‘राजा शिवाजी’ फिल्म को टैक्स फ्री करने की मांग तेज: मुजफ्फरनगर में शिवसेना का प्रदर्शन, सीएम को सौंपा ज्ञापन

मुजफ्फरनगर छत्रपति शिवाजी महाराज के जीवन पर आधारित फिल्म ‘राजा शिवाजी’ को लेकर एक नई बहस शुरू हो गई है। शिव सेना कार्यकर्ताओं ने जिला प्रशासन के माध्यम से मुख्यमंत्री को ज्ञापन भेजकर फिल्म को उत्तर प्रदेश में टैक्स फ्री घोषित करने की मांग की. यह मांग न केवल राजनीतिक बल्कि सांस्कृतिक दृष्टि से भी महत्वपूर्ण मानी जा रही है।


शिव सेना का कलक्ट्रेट पर प्रदर्शन, सिटी मजिस्ट्रेट को सौंपा ज्ञापन

पश्चिम प्रदेश उपप्रमुख प्रमोद अग्रवाल के आह्वान पर कार्यकर्ता जिला प्रमुख बिट्टू सिखेड़ा के नेतृत्व में कलक्ट्रेट पहुंचे और अपनी मांगें रखीं। जिला अधिकारी की अनुपस्थिति में सिटी मजिस्ट्रेट पंकज प्रकाश राठौड़ को मुख्यमंत्री के नाम एक ज्ञापन सौंपा गया.

ज्ञापन में फिल्म को टैक्स फ्री करने की अपील करते हुए कहा गया कि यह सिर्फ एक सिनेमाई प्रस्तुति नहीं, बल्कि ऐतिहासिक विरासत को लोगों तक पहुंचाने का माध्यम है.


शिवाजी महाराज को राष्ट्रीय गौरव और प्रेरणा का प्रतीक बताया गया

ज्ञापन में शिव सेना पदाधिकारियों ने छत्रपति शिवाजी महाराज को देशभक्ति, स्वाभिमान और सांस्कृतिक चेतना का प्रतीक बताया और कहा कि उनके जीवन पर आधारित फिल्में नई पीढ़ी को इतिहास से जोड़ने का प्रभावी माध्यम बन सकती हैं.

उन्होंने इस बात पर जोर दिया कि आज के युवाओं को उनके गौरवशाली अतीत से परिचित कराना जरूरी है और इस दिशा में ऐसी फिल्मों की भूमिका काफी अहम हो सकती है.


इतिहास युवाओं तक पहुंचे, इसलिए टैक्स फ्री जरूरी-शिवसेना

अधिकारियों ने कहा कि अगर फिल्म को टैक्स फ्री कर दिया जाता है तो अधिक से अधिक छात्र, युवा और आम नागरिक इसे आसानी से देख सकेंगे. इससे न केवल ऐतिहासिक समझ बढ़ेगी बल्कि देशभक्ति की भावना भी मजबूत होगी।

उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि आर्थिक बाधाएं अक्सर लोगों को सिनेमाघरों तक पहुंचने से रोकती हैं, इसलिए कर छूट से दर्शकों की संख्या बढ़ सकती है।


ऐतिहासिक फिल्मों को बढ़ावा देने की मांग

ज्ञापन में इस बात पर विशेष जोर दिया गया कि सरकारी स्तर पर इतिहास आधारित फिल्मों को प्रोत्साहित किया जाये. इससे समाज में सकारात्मक संदेश जाता है और सांस्कृतिक मूल्य मजबूत होते हैं।

शिव सेना नेताओं ने कहा कि अगर फिल्में मनोरंजन के साथ-साथ शिक्षाप्रद भी हों तो उनका प्रभाव कहीं अधिक व्यापक होता है.


स्थानीय स्तर पर सक्रियता दिखी, कई कार्यकर्ता मौजूद रहे

इस मौके पर प्रमोद अग्रवाल, बिट्टू सिखेड़ा, लोकेश कश्यप, लोकेश गुप्ता, संजीव गर्ग, मनीष चौधरी, शुभम वाल्मिकी, जतिन कुमार, जॉनी सोनकर, राजीव पाल, सुनील कुमार, रवि कटारिया, संजय त्यागी, संदीप ठाकुर, मोहनलाल, दिनेश, मुकेश और लवकुश समेत बड़ी संख्या में कार्यकर्ता मौजूद रहे।

कर्मचारियों ने एकजुट होकर अपनी मांगें पुरजोर तरीके से रखीं और प्रशासन से जल्द कार्रवाई की उम्मीद जताई.


