Exploring Opposition Critiques of Sanatana Dharma: Modi’s Call for Examination:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a recent meeting with his cabinet members, directed them to vigorously counter controversial remarks made by Opposition leaders regarding Sanatana Dharma and to expose the individuals responsible for these comments. However, he advised his ministerial colleagues to steer clear of the political dispute surrounding the name “Bharat,” emphasizing that it has been a historical name for the nation, according to insider sources. During the meeting, the PM also discussed the country’s readiness for the upcoming G20 meeting.

Addressing the recent controversy sparked by DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin’s statements, in which he criticized Sanatana Dharma for promoting division and discrimination, the PM stressed the importance of exposing the parties and leaders behind such statements and presenting the truth to the public. Sources indicated that Modi spoke positively about the enduring legacy of Sanatana Dharma throughout the millennia and urged ministers to robustly counter the suggestions made by Opposition figures.

Regarding the controversy surrounding the reference to Droupadi Murmu as the “President of Bharat” and Modi as the “Prime Minister of Bharat,” ministers were advised not to engage in the debate. Government sources have asserted that the Constitution itself uses both “India” and “Bharat” to refer to the country, and they have accused opposition parties of unnecessarily inflaming the issue.

Tamil Nadu CM Stalin’s Tweet About India:

Chief Minister M K Stalin has asserted that the BJP’s desire to replace ‘India’ with ‘Bharat’ stems from their apprehension of the term ‘India,’ as it underscores the strength of unity within the opposition.

He conveyed this message on the social media platform X, emphasizing that the BJP had pledged to revolutionize India, yet all they delivered was a change in nomenclature after nine years.

He went on to declare that the name ‘India’ would be the force that ousts the BJP from power in the upcoming elections. CM remarked that the BJP’s push for renaming India to Bharat came in response to the united efforts of non-BJP forces aiming to remove the authoritarian BJP government, aptly naming their coalition ‘India.’

Sehwag Urges BCCI: Change Indian Players’ Jersey Name to ‘Bharat:

Amidst the ongoing discussions about the government’s potential renaming of the country from India to Bharat, a move that has sparked controversy, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has expressed his support for the name change.

In a social media message, the renowned cricketer has called upon the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to alter the name on the jerseys of Indian cricketers taking part in the upcoming ICC World Cup. “I have always believed that a name should instill pride in us. We are Bhartiyas.

India is a name bestowed by the British, and it is high time we officially revert to our original name, ‘Bharat,'” Sehwag conveyed in the post shared on X (formerly known as Twitter). Sehwag further emphasized his point by highlighting instances of other nations embracing their original names.

He mentioned that during the 1996 World Cup, the Netherlands participated as Bharat, while in 2003 when India played against them, they represented themselves as the Netherlands and have continued to do so.

Amit Shah Expresses Confidence in BJP’s Re-election in MP with Over 150 Seats:

Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his confidence on Tuesday that the BJP would secure more than 150 seats and retain power in Madhya Pradesh in the upcoming assembly elections scheduled for the end of the year.

Launching the BJP’s ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra,’ a large-scale mass-contact program, in Madhya Pradesh’s Mahakaushal region starting from Mandla, Shah stated that the campaign aims to seek the blessings of the people for the government’s development efforts in the state in preparation for the upcoming assembly polls.

Five such yatras, or journeys, were initiated from five different locations in the state in anticipation of the November assembly elections. All five yatras will conclude in Bhopal on September 25, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to address party workers.

Amit Shah emphasized that the ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ would serve as the foundation for the BJP to secure over 150 out of the total 230 assembly seats in the state.

He mentioned that Madhya Pradesh had historically been considered a ‘BIMARU’ (laggard) state due to the previous Congress regime. However, the BJP, particularly under the leadership of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, has transformed the state into an ‘unmatched’ one over the past four decades, Shah added. He commended Chouhan for his efforts in tribal development and cited Madhya Pradesh as the first state to implement the Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas (PESA) Act in 1996.

Amit Shah criticized Congress veterans Digvijay Singh and Kamal Nath, accusing them of neglecting the state when they held the position of Chief Minister in Madhya Pradesh. He highlighted the discontinuation of 53 Central welfare schemes during Kamal Nath’s tenure in 2018.

