Priyanka Gandhi Joins Wrestlers Protest, Asks Cops To Show FIR Copy

The Delhi Police, which functions under Amit Shah's Home Ministry, filed the two first information reports (FIRs) hours after the Supreme Court ordered them to do so.

New Delhi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra met protesting wrestlers at Delhi's Jantar Mantar today to express solidarity with their demand for action against the alleged sexual harassment of women athletes by superiors. The wrestlers have been on a sit-in at Jantar Mantar demanding the arrest of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on complaints of sexual harassment.

At the protest venue, the Congress general secretary hit out at the Delhi Police for not providing a copy of the First Information Report, or FIR, filed against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

"I don't have any expectations from the PM (Narendra Modi), because if he is worried about these wrestlers, then why has he not talked to them or met them yet. Why the govt is trying to save him (Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh," she said.

The Delhi Police on Friday filed two cases against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief after the Supreme Court ordered them to do so. One of the FIRs is over a complaint of sexual harassment by a minor, filed under the stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, which gives no scope for bail.

The Delhi Police will pursue the case actively, sources said.

But despite the assurance of police action, the wrestlers said they will continue their sit-in protest demanding the "immediate arrest" of the WFI chief.

"We respect Supreme Court's order, but we don't have faith in Delhi Police. This fight is not for an FIR. This fight is to punish people like him. He needs to be in jail and stripped of his portfolios," the wrestlers said.

Earlier this week, Priyanka Gandhi had slammed the government, saying that the pleas of the sportspersons, who enhance the country's honour, were being ignored. She had asserted that "when the arrogance of a party and its leaders" is sky high, then such voices are crushed.

Congress leaders such as Bhupinder Hooda, Deepender Hooda and Udit Raj had also joined the protesting wrestlers at Jantar Mantar earlier this week to express solidarity with them.

Mr Singh, who is also a BJP MP, welcomed the Supreme Court's order to file the police case into allegations of sexual harassment against him.

Mr Singh told reporters the wrestlers should have waited for the report of a committee that was tasked to look into the matter before they decided to sit on a protest in Delhi's Jantar Mantar.

"I am happy with the judiciary's decision. The Delhi Police will investigate the allegations and I am ready to cooperate with them in every possible way. No one is bigger than the judiciary in this country. The order has come to file an FIR (first information report). The government had also said it had no objection to filing an FIR. I am not larger than the Supreme Court. I welcome the order," Mr Singh told reporters.

PM Modi Slams Opposition, Focuses on Welfare for the Poor 

On the eve of the Delhi elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly criticized the Opposition, particularly the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress. He referred to AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal’s luxurious "Sheesh Mahal" residence and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi’s "poor thing" remark about President Droupadi Murmu. Modi accused the Opposition of neglecting the poor while indulging in family politics and extravagance. 

Commitment to Welfare 

Speaking in the Lok Sabha during the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address, Modi emphasized his government's commitment to uplifting the underprivileged. He stated that his administration focused on "santushtikaran" (satisfaction) rather than "tushtikaran" (appeasement). He highlighted that 25 crore people had been lifted out of poverty in the last decade, unlike the Congress era, which only made empty promises of eradicating poverty. 

Welfare Schemes for the Poor 

Modi listed various welfare measures, including the construction of 4 crore houses, 12 crore toilets, and providing tap water to 12 crore families. He criticized the Opposition for merely visiting poor people's huts for photo sessions, while his government took real steps to improve their lives. He pointed out that direct benefit transfers had eliminated middlemen, ensuring that government funds reached the needy. 

Attack on AAP and Congress 

Targeting AAP, Modi took a dig at Kejriwal’s lavish lifestyle, saying, "We saved money but did not use it to build a Sheesh Mahal. We used it to build the country." He also praised the Union Budget for being middle-class friendly, citing the increase in income tax exemption from Rs 2 lakh in 2014 to Rs 12 lakh now. 

Modi attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his recent remarks about "fighting the Indian State," comparing them to the language of Naxals. He also criticized Gandhi’s views on foreign policy, suggesting that he lacked understanding and should educate himself on historical diplomatic crises. 

Defense of the BJP’s Policies 

Responding to Sonia Gandhi’s comments on President Murmu, Modi condemned the insult to a woman leader from a tribal background. He asserted that India had moved beyond such outdated thinking and was now focused on women-led development. 

Empowering Backward Communities 

Defending the BJP’s commitment to the Constitution, Modi highlighted his government’s efforts to empower backward communities. He noted that the number of medical colleges had doubled since 2014, significantly increasing seats for SC, ST, and OBC students. 

Conclusion 

In conclusion, Modi emphasized that his government prioritizes social justice, development, and democratic principles, in contrast to the family-dominated politics of the Opposition. For political news in Hindi, subscribe to our newsletter!