सरकार से सकारात्मक निर्णय की उम्मीद है

शिवसेना नेताओं ने भरोसा जताया कि राज्य सरकार उनकी मांग पर गंभीरता से विचार करेगी और फिल्म को टैक्स फ्री घोषित करने की दिशा में फैसला ले सकती है. उनका मानना ​​है कि ऐसे कदम सांस्कृतिक विरासत के संरक्षण में अहम भूमिका निभाते हैं.


मुजफ्फरनगर से उठी फिल्म ‘राजा शिवाजी’ को टैक्स फ्री करने की यह मांग अब प्रदेश स्तर पर चर्चा का विषय बन रही है. सांस्कृतिक पहचान, इतिहास से जुड़ाव और युवाओं में जागरूकता जैसे पहलुओं को ध्यान में रखते हुए अब सबकी निगाहें सरकार के फैसले पर हैं, जो इस मुद्दे को एक नई दिशा दे सकता है.

ZSI | Snapper spotted in Gopalpur-on-Sea for the first time in India, reports Bhubaneswar News

Snapper spotted in Gopalpur-on-Sea for the first time in India, reports ZSI
A snapper species found for the first time in Indian waters

Berhampur: In an important contribution to Indian marine fish taxonomy, researchers from Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) and Fakir Mohan University, Balasore, have recorded a new snapper species ‘Lutjanus arakan’ in Indian waters for the first time off Gopalpur in Ganjam district.“This discovery was important because snappers have high commercial value as food fish and most species are reef-associated residents with vibrant body colouration,” said Anil Mahapatra, a senior scientist at ZSI who led the study. The description of the new species in the country was published in Zootaxa, an international journal, in its latest edition on May 5.During their field study, the researchers collected a sample of the species from the fish-landing station in Gopalpur-on-Sea on November 8, 2024. During the study, they found that it was discovered off the coast of Bangladesh, a first and new to the country.“To identify the exact species, the team conducted integrated taxonomy, morphologically the species is distinguished from other snappers by its unique body colour, which has a reddish-silver color with a series of four dark-reddish brown horizontal stripes extending from the head to the back,” said Mahapatra, who is also in-charge of ZSI’s Estuarine Biology Regional Center (EBRC), Gopalpur.“While the upper body of the snapper is mostly dark brown to black, its central fins are dark reddish brown, and its paired fins appear translucent pink. Molecular analysis has shown that the species is genetically distinct from closely related species and aligns with ‘Lutjanus arakan’,” he said.This discovery will contribute to the field of biodiversity in the Bay of Bengal and document the marine species found in the south-western India-specific area by EBRC, ZSI.Other members of the team include Rajesh Kumar Behera, Swaroop Ranjan Mohanty, Smritirekha Acharya, EBRC, TKS Thathachari and Bhaskar Behera, Fakir Mohan University, Balasore, and retired scientist Subhrendu Shekhar Mishra, ZSI, who have studied the species before it was new to the country.

Hajj 2026 rules: Saudi Arabia tightens Hajj 2026 rules; Violators could face SAR20,000 fine, deportation and 10-year entry ban World News

Saudi Arabia tightens rules for Hajj 2026; Violators could face a SAR20,000 fine, deportation and a 10-year entry ban

saudi arabia has announced tough new penalties for residents and visitors attempting to perform Hajj without an official permit, as authorities stepped up efforts to control overcrowding and improve the safety of pilgrims during the Hajj 1447 Hijri.The Saudi Ministry of Interior confirmed that anyone caught performing or attempting to perform Hajj without a valid permit could face a fine of up to SAR20,000. Foreign residents who violate the rules will also be subject to deportation and a 10-year ban from re-entering the state.The announcement comes as Saudi authorities tightened rules ahead of the annual pilgrimage season, one of the world’s largest religious gatherings, attended by millions of Muslims globally.

