention as it comes months after the Badri-Kedar Temple Committee (BKTC) said that non-Hindus wishing to visit Kedarnath and Badrinath could be asked to submit a written affidavit affirming their faith in Sanatan Dharma. No public confirmation exists on whether Sara submitted an affidavit before entering the temple. Her visit alone does not establish whether the proposed requirement has been implemented or what arrangements were followed in her case. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) Why is Sara Ali Khan's Kedarnath visit in focus? In March 2026, the BKTC proposed requiring non-Hindus seeking entry to Kedarnath and Badrinath to submit a written declaration affirming their faith in Sanatan Dharma. The proposal was approved by the committee and forwarded to the Uttarakhand government for consideration. Sara was specifically mentioned in the discussion because of her frequent visits to Kedarnath over the years. The actor made her Bollywood debut with Kedarnath, which was filmed in the region, and has regularly returned to the shrine since then. At the time, BKTC chairman Hemant Dwivedi addressed the question of Sara's future visits, saying, If she says that she has belief in Sanatan and submits an affidavit, we will allow her for darshan. Sara's visits to Kedarnath have been a recurring part of her public life since her debut film. She has often shared glimpses of her spiritual trips, making the shrine a familiar destination for her beyond her film commitments. This time, reports said she arrived by helicopter and waited alongside other devotees during the snowfall. She also offered prayers and participated in aarti during the visit. On the professional front, Sara was recently seen in Udta Teer, a spy comedy co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana. Directed by Aakash A Kaushik, the film was released in theatres on October 23, 2026. Earlier this year, she appeared in Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, which was released in May. Also Read:Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan visit Attari-Wagah border to promote Udta Teer

Ranji Trophy: Badoni Slams Second Successive Ton, Saranshs Seven-for Puts MP On Top
JSCA International Stadium: Batting all-rounder Ayush Badoni continued his rich vein of form by hitting a second consecutive hundred, while India off-spinner Saransh Jains seven-wicket haul gave Madhya Pradesh firm control on day one of the third-round Ranji Trophy matches on Monday. Fresh from a career-best 217 against Gujarat, Badoni struck an unbeaten 106 off 122 balls, laced with 11 fours and two sixes, to take Delhi to 309/5 against Jharkhand at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi. Badoni, 26, previously hit 205 against the same opponents in the 2024/25 season. A chanceless knock, Badonis sixth first-class hundred, anchored Delhis recovery. He found a reliable ally in all-rounder Sumit Mathur, who was unbeaten on 50, as the pair put together an unbroken 128-run stand for the sixth wicket. Mathur had a lucky escape on 36 when he was caught at long-on, only to be recalled because Anukul Roy had overstepped. At Holkar Stadium in Indore, Saranshs 7-40 helped Madhya Pradesh bowl Bihar out for just 99. The hosts, still looking for their first win of the season after two draws, then reached 261/3 with a lead of 162, after bowling out Bihar for 99. Wicketkeeper-batter Saksham Purohit was unbeaten on 113, and his opening partner Yash Dubey made 84. At the BKC Ground, Mumbai also made a strong start against Haryana at home after being put in to bat first. Angkrish Raghuvanshi made 114 off 180 balls with 13 fours and a six, while Musheer Khan scored 109 off 185 balls with 12 fours and a six. The pair added 208 runs for the second wicket to steer Mumbai to 290/3 at stumps. Defending champions Jammu and Kashmir, also in search of their first win, were frustrated by Priyanshu Moliya at the Reliance Ground in Vadodara. Moliyas patient unbeaten 113 lifted Baroda to 259/6 after they had slipped to 197/6 at one stage. Vidarbha, who have two wins so far, had Goa in trouble at 84/6 after Nachiket Bhute ripped through the top order with four wickets. But Darshan Misal and Yash Kasvankar then struck half-centuries and shared a stand of 104 runs for the seventh wicket to help the visitors reach 204/8. On a rain-hit day, Pondicherry reduced Uttar Pradesh to 67/4. In Mysuru, Karnataka recovered from a sluggish start to bowl Tripura out for 194 at the SDNR Wadiyar Stadium. The hosts, who sprang a surprise by leaving out pacers Vidwath Kaverappa and Abhilash Shetty to accommodate spinners Shikhar Shetty and Ritesh Bhatkal, failed to make use of the new ball as Tripura moved comfortably to 88/2 in the first session. Left-arm spinner Shikhar then claimed his third first-class five-wicket haul, while pacer Manvanth Kumar took three. Karnataka lost Mayank Agarwal early and were 10 for one at stumps. At the DVR Ground in Mulapadu, Chhattisgarhs