The Special MP-MLA courtroom in Prayagraj on Tuesday held gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and two others responsible in Umesh Pal kidnapping case and sentenced all of the three to life imprisonment. The courtroom acquitted the remaining seven accused together with Atiq’s brother Khalid Azim alias Ashraf. On Monday, Atiq was introduced in a police convoy to Naini jail after a 24-hour lengthy, 1270 km journey by street from Sabarmati jail in Gujarat. There was apprehension that Atiq’s van might overturn and he could possibly be killed in an encounter, however UP police took all care in bringing him to Naini jail. Mafia don Atiq Ahmed is not any bizarre felony. He is the image of that darkish age in UP, when gangsters used to get political safety and perform murders, kidnappings, land seize, and went scot-free. These gangsters held sway over massive swathes of UP for almost 4 many years, regardless of which occasion was in energy. It was tough to search out witnesses and proof towards them. Governments modified, however these mafia dons dominated the roost. Policemen used to concern them. It was Yogi Adityanath as chief minister, who put an finish to their crimes and went about to uproot these gangsters. He took twin-fold motion. He jailed these gangsters, and on the similar time, minimize off their earnings line and razed their unlawful properties utilizing bulldozers. You can be stunned to know that Rs 1,168 crore price properties belonging to Atiq Ahmed have both been hooked up or razed. Such agency motion broke the again of felony mafia gangs in UP. Yogi didn’t spare even those that have been offering assist to those gangsters. Even their properties have been razed utilizing bulldozers. Such motion has instilled concern within the minds of criminals and the frequent man’s religion within the system has been restored. 178 criminals have been killed in encounters and greater than 23,000 criminals have been arrested. As a consequence, criminals feared coming into UP. Hardcore felony gangsters like Atiq Ahmed and Mukhtar Ansari, lodged in jails of different states, feared being delivered to jail in UP. Such a way of concern within the minds of mafia dons is sweet for the betterment of UP and its folks. I feel, driving concern within the minds of criminals is the most important achievement of Yogi Adityanath.
RAHUL TO VACATE HIS BUNGALOW
Congress chief Rahul Gandhi has been requested to vacate his authorities bungalow at 12, Tughlak Lane, by April 22, following his disqualification from Lok Sabha membership. On Tuesday, Rahul wrote to the involved official that “without prejudice to my rights, I shall abide by the details contained in your letter”. Those who know Modi’s coverage on getting authorities bungalows vacated, shouldn’t be stunned over this order. Modi authorities didn’t present leniency to any MP, as soon as she or he misplaced membership. From 2014 to 2015, almost 200 former MPs needed to vacate their lodging inside every week. After 2019 elections, MPs who misplaced, additionally needed to vacate their lodging. Ministers like Radhamohan Singh and Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, who have been dropped from the cupboard, needed to vacate massive bungalows usually allotted to ministers. Earlier governments used to make use of this a device for granting political favour. Top leaders, who misplaced elections, used to occupy bungalows for a few years. Some of them retained their bungalows on floor of safety, some paid market hire, and a few obtained their bungalows allotted within the identify of one other MP. Modi stopped this observe. Many former MPs have been sad with Modi due to this. Lalu Prasad Yadav wished to retain his bungalow, citing his medical situation, however he was no extra MP. He wished his bungalow be allotted to an MP belonging to his occasion. He tried onerous to foyer, however failed. Chirag Paswan wished to retain the bungalow the place his father Late Ramvilas Paswan used to remain. When Ramvilas Paswan was no extra MP, no person tried to get his bungalow vacated, however Modi authorities didn’t present leniency. Late Ajit Singh’s son Jayant Chaudhary wished to retain the bungalow the place as soon as Chaudhary Charan Singh and Ajit Singh used to remain. But Modi authorities allotted the bungalow to any individual else. Not solely opposition leaders, even former BJP minister Late Jaswant Singh additionally needed to vacate his bungalow. Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj led by instance. They instantly vacated their bungalows as soon as they have been no extra ministers, and shifted to their very own homes. Both of them might have continued to remain in massive authorities properties on account of seniority and well being. But they most well-liked ethics over private consolation. But supporters of Rahul Gandhi are sure to make it a problem. Modi’s authorities just isn’t going to grant any concession. I bear in mind the time when Sitaram Kesri was Congress president and a staunch opponent of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. When Kesri ceased to be an MP, Vajpayee instantly allotted the bungalow to Kesri from freedom fighters’ quota. Times have now modified. Whosoever will be the chief, belonging to whichever occasion, she or he won’t get any concession throughout Modi’s rule.
