Congress and BJP spar over Nehru: tale of two images

 India got a new Parliament on Sunday but Congress and BJP continued their age-old fight over Jawaharlal Nehru.

India got a new Parliament on Sunday but Congress and BJP continued their age-old fight over Jawaharlal Nehru.&nbsp;
The Congress posted a photograph of a miniature image Prime Minister Narendra Modi standing next to a larger than life image of Nehru and looking up to him. The text with the post read - 'No matter how hard you try'.&nbsp;
The BJP in reply tweaked the photograph into two parts - 'Reel' and 'Real'. While the 'Reel' portion showed the larger than life image of Nehru used by Congress, in the 'Real' section, BJP used a miniature image of the country's first PM next to a camera, hinting that his stature in real life is not large as Congress portrays. The text with the post read - 'Truth of Nehru'.&nbsp;

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi shared an image of the mural and tweeted that the resolve for Akhand Bharat is clear.

New Parliament building has a map of Akhand Bharat? BJP minister's tweet has the answer

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi shared an image of the mural and tweeted that the resolve for Akhand Bharat is clear.

A mural in the new Parliament building depicting the influence of ancient Indian thought in its immediate neighbourhood went viral on social media on Sunday with many claiming it represents the resolve for an Akhand Bharat, described as a "cultural concept" by the RSS.
The mural in the new Parliament building, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, marks important kingdoms and cities of the past, and shows the influence of ancient India in the then Taxila, in present-day Pakistan.
"The resolve is clear &ndash; Akhand Bharat," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said on Twitter.
The BJP's Karnataka unit shared photographs of the artworks inside the new Parliament House, including the murals of ancient India, Chanakya, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and B R Ambedkar and the cultural diversity of the country.
"It is a symbol of the vitality of our proud great civilisation," the Karnataka BJP said on its Twitter handle.
"Akhand Bharat in New Parliament. It represents our powerful &amp; self-reliant India," Manoj Kotak, Lok Sabha member from Mumbai North-East, said on Twitter.
A number of Twitter users welcomed the depiction of 'Akhand Bharat' in the new Parliament building and wondered whether it was the reason for the Opposition boycott of the function.
"Our idea was to depict the influence of Indian thought during the ancient ages. It extended from the present day Afghanistan in the northwestern region to south-eastern Asia," Adwaita Gadanayak, Director General, National Gallery of Modern Art said.
Gadanayak was involved in the selection of artworks displayed in the new Parliament building.
According to the RSS, the Akhand Bharat concept refers to the undivided India whose geographical expanse was very wide in ancient times -- present-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand.
However, the RSS now maintains that the Akhand Bharat concept, in the present times, should be seen in the cultural context and not political given the partition of India on religious lines at the time of Independence.

Rahul Gandhi: PM treating inauguration of new Parliament building as...

"Parliament is the voice of the people! The Prime Minister is treating the inauguration of the Parliament House as coronation," Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said Parliament is the voice of the people but the prime minister is treating the inauguration of the new Parliament building like "coronation".
The attack came soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new Parliament building.
"Parliament is the voice of the people! The Prime Minister is treating the inauguration of the Parliament House as coronation," Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.
AICC general secretary, Organisation, K C Venugopal also tweeted, saying, "At the foundation stone laying ceremony of the new Parliament building, then Hon&rsquo;ble President Sh. Ramnath Kovind was kept away from the ceremony. At its inauguration, President Droupadi Murmu has been sidelined." "It is the upper caste, anti-backward mindset of the RSS because of which they are denied the respect that their high constitutional office deserves. Their deliberate exclusion shows PM Modi will use them as tokens for his electoral politics, but will not allow them to be part of such significant and historic occasions," Venugopal said.

Six 'Saptarishi' idols damaged at Ujjain's Mahakal temple corridor due to strong winds

Six out of the seven idols of 'Saptarishis' installed at the Mahakal Lok corridor in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain, collapsed and suffered damages due to gusty winds on Sunday

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had inaugurated the first phase of the Mahakal Lok corridor project in October last year.

