World Will Listen To Us If We Become Strong In All Sectors: Nitin Gadkari
Nagpur: Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday pitched for making India a superpower and " vishwaguru", saying the world would certainly listen to India if it becomes strong in every sector. The Road Transport and Highways Minister was addressing a gathering at a programme to mark 'Akhand Bharat Sankalp Din' organised by the Rashtra Nirman Samiti (social organisation) in Nagpur. "We recall this day because on this day in 1947, the country was divided into two - India and Pakistan. We all, as a mission, accept that our country's partition was unnatural, and one day, our country will become ' akhand ' (unified). This is the resolve we take today in this programme," he said. Mr Gadkari praised India's unity in diversity and also lauded the country's armed forces. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has resolved to make India a 5 trillion-dollar economy, the third-largest economy in the world, as well as " atmanirbhar" and " vishwaguru", he noted, adding all these resolutions will be achieved with the efforts of every Indian. "If we become strong in every sector, then certainly the world will listen to us. Those who are strong in economics, defence, science and technology and those who are progressing in agriculture and business, and a country whose citizens are patriots and cultured, that country can only become vishwaguru," he said. Mr Gadkari praised the Rashtra Nirman Samiti for invoking the thought of "Akhand Bharat" among the people. "When we are taking the resolution for 'Akhand Bharat' today, we should also resolve to make a superpower country which is progressive, prosperous and powerful," he said. Mr Gadkari also raised concerns over road accidents, and underlined the importance of creating awareness among the youth about following the road safety rules.

Dy CM Samrat Choudhary calls Lalu Yadav 'Gabbar of Bihar' in poll-bound state
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Monday launched a scathing attack on Rashtriya Janata Dal ( RJD ) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav , calling him the " Gabbar of Bihar " and accusing him of creating an atmosphere of fear during his rule. Choudhary asserted that the state must break free from the grip of caste-based and dynastic politics to move forward. Speaking at the public gathering, Dy CM Choudhary said, "1.5 crore people left Bihar because of the fear of Lalu Prasad Yadav. He is the Gabbar of Bihar, who did the work of scaring everyone. Be it any community, upper or backwards class, the one person who scared everyone was Lalu Prasad Yadav. Now we need to change this because Bihar needs to be taken forward." Taking a dig at the fodder scam case involving the RJD patriarch, Choudhary said, "You want to hand over power again to someone who was jailed for eating the fodder meant for cattle? That is not the Bihar we want anymore." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing Older Women should Avoid Learn More Undo Drawing a comparison between Bihar and Jharkhand, Choudhary noted that while Jharkhand has a budget of Rs 1.40 lakh crore, Bihar, under the leadership of the NDA, has a significantly higher budget of Rs 3.17 lakh crore.

"No matter what caste, religion or background -- a criminal is a criminal. Whether it's a land mafia or a local goon, they will not be spared," he added. The Dy CM added, "It's a clear message: if any criminal tries to harm you, then do not hold yourself because a criminal never belongs to any caste or religion. No one should escape because if he does, then after some time, the person will come asking for MLA MP tickets or will buy the ticket." Choudhary urged the people of Bihar to protect the state's political integrity and ensure that its future aligns with the development dream envisioned by Emperor Ashoka.

