Justice for all Bharat nyay laws are the biggest reform in 160 years…!!!

As the sun finally broke through the clouds on a foggy winter morning in Delhi, we walked into the sprawling residence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, undeniably the country’s second-most powerful politician after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for an interaction.

Q/ How do you assess the 10 years of the Narendra Modi government?
A/ Before Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in 2014, there was despondency, especially among youth, about the country’s future. Corruption was rampant in every sphere. Internal and external security was lax. Women felt unsafe. India’s economy was lagging behind. Everyone felt the India story was over. Policy paralysis was visible.
Now, look back at ten years of the Modi government. We have become the fifth largest economy and the world expects India to become the third largest economy by 2030. The success of the G20 summit, with the unanimous Delhi declaration that came in the midst of diverging global opinions, is a big victory for PM Modi’s diplomacy.
Internal and external security has strengthened manifold. Forty new policies have been brought in, including the new education policy, which will take the country to greater heights in the next 25 years. PM Modi’s slogan of Viksit Bharat has been adopted by the citizens as their own; 23 crore people have come above the poverty line; 80 crore have got houses, electricity, drinking water, toilets, ration, health facilities and respect.
We are marching ahead, with digital revolution and cooperatives boosting rural economy. The collective self-confidence, which hit rock bottom before 2014, is at its peak today and the entire world looks at us with hope.

Q/ What are the main achievements of the Union home ministry?
A/ Under the guidance of Prime Minister Modi, a lot of work has been done in the home ministry in the last 10 years. We have adopted a zero-tolerance policy against narcotics and, in next 3-4 years, we will have full control over the menace. The three main terror hotspots—Kashmir, the northeast and left-wing extremism have seen 68 per cent decline in violence. More than 9,000 armed militants have surrendered in the northeast, left-wing extremism is breathing its last, and the backbone of terrorism is broken in Jammu and Kashmir.
J&K witnessed hundreds of stone pelting incidents in 2010, but not even one in 2023. The tourist footfalls are the highest in Kashmir. The Muharram procession was carried out after nearly 30 years in Srinagar. Cinema halls have opened and investments are coming.
Since 2019, several changes have taken place, like removal of the colonial laws, strengthening of anti-terror laws like UAPA, and repeal of Article 370. The passage of the three new criminal laws in Parliament in 2023 to create a new Indian criminal justice system sheds the vestiges of the colonial past and is the biggest reform in 160 years.

Q/ How will the new criminal laws ensure speedy delivery of justice?
A/ The objective of the three criminal laws is to achieve justice as envisaged in the Constitution. As PM Modi said, these laws are framed with the spirit of “Citizen first, dignity first and justice first”. It brings an end to the slave mentality brought by the British Raj, and the police will work with data instead of dand (punishment).
We have adopted a three-pronged approach to ensure speedy delivery of justice and timelines have been added in 35 sections of the new laws at various stages of police investigation, prosecution and judiciary. Timelines have been set for investigation, arrest, chargesheet, proceedings before magistrate, plea bargaining, appointment of assistant prosecutor, trial, bail, judgment, punishment and mercy petition.
Use of technology and forensics has been given thrust to ensure transparency, accountability and to improve the quality of evidence during police investigations. Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, a complaint received through electronic communication will be taken on record as FIR within three days. There will be audio/video recording of the evidence, which will be produced before the magistrate immediately. From FIR to case diary, chargesheet and judgment, the entire process is digitised. Forensic evidence collection on the crime scene has been made mandatory in offences attracting a jail term of seven years or more. This will ensure the prosecution has scientific evidence, which in turn will speed up the entire process.
I would also like to point out that in cases related to sexual assault, it has been made mandatory to submit the medical examination report within seven days. Similarly, in all criminal cases, within 45 days after the hearing is complete, judgment has to be delivered.
I am confident that once the new laws are completely implemented, any citizen who lodges an FIR will be able to get justice within three years. Delays in the criminal justice system will become a thing of the past.

THE BACKBONE OF TERRORISM IS BROKEN IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR. J&K WITNESSED HUNDREDS OF STONE PELTING INCIDENTS IN 2010, BUT NOT EVEN ONE IN 2023. THE TOURIST FOOTFALLS ARE THE HIGHEST IN KASHMIR.