spinners made full use of a helpful pitch to bowl Andhra out for 231. Veteran off-spinner Jayant Yadav led the way with 4-75, while Ajay Mandal and Dharmendrasinh Jadeja took three and two wickets respectively. In reply, Chhattisgarh lost Ayush Pandey early when he was run out going for an unnecessary quick single. Captain Anuj Tiwary and Mayank Verma then negotiated the final half-hour to take the visitors to 35/1. Wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with 81 off 126 balls, hitting nine fours and a six, while fifties from Salil Arora and Ramandeep Singh then guided Punjab to 289/6 against Hyderabad in Secunderabad. Denish Das made 90 off 165 balls, with 14 fours, to take Assam to 235/6 against Saurashtra in Rajkot. For the hosts, veteran pacer Jaydev Unadkat picked up three wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja and Arth Yadav took one wicket each. In Thiruvananthapuram, where only 50 overs were possible due to rain, Kerala reduced Bengal to 172/6, with Aditya Sarwate taking three wickets and Nedumankuzhy Basil two scalps. Maharashtra bowled out Gujarat for 233 in Pune, with Siddhesh Veer taking four wickets, while Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Vicky Ostwal claimed three apiece. Maharashtra were 24/1 when stumps were called. Services off-spinner Pulkit Narang returned 6-47, his second five-wicket haul of the season, to bowl Odisha out for 194 in Bhubaneswar. The visitors were 13/0 at stumps. Tamil Nadu bowled out Railways for 184 in Chennai, with R Sai Kishore and Sonu Yadav taking three wickets each, but slipped to 71/3 till stumps arrived.

Declining standard of language in political discourse: Shiv Sena-UBT, RJD on Kharge's 'baap' remarks
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 26 (IANS) Shiv Sena-UBT and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders on Monday criticised the remarks made by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge during a programme in Patna, even as they questioned the standards of political discourse and called for greater restraint in the language used by political leaders. The controversy erupted following Kharge's address at a Congress event in Patna on Sunday, organised to mark the birth anniversary of Bihar's first Chief Minister, Sri Krishna Singh. During the programme, a person in the audience reportedly interrupted Kharge, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would not leave power. Responding to the interruption, Kharge said, Modi ka baap bhi jayega (Even Modi's father will have to go). The Congress President reportedly repeated the remark several times, triggering a political controversy and drawing criticism over the language used while referring to the Prime Minister. Reacting to the controversy, Shiv Sena-UBT leader Priyanka Chaturvedi said the continuously declining standard of language in political discourse was unfortunate. Speaking to IANS, Chaturvedi said: The continuously declining standard of language used by everyone in politics is unfortunate. But at the same time, what are the pressing issues in the country today? The country's issues are inflation, corruption, vote theft, and many challenges faced by the youth that are being ignored. This is once again an issue meant to distract attention. She expressed hope that political parties would exercise restraint while making statements and expressing their views, stressing that family members who had no role in politics should not be dragged into political disputes. I would repeat that dragging mothers, fathers, sisters, daughters, or children, who have nothing to do with politics, into political matters is completely wrong, she said. Meanwhile, RJD MP Manoj Jha also criticised the use of such language but questioned what he described as selective outrage over controversial remarks made by political leaders. Speaking to IANS, Jha said: No one can support this kind of language. I am observing the outrage, but why is this outrage so selective? When remarks such as 'Congress ki vidhwa', 'Jersey cow', references to the 'mangalsutra', 'they will take away your buffaloes', and 'they will perform mujra' are made, should there not be outrage or anger then? Jha said he had already submitted a written request in Parliament for a discussion on the standards of language used by both the ruling party and the Opposition. I am saying it again today through you: there should be a two-day discussion in Parliament on what the dignity and standards of language used by both the ruling party and the Opposition should be. It cannot be that there is outrage today and silence tomorrow. That does not seem right, he said. Referring to what he described as a pretence of purification staged against Kharge himself in Uttarakhand's Haldwani, he said he had not witnessed similar outrage on that occasion. When a pretence of purification was staged against Kharge himself, I did not see this outrage. This is not appropriate, the RJD MP said.
