“Does Ram belong to Hindus, BJP, RSS only?” Farooq Abdullah

MUMBAI: Prior to Jammu & Kashmir Farooq Abdullah, a member of parliament (MP) and chief minister, questioned whether Lord Ram is limited to a single temple and is only associated with Hindus on Sunday regarding the Pran Pratishtha ritual at the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Speaking at an event celebrating the birth anniversary of Madhu Dandavate, Abdullah voiced his worry that Hindus, who make up seventy percent of India's population, are being led to feel as though they are in danger. Is Ram the god of the BJP, the RSS, and just Hindus? Is Ram found exclusively in Ayodhya? And do you need an invitation to go there? All people belong to Lord Ram. Everywhere you look, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, you may find Ram temples.We are unable to acknowledge Lord Ram, even though he is present in every particle of our hearts," he remarked. The J-K CM went on to say that there wouldn't have been hostility if people had acknowledged Lord Ram. "Hatred would not have existed if we had recognised. "Ram Raj" is Mahatma Gandhi's term for equality. Are the seventy percent of Hindus in our nation in danger? However, it was implied that they were in danger," he continued. On January 22, Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to perform the 'Pran Pratishtha' of the new Ram Lalla idol. Inside the temple's sanctum santorum is the idol of Lord Ram in his child form, created by Mysuru sculptor Arun Yogiraj. However, Farooq Abdullah claimed that the nation "failed to make the Election Commission independent" when discussing the electronic voting machine (EVM). "I was the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir when this voting machine (EVM) was introduced, and we in the cabinet had inquired as to whether 'chori' could be done with this machine. And they replied, "Yes, it is possible." So why was this machine needed to be brought? We are to blame for this. Who will hear us when we yell, "Machine chor hai," today? He continued, "We neglected to make the Election Commission independent when we ought to have."

Creativity, Sensitivity Make A Person Relevant In Age Of Machines & AI: Rajnath

New Delhi, Jan 20: According to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, in the current era of computers and artificial intelligence, a person's employability would be determined by their inventiveness, interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, and sensitivity. Speaking to the cadets on Saturday during his visit to the Republic Day Camp at Delhi Cantt, the Minister of Defence expressed gratitude to the NCC for providing the cadets with these skills and making sure they are developed holistically to be future leaders of the country.According to an official statement, Rajnath shared his thoughts on the emergence of artificial intelligence in the current technologically advanced world and predicted that as time goes on and improvements continue, people would start concentrating more on pursuing careers in fields where machines are unable to perform required duties. He emphasised, however, that although machines could carry out mental and physical duties, they are not capable of creativity, consciousness, or social development like humans. He made the argument that the NCC is essential in this situation.The Minister stated, "The NCC is guaranteeing the overall growth of cadets via its numerous projects and programmes by strengthening their social skills, imparting a sense of patriotism and national pride, and building their physical, mental, and emotional strength. It is crucial that the cadets absorb these traits in addition to their academics. This will enable them to fully contribute to the nation's advancement. Singh awarded the NCC cadets Commendation Cards and the Raksha Mantri Padak on this special occasion in recognition of their outstanding work and commitment to duty.Senior Under Officer Makkatira Kalpana Kuttappa of the Karnataka & Goa Directorate and Junior Under Officer Dechen Chuskit of the Jammu Kashmir & Ladakh Directorate received the Raksha Mantri Padaks this year. Under Officer Amar Morang of the North Eastern Region Directorate and Senior Under Officer Jyotirmaya Singh Chauhan of the Uttar Pradesh Directorate received their Raksha Mantri Commendation Cards. The Raksha Mantri had earlier inspected an outstanding "Guard of Honour" that the NCC cadets from the Army, Navy, and Air Force had presented. On this occasion, prominent NCC and Ministry of Defence officials were in attendance, including DG NCC Lt Gen Gurbirpal Singh.
