    Congress leader accuses Defense Minister of lying in Chhattisgarh

    Raipur. The Congress has hit out at Union Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement on increasing conversions in Chhattisgarh. Congress spokesperson Sushil Anand Shukla accused the Defense Minister of lying and said that conversion took place in Raman Raj. The RSS people do the gimmick of conversion by wearing the robes of priests. He is a Union Minister, why doesn’t he make a law on this by talking to PM Modi?

    It is clear that BJP wants conversion to happen in Chhattisgarh. Congress Communications Department President Sushil Anand Shukla said on the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Ministers to Chhattisgarh that Union Ministers are coming to Chhattisgarh to fulfill their political objectives. Small-fat ministers often roam here, but they did not tell how much the people of Chhattisgarh would benefit from the schemes of their department. Even the Lok Sabha MPs do not take advantage of his visit in their respective constituencies. Union Ministers are baking bread by coming here only for politics.

    On Dr. Raman Singh’s statement that coming of Rahul Baba will not make any difference in Chhattisgarh, Sushil Anand Shukla said that Raman Singh should see what is his condition here. There has been a change in the life of the people of the state under the Congress rule. BJP does not make any leader stand in front of CM Bhupesh. They are not even making Dr. Raman Singh, who was CM for 15 years, a small face.

  • Under the guidance and leadership of the Prime Minister, unprecedented work is being done in the field of cultural renaissance of the country: Defense Minister Rajnath Singh

    Under the guidance and leadership of the Prime Minister, unprecedented work is being done in the field of cultural renaissance of the country: Defense Minister Rajnath Singh

    Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the Saurashtra-Tamil Sangam programme, the country’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that Tamil Nadu and Gujarat in the presence of the world’s first Jyotirlinga Somnath Mahadev; This program of union of these two states shows the cultural splendor of India. In the holy presence of Lord Somnath Mahadev and in the inspiring presence of dignitaries including Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, the ‘Saurashtra-Tamil Sangam’ program was grandly inaugurated on Monday by the lotus hands of Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. Saurashtra-Tamil Sangam program has been organized in Gujarat in the direction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream of ‘One India-Best India’, due to which the Tamil people who have come here have got the opportunity to see Lord Somnath and their ancestral land. .

    Along with border security, economic security, food security, social security, cyber security, security of culture is also essential in the country today.

    Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that along with border security, economic security, food security, social security, cyber security, security of culture is also essential in the country today. Border security is necessary to keep the border of any nation safe, similarly cultural security is also very important to maintain its identity. He said that unprecedented work is being done in this direction under the guidance and leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We have become witnesses of the cultural renaissance era of the country.

    This program of meeting of two states shows the cultural splendor of India.

    Rajnath Singh further said that due to the efforts of the Prime Minister, a grand event of the Kashi-Tamil Sangam had taken place in the past. Such events further strengthen the ties between the different cultures of India and strengthen the unity of the country. India is an idea as well as a feeling which cannot be explained in words. Even centuries of foreign invasions could not destroy this idea. Similarly, many attacks on the land of Saurashtra by sea route could not break the spirit of Saurashtra. The invaders looted wealth, they simultaneously broke and destroyed temples, houses, schools, libraries, but those invaders could not break the morale of the people of Saurashtra and the people of Saurashtra have been rising again and again. Such Saurashtrians settled in Tamil Nadu centuries ago to save their religion and culture, prospered with their hard work and wisdom, and contributed significantly to the development of Tamil Nadu.

    Various programs will be organized in Gir Somnath and Dwarka till 30th April

    Mixing with each other like sugar in milk and adopting others is a distinctive feature of Indian culture. The Saurashtra-Tamil Sangam is a classic example of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’. Today, when such original Saurashtra resident Tamils have come on a journey to their ancestral land, then such a confluence seems as if the waters of the western sea of India are merging with the waters of the southern sea. The Defense Minister further said that ‘Janani Janmabhoomischa Swargad Api Gariyasi’ means mother and motherland are higher than heaven. Today’s holy confluence has become a live example of this verse and spirit. He said that today
    The program is taking forward the program of inviting Tamil brothers by Saurashtra University in the year 2006 under the guidance of the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi.

    300 Tamil yatris reached Somnath on the first day of the ten-day program

    Recalling saints like Venkataraman, Tyagarag Bhagwapar and Narasimha Mehta of Gujarat on the occasion, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that the devotional Saurashtrian Tamils carried forward the tradition of worshiping Lord Krishna. Lord Someshwara Shiva resides at one end of the sea, while at the other end is Rameshwaram established by Lord Rama. This confluence is a wonderful confluence connecting both the cultures. The history of this community has been one of development. Referring to the contribution of Saurashtra in the field of art, literature and language, Rajnath Singh further said that all these areas have been considered with precision in this Sangam. I am sure that this confluence will prove to be an important step in the development of both the states and the people of both the states.

  • Lord Ram our country’s identity, not merely embodiment in stone or wood: Rajnath Singh

    Lord Ram our country’s identity, not merely embodiment in stone or wood: Rajnath Singh

    Lord Ram is India’s identity and not merely an embodiment in stone or wood, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Thursday.

    He asserted that the government will construct hospitals, schools, set up industries and also build temples. Singh was speaking at a conclave here on the occasion of Ram Navami.

    “When it came to the construction of Ram temple, a lot of people had started giving their thoughts on it. Some people had suggested that a hospital be built at the site, while others said a school can be built. Some even suggested that an industry could be set up. These were the people who do not understand Lord Ram or have not embraced him,” he said.

    “Lord Ram is not merely an embodiment in stone, wood or soil, he is the centre of our culture and faith,” he said. “Lord Ram is our identity as well as that of our country,” Singh said.

    “We will build hospitals, schools and industry. And, we will build temples also,” he added.

    In his address, the defence minister also noted that the northeast has come closer to Delhi and ‘dil’ (heart) of people due to the Centre’s efforts.

    Today, there is “unprecedented peace” in the northeast due to which AFSPA has been removed from various parts of the region, he said.

    Singh added that “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” is not merely a slogan but has become a people’s movement.

    “As the defence minister, I can say that today women, by becoming a part of the armed forces, are further
    strengthening it. They are flying fighter jets as fighter pilots. Recently, I approved the induction of women in artillery,” he said.

    With the participation of women in armed forces, we are moving ahead together in the direction of women empowerment and in strengthening of the armed forces, he said.
