ಲೋಕಸಭೆ ಚುನಾವಣೆ: ಆಂಧ್ರಪ್ರದೇಶಡ್ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಅರೆನ ಸುರುತ್ತಾ ರ್ಯಾಲಿ

Amaravati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Sunday evening address a grand National Democratic Alliance rally ‘Prajagalam,’ (the voice of the public) in Palnadu district, the first joint public meeting of NDA partners in Andhra Pradesh after ten years. Modi will be joined by TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu and Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan in the public meeting, and this is the first time all the three leaders will share the stage in a rally for the 2024 polls.

Named Prajagalam, the meeting will mark the first NDA election meeting in Andhra Pradesh in the run-up to the simultaneous Legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha polls scheduled on May 13.

Janasena said Prajagalam is aimed at “chasing away atrocious politics” for the golden future of Andhra Pradesh. The TDP, Janasena and BJP are mobilising their cadres in large numbers for the meeting.

In preparation for the meeting, the TDP released a special logo featuring the images of Modi, Naidu and Kalyan. The NDA partners finalised their seat-sharing formula for the Lok Sabha and state polls following a marathon discussion held at Naidu’s Andhra Pradesh residence in Undavalli on March 11, under which the BJP will contest six Lok Sabha and 10 assembly seats while the TDP will fight in 17 parliamentary and 144 state seats.

The Janasena has announced seven candidates so far, with Kalyan fighting the assembly election from Pithapuram constituency. The BJP is yet to announce its list of its candidates for the polls.

Naidu said days ago that under the dynamic and visionary leadership of PM Modi, the BJP, Janasena and TDP have decided to contest the Lok Sabha and assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh together.

“We are committed to the progress and development of Andhra Pradesh and the upliftment of the people of our state. We are committed to the development of our nation, aspiring for India to rise as a global leader,” he had said.

Naidu said the NDA partners agreed to make the interests of the state and its future the utmost priority and a key driving factor during seat-sharing discussions. According to a schedule shared by the TDP, Modi is expected to land at Gannavaram Airport by 4.10 pm after embarking on a special flight from Delhi.

The PM will take a helicopter from Gannavaram Airport to reach Palnadu district and he will arrive at the meeting venue in Boppudi village around 5 pm. From 5 pm to 6 pm, the prime minister will take part in the election meeting, after which he will depart for Hyderabad.

ಗುಜರಾತ್ ಹಾಸ್ಟೆಲ್‌ದ ಉಲೈ ನಮಾಜ್ ಮಲ್ತೊಂದಿತ್ತಿನ ಪರ ಊರುದ‌ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಲೆನ ಮಿತ್ತ್ ಗುಂಪು ಹಲ್ಲೆ ಮಲ್ದ್ಂಡ್

Ahmedabad: A mob carrying sticks and knives stormed a Gujarat University hostel and attacked foreign students from African countries, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan for allegedly offering namaz. The incident took place when students gathered inside the hostel to offer a namaz offered at night during Ramazan. The angry mob not only attacked the students but also damaged their laptops, phones and bikes.

The videos from the Gujarat University campus have been shared widely on social media. In the viral videos, the unidentified men can be seen attacking the students kicking their two-wheelers and damaging them. LiveMint couldn’t independently verify the authenticity of the videos.

The videos shared on social media also show accused people throwing stones at the hostel and hurling abuses at the foreign students. Whereas, students can be heard saying that they are “scared” and that what happened “is unacceptable”

Neerajkumar Badgujar, the additional commissioner of police (crime) for Ahmedabad city, confirmed that an FIR has been filed and assured that the attackers will be arrested soon. About the injured foreign students, Badgujar said only one remains hospitalised, while the others have already been treated and discharged.

“Last night around 11 pm, 10-15 persons from outside came into our hostel campus. Three of them entered our hostel building while we were offering namaz. They told us we were not allowed to do so here and shouted slogans of Jai Shri Ram. They pushed the security guard out and then attacked the people offering namaz. When other non-Muslim foreign national students came to our help, they were also attacked. Their rooms were ransacked, and laptops, mobile phones and mirrors were damaged. Five students, including two from South Africa and one each from Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Sri Lanka, have been injured,” recounted a student from Afghanistan who was present during the incident. The student claimed that the police reached the spot after the intruders had fled.

Gujarat home minister Harsh Sanghavi has convened an urgent meeting with senior officials, including the director general of police (DGP) of Gujarat Police and the joint commissioner of police (JCP) of the crime branch, to address the matter, said an official.

Gujarat University police station PI SR Bava said they were investigating the matter and refused to divulge more details at this stage. The five injured students have been shifted to SVP Hospital.

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi moves Supreme Court against CAA implementation

ಎಐಎಐಎಂ ಮುಖ್ಯಸ್ಥ ಅಸಾದುದ್ದೀನ್ ಓವೈಸಿ ಆರ್ ಸಿಎಎ ನ್ ಜಾರಿ ಮಲ್ದಿನ ವಿಚಾರನ್ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಮಲ್ತ್ದ್ ಸುಪ್ರೀಂ ಕೋರ್ಟ್ಗ್ ಅರ್ಜಿ ಪಾಡ್ದೆರ್.

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen(AIAIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on March 16 approached the Supreme Court seeking to stay the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019 and the Rules, 2024. The Centre on March 11 implemented the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, notifying the rules four years after the contentious law was passed by Parliament to fast-track citizenship for undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who came to India before December 31, 2014.

Owaisi said no applications seeking grant of citizenship status be entertained or processed by the government under Section 6B of the Citizenship Act,1955 (as it stands amended by the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019) during the pendency of the proceedings.

Owaisi claimed that CAA should be seen together with NPR (National Population Register) and NRC (National Register of Citizens).

Stating that he is not against giving citizenship to Hindus and Sikhs from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, he said, “You are making this law, because, when you do NPR and NRC in the country in the future, you want to make the 17 crore Muslims in India stateless,” he alleged. The people of Hyderabad would vote against the CAA and defeat BJP in the elections, Owaisi said.
