Rajat Sharma, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of India TV.
Our champion cricketers have returned home with the Champions Trophy. Players received a great reception at Mumbai Airport. Champions are being applauded across the country, but surprisingly, a riot took place a few minutes after winning the trophy in Mhow in Madhya Pradesh. Many shops, vehicles were burnt, stoned. In Mhow, cricket fans took out a victory procession with the tricolor, had fireworks, shouted slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, ‘Vande Mataram’. But the atmosphere suddenly changed on Jama Masjid Road. There was a time of Taraweeh Namaz in the mosque. Some people left the mosque and asked the procession to return. The assault, stone pelting started. The stone pelting came with full preparation. He had stones and poles in his hands, a cloth tied on his mouth, rioters threw petrol bombs. Burned the bikes parked on the road, set shops and vehicles on fire. I do not think the violence in Mhow took place because the victory of Team India made someone chilly. The Champions Trophy was celebrated. The atmosphere of confrontation in Mhow was already created and there is no fault of any one side. Those who celebrated the victory were shouting slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’. The people present in the mosque felt bad about this. He considered it his disinterest. Angered, gathered the crowd and attacked Hindus. When a crowd erupted with emotions riots, it becomes uncontrollable. Then no one can stop him. That is why people were injured, shops were burnt, vehicles were burnt. Then the other side also tried to answer. The good thing is that the police acted wisely. Did not let the matter grow. The Hindus were prevented from confrontation and pacified the people on both sides.
I know the people of Mhow. Most of the people here want to live peacefully, but there are few people whose shop runs in riots. Such people need to be identified. There is a need to isolate. Now Team India has returned to India, so everyone should welcome the players together in Mhow. Everyone should celebrate the victory together. Till a few days ago, those who were targeting the players of Team India, after winning the Champions Trophy, they are also reading Kashed in praise. Congress spokesperson Shama Mohammed had described Captain Rohit Sharma as a fat and most un-impressive captain but after the victory he congratulated Team India, especially praised Rohit Sharma’s brilliant innings of 76 runs. Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi, President of All India Muslim Jamaat, had whipped Mohammed Shami for not fasting during the match in the Champions Trophy, said to dismiss Islam, but the same Maulana described Mohammad Shami as the name of Mohammed Shami, and said that Team India has done a brilliant performance, now the people who have returned to the house, now they have lost their daily. Take There are many people on social media who see Hindus and Muslims in Team India. In a player, a Brahmin is seen, and in some, Sikhs are seen. Baycott of such divisive people should be done. He should show the picture when Virat Kohli touched Mohammed Shami’s mother after winning. He should show the picture when Rishabh Pant danced with Shubman Gill’s father. He should also show the picture when Sunil Gavaskar danced and danced. Just as Shama Mohammad praised Rohit, as Maulana Barelvi turned in the case of Shami, if someone has maliciousness in his mind, then he should forget to celebrate victory. If someone needs an excuse to eradicate old enmity, then four days later there is a festival of Holi. This time on Holi, everyone should celebrate the victory of the Champions Trophy as a national festival.
Why is RJD afraid of Bageshwar Dham Baba?
Millions of devotees came in Bihar in the five -day story of Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, Bageshwar Dham. Monday was the last day of the story of Dhirendra Shastri in Gopalganj. In the last two days, a huge crowd gathered in the story, millions of people reached to listen to the story. Dhirendra Shastri himself had to appeal to the devotees by releasing the video not to come in the story, sit at home and listen to his story on TV because there are no such huge crowd arrangements. Despite the appeal of Dhirendra Shastri, millions of people reached his story on Monday. Seeing the enthusiasm of the people, Dhirendra Shastri said that he is sure that the day is not far when India will become a Hindu nation and Bihar will be the first state which will emerge as a Hindu state. Dhirendra Shastri promised that he would come to Bihar very soon. But RJD, CPM and Congress leaders opposed the story of Dhirendra Shastri. He is describing Baba as an agent of BJP. Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya said that no matter how much the BJP should put, no matter how many self -proclaimed Choladhari babas, but its plan to spoil the religious harmony in Bihar will not succeed. The noteworthy thing is that when this tweet of Rohini Acharya came, at that time his maternal uncle Subhash Yadav’s son Randhir Yadav and daughter Alka Yadav were taking the blessings of Baba Bageshwar.
Subhash Yadav’s son and daughter went quietly with the blessings of Baba, but Purnia MP Pappu Yadav called Dhirendra Shastri as Natwarlal, Fraud, Pakhandi. Pappu Yadav said that Baba has come to set up hatred shops before the election, if he had just gone, he would have sent such babas to jail. In today’s time, when leaders spend lakhs of rupees to gather crowds, millions of people are coming to hear the story of Baba with Bageshwar Dham, this is really surprising. Leaders request the crowd and these Baba are requesting the crowd to go back home, because the place is less. This is nothing short of a miracle. Now the question is, why people are opposing those Pandit Dhirendra Shastri? It is also not a rocket science to understand this. Muslim vote bank is a big place in RJD politics and Baba Bageshwar talks about Hindu nation. That is why opposing them suits RJD politics. Elections are coming in Bihar. No side can take these things lightly. That is why as elections get closer, these voices will become more sharp.
Why did Raj Thackeray find Ganga water dirty?
Mahakumbh and Ganga water are being politics in Maharashtra. Raj Thackeray, president of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, made fun of those who drunk Ganga water at Mahakumbh. On the occasion of the 19th Foundation Day of his party in Pune, Raj Thackeray said that Ganga water is not clean, not drinking. Raj Thackeray said that his party leader Bala Nandgaonkar had gone to Mahakumbh, brought Ganga water from there and asked him to drink, he refused. Raj Thackeray said that people should avoid superstition, it causes damage. State Minister Nitesh Rane described Raj Thackeray’s statement as an insult to the faith of Hindus. Nitesh Rane said that Raj Thackeray has courage, then show such a thing about another religion.
Let me tell you the new thing related to Ganga water. The Central Pollution Control Board report has come. This report has been sent to the National Green Tribunal. It states that Ganga water was eligible to bathe during Mahakumbh. Now it seems that Raj Thackeray got excited and said that the Ganges water was contaminated, but later he realized that the mistake was made because this matter is related to the reverence of the people. The water of mother Ganga is associated with the faith and belief of the people and when Priyanka Chaturvedi on behalf of Uddhav Thackeray said that she did not have any problem with the water and when Rohit Pawar said that he too had taken a dip in the Mahakumbh and he brought Ganga water, then Raj Thackeray understood that the stake was reverse and he was not able to insult his party. But by then it was late. The arrow had left the command. Raj Thackeray will suffer its loss. (Rajat Sharma)
