‘Not much difference between Yogi & Mamata’, says Congress leader Adhir Chowdhury

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Thursday told ANI that there is not much of a difference between Yogi Ji and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee. He claimed that Bengal is acing in reporting the maximum amount of gang rapes, political violence, and murders.

“Claims (by WB CM Mamata Banerjee) of not letting Bengal become Hathras or Unnao sounds good, but there’s not much difference between Yogi Ji & her. Both of them do wrong work. Bengal is acing in reporting maximum amount of gang rapes, political violence, murders,” Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury told news agency ANI.

The Congress leader also compared Hathras and Hanskhali incidents and said that both of the incidents don’t have much difference in them.

“Hathras & Hanskhali, both are condemnable incidents & don’t have much difference in them… a Dalit in both incidents, CMs & police trying to save their image…” ANI quoted Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury saying.

On Wednesday Mamata Banerjee claimed that the Hanskhali case was a suicide case that was turned into a rape case and alleged that BJP and CPI(M) are trying to defame Bengal.

 

I&B Ministry Blocks 16 Youtube News Channels For Spreading Disinformation

On Monday, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting issued directions for blocking sixteen YouTube-based news channels and one Facebook account by utilizing the emergency powers under the IT Rules, 2021.

According to a statement, the blocked social media accounts include six Pakistan-based and ten India-based YouTube news channels, having a cumulative viewership of over 68 crore.

The channels were used to spread fake news over social media on matters related to national security, India’s foreign relations, communal harmony in the country, and public order. None of the digital news publishers had furnished information to the Ministry as required under rule 18 of the IT Rules, 2021.

Ministry of Information & Broadcasting stated that the content published by some of the India based YouTube channels referred to a community as terrorists, and incited hatred among the members of various religious communities. Such content was found to have the potential to create communal disharmony, and disturb public order.

Multiple India based YouTube channels were observed to publish unverified news and videos having the potential to create panic among various sections of the society.

Examples include false claims related to announcement of a pan-India lockdown due to COVID-19 thereby threatening the migrant workers, and fabricated claims alleging threats to certain religious communities, etc.

YouTube channels based in Pakistan were found to have been used in a coordinated manner to post fake news about India on various subjects such as the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir, and India’s foreign relations in the light of situation in Ukraine, etc. The content of these channels was observed to be completely false, and sensitive from the perspective of national security, sovereignty and integrity of India, and India’s friendly relations with foreign States.

 

Ukraine-returned students admitted to State Colleges, Announces Mamata Banerjee

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday announced that the Bengal government will accommodate students who had returned from Ukraine. She also blamed the Centre for not taking any responsibility for the students and said that the students cannot spend a huge amount of money on their education in another foreign country.

“Two months passed, Centre has not yet taken any responsibility for the students who have returned from Ukraine. We had asked the Centre to allow us to accommodate them at different colleges. Instead, they have just asked the students to go to Poland and Hungary for their studies. It is not possible for the students to spend a huge amount again in another foreign country. But we have chalked out a plan for the students,” she said while speaking to the press.

Banerjee said that out of the 422 returnees from Ukraine, 409 are MBBS students, three are in a dental course and one is pursuing veterinary course. While six are engineering students, three are labourers.

She said that the six engineering students have been offered seats in private colleges and two of them have already joined the course while others are in the process of joining.

Among the three dental students, the one who has completed his studies, have been given an internship at a government dental college while the remaining two will be allowed in practical classes at the same college, she told reporters.

Out of the three workers, two have been appointed on casual basis at a district magistrate’s office while the third one has already got a job and moved to Dubai, Banerjee said.

The CM said that the veterinary student has been provided admission at the West Bengal University of Animal & Fishery Sciences.

Out of 409 MBBS students a total of 23 sixth year medical students will be allowed to undergo internship at government medical colleges. The fifth-year and fourth-year students, a total of 135, will be allowed to undergo ‘observing seats’ in different medical colleges.

As many as 172 third year and second year medical students will be allowed to attend practical classes, Banerjee said.

She said that 78 first year students who are qualified for the 2021 session would be allowed for counselling immediately at private medical colleges against management quota seats as fresh admission.

 

Form team of entrepreneurs to suggest reforms in banking: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Global Patidar Business Summit (GPBS), being organized by Sardardham, on Friday via video conferencing.

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said, “It is constant effort of the government that youth of the ordinary families can also become entrepreneurs and dream and take pride in entrepreneurship”

PM asked the business community to form a team of entrepreneurs and experts to suggest reforms in banking and other sectors and to point out the shortcomings.

“I urge you to form a team of entrepreneurs and experts to suggest shortcomings and reforms in banking and other sectors and how to change it,” said PM.

The Prime Minister said schemes like Mudra Yojna are giving strength to those people to get into business who never dreamed about doing so. Similarly, Start Up India is helping in realization of innovation, talent and dreams of Unicorn which appeared inaccessible earlier.

Modi said that every small and big business is contributing to the national progress and  this spirit of Sabka Prayas is becoming strength of the New India in the Amrit Kaal. He expressed happiness that the Summit this year is discussing this aspect in detail.

Modi called for a new outlook towards financial empires. He emphasized that it may be decided that industries can be based in small cities instead of big cities. He gave example of Jyotirgram Yojna which triggered industrial activities in villages. Now such work can be done for small town and cities, he said.

Sardardham is organizing GPBS under ‘Mission 2026’ to provide an impetus to socio-economic development of Patidar community. The Summit is organized every two years. The first two Summits were held in Gandhinagar in 2018 and 2020, and the current Summit is now being held in Surat. The main theme of GPBS 2022 is “Aatmanirbhar Community to Aatmanirbhar Gujarat and India”.
