Veer Savarkar

A row over Veer Savarkar’s portrait in the museum is going on in Telangana and now the Telangana Congress on Wednesday urged the state government to remove the photo of RSS leader Veer Savarkar from the Salar Jung Museum.

It is reported that Congress also urged the government to replace it with the photo of freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Gandhi or Nizams of Hyderabad.

Organising Secretary in Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee Osman Mohammed Khan while talking to reporters said that the Congress leaders on Tuesday visited the Salar Jung Museum in Hyderabad. At the museum, we objected to placing the photo of Savarkar inside the Museum and demand the Government remove it with immediate effect.

Khan also expressed his unhappiness over witnessing the minimal representation of Nizams of Hyderabad in the museum. He also said that they went to the museum which is one of the best in Hyderabad. I felt really bad looking at a few scenes here. Salar Jung was a Prime Minister during the Nizam rule. The Nizam family here had donated several antique pieces. However, the government did not acknowledge it well.

He further said that the museum authorities have removed all his photos from the museum. Instead, they chose to place the photo of Savarkar here. Savarkar was never a part of the freedom struggle. He was supporting the Britishers. Putting his photo in the Salar Jung museum is very shameful and we condemn it.

Apart from this, he also question MP Asaduddin Owaisi and said that the museum comes under his jurisdiction and here the local MLA, the local corporator is of AIMIM. Such a big issue is happening and you are not aware of it? We appeal that Savarkar’s portrait be removed from here immediately.

In Wayanad, Rahul Gandhi says protecting Constitution is India’s primary battle

He emphasised that such a mindset represents the kind of politics needed in India—not one of animosity but one of love and kindness.

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi asserted on Sunday that the primary struggle in the country today is to safeguard and preserve the Constitution. He emphasised that the Constitution was crafted not from hatred but with humility and affection.

“The primary struggle taking place is for our Constitution. The greatness and protection we enjoy stem from it,” he stated during a corner meeting in Mananthavady, part of the campaign for his sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who is contesting the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll.

Rahul explained that the Constitution was not born from anger or animosity but enacted by those who battled colonial rule, endured suffering, and spent many years in prison. They created the Constitution with love and humility, he added.

The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha emphasised that this struggle represents a fight between love and hatred. “It is a fight between confidence and insecurity. To prevail in this battle, we must eliminate anger and hatred from our hearts and replace them with love, humility, and compassion,” he added.

The former Congress president also reflected on his sister’s compassionate actions, sharing a poignant memory. “She is someone who embraced the girl implicated in my father’s assassination. When she returned from meeting Nalini, she expressed her sorrow for her,” he recalled.

He emphasised that such a mindset represents the kind of politics needed in India—not one of animosity but one of love and kindness.

During her campaign, Priyanka Gandhi took the opportunity to criticise the central government, claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is solely serving the interests of large business magnates.

“The Modi government prioritises his wealthy friends. Its agenda does not focus on improving your quality of life, creating jobs for educated youth, or enhancing healthcare and education,” she contended.

Priyanka continued her campaign activities by engaging in public and corner meetings alongside Rahul in the hilly constituency.

Jammu & Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah condemns grenade attack near Sunday market in Srinagar

According to reports, at least six people were injured when terrorists threw a grenade in a crowded flea market in the heart of the city.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on November 3 condemned the grenade attack near a busy Sunday market in Srinagar and said there could be no justification for targeting innocent civilians.

According to reports, at least six people were injured when terrorists threw a grenade in a crowded flea market in the heart of the city. The injured have been shifted to Shri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital (SMHS).

In a post on X, Abdullah said the last few days have been dominated by headlines of attacks and encounters in parts of the valley. “Today’s news of a grenade attack on innocent shoppers at the ‘Sunday market’ in Srinagar is deeply disturbing,” he added.

The security apparatus must do everything possible to end this spurt of attacks at the earliest so that people can go about their lives without any fear, the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister said.

The incident took place near the heavily guarded Tourist Reception Centre (TRC), occurring one day following the elimination of a top Pakistani commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) by security forces in the Khanyar locality of downtown Srinagar.

Authorities have dispatched police and paramilitary forces to the scene to evacuate the injured and initiate a search operation for the terrorists. The explosion triggered panic in the area, causing shoppers to scramble for cover.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Ravinder Sharma said that this was a conspiracy to disturb the atmosphere in the valley. Such incidents have increased ever since elections have been held and the new government has been formed, he claimed. He prayed for the well-being of those injured in the attack.

Calling for strict actions, the Congress leader said such attacks prove that the militancy is still there in the valley, adding the central government has the entire law and order and security apparatus in its hand.
