BJP Prioritizes Ideology Over National Interest: Opposition Reacts to Lifting Ban on Government Employees in RSS

The recent central government order lifting the long-standing ban on government employees participating in RSS activities has ignited a political firestorm. Ahead of the Budget Session of the Lok Sabha, this move has been met with sharp criticism from opposition parties, while the RSS and BJP have staunchly defended it.

The Controversial Order

Earlier this month, the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances, and Pension issued an order lifting the ban on government employees engaging in RSS activities. This ban, initially imposed in 1966, was deemed “unconstitutional” by the RSS and BJP, who argue that it should never have been implemented.

Silence from Allies

Allies such as the Janata Dal (United) and Rashtriya Lok Dal have remained silent on the matter. JD(U) national spokesperson K C Tyagi refused to comment, while RLD national spokesperson Mohammad Islam indicated he would discuss the issue within the party before making any statements.

Opposition’s Outcry

The opposition, however, has not held back. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh took to social media to highlight the order, pointing out the historical context of the ban, which was reinforced in 1966 despite assurances from the RSS after Gandhi’s assassination. Ramesh criticized the government, noting the recent strain in relations between the Modi administration and the RSS.

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi condemned the order, stating it threatens India’s integrity and unity. He emphasized that the RSS has historically refused to accept the Constitution, national flag, and national anthem, making it incompatible with civil service duties.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi expressed concerns about the potential bias in government agencies, stating that the order allows officials to overtly display their RSS affiliations. She criticized the BJP for prioritizing ideological interests over national interests.

Trinamool Congress MP Derek O’Brien voiced his disappointment, while BSP president Mayawati accused the government of appeasing the RSS for political gains, calling the order politically motivated and against national interests.

Defending the Decision

In contrast, the RSS and BJP defended the lifting of the ban. RSS publicity in-charge Sunil Ambekar argued that the Sangh has been a constructive force in nation-building and disaster response, making the ban unjustified. He claimed that the decision strengthens India’s democratic system.

BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya echoed these sentiments, calling the original 1966 ban unconstitutional. He highlighted the historical context of the ban following a massive anti-cow-slaughter protest and noted that even Indira Gandhi had considered lifting the ban in 1977 for political support.

Conclusion

As the debate rages on, the central government’s decision to lift the ban on government employees participating in RSS activities continues to polarize political opinions. While the RSS and BJP see it as a correction of historical wrongs, the opposition views it as a dangerous blending of state and ideology that undermines national interests.

Macron’s Call for European NATO Force Ignites Controversy

French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to bolster Europe’s military presence within NATO has triggered a heated debate amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine. His call for a stronger, more autonomous European force within the larger NATO alliance raises questions about the future of European defense and its relationship with the United States.

Supporters: A Step Towards Strategic Autonomy

Those in favor of Macron’s plan argue that Europe needs to reduce its reliance on the United States for defense. They believe a reinforced European presence within NATO would allow for faster decision-making and greater operational effectiveness, particularly in Europe’s neighborhood.

Critics: Potential to Undermine NATO

Opponents of the proposal fear it could weaken NATO’s unity and create unnecessary duplication of capabilities. Some experts warn that a separate European force risks undermining NATO’s integrated command structure, potentially slowing down responses to crises. There are also concerns about further straining US-European relations if the proposal is seen as Europe turning away from its most important ally.

The Ukraine Factor

The war in Ukraine has brought Europe’s defense shortcomings to the forefront, highlighting the need for greater self-sufficiency. However, it also underscores the vital role NATO, and particularly the United States, play in European security. Macron’s proposal aims to strike a balance between these realities.

Key Questions

How would a bolstered European force operate within NATO’s existing framework?

Would it strengthen NATO or create divisions within the alliance?

Does Europe have the political will and financial resources to make this proposal a reality?

The debate underscores the complex challenges Europe faces in navigating an increasingly unstable security landscape.

"Former Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar's Return to BJP: A Twist in Political Alliances

In a surprising turn of events, former Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar has once again switched his political allegiance, bidding farewell to the Congress party and returning to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This move comes as another setback for the Congress, which is already grappling with challenges in various states.

Also Read - Gali Chart

The veteran politician, aged 67, had initially joined the Congress just last year ahead of the Karnataka assembly elections, leaving the BJP. However, his return to the BJP was marked by a formal ceremony in the presence of senior party leaders, including former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and state party chief BY Vijayendra.

Jagadish Shettar's political journey has been characterized by ups and downs. He belongs to the influential Lingayat community and has been a six-time Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). His political career took a significant turn when he served as the Chief Minister of Karnataka for a period of 10 months between 2012 and 2013.

The twist in Shettar's political affiliation occurred in April of the previous year when he parted ways with the BJP after being denied a ticket. The Congress party welcomed him and fielded him as a candidate in the Hubli-Dharwad Central assembly constituency, a seat he had previously held during his tenure with the BJP.

Unfortunately for Shettar, the electoral outcome did not favor him, as he faced a substantial defeat at the hands of BJP's Mahesh Tenginakai. Despite the setback, the Congress had entrusted him with representing the party in a crucial constituency.

