Smriti Irani attacks Rahul on Twitter, again. Now over Jay Shah
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Union Information and Broadcasting minister replies to Rahul’s Shah-zada taunt at Amit Shah’s son, says man out on bail is mocking courts
Irked at his ‘Shah-zada’ jibe against Jay Shah, son of BJP national president Amit Shah who is in the centre of a controversy over his company’s meteoric rise in wealth since May 2014, Union Information and Broadcasting minister Smriti Irani, on Saturday, hit out at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi through a post on micro-blogging website, Twitter.
Irani, who has often launched both veiled and direct attacks on Rahul through her Twitter posts, was peeved at the Congress president red-flagging the purported gag order by an Ahmedabad court against The Wire which prohibits the news portal from publishing any articles about Jay Shah.
The Wire had earlier this month published an article which showed how Jay Shah’s company saw its wealth and annual turnover swell by a staggering 16000 times – from a meager Rs 50000 to over Rs 80 crore – ever since Narendra Modi drove the BJP to power at the Centre in May 2014. The article had given the Congress and other Opposition parties some much needed ammunition to hit out at Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Days after the article was published, an ad-interim injunction was issued by fourth Additional Senior Civil Judge, Ahmedabad Rural to The Wire. The injunction restrained The Wire from “using and publishing or printing in any electronic, print, digital or any other media, or broadcast,telecast, print and publish in any manner including by way of interview, holding TV talks, debate and debates, news items, programs in any language on the basis of the article published in ‘THE WIRE ‘ (dated 8/10/2010) either directly or indirectly on the subject matter with respect to the plaintiff in any manner whatsoever.”
The Congress vice president had, in a series of tweets that were posted over the past few days, mocked at the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the gag order against The Wire.[/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][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Saturday, Irani seems to have noticed the Congress vice president’s tweets and decided to hit back.

Irani, along with Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, had earlier this month also visited Amethi where she had launched a scathing attack against Rahul for allegedly neglecting his constituency.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Bihar caste census results: Greater population, greater rights is our pledge, says Rahul Gandhi
RJD president Lalu Yadav also issued a statement noting that the exercise will set the tone for nationwide caste census which will be undertaken when they form the next government at the Centre.
Nitish Kumar led Bihar government revealed caste survey results on Monday. The opposition including the Congress welcomed the results and urged the central government to conduct a similar exercise at the national level.
Speaking on the matter, Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is also a vocal supporter of nationwide caste census, stated that Bihar’s survey revealed that 84 percent of the people in the state are Other Backward Classes (OBC’s), Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribe (STs). He added that their rights should be provided based on their population.
Taking to Twitter, he wrote that out of 90 secretaries of the central government, only three are OBCs, who handle only 5 per cent of India’s budget. Therefore, it is important to know the caste statistics of India. He further mentioned that greater the population, the greater the rights and that it is their pledge.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said that the caste census results revealed the economic situation of the people belonging to different groups. He added that the census will help the government to take action in order to ascertain social justice and upliftment of all sections.
The Janata Dal (United) leader also called for an all-party meeting on Tuesday to share the details of Bihar caste census report and deliberate what further steps needed to be taken. Reports stated that nine parties are expected to participate in the meeting.

Meanwhile, Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh urged the centre to release the results of caste census. He added that holding caste-census has become essential for providing a firmer foundation for social empowerment programmes and for deepening social justice.