भारतीय सभ्यता की समृद्ध संस्कृति को इस्लामी आक्रांताओं ने सदियों तक नष्ट किया। मुगलों के हाथों हुए अत्याचारों के सबसे पुराने उदाहरणों में से एक है ‘अढाई दिन का झोंपड़ा’ मस्जिद। जो कि राजस्थान के अजमेर शहर में स्थित है।

आज आप जिसे ‘अढाई दिन का झोंपड़ा‘ मानते हैं, वो मूल रूप से विशालकाय संस्कृत महाविद्यालय (सरस्वती कंठभरन महाविद्यालय) हुआ करता था, जहाँ संस्कृत में ही विषय पढ़ाए जाते थे। यह ज्ञान और बुद्धि की हिंदू देवी माता सरस्वती को समर्पित मंदिर था। इस भवन को महाराजा विग्रहराज चतुर्थ ने अधिकृत किया था। वह शाकंभरी चाहमना या चौहान वंश के राजा थे।
कई दस्तावेजों के अनुसार, मूल इमारत चौकोर आकार की थी। इसके हर कोने पर एक मीनार थी। भवन के पश्चिम दिशा में माता सरस्वती का मंदिर था। १९वी शताब्दी में, उस स्थान पर एक शिलालेख (स्टोन स्लैब) मिली थी जो ११५३ ई. पूर्व की थी। विशेषज्ञों का मानना है कि शिलालेख के आधार पर यह अनुमान लगाया जा सकता है कि मूल भवन का निर्माण ११५३ के आसपास हुआ था।
हालाँकि, कुछ स्थानीय जैन किंवदंतियों का कहना है कि इमारत सेठ वीरमदेव कला द्वारा ६६० ई में अधिकृत किया गया था। यह एक जैन तीर्थ के रूप में बनाया गया था और पंच कल्याणक माना जाता था। उल्लेखनीय है कि इस स्थल में उस समय की जैन और हिंदू दोनों स्थापत्य कला के तत्व मौजूद हैं।

एक मस्जिद के रूप में परिवर्तित करना
कहानी के अनुसार, ११९२ ई. में, मुहम्मद गोरी ने महाराजा पृथ्वीराज चौहान को हराकर अजमेर पर अधिकार कर लिया। उसने अपने गुलाम सेनापति कुतुब-उद-दीन-ऐबक को शहर में मंदिरों को नष्ट करने का आदेश दिया। ऐसा कहा जाता है कि उसने ऐबक को ६० घंटे के भीतर मंदिर स्थल पर मस्जिद के एक नमाज सेक्शन का निर्माण करने का आदेश दिया था ताकि वह नमाज अदा कर सके। चूँकि, इसका निर्माण ढाई दिन में हुआ था, इसीलिए इसे ‘अढाई दिन का झोंपड़ा’ नाम दिया गया। हालाँकि, कुछ विशेषज्ञों का मानना है कि यह सिर्फ एक किंवदंती है। मस्जिद के निर्माण को पूरा करने में कई साल लग गए। उनके अनुसार, इसका नाम ढाई दिन के मेले से पड़ा है, जो हर साल मस्जिद में लगता है।
मस्जिद के केंद्रीय मीनार में एक शिलालेख है जिसमें इसके पूरा होने की तारीख जुमादा II ५९५ ए एच के रूप में उल्लेखित है। अंग्रेजी कैलेंडर के अनुसार यह तारीख अप्रैल ११९९ ई है। बाद में, कुतुब-उद-दीन-ऐबक के उत्तराधिकारी इल्तुतमिश ने १२१३ ई में मस्जिद को सुशोभित किया। उन्होंने मस्जिद में एक स्क्रीन वॉल जोड़ा। उत्तरी मीनार पर उसके नाम का तो वहीं दक्षिणी मीनार पर कंस्ट्रक्शन सुपरवाइजर अहमद इब्न मुहम्मद अल-अरिद के नाम का एक शिलालेख है।
फिलहाल, यह बताना आसान नहीं है कि मस्जिद का कौन सा हिस्सा मूल रूप से सरस्वती मंदिर और संस्कृत स्कूल था क्योंकि मस्जिद के निर्माण में लगभग २५-३० हिंदू एवं जैन मंदिरों के खंडहरों का इस्तेमाल किया गया था।

मस्जिद पर सीता राम गोयल की रिपोर्ट :

प्रसिद्ध इतिहासकार सीता राम गोयल ने अपनी पुस्तक ‘हिंदू टेंपल: व्हाट हैपन्ड टू देम’ में मस्जिद का उल्लेख किया है। उन्होंने लेखक सैयद अहमद खान की पुस्तक ‘असर-उस-सनदीद’ का हवाला दिया, जिसमें उन्होंने उल्लेख किया था कि अजमेर की मस्जिद, यानी अढाई दिन का झोंपड़ा, हिंदू मंदिरों की सामग्री का उपयोग करके बनाया गया था।
मस्जिद पर अलेक्जेंडर कनिंघम की रिपोर्ट :

