  • Rajbhar defends Akhilesh’s statements over Jinnah

    Express News Service

    LUCKNOW: Giving a new flavour to the ongoing controversy stirred by SP chief Akhilesh Yadav’s statement over Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Suheldev Bharat Samaj Party (SBSP) chief OP Rajbhar on Wednesday added fuel to the fire.

    Had Jinnah been made the first Prime Minister of Independent India, the country would not have gone through the vagaries of partition, he said.

    Rajbhar made the assertion in a bid to defend Akhilesh Yadav’s statement. Yadav had equated Jinnah with Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel, and Jawahar Lal Nehru as freedom fighters of the same ilk, thus giving ammo to the BJP to target him.

    It may be recalled that SP and SBSP have stitched an alliance to oust the ruling BJP in the 2022 assembly polls.

    While making the statement over Jinnah in Varanasi on Wednesday, Rajbhar substantiated his claim by suggesting to go through the writings and statement of BJP stalwart LK Advani over Jinnah. “Read Advani Ji’s views, read Atal Ji’s views, read the views of country’s other well-wishers on the prospect of Jinnah being made the PM. Why did they praise him?”

    Rajbhar was apparently referring to purported statements of Advani over Jinnah in the past after visiting his mausoleum in Karachi in 2005. Advani had to face severe criticism within the party then.

    Akhilesh Yadav had made the remark on Jinnah while heaping lavishing praise on Patel on his 146th birth anniversary on October 31, raising many eyebrows. 

    Addressing a public meeting in Hardoi, the SP leader had said, “Sardar Patel understood the ground and he made decisions accordingly. Hence, he is also known as Iron Man.” 

    “Sardar Patel, Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and (Muhammad Ali) Jinnah studied in the same institute and became barristers. They helped (India) get freedom and never backed away from any struggle,” he had said. 

    Yadav had also referred to the ban imposed on the RSS by Patel, the then home minister, following the assassination of Gandhi in 1948, saying only he could do it.

    Reacting sharply to Rajbhar’s statement on Jinnah, BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said that since SBSP has tied up with the Samajwadi Party, Rajbhar parrots what Akhilesh Yadav teaches him. “Jinnah was considered a villain in the country. He is considered a villain and will always be a villain for us. If the SP and SBSP believe that they would earn a certain number of votes by praising Jinnah at the time of polls, they are hugely mistaken,” said Tripathi.

  • Jinnah remark: Adityanath attacks Akhilesh, calls him ‘cultureless’; SP chief hits back

    By PTI

    AURAIYA/LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday targeted Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over his Jinnah remark, saying that someone who is “cultureless” cannot be expected to know the difference between a national hero and a traitor.

    He was attacking Yadav for his remarks in which he appeared to have equated Pakistan’s founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

    Without naming the SP chief directly, Adityanath said a leader of a party had recently spoke of Sardar Patel and Jinnah in the same breath as leaders who fought for India’s independence.

    During a public meeting in Hardoi on October 31, Yadav had put together names of Mahatma Gandhi and other freedom fighters with Jinnah’s.

    “Sardar Patel, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Jinnah studied in the same institute and became barristers. They helped (India) get freedom and never backed away from any struggle,” he had said.

    During a programme launching online transfer of money in the accounts of parents of 1.80 crore students studying under Basic Shiksha Parishad at his official residence in Lucknow, Adityanath said, “Remember, if education is incomplete, culture is lacking, etiquette is lost, then you cannot expect that person to feel the difference between a national hero and a traitor.”

    “If such a situation arises today, then it may also be a reason for the lack of interest of the child’s parents in their education. And, so all this needed to be told in the morning assembly,” he said.

    “Often this disorientation starts only when the person does not know who is the friend of the country and who is the enemy of the country. When we start weighing the national hero and the anti-national in the same scale, then naturally it raises a question mark on the person’s ability,” the chief minister said.

    In Auraiya, earlier in the day, Adityanath warned people against political parties which equate Sardar Patel with Jinnah.