Shah also criticized the Congress for its minority appeasement policy, noting the change in approach since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014. He emphasized the Modi government’s focus on the welfare of tribals, Dalits, the poor, and backward classes who have rights to the country’s natural resources.

Bandi Alleges That I.N.D.I.A Is Comprised of Hindu Betrayers:

The BJP continued its criticism of Tamil Nadu Minister Udayanidhi Stalin on Wednesday for his remarks regarding Sanatan Dharma and demanded an immediate apology. They also warned of widespread outrage across the country, emphasizing that his comments not only insulted Hindu ‘Dharma’ but all religions.

Prakash Javadekar, the BJP’s Rajya Sabha member and Telangana election in-charge, expressed, “Udayanidhi, by equating Sanatan Dharma with Dengue and Covid, not only disrespected Sanatan Dharma but all faiths. He has offended believers of all religions, as people deeply cherish their faith.”

Javadekar also took aim at the Congress party, which leads the I.N.D.I.A political alliance, of which the DMK party, to which Stalin belongs, is a part. He questioned whether Rahul Gandhi or Congress President Kharge would clarify their party’s stance on Udayanidhi’s views.

Javadekar stated that they would maintain their dignity but highlighted the widespread anger against Udayanidhi across the country. He presented two demands: Udayanidhi must issue an immediate apology, and Congress should clarify whether it supported or opposed Stalin’s comments.

Meanwhile, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Karimnagar MP and former BJP state president, who was visiting the USA, remarked that it has become a trend for parties in the I.N.D.I.A bloc to criticize Hindu Dharma and insult Hindus. He cautioned that those who criticize Sanatan Dharma are also part of the same society that holds it dear.

Bandi Sanjay, speaking in Charlotte, North Carolina, drew attention to Udayanidhi’s grandfather describing Lord Rama as an engineer, while the grandson insulted Sanatan Dharma. He asserted that whether it’s Stalin, Sonia, or Rahul Gandhi, severe reactions can be expected if they speak against their faith.

Sanjay issued a warning that when BJP members like Nupur Sharma and Hyderabad MLA Raja Singh were accused of hurting religious sentiments, the party suspended them. If I.N.D.I.A leaders fail to condemn Udayanidhi’s comments, it would be seen as betrayal by Hindus, and the consequences would be significant.

Kim Jong Un Plans Russia Visit: US Official Confirms Meeting:

An unnamed U.S. official revealed on Monday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is likely to travel to Russia soon to hold a meeting with President Vladimir Putin. This move comes as the Kremlin seeks to acquire military equipment for its involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.

The official, who requested anonymity when speaking to The Associated Press, mentioned that the U.S. anticipates Kim’s visit to occur within the current month. The specific location and timing of the meeting are yet to be confirmed, but the Pacific port city of Vladivostok is a probable choice due to its proximity to North Korea.

National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson pointed out that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu recently visited Pyongyang, attempting to persuade North Korea to supply artillery ammunition to Russia. Watson stated, “We have information suggesting that Kim Jong Un anticipates ongoing discussions, including diplomatic engagements in Russia.”

She emphasized the U.S.’s position, urging North Korea to discontinue arms negotiations with Russia and adhere to its public commitments of refraining from providing or selling arms to Russia. Shoigu mentioned on Monday that the two countries might conduct joint military exercises. The initial report of Kim’s plan to meet Putin in Russia this month was published by The New York Times.

Tourism Minister R.K. Roja has strongly criticized Nara Chandrababu Naidu, the leader of the Telugu Desam Party, accusing him of being a mentor to thieves and criminals in Andhra Pradesh. During a media interaction at the Guru Puja Usavam ceremony, the Minister asserted that Naidu was the architect behind instructing individuals in the art of embezzling public funds, and she claimed that Naidu had also extended this training to Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan.

In a comparative analogy, Roja likened Chandrababu Naidu to the renowned actor and producer Mohan Babu, stating that while Mohan Babu was often referred to as the “collection king” in the film industry, Chandrababu Naidu played a similar role as the “collection king” but in the context of siphoning state funds.