SHOULD GANDHI-NEHRU FAMILY BE ABOVE LAW?
On Monday, MPs belonging to Congress, DMK, Samajwadi occasion, JD(U), BRS, CPI)M), RJD, NCP, Muslims League, Trinamool Congress, Aam Aadmi Party, National Conference and Shiv Sena got here to Parliament carrying black costume and demanded JPC probe into Adani challenge. Congress MP Pramod Tiwari mentioned, ‘Rahul Gandhi is no common man, he comes from a family that fought for freedom and two Prime Ministers became martyrs, therefore any government decision about Rahul should be taken with care’. Union Minister Piyush Goyal responded, by asking, ‘let Congress say that there should be a separate law for Gandhi-Nehru family and that Rahul should be above law’. BJP leaders know that Gandhi-Nehru household is the Achilles heel of Congress occasion. Congress leaders usually cite the assassinations of two prime ministers from that household. There is nothing unsuitable on this. But when Congress leaders mentioned that the martyrdoms from Gandhi-Nehru household have to be saved in thoughts when a courtroom offers its sentence, BJP leaders shortly identified that there have been so many leaders who have been sentenced by courts, some have been disqualified from legislatures, however no person raised a voice. While Gandhi-Nehru household has the legacy of martyrdom, there’s additionally a protracted historical past related to this household. It was throughout Congress rule that Lalu Prasad Yadav was despatched to jail, disproportionate belongings case was filed towards Mulayam Singh Yadav, proper to freedom of speech was curbed, judges of Supreme Court have been outdated. So, elevating the difficulty of legacy is usually a double-edged sword for the Congress.
RAHUL INSULTING VEER SAVARKAR
A brand new challenge has arisen over Veer Savarkar’s legacy and his contribution to freedom battle. Rahul Gandhi mentioned at a press convention that ‘I am not Savarkar, I am a Gandhi and Gandhis never apologize’. Rahul’s dialogue sounded candy to the ears of Congress leaders, however for Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, it spells bother. Uddhav, expressing anger, requested Rahul to chorus from insulting Savarkar. As a protest, Shiv Sena didn’t attend a dinner for opposition leaders hosted by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday night time. In the previous, Rahul had described Veer Savarkar as ‘maafi-veer’ a number of instances. Savarkar’s household has filed defamation case towards Rahul, and the latter needed to seem in courtroom. Those who’ve learn historical past know, Savarkar was an incredible patriot. After his first arrest in London, when he was being introduced in a ship to India, he jumped into the water, however was quickly caught. For the subsequent 25 years, Savarkar remained in British prisons, and he was given ‘kaala paani’ sentence and lodged within the Andaman Cellular Jail. Even immediately, vacationers from mainland India flock to see the Andaman Cellular Jail the place Savarkar was incarcerated by the British rulers. Later, as a part of a method, Savarkar did write letters looking for clemency from the British. There might be dispute over this, however no person ought to query his patriotism and loyalty to the nation. In Maharashtra, Savarkar is worshipped by folks, and so they can’t tolerate anyone insulting Savarkar. Shiv Sena, because the days of its founder Balasaheb Thackeray, used to contemplate Savarkar as an idol. In 2018, when Mani Shankar Aiyar blamed Savarkar for India’s partition, an enraged Uddhav Thackeray mentioned, ‘if I get Rahul or Mani Shankar Aiyar, I will beat them with chappal’. Now the identical Shiv Sena is an ally of Congress in Maha Vikas Aghadi. It is turning into tough for Uddhav to inform the Maratha voters about his occasion’s stand.
