The former Kunkuri legislator says his Facebook account was hacked and he didn't post the remark.
The post on Minj's FB page discussed possible scenarios following an India-Pakistan war, mentioned 'pressure from China', and suggested that 'those eager for war with Pakistan should be recruited as Agniveers and sent to the frontlines'.
The post triggered a wave of criticism with social media users calling Minj a 'traitor' and targeting Congress as well.

Amid the backlash, Minj issued a statement: "Dear friends, my Facebook account was recently hacked. During this time, certain activities occurred from my account which were beyond my control and may have caused misunderstandings. I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. I have contacted Facebook Support to resolve the issue and am taking all necessary steps to secure my account."
BJP
wasn't convinced by the clarification. "It has become a tradition to spark a controversy through a social media post and then claim the account was hacked. Minj or anyone shouldn't say or do anything that goes against the sensitivity of the issue," said BJP's Ajay Chandrakar on the matter.

CM has lost control of govt depts, should resign: Ashu
Ludhiana: Congress bypoll candidate Bharat Bhushan Ashu claimed that chief minister Bhagwant Singh Mann had lost control of government departments and should resign. Reacting to allegations of him having arranged the Vigilance summons himself using "his friend," VB SSP Jagatpreet Singh, to gain sympathy, Ashu said, "If that is really true, then don't you think Bhagwant Mann, who is the chief minister and heads the home and Vigilance departments, deserves to resign as he has no control over his own departments?" He added, "Right now the AAP candidate is in third place, and you never know, his fortunes may dip further to fourth place." He also claimed that the AAP candidate confided to his close aides that he had taken an unnecessary plunge into electoral politics. To a question that CM Mann justified the appointment of outsiders at various positions in the Punjab government by saying that talented people from one place can be posted at other places, Ashu asked the CM, "Tell us whether there was ever any appointment of any Punjabi from Punjab in Delhi during the 15 years of AAP rule there." Accusing AAP of exploiting resources of Punjab, Ashu equated the situation with the plunder unleashed during the invasion by Ahmad Shah Abdali. "Their only aim and purpose today is to loot and rob as much as they can, knowing well that their time is up but let it be clear to them that they will be held accountable for each and every penny they looted and robbed from Punjab," he said. Ashu also accused the AAP government of framing rivals. "You implicated people like me in false cases. Just remember that the cycle of justice does take a full turn and everybody will be held accountable," he asserted. Asked to comment on AAP and BJP candidates, Ashu said, "It is for the people of Ludhiana to decide and judge, and I leave it to their judgement by presenting my case in front of them."

Mark Carney was slammed on social media for his Eid message. Prime Minister Mark Carney was trolled on X for his speech at an Eid al-Adha celebration hosted by the Muslim Association of Canada. "The message of Eid resonates in this room, across this city, and it should resonate with all Canadians. .. the lessons and values of Eid are the same. Our Canada is a diverse country, proud home to different beliefs, different languages and different cultures. Those are differences that make us unique, and make us strong. We can pray differently but all of us must come together around the values of Eid," Caney said. "The values of community, of generosity and yes, of sacrifice. These are Muslim values, these are Canadian values," the PM said. "Is Canada done for?" a viral post on X commented sharing the video -- triggering a major debate over 'Islamized Canada'. "On Easter he couldn't even speak the name of Jesus Christ and made up some ridiculous notion that the holiday is about celebrating new beginnings (because it's Spring?) and then painted eggs," another post read. Indian-origin journalist Rupa Subramanya condemned the speech and said Islamic values are not Canadian values. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mai puține griji la pensionare Pensia Facultativă NN Vezi oferta Undo "And there ain't nothing bigoted in saying that," she posted on X.
