PUNE: Mohan Bhagwat, the president of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), referred to the consecration of Ram Lalla's idol at the Ayodhya temple on January 22 as a brave act that was made possible by God's will and blessings on Monday. Speaking at the Gita Bhakti Amrit Mahotsav at Alandi, in the Pune region of Maharashtra, Bhagwat added that Bharat must rise to its responsibilities and that the world will face destruction very soon if it does not become "samarth" (able). After much fighting, he said that "Ram Lalla arrived on January 22" and that it was a brave deed."It is a blessing for the present generation to have Ram Lalla in his place. It's actually happened, he remarked, not only because everyone worked for it but also because of God's blessings and desire. Bhagwat added that he felt lucky to be there for the ceremony. He asserted that Bharatvarsh must ascend since the world requires it. "The world will have to confront destruction very soon if Bharat fails to develop or become capable. This is the typical state of affairs. Global intellectuals are aware of this. On this, they are writing and saying," he remarked. Bhagwat continued, "Bharat has to rise to deliver its duty." Spiritual leader Shri Govind Dev Giriji Maharaj is celebrating his 75th birthday with a major event known as the Gita Bhakti Amrit Mahotsav, which is organised by Geeta Pariwar.

As of yet, no group has taken ownership of the assault. District Police Officer Nasir Mehmood stated, "We lost ten of our jawans, while six others were injured in the ambush carried out by heavily armed terrorists."With grenades and heavy gunfire, the terrorists stormed the police station from all sides. According to police, the terrorists were able to flee despite the police's retaliatory actions. The quick response force has arrived with extra force, they claimed, and the forces have sealed off the area and begun a search operation. The attack raised additional security concerns for the general elections in the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, which have already seen terror attacks and violence during polling. Arshad Hussain, the caretaker chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,meanwhile, denounced the attack on the police station and offered his sympathies to the victims' families. Such cowardice cannot weaken the commitment of law enforcement to combat terrorists, he said.

New Delhi, Feb 5: The Election Commission requested on Monday that political parties refrain from using minors in any way during the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections, including through the distribution of flyers and brochures or sloganeering. The poll panel expressed its "zero tolerance" for parties and candidates using minors in any way throughout the election process in a letter to the parties. According to the poll watchdog, political figures and candidates should refrain from using kids in any way when running for office, including holding them in their arms, transporting them in cars, or using them at rallies.This ban includes using kids to pretend to be in a political campaign in any way, such as through spoken words, poetry, music, or the exhibition of a political party or candidate's emblem, the EC stated in a statement. It stated, however, that the simple fact that a child is with their parent or guardian while they are near a political figure who is not engaged in any political party election campaigns will not be seen as a breach of the rules. In light of the upcoming parliamentary elections, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar has repeatedly underlined the critical role that political parties play as the EC's primary stakeholders and urged them to actively participate in defending democratic norms.
