Opposition YSRCP alleges ex-MLA Chevireddy framed in liquor case
Speaking at the party central office at Tadepalli near here on Tuesday, he alleged that SIT officials were using coercion and police force to extract false statements from former gunmen of Bhaskar Reddy.
Mohith Reddy revealed that SIT officers had summoned former gunmen, including Giri and head constable Madan Reddy, and subjected them to physical torture when they refused to provide fabricated statements. He said Madan Reddy was beaten so severely that he had to be hospitalized and is currently under treatment. Photos of the injured constable were shown during the press meet.
The YSRCP leader questioned whether refusing to lie against Bhaskar Reddy was a crime and condemned the SIT's brutal treatment. Mohith Reddy stated that Madan Reddy has filed a petition in the High Court seeking protection from further harassment, which clearly shows how law enforcement is being misused.
The YSRCP leader warned the government that using police as pawns to frame YSRCP leaders would not go unchallenged. He also cautioned police officers that unlawful actions will make them answerable before the court.

New Delhi, Aug 15 (UNI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah today praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day address, calling it a reflection of the government's unwavering commitment to national security, economic growth and the welfare of citizens. In a post on X, the Home Minister said that the speech not only reflects the achievements of the past 11 years but also lays a clear strategy for building a secure, self-reliant and prosperous India. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the nation presents a roadmap of the progress made over the past 11 years, the strength of the present, and the strategy for a prosperous India," he said. Pointing to several key initiatives announced by PM Modi, aimed at strengthening national security and boosting internal development, Shah said, "Whether it's the elimination of terrorists through 'Operation Sindoor', the infrastructure security initiative under 'Mission Sudarshan Chakra', or the resolve to build an infiltrator-free India through the 'High-Powered Demography Mission', the Modi government is committed to making the nation stronger and more secure." Shah also emphasised the Prime Minister's reaffirmed commitment to the welfare of farmers and the call for self-reliance in critical sectors. He said, "Highlighting the government's unwavering commitment to farmers' interests, Modi Ji also called for self-reliance in sectors such as nuclear energy, critical minerals, energy, space, and jet engines." "Additionally, the announcement of the 'Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana' and the major GST relief decision ahead of the upcoming Diwali will ease citizens' lives and boost small enterprises," the Home Minister added.

PM Modi delivers longest-ever I-Day address, marks 12th consecutive speech from Red Fort
New Delhi, Aug 15 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi today delivered a record-breaking 103-minute speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort, marking his 12th consecutive Independence Day address — the most by any Prime Minister after Jawaharlal Nehru. With this, Modi surpassed former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's tally of 11 consecutive addresses, placing him second only to Nehru, who delivered 17 Independence Day speeches during his tenure. The 103-minute address is now the longest Independence Day speech by any Indian Prime Minister, breaking Modi's own previous record of 98 minutes in 2024. His earlier longest speech stood at 96 minutes in 2016, while his briefest address came in 2017, lasting 56 minutes. This year's speech, delivered on India's 79th Independence Day, outlined major announcements on national security, economic reforms, and self-reliance, while also reflecting on the country's journey and aspirations ahead of its centenary of independence in 2047. The Prime Minister's address, delivered amid growing concerns over potential US tariff impositions on Indian goods, also called upon the country's youth to actively partner with the government in building an Atmanirbhar Bharat — a self-reliant India.

On I-Day, Omar Abdullah announces door-to-door signature campaign for J&K statehood
Srinagar, Aug 15 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today announced the launch of a door-to-door signature campaign across the Union Territory for the restoration of J&K's statehood. Addressing the Independence Day function in Srinagar -- the first by an elected government in UT setup, Omar said it was time to 'step out of offices and raise our voice at the doors in Delhi where decisions are being made for us.' He stated that, while letters, resolutions, and meetings had been used earlier, the next step would involve reaching every village of Jammu and Kashmir to get support for statehood restoration as the Supreme Court would hear the petition on statehood restoration after eight weeks. 'So from today, I and my colleagues will not sit. We will not get tired. We will use these eight weeks to reach every 90 assembly constituencies of Jammu and Kashmir, knocking on every door, and asking one question: Do you want J&K back to statehood or not?' Omar said. He added that those unable to sign would be asked for thumb impressions, and the collected signatures would be submitted to both the Central government and the Supreme Court. 'If people refuse to sign, I will accept that J&K is satisfied with the current situation,' chief minister remarked, expressing confidence that 'millions' would support the demand. The Supreme Court yesterday sought the central government's response in 8 weeks on Jammu and Kashmir's statehood petition. The Supreme Court observed that ground realities, like what happened in Pahalgam, could not be ignored. The Chief Minister termed the linking of restoration of statehood with Pahalgam terror attack 'unjust' and 'punishing people for a crime they did not commit.' He questioned whether statehood would be under the control of external forces. 'If J&K becomes a state again, will our government not decide? Will our Supreme Court not decide? Will our neighbours or enemies determine when we can be a state?' he asked. The Chief Minister said the people of J&K were being unfairly linked to the Pahalgam incident despite widespread condemnation across the region. 'From Kathua to Kupwara, there is no city, village, or house where people did not say the attack was not in our name,' he stressed. Recalling India's military response to cross-border aggression under Operation Sindoor, Omar said J&K residents had stood firmly against terrorism. 'Yet, the Pahalgam attack is now being used to deny us statehood. This is neither justice nor fairness,' he said. Omar said there were hopes for restoring the J&K statehood on this Independence Day. 'Our friends and well-wishers have been telling me again and again that something will change this year. This year there will be an announcement. Wait for it…. On 15th August, there will be a big announcement from Delhi for Jammu and Kashmir. The truth is that there was no hope. But the truth is that when a person listens to something again and again, somewhere in a small corner of the heart, a thought goes and settles,' Omar said. '…I was even told that the papers are being prepared. Now it's just a matter of time. You wait. It's done. We waited. It didn't happen. … The hope I had a few days ago may not be there today, but I will keep coming back to it,' Omar asserted. UNI MJR PRS
