INDORE, Dec 25: The respect and empowerment of the underprivileged and impoverished segments of society is the government's top priority, according to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday. He added that during the BJP's "double-engine" government (at the centre and in Madhya Pradesh), thousands of crores of rupees had been invested in the area around Indore. Modi stated this will result in thousands of job opportunities while speaking via video link at a programme held to distribute debts totaling Rs 224 crore that belonged to employees of the Hukumchand Mill in the city of Indore, Madhya Pradesh. He said at the "Mazdooron ka Hit, Mazdooron ko Samarpit" programme that the decision will help over 4,800 labourers.The PM expressed his gratitude to the state government for finally resolving the long-standing issue and said he was fortunate to be present. According to him, the Madhya Pradesh government has made great progress in improving the lives of the underprivileged. As I've always stated, the poor, young, women, and farmers make up the largest four castes in my opinion. Respecting and empowering the underprivileged is our top priority, he declared. Modi went on to say that the "double-engine" government and the people of the state will benefit from receiving the blessings of labourers on Good Governance Day, which is observed on the anniversary of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's birth. Following the closure of the Hukumchand Mill in Indore in 1992 and its liquidation, the workers engaged in a protracted legal battle to recover their dues. The state Housing & Infrastructure Development Board and labour unions signed a settlement agreement on the Madhya Pradesh government's initiative, and on December 20, the settlement money was deposited in the high court, according to officials earlier. According to what Modi has been told, there was a festive mood in Indore when the package for the workers at Hukumchand Mill was announced.

It is the result of many years of their dreams and resolutions. I firmly believe that the families of…

NOV 28, 2023 :During a visit to a gurdwara in New York over the weekend, India's ambassador to the US, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, was heckled. An American Sikh body has denounced this behaviour and called on the shrine's administration to take firm measures against those responsible. Sikhs of America said in a statement released on Monday that gurdwaras are houses of worship and shouldn't be associated with any particular political viewpoint. On the occasion of Gurpurab, Sandhu prayed on Sunday at the Hicksville gurdwara in Long Island, New York. Videos of the incident that are making the rounds on social media show him being heckled and asked questions about Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was killed in Canada in June of this year, by a group of supporters of the movement, at the gurdwara. Members of the Sikh community escorted the hecklers out. President Kanwaljit Singh Soni and founder Jasdip Singh Jassee of Sikhs of America issued a joint statement saying, "We urge the management of the Gurdwara Sahib to take strict actions against these miscreants so that peace-loving Sikh Community in New York can come to gurdwaras freely without any fear or pressure." "When Ambassador Sandhu visited the Gurdwara Sahib for prayer, the administration gave him a Saropa Sahib in recognition of his visit. Following that, a few miscreants attempted to offend him and disrupt the sacredness and tranquilly of the Gurdwara Sahib. According to the statement, gurdwaras are houses of worship and shouldn't be associated with any particular political ideology."Sikhs of America, the leading Sikh organisation in the USA, strongly condemns the disrespect of a Sikh devotee, Ambassador of India to USA Taranjit Singh Sandhu in a Gurdwara in Long Island, NY yesterday," it read. Despite the impression that Khalistanis were against Sandhu, he was welcomed with open arms at the Gurdwara in Hicksville. During his address, Sandhu—who was joined by the consul general of India in New York, Randhir Jaiswal, and the deputy consul general, Varun Jeph—highlighted the expansion of the alliance between the US and India in the fields of healthcare, energy, IT, new and developing technologies, semiconductors, and education.
