Lalu Yadav defamed Bihar in India and abroad with fodder scam: Amit Shah
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday launched a scathing attack on RJD chief Lalu Prasad, accusing him of defaming Bihar in India and abroad with the fodder scam. Addressing a Cooperative Department event at Bapu Sabhagar in Patna, he asked, "What did Lalu Prasad do for the poor?" Stepping up the attack, the Union Minister said, "Lalu and Rabri governments will be remembered for jungleraj, lawlessness and corruption." He also shared: "Under PM Awas Yojana, 40 lakh houses have been built, ensuring a better life for the people of Bihar. But what was the situation in Bihar under RJD rule? Extortion, jungle raj, hooliganism, dacoity, kidnapping, and ransom demands were prevalent in the state. The RJD government was riddled with scams..." The Union Cooperation Minister also highlighted the achievements of the NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar. "RJD's 'Jungle Raj' will be remembered as a dark period in the state's history," he said. He asserted that whenever the RJD government came to power in Bihar, it led to the state's "downfall", while under the NDA rule, it developed. Contrasting funding for Bihar during the UPA and NDA governments, he said: "Under Lalu's tenure as a union minister in United Progressive Alliance, Bihar received Rs 2.8 lakh crore from the Centre while under PM Modi's 10-year rule at the Centre, the state has received Rs 9.23 lakh crore, significantly more." He promised that if the NDA is re-elected in the 2025 Assembly polls, it will reopen the sugar mills. The Union Minister also announced that the NDA will contest the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections under Nitish Kumar's leadership. He urged voters to re-elect the NDA with a huge majority, promising further development and stability in Bihar. Earlier in the day, he inaugurated and laid foundation stones for various schemes worth more than Rs 800 crore in Patna. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

Delhi: Morning Aarti held at Jhandewalan temple as Chaitra Navratri begin
The Chaitra Navratri festival began on Sunday with a morning aarti at the iconic Jhandewalan Temple, where Goddess Durga was worshipped as Mata Shailputri on Day 1. Neetu, a devotee who attended the morning aarti at the Jhandewalan temple, said she arrived at 4 am for the aarti and had a very good darshan. "We came here to attend the morning aarti at 4 am. We had a very good 'Darshan'. May Goddes bless all," she said. Priest Ambika Prasad Pant of Jhandewalan Temple explained that on the first day of Chaitra Navratri, Goddess Durga is worshipped in the form of Shailputri. "Today is the first day of Chaitra Navratri. Today, Goddess Durga is worshipped in the form of Shailputri. She is called Shailputri because she is believed to be the daughter of Himalaya," he said. Jhandewalan Temple Trustee Ravindra Goel extended his wishes for Navratri and the Hindu New Year while ensuring that arrangements for a pleasant darshan experience had been made. "Greetings to everyone on the occasion of Navratri and a new year. Huge numbers of devotees come to the Jhandewalan Temple during the Navratris celebration here. We have made various facilities for the devotees so that they may enjoy having Darshan here," he said.

In India, Navratri is celebrated in various forms and traditions. The nine-day festival, also known as Ram Navratri, concludes on Ram Navami, which marks the birthday of Lord Ram. Throughout the festival, all nine days are devoted to honoring the nine incarnations of goddess 'Shakti.' The festival is celebrated with great devotion across India, with rituals and prayers honouring the goddess in her various forms. Akashvani's Aradhana YouTube Channel will present a series of special programs from March 30 to April 6 for Navratri.

These renditions will be aired from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM every day. "Devi Maa Ke Anek Swaroop, a unique series narrating inspiring stories on Navratri, will be broadcast daily from 9:00 AM to 9:30 AM. The channel will also present special features on various Shakti Peeths across the country, providing listeners with deeper insights into the sacred sites dedicated to Goddess Durga," the release read. The Navratri celebrations will culminate in a grand live program on Ram Janmotsav, directly from Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, Ayodhya. This special broadcast will take place on April 6 from 11:45 AM to 12:15 PM, bringing the divine festivities to audiences across the nation.

