'Namazwadi, Not Samajwadi'- BJP Fires Salvo at RJD MP Tejashwi Yadav Over Waqf Act ‘Dustbin' Remark
BJP has accused RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav of disrespecting the Constitution and appeasing communal politics. BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi slammed Tejashwi's controversial vow to "throw the Waqf Act into the dustbin" if the INDIA bloc comes to power, calling it a dangerous attempt to impose 'Namazwad' in place of 'Samajwad'. The BJP alleges that opposition parties are undermining Ambedkar's Constitution by putting Sharia above parliamentary law, and doing so to chase vote-bank politics. Tejashwi's remarks have triggered national outrage, with the BJP questioning if the INDIA bloc is ready to override judicial and legislative processes.#waqfact #tejashwiyadav #bjpvsrjd #namazvad #biharelections #rjdcontroversy #sudhanshutrivedi #waqfcontroversy #bjpattack #sharialaw #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews

Govt buckled under 'pressure': Aaditya on withdrawal of GRs on Hindi
Facing mounting opposition to the introduction of Hindi language in Maharashtra schools, the state cabinet on Sunday decided to withdraw two GRs on the implementation of the three-language policy Press Trust of India Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray on Monday claimed the Maharashtra government withdrew its decision on the teaching of Hindi as a third language in primary classes due to "pressure" from the opposition and the civil society. Thackeray, along with Leader of Opposition in the legislative council Ambadas Danve, Bhaskar Jadhav and other opposition legislators, staged a symbolic protest on the steps of Vidhan Bhavan, holding placards reading "Mi Marathi" (I am Marathi). "Pressure triumphed over power," Thackeray told reporters in the Vidhan Bhavan premises where the monsoon session of the state legislature began earlier in the day. Facing mounting opposition to the introduction of Hindi language in Maharashtra schools from classes 1 to 5, the state cabinet on Sunday decided to withdraw two GRs (government orders) on the implementation of the three-language policy. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday said the GRs have been withdrawn, and announced the formation of a committee headed by educationist Narendra Jadhav to suggest the way forward on the language policy. "Despite having power, the government had to roll back its own resolutions due to pressure from the people, the opposition and others opposing the imposition of Hindi," Thackeray claimed. "We will continue our pressure on the government until it issues a formal decision in writing. We no longer trust this government. The unity of the Marathi people must be demonstrated before Delhi," said the legislator, son of former state chief minister Uddhav Thackeray. Asked about motives behind the government's decision, Aaditya Thackeray alleged, "The BJP and Deputy CM Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena are working hard to prevent any unity between Uddhav and (MNS head) Raj Thackeray. But they are mistaken if they think they can divide the Marathi pride." Danve said, "We are happy that our demand has been partially met. But we are still skeptical of the Maharashtra government, especially since it has now formed another committee to study the matter further." NCP (SP) leader Jayant Patil claimed the government's reversal on the introduction of Hindi demonstrates how detached it is from the public sentiment. "The withdrawal of its own decisions on Hindi imposition shows how alienated this government is from concerns of the people. It also underscores the dysfunctionality of the administration," he charged. The state legislature's monsoon session commenced today and will continue till July 18. While the House proceedings began with obituary references, the opposition made it clear it would target the government on a range of issues, such as farm loan waiver, fair prices for agricultural produce, inflation, employment, education and alleged administrative irregularities.
