BSF martyr’s daughter dragged out of Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani’s rally

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi slams BJP for “height of arrogance”; disturbing video of the woman being dragged by security personnel goes viral

In an obviously condemnable act that could cost the BJP dearly in the upcoming Gujarat assembly polls, security personnel at the venue of an election rally being addressed by chief minister Vijay Rupani violently dragged away a 26-year-old daughter of a martyred BSF jawan as she tried to approach the stage to voice her grievances.

The disturbing incident, caught on video, flies in the face of BJP’s repeated claims of having the greatest respect for India’s security personnel, martyrs and their kin – a poll pitch which the party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have often used to counter the Congress party, which they claim “insults our jawans and the Army”.

The incident occurred on Friday in Gujarat’s Narmada district where chief minister Vijay Rupani was addressing an election rally.

According to reports, 26-year-old Rupal, daughter of Ashok Tadvi – a BSF jawan who was martyred in Srinagar, Kashmir in 2002 – rushed towards the stage to inform the Gujarat chief minister that her family was yet to receive the compensation that was announced for them for her father’s martyrdom.

In the video of the incident, that has since gone viral on various social media platforms, Rupal can be seen rushing towards the stage when she is accosted by several women police personnel who then forcefully eject her from the venue even as she pleads to them saying Ï want to speak to Rupani sahib”. Ironically, Rupani can be seen in the background telling the audience at the rally that the saffron party is committed towards “desh ki sewa” (service of the nation).

According to a report in the Times of India, following Tadvi’s martyrdom in 2002 his family had been promised land as compensation by the Gujarat government – then led by Narendra Modi who was the state’s chief minister. However, the family said that they are still struggling to get the piece of land.

As the video of the incident went viral, Rupani took to Twitter to counter Rupal’s claim of being denied the promised compensation. He asserted that Tadvi’s widow, Rekhaben, had been given four acres land, Rs 10,000 monthly pension and Rs 36,000 annual pension by the BJP government while also promising that the family will be given a 200 square meter residential plot near a road.

The shameful incident earned Rupani and the BJP a stern rebuke from Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi who is leading his party’s poll campaign in Gujarat where the party has been out of power for the past 22 years. In a tweet that was accompanied by a video of Rupal being dragged away by four women and a couple of male police personnel, Rahul said the incident showed the BJP’s “height of arrogance” while he took a jibe at Rupani calling him a “param deshbhakt” (biggest patriot) and chided him for “shaming humanity” by getting a martyr’s daughter forcefully evicted from his rally.

2024 Lok Sabha Elections

Bihar: Election Commission extends voting timings for 4 Lok Sabha seats due to heatwave

The voting period has been extended by two hours for a total of 299 polling stations

Published

In accordance to the rising temperatures in Bihar, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has extended the voting hours for the upcoming three phases of the parliamentary polls at 1,700 polling places spread across four parliamentary seats, Banka, Madhepura, Khagaria, and Munger. The extension of the voting hours was announced by poll officials on Wednesday.

Polling generally takes place from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. in most parts of the country, however, in certain isolated locations and in constituencies impacted by left-wing extremism, polls close two hours early to allow polling parties to move around easily.

The ECI gazette notification said the dates for the parliamentary constituencies of Banka (Katoria and Belhar assembly segments), which will hold elections on April 26, Madhepura (Mahishi assembly segment), Khagaria (Simri Bakhtiyarpur, Alauli, and Beldaur assembly segments), where voting will take place on May 7, and Munger (Suryagarha assembly segment), which will hold final phase elections on May 13, have been extended.

The voting period has been extended by two hours for a total of 299 polling stations in Simri Bakhtiarpur, 191 polling stations in Belhar AC of Banka, 172 polling stations in Katoria Assembly Constituency (AC) and 191 polling stations in Belhar AC of Banka, 207 booths in Mahishi AC of Madhepura seat, and 230 polling stations in Suryagarha AC of Munger.

In an effort to boost voter turnout, which fell to 49.26% in the first phase of polling on April 19 in Aurangabad, Gaya, Nawada, and Jamui from 53.47% in 2019 by 4.21%, the timing has also been extended.

Meanwhile, during the course of the next several days, temperatures in the southern states, namely Kerala and Karnataka, are predicted to rise by 2-3°C. In Southern Karnataka, where up to 14 constituencies are scheduled to vote in Phase 2, a heatwave warning has been issued. It is predicted to affect the districts of Tumkur, Davangere, Vijayapura, Yadgir, Koppal, Bagalkote, Kalaburgi, Raichur, Ballari, Chitradurga, Kolar, Chikkaballapura, Gadag, and Davangere.

The EC stated that a likely factor influencing voter turnout is the increase in temperature.

Landslide hits Arunachal Pradesh, highway linking Indo-China border affected

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu said that instructions have been given for the restoration of connectivity at the earliest

Published

on

Arunachal Pradesh got hit by a massive landslide on Thursday, which destroyed a section of a roadway connecting the border with China. Additionally, it is the only path that links the district of Dibhang Valley with the rest of India.

Based on initial reports, there has been extensive road damage along the Roing Anini Highway between Hunli and Anini.

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu expressed concern over the incident.

Taking to social media X, formerly Twitter, he tweeted, he is disturbed to hear that the massive damage to the highway between Hunli and Anini is causing commuters’ inconvenience. Since this road links Dibang Valley to the rest of the country, instructions have been sent out to restore connectivity as soon as possible.

The incident occurred as a result of the nonstop rain. The district government announced that the Roing Anini highway restoration project would require at least three days to inhabitants of Dibhang Valley.

Videos showed a section of the roadway was missing, making it hard for vehicles to cross throughout and creating problems for the security services and the people, who saw the highway as a lifeline in this difficult area.

In order to fix the damaged sections of the highway, the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) has mobilized resources. There is no shortage of food or other necessities at the moment.

All residents of Dibang Valley are notified that on April 24, 2024, an important portion of NH 313 connecting Anini to Roing washed away due to persistent rain in the district. It is estimated that restoration will take at least three (three days). Therefore, until the road is repaired and the rain returns to normal, all worries are advised, the statement said.

Actor Tamannaah Bhatia has been summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber Wing to appear for questioning for the illegal streaming of the 2023 Indian Premier League on Fairplay App, a sister app of the Mahadev betting app.

On April 29, the actor is scheduled to appear before the Cyber Cell for interrogation.

Many celebrities, including Badshah, Sanjay Dutt, and Jacqueline Fernandez, were summoned for questioning after the filing of the FIR. An employee of the betting app was taken into custody in December of 2023.
