Rahul Gandhi thanks Sushma for recognising Cong govts’ vision

New Delhi, Sept 24: Congress on Sunday welcomed External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's “recognition” of the contribution of previous governments in the development of the nation and wanted her to hold a “history lesson” for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Sushma ji, thank you for finally recognising Congress governments' great vision and legacy of setting up IITs and IIMs,” Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi said on Twitter.

Earlier, Congress chief spokesman Randeep Singh Surjewala said Swaraj's speech at the United Nations General Assembly was a “befitting reply to those who ask what happened in the last 70 years.”

The leitmotif of Modi's speeches, since the campaign for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, has been “misrule” during 60 years of Congress rule. BJP President Amit Shah had in May this year claimed that the Modi government had done in three years what the Congress could not achieve in 70 years.

Stung by the repeated barbs, Congress leaders have time and again asserted its role in the development journey over the past 70 years.

“Sushma Swaraj mirrored the yeoman progress made by India under Congress rule, making 'inclusive growth & progress' as India's mantra,” Surjewala said.

The opposition party was unsparing in criticising Modi, who it claimed required some lessons in history.

“Sushma Swaraj is a well-read person. We are happy that she had some lessons for the prime minister. Had Modi read some history books, he would have known that IITs, IIMs, ISRO, Operation flood, Green Revolution are all contribution of the Congress-led government,” AICC spokesman Ajoy Kumar told reporters here.

Kumar said on her return to India from the United Nations should hold a history class for the prime minister to make him aware of the contribution of the Congress to the development of the country.

Surjewala also asked the Modi government to turn words against Pakistan into action. “Time to move words into action as Pakistan still receives $743 million annual US aid, collaborates with China on CPEC and buys arms from Russia,” he said.

Jammu, Jan 25: People in Jammu and Kashmir expressed happiness over the restoration of mobile data services and internet access through fixed-line across the Union Territory on Saturday.

Speaking to ANI Jitendra Sharma, a resident of Jammu said, "The government has taken a good decision. People had been facing hardship for a long period and I think it will improve further."

"It is a big relief to people. People can finish their pending work. I hope that 4G services will also be resumed soon," said a resident of Kashmir.

The internet speed is restricted to 2G only.

"Access shall be limited only to whitelisted sites and not to any social media applications allowing peer to peer communication and virtual private network applications. Directions shall be effective from January 25 and will remain in force till January 31," the statement by the government read.

Earlier on January 15, 2G services were reinstated in Jammu, Samba, Kathua, and Udhampur for white-listed sites.

The Central government had suspended the internet in the region following the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution on August 5 last year, which conferred special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, and its bifurcation into two Union Territories -- Ladakh, and Jammu and Kashmir.

New Delhi, Jul 11: Poll strategist Prashant Kishor took a swipe at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday, saying this is time to fight the coronavirus not elections and that he should not endanger people's lives in a "hurry" to hold the assembly polls.

"The coronavirus situation in Bihar is worsening like it is in many other states of the country. But a big part of government machinery and resources are busy making preparation for the polls.

"Nitish Kumar ji, this isn't time to fight elections but the coronavirus. Don't endanger people's lives in this hurry to hold the polls," he tweeted.

Kishor, once a confidant of the JD(U) president before he turned a critic and was expelled from the party, joins leaders like LJP chief Chirag Paswan and RJD's Tejashwi Yadav in suggesting that the Bihar assembly polls should be deferred due to the pandemic.

Polls in Bihar are due in October-November but the Election Commission has so far not made any official announcement about its schedule.

The BJP and the JD(U) have been holding organisational meetings and said that they are ready for the elections.
