People from PoK to hold conference in Geneva: Ajatshatru

JAMMU: The grandson of the last Dogra ruler, Maharaja Hari Singh, BJP leader Ajatshatru Singh, said on Saturday that people from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) will hold a conference in Geneva in March to highlight their plight. On his return from London, where he celebrated Jammu and Kashmir's accession day as a special invitee to the UK Parliament's House of Commons on October 26, he told reporters that he met a large number of people from PoK. Ajatshatru Singh stated that the PoK delegates he met in London were mostly "living on foreign soil" and were optimistic about the upcoming conference's outcome."They (people from PoK) are holding a major conference in March in Geneva, where the UN office is located, to inform the world community about their sufferings...," he went on to say. During the accession day celebrations, he said, a roundtable conference was held, and the participants agreed that Jammu and Kashmir's accession to India was complete and final. "Kashmiri Pandits were also part of the programme and a book on their migration from the Kashmir Valley over 30 years ago was also released," said Ajatshatru Singh

“Teen Tigaada-Kaam Bigaada”: Shah takes swipe at Congress in poll-bound MP

Dhar (Madhya Pradesh): Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a stinging attack on the Congress in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh on Saturday, saying the grand old party will impose a 'Teen Tigaada-Kaam Bigaada' (too many cooks playing spoiler) government on the people if elected. On Saturday, Shah told a rally in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, "Theirs would be a 'Teen-Tigada, Kaam Bigada' government." The Gandhi family will issue the orders, (Congress state president) Kamal Nath will issue the instructions, and Digvijay Singh will be made the fall guy. When the Congress ruled the country and the states, particularly under (former Prime Minister) Manmohan Singh, who took his orders from Sonia Gandhi, Pakistan inflicted severe damage on the country by unleashing terror on unarmed civilians whenever they pleased. Terrorists from across the border struck again in Uri and Pulwama (in Jammu and Kashmir) shortly after we formed the government (in 2014). However, this time, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, we crossed into Pakistan and attacked them in their own backyard." Also accusing the Congress of putting the family's interests ahead of those of the country and the party, the BJP stalwart stated that Sonia wants Rahul Gandhi to be Prime Minister in 2024. "In order to secure the country's borders and root out terror from across the border, Modi-ji must be reinstated as Prime Minister." The Congress is a family-oriented political party. "Kamal Nath wants to make Nakul Nath the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, and Sonia Gandhi wants to make Rahul the Prime Minister," Shah added. Also accusing the grand old party of putting the proposed Ram Temple in Ayodhya on hold, Shah stated that if re-elected, the BJP will take everyone in the state on a turn-by-turn tour of the shrine. "This year, Madhya Pradesh is planning to celebrate Diwali three times." The first will be celebrated tomorrow, the second on December 3, after the BJP forms the government here, and the third on January 22, when the Ram Temple in Ayodhya is consecrated and Ram Lalla ascends to the throne. During their tenure, Congress put the Ram Temple project on ice. The temple is now nearing completion, and Modi-ji plans to open it to devotees next year. "Once we regain power here, we will arrange for everyone to visit Ayodhya," he said. Invoking the repeal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, which stripped the state of its special privileges, Shah stated, "When I stood up to table the Kashmir Bill in Parliament, Rahul Baba said, 'don't remove Article 37 as it will spark nationwide uproar." In Kashmir today, no one dares to even light a fire. Modi-ji worked to protect the country from infiltration. The NIA recently conducted raids to prevent Rohingyas from illegally settling in India. PFI (People's Front of India) was also banned under Modi-ji's leadership. In addition, by repealing Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, the Valley became ours for good."The Union Home Minister also credited PM Modi with reviving cultural centres that had fallen into disuse under previous regimes at the Centre, saying, "While Modi-ji took the lead in reviving several cultural centres in the country, the Congress opposed naming a Metro (network) after Raja Bhoj." We are also building a Sant Ravidas temple in Sagar." [caption id="attachment_5438" align="alignnone" width="300"] "Teen Tigaada-Kaam Bigaada": Shah takes…
