Shame! Incidents like Ankita still happens while ‘Amrit Dhara’ continue to flow

Ankita was a 16-year-old girl who dared to say no to a filthy goon who proposed to her, bugged her. This led to the death of this young girl. Well, this is the crux of the story. The incident has once again churned  number of questions –

1) What was the local administration doing when Ankita was being harassed?

2) Where does such goons get the courage from! If administration was strong then this would not have happened.

3) In Dumka, state hospital did not have the basic ointment or medicine, hence she was referred to Ranchi. Why? The stock at state hospital not updated? Or vested interests take home?

4) Who will pay for the death which predominantly happened due to non-availability of proper medicines at proper time?

Now, why should girls like Ankita have to die just because she did not want to accept a proposal of a filth? Irony, we talk of women empowerment, safety and security of women but the truth is incidents like Ankita. Nothing allien, it happens, happening 24×7 across remotest regions of India. Some gets reported, while rest stay under oblivion.

Is this what our freedom fighters had dreamt off? We recently observed 75th Independence Day and observed ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’… Indians felt proud to fly national tricolour under the programme ‘har ghar tiranga’ though to me it was mostly a FAD as people have forgotten to take down the flag which is also important. On August 15th from the ramparts of Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced Amrit Dhara… I may be blunt, but do we really deserve to observe such Special days when we cannot protect the dignity of our women …

The question now will be raised about ‘upbringing’ and ‘grooming’ of the filth who killed the 16-year-old Ankita but it’s highly time criminals like these should given stringent most punishment, something that would infuse a terror or fear-factor in these goons. The accused should be flogged in open and handed over to the public. This may should awkward but time has come to take such actions as only then innocent girls like Ankita will be able to believe in ‘Amrit Dhara’ flowing in this country…

Trinamool MP Saugata Roy threatens opposition with ‘shoe’

Trinamool had come to power in 2011 after people wanted to get rid of the misrule of Left regime in the state. The party had coined two catch phrases – ‘bodla noi bodol chai’ (not revenge but change), and ‘Maa Mati Manush’. Nandigram and Shingur were too scape goats that Trinamool Supremo Mamata Banerjee had banked upon. The two issues were blown out of proportion, as even today inspite of so-called “greenland” Shingur is reeling under unemployment. It was Banerjee who kicked out the Tata’s Nano project out of the state. Talk to locals in Shingur, they now confide, had they not been washed away by false promises of “Didi” then Shingur too would have developed like other Tata bastions. Infact, ancillary industries had come up in the region.

Veteran Trinamool MP (from Dum Dum, north Kolkata), and retired professor of Physics from the iconic the Aushotosh College during a political meeting in Kolkata said, “If there is any BJP or CPI(M) activist in Kolkata, listen carefully. If any of you cross the limits of decency by branding every one of the TMC as thieves while attacking the party, don’t blame us if our party men beat you up with shoes.” This has sparked off serious controversy as the opposition in the state look at it as an open threatening. The veteran MP had warned the opposition by saying, “Don’t complain if you are driven out of your locality by our members”.

Perhaps, Saugata Roy has also forgotten the coinage “bodla noi bodol chai” or was this a mere slogan to woo voters? According to party spokesperson, Kunal Ghosh who tried to cover up the controversy, said, the recent attacks on Trinamool leaders in wake of Partha Chatterjee and Anubrata Mandol episode has probably hurt Roy.

Supertech twin-tower razed to ground

“Honestly, we were scared as we stay at ATS and its the closest housing, though we had faith on the administration but still there was a fear what would happen to our flats”, said Rashi, resident. Many like Rashi had the same fear and they could not even have a wink past few days. However, their nightmare is over as the Supertech twin-tower was raised to ground at the scheduled time a short while ago.

Though its too early to react but according to officials of the Noida Authority and police ther has been not a single damage at the adjoining societies. Minutes before the blasting, there were three sirens as an alert. The blasters pressed the button with the final siren and the twin tower collapsed.

However, the huge pile of debris will remain a bone of contention for the residents. As told earlier, the experts said that it will take atleast three to four months to clear the debris.

