intolerance and untruth is engulfing our

will – if it already hasn’t – damage our

are sacrificed at the altar of bogus

PRASHANT KISHOR
BACK WITH CONG;
A BIG CHALLENGE
AWAITS HIM
e is not the prodigal
son but Prashant
Kishor, the master
poll strategist, has
returned to the Con-
gress with which he has had a
love-hate relationship over the
past several years. After rift
with the Congress leadership,
Kishor told a Delhi-based news
magazine last year that he had
come close to joining the Grand
Old Party. Kishor, who wanted
to join the party as general sec-
retary, fell out with the Gandhis,
who turned down his demand.
He was back on the negotiation
table and is believed to have
been asked to join the party in-
stead of working as a consult-
ant. Hopefully, Kishor’s magic
wand will help revive the sink-
ing Congress after his wondrous
stint with Trinamool Congress.
The only trouble with the
Congress is that it has too many
factions working against one an-
other. While the Gandhis may
have found it difficult to handle
the party’s Group of 21 rebels,
Kishor may have a strategy to
deal with them. But the chal-
lenge is huge.
H
he world seems to
be moving closer
to its doom with
the possibility of
Moscow using nu-
clear weapons against
Ukraine. Moscow has given
this threat to the West a num-
ber of times after the start of
the invasion. The US and its
Europeanallieshave,however,
remained steadfastly behind
Ukraine. In the latest move,
MoscowhaswarnedWashing-
ton of “unpredictable conse-
quences” if it did not stop the

Moskva, allegedly after a
Ukrainian missile attack. The
US and other countries have
supplied sophisticated mis-
sileswhichareinflictingheavy
damage on the Russians and
pushing them back.
Now the CIA chief William
Burns has also warned that a
desperate Russian President
Vladimir Putin may use tacti-
cal nuclear weapons to break
the Ukrainian resistance.
“Given the potential despera-
tion of President Putin and
the Russian leadership, given
the setbacks that they have
facedsofar,militarily
,noneof
us can take lightly the threat
posed by a potential resort to
tactical nuclear weapons or
low-yield nuclear weapons,”
Burns was quoted as saying.
A low-yield nuclear weapon is
a little less than 10 kilotonnes
of TNT. To put things in per-
spective,the‘LittleBoy’which
destroyed Hiroshima was es-
timatedtohavebeen10-12kilo
tonnes of TNT.
The fear of nuclear weap-
ons is unlikely to deter the
Western allies from pressing
ahead with their weapons’
supplies. But will they stop
after the limited mass de-
struction, or take the war to
a new, dangerous level.

PM Narendra Modi sent his
good wishes and greetings to
the recently elected Prime
Minister of Pakistan- Mr.
Shehbaz Sharif. His past
does him little credit. In his
reply to Prime Minister
Modi Mr. S. Sharif brought
in Kashmir. Someone in his
office should have pointed
out to him that there was no
need to mention Kashmir on
this occasion. What the
Pakistan Prime Minister
should do is to put right the

Ukraine. Mr. Vladimir Pu-
tin attacked Ukraine over
fifty days ago. He, it seems,
convinced himself that
Ukraine would crumble in
less than a week. Was it com-
placency or the inefficiency
of the Russian Intelligence
agencies that misled him. He
underestimated the military
capabilities of the Ukraini-
ans, their nationalism, patri-
otism and indomitability
.
This Russian underestima-
tion also included President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, actor
turned Head of State. His
bravery is astonishing.
The other day one of the
President Putin’s closest ad-
visers warned NATO that if
Sweden and Finland joined
the U.S. led military alliance,
then Russia would deploy nu-
clear weapons and hyperson-
ic missiles in an enclave in
the . heart of Europe. Is the
braggadocio or should it be
taken seriously? Former
Prime Minister and Presi-
dent Dimitri Medvedev made
a similar pronouncement.
Finland gained independ-
ence from Russia in 1917. It
fought two wars against Rus-
sia during World War II and
lost both. Since then it has
been a neutral nation. Swe-
den has not fought a war in
two hundred years. Its for-
eign policy has concentrated
on supporting democracy
and nuclear disarmament.

