Anti-CAA-Protest at Jamia

Priyanka Chopra joined Bollywood celebrities including Anurag Kashyap, Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar to extend solidarity to the student community protesting against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act.

Priyanka Chopra tweeted on Thursday to issue a note showing her support to the students. In her note she wrote, “Education for every child is our dream. Education is what empowered them to think independently. We have raised them to have a voice. In a thriving democracy, to raise one’s voice peacefully and be met with violence is wrong. Every voice counts. And each voice will work towards changing India. #HaveVoiceWillRaise #HaveVoiceMustRaise (sic).

Actor Hrithik Roshan also addressed the on-going atrocities against the student community in India.

He wrote, “As a parent and a citizen of india, I am deeply saddened by the unrest across various educational institutions of our country. I hope and pray for peace to return as soon as possible. Great teachers learn from their students. I salute the worlds youngest democracy.”

On December 15, 2019, Delhi Police entered the premises of Jamia Milia Islamia University in New Delhi and disrupted a peaceful protest. This led to further confrontation between the residents and the policemen in the area.

Massive protest marches have been organised across the country to stand in solidarity with the students of Jamia.

Director turned Actor Farhan Akhtar also showed concerns regarding the recent acts of  violence, urging people to gather at the Azad Maidan for Anti-CAA protest. He wrote, “Here’s what you need to know about why these protests are important. See you on the 19th at August Kranti Maidan, Mumbai. The time to protest on social media alone is over.”

Responding to Akhtar’s tweet, IPS officer Sandeep Mittal tweeted to Akhtar stating that he had broken the law by posting that tweet. In addition to that, Mittal also shared a video which explained what Section 121 of the Indian Penal Code was about.

Massive protests have erupted across India against the Citizenship Act which permits Non-Muslims from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan to attain citizenship in India. Section 144 of the CrPC has been imposed in parts of New Delhi, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday wrote to Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah regarding JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna sex scandal. In his letter, Gandhi condemned the actions of Revanna and requested the Karnataka Chief Minister to extend all possible support to the sexually harassed women.

Gandhi requested Siddaramaiah to kindly extend all possible support to the victims. He wrote that everyone has a collective duty to ensure that all parties responsible for these heinous crimes are brought to book. The Wayanad MP further added that many who looked up to him as a brother and son have been brutalised in the most violent manner and they have been robbed of their dignity. He said the rape of our mothers and sisters warrants the strictest possible punishment.

Rahul Gandhi was shocked to know that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had been campaigning for the Hassan MP inspite of the fact the gruesome allegations had been brought to the notice of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in December 2023.

The Congress leader mentioned in his letter that he is deeply shocked to learn that as far back as December 2023, India’s Home Minister Amit Shah had been informed by G Devaraje Gowda about Prajwal Revanna’s antecedants and his history of sexual violence and the presence of sex videos filmed by him.

Gandhi wrote in his letter to Siddaramaiah that what is even more shocking is that despite these gruesome allegations being brought to the notice of the senior-most BJP leadership, the Prime Minister campaigned and canvassed for a mass rapist.

 The Wayanad MP took a veiled attack on PM Modi and said he has never come across a senior public representative who has constantly chosen silence in the face of untold violence against women. Gandhi further pointed out that from the female wrestlers in Haryana to sisters in Manipur, Indian women are bearing the brunt of the Prime Minister’s tacit support for such criminals.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday made a scathing attack on the Congress over national security and said the grand old party is a coward as its government used to weep on global platforms after terrorist attacks. The prime minister was addressing a rally in Jharkhand’s Palamu where he said the situation has changed under the BJP rule and Pakistan is now weeping and screaming for help.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a massive gathering in Palamu, Jharkhand, where he highlighted the achievements of his government and warned against the dangers posed by the Congress and its allies. Speaking to the enthusiastic crowd, PM Modi emphasized the significance of each vote and the transformative impact it can have on the nation.

He took a veiled dig at Rahul Gandhi and said Pakistani leaders, shaken by surgical strikes, are praying for shahzada to become the next Prime Minister. But a strong India wants a strong government. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s attack on Rahul Gandhi comes days after a former minister in Imran Khan’s Cabinet in Pakistan, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, shared a video which featured the Congress leader on his social media handle and praised him for attacking the BJP.

PM Modi trained his guns on the ruling alliance in Jharkhand and said corrupt JMM and Congress leaders have amassed huge wealth for their children. He further added that he did not own a home or even a bicycle. There is no blot of corruption on him in the past 25 years as chief minister and prime minister. Earlier while speaking in Sabarkantha, PM Modi said the BJP government has been consistently taking strong action against terrorism across the Pakistan border in comparison to weak governments in the past.

The Prime Minister said terrorists used to come to India and carry out attacks. The weak government during that time used to send dossiers. He further added that today’s new India does not send dossiers, it gives dose to terrorists.

PM Modi takes a dig at Rahul Gandhi after Congress picks him for Raebareli, says daro mat, bhago mat

PM Modi, speaking at a Lok Sabha election rally in Bengal, said both Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi had fled their constituencies.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today commented for the first time to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s announcement of his candidacy for the Raebareli seat. Rahul is making his way towards Raebareli because he is afraid of Amethi seat, according to the PM.

The Prime Minister sneered as he said at a rally in Bengal that today he also want to tell him, Daro Mat (don’t be afraid), Bhaago Mat (don’t run).

Rahul Gandhi has often said, Daro Mat while accusing the BJP government of using investigaticve agencies to terrorise critics and political opponents.

According to Prime Minister Modi, there is no need for an exit poll or opinion survey because Congress would lose by a greater margin than the previous time.

Their tallest leader did not have the guts to fight the polls in Raebareli, Prime Minister Modi added, making reference to Sonia Gandhi. She went away and joined the Rajya Sabha in Rajasthan.

The PM reffered Rahul Gandhi as Shehzaada and said he would lose Wayanad, as he has predicted. He was searching for a second seat because of this. Also, their supporters said that he would battle from Amethi. However, PM Modi said, he is so afraid that he ran to Raebareli to find a way out.

Additionally, he claimed that the I.N.D.I.A bloc is only committed to the voting base of a specific locality.

Speaking out against the TMC and the Left-Congress allience in Bengal, Prime Minister Modi claimed he was not afraid since he had overcome poverty. Getting scared is not in his dictionary. He is determined to work for the country, he said.

Meanwhile, the Amethi-Raebareli decision was attacked by a number of BJP leaders, who claimed it was obvious that Rahul Gandhi knew he couldn’t win Amethi, where Smriti Irani is contesting again following her stunning success in the previous Lok Sabha election.