The onlookers clapped as soon as the twin-tower collapsed as they felt it was a symbol of corruption and with the fall a battle against corruption has been won. Many of the residents expressed their happiness as the uncouth obstruction was gone.

Many residents residing in the neighbouring Emerald Court and ATS village societies who had vacated their flats had placed web camera in case there was any damage. However, everything has passed safely and prima facie reports says there was no damages caused to any of the buildings.

According to officials, the residents can move in the flats after 6:30 pm today.

Blasting of Supertech twin-tower at 2:30 pm, all preparation complete

Supertech twin-tower situated at Sector 93A, Noida, will be raised to ground in less than five-hours. All roads have been closed down that leads towards the site. Both ends of the roads have been capped. Residents of the two neighbouring housing societies – the Emerald Court and ATS village societies have vacated their flats before 7 am. They would be able to enter their houses after 4 pm.

Around 5,000 residents of the two societies along with more than 150 pets, were asked have been asked to vacate their flats. Not only the residents, but entire security staff of these societies have been asked to move out of their buildings latest by 12 pm on Sunday.

The twin will be raised to ground around 2:30 pm on August 28 today, leaving behind a whopping 55,000 tonnes of debris. Experts opine that it will take about three to four months to clear the debris.

On Saturday, the Union Minister for Civil Aviation, Jyotiraditya Scindia, gave his consent to the Noida Authority that requested not to allow flights over the one nautical mile of air space around the twin towers demolition site on Sunday. A nautical mile is equal to approximately 1.8 kilometres.

Dynasty rule in Congress ruins the party, needs a leader

Congress that once used to be the primary political party in the country has not only lost its reach but vote bank too. This has predominantly happened as Congress failed to read the nerves of its voters, loyal for decades. Rahul Gandhi has failed miserably as party president as RaGa has never been interested in the active politics. Inspite of his sister Priyanka always been interested in politics, the party never thought of fetching her for important positions like party president.

Another reason why the party is on the verge of ruining is its ‘dynasty politics’, the cult structure of Congress as members can’t see any name beyond the Gandhi’s. On Friday, veteran Congressman and Indira loyalist Ghulam Nabi Azad called party election as “farce and sham”. There is nothing wrong if veterans expect a prized position within the party. Infact, the party needs a leader and not a poster-boy.

On Saturday, veteran Congressman Mallikarjun Kharge said, they are trying to convince RaGa to accept party presidentship as there are no face pan-India who could promote and carry forward Congress legacy. He further said, Rahul Gandhi is himself not keen in becoming party president but the members have unanimously decided to request RaGa to become president.

This in itself once again explains the mindset of Congress members that cannot see any name beyond the Gandhi’s. Perhaps, people like Jyotiraditya Scindia or Sachin Pilot can give a better leadership to the party. However, Kharge did not mention the name of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra even once whom we all saw doing a great job as Uttar Pradesh incharge during the state Assembly Elections in 2022. Priyanka reached out to a large number of women with her “beti hoon, lad sakti hoon” campaign.

Congress today, needs a leader who can help the party to pass the litmus test, and not a poster-boy for pan-India publicity.

‘Spiked drinks’ adds fresh turn to Sonali Phogat’s death, why police called it accident then?

If Sonali Phogat’s death is a cold blooded murder then why was the Goa police trying to prove it as a suicide or an accident… under whose instructions? Well, these are the questions that people are asking after the Goa police confirmed her drink was spiked and Sonali was quite reluctant to drink which raises the biggest missing link – What was in the drink? Drugs or poison? Why was she still with the two accused?

Well, too early to come a conclusion but one thing is clear that she perhaps knew something that had been a bone of contention for these two or for someone else who remains in the oblivion and may have asked these two to remove Phogat out of the way. Nothing is confirmed as all are speculations.

Her family had been asking for a proper postmortem at the Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) but agreed to one done in Goa. Many more revelations to surface as the probe proceeds. The death of Phogat reminds of another lady perhaps who had come to know too much that her husband, and party did not want her to know, it’s Sunanda Pushkar.