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 3rd Feb. Amid opposition criticism over Andhra Pradesh’s allocation in the Union Budget, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu praised the Modi government’s proposals, stating the Budget aims to make India a developed country by 2047. Naidu, whose Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is a key ally of the BJP, expressed his full support for the Budget, claiming it aligns with TDP’s 10 growth principles. Speaking to the media ahead of Delhi’s Assembly elections, Naidu criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, labeling it a “half-engine sarkar” and calling for a “double-engine government,” a term often used by the BJP to highlight the benefits of having the same party in power at both the state and national levels. He said Delhi needed a government that would foster inclusive growth, as opposed to the current one, which he claimed has failed. On the Union Budget, Naidu lauded its emphasis on women, the poor, youth, and farmers, while noting its focus on six key growth sectors. He called it a progressive and pro-people budget that reflects the vision for a Viksit Bharat, with tax relief for the middle class. While Naidu backed the Budget, opposition parties such as Congress and YSR Congress criticized the lack of major announcements for Andhra Pradesh, especially when states like Bihar received more allocations ahead of upcoming elections. YSR Congress leader B Rajendranath Reddy accused Naidu of failing to secure Andhra’s rightful share from the Centre. Naidu also addressed a rally in Delhi’s Shahdara, urging the people to support the BJP. He drew a comparison between his rival, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, both of whom he criticized for lavish expenditures. Naidu appealed to Delhi residents to vote out AAP in a similar manner to how Andhra Pradesh voted out Jagan Reddy’s party.

Non-playing captains take centre court

By Faisul Yaseen

It is a Wimbledon of words and non-playing captains are calling the shots.

Welcome to Kashmir’s political court where the non-playing captains do not touch a racquet, yet their every serve is scrutinised, every rally dissected.

Their juicy rhetoric and intricate political maneuvering on Kashmir’s electoral landscape have turned the campaign for the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections into a fascinating spectacle.

Sitting on the sidelines, these veteran strategists, with decades of political acumen, are the true maestros of this championship, their players mere extensions of their game plan on the electoral court.

The forehand of the non-playing captain of National Conference (NC), Farooq Abdullah, a three-time chief minister and party’s president, is capable of wrong-footing even the most nimble opponent.

Playing at the centre court, his game is a potent mix of charisma and political savvy. A rallying force, his aura permeates alleyways and villages, his presence commanding crowds, as though every political rally he touches turns into a grand slam event.

His team may be the ones playing the game, but it is Abdullah’s forehand that sets the ball in motion.

NC spokesman Imran Nabi Dar says that the party revolves around Abdullah.

“He is a crowd puller and a mass mobiliser,” Dar says. “His aura is not limited to Jammu and Kashmir.”

Across the net stands Mehbooba Mufti, former chief minister and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president, whose refusal to contest in the upcoming assembly polls is drenched in nostalgia for a time when Jammu and Kashmir’s special status was intact.

She coaches her players from behind the net, boosting their spirits, to compete on her behalf in this tense political game.

Her baseline strategy?

Stay off the court, but ensure her team is ready to smash through the opposition’s defences.

PDP Youth President and its candidate for south Kashmir’s Pulwama constituency, Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra says that while Mufti might not be contesting herself, she boosts the morale of the contesting candidates of the party as well as the PDP supporters.

“Everybody in the party wanted her to contest but she is not contesting because she believes that she was the chief minister of a state which had a special status…,” he says.

In Kashmir’s political court, where the art of the “drop shot��� is less about finesse and more about dropping bombshells that reverberate across the Valley, the court is crowded with players from all corners of the political spectrum.

But this is no ordinary tournament.

While some non-playing captains are coaching their team players to serve aces, others are happy to let their squad members play from the baseline and hit backhand shots to win the bigger political rallies.

Ghulam Nabi Azad, leading the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP), brings his years of experience to bear, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s high command in New Delhi tosses policy decisions from afar, their influence felt with every backhand play.

BJP J&K unit’s General Secretary (Organisation) Ashok Kaul says that while senior leaders like Ram Madhav, Gangapuram Kishan Reddy, Ashish Sood, and Tarun Chugh are looking after the affairs of the party for the upcoming elections in J&K, the party high command including the BJP’s star campaigners Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh are reaching out to the voters to set the ball rolling.

Like the BJP high command, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is also assuming the role of the non-playing captain for the Congress in J&K.

Senior Congress leader and former legislator Ghulam Nabi Monga says that Gandhi has a lot of love for the people of Kashmir.

“A sea of people – young and old, men, women and children, came to welcome him when he recently visited Kashmir while his Bharat Jodo Yatra was also impressive,” he says. “He is our star campaigner and connects well with the masses as he talks about Kashmir from the heart.”

Even from behind bars, Engineer Rashid, the incarcerated president of the Awami Ittehad Party (AIP), manages to make his presence felt on this political court.

His absence from the court itself only seems to amplify his political voice, bringing into sharp focus the unique nature of this high-stakes game.

Rashid’s son Abrar, who successfully led his campaign in the parliamentary polls and is now campaigning for the upcoming assembly polls, says the campaign not only in north Kashmir but also in south Kashmir is witnessing massive crowds.

“Yes, Rashid Sahab is the major factor in our campaign,” he says. “This is because he has tirelessly worked for the people.”

The match might have started at love-all but the rallies are getting longer and longer.

Meanwhile, the electorate watches with bated breath as the score teeters between advantage and deuce.

As the political grand slam unfolds in J&K, a single fault may be forgiven, but a double fault could cost the entire match.

With the final set approaching, the tension is palpable. Who will emerge victorious in this most unusual of championships? Will it be the seasoned veterans, their experience guiding them through the trickiest of tiebreaks? Or will a dark horse emerge, armed with a powerful serve of fresh ideas and grassroots support?

One thing is certain: in the grand arena of Kashmiri politics, where the lines between sport and statecraft blur, there is no such thing as a simple game. Here, every point is a policy, every set a mandate, and the match itself is nothing less than the future of the region.

October 8 will determine who wins the point, game, set, match, and this grand slam called Kashmir’s political theatre.

Greater Kashmir
