Kuala Lumpur [Malaysia], June 1 (ANI): BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi, who is part of the JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha-led delegation visiting key global capital including Malaysia to highlight India's stand on terorrism said that a series of air strikes carried by Indian armed forces across Pakistan were codenamed as operation Sindoor after terrorists gunned down husbands of sisters which led to the removal of vermilion markfrom their forehead.
'The sisters put vermilion on their heads and the terrorists come from afar and they gunned down their husbands in front of their family and that leads to the removal of the vermilion mark from their forehead and that's why this particular offensive launched by India was named Operation Sindoor,' Sarangi said.
She also boasted about India being the 'largest democracy' in the world.
'All of us sitting here deserve congratulations because we belong to India, the largest democracy in the world. We deserve congratulations because we are the fourth-largest economy in the world, surpassing Japan, and we will be the third-largest economy in the world in the next 2.5-3 years,' she said.
The delegation on Sunday highlighted that terrorists attempted to create communal disharmony in India through the Pahalgam terror attack by targeting specific groups, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
While interacting with the Indian diaspora in Kuala Lumpur, Jha showcased India's resilience and unity in the face of terrorism sponsored by Pakistan.'... In Pahalagam, they segregated on our religious lines to create communal disharmony in the country. But nothing such happened in India...,' said Jha.
Jha also shared details about Pakistan's attempt to establish a ceasefire, stating that the Pakistan DGMO tried to contact India's DGMO in the morning. However, due to a hotline issue, the message was conveyed through the Pakistan embassy in India.
The delegation, led by Jha, is on a visit to partner countries to reinforce India's firm resolve against cross-border terrorism and its zero-tolerance policy. So far, they have visited Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore.
The delegation includes BJP MPs Brij Lal, Pradan Baruah, Hemang Joshi, and Aparajita Sarangi; Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee; CPI-M's John Brittas; Congress leader and former Union minister Salman Khurshid; and Mohan Kumar. (ANI)

India sets date of population and caste census

The government had earlier announced inclusion of caste census in population survey. - Representational photo NEW DELHI: The world's most populous nation India will conduct a census in 2027, its first since 2011, the government said Wednesday (June 4), which will also count caste -- a controversial accounting not done since the country's independence. "It has been decided to conduct Population Census-2027 in two phases along with enumeration of castes," the Ministry of Home Affairs said in a statement. Most of the vast nation will take part in the census on March 1, 2027, but for the high-altitude Himalayan regions, the counting will take place earlier before snow sets in -- on October 1, 2026. Those areas include the states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, as well as in Ladakh, and the contested region of Jammu and Kashmir. Caste remains a crucial determinant of one's station in life in India, with a rigid societal chasm dividing those of higher castes -- the beneficiaries of ingrained cultural privileges -- from people of lower castes, who suffer entrenched discrimination. More than two-thirds of India's 1.4 billion people are estimated to be on the lower rungs of a millennia-old social hierarchy that divides Hindus by function and social standing. The decision to include detailed caste data as part of the next census -- originally due in 2021 -- was approved by a government meeting headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May. Caste data was last collected as part of the official census exercise in 1931, during British colonial rule that ended with Indian independence 16 years later. Successive governments have since resisted updating the sensitive demographic data, citing administrative complexity and fears of social unrest. A caste survey was conducted in 2011 but its results were never made public because they were purportedly inaccurate. That survey was separate from the 2011 general census, the last time India collected demographic data. - AFP
