Pateria apologises, Congress may issue notice
However, Pateria apologised for his statement on Monday night. On the other hand, Congress can issue notice to him. Earlier Pateria had said that he was a follower of Mahatma Gandhi and a Gandhiian cannot talk about killing someone. His video is being propagated in a wrong way, he clarified.
This statement of Pateria is of December 11. He was talking to workers at Mandalam in Panna district. Then he had said that Modi will finish the election. Modi will divide you on the basis of religion, caste, language. The future life of Dalits, tribals and minorities is in danger and if you want to save the constitution, then be ready to kill Modi. Murder in the sense… Be ready to defeat him, he was heard saying.
Congress makes distances from statement, Kamal Nath condemns Pateria
Former Congress Chief Minister Kamal Nath said that if there was even an iota of truth in the video, he strongly condemns such statements. Every worker of the Congress follows Gandhian principles of truth-non-violence. Sacrifice by following the path of non-violence is duty of Congressmen. It is now being said that the Congress may issue a notice to Pateria.
Pateria had issued controversial statements earlier as well
Around 10 months back, Raja Pateria had given a controversial statement. At that time, he had said to a policeman that it was wrong to remove the tribals in the area who were in possession of forest land before 2005 and were earning their livelihood by farming. Harassing tribals in this way, assaulting their women is legally wrong. A law has been passed in the Parliament that those tribals, who were in possession of forest land before 2005, would be given its patta.
He also said that this was the reason why Naxalism is flourishing in Bastar and Andhra Pradesh, because if the tribals do not get justice, they will be forced to take up arms.

The Indian Space Research Organisation on Friday postponed the plans to reactivate Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover to September 23.
After Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover soft landing on the South Pole of the Moon on August 24, both Vikram and Pragyan functioned effectively for a duration of 14 Earth days. The Rover was put on sleep mode on September 2, while the Lander was on September 4.
They were put on sleep mode for approximately 16 Earth days before the lunar night enveloped the south pole of the Moon.
Speaking on Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover, Nilesh Desai, Director of Space Application Centre said that earlier we planned to reactivate the Pragyan Rover and Vikram Lander on the evening of September 22, but due to some reasons we will do it on September 23, said Desai.
He further said a plan to take out the Lander and Rover from the sleep mode and reactivate it, adding that, we had a plan to move the Rover to almost 300 to 350 metres but due to some reasons, the Rover has moved 105 metres there.
In collaboration with MyGov, ISRO has invited the citizens to participate in the Chandrayaan-3 Mahaquiz. The step was taken with the motive to honour India’s amazing space exploration journey. This will help to explore the wonders of the moon and show our love and passion for science.
In order to participate in the Chandrayaan-3 Mahaquiz, the participants would be required to create an account on the MyGov website. There is a cash prize for the winners and it also allows individuals to download the certificate.
Earlier, the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) instrument onboard the Pragyan rover also detected aluminium, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon and oxygen, as expected.
ISRO also shared a graph of the observation on X, illustrating the temperature variation of the lunar surface at various depths, as recorded during the probe’s penetration.