Jagadish Shettar's return to the BJP raises questions about the dynamics of political loyalties and the role of regional leaders in shaping party alliances. As a seasoned politician, Shettar's influence within the Lingayat community could potentially impact the political landscape in Karnataka.

Shettar's political career traces back to the 1980s, and he has held various key positions within the BJP, including state president and leader of the opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. His experience and leadership have made him a significant figure in Karnataka politics, contributing to the ongoing political realignment in the state.

The timing of Shettar's return is noteworthy, considering the recent announcements by Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) regarding their decision to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka independently. The political scenario in the state seems to be undergoing a transformation, with regional leaders making strategic decisions to secure their political future.

For the Congress, Shettar's departure is a setback that adds to the challenges the party is facing across the country. The BJP, on the other hand, sees this return as a strengthening of its position, especially in the context of the Lingayat community's political dynamics.

In conclusion, Jagadish Shettar's journey from the BJP to the Congress and back to the BJP underscores the fluidity of political alliances and the importance of regional leaders in shaping the political narrative. As Karnataka gears up for future elections, Shettar's return adds a new dimension to the unfolding political drama, leaving political observers and the electorate eager to see how these developments will shape the state's political landscape in the coming months.

Congress Asserts Importance of Mamata Banerjee in INDIA Bloc Amidst Alliance Uncertainty

In a surprising turn of events, Mamata Banerjee’s announcement of going solo in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in West Bengal has left the Opposition INDIA bloc in a state of disarray. The Congress, responding to Banerjee’s decision, emphasized that an alliance without the Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo is inconceivable.

Addressing the media in a press conference, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh acknowledged the shock caused by Mamata Banerjee’s decision. He underscored the significance of the TMC as “a strong pillar” within the INDIA bloc and expressed the party’s inability to imagine the bloc without Mamata Banerjee.

“Mamata Banerjee stated that the goal is to defeat the BJP, and we are committed to doing whatever it takes. Rahul Gandhi has clearly stated that Mamata Ji and the TMC are integral to the strength of the INDIA bloc. We cannot fathom the existence of the INDIA bloc without Mamata Ji,” Ramesh affirmed.

Ramesh further assured that despite the unexpected development, the INDIA bloc would continue to function as a united front in West Bengal. He expressed optimism about fruitful seat-sharing discussions with the TMC in the future.

“The alliance will operate cohesively in West Bengal. Congress president (Mallikarjun Kharge) has extended invitations multiple times, stating that all INDIA bloc parties are welcome to join the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra,” Ramesh stated.

Amidst uncertainties caused by Banerjee’s solo decision, Ramesh conveyed the INDIA bloc’s commitment to uniting against the BJP. He announced that the Congress’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, currently progressing in Assam, would extend into West Bengal with the same purpose.

“While on a long journey, speed breakers and red lights may come our way,” Ramesh noted, symbolizing the challenges faced during such political journeys.

Mamata Banerjee’s decision to sever ties with the Congress emerged following a public exchange with West Bengal Congress chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury. The TMC leader claimed that the grand old party did not inform her about their planned Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, raising questions about communication within the bloc.

Banerjee’s move has introduced a new complexity to the Opposition’s attempts to present a unified front against the ruling BJP in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls. The INDIA bloc now faces the challenge of reshaping its strategy in light of this unexpected development.

The Rise of Mamata: The Untold Story of Trinamool Congress' Founding

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) is a major political party in West Bengal, India that has dominated state politics since coming to power in 2011 under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee.

The party was formed in 1997 as a breakaway faction of the Indian National Congress, which had long held political hegemony in West Bengal. The seeds of the Trinamool Congress were sown during a period of political turmoil and fragmentation in West Bengal.

The Roots of Discontent Against Congress Rule

Since 1977, West Bengal had been ruled almost continuously by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) led Left Front. While the Left made some progress in land reforms and decentralization of power, over time its rule had become increasingly associated with stagnation, lack of industrial development, and the rise of corruption and political violence. By the early 1990s there was growing discontent against Left rule. At the same time, the state unit of the Indian National Congress was weakened by continuous electoral defeats and factionalism within the party organization.

This created political space for other parties to emerge. One such party was the All India Trinamool Congress formed in 1997 by Mamata Banerjee, who broke away from the Congress along with several other leaders. The origins of this breakaway faction date back to Mamata Banerjee’s emergence as a young political leader in West Bengal during the Congress rule in the 1980s.

Mamata Banerjee’s Rise in Congress Politics

Mamata Banerjee first stepped into politics as a young Congress activist while she was still a student at Jogamaya Devi College in Kolkata, which was a center of student politics and anti-government protests. She quickly gained notice for her fiery oratory style and courage in confronting the Communist student activists who then dominated most educational institutions. Her political mentor was Subrata Mukherjee, a veteran Congress leader of South Kolkata, under whose tutelage Mamata cut her political teeth.

