Primary education should be in mother tongue: RSS
Following the political backlash, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis withdrew the government resolution on the three-language policy and announced the setting up of a committee to recommend the implementation of a three-language formula.
On Manipur, Ambekar said RSS volunteers were actively working to restore peace and foster dialogue among various communities affected by the conflict. He said notable positive developments have been observed, but achieving complete normalcy would require more time.
Talking about the Sangh's outreach programmes during its centenary year, Ambekar said RSS will reach out to every village, locality and house in the country during the year. He said Hindu sammelans will be organised in 58,964 mandals and 44,055 bastis across the country where social festivals, social unity and harmony would be discussed.

Suvendu Adhikari's call to stay off Kashmir riles own party, NC slams it as ‘terrorism'
File photo: Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari (Picture credit: PTI) SRINAGAR: Bengal BJP leader of opposition Suvendu Adhikari's comments advising Bengal's people not to travel to Kashmir have drawn fire in J&K, with his own party repudiating the statement and the governing National Conference (NC) equating it with 'terrorism'. 'Kashmir is the crown of India, an integral part of our motherland. Every Indian holds Kashmir close to his heart,' former J&K BJP chief Ravinder Raina said in a video message where she asked Adhikari to visit the Valley and witness firsthand the 'patriotism of Kashmiris'. Adhikari had advised Bengal's people against going to places 'where Muslims are in a majority'. 'If you want to visit Kashmir, visit Jammu.' Referring to the Pahalgam terror attack, Adhikari said tourists were 'selectively killed' and advised people to visit Himachal Pradesh or Uttarakhand instead. Raina contested Adhikari's version of events. 'After the Pahalgam terror attack, it was local Kashmiris who rescued the wounded and later sheltered tourists to ensure their safety. Thousands of Kashmiris have laid down their lives for the nation's unity and security. Many of our own BJP workers from Kashmir were killed by terrorists. Countless Kashmiri policemen and security personnel have been martyred defending the country. If the Tricolour flies proudly in Kashmir today, it is because of the sacrifices and patriotism of Kashmiris,' Raina said. Adhikari's comments came after a meeting between J&K CM Omar Abdullah and Bengal's Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata on Thursday. After the talks, Mamata had appealed to the people of her state to travel to Kashmir and support its tourism. She also accepted Omar's invitation to visit the Valley, promising to do so after Durga Puja in Sept. Mamata's TMC has slammed Adhikari's comments, accusing him of indulging in a 'disgraceful, calculated act of communal provocation' and 'pushing the message of terrorists at home'. On Saturday, Omar's NC echoed the condemnation. NC spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq said he did not find 'any difference between him (Suvendu) and terrorists' and pointed out that the statement was contrary to efforts by the Centre and J&K govt to revive tourism. 'Terrorists also wanted that no one should visit Kashmir and this person (Adhikari) is saying the same. If you want to condemn the Pahalgam terror attack, you must visit Kashmir,' Sadiq added.

TMC-BJP war of words after 2 found dead in Khejuri
1 2 Khejuri: The deaths of two persons under mysterious circumstances on the sidelines of a local function at Khejuri in East Midnapore on Friday night have sparked a tussle among rival political parties. The bodies of Sujit Das, 23, of Purba Bhangonmari, and Sudhir Chandra Paik, 65, of Jhantihari, were found at the venue of a 'jalsa' at Bhangonmari village. While BJP claimed they were murdered, Trinamool said a police investigation would uncover the truth. Locals said the duo might have been electrocuted after a halogen light fell on them. In a statement on X, Bengal leader of opposition Suvendu Adhikari said the victims had gone to attend a Muharram festival at the Janaka area of Khejuri last night when they were murdered. He named seven people allegedly responsible for the deaths, including a local TMC neta. "The presence of injury marks and blood stains on the deceased suggest suspicious circumstances behind these deaths," he said. Trinamool spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said: "This constant attempt to lace everything with religious poison to incite people is disgraceful politics."

Homeland Security's Noem says in talks with five Republican-led states to build detention site
US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Saturday that she was in talks with five Republican-led states to build another detention site inspired by the 'Alligator Alcatraz' facility in Florida. 'We've had several other states that are actually using Alligator Alcatraz as a model for how they can partner with us,' Noem told a press conference in Florida. She declined to name the states. 'Alligator Alcatraz' is a remote migrant detention center, which sits some 37 miles (60 km) from Miami in a vast subtropical wetland teeming with alligators, crocodiles and pythons.
