A video of a Union Minister running is doing rounds on the internet.

In a viral video, Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi can be seen running towards her car avoiding questions by a reporter on the issue of wrestlers protest.

Lekhi was kept chasing by the media person asking her comments on the ongoing wrestlers protest.

First the Minister walked briskly and then started running towards her car with her security personnel around and fled the incident ignoring the question asked by the reporter.

The incident is reportedly moments before the protesting wrestlers gathered in Haridwar where the immersion of their medals was attempted, which was later prevented by farmer leader Naresh Tikait.

Meenakshi Lekhi is a Lok Sabha MP representing the Delhi constituency and is Union Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture.

The video has gathered various reactions along with criticism from users across the internet. In fact, opposition leaders could not have got a better opportunity to criticise this action by the Minister.

A user wrote that being a lady minister she is avoiding the questions concerned to the country’s female athletes and further slammed the BJP saying they will bring laurels in running from issues.

The Aam Aadmi Party also Tweeted through its official handle tagging Lekhi as shameless.

The Congress also took a jibe at the Minister sharing the video on Twitter.

A user shared a hilarious picture morphing the poster of the film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and changing it to Bhaag Lekhi Bhaag with her face on it.

The ace grapplers of India Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Sakshee Mallikh have been demanding action against Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh alleging sexual harassment of female athletes including some minor girls.

Singh on Wednesday challenged the wrestlers that if he is found guilty he will hang himself and asked them to produce evidence before the court.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi while speaking at an event in San Francisco, USA today, taking a swipe at the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) said the government tried to stop his Bharat Jodo Yatra and threatening people misuing agencies.

The Congress leader is on a 10-day tour to the US, who arrived in  San Francisco on Tuesday morning.

Gandhi said the Central government tried all the possible manners to stop his Bharat Jodo Yatra and targeting the BJP said it is threatening the people and misusing the government agencies, Gandhi said the BJP did not succeed in this and the impact of the Yatra increased.

He said the result behind such an impact of the Yatra was because every Indian has the idea of join India inside their hearts. He added that the Yatra was put into execution as all the instruments that they needed to connect to the masses were controlled by BJP and the RSS.

Gandhi further added saying the march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir had the spirit of affection, respect and humility, he said if one traces back to the history, he/she would learn that spiritual leaders like Guru Nanak Dev, Guru Basavanna ji, Narayana Guru ji united India in a similar manner.

Gandhi is expected to address public rallies, community events and meet with Indians abroad, community leaders, business leaders along with American lawmakers.

The former Congress chief will also interact with students at the Stanford University, San Francisco and will also hold interactions with Wall Street executives.

Gandhi was received by Congress overseas affairs head Sam Pitroda.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also scheduled for a visit to the US in June on a special invitation of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.

PM Modi will be hosted a state dinner by President Biden and his wife on June 22.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said his government, which completed nine years in office on May 30, will continue to take decisions to improve the lives of people like it had over the last nine years.

In a tweet, the PM said he was filled with humility and gratitude on the ninth anniversary of his government. He said he would continue to work harder towards the vision of a developed India.

The BJP has planned a special contact campaign across the country. The party said in a statement the country had seen unprecedented growth and development in every sector with the mantra of Nation First over the past nine years. It was due to the efforts of the government that the world was saying the 21st century belongs to India.

Comments on the tweet have not stopped coming in. One user said PM Modi’s vision had made India the fifth largest economy in the world. Many infrastructure projects had been pushed, toilet, gas and water connections were on the priority list of the Modi government. Article 370 had been revoked in Jammu & Kashmir and women had been empowered during the time.

Not to to be outdone, a critic of the government noted the Modi government had gifted India the highest unemployment rate, the highest cost of living and the highest debt. The user said women’s empowerment was hypocrisy as women wrestlers were being treated like criminals for protesting against the wrestling body chief, who continues to enjoy support of the Modi government.

But overall, the mood has been congratulatory with the odd critique here and there. On May 28, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the new Parliament building while the Opposition boycotted it. He described the new Parliament as a temple of democracy, felicitated some workers involved in its construction.

The real test of the Modi government will come next year when the country will vote in the next Lok Sabha.
