Posted on by Vividh Bharathi

Guwahati, Oct 12 (IANS) BJP’s Nagaon MP-elect Debasish Sharma came to the rescue of a road accident victim on Monday after spotting the injured man lying unconscious in critical condition along the Nagaon-Morigaon road in Assam.

According to onlookers, Sharma was travelling along the road early in the morning when he noticed the victim lying by the roadside. He immediately stopped his vehicle, stepped out and carried the injured man in his arms before arranging for his transfer to a hospital.

Sharma reportedly used the same vehicle in which he was travelling to take the injured man to the hospital for medical treatment, ensuring that he received immediate assistance.

The identity of the victim and details about his current medical condition were not immediately available.

The incident comes days after Sharma registered a decisive victory in the Nagaon Lok Sabha bypoll, defeating All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief Badruddin Ajmal by a margin of 1,41,916 votes.

Sharma, the BJP candidate, secured 7,13,622 votes, while Ajmal received 5,70,413 votes. Congress candidate Sibamoni Bora finished third with 1,28,743 votes.

The bypoll witnessed a high-stakes contest, with the BJP and AIUDF locked in a closely watched political battle for the Nagaon seat.

Following the announcement of the results, celebrations broke out across Nagaon town and other parts of the district, as BJP workers and supporters gathered to celebrate the party’s victory.

Hundreds of party workers assembled outside the BJP office, waving saffron flags and raising slogans such as “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “BJP Zindabad”. The celebrations also featured the bursting of firecrackers, the application of coloured powder among supporters and traditional drumbeats, reflecting the festive mood among BJP cadres.

Sharma’s intervention to help the accident victim has drawn attention to his actions beyond the electoral contest, as the newly elected representative prepares to take over his responsibilities following the bypoll victory.

Further details regarding the circumstances of the accident and the victim’s condition are awaited.

‘Reflects India’s culture’: BJP, Shiv Sena on RSS chief’s call for social harmony

New Delhi, Jan 1 (IANS) A day after Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat appealed for social harmony across the country, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday welcomed his remarks, saying society must progress in a way that reflects India’s long-standing culture of inclusivity and unity.

Emphasising that the nation belongs to all its people, Bhagwat on Wednesday urged citizens to rise above divisions of caste, wealth and language, and to treat “everyone as one’s own”.

His comments came at a time when outrage had been growing over the killing of Angel Chakma, a student from Tripura, in Dehradun following alleged racial abuse.

Amid the public anger surrounding the incident, Bhagwat reiterated the need for social unity and equality, stating that the entire country belongs to everyone and that harmony is central to India’s identity.

Reacting to the RSS chief’s remarks, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak told IANS that Bhagwat had spoken in the right spirit.

“He has spoken correctly. He consistently emphasises social harmony, brings people together, and we are all moving forward in a manner that reflects India’s culture, including everyone along the way,” Pathak said.

BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal said Bhagwat’s message underscored the inclusive nature of Indian identity.

Speaking to IANS, he said, “Certainly, anyone who lives in India and says ‘Vande Mataram’ is Indian and, in the true sense, a Hindu. What respected Mohan Bhagwat said, that India should remain an eternal nation, a Hindu nation, and that anyone who lives in India and considers India as their mother is Indian, regardless of their religion, is absolutely correct.”

The Shiv Sena also expressed support for Bhagwat’s call, saying the country must continue to uphold inclusivity and unity.

Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC told IANS that India has always stood as a symbol of social harmony.

“It is correct that India is a symbol of social harmony and unity. Every citizen, leaving aside caste, creed, gender and language, shares a common goal. Caste exists only as a symbol for serving society and the nation,” she said.

Referring to Bhagwat’s remarks, Shaina NC added that he had stressed inclusiveness in everyday life.

“When Mohan Bhagwat gave this example, he also said that whether it is a temple, a water body or a cremation ground, everyone should be viewed with inclusivity and unity, especially because India is a Hindu nation,” she said.

Meanwhile, Bhagwat underlined that true harmony begins with the removal of discrimination and the assurance of equal access to public and religious spaces.

