Wrong to think 'Modi is India and India is Modi': Congress slams BJP's criticism of Rahul
The Congress on Wednesday (June 4, 2025) said it is wrong to think that "Narendra Modi is India and India is Narendra Modi", as it slammed the BJP for its criticism of Rahul Gandhi over his dig at the Prime Minister and doubled down on the 'Narendra-surrender' jibe. Congress' media and publicity department head, Pawan Khera, claimed that Mr. Gandhi's "Narender... surrender" remarks encapsulated how the Prime Minister has time and again "surrendered India's national interests, in situations, where it was required to show the requisite deft and 'vishwaguru' status. "The BJP people were making a film for their hero for the last 11 years, 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar'. But when the film was ready, it turned out to be 'Narender Ka Surrender'. Actually, there is no injection of bravery, but it is inbuilt in the character of a person. The history of BJP-RSS people has been of cowardice," he alleged while addressing a press conference at the Congress' Indira Gandhi Bhawan headquarters. When such a person takes over the reins of the country, the future of the country comes in danger, which is being witnessed at present, Mr. Khera claimed. His remarks come a day after Mr. Gandhi said in Bhopal that "as soon as Trump signalled from there, picked up the phone and said, 'what are you doing Modi ji? Narender, surrender'... and Modi ji obeyed Trump's orders with 'Ji Huzoor'". Calling on people to remember 1971, Mr. Gandhi said that back then, a phone call had not been made, but the U.S. had sent its 7th Fleet, weapons, and an aircraft carrier. However, Indira Gandhi didn't surrender and stated that she would act in the national interest. Referring to the BJP and the RSS, Mr. Gandhi said they are habituated to writing "surrender letters" since Independence. BJP's accusation The opposition party's assertions came after the BJP accused Gandhi of insulting the armed forces with his "surrender" barb at Prime Minister Modi, saying that it amounted to undermining the success of Operation Sindoor. BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said the Congress leader has surpassed even the Pakistani Army Chief, its Prime Minister, and terrorist masterminds based there in speaking in support of the neighbouring country, and alleged that his jibes reflect a sick and dangerous mindset. Hitting back at the BJP, Mr. Khera said, "When the brave Indian Army had Pakistan on its knees, Trump called, and Narendra Modi surrendered. Trump said many times that we got the ceasefire done by threatening with trade, but Narendra Modi has not replied to Trump to date." "He will not even answer, because name is Narender, work is surrender–this is the reality and truth," Mr. Khera alleged. "We have been asking this for the past one month- Why was this deal made with the self-respect of the country? On what conditions was the ceasefire finally done? Where are terrorists like Hafiz Saeed, Azhar Masood?" Mr. Khera said. But for the last one month, instead of answers, people have been hearing only "cheap" dialogues, the Congress leader said. 'We ask the Prem Chopra of rallies, why doesn't he give a reply to Donald Trump (on his claims). If you don't have the guts to answer him, why don't you answer us, those who ask questions are labelled as speaking in the language of Pakistan,' Mr. Khera said. The Congress leader claimed that the opposition, which is asking questions, is taking the voice of crores of people of the Country to Prime Minister Modi. "Narendra Modi can be the PM, but the country is not the Prime Minister. One can be the PM, the servant of the country, but India is known by different names like 'Jambudweep', Hindustan, Bharat, India, and not Narendra Modi, nor can it ever be known by that name," Mr. Khera said. Those who state that talking of Narendra Modi's surrender is like talking of the surrender of India should open their ears and listen that this country belongs to 140 crore people and it belongs to everyone as much as it does to Narendra Modi, he said. "So do not think that Narendra Modi is India and India is Narendra Modi. It is wrong to thinks so. Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister of the country, but he is not the country," Mr. Khera said, slamming the BJP criticism. U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated claims–11 in 21 days–that the U.S. intervened between India and Pakistan to "broker a ceasefire" has shown how Mr. Modi Government "surrendered" India's interests, "admonished" India's long-standing stand in the Shimla Agreement, hyphenated India and Pakistan, allowing the U.S. to even talk about talks at a 'neutral site', Mr. Khera alleged. "If you look at the 11 years of tenure of Narendra Modi, you will see him surrendering every time. They used to say that they will bring back black money, eliminate unemployment, double the income of farmers, and show red eyes to China - but they surrendered," he claimed. "The situation has become such that when they (government) talk about China, they give them a clean chit ....they are unable to take China's name and make fun of the looks of the people of North-East and insult Lord Ganesha. It is said that Ganesh ji's eyes are small and they do not open. Why does Narendra Modi not make a policy that goods will not be purchased from China?" Mr. Khera said. Mr. Khera alleged that Mr. Modi had taken training from actor Paresh Rawal in mouthing dialogues and speeches. He alleged that in the Modi government, all the policies within the country are being run by trolls, and the Foreign Policy outside the country is being run by a person "who has surrendered".

