Priya Varrier’s wink is an answer to saffronists’ protest against Valentine’s Day: Jignesh

Firebrand Dalit leader turned MLA Jignesh Mevani has used winking star Priya Prakash Varrier’s viral video clip to counter Sangh Parivar’s opposing to the celebration of Valentine’s Day in India.

Extending his wishes on Valentine's Day with the viral video of Malayalam actress, Mevani tweeted: “Viral hit of ‘Manikya Malaraya Poovi’ is the answer to RSS's Valentine’s Day protest and again Indians have proved that they like to love more than hating someone.”

Sangh Parivar and other saffron outfits have been opposing celebration of Valentine's Day for years now.

Organisations like the Hindu Mahasabha, the Sri Ram Sena, the Bharat Sena, the Shakti Sena and the Bajrang Dal have been indulging in immoral policing against young couples and students in different parts of India, who wish to celebrate the Valentine's Day expressing their love their partners, year after year.

They have unleashed violence in the name of such protests against Valentine's Day celebration, vandalising public property and thrashing whoever they assume are 'couples'.

These groups may not be formally aligned with the RSS but RSS leaders have, too, spoken against celebration of Valentine's Day. RSS Leader Indresh Kumar, in June 2017, even said that "the reason behind rape, illegitimate children and all other atrocities against women is the the "western" tradition of Valentine's Day". However, the RSS has never, by itself, protested against celebrating Valentine's Day.

‘Should send 'Chaddi Sena' on border for one month’

Jignesh Mevani also took a dig at RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for saying that the Sangh will prepare a force to fight for the country within three days for which Army would take months.

"Should send Mohan Bhagwat with 'Chaddi Sena' on the border for 1 month... They should know what work Sena does and what problems they deal with," Mevani Tweeted reacting to Bhagwat's comment.

Bhagwat had made the remarks while addressing the RSS organisation in Muzaffarpur's districts school. "Sangh will prepare military personnel within three days which the Army would do in 6-7 months. This is our capability," he had claimed.

Davanagere, Apr 8: BJP MLA from Honnali constituency, MP Renukacharya, said that the government should not ignore those who attended Tablighi Jamaat event in Delhi and are escaping detection, and it is not wrong if the person is shot.

"Anyone who attended Tablighi meet, is not coming out for medical checkups and is escaping detection. The government should not ignore them. Even if he is shot, it is not wrong. Otherwise, the virus will spread throughout the entire country. In China it started with one person," Renukacharya said on Tuesday.

"We are suffering because someone is not coming for check-up. I request them to come voluntarily to the doctors and District Magistrates. Not all minorities are terrorists and not all of them are anti-nationals," he added.

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking direction for the government to impose a complete ban on all activities of the Tablighi Jamaat with immediate effect.

Over 1,000 coronavirus cases in India are linked to Tablighi Jamaat gathering. Hundreds of people who are related to Tablighi Jamaat have been quarantined.

Mumbai, Aug 9:The questioning of Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), in connection with the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, continued till around 6:30 am on Sunday, according to sources in the ED.

It is noteworthy that Showik Chakraborty had reached the ED office at around 12 pm on Saturday afternoon, following which the questioning by the investigative agency's officials went on for about 18 hours.

Tomorrow on August 10, Rhea, alongwith her father, Indrajit Chakraborty, are to be questioned by the ED officials.

Showik is named in the First Information Report (FIR) registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Rhea was earlier questioned by the ED at its office in Mumbai in connection with the case. The agency also questioned Showik and Shruti Modi, former business manager of Rajput.

According to sources in the investigation agency, the officials have got hold of electronic evidence in connection with the case and they are also searching for phone records of conversations between Rhea and her father and brother.

The ED had already questioned Rhea once on Saturday, following which she was called back on Monday.

Meanwhile, CBI has collected documents related to the actor's death from Bihar Police. The ED has also asked the late actor's friend, Siddharth Pithani, to appear before the agency on August 8.

The agency had on July 31 registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in the case after FIR was filed by KK Singh, the late actor's father, against Rhea in Bihar on July 28.
The ED earlier interrogated Samuel Miranda, an associate of Rhea over the latter's properties, sources said.

The investigating agency has registered a case against six accused including Rhea in connection with Rajput's death.

Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14.

Bengaluru, July 20: The Karnataka government has reiterated that no final decision has so far been taken on reopening of schools in the state.

The clarification comes after minutes of the July 15 HRD ministry meeting where Karnataka education department officials said schools are reopening on September 1 went viral on social media. 

“The state government has not decided yet on starting schools. That they will reopen in September was only a general opinion expressed by our officials at the meeting. At present, we have no plans to start schools unless there is a conducive environment. There’s no need for anxiety,” said primary and secondary minister S Suresh Kumar.

Kumar said the government is involved in meeting the education sector’s changed priorities in the current scenario.

The minutes were of a virtual conference on school-safety plans, with representatives of state governments and Union territories expressing views on reopening of schools. 

Against the name of Karnataka, “After September 1” was written. Similar datelines were given by Kerala, Ladakh, Manipur, Rajasthan, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, while in case of many other states it said “no decision”.

An education department official said Karnataka submitted to MHRD that it will be able to take a decision only after September 1, depending on the situation in the state.
