Country Has Made Up Its Mind That PM Modi Will Be At Helm For 3rd Term: Shah At BJP Meet

New Delhi, Feb 18: Home Minister Amit Shah claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is leading the BJP-led camp working for the country's development while the Congress-led "INDI alliance" is full of family-run parties and corruption, drawing comparisons between the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and the Mahabharata war. Shah attacked the opposition INDIA alliance for promoting dynastic and appeasement politics in his speech at the BJP's national convention held here.He was discussing the resolution "BJP: Desh ki aasha, vipaksha ki hatasha" (BJP: Hope for the country, despair for the opposition). In reference to the second, third, and fourth generations of families controlling these parties, he claimed that the opposition is full of "2G, 3G, and 4G" parties. He claimed that the prime minister had improved the nation's standing internationally and strived to advance all facets of society. There's no question in the public's mind, according to Shah, that the prime minister will serve a third term.He remarked, citing Sonia Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, Lalu Prasad, M K Stalin, and others, that whereas PM Modi considers the underprivileged and the nation's progress, the leaders of the INDIA alliance consider appointing their offspring to the positions of prime minister and chief government. He stated this amid cheers for Modi at the meeting. "All the family princes" have united against Modi because they believe that only a member of a strong family can hold the top job."There are family-run parties on the one hand, and the son of a poor mother on the other," he remarked. According to him, the administration has tried to improve the living conditions of 60 crore impoverished people who previously felt excluded from the development process. He claimed that the opposition parties were in a state of denial and that they opposed everything for the sake of opposing it, including the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, the repeal of Article 370, the prohibition on triple talaq, and the development of a new Parliament building. He claimed that because of its appeasement tactics, the Congress had declined the invitation to the dedication ceremony of the Ram temple.He claimed that the son of a tea vendor would not have been prime minister of the nation if the BJP did not practise family-run politics.

Those who lure boys into militancy are real culprits: DGP

SRINAGAR: According to Director General of Police (DGP) RR Swain, the young boys are the victims and the true offenders are those who entice them to become militants. On the fringes of the Public Darbar in Baramulla, Swain said reporters that they wanted young people to protect themselves from drugs and militancy. "The Imams of the Masjids and the Civil Society are accountable. We consider those who support terrorism as our victims; the true offenders are those who provide them money, arms, and deceive them," he declared.According to the DGP, he has repeatedly stated that the small child who picked up the rifle without having any facial hair is a victim. "The one who gives this young lad the pistol and the money is the one who is really at fault. "We intend to pursue those who deceive these impressionable minds," he continued. According to Swain, the Police are coming up with a novel plan to eradicate this epidemic. "As you can see, we have a plan in place to make sure that no young person in J&K joins the terrorist organisation. To ensure the plan's success, we are in contact with Masjid leaders, educators, parents, and members of civic society," the DGP stated.He described the phenomenon of narco-terrorism as a significant concern, noting that while therapy for victims was formerly thought to be necessary, it has recently become apparent that addicts also act as peddlers. "Our goal is to apprehend the large fish that feed drugs to drug addicts. Regarding the desire for more drug treatment facilities, the DGP stated, "We will meet with the Chief Secretary and the Secretary of Health and Medical Education to present our proposal for the establishment of additional drug treatment facilities. Regarding the public darbars, he noted that people's concerns vary widely, including land disputes, police investigation delays, and questions about previous inquiries, even among those connected to the police family. "I'm taking care of Police Headquarters-related issues right away. It takes some time to handle cases involving ongoing investigations, he said. In response to a question concerning how frequently public darbars should occur and how many cops should participate, the DGP stated that many officers are progressively becoming public darbars in order to resolve concerns pertaining to individuals. "I agree that the frequency of public darbars need to be increased," he stated.