“The entire country belongs to everyone, and this spirit is true social harmony,” he said, insisting that facilities such as temples, water bodies and cremation grounds must be accessible to all Hindus without any exception.

MP CM announces offline mode for TET on Teachers’ Day

Bhopal, Sep 5 (IANS) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday announced that the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET), being conducted following the Supreme Court’s directions, will now be held in offline mode, a move aimed at providing relief to teachers facing the mandatory eligibility examination.

Yadav made the announcement while addressing the state-level Teacher Honour Ceremony organised at the RCVP Noronha Academy of Administration and Management in Bhopal on the occasion of Teachers’ Day.

“Our government is committed to taking all necessary decisions that can improve the situation for teachers. The Teacher Eligibility Test (TET), being conducted on the directions of the Supreme Court, will be held in offline mode,” Yadav said.

The TET issue has been a matter of concern among teachers following the Supreme Court’s directions regarding the eligibility requirement. The state government has been taking steps to implement the apex court’s order while addressing concerns raised by teachers.

Yadav said the government was working simultaneously on improving the quality of education in Madhya Pradesh. “We are making efforts to improve educational quality based on the recommendations of the School Education Department. Our government schools will be better than private schools,” he said.

The Chief Minister said teachers have a central role in shaping the future of the country and their contribution cannot be measured only through examination results. “The map of the country is drawn on paper, but the destiny of the country is shaped by our teachers in classrooms. Our teachers and gurus are the masters of these classrooms,” Yadav said.

He added that a teacher’s greatest satisfaction comes from seeing students progress in life and move ahead of their mentors. The announcement was made during a ceremony in which Yadav and Governor Mangubhai Patel honoured 33 outstanding teachers from across the state.

Yadav said the government respects the hard work of teachers and is committed to taking decisions aimed at improving their working conditions.

He also highlighted the contribution of government-school teachers, claiming that more than 50 per cent of students figuring in merit lists of board examinations are from government schools.

Governor Mangubhai Patel, addressing the gathering, said education was no longer confined to textbooks and needed to be upgraded in line with global requirements and employment opportunities.

He urged teachers to identify the talents of students and help them develop according to their interests.

MP BJP leader’s remark against Kamal Nath sparks controversy

Chhindwara, March 3 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) MP from Chhindwara, Vivek Bunty Sahu’s remark against senior Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath has sparked a political controversy.

Sahu (45), who has defeated former Chhindwara MP Nakul Nath, the son of Kamal Nath, in the Lok Sabha election held last year, has said, “People of Chhindwara and Madhya Pradesh have rejected Kamal Nath. Where will he go, if police starts beating him.”

The BJP MP has made this remark responding to Kamal Nath’s statement that “police walon ko kehta hu ki apni vardi ki izzat kijiye, sabse pehle.” (I tell the police officers to respect their uniform first.)

The former Chief Minister has said this while addressing a rally of party workers in Amarwada Assembly constituency on Saturday.

During his address, Kamal Nath has expressed his anger against a police station in-charge, accusing him of “working as a BJP’s agent”.

On Sunday, BJP MP Sahu during an interaction with media persons responded in the matter, saying that Kamal Nath was upset with police personnel because all illegal businesses of his political aides were stopped in Chhindwara.

“He (Kamal Nath) is worried more because all illegal businesses of his supporters have been stopped by police on the direction of BJP government. People of Chhindwara have already rejected him, where will he go, if police starts beating him,” Sahu said.

The BJP MP’s remark against Kamal Nath upset the Congress workers and his supporters in his home district Chhindwara.

Several senior Congress leaders, including state party chief Jitu Patwari has condemned Sahu’s remark and sought an apology.

Expressing anger against Sahu, Congress leaders and workers held a protest in Chhindwara on Monday.

More than 500 Congress workers, including party’s MLAs carried out a protest march from Rajeev Bhavan to the Superintendent of Police office in Chhindwara.

The Congress MLA from Saunsar Assembly constituency of Chhindwara district, who was leading the protest, said, “Vivek Banti Sahu has insulted our leader Kamal Nath, who devoted his life for developing Chhindwara. He has to apologise for his derogatory remarks against him, otherwise, Congress workers not tolerate it.”
