"People will answer this dictatorship": Kejriwal after ED detains Gujarat Samachar co-founder
Further, he said that Gujarat would soon give an answer to this 'dictatorship.'
He further said that Shah's 'detention' came 48 hours after raids were carried out on Gujarat Samachar and GSTV. Kejriwal added that it was a sign of the BJP's frustration.
'The raids by IT and ED on Gujarat Samachar and GSTV in the last 48 hours, and then the arrest of their owner, Bahubali Bhai Shah - all this is not a coincidence. This is a sign of the frustration of the BJP, which wants to silence every voice that speaks the truth and asks questions. The people of the country and Gujarat will answer this dictatorship very soon,' Kejriwal, former Chief Minister of Delhi, posted on X.
Earlier, Kejriwal announced a 'Nasha Mukti Yatra' amid the ongoing 'War Against Drugs' in Punjab, which has been initiated by the administration to eliminate drug abuse in the state.
He said that the 'Nasha Multi Yatra' would reach each village and ward in Punjab to strengthen people's resolve against drug abuse and the selling of drugs. It would also focus on convincing people to provide treatment to drug addicts to ensure their well-being.
'From today, the Nasha Mukti Yatra is starting in Punjab. This Yatra will go to every village and every ward of Punjab. Through this Yatra, people will now be connected with the Nasha Mukti Abhiyan. In every village and every ward, people will take an oath that they will not consume drugs themselves, will not let anyone sell drugs in their area and will get the drug addicts treated and get them out of addiction,' Kejriwal, former Chief Minister of Delhi, posted on X.
He stated that the Punjab government has made arrangements for the treatment of drug addicts. (ANI)

Register in voter list: Mamata Banerjee to Bengal minorities day after NRC remark
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday made an urgent appeal to the state's minority communities to ensure their names are registered on the voter list, warning of potential exclusion under a future implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC).Addressing a public meeting in Ilambazar, Banerjee said, "I appeal to my minority brothers and sisters—please make sure your names are on the voter list. No genuine voter should be left out. Arrangements are being made under the guise of a new voter list, but it is actually the NRC in disguise."advertisementBanerjee's appeal comes a day after she accused the BJP of trying to erase Bengali identity and implement the National Register of Citizens (NRC) "through the backdoor". Referring to the NRC exercise in Assam, Banerjee said that nearly 17 lakh people were excluded from the final list, including over 7 lakh from communities such as Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, and Nepalis. She alleged that many of them were detained in camps."They have set up ten detention camps in Gurgaon and Haryana. Lakhs of people are already in camps in Assam," she also urged migrant workers from minority communities to return and stay in Bengal permanently, rather than only visiting during religious festivals. "Don't just come home for Eid. Come back and settle here so you can register your name on the voter list," she said, adding, "If others get two meals a day, so will you."Expressing solidarity with marginalised groups, including Matuas, Rajbangshis, and Shil families, the Chief Minister criticised the Assam government for allegedly sending notices to residents of Bengal. 'The Assam government is sending notices to people from Bengal. They should be ashamed,' she that voter registration is a 'constitutional and democratic right,' Banerjee called on all eligible individuals, especially students turning 18, to get enrolled. She assured that if anyone's name is excluded, her government would protest and hold those responsible the Chief Minister also escalated her confrontation with the Delhi Police over alleged police brutality against a Bengali migrant family in the capital.

Responding sharply, Banerjee reiterated her claims at the Ilambazar event, stating, 'I had said they would be threatened, and that's exactly what happened. Let them return, and the truth will come out.'Mamata Banerjee's remarks come amid growing political tensions around citizenship and voter rights in the lead-up to the next electoral cycle.- EndsMust Watch

