'Impact Of Bharat Jodo Yatra': Congress On RSS Chief Meeting Muslim Cleric

Congress also asked the RSS chief to join Rahul Gandhi in uniting the country.

New Delhi:

Congress leader Gourav Vallabh on Thursday claimed that the meeting of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat with the All India Imam Organization president is the impact of the party's Bharat Jodo Yatra, and asked the RSS chief to join Rahul Gandhi in uniting the country.

The RSS chief, who has been meeting Muslim leaders in an unprecedented outreach, on Thursday visited a mosque and a madrasa in Delhi, and met the chief cleric of All India Imam Organisation, Dr Umer Ahmed Ilyasi, who called the RSS chief "the Father of the Nation".

Speaking to reporters, Mr Vallabh said that the results of the party's Bharat Jodo Yatra are evident from the fact that for the first time Mr Bhagwat visited a madrasa.

"Only 15 days have passed since the Bharat Jodo Yatra has begun and the results are out. A BJP spokesperson said '(Nathuram) Godse Murdabad' on television. Mohan Bhagwat went to the house of a person of another religion. This is the impact of Bharat Jodo Yatra," said Mr Vallabh.

He further said that by the time the Bharat Jodo Yatra is over, the hatred and the divisions created by the ruling dispensation will disappear from the country.

"We would like to urge Mohan Bhagwat that if this 15-day yatra has had such an impact on you, you should participate in the Bharat Jodo Yatra for an hour and walk with Rahul Gandhi with a tricolour in hand," he added.

Congress leader Pawan Khera too tweeted, "It has only been 15 days since the Bharat Jodo Yatra has started and BJP spokesperson started saying "Godse Murdabad", ministers have become concerned over the hatred spread through the media and Bhagwat has reached out to imams. Let's see what happens next."

Yesterday, after visiting a mosque at Kasturba Gandhi Marg in Delhi, Mr Bhagwat went to the Azad Market Madrasa Tajweedul Quran in Old Delhi, interacted with the children there and also had a piece of advice for them.

Madrasa director Mahmudul Hasan told ANI: "He stayed inside the Madrasa for about an hour and met the teacher and the children."

North Korea Says It Tested New Strategic Cruise Missile

By
North Korea test-fired a new generation of strategic cruise missile on Wednesday. (Representational) Seoul: North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea on Wednesday, Seoul's military said, the latest in a series of tension-raising moves by the nuclear-armed state. Hours later, North Korea appeared to confirm the firing, saying it had carried out its first test of a new generation of strategic cruise missiles it is developing, the Pulhwasal-3-31. Pyongyang has accelerated weapons testing in the new year, including tests of what it called an "underwater nuclear weapon system" and a solid-fuelled hypersonic ballistic missile. "Our military detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea towards the Yellow Sea at around 7:00 am today," the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. Unlike their ballistic counterparts, the testing of cruise missiles is not banned under current UN sanctions against Pyongyang. Cruise...

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

By
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
