  • India To Be Free Of Naxal Menace By 2026, Time For Final Assault: Amit Shah |

    RAIPUR: India will be free from Left Wing Extremism (LWE) by March 2026 and a strong and ruthless strategy is required for the final assault against the menace, Union Home Minister Amit Shah asserted on Saturday. The minister stated this during a press conference here after he along with Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and senior central and police officers reviewed the Maoist issue in the state and adjoining areas.

    Urging Naxals to shun violence, Shah announced that the Chhattisgarh government would announce a “new look” surrender policy in 1-2 months. “A strong and ruthless strategy is required for launching the last assault against Naxals,” he said.

    The home minister said Naxal violence is a challenge to democracy and the menace has claimed about 17,000 lives in the country. He said there was a 53 per cent drop in Naxal incidents during 2014-24 as compared to 2004-14.

    It is time to deal the final blow to the problem of Left Wing Extremism with a strong strategy, Shah said. The minister said the government has been working to fill the security vacuum in LWE-hit areas and the security personnel have undertaken operations along with development works.

    He said that besides the security forces, central agencies like NIA and ED have also worked to dismantle Maoist finances. “We believe we will be able to free the country from Left Wing Extremism by March 2026,” Shah said.

    Asked about the now-scrapped Article 370, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir, the home minister said that the provision will not be restored ever.

    On the probability of starting the delayed decadal census, Shah said it would be carried out at an appropriate time.

  • Amit Shah Visit CG: Amit Shah reached Raipur, will hold a meeting with CS and DGP of 7 states, strategy will be made on the elimination of Naxalites

    Amit Shah Visit CG: Prateek Chauhan. Home Minister of the country Amit Shah has returned to Raipur after visiting Champaran Dham. Here, under the chairmanship of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in an interstate coordination meeting with the Chief Secretaries and Directors General of Police of Chhattisgarh and 7 neighboring states, a concrete strategy will be prepared for the next four to six months.

    There will also be a discussion on accelerating the development work in the meeting on security and development in the Naxal areas of Chhattisgarh from 2.30 pm. In both the meetings, a presentation will also be given by the Chhattisgarh government on the development work being done in the Naxal areas of the state and the anti-Naxal campaign.

    Top Naxal leaders and military companies will now be the target

    Experts say that the focus of the Central and Chhattisgarh governments is now on eliminating or weakening the remaining strength of the Naxalites in Bastar. Now the big leaders of the Naxalites and the military companies and battalions of the Maoists will be the target of the security forces. Because these groups are still active.

    Preparations are on to complete this task through joint efforts of all the intelligence agencies of the central and state governments and security forces. It is worth mentioning that in the last few years, the police have achieved many successes against the Naxalites, but the expected success in arresting any member of their central committee or any big leader or in seizing a large quantity of their weapons has not been achieved.

    Officials who have been observing the Naxalites for years believe that the real strength of the Maoists is their military companies, which consist of trained fighters armed with AK-47, INSAS and LMG looted from the forces. Two battalions of the Naxalites, considered to be powerful, are still active in the forests from Sukma, Bijapur to Narayanpur. Sources say that now the focus of the central government is on breaking the back of the Naxalites.

  • Post-BJP Loss, Amit Shah Brands Uddhav Thackeray ‘Aurangzeb Fan Club’ Leader |

    Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday, labeling him as the head of the ‘Aurangzeb Fan Club.’ Shah also criticized NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, calling him the ‘sargana’ (ringleader) who has entrenched corruption in the country. 

    Shah accused Thackeray of consistently aligning with questionable figures, saying, “Who is the Aurangzeb fan club? Those who serve biryani to (26/11 terror attack convict) Kasab, those who seek pardon for Yakub Memon, those who give (controversial Islamic preacher) Zakir Naik a messenger of peace award and those who support the (banned Islamist outfit) PFI. Uddhav Thackeray should be ashamed of sitting with these people.” 

    He asserted that this ‘Aurangzeb fan club’ cannot secure this country. “Only the Bharatiya Janata Party can ensure the country’s safety. The BJP is the only party capable of securing Maharashtra,” Home Minister added. 

    This isn’t the first instance of Shah publicly criticizing the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief. During the Lok Sabha elections, he accused Thackeray of abandoning ideology in favor of power. 

    In a harsh speech, Shah also criticized Rahul Gandhi for his “arrogance” despite the Congress party’s repeated losses in the Lok Sabha elections. 

    This is Amit Shah’s first visit to Maharashtra following the BJP’s significant setback in the recent Lok Sabha elections, where the party’s seat count dropped from 23 in 2019 to just 9.

    The meeting was held at the Ministry of Home Affairs as fresh violence was reported in the northern state.

    The northeastern state has been witnessing ethnic violence since May 3 last year following clashes during a rally organised by the All Tribals Students Union (ATSU) to protest against the demand for the inclusion of the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribe category.

    In fresh violence, several houses belonging to both Meitei and Kuki communities were burned by unknown miscreants in Kotlen following the murder of a person earlier this month, the Manipur Police said.