The situation in Ukraine is
dire. In parts of southern and
eastern Ukraine hardly a
building has not been severe-
ly damaged. Ten million
Ukrainians have been dis-
placed. Four million refugees
fled to Poland, Romania,
Hungary and Slovakia. All of
them women and children.
India’s relations with the
Soviet Union and Russia have
been very close and cordial.
Since 1956 Russia/ Soviet Un-
ion has never let India down.
Even during this war Rus-
sia has begun to deliver S-400
Trium air defence systems to
us regardless of Washing-
ton’s efforts to “Wean away”
India from Russia.
It is no secret that India
placed orders for five S-400
missile systems from Russia
for Rupees 39,000 crore, about
four years ago. These mis-
siles can destroy fighter jets
and missiles at a range of
four hundred kilometres.
Prime Minister Narendra
Modi sent his good wishes
and greetings to the recently
elected Prime Minister of Pa-
kistan- Mr. Shehbaz Sharif.
His past does him little credit.
In his reply to Prime Min-
ister Modi Mr. S. Sharif

one in his office should have
pointed out to him that there
was no need to mention
Kashmir on this occasion.
What the Pakistan Prime
Minister should do is to put
right the economy, inflation,

up the Kashmir tree in vain.
However, he has a problem
inherited from his predeces-
sors i.e Kashmir must be
‘item number one’ on Paki-
stan’s foreign policy agenda.
Before Imran Khan ceased
to be Prime Minister, he
made very favourable refer-
ences to India. This did not
go down well in Pakistan. It
was most welcomed in India.
Unfortunately the other
dayhisloudmouthedForeign
Minister used foul and abu-
sive language about India. He
obviously did not learn good
manners at Cambridge.
In the past three weeks Im-
ran Khan Saheb’s image has
taken a beating international-
ly (including the Islamic
World). He is still popular in
certain parts of Pakistan. But
that popularity will be a casu-
alty to the law of diminishing
returns. Even more damaging
is the army abandoning him.

Sri Lanka. The Raja-

They may survive the pre-

Almost every Indian has

However, despite TMC’s

New Delhi (Agen-
cies): 13 Opposition
parties on Saturday is-
sued a joint appeal to
maintain peace and
harmony, and demand-
ed stringent punish-
ment for perpetrators
of communal violence.
Attacking the PM for
his silence, the appeal
said the signatories
were shocked because
PM Modi has failed to
speak against the
words and actions of
those who propagate
bigotry and those who,
by their words and ac-
tions, incite and pro-
voke our society.
This silence is an
eloquent testimony to
the fact that such pri-
vate armed mobs enjoy
the luxury of official
patronage, it said.
The signatories in-
clude most major oppo-
sition parties including
Congress, Trinamool,
Nationalist Congress
Party, CPI(M), DMK,
RJD and others. Curi-
ously
, the Shiv Sena and
Aam Aadmi Party are
not on the list.
We are extremely
anguished at the man-
ner in which issues re-
lated to food, dress,
faith, festivals and lan-
guage are being delib-
erately used by sec-
tions of the ruling es-
tablishment to polarise
our society, it said.
The appeal comes
amidst a rise in cases
of communal clashes
and heated altercations
regarding matters of
personal faith, cloth-
ing, food restrictions
and imposition of a
particular language.
We reiterate our
firm conviction that
our country will
prosper only if it re-
spects, accommodates
and celebrates its many
diversities in full meas-
ure, it said.

Bengaluru (Agen-
cies): Akhil Bharat Hin-
du Mahasabha, Karna-
taka on Saturday has
urged the ruling BJP
government to “imme-
diately arrest” former
minister KS Eshwarap-
pa in connection with
thesuicidecaseof acon-
tractor from Belagavi.
Rajesh Pavithran, the
state president said the
issue will not be settled
with the resignation of
Eshwarappa from the
cabinet, adding “it is a
non-bailable offence”.
“Eshwarappa can de-
stroy evidence using
his political power and
influence. Because of
his corruption, a Hin-
du worker has lost his
life. BJP has broken the
records of Congress
party in the last 60
years in terms of cor-
ruption,” he said.
“This is not the only
case, many leaders
from the BJP in Karna-
taka are receiving 40
per cent commission of
the work and looting
the treasury of the
state. An investigation
needs to be conducted
in this regard. The peo-
ple are worried that if
the majority of budget-
ary allocations are go-
ing to the pockets of
BJP leaders through 40
per cent commission,
what is the fate of de-
velopment,” he said.
He said the Hindu
Mahasabha is writing a
letter to the Governor
in this regard.
“Since an FIR is be-
ing lodged against Esh-
warappa and he is be-
ing made the prime
accused, he should be
arrested,” Pavithran
reiterated.
Santhosh K. Patil, a
contractor and BJP
leader from Belagavi

