[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Two persons including a police inspector died in violence that flared up in Shyana area of Bulandshahr district in Uttar Pradesh during protests over alleged cow slaughter.

Media reports quoting a senior Uttar Pradesh police officer said the incident took place around a little before 11 noon. The officer said some people had earlier complained about a case of cow slaughter in the forested area near the village. “On this information, the police and executive magistrate reached the spot,” the officer was quoted as saying.

But for some reason, the people started getting agitated over the lack of what they perceived was inadequate police action and started loading the remnants of the animals in their tractors.

The officer, Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh, was killed in firing when the mob, throwing stones, took on the police who had arrived to restore law and order. Another policeman, a constable, is in a serious condition.

The mob of villagers, numbering around 300-400 reached the police station, UP’s additional director general of police Anand Kumar told NDTV. They attacked a police station, setting a police van to fire.

While the situation is tense, a heavy police force has been deployed in the area to restore peace.

A Special Investigation Team has been formed to investigate the cow slaughter and the mob violence, reported NDTV. Security has been bolstered in the area with five companies of Rapid Action Force and six companies of Provincial Armed Constabulary.

“One police inspector has been killed and police is being mobilised to Bulandshahr after clashes in the area,” Civil Lines (Aligarh) police official told indianexpress.com. The killed police officer has been identified as Inspector Subodh Verma, who was injured in the attack and was declared brought dead in the hospital.

According to the District Magistrate, protests in the area began after people found the alleged carcass of a cow in the field and blocked a road in the area. Upon receiving the information the police reached the spot and tried to get the roads open when some unwanted elements started pelting stones and attacked the police party. During the protest, police opened fire to scatter the crowd following which the mob attacked the police station. The mob vandalised the station while setting arson to police vehicles.

The police say they are trying to divert vehicles from the area to ease tensions.

The news follows reports highlighting communal harmony between Hindus and Muslims, seen in opening up a Shiv Mandir to let Muslims offer namaz. There were several celebratory messages and reports about this and tweets like this were seen on social media: “Namaz in Shiv temple Premises. Bulandshahr Hindu Samaj sets an example by allowing Muslims to perform Namaz in Hindu temple as large gathering of Community gathered for Tablighi Ijtima in town”

This apparently did not suit some elements and the present problem was likely a result of this. There were attempts to further inflame communal passions, with posts on social media linking it to a Muslim program of Ijtema and Bulandshahr police had to ask people to desist from spreading hateful propaganda.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah has drawn a clear line between the INDIA opposition bloc and the Congress’s ongoing ‘vote chori’ campaign, stating that the alliance has no role in the issue being raised by the grand old party.

Speaking to the media, Abdullah said every political party within the alliance is free to decide its own priorities. He underlined that the Congress has chosen to focus on alleged irregularities linked to voter lists and electoral processes, while other parties may pursue different agendas.

According to Abdullah, the INDIA bloc as a collective is not associated with the ‘vote chori’ narrative. He added that no party within the alliance should dictate what issues another constituent should raise in public discourse.

The remarks came days after the Congress organised a large rally in the national capital to intensify its campaign. The party has alleged that the Election Commission is working in favour of the BJP to influence electoral outcomes. Both the poll body and the ruling party have rejected these claims.

INDIA bloc cohesion under scrutiny

Abdullah’s comments have gained significance as they follow his recent observation that the INDIA bloc is currently on “life support”. That remark, made during an interaction at a leadership summit in Delhi, triggered mixed reactions from alliance partners.

At the event, Abdullah had said the opposition grouping revives intermittently but struggles to maintain momentum, especially after electoral setbacks. He also pointed to the Bihar political developments, suggesting that decisions taken by the alliance may have contributed to Nitish Kumar returning to the NDA fold. He further cited the inability to accommodate the Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand Mukti Morcha in Bihar seat-sharing talks as a missed opportunity.

Allies respond to Omar Abdullah’s remarks

Reactions from within the INDIA bloc reflected differing views on Abdullah’s assessment. RJD leader Manoj Jha termed the remarks “rushed” and said responsibility for strengthening the alliance lies with all constituents, including Abdullah himself.

CPI general secretary D Raja called for introspection among alliance partners, questioning the lack of coordination despite the stated objective of defeating the BJP and safeguarding democratic values.

Samajwadi Party MP Rajeev Rai disagreed with the “life support” analogy, saying electoral defeats are part of politics and should not demoralise opposition forces. He cautioned that internal pessimism only serves the BJP’s interests.