In 1984, Mamata contested and won the Lok Sabha election from the South Calcutta constituency as a Congress candidate at the young age of 29, making national headlines as the “giant killer” for defeating seasoned Communist leader Somnath Chatterjee. As an MP she joined Congress leader Rajiv Gandhi’s reformist brigade of young leaders in the party. Over the next decade, she consolidated her position within the West Bengal Congress organization with support from Subrata Mukherjee and rising through the ranks to become the state’s Youth Congress President in 1992 and Congress Secretary in West Bengal in 1993.

However, electoral setbacks for Congress across India in 1989 and 1991 pushed the party into an existential crisis. In West Bengal, Congress slid into disarray and factional feuds due to its continuous losses to the Left Front. Mamata Banerjee grew increasingly disillusioned. She publicly criticized the Congress leadership for not doing enough to revive party fortunes and for being insensitive to the grassroots situation. The last straw was the Congress Working Committee rejecting her proposal for an electoral alliance with the Left to defeat the bourgeois BJP party in 1996. This widening rift set the stage for Mamata’s exit from the Congress.

Formation of Trinamool Congress

On January 1, 1998 Mamata Banerjee formally announced the establishment of her own party called the All India Trinamool Congress. The name “Trinamool” means grassroots in Bengali and signified a party born out of the people. It was officially registered with the Election Commission of India on September 26, 1998. The Trinamool flag has distinctive grass green color symbolizing its grassroots identity. Read more.......

Abhishek Banerjee: Resting with eye problems, TMC leader attends special meeting virtually

Doctors have advised rest for the time being due to eye problems. Therefore, Abhishek Banerjee, the organizer, joined the Trinamool special session virtually, not physically. All India General Secretary of Trinamool did not say a word even though he bowed his hands to all present. The state president of the party Subrata Bakshi said that the doctor asked him to rest for seven to ten days. He is in no condition to speak today.

Before the Lok Sabha, all the representatives who won the Trinamool symbol will attend the special session at the Netaji Indoor Stadium on Thursday. It was hosted by Abhishek himself. But he could not be physically present at the conference. However, Abhishek is listening to the speech of the whole meeting from virtual presence. According to sources, he has a new infection in his eyes. He is currently resting following the advice of doctors. In this context, Subrata Bakshi said, "Today's host was Abhishek Banerjee. The doctor asked him to rest for seven to ten days. He also joined to honor you." He also said, “Abhishek Banerjee is not in a position to speak today. He himself is sorry.”

Trinamool Congress All India General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee has reportedly suffered from a serious eye infection due to wearing contact lenses for a long time. He is now resting at home after treatment at a private hospital. But not completely healthy. Meanwhile, there is a special session of Trinamool at Netaji Indoor on Thursday. Abhishek was supposed to take care of everything. But he could not appear in person. However, Abhishek Banerjee attended the meeting virtually in a sick body, thinking of the party workers, supporters and out of a sense of responsibility towards the party. Such is the demand of the top leadership of Trinamool.

Tension continues in Bengal over Ram Navami violence

Child rights body flags videos of kids pelting stones in Howrah clashes

KOLKATA: Tension gripped the Rishra area in Hooghly where violence between two communities spread on Sunday evening during another Ram Navami procession. BJP’s state president Sukanta Majumdar, who was on his way to Rishra, was intercepted and police did not allow him to proceed. In protest, BJP supporters put up a roadblock on bustling GT Road for over three hours.

“Mujamdar was not allowed to visit the trouble-torn area as Section 144 has been clamped in the area,’’ said police. “The ruling Trinamool Congress s misusing the police to meet their purpose. The men in uniform stood mute spectators and now they are resisting us,’’ said Majumdar.

Chief minister Mamata Banerjee accused the BJP of creating unrest in Bengal. “Ram Navami is over five days ago. But they are still taking out processions in the name of the event only to create unrest in the state,’’ she said. She asked ‘Hindu brothers’ to protect minorities and claimed that there are plans afoot for another round of violence in the state on Thursday when the nation celebrates Hanuman Jayanti.

A total of 12 persons were arrested in connection with the violence in Rishra. Personnel of the Rapid Action Force (RAF) were deployed in the area. Police made announcements using the public address system asking people not to come out of their homes without any emergency reasons.

Meanwhile, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights claimed to have come across video footage of children being used in stone-pelting in Shibpur, Howrah, during a Ram Navami procession. The Commission said it has taken suo-moto cognizance and asked the commissioner of police to take action against the perpetrators and identify the children so counselling may be done.

The Howrah police have been asked to submit an action taken report within two days. “The Commission has come across a Twitter post where it has come to the notice of the Commission that during Ram Navami Sobha Yatra in Howrah’s Shibpur area, the mob turns violent and the children are seen to be used in stone pelting in violent activities by anti-social elements.

The Commission has taken suo-moto cognizance of the matter as prime facie, the use of children in such violent activities by anti-social elements seems to be a violation of Section 83(2) of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015, and other relevant sections of IPC,’’ the letter written to the police commissioner by Priyank Kanoongo read.