Saudi Arabia’s new Hajj rules

Saudi Arabia has made it clear that only officially authorized pilgrims will be allowed to enter Mecca and holy sites during the Hajj season. Officials said obtaining a legal Haj permit is now a mandatory requirement for all pilgrims, including residents already inside the kingdom.The Interior Ministry said the restrictions apply from the first day of Dhu al-Qi’dah to the 14th day of Dhu al-Hijjah. During this period, visit visa holders are prohibited from entering or staying in Mecca without proper Hajj authorization.Saudi officials said the measures are aimed at ensuring smooth crowd management, reducing overcrowding and protecting pilgrims during extreme summer temperatures. Last year’s Hajj season saw major concerns over overcrowding and heat-related deaths, forcing authorities to strengthen permit enforcement this year.

fines and penalties

The crackdown does not just target unauthorized pilgrims. Saudi authorities have instituted strict penalties for anyone helping violators enter Mecca illegally.According to the Ministry of Interior, individuals or companies that transport, shelter or assist unauthorized pilgrims may face a fine of up to SAR100,000. The fine may increase depending on the number of violators involved.The rules apply to:

  • Travel Agents and Facilitators
  • accommodation provider
  • vehicle owner and driver
  • persons concealing or assisting violators

Officials also warned that vehicles used to transport illegal pilgrims could be confiscated through court orders.Saudi Arabia has additionally suspended Umrah permits through the Nussuaq platform during the Hajj season to prevent overlap between Umrah visitors and Hajj pilgrims.

Saudi Arabia urges visitors to follow rules

The Interior Ministry urged citizens, residents and all visa holders to strictly follow Hajj rules to avoid serious legal consequences. Authorities encouraged the public to report violators through emergency hotlines, including 911 in Mecca, Medina, Riyadh and the Eastern Province, and 999 in other areas.Saudi authorities have already begun enforcement action. In a recent incident, police in Mecca arrested a resident accused of promoting fake Hajj permits through social media platforms. The suspect was referred to public prosecutors.Officials stressed that the “No Hajj without a permit” campaign is designed to improve security, streamline the movement of pilgrims, and ensure that emergency services can effectively manage the huge crowds expected during Hajj 2026.

Digital control for Hajj 2026

Saudi Arabia has relied on digital permit systems, surveillance technology and strict visa controls as part of its broader Vision 2030 strategy to modernize religious tourism. Authorities are using these measures to better monitor the number of pilgrims and prevent unregistered visitors from entering restricted areas during Hajj.Officials say the strict enforcement reflects the kingdom’s long-term strategy to make the hajj safer, more organized and easier to manage as demand from global pilgrims continues to grow.

West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026: How split in minority votes helped BJP break into TMC strongholds. india news

West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026: How split in minority votes helped BJP break into TMC strongholds?

The 2026 assembly elections have turned the political fortunes of West Bengal into saffron. BJP Not only won, he swept the state. But beyond the blockbuster headline numbers, the real political plot twist is where some of its most surprising successes came: the Muslim-majority and Muslim-influenced constituencies it had been working on for decades. Mamata BanerjeeSupport system of. These weren’t just routine victories, these were TMCThe bastion of which was once considered politically untouchable. However, this time the old equations have been reversed and the election book of Bengal is being rewritten.For years, Bengal’s minority vote, especially in districts like Murshidabad, Malda and North Dinajpur, was seen not just as a demographic factor but as a political stronghold. Firstly, it protected the left front. Then, after the rise of Mamata Banerjee in 2011, it became one of the strongest pillars of the Trinamool Congress. The formula was simple and remarkably effective: unify Muslim voters, engage them with women-centric welfare support, position TMC as Bengal’s savior against Hindutva politics, and neutralize the BJP challenge. That strategy performed brilliantly in 2021. Mamata Banerjee won 215 seats, while despite an aggressive national campaign, the BJP was restricted to 77. In the minority belt of Bengal, especially 43 seats in Murshidabad, Malda and North Dinajpur, TMC dominated 35 seats, while BJP won just 8 seats. Murshidabad alone, where Muslims constitute more than two-thirds of the population, gave TMC 20 out of 22 seats.Five years later, that political certainty has been dealt a severe blow.It is not necessary that in the 2026 elections, the bulk of Muslims will be inclined towards BJP. Instead, it has revealed something perhaps even more important politically: the minority vote in Bengal no longer functions as a cohesive block. That fragmentation, combined with the BJP’s disciplined Hindutva consolidation, local anti-incumbency, welfare competition, identity politics and strong grassroots systems, created a new electoral equation that went beyond even the TMC’s most protected constituencies.

