"They want to convert 'Samajwad' into 'Namazwad'": BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi rips apart INDIA bloc over Waqf Bill protests
New Delhi [India], June 30 (ANI): BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi on Monday launched a scathing attack on the INDIA bloc, stating they want to convert 'Samajwad' into 'Namazwad'. The BJP addressed a press conference in New Delhi, referring to RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's recent comments on the Waqf Amendment Act.
The BJP leader termed RJD and Congress as 'Namazwadi' parties and stated that the people of Bihar have two options at present.
'These socialists don't even care about minorities. By bowing down before the Mullahs and Maulavis, they want to convert 'Samajwad' into 'Namazwad'...'Pakke Namazwadi hai, RJD ho ya Congress. I want to say to people of Bihar that there are two options', Sudhanshu Trivedi said.
Furthermore, Sudhanshu Trivedi asked whether the INDIA bloc wants to implement 'Sharia Law' in Bihar and mentioned that they will try to implement the 'Sharia Law' in the state once they come to power.
'I want to ask the INDI alliance, are you thinking of implementing Sharia law in Bihar, which is bigger than Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Turkey and ISIS?. The INDI alliance, which will try to implement Sharia through the back door if it comes to power, and on the other side, our government, which will remain committed to protecting Baba Saheb's constitution', the BJP MP said.
Sudhanshu Trivedi revealed that there is no mention of the word 'Waqf' in 'Quran'. He stated that the opposition wants to make 'fun' of the constitution written by Dr BR Ambedkar and want to convert it into a 'maulvi script'.
'There is no word called Waqf in the Quran. This is the creation of Mullah, Maulavi. In the Quran, it is said that you should spend as much as you can. Do not hold. They want to make fun of Baba Saheb's constitution and convert it into a Maulvi script', Sudhanshu Trivedi said.
Reiterating his claim that the INDIA bloc will implement the 'Sharia Law' in Bihar once they come to power, Sudhanshu Trivedi remembered the Shah Bano Case. He asserted that Congress, which is leading the INDI bloc, 'overruled' Supreme Court's judgement on the Shah Bano case and put 'Sharia above the Constitution'.
'Today, parties like the RJD and the Samajwadi Party are in favour of 'Namazvad'. If their government comes, which is not going to come, then they will throw Baba Saheb Ambedkar's constitution in the dustbin and implement Sharia law. 400 seats have been crossed only once in India's history, that in 1985. The Congress, which is leading the INDI alliance, overruled the Supreme Court's decision on Shah Bano in the Parliament and put Sharia above the Constitution', he said. (ANI)

'No Money To Buy Books Twice': Parents On Chhattisgarh Syllabus Order
Raipur: In Chhattisgarh, schools open in April. However, it seems the Education Department prefers surprise tests, not just for students but for parents too. On June 25, Raipur's District Education Officer issued an eight-point directive, catching schools and parents off-guard. By this time, most students had already completed two months of their academic session. Many parents had bought books worth thousands in April, only to now be told: "Wait, the government will distribute free books." "I bought books worth Rs 10,000 for my three daughters because schools reopened in April," says Dhalendra Sahu, a small trader from Raipur. "Now, if the syllabus changes, we'll suffer. Almost 70 per cent people will face problems. We don't earn enough to buy books twice." Mr Sahu, who earns Rs 25,000 to Rs 28,000 a month from agriculture, has three daughters - one each in Class 8, 3, and nursery. Like many parents, he trusted the schools' word and got the books early. Now, the government's order feels like an afterthought - like it, too, came back from a long summer break. The June 25 order left private schools scrambling. While books hadn't arrived, the department suggested they should wait. Rajiv Gupta, president of the Private School Association, says they had no choice but to move ahead with private publishers. "Schools reopened on June 16. It's been 15 days and we haven't received books," says Mr Gupta. "There are over 800 schools and two lakh students in Raipur alone. If the distribution begins on July 1, books won't reach all students before July 20." The Education Department's move seems well-intentioned on paper. But when students are midway through their syllabus, and books are nowhere in sight, parents ask - is this about learning or about logistics? The issue has taken a political turn. The Congress accuses the Education Department of colluding with private schools. Their charge: the delay in SCERT book distribution benefits private publishers. "Due to corrupt officials and the private school lobby, free books meant for lakhs of students haven't been given," says Congress spokesperson Vikas Tiwari. "Parents are being misled in the name of CBSE." The ruling BJP has a different take. While acknowledging the delay, they call it an educational "experiment". "This is part of a review process to improve education quality," says BJP spokesperson Gaurishankar Shrivas. "Yes, there's been a delay, and not all schools fall under the directive. The department will review and take appropriate steps." At the heart of the issue lies a simple question: was this order really for the students' benefit or just to decorate files? In an ideal world, children study from books, not from bureaucratic guidelines. But in Chhattisgarh this year, books seem to come only after orders - and that too, not before July.