Bihar Pradesh Con-
gress President
Madan Mohan Jha was
suddenly summoned
by the high command
to Delhi on April 14
and asked to resign
from his post. The Con-
gress, which is facing
the pain of impending
defeat, is trying hard
to change its face in
many states in the af-
termath of the five as-
sembly polls that were
held recently. It is be-
lieved that in the com-
ing days, the command
of states like Bihar,
Jharkhand, Gujarat
and Maharashtra, can
also be handed over to
new and promising
leaders. In this connec-
tion, Jha reached 10
Janpath early in the
m o r n i n g
and told
M a d -
h a v a n
present there that he
had arrived to meet
madam and submit his
resignation. Mad-
havan talked to madam
and explained to Jha
that he should go to Ra-
hul’s house and submit
his resignation there.
Then Madan Mohan
Jha expressed his pain
and said that he had
been asking for time to
meet Rahul Gandhi for
the last several
months, but he wasn’t
given an appointment.
After this, Madhavan
spoke at Rahul’s office
and asked the state
president of Bihar to
go to Rahul Gandhi’s
house. Jha felt that
now he would be able
to meet Rahul and put
forward his point. But
instead he met Rahul’s
secretary Kaushal
Kishore Vidyarthi,
who himself also hails
from Supaul in Bihar.
While handing over
his resignation to
Kaushal Vidyarthi,
Jha expressed his
mind and said that
he just wants to
meet Rahul
once. After
this Rahul
Gandhi came inside
the room, and Jha told
him that he had met
Vidyarthi and has
handed over his resig-
nation too. On this Ra-
hul said ‘Okay’, nod-
ded his head in agree-
ment and walked out.
Now Jha had no other
way, but to get out of
the house, without be-
ing heard.
PREPARATIONS
STARTED IN
UP FOR 2024
This happened just
two days ago, when
UP Chief Minister Yogi
Adityanath was visit-
ing Delhi to meet the
PM. He was specially
instructed to bring
both his Deputy Chief
M i n i s t e r s
along with
him. He
was also
told that not only this
time, whenever he is
summoned to Delhi in
future, he should bring
both his deputies along
as per the rules. Yogi
has also been advised
that the Chief Minis-
ter should keep his
Deputy Chief Minis-
ters with him in all his
important departmen-
tal meetings and in-
clude them in his deci-
sions, because they are
not Deputy Chief Min-
isters just in name or
glory. After returning
from Delhi, Chief Min-
ister Yogi has put forth
a very strict code of
conduct for all his min-
isters. Sources reveal
that according to this
code of conduct, no
minister will stay in
expensive hotels, will
not wear flashy
clothes, if the minis-
ter goes out of Luc-
know, he will use the
Circuit House or
Guest House for his
stay. Further-
more, the
minister
w o u l d
never call any officer
for any lobbying for
family members or a
friend. Even in the gov-
ernment accommoda-
tion given to him, he
will be able to keep
with him only his wife
and only those chil-
dren that are depend-
ent on him. Earlier,
this arrangement was
included in the proto-
col of the President or
the Governor that they
could not keep their
married children with
them in the official
residence. Interesting-
ly, now the ministers
of UP are unable to
understand what are
they ministers for?
Since an ordinary
MLA experiences more
power than them.
‘FITNESS FREAK’
RAHUL
ACongress MP
from Punjab
had been asking for
an appointment with
Rahul Gandhi for a
long time to discuss
the future course
of Congress’ poli-
tics in Punjab. In Pun-
jab, the allegations of
ticket sales by the elec-
tion committee contin-
ued to deepen and in
the brainstorming
meeting of defeat, the
leaders had already
fought among them-
selves. There were
many doubts in Ra-
hul’s mind regarding
this meeting as well.
Well, he gave that Pun-
jab MP a meeting time,
that too in the morn-
ing. When the MP
reached Rahul’s house
at the appointed time,
he was made to wait.
The first 30 minutes
were spent in waiting,
but there was no call
from inside. Then an
hour passed,
and the MP
then ran
out of pa-
tience, he
told Ra-
hul’s sec-
retary that ‘he has to
return to Chandigarh
and he has a flight too,
so get him to meet
soon.’ After 30-40 min-
utes, Rahul called him
inside the room, where
he was taking a mas-
sage. Rahul was lying
on his stomach on the
massage bed, with a
towel around him. He
told the MP that while
doing ‘exercise’, he
has pulled his mucle
and thus needs to take
the massage. He asked
the MP to keep his
point without any hes-
itation, and ensured
him that he was listen-
ing. But trying to be
comfortable in that
uncomfortable envi-
ronment, the MP
quickly put his point
in front of Rahul and