Figures behind political earthquake

The scale of change becomes clear when 2021 is compared with 2026.In 2021:

  • TMC won 215 seats across the state
  • BJP won 77 seats

2026 was a moment of complete script reversal, a shock that gave BJP 206 seats, while TMC’s map was reduced to 80 seats.Now, let us focus on the important minority belt of Bengal:

-

Overall, TMC’s dominance on these 43 seats created a significant safety net.In 2026, BJP almost doubled its seats in these districts, from 8 to around 18-19 seats, while TMC lost significant ground. Of the seats with widespread minority-influence, out of an estimated 142 constituencies across the state, the BJP reportedly won 72, the TMC 64, while the Congress, CPI(M) and others won the rest.This was not just a swap of seats, but a major upset in the political game of Bengal.

Biggest factor: Dispersion of minority votes

The most defining story of Bengal 2026 is that Muslim voters, long considered strategically united anti-BJP, were divided across multiple political channels.

-

Instead of TMC emerging as the sole anti-BJP beneficiary, the Muslim vote got divided among:

  • TMC
  • Congress
  • CPI(M)
  • Indian Secular Front (ISF)
  • Humayun Kabir’s Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP)
  • Small regional parties and independents

This fragmentation proved disastrous for TMC in tightly contested seats. here’s whyIn 2021, the electoral logic in many minority-heavy seats was binary: TMC or BJP. Strategic voting often happens due to fear of BJP.In 2026, local discontent, anti-incumbency, allegations of corruption, candidate fatigue and the revival of dormant opposition players changed that pattern.This meant that the BJP often did not need dramatic expansion of Muslim support. All it needed was opposition votes to split it.

Murshidabad: Cracked Fort

Murshidabad became the most visible symbol of this change.Historically one of TMC’s safest minority strongholds, Murshidabad’s more than 66 per cent Muslim population had made it a politically difficult area for the BJP.In 2021:

  • TMC: 20 seats
  • BJP: 2 seats

In 2026:As the BJP moved forward and many opposition players moved into the TMC core, TMC’s dominance rapidly weakened.The Humayun Kabir factor was particularly important. A former TMC stalwart, Kabir’s AJUP emerged as a local disintegrator by converting anti-TMC discontent into political relevance. AJUP reportedly won seats like Rejinagar and Nauda, ​​while there was strong voting elsewhere, spoiling TMC’s arithmetic.At the same time:

  • Congress’s hold becomes stronger again in Rani Nagar
  • CPI (M) demonstrated strongly in Domkal
  • Left and Congress together made a dent in TMC’s traditional Muslim support

The result was politically seismic: the BJP could win or become competitive even without dominating minority voters, because TMC was no longer monopolizing them.

Malda: TMC suffers loss due to survival of Congress

Malda politics has always been more important due to the historical roots of Congress.In 2026, Congress may not necessarily dominate, but its revival matters a lot.Even Congress’s slight lead among minority voters was enough to reduce TMC’s margin. Combined with the Hindu solidarity of the BJP, this brought about major changes.Englishbazar became an extraordinary example, where BJP candidate Amlan Bhaduri reportedly won by more than 93,000 votes, showing this difference:

  • consolidated hindu voting
  • support of business class
  • minority fragmentation
  • TMC’s slippage

Malda proved that TMC no longer has automatic ownership of the anti-BJP minority arithmetic.

Uttar Dinajpur: Identity politics sharpens division

In North Dinajpur, the rise of the BJP was shaped by both fragmentation and identity mobilization.Party campaign:

  • Sir (Special Intensive Review)
  • checking voter list
  • “Ineligible voters” allegations
  • OBC and Rajbanshi concerns

Helped in uniting a section of Hindu voters

-

At the same time, the Congress and the Left retained enough influence to hurt the TMC in close contests.In many seats, the combined Congress-Left votes exceeded TMC’s defeat margin.This pattern became central to the BJP’s Bengal strategy: hold your vote, let the opposition divide.

sir and electoral identity

The SIR exercise became one of the most politically charged subtexts of the election.Large-scale deletion of voters’ names in some minority-dominated districts sparked anger and controversy. TMC argued that this had an adverse impact on its support base.Yet contrary to expectations, the fear of voters being cut off did not fully unite Muslim voters behind the TMC.Instead, local grievances often push voters toward alternative platforms.Similarly, BJP’s narratives on Waqf politics and identity issues energized its core supporters, while forcing TMC into reactionary politics.