Six out of the seven idols of 'Saptarishis' installed at the Mahakal Lok corridor, developed on the premises of Mahakaleshwar temple in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain, collapsed and suffered damages due to gusty winds on Sunday, but nobody was injured in the incident despite the presence of a large number of visitors, officials said.
The facility was shut for a few hours following the incident that occurred around 4 pm, they said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had inaugurated the first phase of the Mahakal Lok corridor project in October last year.
The incident gave ammunition to the opposition Congress to hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state, as it accused corruption in the project and demanded a probe into the "sub-standard" quality of construction.
"There are a total of 160 idols installed at the Mahakal Lok corridor, out of them six idols of 'Saptarishis' (seven sages) that were around 10 feet tall fell down around 4 pm as strong winds swept through the area," Ujjain Collector Kumar Purshottam said.
After that, the corridor was immediately closed. But when it was reopened at 7 pm, a large number of visitors again thronged the place, he said.
These damaged idols were not located inside the Mahakaleshwar temple, but in the Mahakal Lok corridor developed around it, he said, adding that they will be restored.

Wrestlers detained | Sengol bent on the very first day of new Parliament: MK Stalin

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Sunday reacted sharply to the police's detention of protesting wrestlers in Delhi and targeted the Centre, saying the 'Sengol' installed in the new Parliament building was "bent" the very first day.

Posting on Twitter, Stalin said months have passed since the women wrestlers raised the allegation against the BJP MP but the saffron party leadership has not acted against Singh.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Sunday reacted sharply to the police's detention of protesting wrestlers in Delhi and targeted the Centre over the issue, saying the 'Sengol' installed in the new Parliament building has "bent" the very first day.
Stalin's jibe at the PM Narendra Modi-led dispensation seemed to be targeted at the hype around the Sengol, as the sceptre is said to be symbolic of upright governance and the upholding of justice. It was installed in the new Parliament building on Sunday, after PM Modi inaugurated the structure in the national capital.
Stalin was reacting to the Delhi Police detaining ace wrestlers Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia for violation of law and order in the capital city after they breached the security cordon while trying to move towards the new Parliament building for a planned women's 'Mahapanchayat'.
The champion wrestlers had resumed their agitation against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on April 23, demanding his arrest for the alleged sexual harassment of several women grapplers, including a minor.
Posting on Twitter, Stalin said months have passed since the women wrestlers raised the allegation against the BJP MP but the saffron party leadership has not acted against Singh.
"Police detaining them after dragging them is condemnable. This shows the Sengol has bent the very first day. Is it fair that such atrocity should also happen on a day of (new Parliament building) inauguration that sidestepped the President and amid opposition boycott," Stalin, also chief of the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu, added.&nbsp;

The Congress leader is also likely to address Indian Americans and interact with Wall Street executives and university students during his week-long tour of the USA.

Rahul Gandhi set to travel to US on Monday, here's what his itinerary looks like

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi set to travel to United States for a three-city tour on Monday evening. 

