NEW DELHI: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, claimed on Friday that the government had silenced the voices of the people in their constituencies by suspending almost 150 opposition MPs from Parliament. The Congress leader cornered the Centre over "unemployment" while speaking at the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc protest here at Jantar Mantar against the mass suspension of opposition MPs. He claimed that earlier this month, the two young people who were unemployed and carrying smoke canisters jumped into the Lok Sabha. "We all witnessed two to three young people jump into the Parliament House a few days ago, and they proceeded inside to spread smoke." Each and every BJP MP fled. Initially, how did those individuals enter the Parliament building? They carried petrol cylinders inside. They could have brought anything if they could have brought that. The reason behind their protest is the second query. This was caused by unemployment. The nation is experiencing extreme unemployment. Today's youth in this nation cannot find work," he declared. On the anniversary of the terror attack on Parliament in 2001, there was a security breach. During Zero Hour, two individuals, Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D, leaped from the public gallery into the Lok Sabha chamber, unleashed yellow gas from canisters and yelled anti-establishment slogans before being overpowered by the MPs.The security lapse case, which has dominated national political discourse ever since, resulted in the suspension of 146 Members of Parliament from the Winter Session of Parliament, which has been adjourned sine die, for causing a disturbance and interfering with the work of both Houses. Union Minister Amit Shah was being pressed by opposition lawmakers for a statement regarding the incident involving the breach of Parliament's security. The Congress leader continued by saying that a survey found that young people use social media apps for 7.30 hours every day. Rahul stated that in order to determine how many hours a day the nation's youth spend using their phones or social media, he hired surveyors to carry out a brief survey."After the survey, I was shocked to learn that youth spend 7.30 hours a day on social media apps," said Gandhi. In response to the mimicry controversy in the Rajya Sabha involving Jagdeep Dhankhar, he stated that Rahul Gandhi was filming the act and that the media didn't question the suspension of nearly 150 MPs. "The media claims that Rahul Gandhi recorded the video (of mimicry) while MPs were seated outside the Parliament. "Why and how 150 MPs were suspended is a question the media did not ask," he said. "These 150 individuals represent the voice of the Indian people; they are more than just individual people.You have not offended 150 people; rather, you have silenced 60% of India's population. Each member of parliament contributes lakhs of votes," he continued. Shashi Tharoor, a different Congress MP, stated that the demonstration at Jantar Mantar, which was organised under the banner "Save Democracy," was intended to convey to the public that the current state of affairs is "wrong for the future of the country."

Kurukshetra (Haryana), Dec 22: The Bhagavad Gita's teachings ought to be spread throughout India and the rest of the world, according to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's statement on Friday.

The Bhagavad Gita's teachings ought to be spread throughout India and the rest of the world. Since 2016, the Mahotsav has been an enormous success.

Starting on December 7 and ending on December 24, the event will take place. People experience a moral and cultural upsurge when they celebrate Gita Mahotsav.

Since 1989, the Haryana government has collaborated with the Kurukshetra Development Board to celebrate the Gita Mahotsav festival in Kurukshetra.In early 2016, the Haryana government decided to celebrate Gita Jayanti as an International Gita Mahotsav. Over two million people travelled to Kurukshetra, marking a significant milestone in the city's history of Gita Jayanti celebrations. Kurukshetra once more hosted the International Gita Mahotsav festival in the years 2017, 2018, and 2019.

According to officials, Lt Gen Sandeep Jain, the General Officer Commanding (GoC) of the XVI Corps, visited the area and met with senior army and police officers to assess the situation. White Knight Corps, or XVI corps, posted on X, saying, "Indian Army and White Knight Corps salutes the bravery and supreme sacrifice of four soldiers in Surankote on yesterday while fighting the scourge of terrorism". According to an official, sniffer dogs have been deployed to locate the terrorists who ambushed two Army vehicles in the area on Thursday afternoon, and helicopters are also being used for aerial monitoring. "A massive cordon and search operation has begun this morning after a night cordon in area," a police officer stated. The surgery was still ongoing. He said that more troops have been brought into the area in an effort to find the terrorists responsible for the gunfire. At approximately 3:45 p.m. on Thursday, two army vehicles transporting personnel to the location of a cordon-and-search operation were ambushed at a blind curve in Dhatyar Morh, which is under the Surankote police station's jurisdiction and connects Dhera Ki Gali and Bufliaz.According to the officer who was cited earlier, traffic has been stopped on Dhera Ki Gali (DKG) Road.

According to security officials, an investigation into the location is being conducted to determine the pattern and application of weapons, such as steel core bullets, in the ambush. On Friday, security experts expressed concern over the increasing number of terror incidents in the Rajouri-Poonch area. "There is cause for concern. In the past two months, there have been two incidents. Until recently, this area was peaceful. Here, 35 soldiers have lost their lives in the last two years. Why is that taking place? Why have extremists gained such confidence?" stated Col. S. S. Pathania, a defence expert. According to security expert Captain (retd) Anil Gaur, Pakistan is manipulating these incidents in an attempt to resurrect terrorism in this area. "There are some issues with the way we are handling terrorism. It's time to bolster the region's intelligence and security infrastructure and eradicate all terrorists operating in challenging areas. Caves exist," he declared. A number of organisations, including the Jammu Statehood Organisation, staged anti-Pakistan demonstrations in Jammu and set fire to a Pakistani effigy.