Female Voter: Mamta’s shield has weakened!

One of TMC’s strongest social coalitions has long been women, especially through schemes like Lakshmir Bhandar.But the BJP’s Annapurna Bhandar promise of Rs 3,000 monthly support directly challenges that advantage.Combined with:

  • Concern about women’s safety after incidents like RG Kar
  • anti corruption message
  • wellness competition

The BJP significantly reduced TMC’s lead among women voters, including in minority-dominated areas.For many poor women, especially Gen Z and young families, practical economics began to compete with traditional loyalties.

Governance fatigue and corruption

TMC also had to bear the burden of more than a decade in power.Major issues included:

  • recruitment scams
  • corruption allegations
  • local syndicate politics
  • governance fatigue
  • Notions of dynastic or centralized control

In many constituencies, this did not automatically make the BJP popular, but it made the TMC weak.That vulnerability when combined with vote fragmentation was substantial.

-

BJP’s organizational change

Unlike 2021, in 2026 the BJP was not running on national charisma alone.It took five years to build:

  • booth level infrastructure
  • strength of local cadre
  • Regional influence of Suvendu Adhikari
  • Organizational expansion of Sukant Majumdar
  • Strong local candidate network

Its victory in the 2024 Lok Sabha was a stepping stone, not a peak.This allowed the BJP to take full advantage of the fragmented opposition areas.

More shocking waves: How did Mamata lose in Bhabanipur and beyond?

Perhaps the most symbolic moment was Mamata Banerjee’s defeat in Bhawanipur, where Suvendu Adhikari reportedly defeated her by over 15,000 votes. This was much more than the loss of a seat. This again put the focus on BJP’s claim that TMC’s political invincibility has ended.West Bengal 2026 shatters one of the most enduring notions of Indian politics: that a large minority population, if politically united, can permanently stop the BJP.That assumption now appears to be conditional, not guaranteed.BJP’s Bengal success shows that:

  • The disintegration of the opposition may outweigh the demographic arithmetic.
  • There are limits to welfare politics
  • Identity politics can be countered by governance fatigue
  • Regional strongholds will be vulnerable if the core alliance breaks up

bottom line

This result is a blunt political warning for Mamata Banerjee.The Muslim vote remains important, but no longer appears automatically integrated enough to act as an electoral veto.The story of Bengal 2026 is not that Muslim-majority constituencies suddenly turned saffron.That is, the political unity that had once kept the BJP out became too weak for the BJP to enter. The minority vote did not disappear. This brought diversity.And in that diversification, the old electoral map of Bengal was redrawn. This election was not just the victory of BJP.It was the end of a political certainty and the beginning of a much more conflicted Bengal.

जिसे मान रहे थे अपना बेटा, वही निकला कातिल… बैंक जा रही इंस्पेक्टर की पत्नी को कार में बैठाया और सिर पर वार कर ले ली जान.

बरेली समाचार: उत्तर प्रदेश के बरेली से एक दिल दहला देने वाली घटना सामने आई है, जिसने रिश्तों पर सवाल खड़े कर दिए हैं। यहां एलआईयू से रिटायर एसआई गजराज सिंह की पत्नी शारदा यादव की बेरहमी से हत्या कर दी गई. परिजनों का आरोप है कि जिस युवक को वे अपना बेटा मानते थे, उसी ने यह अपराध किया है. घटना के बाद इलाके में सनसनी फैल गई है और परिवार सदमे में है. पुलिस ने आरोपी को हिरासत में लेकर पूछताछ की, जिसमें उसने जुर्म कबूल कर लिया. इस घटना ने लोगों को अंदर तक झकझोर कर रख दिया है.

महिला बैंक जाने की बात कहकर निकली थी
सुभाषनगर के मढ़ीनाथ इलाके में रहने वाली शारदा यादव शनिवार दोपहर घर से यह कहकर निकली थीं कि उन्हें अपने गहने बैंक के लॉकर में रखने हैं। लेकिन इसके बाद वह वापस नहीं लौटी. देर शाम तक जब कोई खबर नहीं मिली तो परिवार ने पुलिस से मदद मांगी, लेकिन शुरुआत में कोई ठोस कार्रवाई नहीं हुई। इसके बाद परिजनों ने खुद ही खोजबीन शुरू कर दी.

