Peace irks oppn, Congress & SP divide people for political gain, says Pathak
1 2 Lucknow: Hitting back at Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav for his remarks on the Fatehpur incident, deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak said the SP and the Congress pursue the policy of divide and rule to gain political mileage. Pathak said that for decades, both the parties divided the country and the state on the lines of religion, caste, region, and language. He added that Akhilesh's statements were intended to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere in the state. "SP and Congress cannot tolerate a riot-free Uttar Pradesh. They want to exploit sensitive situations for vote bank politics," he said. Reiterating the BJP's vision, Pathak said, "Our commitment is not to appease anyone and to work for all. BJP govt works with the motto of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas' and implements welfare policies for the benefit of all sections of society." Claiming that communal violence was effectively brought under control by the BJP govt in eight-and-a-half years, Pathak said, "SP cannot digest peace. Leaders like Akhilesh repeatedly make statements that threaten to damage the social fabric." Speaking on the Fatehpur disturbance, Pathak said the govt took immediate steps to restore order, informing both sides of the facts and ensuring heavy police deployment. "Teams from 10 police stations, PAC units, and administrative officials were stationed to maintain peace," he said, adding that the situation was normal and those making claims over old structures had dispersed peacefully. He asked the opposition to stop "political opportunism" on the issue. He also highlighted the BJP govt's work in education, claiming a "renaissance" in the sector. He said over 27 lakh new students were enrolled under this year's 'School Chalo Abhiyan' and that Rs 11,500 crore was invested under Operation Kayakalp to provide 19 essential facilities — including drinking water, toilets, electricity, blackboards, furniture, and classroom repairs — in 96% of schools. He said under the Atal Residential School Scheme, schools were launched in all 18 divisions, offering free residential education, sports, labs, and skill training to over 18,000 children from underprivileged sections. "The education system during the SP govt had collapsed. According to a report of 2015, 3.45 crore children were deprived of schooling at the time. In contrast, our govt is consistently investing in modernising schools," he said. He appealed to opposition leaders to refrain from rhetoric that could harm the state's peace and development.

Sun TV shares case: Maran brothers bury the hatchet
CHENNAI: The family dispute clouding the Sun TV conglomerate appeared to blow over Monday with former Union minister Dayanidhi Maran withdrawing his high-stakes legal notice against elder brother Kalanithi Maran, in which he had accused the latter of fraud and other irregularities. "Yes, the notice has been withdrawn. All issues between the brothers have been sorted out," a source close to the family told TOI. After the notice was issued in June, plunging the media group into a crisis, Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin intervened on July 9 and arranged conciliatory talks between the brothers. Dayanidhi had accused his sibling of illegal transfer of shares worth thousands of crores and breach of trust. He threatened to approach statutory organisations like SFIO, SEBI and ED to initiate civil, criminal, regulatory and enforcement proceedings against Kalanithi and his associates, including his wife Kaveri Kalanithi, unless they restored M/s Sun TV Network Ltd and all related companies to their original state as on Sep 15, 2003. This, according to the notice, involved reinstating the shares to the "rightful owners" - M K Dayalu Ammal, wife of the late CM M Karunanidhi, and the legal heirs of late S N Maran (Murasoli Maran) within a week. As of 2024-25, Sun TV Network Ltd had reported a turnover of Rs 4,544 crore and a net profit of Rs 1,654.45 crore.

Land pooling policy scrapped, land owners have the last laugh
1 2 Amritsar: Jagdeep Singh, a farmer from Nijjapura — home to some of the most valuable land on the outskirts of Amritsar — could hardly contain his emotions upon hearing that the govt scrapped the land pooling policy. Overcome with joy, he broke into a smile, his eyes glistening with tears. A newfound energy filled his stride, as if a heavy burden suddenly lifted. Expressing gratitude for givng him the news, he couldn't hold back his words and kept repeating, "Bhai sahib, thank you! Tusi badi changi khabar ditti hai. Asi taan jaan di baazi lagan nu tayyar baithhe si—sirf apni zameen bachan layi." (Brother, thank you! You've given us such good news. We were ready to risk our lives—just to save our land.) Jagdeep said he owned four to five acres of land while all of his family members own around 70 to 80 acres of land in Nijjarpura, where prime land costs more than Rs 3 crore per acre. He said so many institutes, hotels, etc., have come up in the area, which would have made the land even more costly in the near future. "We could never allow the govt to take away our land and were ready for anything," he said. Similar emotions were echoed by Dheer Singh, a retired principal, whose 10 to 12 acres of land in Rakh Cheetha and Jandiala fell under the ambit of the land pooling policy. Brimming with happiness, he called the move a major win for farmers and the opposition. "This is a victory of the people, the govt didn't withdraw the policy on its own, it was forced to, under pressure," he said. Rattan Singh Randhawa, a farmer leader representing the Border Area Sangharsh Committee, warned that if the govt had not withdrawn the policy now, it would have faced more resistance on the scale of the 2021 farmers' agitation that forced the repeal of the three central farm laws. "We were preparing for a massive protest, but this news has come as a huge relief for us and for the farming community," he said, adding that over 4,500 acres of land were affected by the land pooling policy, which he called deeply unjust to farmers.
