Owaisi hits out at PM Modi over ‘assumption based data’ on job creation

New Delhi, Aug 12: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's data on job creation in the country as "assumption based".

Speaking to ANI, Owaisi said that the Prime Minister and his government are well aware of the fact that they failed in their promise to provide jobs. "The government has failed to provide jobs to the youth, and they have to bear the consequences of the same in the upcoming elections," Owaisi further accused Prime Minister Modi of having failed to fulfill the promises made during the 2014 general elections.

Owaisi's remark came after Prime Minister Modi on Saturday dispelled the Opposition's allegations about lack of job growth, saying India is among the major economies of the world. In an exclusive interview to ANI, Prime Minister Modi said, "When the economy is growing at a faster pace, in fact, fastest among the major economies, how will the job market not expand?"

Prime Minister Modi had further added, "Employment generation is also evident from 45 lakh new Subscribers in the Employee Provident Fund and 5.68 lakh people joining the New Pension Scheme in the last nine months. All this has led to creation of more than one crore jobs, only in the last year. Thus, the campaign that jobs have not been created must come to a halt now. People are not going to buy it anymore."

On the Prime Minister's statement on Assam's National Register of Citizens (NRC) draft, Owaisi asserted that "The BJP president refers to people as intruders, and the Prime Minister said that no Indian citizen will be made to leave the country over the NRC list. Their only motive is to create hatred."

Communist Party of India (CPI) leader D Raja criticised the Prime Minister on his statement on mob lynching where he said that the Opposition should not politicise the matter and ensure that the society remained integrated. The CPI leader while speaking to ANI said that instead of preaching, the Prime Minister should take some action in this regard.

"If Prime minister is really concerned about mob lynching he should ask the state government to take action on the same. This is not the time to listen to the preaching of the prime minister; we want him to act,' Raja said.

Walking from Delhi to MP, man dies in Agra amid lockdown

Agencies

March 29,2020

Agra, Mar 29: A 39-year-old man, who had walked almost 200 kilometers from Delhi to reach his home in Morena in Madhya Pradesh, collapsed and died in Agra on Saturday.

The man, identified as Ranveer Singh, worked as home delivery boy for a private restaurant in the national capital.

According to police, the victim collapsed near Kailash turning of the national highway-2, after which a local hardware store owner Sanjay Gupta rushed to the victim.

Sikandra station house officer (SHO) Arvind Kumar, said, 'Gupta made the victim lie on a carpet and offered tea and biscuit. The victim complained about chest pain and also called his brother-in-law Arvind Singh over phone to share his health condition. At around 6.30 P.m, the victim passed away and local police was informed. "

Ranveer had left for his native village on Friday morning on foot. It is likely that exhaustion of 200-km walk might have caused chest pain.

The SHO said,"On the entire NH-2 stretch, UP policemen are present with food packets and water for such persons but Ranveer's death is unfortunate. "

After the death, policemen took the victim's body for post-mortem. The autopsy report is yet to be re eased.

According to information available, Ranveer was working in Delhi's Tughlakabad for the past three- years. He is survived by three children including two daughters. He belongs to a family of farmers and was the main bread winner for his family.

His family has been brought to Agra to take the body back to their village for the last rites.
