Cops probe posters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with tag 'The Lie Lama'

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Delhi police have registered a case for defacing boundary walls by pasting posters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi carrying the tagline “The Lie Lama”, a sarcastic take giving a name that rhymes with ‘Dalai Lama’, the Tibetan spiritual leader.

The case has been registered against unknown persons and the complainant’s identity has also not been revealed by the police, said media reports.

“After learning that such posters had been plastered on a wall in Mandir Marg near Connaught Place and two other places, we immediately alerted our police team,” a senior IPS officer posted at Delhi police’s headquarters was quoted as saying in media reports.

The cops are probing the case to identify those who pasted the posters. Images of the posters went viral on social media on Thursday afternoon.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]While most of such posters were from Delhi, some Twitter users said similar posters were seen in Karnataka too.

Karnataka is voting today, Saturday, May 12 and the posters, showing a smiling Modi with his hands folded, come at a time the PM has been accused of making several incorrect comments and historically wrong statements during the Karnataka election campaign that ended on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Modi had alleged that Congress leaders had not visited freedom fighters Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt in jail. The Congress replied by citing historical documents that refer to Jawaharlal Nehru and other senior party leaders visiting Bhagat Singh in prison.

“Go and read history before misusing it for politics. Nehru not only met them in prison but also wrote about them. Several Congress leaders defied Gandhi to speak for them,” historian S. Irfan Habib had tweeted after Modi’s claim.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTNDYmxvY2txdW90ZSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10d2VldCUyMiUyMGRhdGEtbGFuZyUzRCUyMmVuJTIyJTNFJTNDcCUyMGxhbmclM0QlMjJlbiUyMiUyMGRpciUzRCUyMmx0ciUyMiUzRUdvJTIwYW5kJTIwcmVhZCUyMGhpc3RvcnklMjBiZWZvcmUlMjBtaXN1c2luZyUyMGl0JTIwZm9yJTIwcG9saXRpY3MuJTIwTmVocnUlMjBub3QlMjBvbmx5JTIwbWV0JTIwdGhlbSUyMGluJTIwcHJpc29uJTIwYnV0JTIwYWxzbyUyMHdyb3RlJTIwYWJvdXQlMjB0aGVtLiUyMFNldmVyYWwlMjBDb25ncmVzcyUyMGxlYWRlcnMlMjBkZWZpZWQlMjBHYW5kaGklMjB0byUyMHNwZWFrJTIwZm9yJTIwdGhlbS4lMjAlM0NhJTIwaHJlZiUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGdC5jbyUyRklNcjJ2VHBTblclMjIlM0VodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnQuY28lMkZJTXIydlRwU25XJTNDJTJGYSUzRSUzQyUyRnAlM0UlMjZtZGFzaCUzQiUyMFMlMjBscmZhbiUyMEhhYmliJTIwJTI4JTQwaXJmaGFiaWIlMjklMjAlM0NhJTIwaHJlZiUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGdHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZpcmZoYWJpYiUyRnN0YXR1cyUyRjk5NDQxMDA5Mzk1MjIyMTE4NiUzRnJlZl9zcmMlM0R0d3NyYyUyNTVFdGZ3JTIyJTNFTWF5JTIwMTAlMkMlMjAyMDE4JTNDJTJGYSUzRSUzQyUyRmJsb2NrcXVvdGUlM0UlMEElM0NzY3JpcHQlMjBhc3luYyUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGcGxhdGZvcm0udHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZ3aWRnZXRzLmpzJTIyJTIwY2hhcnNldCUzRCUyMnV0Zi04JTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGc2NyaXB0JTNFJTBBJTNDYmxvY2txdW90ZSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10d2VldCUyMiUyMGRhdGEtbGFuZyUzRCUyMmVuJTIyJTNFJTNDcCUyMGxhbmclM0QlMjJlbiUyMiUyMGRpciUzRCUyMmx0ciUyMiUzRUF1Z3VzdCUyMDE5MjklMjAlM0ElM0ElMjBKYXdhaGFybGFsJTIwTmVocnUlMjBPbiUyMEhpcyUyME1lZXRpbmclMjBXaXRoJTIwQmhhZ2F0JTIwU2luZ2glMjAlMkMlMjBKYXRpbmRyYW5hdGglMjBEYXMlMjBhbmQlMjBCYXR1a2VzaHdhciUyMER1dHQlMjBJbiUyMEJvcnN0YWwlMjBKYWlsJTIwJTJDJTIwTGFob3JlJTIwJTNDYnIlM0UlM0NiciUzRSUyOCUyMFBob3RvJTIwLSUyMFNlbGVjdGVkJTIwV29ya3MlMjBPZiUyMEphd2FoYXJsYWwlMjBOZWhydSUyMFZvbHVtZSUyMDQlMjAlMkZQYWdlJTIwMTMlMjAlMjklMjAlM0NhJTIwaHJlZiUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGdC5jbyUyRmxENFcwSWFFaFolMjIlM0VwaWMudHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZsRDRXMElhRWhaJTNDJTJGYSUzRSUzQyUyRnAlM0UlMjZtZGFzaCUzQiUyMGluZGlhbmhpc3RvcnlwaWNzJTIwJTI4JTQwSW5kaWFIaXN0b3J5cGljJTI5JTIwJTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGSW5kaWFIaXN0b3J5cGljJTJGc3RhdHVzJTJGOTk0NDcyNDY0NjAzMzIwMzIyJTNGcmVmX3NyYyUzRHR3c3JjJTI1NUV0ZnclMjIlM0VNYXklMjAxMCUyQyUyMDIwMTglM0MlMkZhJTNFJTNDJTJGYmxvY2txdW90ZSUzRSUwQSUzQ3NjcmlwdCUyMGFzeW5jJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZwbGF0Zm9ybS50d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRndpZGdldHMuanMlMjIlMjBjaGFyc2V0JTNEJTIydXRmLTglMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0UlMEE=[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]’Nehru insulted General Thimayya in 1948 after the Indo-Pak War’

