No fair at FaguBaba's shrine asSec 163 imposed
Gorakhpur: Authorities have prohibited the weekly fair at the 105-year-old Fagu Baba's shrine in Badliya village under the Itwa police station following objections raised by former BJP MLA Raghvendra Pratap Singh. The move came after Singh claimed that the site is not a Sufi dargah but the samadhi (tomb) of a Hindu man named Fagu Prasad. The former MLA alleged that occult practices and monetary exploitation were taking place at the shrine where women from outside the region would stay for extended periods. "We had informed the administration. They took the right steps and we are satisfied," Singh said, adding that they had planned to recite the Hanuman Chalisa at the site on Thursday. However, after the announcement of recital of the Hanuman Chalisa by Singh, heavy police force was deployed at the spot on Thursday morning. SDM, Dumariyaganj, Sanjeev Dixit imposed Section 163 BNSS to prevent gatherings. "Based on police and CO Itwa's reports, it was found that exorcism-like activities were being conducted regularly. The land also falls under charagah (pasture) category and legal action will be taken," Dixit stated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Neuropatia incomodando à noite?

India criticises temple vandalism in Bangladesh, says protecting Hindus is interim govt's responsibility
India on Thursday denounced the reported destruction of a Durga temple in Dhaka and said it is the responsibility of Bangladesh's interim government to protect Hindus as well as religious institutions. read more India on Thursday expressed deep concern over the reported vandalism of a Durga temple in Dhaka's Khilkhet area, accusing Bangladesh's interim government of failing to uphold the rights and safety of Hindu minorities their properties and religious institutions. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said New Delhi was dismayed by reports that the temple was razed despite calls for protection from extremist threats. 'We understand that extremists were clamoring for demolishing the Durga temple in Khilkhet, Dhaka,' he said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'The interim government, instead of providing security to the temple, projected the episode as illegal land use…and they allowed the destruction of the temple today,' he said. 'This has resulted in damage to the deity before it was shifted. We are dismayed that such incidents continue to recur in Bangladesh,' he added. 'It is the responsibility of Bangladesh's interim government to protect Hindus as well as religious institutions,' he added. Jaiswal also said India is prepared to engage with Bangladesh on 'all matters' in an environment that is conducive for mutually beneficial dialogue. His remarks came in response to a question on possible renewal of Ganges water treaty with Bangladesh next year. Asked about India's decision to curb Bangladeshi exports via land ports, he said the measures were based on Dhaka's own quest for 'fairness, equal treatment and reciprocity'. 'We await resolution of the underlying issues pending with the Bangladeshi side for a long time. These issues have been raised by India at several structured meetings earlier, including at the Commerce Secretary level talks,' he said. Last month, India decided to curb Bangladeshi exports of ready-made garments and several other consumer goods through land ports with an aim to ensure fairness and equality in bilateral trade. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The new restrictions for Bangladeshi consumer goods were imposed weeks after New Delhi ended a nearly five-year-old arrangement for trans-shipment of Bangladeshi export cargo to third countries via Indian airports and ports. There has been a sharp downturn in India-Bangladesh relations after deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled Dhaka and took shelter in India in August last year in the face of a massive anti-government protest. The relations nosedived dramatically after the interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus failed to contain attacks on minorities, especially Hindus, in that country. With inputs from agencies

Zohran Mamdani's NYC mayoral win draws sharp political reactions in India
Zohran Kwame Mamdani's victory in the Democratic primary race for New York City mayor has evoked sharp reactions in India. In a post on X, Congress Rajya Sabha member Abhishek Singhvi said: 'When Zohran Mamdani opens his mouth, Pakistan's PR team takes the day off. India doesn't need enemies with 'allies' like him shouting fiction from New York.' Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha member Kangana Ranaut also reacted on X, appending a video clip of Mamdani participating in a protest against the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya on 'the ruins of Babri Masjid', and insinuated that he is anti-Hindu. 'He sounds more Pakistani than Indian,' she said. In the past, Mamdani has criticised the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat. More recently, he said he would not share a stage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, drawing a parallel between Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A senior Sangh Parivar leader, who handles diaspora outreach, described Mamdani as having close ties with the Pakistani diaspora in the US and as someone known to take anti-India positions. During Mamdani's election campaign, the India Impact Fund—an organisation that promotes the participation of South Asian Americans in US politics—supported him. Other groups, such as 'Indian Americans for Cuomo' (supporting his rival Andrew Cuomo) and the 'American Hindu Coalition', opposed him.
