With the example of his own life, he gave comfort to the society of the time and boosted their morale, while upholding their quality..." (Video: RSS)

#WATCH | Gwalior, MP: Gajra Raja Medical College Dean Dr. R.K.S. Dhakad has alleged that he was slapped by an unidentified man at the hospital's Trauma Centre. The incident took place shortly after MP CM Mohan Yadav visited the medical facility to meet the victims injured in the Sheetla Mata Temple accident. Dr. R.K.S. Dhakad says, "...Personally, I am not aware of any conflict I might have had with anyone; I do not even know the individual who carried out this attack. I have never seen him before. You, members of the media, were present there. The Chief Minister visited today to meet the injured and instructed us to ensure they receive comprehensive medical care; we are fully focused on that task. Shortly after the Chief Minister’s departure, members of the media arrived and asked what he had said. I explained that he had directed us to provide complete medical treatment free of charge and assured us that the government is taking full responsibility for the patients' well-being. I was in the midst of saying this when, suddenly, an individual appeared and launched a direct attack on me. As for who this person is, what his motives are, or how he knows me, I have no idea. Uncovering the truth behind this incident is a matter for the police. I have complete faith in the Government of Madhya Pradesh... if such incidents begin to occur within medical institutions, it will become extremely difficult for us to carry out our work..."

#WATCH | Leh, Ladakh | Former Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court Chief Justice Tashi Rabstan says, "I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to all the residents of Ladakh. This demand, that a circuit bench of the High Court be established in Ladakh, has existed for a very long time... Given Ladakh’s significant geographical distance, I have long held the view that a bench is essential here, regardless of the specific number of cases or litigants. Moreover, this aligns perfectly with the Government of India’s policy of bringing justice to the doorstep of the people. Today, we should all be very grateful to the Government of India for issuing the notification... Securing this was no easy task, but thanks to everyone’s hard work, we now have a High Court bench. This will bring great relief to the entire region of Ladakh and ensure access to justice; people will no longer need to travel to Srinagar or Jammu. This is a truly significant achievement." (18.10)

#WATCH | Ludhiana, Punjab: Ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit, BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu says, "We are standing in Ludhiana, where historic Dussehra is celebrated. For hundreds of years, this Dussehra has been celebrated here. All of us thank our leader and the Home Minister of the country, who is coming to Ludhiana to kill 'evil'. We welcome him and thank him. Father of Parvinder Singh Jhota (murdered anti-drug activist) said this again and again that if anyone can do justice, it is the CBI...So, the HM would land in Amritsar and head to their residence in Batala, Gurdaspur first. After that, he will visit the residence of Gulzar Singh (father of a substance-dependent youth)...'Chitta' has become a major issue in the law and order here. Deaths are occurring due to drugs; people are also being killed...When Ravan is killed, the demon-like 'Chitta' would also be killed..." (19.10.2026)

#WATCH | Leh, Ladakh | CJI Surya Kant says, "...The court is being established here starting today. However, many villages are located at a great distance from Leh town, and there is often a lack of transport connectivity... What can be done to address this problem? There are two primary avenues: technology and legal aid. Through technology, the court can be brought directly to the people... If an 'e-Seva Kendra' is set up there, residents could file cases, whether in the Kargil District Court or the High Court’s circuit bench, without needing to travel. In essence, technology can bridge the gap, bringing the court from Leh or Kargil right into the villages. Technology should be utilised effectively... Many people may not be aware of their fundamental rights. This is where legal aid becomes crucial. Legal aid is not merely about providing a lawyer; it is about raising awareness among people regarding their rights." (18.10)

After the Supreme Court judgment, the govt of India passed the bill in 2023 allowing the leader of the opposition to be part of the election of the Chief Election Commissioner... This is the best method what Indian Govt can do... it is your responsibility to support such a bill..."

#WATCH | Leh, Ladakh | CJI Surya Kant says, "...Today, a significant new chapter has been added to the historic journey with the establishment of a High Court bench in Ladakh, becoming a part of the narrative of justice. My heartiest congratulations to you all on this achievement... Situated at an altitude of 3,500 meters above sea level, this is a unique development... This High Court stands at the highest altitude in India...

We welcome all the leaders who want to stand up for the people of this country to come back to the Congress party..."