अलेक्जेंडर कनिंघम को १८७१ में एएसआई के महानिदेशक के रूप में नियुक्त किया गया था। उन्होंने ‘चार रिपोर्ट्स मेड ड्यूरिंग द इयर्स, १८६२-६५ में मस्जिद का विस्तृत विवरण प्रस्तुत किया है। कनिंघम ने उल्लेख किया कि स्थल का निरीक्षण करने पर, उन्होंने पाया कि यह कई हिंदू मंदिरों के खंडहरों से बनाया गया था। उन्होंने कहा, “इसका नाम ‘अढ़ाई दिन का झोंपड़ा’ इसके निर्माण की आश्चर्यजनक गति को दिखाता है और यह केवल हिंदू मंदिरों के तैयार मुफ्त सामग्री के इस्तेमाल से ही संभव था।”

कनिंघम ने आगे रिपोर्ट में मस्जिद का दौरा करने वाले ब्रिटिश साम्राज्य के लेफ्टिनेंट-कर्नल जेम्स टॉड का हवाला दिया। टॉड ने कहा था कि पूरी इमारत मूल रूप से एक जैन मंदिर हो सकती है। हालाँकि, उन्होंने उन पर चार-हाथ वाले कई स्तंभ भी पाए जो स्वभाविक रूप से जैन के नहीं हो सकते थे। उन मूर्तियों के अलावा, देवी काली की एक आकृति थी।

उन्होंने आगे कहा, “कुल मिलाकर, ३४४ स्तंभ थे, लेकिन इनमें से दो ही मूल स्तंभ थे। हिंदू स्तंभों की वास्तविक संख्या ७०० से कम नहीं हो सकती थी, जो २० से ३० मंदिरों के खंडहर के बराबर है।

एमएसपी के लिये एक कमेटी बनी थी उसके एक वरिष्ठ सदस्य श्री कृष्ण वीर चौधरी से अर्चना तिवारी ने बातचीत की एमएसपी और इस कहने को आंदोलन के बारे में…
सच जानने के लिए ये थ्रेड पूरा देखें 🙏🏾

चौधरी साहब कहते हैं आंदोलन हमने भी किए हैं, ये तो हिंसा और अराजकता है कोई आंदोलन नहीं। बड़ी बड़ी गाड़ियाँ और ऐसे ट्रेक्टर कोई गरीब शोषित किसान के पास होते हैं?? ये गरीब हैं तो फिर अमीर कौन हैं??🤔

सरकार ने किसानों के लिए इतनी योजनायें निकाली हैं, फिर हर किसान को ₹६००० दिये जाते हैं, कई चीज़ों पे सब्सिडी है और फिर एमएसपी है। अब जो ₹१०,००० पेंशन की माँग है तो सरकार की पहले बजट देखना पड़ेगा, ऐसे ही तो नहीं दे सकते…

The Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Ram Lalla idol at Ramjanmbhoomi in Ayodhya took place on January 22, 2024. On this significant occasion, Hindus worldwide pay tribute to both well-known and unknown devotees of Lord Ram who sacrificed their lives during the struggles spanning from the Babar era to the Mulayam Singh Yadav administration. Among these courageous individuals who fought during the Mughal rule, Devi Deen Pandey stands as a prominent name. He followed in the footsteps of Bhiti King Mahtab Singh as a warrior who laid down his life for the cause of Ram Janmbhoomi. The OpIndia team visited Devi Deen Pandey’s home to delve into the details of the sacrifices he made for Ram Janmabhoomi.
Originally hailing from Rahimpur Dugawa, a village in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya district, Devi Deen Pandey’s primary mission was to propagate his faith. He welcomed people into his home in Sarairasi, Rajepur, and Sanethu villages, where he conducted recitations of Bhagwat Katha and other sacred texts. Eventually, he settled near Sanethu, approximately 8 kilometres from his native place, now named ‘Pandit Ka Purva’ in his honour. A temple stands prominently outside the settlement, attracting worshippers who come to offer prayers on significant occasions in their homes.

Religiosity is everywhere even today in the house.