She raised questions about the lack of discussion within the Telugu Desam Party regarding the Income Tax notices that Chandrababu Naidu has received three times in connection with the Amaravati construction scandal. Roja called for a thorough investigation by both the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) and the Enforcement Directorate into the alleged corruption involving Chandrababu Naidu and his son Lokesh. Furthermore, the Tourism Minister alleged that assets worth thousands of crores were discovered at the residence of Chandrababu’s personal assistant, Srinivas. She urged Naidu to provide an explanation for such revelations.

Potential List Adjustments by BRS in Response to ONOE Legislation:

The BRS (Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi) has decided to revise its election strategy and expansion plans should simultaneous Assembly and Lok Sabha polls occur in April-May. According to party insiders, they are formulating a “Plan B,” which involves a review of the list of candidates initially announced for the Assembly elections, potentially transferring some of them to the Lok Sabha elections.

Even the party president and Chief Minister, K. Chandrashekar Rao’s intention to contest in two Assembly constituencies (Gajwel and Kamareddy) may be altered if the Assembly polls take place next year. While the Telangana Assembly elections were originally slated for December, the unexpected introduction of the “one nation, one election (ONOE)” concept by the central government has led the BRS leadership to speculate that the Telangana Assembly polls could be postponed until 2024.

Even if the implementation of “one nation, one election” experiences delays and challenges, the BRS leadership believes that the Centre might opt for concurrent Legislative Assembly elections in nine states, including Telangana, alongside the Lok Sabha elections in 2024 as a preliminary step toward the broader initiative.

The BRS leadership anticipates that the Centre may favor Assembly polls in these nine states along with the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.

Telangana HC Seeks Mediation in Rs 4 Cr Dispute:

The Telangana High Court has taken a significant step towards resolving a longstanding issue between the AP State Film, Television, and Theatre Development Corporation Limited and the Telangana state government, which involves approximately Rs 4 crore. In an effort to find an amicable solution, the court has recommended that the matter be submitted to mediation.

The crux of the matter lies in the corporation’s claim that the Telangana state government owes them a substantial sum of Rs 4,07,71,134 for the utilization of their building premises. Despite the corporation’s repeated attempts to settle this outstanding bill, the government has neither disputed the claim nor provided a response.

Recognizing the need for intervention and resolution, the Telangana High Court has appointed Justice Challa Kodanda Ram, a former judge of the Telangana Court, to mediate the dispute. Parties involved in the dispute have been directed to appear before Justice Challa Kodanda Ram on September 12 to begin the mediation process.

This decision by the court underscores the importance of finding equitable solutions to financial disputes, ensuring that all parties involved receive fair treatment and that outstanding financial obligations are met. Mediation offers a collaborative and less adversarial approach to resolving such matters, and it is hoped that this process will lead to a satisfactory resolution for both the AP State Film, Television, and Theatre Development Corporation Limited and the Telangana state government.

The outcome of the mediation will be eagerly awaited as it has the potential to set a precedent for resolving similar financial disputes in the future.

High Court: Scrutiny Required for Resident Certificates:

The Telangana High Court has instructed the state government to advise tahsildars to exercise caution when issuing permanent resident certificates to students who use them to claim local candidate quotas.

In a case heard by a division bench consisting of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice T. Vinod Kumar, concerns were raised about the necessity of granting resident certificates to students pursuing higher education in other states.

The court’s viewpoint is that certificates specifying a particular duration of the applicant’s stay cannot be classified as permanent home certificates.

This matter pertained to a group of students who filed petitions seeking directives for Kaloji Narayana Rao University for Health Sciences to acknowledge their resident certificates and grant them eligibility for local quotas. The university had denied them admission under the local candidate quota because their home certificates had a defined time frame.

Upon inquiry, A. Prabhakar Rao, counsel for the university, explained that resident certificates were issued to candidates who had relocated to Amarvati after the state’s bifurcation. These students had completed their education from Class Eight to Intermediate in Andhra Pradesh.

