Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 7: Violence in Kerala raged in on Monday, the fifth day of the clashes during which over 6,000 people have been arrested for their role in protests following the entry of women into the Sabarimala temple.

Police sources said, "About 2,182 cases were registered in connection with the crimes in which 894 were remanded and 5,817 released on bail."

Kerala witnessed several violent incidents after two women entered restricted sanctum sanctorum on Wednesday after Supreme Court's verdict on Sep 28, allowing the entry of women of all ages into the religious shrine.

In many districts including Kannur, clashes between CPI(M) and BJP workers continued as police planned to take more people into preventive custody.

The Sabarimala Karma Samiti has also pledged to intensify its protest against the breaking of age-old customs and traditions in the 12th century temple.

Why bjp is misuing Shivaji.   For your information, Shivaji was not communal.   His personal body guard was a Muslim and there wwere many muslim commanders in his army.   All were living peacefully in his regime as he never differentiated between religions.  It is fact that he fought with Mughal.   this does not mean that he was anti muslim.   IN those days, kings fought with neighbours to expand their kingdom.   BJP is misguiding Marathas by using Shivaji picture but not followig his footstep.

New Delhi, Jul 25: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday accused the government of benefitting by making profits during the coronavirus-induced lockdown when people were in trouble.

He tagged a news report that claimed the Indian Railways was making profit by running 'Shramik trains' for transporting migrants during the pandemic.

"There are clouds of disease and people are in trouble, but one seeks to benefit -- this anti-people government is converting a disaster into profits and is earning," he said in a tweet in Hindi.

The news report claimed that the railways made a profit of Rs 428 crore by running Shramik special trains during the lockdown that transported migrants to their native places.

In another tweet, he lauded the efforts of the Himachal government in conducting a survey to select 'one district, one product', saying he had suggested this sometime back.

"This is a good idea. I had suggested it some time back. Its implementation will need a complete change of mindset," he said on Twitter.

He also tagged a report that stated the state Industries Department is conducting a baseline survey in all districts to select one district, one product for centrally-sponsored Micro and Small Enterprises Cluster Development Programme (MSE-CDP).

Mumbai, Jan 30: Speaking at an event, Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Abu Azmi's son and businessman, Farhan Azmi said that if CM Uddhav Thackeray will build lord Ram's Temple at Ayodhya then he will build Babri Masjid there. He said, "My problem is with Uddhav Thackeray.

I respect him a lot and if in Shiv Sena somebody really deserves respect, then it is no other than Uddhav Thackeray. He never runs a government and I don't think he is running his party correctly.

If being the Chief Minister, Uddhav Thackeray says he is going to Ayodhya on 7th March, I will also go with him. He will build lord Ram's Temple and we will build Babri Masjid."