One arrested for vandalising Veer Tejaji Maharaj statue in Jaipur, says Police
One person has been arrested in connection with the vandalism of the statue of Veer Tejaji Maharaj, a revered folk deity in Rajasthan, police said. Speaking to ANI, Jaipur Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Tejaswani Gautam said, "More than 10 teams of our worked and arrested the accused Siddharth Singh. He runs a cafe in Raja Park." "He said that he was mentally disturbed because his work was not going well, so when he saw the temple and offered prayer there, he got angry in frustration and vandalised the statue. The accused was immediately traced out and arrested within a few hours," DCP Gautam said. Meanwhile, a wave of unrest swept through Jaipur's Pratap Nagar area after a statue of Veer Tejaji Maharaj, a revered folk deity in Rajasthan, was allegedly vandalised by unidentified miscreants late Friday night. The incident sparked outrage among locals, who took to the streets on Saturday, hampering the vehicular movement on the busy Tonk Road as a mark of dissent. In response to the rising tensions, Jaipur Police deployed forces across sensitive zones. Additional Police Commissioner Rameshwar Choudhary confirmed that the situation was under control and peaceful as of Saturday afternoon. "The condition is peaceful here now and some miscreants were arrested. The matter is being investigated. I appeal to the public to maintain peace and the accused will soon be arrested," Choudhary said. Deputy Commissioner of Police Tejaswini Gautam added that police teams responded immediately upon receiving information about the incident. "Police reached the spot immediately after the information about the incident was received. FIR was registered, and multiple teams have been deployed to investigate who is responsible. Some miscreants tried to spread fire into the petrol pump (nearby) and were removed using some force. Some of them have been detained, and the action is being taken as per law," he said. The act of desecration drew strong political condemnation. Rajasthan Minister Sumit Godara condemned the incident and said, "I condemn this incident. Some anti-social elements are trying to disturb social harmony, but I appeal to everyone to maintain peace, and the government will take strict action against the culprits..." In addition, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot issued a statement, calling the vandalism "extremely condemnable." In a post on X, he wrote, "The incident of breaking the statue of Veer Tejaji Maharaj in Pratap Nagar, Jaipur, is extremely condemnable. This kind of tampering with public sentiments and faith is unacceptable." "There is a demand from the government that the culprits of this case should be identified immediately and strict action should be taken against them. Also, effective and strong arrangements should be made to ensure the safety of religious places so that such incidents do not recur in future," read the statement further. Veer Tejaji Maharaj is deeply respected in Rajasthan, especially among the farming community, and any perceived disrespect to his legacy is seen as an insult to cultural sentiments.

Sex on webcam: ED busts Noida couple’s porn racket, invokes FEMA
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided the premises of a Noida-based couple who allegedly shot adult videos with models at their residence and supplied those to a Cyprus-based company known for hosting international pornographic sites. The federal probe agency said in a statement that it seized Rs 8 lakh in cash during the searches undertaken under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) in connection with a probe against Subdigi Ventures Private Limited and its promoters. The company is “controlled” by the couple. They are alleged to have been running a “sophisticated” adult webcam streaming studio from their residence and these videos were shared with a Cyprus-based company named Technius Limited. Technius Limited is the “operator” of adult entertainment websites like Xhamster and Stripchat, the ED said. “Foreign remittances were regularly received by the company (Subdigi) and its directors under the guise of services like advertising, market research and public opinion polling. These funds, however, were allegedly proceeds from adult content streamed on XHamster,” it said. This amounted to a violation of the FEMA as the funds were being received as remuneration for adult content service, which is unlawful, ED sources said. Illegal remittances of R15.66 crore have been identified in the bank accounts of the said company and its directors, apart from an “undisclosed” bank account in the Netherlands where an amount of about R7 crore was transferred by Technius Limited, according to the ED. The credits in the foreign bank account were found to be withdrawn in cash in India with the use of international debit cards. The couple “retained” about 75 per cent of the earnings and passed on “only a fraction” to the models, the agency said. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

Waqf (Amendment) Bill should be called ‘looters (amendment) law’: Owaisi
Coming down heavily on the NDA government in the Centre over the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday alleged that the bill should be called a “looters (amendment) law” as the BJP-led regime wants to take away Waqf properties. Referring to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s reported remarks that one cannot approach courts against the waqf tribunal, Owaisi alleged that Shah was “lying”. Owaisi, who has been a vocal critic of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, alleged that it violates several provisions of the Constitution, including Articles 14, 26 and 29. “The BJP and NDA government are doing the work of looters. They want to snatch away waqf properties. Why are you removing the survey commissioner (as per the proposed bill). It is senior most officer’s post. This is all for looting. It should not be called as Waqf (Amendment) but ‘looters (amendment) law’,” Owaisi said. He also said there are several tribunals, including the Income Tax tribunal and railway claims tribunal, and review petitions can be filed against its judgments in high court. “Cannot you file (review petition) against the Income Tax tribunal? Amit Shah is misleading the country and lying,” the AIMIM chief said. Shah made it clear on Friday that the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, which was referred to a joint parliamentary committee in August 2024, will be reintroduced in the current session of Parliament.