सीसीटीवी और कॉल डिटेल से खुला राज
जांच के दौरान सर्विलांस और आसपास लगे सीसीटीवी कैमरों से अहम सुराग मिले। पता चला कि वरुण पारासारी ने सुबह 11:54 बजे शारदा को फोन किया था. चार मिनट बाद, रात 11:58 बजे, शारदा को एक कार में बैठते देखा गया जो वरुण की भी थी। इसके बाद शक गहरा गया.

आरोपी ने कबूला जुर्म, शव बरामद
परिजनों की सूचना पर पुलिस ने सोमवार शाम वरुण को हिरासत में लिया। सख्ती से पूछताछ में उसने हत्या की बात कबूल कर ली। उनकी सूचना पर शारदा का शव पीलीभीत के जहानाबाद क्षेत्र से बरामद किया गया। शव मिलने के बाद परिवार में कोहराम मच गया। बताया जाता है कि वरुण नगर निगम में संविदा कर्मी है।

पहले विश्वास जीता, फिर रची साजिश
पुलिस जांच में पता चला कि हत्या अचानक नहीं बल्कि पूरी योजना के तहत की गई थी. वरुण सबसे पहले परिवार के करीब आए और उनका भरोसा जीता. फिर मौका देखकर वह शारदा को अपने साथ ले गया और वारदात को अंजाम दिया।

कार में खून और हथियार मिले
पुलिस ने आरोपियों की कार भी बरामद कर ली है, जिसमें खून के निशान मिले हैं. कार के अंदर एक भारी औजार (पैना) भी मिला, जिस पर खून लगा हुआ था। आशंका है कि इसी से सिर पर वार कर शारदा की हत्या की गई है। परिजनों का कहना है कि शारदा के पास करीब छह तोला सोने के आभूषण थे, जिससे लूट की आशंका है।

पोस्टमार्टम रिपोर्ट का इंतजार है
घटना की जानकारी मिलते ही एसपी सिटी मौके पर पहुंचे और जांच का जायजा लिया. पुलिस ने शव को पोस्टमार्टम के लिए भेज दिया है। प्रारंभिक तौर पर सिर में गंभीर चोट लगने से मौत मानी जा रही है, लेकिन असली वजह रिपोर्ट आने के बाद ही स्पष्ट होगी।

‘Protecting the British is our top priority’: Keir Starmer reacts to Hantavirus outbreak that kills three on Atlantic cruise

'अंग्रेजों की रक्षा करना हमारी सर्वोच्च प्राथमिकता है': अटलांटिक क्रूज पर हंतावायरस के प्रकोप से तीन लोगों की मौत पर कीर स्टारमर की प्रतिक्रियाStarmer said, “My thoughts are with those affected by the hantavirus outbreak on board the MV Hondius. We are working closely with international partners to support British nationals on board and we are making plans for their safe onward journey.”He said the risk to the wider public is “very low” and stressed that “protecting the British people is our number one priority.”The statement came after at least three people aboard the luxury expedition ship died and several others fell seriously ill, triggering an international health response involving Dutch, South African and other authorities.According to reports, the outbreak emerged on the MV Hondius during a voyage from Argentina to Cape Verde, with the World Health Organization confirming at least one positive hantavirus case and several suspected infections still under investigation.The first victim, a 70-year-old Dutch passenger, reportedly became seriously ill during the voyage and died after the ship reached water near the island of St. Helena.His 69-year-old wife later died in a Johannesburg hospital after being medically evacuated.A third death has also been linked to the outbreak, while a 69-year-old British traveler remains in intensive care in Johannesburg. Two crew members are also receiving immediate medical attention as monitoring continues on the ship.An American travel blogger on board the ship described growing fear and uncertainty among passengers. “At the moment it feels very real and deeply uncertain,” the blogger said, adding that passengers were struggling with isolation and delays in medical evacuation as the situation unfolded at sea.Hantavirus is a rare but potentially fatal rodent-borne disease, usually spread by contact with infected rodents or contaminated environments.It can cause serious respiratory complications, with initial symptoms being flu-like before progressing rapidly in severe cases.The MV Hondius, carrying about 150 passengers and crew, is currently docked off Cape Verde after authorities have not allowed it to dock due to public health concerns.

