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.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 22nd Nov. The Congress party on Friday retaliated against BJP president JP Nadda’s allegations, accusing the opposition of pushing a politically motivated narrative regarding the ongoing unrest in Manipur. Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh called Nadda’s letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge a “4D exercise—denial, distortion, distraction, and defamation.” Nadda had earlier accused Congress of presenting a false narrative on the Manipur violence, in response to Kharge’s letter to President Droupadi Murmu seeking intervention in the crisis. Kharge had highlighted the Centre’s failure to defuse the situation, which has seen escalating violence since May 2023 between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities, resulting in over 220 deaths. In his rejoinder, Nadda claimed that Congress’s failure in addressing local issues when it was in power was still contributing to the unrest. “What is shocking is how repeated attempts are being made by the Congress party to sensationalise the situation in Manipur,” Nadda stated, also criticizing the Congress for its past handling of issues related to illegal migration. In response, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh hit out at Nadda, saying the party was merely trying to deflect attention from the core issues at hand. He raised four key questions regarding the ongoing crisis, asking when Prime Minister Modi would visit the state, when Chief Minister N. Biren Singh would step down given the lack of support from the majority of MLAs, when a full-time governor would be appointed, and when Union Home Minister Amit Shah would take responsibility for his handling of the situation. Ramesh stressed that the people of Manipur were yearning for peace and were questioning the government’s inaction. The Congress continues to criticize the Centre’s response to the ethnic violence that has left thousands displaced and deeply affected the northeastern state.

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.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 19th Nov.  The Congress on Tuesday slammed the BJP-led NDA government after several ruling coalition MLAs reportedly skipped a meeting convened by Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh claimed the “writing on the wall is clear” and questioned whether Union Home Minister Amit Shah is acknowledging the situation. In a post on X, Ramesh highlighted that only 26 out of 60 NDA MLAs attended the meeting on Monday night, including four from the National People’s Party (NPP), which has already withdrawn support for the Chief Minister. “The Union Home Minister, to whom the PM has abdicated responsibility for Manipur, needs to take note,” Ramesh remarked. Amid escalating violence in Manipur, Ramesh criticized the BJP’s “double engine government” and demanded the resignation of both Shah and Biren Singh. The Congress also reiterated its demand for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit Manipur and meet stakeholders ahead of the upcoming Parliament session on November 25. Rising Violence and Political Unrest Manipur has been reeling under ethnic strife since May, with over 220 fatalities and thousands displaced. Recent incidents include attacks on offices of the Congress and BJP, arson targeting the homes of BJP and Congress legislators, and clashes across the state. An indefinite curfew remains in place in the Imphal Valley, while agitators have made repeated attempts to breach high-security areas, including Chief Minister Singh’s ancestral home. The Congress accused the Centre of neglecting the crisis and failing to restore peace in the region. “From May 3, Manipur is burning, and the prime minister has neither visited the state nor addressed the concerns of its people,” Ramesh alleged. Congress’ Demands The Congress has called for: PM Modi’s visit to Manipur: To meet political parties, civil society groups, and displaced individuals. All-party consultations: Both at the state and national levels before the Parliament session. Resignations: Of Home Minister Shah and CM Singh for their alleged failure to manage the crisis.
