CM seeks detailed report on Harda lathi-charge, Karni Sena warns of consequences in Bihar polls
Bhopal: CM Mohan Yadav sought a detailed investigation report from the district administration of Harda on the alleged police lathi-charge on students inside hostels. The CM, who is on an official foreign tour in Spain, took to 'X' and said, "Taking cognisance of the Harda hostel incident, I have sought a detailed investigation report from the district administration. For our govt, social justice and mutual harmony are the highest priority." He further stated, "No one will be allowed to disrupt social harmony in Madhya Pradesh." Yadav's action comes after Karni Sena National President Mahipal Singh Makrana warned the BJP govt on the police action against Rajput youths. He mentioned that in several past elections, the BJP acknowledged their victory in electoral polls to Rajput voters. "And now, the same BJP govt is disregarding our community. If the BJP continues to behave in this manner with Rajputs, then massive protests will take place before the Bihar assembly elections," Makrana said. State Congress' Thakur leaders, including former Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh and former LOP Ajay Singh, deeply condemned the alleged police excess on students. Two days after the July 13 lathi-charge incident, Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh reached Harda to meet students who were lathi-charged by the police. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cách giao dịch ETH/USD mà không cần nắm giữ Ether IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Singh said, "The way students, even girl students, were lathi-charged in the hostels… four to five persons were surrounded by the police. Take them to the police station or wherever they are to be taken. But students being beaten up is unacceptable." Former LOP Ajay Singh stated that the use of force is not the solution to every problem. "This worsens the situation instead of improving it. And this is what happened. Now the protest of Karni Sena is gradually spreading to other districts as well. Before the situation becomes more unpleasant, the administration should find a solution through mutual dialogue," Ajay Singh said. The Karni Sena protest of July 13 in Harda started after an office-bearer of the organisation, Ashish Singh Rajput, filed a complaint with the police that he was defrauded of Rs 18 lakh by a person identified as Mohit Verma and two others. A day before the protests, on July 12, the police were taking accused Mohit Verma to court when workers of the Karni Sena Parivar demanded that the accused be handed over to them. When the situation worsened, police arrested Karni Sena district president Sunil Rajput, complainant of the fraud case Ashish Rajput, and two others. These arrests led to the protest in Harda. To disperse the crowd, police resorted to lathi-charge and firing tear-gas shells. Sixty Karni Sena leaders and workers, including the National President of Karni Sena Parivar Jeevan Singh Sherpur, were arrested and later released. Meanwhile, protests by the Karni Sena spread to various parts of the state. The Congress party alleged that police entered hostels and beat up students during the lathi-charge.

The initiative has been taken considering the health condition of children diagnosed with cancer, and to provide a healthy environment with therapy for survivors until they are fully recovered. The special unit (clinic) was inaugurated at the pediatric ward.

He noted that AIIMS Bhopal has already started offering holistic cancer care for children, including accurate diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Many children who have successfully completed treatment are now living healthy lives, he said.

Digvijaya reaches Harda, meets students lathi-charged by police
Bhopal: Former chief minister Digvijaya Singh reached Harda on Monday to meet students who were allegedly lathi-charged by the police in the hostels during the protest by Karni Sena volunteers. On Sunday, police resorted to lathi-charge, use of water cannons, and firing tear gas to control the Karni Sena protest. Speaking to reporters after reaching Harda, Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh said, "The way students, even girl students, were lathi-charged in the hostels… four to five persons were surrounded by the police. Take them to the police station or wherever they are to be taken. But students being beaten up is not acceptable." State BJP President Hemant Khandelwal countered the Congress' allegations and said, "BJP respects all communities. We are with everyone. Congress wants to divide society. BJP works to take all communities along. So far as the Rajput community is concerned, we have a number of leaders from that society and our party respects and values them." Former LOP Ajay Singh, who is also a Thakur leader like Digvijaya Singh in the Congress party, described the police lathi charge on Karni Sena as unfortunate. He said that the use of force is not the solution to every problem. "This worsens the situation instead of improving it. And this is what happened. Now the protest of Karni Sena is gradually spreading to other districts as well. Before the situation becomes more unpleasant, the administration should find a solution through mutual dialogue," he said. Ajay Singh urged chief minister Mohan Yadav to take the entire incident seriously and initiate talks with functionaries of the Karni Sena to restore peace.