NEW PARTY?
In the 2024 general
elections, the BJP
has started an exer-
cise of carrying out
its strategies to make
the main opposition
party of UP - SP - turn
to dust. The BJP has
first tried Akhile-
sh’s uncle Shivpal
Yadav so that Akh-
ilesh’s Yadav votes
can be split. After
this, prepara-
tions are
b e i n g
made to engage Azam
Khan, a prominent
Muslim face of SP. It
is said that Azam is
currently in the cus-
tody due to more than
three dozen cases
against him. Central
investigative agencies
have also interrogat-
ed him extensively on
several occasions.
Now, gradually Azam
is getting relief in his
cases. Sources reveal
that there has been a
secret pact between
him and BJP regard-
ing the fact that he
will form a new party
in UP keeping in mind
the Muslims. It is
said that by fielding
this new party, the
BJP will receive ma-
jor help from behind
the curtains. Azam
has a good influence
in the Rohilkhand
area of UP and if
Azam’s new party be-
comes active here,
then the traditional
Muslim vote bank of
SP may be dented.

Avinash Pande: Will Cong’s
‘action man’ return to Raj?
First India Bureau
Jaipur: There is a per-
tinent question doing
the rounds in the ‘rele-
vant circles’ of the Con-
gress party and even
senior leaders, especial-
ly from Rajasthan are
concerned over the is-
sue if there will be a
significant change in
Rajasthan Congress
again and if there is
any other name run-
ning for the state Con-
gress in-charge?
Renowned magazine,
The Week has made a
tall claim in this regard
and stressed that Con-
gress’s defeat in Punjab
has also affected Ra-
jasthan Congress ‘sub-
stantially’ and it is be-
lieved that former Ra-
jasthan Congress in-
charge Avinash Pande
may return to the desert
state again as party’s
in-charge.
Maken was brought
in place of Pande after
Pilot’s demand, post
his group’s rebellion
and now, according to
sources, Pande can be
brought again in place
of Maken. Interesting-
ly, the magazine has
claimed that there is
immense eagerness in
Gehlot camp after
news of Avinash Pan-
de’s return!

THE RISING POSSIBILITY DOING THE ROUNDS...

@ashokgehlot51
The article which Mrs.
Sonia Gandhi has written,
is in the right direction, the
entire country is worried
today. The situation which
has been created, is really
very dangerous and
worrisome. The people
of the entire country will
have to ponder on the
same and will also have to
comment on it. Congress
President Smt. Sonia
Gandhi in her article, has
told about the conditions
of India in today’s day
and age. I am sharing the
article and its summary
in Hindi with you. We
all Indians, will have to
understand the conspiracy
of BJP-RSS to create a
fight amongst ourselves
and will have to give
an apt reply to these
divisive forces.

ell us some-
thing about
yourself.
I am very sim-
ple woman, de-
signing is my
passionandmy
clothes are crafted with
so much love and atten-
tion. I’m working on
hemp. It is a type of tex-
tile that is made using
fibres from the stalks of
the Cannabis sativa
plant. This plant has
been recognized as a
source of extraordinar-
ily tensile and durable
textile fibres for millen-
nia, and has psychoac-
tive qualities as well.
For me changing the
mindest of people is and
has always been a tedi-
ous task. We need to pri-
oritise our planet by
mindful consumption.

z When did your love
affair with design be-
gin?
As a child, I’ve always
been fascinated by the
way my mother (Late
Rani Ratan Kanwar)
crafted things with the
high-tech machines
which we have in to-
day’s time. I believe that
craft of creating things
with imagination and
making the best use of
whatever is available at
the moment got passed
on to me. It is a nostalgic
feeling and has a lot of
emotions attached to it
that are hard to put into
words.

z What do you truly
enjoy working with?
All my creations ‘Jaipur
Dori’ is committed to in-
volving more sustaina-
bly ethical and responsi-
ble practices while re-
maining devoted to
bridgingthegapbetween