Health services in state are in ICU, says Akhilesh
Lucknow: Blood donation is the greatest gift, and by donating it voluntarily, we can help patients in need. It's good to donate blood on special occasions like a child's birthday, parents' anniversary, or your own wedding anniversary, said chief . Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He was speaking at a blood donation camp at KGMU on Monday, organised to mark his birthday on July 1. The camp was organised by members of the Maurya, Shakya, Kushwaha, and Saini communities, where 107 youth and party workers donated blood. Akhilesh praised the volunteers and called the event a true example of socialism and public service. Targeting the state govt, the former CM said, "Health services in Uttar Pradesh are in the ICU. Hospitals are in poor shape, and facilities exist only on paper. The poor are left to fend for themselves." He added that the medical infrastructure built during the SP govt is now being neglected. Praising KGMU, Yadav said the institution is among the most respected globally, with its doctors serving worldwide. "If the SP returns to power, we'll invest every possible resource to build world-class institutions and ensure the poor get proper treatment," he said. He also criticised the BJP-led govt over the state of business and industry, calling the situation an "economic emergency." He said that a major UP-based infrastructure firm was being sold, warning that privatisation is harming employment and economic growth. "If businesses thrive, jobs will grow, and the economy will strengthen," he said. On environmental issues, he alleged that the BJP failed to clean rivers despite large budgets. "They didn't clean rivers—they cleaned out the funds," he said, promising to beautify the Gomti riverfront and install a statue of freedom fighter Virangana Devi Paswan if the SP returns to power. He thanked the PDA (pichda, dalit, alpsankhyak) workers for organising the camp, urging that his birthday be celebrated as a day of service and social commitment.

Panel of 3 ministers to review MBC demands
Jaipur: State govt formed a three-member ministerial committee on Monday to review the demands of Most Backward Classes (MBC), including Gurjars. The committee will propose solutions to the state govt. The committee comprises state law minister Jogaram Patel, social justice and empowerment minister Avinash Gehlot, and minister of state for home Jawahar Singh Bedam. The Gurjar community raised this demand during the Mahapanchayat in Peelupura, Bharatpur. Aparna Arora from the ACS Social Justice and Empowerment Department serves as the member secretary. "Thanks to Honorable CM Bhajan Lal Sharma for forming a ministerial committee of three ministers as per the agreement reached between Gurjar Arakshan Sangarsh Samiti and the Rajasthan govt at the Peelupara Mahapanchayat on June 8," said Vijay Bainsla, president of the Gurjar Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti. "We are hopeful and confident that under the leadership of the chief minister, the state govt will soon convene a cabinet meeting to recommend to the central govt to include MBC reservation in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution and will also positively fulfil all other demands within the agreed time frame," he added. The 9th Schedule of the Constitution comprises a compilation of laws that remain immune from judicial review and legal challenges. Bainsla said the June 26 meeting with the govt to review the Devnarayan scheme was postponed, and the community is still awaiting a new date. During the Mahapanchayat, Bainsla read the govt's draft to the people, but a faction opposed the draft.
