Unemployment, Rising Prices Behind Parliament Security Breach: Rahul

editor December 16, 2023

NEW DELHI, Dec 16: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, said on Saturday that the December 13 Parliament security breach was caused by increased costs and unemployment. After meeting with leaders of the Congress' Gujarat unit in New Delhi to prepare for the poll, Gandhi told reporters that although there was a security breach in Parliament, young people were not getting jobs because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies. "In Parliament, there has been a security breach. However, why did it occur?" he enquired. "The largest problem facing the nation is unemployment, which is raging throughout the entire nation. The youth of the nation are not finding work as a result of Modi ji's policies, he claimed.On the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack, two men broke through security measures on Wednesday by jumping into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour. They shouted slogans and let off yellow smoke from canisters before being overpowered by the MPs. Gandhi added, "The breach has occurred (in Parliament), but the cause is price increases and unemployment." Manoranjan D and Sagar Sharma were the two men who had leaped into the Lok Sabha's chamber. Simultaneously, two other people, Amol Shinde and Neelam Devi, shouted "tanashahi nahi chalegi" outside the Parliament premises and let off coloured smoke from canisters.The fifth defendant, Lalit Jha, is accused of posting videos of the protest outside the complex on social media. Every single one of the five is in custody. The opposition has been pressuring the government for an explanation of the security breech and has called for Union Home Minister Amit Shah to address the matter in Parliament. In an effort to push for the demand, they have also been interfering with both Houses' operations.

POONCH: Under section 68-F of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1985, J&K Police has attached a residential house, JCB, and tractor in Degwar, Terwan area near LoC in Poonch district. During a press conference, SSP Poonch Vinay Sharma stated that a residential house belonging to Shakar Din, son of Noor Din, who lives in Degwar Terwan in Tehsil Haveli in Poonch, was constructed on land bearing khasra number 400. This house was attached in a case under FIR number 42/2023 Under Sections 8/21/22/25/27A/29/60 NDPS Act. Additionally, JCB 3DX, registered under the number JK12B-6168, and a Mahindra Tractor, registered under the number JK12C 4438, belonging to Mohd Yaseen, son of Saif Din, who lives in Degwar Terwan, were attached via FIR number 77/2023 Under Sections 8/21/22/29 NDPS Act, 13/18 UAPA Act, and 4/5 Explosives Act.It is important to note that the J&K Police attached the residential house and the JCB tractor in the presence of the Executive Magistrates, Tehsildar Haveli Anjum Bashir Khatak and Naib Tehsildar Haveli Maroof Khan. The Senior Superintendent of Police went on to say that we have begun to freeze the properties of drug dealers and peddlers. This is our first instance of doing so in Poonch, where we have attached a residential house, JCB, and tractor valued at Rs 87.86 lakh in the Degwar-Terwan area of Poonch. A few days prior, we had attached a double-story residential house, two personnel vehicles, an ALto, and a Tata Mobile in Surankote. He stated that more properties have been identified in these cases and that Poonch police will continue to take action against drug dealers and peddlers. This year, they have filed 47 First Information Reports under the NDPS Act, arrested 83 people, and recovered 87 kg of heroin. As far as property seizures are concerned, we've seen that apprehending drug dealers or peddlers is insufficient. We therefore began attaching their properties, for which they carry out this kind of labour. We retrieved 24 kg of heroin and 15 lakh in cash from the two property owners who are currently facing legal action. This is comparable to the Mendhar case, where major drug dealers were involved, and it also answers the question of why real mafias avoid the police's grasp," the speaker continued.