Upon our arrival at Devi Deen Pandey’s home, numerous family members were eagerly waiting for the OpIndia team at the entrance. The gate of the house is embellished with a Swastika, flanked by images of Lord Shiva and Lord Hanuman. Positioned at the entrance is a sizable temple, which, according to the family, has stood since the time of Devi Deen Pandey. The current generation undertook its renovation due to deterioration in the past, presenting it in a new form. Saffron flags are prominently displayed around the temple, and inside, there is a Ram Darbar (court) adorned with idols of various gods.
Devi Deen Pandey built the temple, and to this day, worship is conducted there by the prescribed rituals. The seventh generation of Devi Deen diligently carries on their age-old, traditional worship practices. The current hosts of this family are descendants whose forebears made sacrifices in defence of Ramjanmbhoomi alongside Devi Deen.

Saddened by the attack on Ram Mandir, he took up weapons
Rajendra Prasad Pandey, identifying himself as the seventh generation of Devi Deen Pandey, was present at his home. Reflecting on history, he mentioned that his ancestors were the first to disseminate scriptures to the nearby hamlets, yet they were also proficient in wielding weapons. When Pandit Devi Deen learned of the destruction of the Ram Mandir by Babur’s general Mir Baqi in the years 1526–1527, it deeply affected him. Discovering the story of King Mahtab Singh, who fought for the temple and sacrificed his life in the process, further fueled his resolve. Subsequently, Pandit Devi Deen abandoned the Vedas, embraced his weaponry, and journeyed to Ayodhya. His residence is approximately 15 kilometres from Ayodhya.

Modi Ji who is in Tamil Nadu on his 3-day visit to the state performed 'smaran' and offered prayers at Sri Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy Temple in Rameswaram.

The main deity worshipped in the temple is Sri Ramanathaswamy, which is a form of Lord Shiva. It is a widely held belief that the main lingam in this temple was installed and worshipped by Sri Rama and Mata Sita.

It is one among the Char Dhams - Badrinath, Dwarka, Puri and Rameshwaram. It is also one among the 12 Jyotirlingas.
PM Modi arrived at the Amrithananda School campus in Rameswaram Pakarumbu by helicopter at 2.10 pm. From there, he took a holy dip in Agniteertham at 3.10 pm.
PM Modi later took part in the Ramayan path and 'Bhajan Sandhya' in the temple.
Prime Minister Modi, who is currently observing an 11-day Anushthan till the 'Pran Pratishtha' of Shri Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on January 22, arrived in Tiruchirappalli on Saturday.

Once called “Dada” for his strongman approach, Sarma is now the more endearing “Mama”, a change that came about after he became the chief minister.
Sarma is leading the BJP in the northeast and in an election year there was no better start for him than facilitating Nadda’s visit to the Maa Kamakhya Temple. Later they huddled in the party office to strategise the great number game for the BJP. Sarma has promised to deliver 22 of 25 Lok Sabha seats from the northeast.
After Nadda left for the airport the next day, Sarma settled down for an interview with THE WEEK. In a candid conversation at the secretariat, he shared his experience of handling politicians who rebelled, defected and changed the number games. “When I was with the Congress, we were deputed to various states to manage resorts” where such rebels were safeguarded, said Sarma. In 2022, he brought Eknath Shinde and company from Maharashtra to Guwahati after they rebelled against Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena.
Sarma is emerging as a master strategist for the BJP after spending 22 years in Congress. He predicted another decade of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a new political spectrum in the country. “Prime Minister Modi will cross 325 seats (in the Lok Sabha polls),” he said.

Excerpts from the interview:

Q/ Assam has a long history of agitations. Do you think peace is settling in, finally?
A/ A lot of reforms are taking place and there has been a turnaround. This is the best time for Assam and we are getting a lot of support from the Central government. We lost nearly 700 security personnel and around 20,000 men and young boys in the conflict over the years, but we have not lost a single one in the last three years. We have withdrawn the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act from the state, except for three districts. But for ULFA (Independent) leader Paresh Baruah, with whom there are only about 100 to 150 boys in Myanmar, others have surrendered. So I would definitely say that there has been a turnaround in the last three to four years, but it is not because I am the Chief Minister.

Q/ Has the divide with Delhi been bridged?
A/ I have been a minister for the last 22 years, I have seen the transformation under the BJP government. Earlier, governments were slow and distant. Now, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has come to Assam 60 times. We have taken various small steps which have reassured people that now our battle is being fought from Delhi, like the decision to implement the NRC (National Register of Citizens). It was a big healing touch. Nobody thought delimitation would happen this way, but it was done and people think it is a healing touch. During the Congress regime, we used to request the home minister to visit the border, but now it is a part of the routine visits of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. If there is a [militant] attack, the home ministry gives a prompt reply. In the last three or four years, outside support for militants has been neutralised and security forces have started gaining upper hand.