Ghulam Nabi Azad accuses Congress high-command for devastation, says elections are “farce and sham”

A very big statement from someone of the stature of Ghulam Nabi Azad who had been with the Congress party since the days of Indira Gandhi and had witnessed numerous ups and downs not just in Congress but all the political parties. On Friday today, Azad, left the party. The veteran Congress leader blamed Rahul Gandhi for the present devastating condition of Congress. He said the high command was not concerned to revive the party.

Azad had sent a letter to the interim Congress president, Sonia Gandhi stating he wants to quit. The veteran Congress leader has quit from all the posts of the party.

Well, the big question is why Azad slammed the Congress elections by calling it “farce and sham”? Being an old party loyalists its nothing wrong to expect a prized position within the party. Speculations are making rounds, will Azad join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Bengal judges writes to CJI over treat from Trinamool allegedly

A group of West Bengal judges writes to Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana informing him about the threat given to Asansol judge Rajesh Chakraborty by one Bappa Chatterjee presiding over the Anubrata Mandol case. They sought transfer of the case to some other state where they could work properly.

Well, nothing to be astonished. Chatterjee is following his master faithfully. During the Panchayat elections in the state, Mandol said, “jekhane police dekhben boma manun” (Whenever you see police hurl bomb at them). He even instigated political goons to carry out violence during elections.

Mandol, a close confidant of Trinamool Supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, had always enjoyed the privilege of ablue eyed boy. Banerjee who calls him “Keshta” (Krishna) had not only stood beside him in his wrong statements, but even asked people to overlook his what she called as ‘mistakes’. “Keshta r mathai ektu Oxygen kom jai tai o bhul bhal bole, ote kichu mone korbennaa” (Oxygen goes less to the head of Keshta, he thus talks irrelevant at times. Please excuse him for this). However, people still today remain confused what connection oxygen has with irrelevant talking.

Mamata Banerjee, needs people like Anubrata Mandol, Madan Mitra to fetch votes. If these people remain inside during this time which is very crucial as Banerjee eyes on 2024 general elections.

Is Kejriwal trying to say Delhi-ites happy with liquor shops mushrooming? Does he interact with people?

Ever since the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has initiated a 15-hour raid at the residence of Manish Sisodia, Deputy Chief Minister and close confidant of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, he has become vocal on trying to prove he and his party is holy cow. Really? Why was he silent when people were requesting him to change the excise policy that saw opening of liquor shops across Delhi. The BJP had accused Delhi government of flouting city’s Master Plan to accommodate liquor mafias open shops having educational and religious institutions within the 100 metre redius.

Today, we hear the CM making a reaction on the liquor allegations but we did not hear a single word when a 20-year-old was gang-raped, tonsured, garlanded with slippers and paraded with a blackened face in the Kasturba Nagar area in the national capital. She was attacked by a a group of people, including women, who chopped off her hair, tore her clothes, blackened her face. The woman was also allegedly sexually assaulted. The accused were found to be illicit liquor sellers residing in the area.

Women safety is what Delhi CM always boasts off but he never cared to listen to the plight of women who had requested Kejriwal to roll back on his liquor policy and remove the shops from residential areas. They had expressed fear of anti-social elements becoming powerful creatingh mess across the city. Kejriwal never paid any heed but he offered ‘buy one get one free’ scheme. I had myself met people while reporting on the issue and found both men and women across Delhi fuming. During opening of a liquor shop bang opposite Maharaja Agrasen College, in Govindpuri, south Delhi, I interacted with a group of senior citizen sitting on an indefinite dharna who said they would like to teach Kejriwal a lesson for disturbing the peace and calm in the area. Locals had expressed concerns about the safety and security of females.

On Thursday, today, Kejriwal along with his party members paid a visit to Raj Ghat, Mahatma Gandhi’s memorial. He accused the BJP of trying to topple his government. He said BJP needs 40 MLAs and it has kept Rs 800 crore to achieve this. Why does he have to do a photo opp at Raj Ghat to prove BJP was trying to implicate the ‘holy cow’ government into false cases.

The problem is people in Delhi have lost the trust they had ushered in Kejriwal due to various reasons that shattered the image of Delhi government.