Speaking at an election rally in Kalaburgi, Prime Minister Modi said “Karnataka is synonymous with valour. But, how did the Congress Govts treat Field Marshall Cariappa and General Thimayya? History is proof of that. In 1948 after defeating Pakistan, General Thimayya was insulted by PM Nehru and Defence Minister Krishna Menon.”

Many including historians and pandits pointed out the factual inaccuracies in the statement.

Krishna Menon was Defence Minister from April 1957 to October 1962. General Thimayya was Army Chief from May 1957 to May 1961.

‘Sonia and Rahul didn’t congratulate Kovind, a Dalit, on becoming President’

On May 6th, addressing a rally in Bagalkot of Karnataka, Modi said, “The arrogance of Congress party is at its peak, a Dalit mother’s child, raised in a village became the President (Ram Nath Kovind), and it should have been their responsibility to make a courtesy call, but they did not like it. It has been a year, but Madam Soniaji did not get time to make a courtesy call to the President, his Prince (Rahul Gandhi) met the President seven months later and that too to hand over a memorandum.”

The fact of the matter is both Sonia and Rahul congratulated Ramnath Kovind on his election victory, on the day of the result itself.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]’Sonia, Rahul did not congratulate BJP on 2014 election win’

Addressing a rally in Bagalkot on May 6th PM Modi said “It has been the tradition that those who lose in elections accept the defeat and the peaceful transfer of power. But after 2014 Lok Sabha election results, Congress politicians, the mother and son, did not even have the courtesy to congratulate the party that won,” he said, referring to then Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

In fact, both Sonia and Rahul had congratulated the BJP and the then Prime Minister-elect Narendra Modi on the election victory, even before all the results were officially out.

As PM Modi took to hectic campaigning in the final phase, such statements came fast, one after the other, exposing him to attacks. The posters appeared soon after.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Border Security Force (BSF) personnel shot and killed an individual attempting to cross the India-Pakistan border in the Ganganagar district of Rajasthan late on Tuesday, according to police.

Jitendra Kumar, the station house officer at Kesrisinghpur police station, stated that the man was trying to breach the barbed wire fence when he was spotted by BSF personnel. “They advised him to leave the area, but when he continued to advance, the BSF personnel shot him,” said the SHO.

Sriganganagar Superintendent of Police Gaurav Yadav confirmed that the suspect was allegedly trying to enter Indian territory around midnight on December 24, 2024. Despite warnings from the BSF soldiers, he did not heed their calls, which resulted in the shooting.

The incident occurred near a village in the Kesarisinghpur area. Items recovered from the intruder included Pakistani currency notes, a cigarette packet, an identity card, and other belongings. Authorities are currently gathering more information about him.

Ongoing discussions are taking place between the armed forces and police officers regarding the incident. An FIR has been filed that includes charges of trespassing and violations of the Passports Act and the Foreigners Act, according to Kumar. “We are investigating the case under these acts,” he added.

This incident is one of several similar occurrences along the border. In August, the BSF apprehended an intruder named Jagsi Kohli, who had entered about 15 kilometers into Indian territory in Barmer after locals alerted authorities that he was asking for directions to Tharparkar, a district in Pakistan’s Sindh province.