Q/ You said the prime minister visited the northeast, but people are talking about him not visiting Manipur.
A/ I am the chief minister of Assam, so I cannot answer for Manipur. But as someone from the northeast, I don’t want anybody, even you, to come here when we are fighting. I don’t want (Congress leader) Rahul Gandhi to see us fighting and say, ‘Look, the people of the northeast are fighting’, and then go and advertise it. If it is a fight between China and India, then the prime minister should come. But when two brothers are fighting, we have to resolve it by ourselves. The Union home minister came and stayed for three days. The minister of state for home camped in Manipur for two months.
Q/ As the face of the BJP in the northeast, how do you see the party’s performance in the upcoming general elections?
A/ In the northeast, there are 25 Lok Sabha seats, of which we are going to win 22. We will get 11 seats here in Assam (of 14). In Manipur, we are going to win both the seats. Although there is fighting between two communities, nobody has a problem with the prime minister and the BJP. Not a single Kuki minister or MLA resigned from the BJP, not a single MLA or minister from the Meiteis resigned from the BJP, and not any minister or MLA from the Nagas resigned from the BJP. So as a party, [we have not been brought] into their dispute. Their loyalty to the party and the prime minister is intact. So under the North East Democratic Alliance (the National Democratic Alliance’s coalition with regional parties in eight northeastern states), we will win 22 of 25 seats.
Q/ Which are the three seats that you are doubtful about?
A/ There are three seats in Assam predominantly inhabited by Muslims where we cannot think of contesting. Unfortunately, Assam is completely divided on religious lines when it comes to politics. There is social harmony and people live and work together, but when it comes to voting, we know that we have to secure our own political future. Muslims, up to 99 per cent, vote for the Congress. And Hindus, up to 99 per cent, vote for the BJP.
Q/ Do you think voting on religious lines is limited to Assam or is it becoming a nationwide trend?
A/ Assam’s history has nothing to do with the present political discourse of the nation. If I don’t sit here, somebody like Badruddin Ajmal (chief of the All India United Democratic Front) will sit here. Assam has been like this from 1979. It is a very polarised state as far as politics is concerned. The Congress represents Muslims here. But we are together for festivals, literary works, in office and sports. So it has nothing to do with the present political dispensation, atmosphere or environment.

Q/ In the Lok Sabha elections, how many seats will the BJP win?
A/ I believe that the BJP will get anything between 325 and 400 seats. I believe Prime Minister Modi will cross 325 seats; he will go closer to 400.
Q/ Who will be the challenger to Modi this time?
A/ I don’t see anybody in the next 10 years.
Q/ What will happen to Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra?
A/ I think this is their last election. I was in the Congress for 22 years. People have shown great loyalty towards the family. They will be made accountable for being out of power for 15 years. Congress workers have shown large-heartedness by not holding the family accountable…. People will put up with one loss, two losses…. But after this election, people will realise that the Gandhi surname has no political equity. They will realise that they won Telangana because of the equity of a local politician. If there is victory in Karnataka, it is not because of the Gandhi name.
Q/ What happens to Congress as a national party?
A/ After this election, at the national level, the Congress will disappear. There will be various regional Congress parties in various names. They say the NCP is a Congress party, but Ajit Pawar is aligning with the BJP. So you will see the emergence of a lot of regional parties with the name ‘Congress’. I see the Congress completely divided into regional parties like Kerala’s Congress, Karnataka Congress, Maharashtra Congress. Sometimes there may even be alliances with the BJP. And they might retain power in some states like this. So, there will be some scope for Congress politicians. But they will become autonomous, more liberated and will handle their own affairs.
Q/ So there won’t be any national party?
A/ I do not see [one] on the horizon. The BJP will face challenges from other parties in the states, but there will be no national party other than the BJP. There will be strong regional parties, including the Congress. So my prediction is that from next October-November, the disintegration of the Congress will start. Congress workers will abandon Rahul Gandhi. They will wait for parliamentary polls and immediately after that the Maharashtra and Jharkhand elections. Once those are over, you will see a completely new realignment.
Q/ Don’t you think that having just one national party somehow impacts democracy?
A/ That is for the citizens to decide. If democracy needs opposition, then people will create an opposition. You cannot expect Modi to create his opposition. Many people have even that demand from him. He cannot be responsible for building an opposition party. It is not the BJP’s responsibility to create an opposition party.
