Patna, Mar 26: Supporters of two BJP MPs - Ravi Shankar Prasad and RK Sinha - clashed with each other at Patna’s Jayaprakash Narayan International Airport on Tuesday. Both Prasad and Sinha are Rajya Sabha members and had flown down to Patna from New Delhi.

Prasad, who is a four-term Rajya Sabha member and also Union Minister for Law and IT, has been given Lok Sabha ticket from Patna Sahib constituency as a BJP candidate. He will be pitted against the incumbent BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha. RK Sinha, an old RSS hand and Rajya Sabha member, was also a strong claimant for the BJP ticket from Patna Sahib and had even started poll preparedness in anticipation of his ticket.

“The whole fracas at Patna airport started when angry supporters of RK Sinha showed black flags to Prasad,” an airport source told Deccan Herald. The supporters of Union Minister initially tried to stop the agitators from showing dissent. But when they continued with their protest, Prasad’s men reportedly roughed them up. In return, Sinha’s supporters too thrashed some of Prasad’s workers.

In the melee, the airport campus became a battlefield with both sides indulging in fisticuffs. Cops were rushed in to restore normalcy.

Incidentally, both Prasad and Sinha belong to the upper caste Kayastha community and had, therefore, sought parliamentary poll ticket from Kayastha-dominated Patna Sahib constituency. Interestingly, the present BJP MP, Shatrughan Sinha, who is all set to join Congress and contest from this seat as Mahagatbandhan candidate, is also a Kayastha and had won from here in 2009 as well as 2014.

Jaipur, Jan 26: Rajasthan on Saturday on Saturday became the third state in the country to pass a resolution urging the Centre to repeal the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

he resolution was passed in the state Assembly amid opposition by the BJP which accused the ruling Congress of pursuing appeasement politics.

It is the second Congress-ruled state to pass such a resolution after Punjab. The Kerala Assembly too had passed such a resolution against the CAA moved jointly by the ruling Left Front alliance and the opposition Congress-led UDF.

The Rajasthan Assembly resolution, passed by voice vote, also asked the Centre to withdraw the new fields of information that have been sought for updation of the National Population Register (NPR) 2020.

"It is evident that the CAA violates the provisions of the Constitution. Therefore, the House resolves to urge upon the government of India to repeal the CAA to avoid any discrimination on the basis of religion in granting citizenship and to ensure equality before law for all religious groups of India," the state's parliamentary affairs minister Shanti Dhariwal said, moving the resolution.

Leader of the opposition Gulab Chand Kataria of the BJP questioned the state's right to challenge the Act.

"Granting citizenship is a matter for the Centre. In such a situation do we have the right to challenge the CAA? The Congress should stop doing appeasement and vote bank politics," he said.

Salute to Rajasthan Govt for rejecting communal and black CAA bill.   This bill is agaisnt the teach of our Constitution and bjp has never done anything as per our constitutin.   Its trying its best to scrap the constitution and restore it with RSS agenda.    We should oppose any move by bjp against the value of constitution.   As bjp has no respect to our constitution, it has no right to be in power.    Many of bjp leaders are giving statemetns against the value of constitution and such leaders should be treated as anti indians and action be taken on them.