The Congress leader is also likely to address Indian Americans and interact with Wall Street executives and university students during his week-long tour of the USA.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi received a new ordinary passport on Sunday, two days after a Delhi court gave its clearance, sources said.
The former Congress president, who had applied for an ordinary passport after surrendering the old diplomatic passport issued to him when he was a member of parliament, is set to travel to San Francisco in the United States on Monday evening on a three-city tour. Rahul Gandhi was disqualified as an MP in March following his conviction and two-year sentence by a Gujarat court in a defamation case over his Modi surname remark.
The sources said the passport office had assured Gandhi in the morning that the passport would be issued to him on Sunday and he got it in the afternoon.
The Congress leader had moved a Delhi court which on Friday granted the no-objection certificate to Gandhi for the issuance of an 'ordinary passport' for three years instead of 10, the period for which it is normally issued, following an objection by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy who is the complainant in the National Herald case. Gandhi is an accused in the case.
Starting with San Francisco where he is scheduled to interact with students at the prestigious Stanford University, Gandhi will address a press conference and have meetings with lawmakers and think tanks in Washington DC.
The Congress leader is also likely to address Indian Americans and interact with Wall Street executives and university students during his week-long tour of the USA. He is slated to conclude his trip with a public gathering in New York on June 4. The interaction would take place at the Javits Center in New York.
The court, while giving clearance for issuing the passport, noted that the National Herald case was pending at the stage of cross-examination of the complainant in pre-charge evidence and Gandhi has been regularly appearing either in person or through his counsel and has not hampered or delayed the proceedings.
An ordinary passport that is generally issued to adults is valid for 10 years.
On March 24, the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency in Kerala was declared vacant after Rahul Gandhi, who represented it in the Lok Sabha, was disqualified following his conviction in a defamation case in which he was sentenced to a two-year jail term.
The Congress leader's sentence has been suspended, pending appeal.&nbsp;

The CM said the latest round of &ldquo;conflict is not between communities but between Kuki militants and security forces&rdquo;.

Manipur unrest: CM Biren Singh says 40 militants killed in separate encounters

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Sunday said nearly 40 armed militants involved in torching houses and firing at civilians have been killed by security forces 

The CM said the latest round of &ldquo;conflict is not between communities but between Kuki militants and security forces&rdquo;.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Sunday said nearly 40 armed militants involved in torching houses and firing at civilians have been killed by security forces since they began an operation to bring peace to the north eastern state beset by ethnic rioting.
Singh&rsquo;s comments came in the backdrop of fresh clashes breaking out between armed groups and security forces at over half a dozen places across Manipur on Sunday. The Chief Minister who was interacting with the media persons at the state secretariat, claimed the latest round of &ldquo;conflict is not between communities but between Kuki militants and security forces&rdquo;.
Singh also said that there had been cases of armed militants firing at civilians with AK-47s, M-16 and sniper rifles. These militants were targeted by security forces in counter-attacks.
The CM appealed to the public not to hinder the movement of security personnel and urged them to have "faith in the government and support the security forces." &ldquo;We have experienced hardship for so long and we will never allow the state to disintegrate," Singh said.
He said many Kuki militants involved in killing civilians and destroying property and torching houses have been captured by the Jat regiment.
The latest clashes which erupted in the early hours of Sunday began after the army commenced combing operations to de-arm communities in order to bring peace, officials said.
The house of BJP MLA Khwairakpam Raghumani Singh at Uripok in Imphal West was vandalised and his two vehicles have been set on fire, a top security official told PTI.
He said that clashes broke out in the early hours of the morning at several places in different districts surrounding the Imphal Valley both between militant groups and security forces as well as between rival ethnic militant groups.
"According to our information, firing has been reported from Sugnu in Kakching, Kangvi in Churachandpur, Kangchup in Imphal West, Sagolmang in Imphal East, Nungoipokpi in Bishenpur, Khurkhul in Imphal West and YKPI in Kangpokpi," the official said.
New roadblocks have also sprung up in many areas manned by women which have delayed army columns on patrol. There was also an unconfirmed report of arms being looted from Kakching police station by a Meitei group, the official said.
Ethnic clashes which have claimed over 75 lives first broke out in Manipur after a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the hill districts on May 3 to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.
The violence was preceded by tension over the eviction of Kuki villagers from reserve forest land, which had led to a series of smaller agitations.
Meiteis account for about 53 per cent of Manipur's population and live mostly in the Imphal Valley. Tribal Nagas and Kukis constitute another 40 per cent of the population and reside in the hill districts.
Around 140 columns of the Indian Army and Assam Rifles, comprising over 10,000 personnel, besides those from other paramilitary forces had to be deployed to bring back normalcy in the Northeastern state.&nbsp;
