Modi fascinated with ‘Moghuls, Mutton, Muslim League and Mangalasutra’ as he has nothing to show on performance: Kharge

AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge criticizes PM Modi for fear-mongering and spreading lies, asks him to send central agencies to raid prominent businesspersons.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is fascinated with Moghuls, Mutton, Muslim League and Mangalasutra and tries to scare people with irrelevant issues, charged the All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Mallikarjun Kharge.
“Such a cheap political discourse was never seen in Indian politics and it doesn’t suit the stature of Indian Prime Minister,” he said addressing a press conference in Hyderabad on Friday. “After three phases of elections, PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are scared,” he said.
Can anyone sneak into another’s house and snatch someone’s Mangalasutra? There is a law in this country. If someone is capable of snatching someone’s property, it was only Modi, he alleged. He said PM Modi was scared of losing power and that is why he was creating an atmosphere of fear among people and dividing them.
Mr. Kharge questioned whether Prime Minister Modi was sleeping if he knew money was being sent in ‘Tempos’ to Congress by Industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, and advised him to send the CBI and IT teams to the residences of businessmen he was referring to. “Let the central agencies raid their houses if he had that information.”
The AICC president said Mr. Modi used to defend both businessmen when Congress levelled allegations on favouring them. “Why is he attacking them now and why is he spreading lies,” he asked terming Mr. Modi as ‘Jhooton ka Sardaar”.
Charging the Prime Minister with favouritism, he asked why was Gujarat getting preference. I feel every State of the country should be developed and all should get investments. But there is a feeling that Mr. Modi is calling the investors to Gujarat and scaring them to invest there.
He said Hyderabad did not get any investments and asked the BJP to explain how many projects did the party get for Telangana. Congress can proudly claim to have created projects like Nagarjuna Sagar due to Nehru’s efforts and all other projects. Can Mr. Modi claim any such huge project to Telangana?, he asked. “Hyderabad was once suggested by Dr. Ambedkar to be made as the second capital. However, such a city has also been ignored by Mr. Modi,” he said.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