Not Saqlain Mushtaq, Pakistan's all-time greatest spinner is Hamid Mir
With 208 wickets in just 49 Tests at an average of 29.83, many would call Saqlain Mushtaq Pakistan's greatest spinner. Traditionalists with white-kit nostalgia might still vouch for the legendary leggie Abdul Qadir. But that's all for on-field action. Off it, long after these men stopped turning the cherry, senior journalist Hamid Mir, of late, emerged as Pakistan's biggest spinner. Not of cricket balls, but of theories and facts, twisting and turning them at Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir has a history of bold assertions. However, his statements and views on India and its leadership, particularly Prime Minister Narendra Modi, since May have drawn scrutiny for their inflammatory and outlandish accusing India of "state-sponsored terrorism" to alleging an "Akhand Bharat plan to forcibly convert minorities", to claims about New Delhi's Operation Sindoor strikes and a "Zionism-Hindutva alliance", the journalist, author, and columnist left no theory untouched. From challenging the establishment to towing its kingpin, Field Marshal Asim Munir's lines, Mir's shift is remarkable and hard to all the bizarre theories Hamid Mir spun, mostly shared on his X handle, the most recent one seemed all over the alleged that India and Israel were planning a joint attack on Pakistan. In his June 30 piece in Geo News, he claimed that Modi and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu were determined to carry out the strike before October. Why? Because, according to Mir, Modi needs to win the comments section was flooded with bewildered Indians, with some even schooling SINDOOR'S CIVILIAN CASUALTIES?On May 7, when Indian forces launched Operation Sindoor weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack, Mir alleged that India's military operation targeted civilians rather than terrorists, as India claimed."Indians have used stand-off weapons from their own territory and issued press releases that they attacked terrorists at nine points. In fact, Indians attacked civilians and civil casualties have occurred. Evidence of civilian casualties is available, Mir wrote on Pakistan's military reported 31 civilian deaths, India maintained the "precise" strikes targeted terror heavens of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba infrastructure, killing over 100 of fact-checkers and the Press Information Bureau (PIB) debunked the Pakistani claims. No independent verification, since, has confirmed Mir's claims of civilian casualties in BHARAT RHETORIC BY HAMID MIRThen on June 2, Mir escalated his rhetoric, calling for a united front for South Asian countries at the UN to oppose India's "Akhand Bharat plan", accusing the BJP and the RSS of aiming to "convert Muslims, Christians, and Sikhs to Hinduism".He claimed to have laid out "undeniable facts". But what he actually presented were a series of familiar allegations against the BJP-RSS combine, that routinely surface in India's political discourse to make headlines every other day as assertion lacked evidence, as no official Indian policy endorses forced conversions or the "Akhand Bharat" concept, an idea which goes against India's policy of respecting sovereign neighbours, a stance PM Modi has repeatedly emphasised on by advocating "peaceful coexistence and regional cooperation".MODI'S G7 APPEARANCE EXPOSED MIR'S FAKE-NEWS INDUSTRYThe very next day, Mir claimed on X that India was excluded from the G7 summit in Canada due to "state-sponsored terrorism" by the Modi days later Modi received and accepted an invitation from Canadian PM Mark Carney. Modi attended the G7 summit as an outreach guest and India participated in the Energy Security session. He met several world leaders, directly contradicting Mir's is from the summit where Modi over phone refuted US President Donald Trump's ceasefire mediation calls, after Trump had to rush back home to take care of the escalating crisis in the Middle CLAIM OF SECRET INDIA-ISRAEL ATTACK PLANMir's most provocative loose talk came on June 30 in a Geo News piece titled, 'Why are Israel and India planning to attack Pakistan before October 2025?'He alleged a secret India-Israel alliance, driven by "Zionism and Hindutva", was plotting to attack Pakistan's nuclear facilities before October 2025 ahead of the election in an X post by Israeli professor Meir Masri and a Modern Diplomacy article by Canadian geopolitical analyst Julian Spencer-Churchill, Mir suggested Israel and India aimed to "denuclearise" Pakistan, using Indian bases for drone and missile claimed India's purchase of Israeli drones, like the Hermes 900, and the Adani-Elbit joint venture signalled this intent. However, Mir's and Spencer-Churchill's pieces seem speculative. They lack concrete evidence of such plans, and no credible intelligence report corroborates an imminent India-Israel attack on the article, Mir seemed to cobble a narrative from fragments, conjectures, the Indian Opposition's rhetoric, and baseless claims, something uncharacteristic curious embrace of his stature and a curious embrace of the establishment's the end, it's almost poetic. The man, who was once the establishment's loud critic, and narrowly survived two assassination attempts, now spins theories that would make the GHQ and its master, who said Hindus and Muslims are different, nod in approval. Hamid Mir's deliveries have turned into half-volleys. Mir has emerged as Pakistan's biggest spinner, but at the cost of his credibility.- EndsMust Watch advertisement