ternsbycreatingdesigns

opens our minds to the
importance of imple-
menting and supporting

cal Activist. Despite ad-
verse social and eco-
nomic conditions he
joined the school and
was awarded the “Hindi
Visharad” degree. He
got married at the age
of 13 to Kasturi Devi
who later became the
first lady member of
Zila Parishad. He joined
as a government teach-
er in 1941 and worked
tirelessly for the educa-
tion of deprived class
and social awakening in
the local region of Shek-
hawati. Many of his stu-
dents like Gopal Singh
Khandela, Surat Singh
and Laxman Singh Sun-
da succeeded in social
and political life. He re-
signed from the post of
the teacher on 29 Febru-
ary 1944 to join “Jaipur
rajamandal” and
worked under Ladu
Ram Joshi and Badri
Narayan Sodhani dur-
ing the freedom strug-
gle. He was an active
participant in the pro-
tests of Gram Molyashi
in Sikar where he was
injured when protesting
farmers were attacked
by an armed mob of 500
Jagirdars. This was a
landmark agitation that
played a crucial role in
restoring the legitimate
rights of farmers. In
1947, he joined Indian
Army and served in 1 st
HORSE till he became a
reservist in 1954. He not
only joined the back
army for two months
during Indo Chinese
war in 1962 but also do-
nated the sale proceeds
of the Gold ornaments
of his wife to the gov-
ernment. He has been
an inspiration for local
youth and to date, he is
still active in the uplift-
ment of poor, deprived
class, and girl educa-
tion. He has been active-
ly associated with many
educational institu-
tions in Sikar like Kisan
Boarding House,
Gramin Mahila Shik-
shan Sansthan and
Senior Secondary
School Katrathal. His
main associates have
been Sukhveer Singh
Batad, Trilok Singh,
Ratan Singh, Lax-
man Singh Sunda,
and Narayan Singh
and his contribution
to these institu-
tions has been
lauded by prom-
inent leaders like
Thakur Desh Raj Singh,
Ishwar Singh Bhamu,
Kumbha Ram Arya etc.
He has been a social ac-
tivist and popular po-
litical leader in the
Shekhawati region. He
has been a true believer
and follower of Arya
Samaj and has helped
the community fight
against various social
evils. He was a pioneer
in eradicating social
evils like Child-Mar-
riage, Dowry, Un-touch-
ability, Mrityu Bhoj and
Pardah Pratha. He has
participated in Arya Sa-
maj Global Conferences
in Mauritius 2008, Eu-
rope 2010, Russia 2011
Singapore 2014. A Book
on his life Shatabdi Pu-
rush Ranbanka Ranmal
Singh in the Hindi lan-
guage was launched at
his ‘Jan Abhinandan
Samaroh was attend-
ed by thousands of local
people and leaders like
Sumitra Singh, Sumed-
hanand, Lt Gen JP Neh-
ra, Ghanshyam Tiwari,
and Rajaram Meel. He
has always believed
that Armed Forces are
the Best way of life. He
has taken a personal
interest in encour-
aging students to
join Sainik
School Chit-
torgarh. He
has led al-
most 100 plus
students to
join Sainik
School and
they, later on,
became offic-
ers in Armed
Forces or civil.
In his own family, there
are 20 persons in Armed
Forces. His son Col Ved
Prakash and grandson
are Army Officers and
many grandchildren
are in good positions in
government. He has
been a great proponent
of the cooperative
movement and agricul-
tural excellence and has
taken the lead in this
area after his interac-
tion and hearing promi-
nent leaders like Nehru,
Patel and Charan Singh.
Since 1964 he has been
associated with cooper-
ative and farming insti-
tutions, was the founder
Chairman of Gram
Seva Sahkari Samiti in
Katrathal, Sikar
Kraya Vikrya Sahkari
Samiti, Krishi Upaj
Mandi Sikar, Bhoomi Vi-
kas Sahkari Bank Sikar
and Kendriya Sahkari
Bank Sikar. The modern
shaped Krishi Upaj
Mandi as seen today and
‘Best Cooperative Bank’
award winner Sikar
Kendriya Sahkari Bank
are results of his tireless
efforts. He took coopera-
tive institutions in Sikar
to new heights and his
work was acknowledged
when he was awarded
the prestigious Jawahar
Lal Nehru Sahakarita
Ratna Award for the
year 2011. Ranmal Singh
had been Sarpanch
Gram Panchayat
Katrathal for 21 years,
Pradhan Panchayat
Samiti Piprali for 12
years and later MLA Si-
kar in 1977. In his seven
decades of public life, he
has been Chairman of
many farmers, coopera-
tive and political organi-
sations including Bhar-
tiya Kisan Union. Even
today at the age of 99
years he still works for
an hour every day on his
farms. He is considered
to be a living Encyclo-
paedia of local demo-
graphic facts and the
history of Shekhawati.
It would be prudent that
this oral knowledge of
his should be recorded
for future generations.
Despite his two pensions
and farm proceeds lives
on Zero balance in Bank
Accounts and donates it
to needy and poor peo-
ple. Indeed a true leader
of the masses and a liv-
ing legend.

hi Jeevan ka Saar Hai’-