    Around 600 people from Manipur’s Jiribam area are now taking shelter in Assam’s Cachar district following fresh violence reported in Manipur’s Jiribam area.

    The Cachar district police have heightened security along the bordering areas.

  • Congress Surrenders 2024 Elections? BJP’s Shah, Nadda Criticises Exit Poll Boycott |

    Congress’ Exit Poll Debate Boycott: The BJP has showered the Congress party with cutting remarks since the grand old party announced its decision to not participate in the exit poll debates shows. Home Minister Amit Shah took a dig at Rahul Gandhi saying that his party is in ‘denial mode’. He added that this shows that the opposition has conceded its defeat. 

    Affirming confidence in the exit polls Shah said that the exit poll will showcase the saffron party alliance getting the ‘400-paar’ remark. The Congress does not have the courage to take questions from the media, so it is dismissing the entire exit poll exercise as meaningless, he added. 

    He further said that the Congress campaigned through the polls claiming it would get a majority. However, it now realizes the reality and knows it faces a rout in the exit polls to be broadcast after the elections tomorrow.  

    कांग्रेस को अपनी प्रचंड हार का पता चल गया है, तो अब किस मुँह से मीडिया और जनता को फेस करे? इसलिए, कांग्रेस एग्जिट पोल से भाग रही है।

    On the other hand, BJP national president JP Nadda took to social media platform ‘X’ to denounce Congress’ exit poll boycott, he wrote, “Let no one in Phase 7 waste their vote on them.” Nadda said that the resolution of the ‘largest political party in the opposition’ to skip exit poll debates signifies a clear acknowledgment from the opposition party that it has surrendered the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. 

    He questioned whether the Congress was suggesting that there existed a large conspiracy involving millions of voters, all aimed at ridiculing the party when the actual results were revealed on June 4th. He remarked that it didn’t suit India’s oldest political party to act like a child whose toy had been taken away. He further added that one would anticipate a certain level of maturity from the largest political party in the opposition.

    Congress’s decision to not participate in Exit Polls, on the eve of Phase 7 polling, is an unequivocal confirmation that the Congress has conceded the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. It is not surprising, since the Congress usually opts out when it doesn’t expect results to go in its…

    Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Tuesday that it is increasingly evident that the Narendra Modi government is about to fall and that the INDIA bloc will take power on June 4 as each round of the Lok Sabha elections comes to an end. Speaking at a virtual press conference, Kejriwal declared that the INDIA bloc will provide the nation with a stable government. “With each passing poll phase, it is becoming clearer that the Modi government is on its way out and the INDIA bloc will come to power on June 4,” he stated.

    During their Monday poll rallies in Delhi, the chief minister alleged that Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, and Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, had abused him.

    He criticised Shah, saying, “You have been chosen by the prime minister as your heir, so you are arrogant.” “You have not yet become Prime Minister.” “You stated that Kejriwal has no support in India and more supporters in Pakistan.You can abuse me, but do not curse the people of this country. “No one will tolerate you cursing the public,” Kejriwal said.

    The chief minister’s reaction followed a statement made by Shah at a rally the day before while campaigning for his party’s candidate in the South Delhi constituency, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri. “Kejriwal and Rahul [Gandhi] have no support in India; their supporters are in Pakistan,” the home minister stated.

Under this initiative, the Ministry of Cooperation has recognized the imperative need for a robust database to capture vital information about India’s vast cooperative sector.

    Collaborating with state governments, National Federations and stakeholders, a National Cooperative database has been developed to foster a cooperative-centric economic model, said the Ministry of Cooperation. Around 1,400 participants including Secretaries and other senior officers of central ministries and departments, additional chief secretaries and principal secretaries of cooperation from states and UTs, Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCSs), cooperative societies, and cooperative federations and unions across the country will attend the event. A technical workshop will be organized in the forenoon session to brief and enlighten the participants about the use and application of the National Cooperative Database (NCD) and its potential to improve the cooperative landscape in India.

    The launch of the National Cooperative Database (NCD) will be a milestone in the cooperative sector. The growth of cooperatives in rural areas holds the promise of addressing economic, social, and community challenges, empowering individuals, alleviating poverty, and contributing to the overall well-being of rural communities. This initiative signifies a positive transformation at the grassroots level, aligning with the vision of a prosperous and ‘AtmaNirbhar Bharat.

    The data of cooperatives was collected on the National Cooperative Database in a phased manner from the various stakeholders.

    In the second phase, data of various National Federations, State Federations, State cooperative banks (StCB), District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs), Urban Cooperative Banks (UCBs), State Cooperative Agriculture and Rural Development Bank (SCARDB), Primary Cooperative Agriculture and Rural Development Bank (PCARDB), Sugar Cooperative Mills, District Unions and Multi State Cooperative Societies (MSCS) were collected and mapped.

    In the third phase, data of more than 5.3 lakh primary cooperative societies was mapped from all the remaining other sectors through the office of state, UTs RCS, and DRCS offices.