'Narendra ... surrender' jibe at PM: It's BJP vs Congress over Rahul Gandhi's remark
NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress on Wednesday engaged in a war of words over leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's "Narendra ... surrender" jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi . While the saffron party declared Rahul of being too "immature to be an LoP", the grand old party reiterated the "surrender" jibe at the prime minister further questioning his leadership. Calling it "cheap politics" on Operation Sindoor , BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said, "By making extremely cheap, low-level statements, the self-proclaimed, self-styled, supreme leader, the leader of opposition, Rahul Gandhi, is telling the world that even after becoming the LoP, he lacks seriousness and maturity that the post requires... How Rahul Gandhi compared our armed forces' valour and army officers' brief on Operation Sindoor's success with surrender, shows how sick and dangerous his mentality has become. " Rahul sparked a controversy after he questioned the repeated claims made by Trump over mediation in India-Pakistan truce saying, "Trump gave a sign from there. He (Trump) picked up his phone and said, 'Modiji, what are you doing? Narendra ... by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Surrender.' And PM Modi complied." Though New Delhi has not explicitly refuted former Trump's recent claims, the ministry of external affairs has reiterated that the India-Pakistan ceasefire was a purely bilateral decision. It also clarified that no trade-related discussions with the US have taken place in connection with Operation Sindoor. 'Not even Masood Azhar or Hafiz Saeed ... ' BJP compared Rahul to terrorists like Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed and said that even those "have not said such a thing". "He has used such a word which even Pakistan's Army, terrorist organisations, or UN-designated terrorists Masood Azhar or Hafiz Saeed have not used," Trivedi said. He further accused accused Rahul of repeatedly undermining the country's self-respect and the bravery of its armed forces. "The level of intelligence and wisdom of someone who sees receiving less than three points in their third attempt in the election result as a success, and sees being elected as the Prime Minister for the third time as a defeat is obvious... I want to ask the Congress party, has Rahul Gandhi insulted the Army by using the word surrender or not?" he said. ' Narendra ka surrender ' Meanwhile, Congress accused the BJP of projecting false bravado, claiming the party spent 11 years crafting a narrative of strength akin to a film titled "Muqaddar Ka Sikandar", only for it to end as "Narendra Ka surrender." "BJP people were making a film for the last 11 years- 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar' But when the film was ready, it turned out to be 'Narendra Ka Surrender' Actually, there is no injection of bravery, but it is in the character of a person. The history of BJP-RSS people has been of cowardice. When such a person takes over the reins of the country, the future of the country comes in danger, which we are seeing at present," Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said. "When the brave Indian Army had Pakistan on its knees, Trump called and Narendra Modi surrendered. Trump said many times that we got the ceasefire done by threatening with trade, but Narendra Modi has not replied to Trump till date. He will not even answer, because name is Narender, work is surrender – this is the reality and truth," he added.

Meet actor, who became popular as 'Abhimanyu' in BR Chopra's Mahabharata, played 'young' Amitabh Bachchan, quit acting, moved England to work as..., his name is... He was considered one of the most expensive child actors in 70s and 80s. He portrayed Jr Amitabh Bachchan in films like Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and Laawaris . Moreover, his portrayal of Abhimanyu in BR Chopra's Mahabharata garnered him immense appreciation. Despite being the highest-paid child artist of his times, he chose to step away from acting at the peak of his career. We are talking about none other than Master Mayur, originally known as Mayur Raj Verma. He started his career at the age of five, and as a child artist worked with almost every A-lister, including Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar, Jeetendra and Anil Kapoor. Mayur's debut success in Muqaddar Ka Sikandar catapulted him into stardom, earning him the title of 'Chota Amitabh.' His career rose to success with hits like Laawaris, Love in Goa, Sharabi, and Kanoon Apna Apna. Reflecting about his popularity, Raju said in Rediff interview in 1977, that he was paid 'more than Rs 1 lakh.' He said, 'In 1973, I was paid Rs 10,000 per film. In 1977, when I got very popular, I would get more than Rs 1 lakh.' BR Chopra, mesmerised by his talent, then cast him as Abhimanyu in Mahabharata , sparking speculations of future superstar. Raju did few notable films as a child, but failed to become a popular actor as an adult. Eventually, his decision to quit film industry at the peak left everyone shocked. At the height of his acting career, Mayur Raj Verma chose to venture into business. He relocated to Wales with his wife Noori, and two kids, establishing a successful business empire. Together with his wife, they manage a restaurant in Indiana, which has been flourishing, contributing billions to his wealth.

Rekha never remarried after her first marriage due to..., 'I am someone...'
Rekha is one of the most celebrated stars in Bollywood. She is hailed as the queen of elegance, class, and everything in between. While Rekha is admired on screen for her performances in movies like Do Anjaane, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Silsila, Khoobsurat, and more, she has always maintained a strong layer of mystery when it comes to her personal life. Though her well-wishers and admirers know that she has an intense feeling for Amitabh Bachchan, what many don't know is that after Amitabh's wedding with Jaya, Rekha tried to settle down as well. She married Mukesh Aggarwal, a businessman from Delhi. Sadly, fate never had a companion for Rekha. Her wedding was short-lived when, in less than a year, Mukesh passed away, leaving Rekha heartbroken. Since then, the actress chose not to marry and spent half of her life by herself. But, do you know why? If not, then keep scrolling. In a past interview which has now surfaced online, Rekha revealed the real reason for not remarrying. In that interview, the actress spoke about motherhood, something she has rarely ever talked about before. When the veteran actress was asked whether she feels the absence of kids in her life, she replied, 'I don't feel the longing anymore.' Rekha explained that even if she found the perfect man to have children with, it wouldn't align with her values or life aspirations. She said, 'Even if I were to find the perfect man to raise children with, it wouldn't be fair to my values. I'm not someone who can dedicate myself solely to one person. If I had a child, my focus would shift entirely toward them, and I wouldn't be able to give time or energy to anything else.' Rekha added, 'And what about all the children and people across the world who I feel spiritually connected to? If I possess the privilege of being Rekha, then it's my duty to be available to anyone who reaches out to me.' Though Rekha chose not to remarry, she made it clear that even if she were to be in a relationship, she would give her 100 per cent to it. Describing the way she would want to care for her partner, Rekha said, 'I'm someone who gives everything in a relationship,' she revealed. 'I'd make his bed, choose his clothes, oversee his meals, and even pack his lunch and deliver it myself. That's how focused I am.' Concluding her opinions, Rekha said that her views might sound unrealistic, but she is honest with her feelings.