The court noted that it had recently issued orders to relax the local rule based on permanent residence certificates to ensure that no Telangana student would miss out on the local candidate quota. However, the court observed that the current situation was contradictory to its intent. Therefore, the court suggested that the tahsildar’s office should investigate the nativity and educational certificates of candidates before issuing such quota certificates. It directed Advocate-General B.S. Prasad to inform the government to issue guidelines to the relevant authorities responsible for issuing resident certificates.

Government Confirms Ongoing Investigation into NoC Scam:

In the High Court, the state government revealed that an ongoing departmental investigation is in progress regarding the alleged no objection certificate (NoC) scam involving a 5,262 square yard of land in Nanalnagar, Gudimalkapur.

Advocate-General B.S. Prasad informed that the inquiry has advanced with the examination of four witnesses, and the 85-year-old Shanti Agarwal, asserting ownership of the disputed land, is scheduled for examination on September 8. The Attorney-General further stated that officials aim to conclude the departmental investigation within a span of six weeks.

This legal matter reached the High Court through a series of appeals filed by senior IAS officer Navin Mittal, who serves as the principal secretary of revenue and chief commissioner of land affairs (CCLA), along with others. These appeals challenge the directives of a single court that initiated the departmental inquiry into the issuance of the NoC for the land.

Furthermore, the single judge’s ruling included the order for a case to be registered against private individuals Abdul Rub, Abdul Rukmuddin, and others. These individuals were accused of presenting falsified documents claiming ownership of the land and securing clearance from the NoC committee. Notably, Navin Mittal, then the Hyderabad collector in 2017, headed this committee.

In light of the pending appeals, the High Court had previously instructed the Advocate General to provide updates on the status of the departmental inquiry concerning both the authorities and the private individuals involved in the NoC issuance.

Under the regular protocol, shop dealers are required to acquire stocks by making payments through challans to the TS Beverages Corporation Ltd., with no credit facilities available. However, when numerous dealers faced financial constraints and were unable to purchase additional stocks, the government extended permission for them to procure wine against post-dated cheques.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, dealers have successfully purchased Rs 70 crore worth of stock on each of the three days since Tuesday.

Telangana launches India’s first robotics policy framework

Telangana leads the way with the first state robotics framework, aimed at establishing a sustainable robotics ecosystem and positioning the state as a leader in innovation, entrepreneurship, research, and development.

The Minister of Information Technology and Industries, The robotics framework was launched by K.T. Rama Rao, the Information Technology and Industries Minister, as the sixth framework by the Emerging Technologies Wing of the ITE&C Department.

The minister emphasized that Telangana has always recognized the significant role of technology in the development of a state and has prioritized the adoption of the latest technological advancements to encourage innovation.

Telangana established the Emerging Technologies Wing in 2017 to drive ecosystem development and government adoption of emerging technologies such as AI, Blockchain, Drones, Additive Manufacturing, IoT, Space Tech, Cloud, and Robotics.

Telangana has already released 5 policy frameworks on AI, Cloud, Blockchain, Drone, and SpaceTech, making it a pioneer in adopting emerging technologies and a role model for other states, according to the minister.

In collaboration with the All India Robotics Association, academia, industry experts, and stakeholders, the Emerging Technologies Wing has developed a comprehensive roadmap, the robotics framework, to promote the growth of the robotics industry in the state and contribute to the development of the industry in the country.

The framework aims to utilize robotics technology to promote growth and development in four domains – agriculture, healthcare, industrial automation, and consumer robotics.

One of the main aspects of the framework is the establishment of a Robo Park that will provide testing facilities, co-working spaces, and manufacturing options in partnership with industry, academia, and incubators, either on state-owned sites or at competitive rates.

A world-class robotics accelerator will also be established in the state, providing startups with the necessary incubation, infrastructure, authorization support, market insights, investor connections, and mentorship support.

The government has identified five key pillars to achieve the vision of the framework, including infrastructure access, business enablement, fostering research and innovation, human capital enhancement, and responsible deployment.

A separate entity named Telangana Robotics Innovation Center (TRIC) will be established by the state to oversee the implementation of the framework and act as a nodal point for executing the key pillars outlined in the framework.
