New Delhi, Nov 4: Indefinite hunger strike by Sant Gopal Das--a disciple of late Prof G D Agrawal (Swami Gyan Swaroop Sanand)-, for clean and richly flow in entire course of the Ganga continued in Haridwar on the 134th day on Sunday.

The young saint-on fast since June 24, in support of the Ganga crusade launched by late IIT professor turned saint-, was yet again on Saturday shifted from AIIMS Rishikesh to Jolleygrant Hospital in Haridwar reportedly in view of the President's visit.

Another young disciple of the Matrisadan ashram, Kankhal, Brahmachari Atmabodhanand Saraswati has also been observing hunger fast since October 24 expressing solidarity with Sant Gopal Das and the ongoing stir, ashram's spokesman Brahmachari Dayanand told UNI over telephone.

This time they have shifted him from Rishikesh to Haridwar reportedly in view of the President's visit on Saturday, he said quoting some cops.

He said "Santji has refused to take treatment, we even don't know whether they(authorities) are giving him any treatment except forced feeding that too in a whimsical manner, as and when they wish to."

Meanwhile, a Ganga Sadbhawana Yatra is also being carried out that is scheduled to reach Varanasi on November 25.

'His father dropped bombs in India,' says Digvijaya on Padmi Shri given to Adnan Sami

News Network

February 3,2020

Indore, Feb 3: Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Sunday attacked the Centre for conferring the Padma Shri on Pakistan-origin singer Adnan Sami, who became an Indian citizen in 2016.

Addressing "Save the Constitution, Save the Country" rally here in Madhya Pradesh, Singh said Sami's father had "pounded India with bombs" when he was serving with the Pakistani Air Force (PAF).

"Since Sami is an artist who has come from Pakistan, I had recommended his case to the Indian government for citizenship. He has got Indian citizenship under the Modi government," the Congress leader said, adding that he never made any recommendation to the government for conferring Padma Shri on Sami.

He said Sami's father had "dropped bombs against us" while flying a Pakistan Air Force combat plane.

"In contrast, Indian Army officer Sanaullah of Assam, who had fought against the enemy, was sent to a detention camp for failing to show documents (during the Assam NRC exercise). This is the citizenship law of the Modi government," he said.

Sami, born in London to a Pakistani Air force veteran, applied for Indian citizenship in 2015 and became a citizen of the country in January 2016.

He was one of the 118 people chosen for the Padma Shri awards by the Centre last month.

Nowadays, Modi is uttering Pakistan even in his dream, while putting the India & Indians on the fence.

BSF Officer Sanaullah was deprived of his basic rights and put in the detention center while Adnan Sami was granted citizenship and conferred with prestigious "Padma Shri" Award. Really, Modi & Amit Shah duos doesn't know what they are doing in India.....what a bizzare!!!

Nowadays, Modi is uttering Pakistan even in his dream, while putting the India & Indians on the fence.