    Referring to his government’s achievements in the field of basic education, he said when his government was formed in 2017, the condition of basic education was very bad, but today it is better and a lot of improvement has taken place.

    “Today, the attitude about the Basic Education Council has changed.

    When the School Chalo campaign was launched in July 2017, there were 1 crore 30 lakh children in the council schools, but the number of children increased by 50 lakh in three years.

    Today, the Basic Education Council’s schools look different, their colours, different furnishings and the uniforms of the children studying are visible,” he said.

    The chief minister also called for promoting technology and said that transfer of money online into the accounts of parents will help avoid charges of corruption in the education department.

    At the foundation stone laying of a government medical college in Auraiya and inaugurating other projects, Adityanath said, “A leader of a party had a few days back in a speech attempted to equate Sardar Vallabhbai Patel, the man who symbolised the unity of India, with Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who divided the country.

    The entire state should reject such shameful and condemnable remarks.”

    “Sardar Patel, who symbolised India’s integrity, united over 563 kingdoms with India (at the time of Independence). We have to understand the mindset of the elements, who are trying to equate Sardar Patel with Jinnah. Sardar Patel united the country, while Jinnah divided the country, both cannot be contemporaries (‘samkaksh’). Sardar Patel was a ‘rashtranayak’ (national hero), but Jinnah was the one to break the unity of India. We have to remain alert of people who are trying to equate them,” he said.

    Speaking on the law and order front, Adityanath said that the image of the state is changing.

    “Earlier, professional criminals and mafia had made the lives of the poor, traders and women miserable. Earlier, there was a race to embrace the mafia elements, and derive political mileage. But, today everybody knows that bulldozers are running over the mafia, and it can also run over those who give refuge to the mafia,” he said.

    The Uttar Pradesh chief minister added that every person knows that there is zero tolerance towards criminals.

    Meanwhile, The Samajwadi Party chief on Saturday sought to defend his widely criticised statement equating Jinnah with Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Jawaharlal Nehru and saying they helped India get freedom even as an UP minister suggested a narco test for him for “glorifying” the Pakistani leader.

    As the row over the Samajwadi Party(SP) leader’s comments raged, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, without naming Yadav, described the remarks as “shameful and condemnable” and warned people against political parties which equate Sardar Patel with Jinnah.

    His ministerial colleague Anand Swaroop Shukla also said those heaping praises on Jinnah should go to Pakistan.

    Yadav on his part hit out at his detractors, asking them to read history books again.

    Asked by reporters in Lucknow about his response to the row over his remarks that had kicked up a controversy ahead of the Assembly elections in UP, the former chief minister shot back, “Why should I say the context? I would say read the books again.”

    Yadav’s counter-attack drew a sharp response from UP BJP chief Swatantra Dev Singh, who in a Hindi tweet said, “The love for Jinnah still remains intact. Akhilesh Yadav ji please tell which history books have to be read — the Indian or the Pakistani.”

    On October 31, Yadav had said, “Sardar Patel, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and (Muhammad Ali) Jinnah studied in the same institute and became barristers. They helped (India) get freedom and never backed away from any struggle.”

    Minister Shukla told reporters in Ballia that Jinnah is responsible for the division of the country.

    “Jinnah is a villain, who no Indian would like to see or listen to. Akhilesh Yadav must clarify as to under which pressure, greed, is he glorifying Jinnah?”

    “I want Akhilesh Yadav to himself come forward, and get his narco test done,” he said.

    A narco test involves the injection of a drug, sodium pentothal, which induces a hypnotic or sedated state in which the subject’s imagination is neutralised, and they are expected to divulge true information.

    Shukla further said that those raising ‘zindabad’ slogans in praise of Jinnah, having thoughts and feelings of Jinnah in their mind, have no place in India.

    “They themselves should go to Pakistan,” the BJP leader added.

    Speaking at a public event in Auraiya, Adityanath, without naming Yadav, said a leader of a party had a few days back in a speech attempted to equate Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the man who symbolised the unity of India, with Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who divided the country.