BJP targets opposition unity

The BJP seized on the comments to attack the opposition bloc’s unity. Senior leader Shahnawaz Hussain dismissed the INDIA alliance as defunct, claiming it lost relevance after the Lok Sabha elections and lacks leadership and a clear policy direction.

Abdullah’s latest clarification on the ‘vote chori’ campaign reinforces the visible differences within the opposition alliance, even as its constituents continue to debate strategy and coordination ahead of future political battles.

Nitin Nabin

Newly appointed BJP national working president Nitin Nabin on Monday described his elevation as a blessing bestowed by the party and expressed gratitude to its top leadership for placing faith in him.

Speaking to reporters in Patna after paying floral tributes to a statue of his late father, former BJP MLA Nabin Kishor Prasad Sinha, the Bihar minister said he would continue to work on the principles he inherited from his family and the organisation.

“I have always worked on the ideas of my father, who treated the party like his mother and put the nation above everything else. I believe that is why the party has given me this responsibility,” Nabin said. He later visited Mahavir Mandir in the city to offer prayers.

Gratitude to Prime Minister, focus on Antyodaya

Thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his guidance, Nabin said development under the current leadership has reached towns and villages across the country. He added that the party has expanded its presence and emerged as a platform representing the poor.

According to Nabin, no section of society has remained untouched by the welfare initiatives of the NDA government. He said the idea of Antyodaya has now reached every corner of India, recalling the contributions of Deendayal Upadhyaya, Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Atal Bihari Vajpayee in shaping the philosophy.

On elections and party organisation

Responding to questions on upcoming elections, including in West Bengal, Nabin said BJP workers remain active at all times. He remarked that unlike other parties, BJP cadres work round the year and remain prepared in every state.

At 45, Nabin is a five-time MLA from the Bankipur assembly constituency and has served twice as a minister in the Bihar government. He comes from an RSS background and is currently part of the Nitish Kumar-led state cabinet.

A generational shift in the party

Nabin’s appointment as national working president on Sunday was seen as a significant organisational move. The position, though not mentioned in the party constitution, has earlier served as a transition role before elevation to the top post.

Prime Minister Modi publicly endorsed the decision, describing Nabin as a hardworking and grounded leader with strong organisational experience. Party leaders have projected the move as part of a generational shift, with Nabin expected to follow a trajectory similar to that of the current national president, who had earlier served as working president before taking charge of the organisation.

BJP demands Sonia Gandhi’s apology over Congress rally slogan targeting PM Modi

A slogan raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a Congress rally in Jaipur has sparked a political storm, with the BJP demanding an apology from Sonia Gandhi and other senior Congress leaders.

A political controversy has erupted after a slogan referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “grave” was raised during a Congress rally in Jaipur, prompting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to demand an apology from senior Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi.

The slogan was raised at a ‘Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod’ rally held in Rajasthan’s capital, where Manju Lata Meena, Jaipur women’s Congress district president, led a group chanting the remark against the Prime Minister. The rally was organised to highlight the Opposition’s allegations of vote theft against the BJP.

When questioned later, Meena defended her statement, saying it reflected public anger over alleged electoral issues. She also accused the Prime Minister of diverting attention from concerns related to employment, youth, women and farmers.

BJP seeks apology from Congress leadership

The remarks triggered sharp reactions from the ruling party. BJP president and Union minister JP Nadda raised the issue in the Rajya Sabha, calling the slogan highly objectionable and accusing the Congress of revealing its mindset through such language. He demanded an apology from Sonia Gandhi, chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, and Mallikarjun Kharge, the Leader of the Opposition in the Upper House.

Union minister Kiren Rijiju also criticised the slogan, saying political rivals are not enemies and such statements cross acceptable boundaries. Addressing a press conference, he urged Kharge and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi to apologise on the floor of both Houses of Parliament. Rijiju said it was unfortunate that Congress workers were using language that appeared to incite violence against a constitutional authority.

Congress response and allies’ reactions

Congress MP Manickam Tagore dismissed the BJP’s reaction, claiming that the rally had unsettled ruling party leaders. He said the response from BJP leaders showed they were rattled by the Opposition’s campaign.

However, some of Congress’s allies distanced themselves from the slogan. A Samajwadi Party MP said political differences should not translate into disrespectful language for those holding constitutional posts. A senior leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (SP) also termed the slogan inappropriate, stating that regardless of political disagreements, the Prime Minister’s position must be respected.

The episode has added to the ongoing war of words between the BJP and the Congress, with both sides trading accusations as Parliament’s Winter Session continues.