In March of this year, another person attempting to cross the border in Ganganagar was shot by BSF personnel. There have been additional incidents reported in October 2022 and twice in March 2021, all resulting in fatalities among the intruders.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP chief J.P. Nadda and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu among leaders of the NDA met in New Delhi on Wednesday to discuss different issues including Shah’s comment on BR Ambedkar days ago in Rajya Sabha.

In attendance, apart from Shah, Nadda and Naidu, JD-U leader and Union minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh, Apna Dal (S) president and Union minister Anupriya Patel, as well as JD (S) leader and Union minister H.D. Kumaraswamy were present.

Also present were Jitan Ram Manjhi, leader of Bihar’s Hindustani Awam Morcha (S) and a minister in the Modi government, Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) president Upendra Kushwaha, a Rajya Sabha MP, and Thushar Vellappally, president of Bharath Dharma Jana Sena.

While the specific agenda of the meeting was not officially disclosed, sources indicated that discussions revolved around good governance and various political issues—principles that were central to Vajpayee’s tenure as Prime Minister. The alliance had decided to convene on the birthday of the late BJP leader, noted for successfully leading the first coalition government to complete its term.

Following the meeting, Nadda shared on X, “Attended the NDA leaders’ meeting in New Delhi today. Under the visionary leadership of PM Narendra Modi, India is achieving unprecedented milestones and has positioned itself as a global superpower. The NDA government remains committed to realizing the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat@2047’, ensuring a brighter and more prosperous future for all.”

Sanjay Nishad, chief of the NISHAD Party in Uttar Pradesh, described the meeting as “informal” and focused on Vajpayee’s legacy. He emphasised the importance of unity among all alliance members heading into future elections, mentioning that they congratulated the BJP leaders for their electoral victories in Haryana and Maharashtra.

Nishad further outlined that the meeting addressed coalition strategies to ensure that Prime Minister Modi’s initiatives effectively reach the populace and that electoral promises are fulfilled. He raised the topic of providing reservations for the fishing community, stating, “I presented evidence on this issue, as it was a poll promise. They will follow up with us next week to discuss it.”

Responding to inquiries about whether Amit Shah’s controversial remarks on Ambedkar were discussed, Nishad said, “We are here for the welfare of the people. Our energy should focus on achieving success in that area, rather than engaging with negativity from opposition parties.”

The NDA meeting underscores the alliance’s commitment to the proposed simultaneous elections, with all members backing the initiative. A Joint Committee of Parliament, established to review two bills related to simultaneous polls, is set to convene on January 8.

Manipur CM Biren Singh says state needs immediate peace, understanding between two communities

He claimed that the administration is responding quickly to the displaced people’s needs in areas such as education and agriculture.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Wednesday emphasised the urgent need for peace in the state, which has faced ethnic violence since May of last year, and called on two communities to reach a mutual understanding.

Speaking at the Good Governance Day event held at the state BJP headquarters, Singh expressed confidence that the BJP could restore stability to the northeastern state, highlighting the party’s commitment to coexisting harmoniously.

“What is happening in Manipur today has multiple causes. Those who seek to divide the state are now questioning the government’s actions… they are driven by a desire for power,” Singh remarked.

He mentioned several initiatives, such as ‘Meeyamgi Numit’ (People’s Day), designed to foster closer relationships between officials and the public. “We do not oppose any specific community. The BJP’s position is clear: we advocate for the idea of living together and have initiated efforts to strengthen ties between the police and the community,” he stated.

Singh added that the state government is diligently addressing the needs of internally displaced persons by establishing committees throughout the administrative framework. He claimed that the administration is responding quickly to the displaced people’s needs in areas such as education and agriculture.

“We have not made any mistakes. Our goal is to ensure the well-being of future generations. It is essential for both communities to remain calm. Rather than dwelling on the past, we should concentrate on the upcoming NRC process, capturing biometrics, and using 1961 as the foundation year for the Inner Line Permit,” Singh said.

He also highlighted the government’s commitment to acting within a democratic and constitutional framework, noting that achieving these goals will take time. “What we require now is immediate peace and a resolution of misunderstandings between the two communities,” he concluded.

The ongoing violence has resulted in the deaths of over 250 individuals and left thousands homeless due to clashes between the Meitei community and Kuki-Zo groups since last May.

“Only the BJP can save Manipur. BJP leaders possess strong values of nationalism and social justice, practicing reality-based politics in the nation’s interest. If I am not nominated for a ticket by the BJP, I will remain loyal to the party,” Mr. Singh added.

He also highlighted several unity-focused projects initiated by the BJP government, mentioning that a Unity Mall featuring stalls from all ethnic groups in the state will be constructed with an investment exceeding ₹140 crores.