‘Making myself a laughing stock’: BJP criticizes Mamata Banerjee for refusing to resign after West Bengal election defeat. india news

'Making myself a laughing stock': BJP criticizes Mamata Banerjee for refusing to resign after West Bengal election defeat

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party has questioned Mamata Banerjee’s “will not resign” comment, saying she is free to approach the Supreme Court in case of any irregularity, as alleged by the outgoing West Bengal CM. After the saffron party’s victory in the Bengal elections, Banerjee accused the Election Commission of colluding with the BJP and refused to accept the decision.”She is only making herself a laughing stock,” he said, adding that she is free to approach the Supreme Court on the election results,” state BJP spokesperson Debjit Sarkar said.Questioning the legality of such remarks, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said it was an attack on “democracy and the Constitution”.He said, “It is worrying because in India’s democracy, there is a beauty in the fact that since independence such a situation has never arisen where two parties are at loggerheads with each other like this. Very respectfully, with dignity, when a Chief Minister or a Prime Minister loses, the losing party resigns, and the transfer of power in India in the last 75 years has always happened in a peaceful manner.”“But today, what Mamata Banerjee has said and done, I must say with regret, has hurt this tradition of India. This is not an attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party; this is an attack on democracy. This is an attack on the Constitution of India, the Constitution of Baba Saheb Ambedkar. However, Mamata Banerjee is saying that she is not defeated and will not resign. This reflects the spirit of authority and anarchy. This is a story of anarchy and authority.” Suvendu Adhikari, who defeated Mamata from Bhawanipur, also reacted to her statement, saying, “Everything is mentioned in the Constitution. I don’t need to say much.”Mamata Banerjee has refused to accept the verdict of Bengal elections, where TMC suffered a defeat at the hands of BJP, with the saffron party winning 207 seats. She said she would not resign because her party “did not lose the election”, but it was an attempt by the BJP and the Election Commission to “defeat us”.“I will not resign, I did not lose, I will not go to Raj Bhavan…the question does not arise. No. Now, I also want to say that we did not lose the elections. This is their attempt to defeat us. Officially, through the Election Commission, they may defeat us, but morally we won the elections.” Mamata Banerjee said while addressing a press conference in Kolkata.

CSK, on ​​the other hand, brought in Akeal Hosein and Gurjapneet Singh to make changes to their combination due to injury to Ramakrishna Ghosh.“We will bat first. I think the surface looks good, and we think it is a very good pitch. Maybe it might be a little slower in the second innings, so I would like to give our bowlers the advantage. The way the tournament is going, it is a very important match. But at the same time, it is more important to focus on how you are playing. You can’t think too much about points – if you do, you put extra pressure on yourself. That’s what we are discussing as a team, we just want to play good cricket and the points will decide themselves. We have lost some close matches, but if you look at the season overall, I am happy with the wins and performances. This happens sometimes, but if we talk about cricket, I am very happy with the boys’ batting and bowling. If we had performed better in fielding, we would have been in a stronger position. One change – Lungi Ngidi in place of Kyle Jamieson,” Axar Patel said at the toss.CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said, “We wanted to bowl first, but the pitch looks a bit dry, so I don’t think there will be much change in it. So batting or bowling first won’t make much difference. There have been some positive signs (on the team’s atmosphere) in the last 2-3 matches.” Even though we haven’t won every game, there are some good positives. We have improved a lot in all departments since the first three matches of the tournament. Our bowling is performing really well and the batting is slowly getting better. We just want to maintain that momentum till the last stage of the tournament. We are really happy to be in this game, especially after the last match. But this is a new game, so we want to start fresh and start well. It is also great to see the youth getting opportunities and moving forward. This is a good sign for the franchise – they are repaying the faith shown by the management. Still a long way to go.”Teams:Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Sanju Samson (w), Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Urvil Patel, Karthik Sharma, Dewald Brewis, Jamie Overton, Akeal Hossein, Noor Ahmed, Anshul Kamboj, Mukesh Choudhary, Gurjapaneet Singh.Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): KL Rahul (wk), Pathum Nissanka, Karun Nair, Tristan Stubbs, Nitish Rana, Axar Patel (c), Ashutosh Sharma, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Lungi Ngidi, T Natarajan.
