Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath draws parallel between Ayodhya, Sambhal and Bangladesh violence, says same DNA

Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath today said that what is happening in Bangladesh now is the same as what Mughal ruler Babur’s army did in Ayodhya and Sambhal. While speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the 43rd Ramayan Mela in Ayodhya, the Chief Minister said that Lord Ram united the whole society.

He said that if they had given importance to unity and not let the strategy of the nation’s enemies succeed in creating social animosity, this country would have never become a slave. He continued that the pilgrimages would not have become impure, adding that a handful of invaders would not have dared to invade the country and would be crushed by India’s brave soldiers.

Yogi Adityanath further said that those who created difficulties within the society managed to succeed, adding that their genes remain the same to this day. Apparently taking a jibe at the opposition, he said that those who indulge in caste-based politics to shatter the social fabric are still active.

He added that 500 years ago, a general of Babur committed certain deeds in Ayodhya, similar acts taking place in Sambhal, and what is happening today in Bangladesh. The nature and DNA of all three are the same, he continued.

He mentioned that divisive elements are there already, tearing apart the social fabric and breaking social unity. He added that many such divisive forces have bought properties across the world. He said that when a crisis happens in India, those forces flee to their places in other countries and leave behind the citizens here to suffer and die.

Nonetheless, CM Yogi’s remark is drawing ire from the opposition. Congress MP Tariq Anwar told the media that a chief minister cannot speak such language. He said that it is shocking to see such a senior leader of BJP and CM of Uttar Pradesh speaking such language to divide the society.

Delhi Elections: Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP delegation meets EC over voter deletion issue, submits proof

Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party delegation on Wednesday met the Election Commission to present evidence on the alleged deletion of voters’ names in the electoral rolls ahead of the Delhi assembly elections.

Speaking to the media, AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal said that  today they met the Election Commission and submitted before them 3000-page evidence on how BJP is conspiring to cut votes of people of the national capital. He added that votes of the poor, SC and Dalits are being cut. 

The former Delhi Chief Minister stated that they told EC how a BJP member did the work of cutting the votes of 11,000 people in the Shahdara area. He mentioned that they have requested the EC to stop this mass deletion of names before elections and FIRs be registered against those who have applied mass deletion of names. The Election Commission has said that no mass deletions will be done before elections, he continued.

Arvind Kejriwal also mentioned that in cases of voter deletions, a field inquiry will be carried out by the Booth Level Officer (BLO), accompanied by representatives from various political parties.

Earlier on Wednesday, senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia at a press conference alleged that the BJP had submitted a large number of applications for the deletion of voters names from the electoral rolls.

The Senior AAP leader said that when it has become impossible for the BJP to defeat AAP in Delhi, and when it has become impossible to stop Arvind Kejriwal, they are trying to defeat AAP by cutting votes. 

The former Deputy Chief Minister further claimed that a large number of applications have been made to delete voters’ names from the electoral rolls, including those of people who have been living in the same area for years.

The AAP,  which is aiming for a third consecutive term, has accused the BJP of attempting to manipulate the voter rolls to influence the elections.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday launched a scathing attack at Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, calling him the biggest government spokesperson. The Congress President said that the biggest reason for disruptions in the Rajya Sabha is the Chairman itself. 

Recently, the INDIA alliance has submitted a notice to bring a motion in Rajya Sabha for the removal of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. Speaking about the opposition parties’ motion, Mallikarjun Kharge pointed out that no resolution had been brought to remove the Vice President since 1952 as the person occupying the post were unbiased and beyond politics and always ran the House as per the rules. However, today, there is more politics than rules in the House, he continued.

He further claimed that the Rajya Sabha Chairman does schooling like a headmaster.  He maintained that from the opposition side, whenever important issues are raised, as per rules the Chairman does not allow the House to have the discussion in a planned way. He mentioned that time and again opposition leaders are stopped from speaking.

Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that Vice President Dhankhar’s fidelity was towards the ruling BJP instead of the Constitution and consitutional tradition.

He added that the Chairman is also working as a spokesperson of the government for his next promotion. He also asserted that he has no hesitation in saying that the biggest disruptor in Rajya Sabha is the Chairman himself.

Rahul Gandhi meets Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla amid Parliament standoff, asks to expunge derogatory remark against him

Amid Parliament Standoff, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi met Speaker Om Birla and urged him to expunge derogatory remarks made in the House against his family and the Congress. 

After the meeting, Rahul Gandhi told the reporters that the speaker said that he would look into the matter regarding derogatory comments. He added that the Opposition’s aim is that the House must run and discussion should happen in the House. The Congress leader remarked that no matter what the BJP says about him, they want to have a debate on December 13. He continued that the BJP will keep levelling allegations on them but the House must function.

BJP Lok Sabha MPs Nishikant Dubey and Sambit Patra on December 5 had riled up the Opposition Congress by alleging links between Rahul Gandhi and Hungarian.

A day after, while speaking in the House, Nishikant Dubey brought up Soros and the global investigative news network OCCRP (Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project).

The BJP leader remarked that the Congress has relations with OCCRP, which gets all its funds from the US government and George Soros. He further questioned if Rahul Gandhi took money from George Soros for the Bharat Jodo Yatra?”

The BJP MP’s statement had caused a high-voltage drama as Congress MPs stormed the Well of the House in protest. Later, the House was adjourned. Following, the Congress members demanded to know the status of their notices regarding breach of privileges against Dubey and Patra.

While responding to queries about BJP’s Patra calling Rahul Gandhi a traitor, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that those who can call Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi traitors, have no qualms about calling Rahul Gandhi one. 

Notably, the Winter Session of Parliament has been a washout so far after repeated disruptions on multiple issues. When the session commenced, Congress MPs demanded a discussion on the US Department of Justice indictment against the directors of Adani Green, which led to differences within the Opposition ranks because Congress allies like Trinamool Congress wanted the House to function and discuss issues such as price rise, Manipur unrest and unemployment.
