‘Even minor incidents prompt immediate denials from Pakistan today,’ says UP CM in poll campaign

New Delhi, April 9 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath continued his whirlwind campaign tour of Pilibhit, Rampur, and Hapur constituencies in Uttar Pradesh, evoking multiple responses from the people.

He said, “Earlier, Pakistan’s provocations were met with silence, but today, even minor incidents prompt immediate denials from Islamabad.”

Addressing a public meeting in Rampur, Yogi Adityanath said that before 2014, Pakistan used to carry out blasts in India and get away while today the country starts clarifying even when a firecracker explodes.

He remarked: “The era of passivity towards terrorism is over. Formerly, Pakistan’s provocations were met with silence, but today, even minor incidents prompt immediate denials from Pakistan. The nation’s stance has evolved significantly, showcasing a resolute response to threats, including swift airstrikes.”

Addressing a public meeting in Pilibhit, UP CM said that the birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev was once part of united India but because of Congress’ ‘devious tactics’, it’s no longer there after India’s unfortunate partition seven decades ago. He however praised the Kartarpur Corridor, built under the Modi government.

“Prime Minister Modi has initiated the Veer Bal Diwas celebration on December 26th, commemorating the valour of the four Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh,” he stated.

The Chief Minister also lauded India’s remarkable progress towards global eminence under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, hailing it as a ‘Golden Era’.

He emphasised: “The transformative changes are clearly evident across the country in terms of enhanced security, rapid infrastructural development and the benefits of welfare schemes reaching the underprivileged.”

“Sugarcane price payments to farmers are now being made promptly, in a stark contrast to the previous practice of delays spanning several years, thanks to PM Modi’s leadership,” Yogi added.

“It is due to the electorate’s trust in Modi ji’s leadership in 2014 and 2019 that we witness a transformative India today,” he pointed out.

Chief Minister also stressed the importance of voting wisely to prevent governments involved in corruption, jeopardising national security and the future of our youth, indulging terrorists with biryani, inciting unrest, and driving farmers to despair from coming to power.

The Chief Minister said that in the past candidates used to disappear from public view soon after winning elections and used to talk about their families rather than development. He highlighted the transformative approach of BJP’s Ghanshyam Lodhi, who, “driven by his simplicity, dedicated himself to Rampur’s progress.”

“The NDA alliance secured victories in four out of five assembly seats in Rampur, with all elected representatives actively engaged in implementing developmental initiatives,” Yogi added.

Addressing a public meeting to seek votes for BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate from Amroha, Kanwar Singh Tanwar, Yogi said that the SP and BSP governments patronized cow smugglers and failed to provide both electricity and security to the people.

He remarked: “In the past, thieves would brazenly steal cows tied outside homes without consequence, and police would be mobilised to locate a buffalo belonging to a Samajwadi Party leader from Rampur. Farmers received no assistance when their cattle were stolen.”

He emphasised that the SP and BSP preferred darkness. Today, there are improved provisions for electricity and security without discrimination.

Yogi Adityanath also appealed to people not to repeat the mistake made last time, by electing someone who was ashamed of chanting ‘Bharat Mata’ in the Parliament.

A 3.2 magnitude tremor struck Gujarat’s Kutch district on Wednesday morning, according to the Institute of Seismological Research (ISR).

The district administration reported no casualties or property damage following the quake.

The tremor occurred at 10:24 am, with its epicenter located 23 kilometers north-northeast (NNE) of Bhachau, as per the Gandhinagar-based ISR.

Last month, the region experienced four seismic events exceeding a magnitude of 3, including a 3.2 magnitude tremor just three days ago, with its epicenter also near Bhachau.

Earlier tremors in the area included a 3.7 magnitude earthquake on December 23 and a 3.2 magnitude event on December 7, according to ISR reports.

Kutch was also jolted by a 4.0 magnitude earthquake on November 18, 2024. On November 15, a 4.2 magnitude quake hit Patan in north Gujarat, based on ISR data.

Gujarat is considered a high-risk earthquake zone, having experienced nine major earthquakes over the past 200 years, according to the Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority (GSDMA). The 2001 earthquake in Kutch, which occurred on January 26, was the third-largest and second-most destructive in India in the last two centuries, according to the GSDMA.

Diljit Dosanjh faces legal action over concert songs

Published

on

Singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh’s much-anticipated New Year’s Eve concert in Ludhiana faced legal hurdles after a complaint was filed by Punditrao Dharenavar, an assistant professor from Chandigarh.

Following the complaint, the Deputy Director of the Women and Child Department, Government of Punjab, issued a formal notice to Ludhiana’s District Commissioner, urging them to prohibit Dosanjh from performing specific songs during his live show on December 31, 2024.

The notice specifically targets songs accused of promoting alcohol, including Patiala Peg, 5 Tara Theke, and Case (Jeeb Vicho Feem Labbiya), even if the lyrics are slightly modified. The complaint points to previous warnings issued to Dosanjh by various commissions advising against performing these controversial tracks.

Despite these warnings, the singer allegedly continues to perform the songs with minor alterations. Dharenavar raised serious concerns about the influence of such music on young audiences, especially when minors are present at live events.

Adding to the controversy, Dharenavar referenced a 2019 Punjab and Haryana High Court ruling, which directed law enforcement to ensure that songs promoting alcohol, drugs, or violence are not played at public events, including concerts. This ruling underscores the legal basis for the complaint and has further intensified the scrutiny surrounding the event.

Suchir Balaji’s mother alleges Murder

Suchir Balaji’s mother alleges Murder

The mother of Suchir Balaji, a 26-year-old former OpenAI researcher found dead after accusing the company of copyright violations, has alleged that her son was “murdered” and called for a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe.

Poornima Rao, Suchir’s mother, claimed her son’s death was a “cold-blooded murder” that authorities wrongly ruled as suicide. She further disclosed that a private autopsy report conflicted with the findings of the initial police investigation.

Rao alleged that her son’s apartment had been “ransacked” and cited evidence of a struggle in the bathroom, including bloodstains that suggested he had been assaulted.

“We hired a private investigator and conducted a second autopsy to uncover the truth. The private autopsy does not confirm the cause of death stated by the police. Suchir’s apartment was ransacked, there were signs of a struggle in the bathroom, and it appears he was hit based on blood spots. This is a cold-blooded murder being misclassified as a suicide. Lobbying in San Francisco won’t deter us from seeking justice. We demand an FBI investigation,” Rao wrote on X.

Elon Musk reacted to Rao’s post, commenting, “This doesn’t seem like a suicide.”

Balaji was discovered dead in his San Francisco apartment months after accusing OpenAI of violating copyright laws during the development of ChatGPT, as reported by Fox News. Despite these claims, the San Francisco Police Department found no evidence of foul play and ruled the death a suicide.

On October 24, shortly before his death, Balaji voiced doubts about the “fair use” defense in generative artificial intelligence. “I recently participated in a NYT story about fair use and generative AI, and why I’m skeptical ‘fair use’ would be a plausible defense for a lot of generative AI products,” he wrote on X.
