PM’s ‘Modi mantra’ to BJP workers for Muslims
National Desk | Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while calling upon the Muslim community across the country before the next year’s Lok Sabha elections and assembly elections in five states including Madhya Pradesh this year, today said that the Muslim community should understand which political parties provoked them regarding the Common Civil Code.

During this, lakhs of booth workers from across the country also joined this program virtually. Party President JP Nadda, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Madhya Pradesh unit president of the party Vishnu Dutt Sharma were also present in the event.
During this, he kept his point in straight words. He said that vote bank hungry people advocating triple talaq are doing great injustice to Muslim daughters. This is not only harming those daughters, its scope is bigger than that. He said that the parents who have sent their daughter with desires and then someone evicts her, then what will happen to those parents and that brother. Father and brother will all be drowned in his worry. Triple talaq does not just do injustice to daughters, entire families are ruined. If triple talaq was an important part of Islam, then why would many Muslim countries of the world end it. Why doesn’t this happen in Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, Qatar, Jordan, Syria. He said that the Muslim brothers of India also have to understand which political parties are trying to take advantage by provoking them. -

In Sikkim, the move towards organic is faltering. here’s why
East Sikkim/Soreng | District: On a bitterly cold day in January 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared Sikkim as India’s first organic farming state.
“Sikkim is an example in the sense that when the idea of organic farming was raised here in 2003, it was not that there could be no opposition… Despite this, I salute the lakhs of farmers in Sikkim who Gave.” “Stay on your path, don’t give up your will…and today the whole world will be clapping for Sikkim,” Modi said at the historic plenary session of the National Conference on Sustainable Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare in Gangtok. There are three major ethnic groups in Sikkim: Lepcha, Bhutia and Nepali. From 1642, Sikkim was ruled by the Chogyal (‘Dharma Raja’) – emperors of the Namgyal dynasty, who owned all the land in the state, and leased it to Bhutia and Lepcha nobles. The British, who made Sikkim a protectorate in 1861, encouraged Nepalese to migrate to the state for labour.
Researcher Anjan Chakraborty writes in his paper, Migration and Marginalization in the ‘Himalayan Kingdom’, “The migration of Nepalis to Sikkim brought about a technological change in agricultural practices in Sikkim, as neither the Bhutias nor the Lepchas had any knowledge of sustainable farming ” Sikkim. The elite used to lease land to Nepali immigrants for cultivation.
Researcher Debasish Das, in his 1994 book Sikkim: Society, Polity, Economy, Environment, writes about the “unequal distribution of land ownership” in the state. According to the ‘State Focus Papers 2023-24’ published by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, small and marginal farmers with an average land holding of 0.62 hectares (1.532 acres) account for 79% of the total land holdings.
It is easier to convert to organic in a “small state with small holdings” than in a larger state, Kunga Samdup, joint director of the Sikkim government’s agriculture department, told IndiaSpend.
In 2002-03, the state used 9.9 kg of nitrogenous and phosphatic (NPK) fertilizers per hectare of crop area, before former Chief Minister Pawan Chamling announced the government’s policy to convert the state to “fully organic”. It was the lowest in the country after Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh. Compare this with states like Punjab, which used 172 kg of fertilizer per hectare in 2002-03, and Haryana, which used 150.4 kg of fertilizer per hectare.