'Tried To Push Saffron Terror Narrative': PM Slams Congress In House Speech
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a blistering attack on the Congress during his reply to the debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, accusing the party of decades-long inaction against terrorism due to its "appeasement politics" and vote-bank compulsions. In a scathing speech, PM Modi said that before 2014, the country was gripped by fear, with frequent terror alerts and citizens left to fend for their own safety. "Back then, the government didn't offer protection - it only issued warnings. People were told to be alert because bombs could go off anywhere. That was the reality of Congress rule," PM Modi said. He contrasted the current government's approach with that of the previous regimes led by Congress, claiming that under BJP rule, India has demonstrated both the will and capability to strike back decisively at terrorism. "The question the nation is asking today is: if we can take firm action against terror, why didn't Congress governments do it? What was stopping them?" PM Modi asked. The Prime Minister accused the Congress of being soft on terror to appease its vote banks. He cited multiple instances to make his case: Batla House encounter: "When terrorists were neutralised, a senior Congress leader was seen weeping. This wasn't compassion for the victims - it was appeasement in its most shameful form." Parliament attack (2001): "A Congress leader advocated giving terrorist Afzal Guru the benefit of doubt, even after such a brazen attack on India's democracy." 26/11 Mumbai Attacks "Despite overwhelming global evidence linking the attackers to Pakistan, Congress tried to push the narrative of 'saffron terror'. They were more interested in protecting their vote banks than defending the country." PM Modi also slammed the Congress for weakening anti-terror laws and blocking the full implementation of the Constitution in Jammu & Kashmir. "Why didn't Article 370 go earlier? Because the Congress didn't want to upset its appeasement strategy. Dr. Ambedkar's Constitution was kept out of Kashmir by Congress itself." He also referred to a reported incident where a Congress leader allegedly told a US diplomat that Hindu organisations were more dangerous than Lashkar-e-Taiba. "Imagine the mindset," PM Modi said, "comparing patriots to terrorists - just for political gain." The Prime Minister's speech, punctuated with pointed accusations and references to past terror attacks, underscored the BJP's aggressive posture on national security and its effort to corner the Opposition - particularly the Congress - on issues of internal safety and patriotism. As the Lok Sabha sat in tense silence punctuated by sharp protests from Opposition benches, PM Modi concluded with a pointed message: "The country has changed. The politics of fear and appeasement will no longer be accepted. The era of turning a blind eye to terror is over."

Complaint Against Mamata Banerjee For Post Alleging Delhi Cops Beat Up Woman
Kolkata: The BJP's Soumendu Adhikari - brother of Leader of the Opposition in Bengal assembly Suvendu Adhikari -- has filed a complaint with the Delhi Police, accusing Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of spreading fake news on social media. The Lok Sabha member from Kanthi has accused her of disseminating provocative content to spark discontent and disharmony. The trigger was Ms Banerjee's recent claims of police brutality on a Bengali-speaking woman and her child. The Chief Minister and her Trinamool Congress are claiming that Bengali speaking people - especially migrant workers - are being discriminated against and are facing violence in other states. In his complaint, Mr Adhikari said Ms Banerjee was spreading "false, fabricated and communally charged content via her official social media handle, with the intent to malign the image of the Delhi Police, provoke public discontent, and stoke inter-community disharmony". After the Delhi Police said Ms Banerjee's claim was a "complete fabrication", the Chief Minister hit back. On Tuesday, addressing a government event in Birbhum district, she said the mother and child were "taken to police stations one after another" -- just as she had predicted. "I told you yesterday in the meeting. Check the records. I told you that they will be threatened. That is what happened. We will ask them (the victims) to return. And it will be proven who is true and who is false," she added. In the video posted on social media on Monday, Ms Banerjee had alleged that the Delhi Police had brutally beaten up the mother and child. The migrant worker family had gone to work in Delhi. Atrocious!! Terrible!! See how Delhi police brutally beat up a kid and his mother, members of a migrant family from Malda's Chanchal. See how even a child is not spared from the cruelty of violence in the regime of linguistic terror unleashed by BJP in the country against the... — Mamata Banerjee (@MamataOfficial) July 27, 2025 Earlier today, Abhishek Dhania, a senior officer of the Delhi Police, refuted the Chief Minister's statement. He said the woman, Sanjanu Parveen, had claimed that on Saturday, four plainclothes policemen had come to their house, took them to a secluded area, beat them up and extorted Rs 25,000 from them. "Understanding the seriousness of the situation, we formed multiple teams since last night. Based on technical and local intelligence, as well as CCTV footage, we have gathered various evidence. Based on that evidence, we found out that the whole story told by this lady is baseless... During the interrogation, she mentioned that her relative, who lives in the Malda district of West Bengal, is a political worker, and on his request, she made this baseless video and shared it with him," the officer told reporters.