    The chief minister said the entire state should reject such “shameful and condemnable” remarks.

    “Sardar Patel, who symbolised India’s integrity, united over 563 kingdoms with India (at the time of Independence). We have to understand the mindset of the elements, who are trying to equate Sardar Patel with Jinnah. Sardar Patel united the country, while Jinnah divided the country, both cannot be contemporaries (‘samkaksh’).”

    “Sardar Patel was a ‘rashtranayak’ (national hero), but Jinnah was the one to break the unity of India. We have to be alert of people who are trying to equate them,” Adityanath said.

    The SP also demanded the sacking of Shukla for accusing Yadav of getting economic support from Pakistan’s spy agency ISI.

    Shukla on Tuesday had said that Chief Minister Adityanath has become a challenge for the Islamic world.

    “Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav is getting all support from them. Akhilesh is getting ‘sanrakshan aur sujhav’ (patronage and advice) from the ISI. It is possible that he might also be getting economic support from it.”

    On Friday, SP workers staged a protest at the District Collectorate building to demand the registration of a case against the minister.

    The opposition party has demanded that a case be registered against Shukla for making insulting remarks against the party chief, and spreading animosity in the society.

    SP’s Ballia district unit chief Raj Mangal Yadav, meanwhile, said there will be intense protests against the minister and that he will not be allowed to enter the district if the administration doesn’t take action against him.

    Jinnah was a converted Muslim. Their ancestors were Hindus. Leaving the Congress, he established the Muslim League in the longing for power. Jinnah and Nehru acknowledged the partition of the country in their longing for their country’s head.

    In the longing for power, Indira Gandhi split the Congress into the Indira Congress.

    Italian Orizon Sonia Gandhi made an excerpt from an annexation with the backing of power from the back door.

    Now this drama is being done by multiplexe Janubhidi Rahul Gandhi. In Jaipur, he is Jaipur, where six years ago Rahul Gandhi took over the post of vice-president while describing power as poison. But now as Rahul Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, through that Jaipur, Rahul Gandhi wants to grab power in the first assembly and then in the Lok Sabha, in the next Lok Sabha elections in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, through a grenade or a door from the front door.

    In this way, we can say that the descendants of Nehru-Gandhi Dynasty have been engaged in self-centered divisive divisive politics to gain power.

    Tibet’s spiritual teacher, Dalai Lama, said in Panaji Goa that Mahatma Gandhi wanted Mohammed Ali Jinnah to be in the top rank of the country, but Jawaharlal Nehru adopted ‘self-centered attitude’ to become the first Prime Minister.

    Dalai claimed that if Mahatma Gandhi’s wish to make Jinnah the first Prime Minister was implemented, then India is not divided.

    But it seems that before the commencement of Rahul Gandhi’s journey for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, it will be over.

    Rahul’s dreams have been set up by the fire party.

    Talking about the election of Deputy Speaker of the Rajya Sabha, Sanjay Singh said that Congress tries to politicize. In the election of President and Vice President we had voted the candidate declared by the Congress unqualified. But the Congress did not even have the formalities to thank for it. He said that this attitude of the Congress is harmful to the unity of the opposition. It is not good in the wider interest. In such a situation, you will not vote for Congress party.

    Ram Gopal Yadav of SP said that except for a few exceptions, there was no election at the post of deputy chairman. All parties unanimously choose sub-basics. Yadav, expressing dissatisfaction over this, said that it was a matter of the Congress to make any member of the UPA constituent party a candidate. But in the last moment, his own party member was declared a candidate.

    On the basis of the news published in the newspapers, it can be said that the Congress is contesting assembly elections showing the face of Soft Hindutva ie polymorphism Janayogari Brahmin in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

    On the one hand, the face of Janawardi Brahmin and Rahul Gandhi, wearing a Muslim cap in the heart of the heart, did not renounce the Hindu hat like this in the same way, adding the Pandit words to his name and saying that he is a devout Hindus, Muslims are from Sanskrit and education. From the Englishman. This slogan is the name of cheating Nehru-Gandhi dynasty …
