The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) continued to attack the BJP over the ongoing violence in Manipur and charged the party with “perpetuating strife among Kukis and Meitis”.
AAP MP Sanjay Singh questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence over the issue and charged the BJP with expanding its “factory of hatred” throughout the country.
Mr. Singh alleged that the BJP’s influence has resulted in divisions and conflicts across the nation. “They fuel disputes under the guise of Hindu-Muslim, Hindu-Sikh and Hindu-Christian clashes. When they run out of ideas to create religious tensions, they exploit caste differences and ignite hatred amongst Jats, Marathas and Adivasis, pitting communities against each other. They perpetuate strife among Kukis and Meiteis etc.,” he said.
“When the BJP plants the seeds of hatred, it affects all Indians and perpetuates the burden faced by the common citizens,” he said.
AAP demanded that Mr. Modi prioritise “pressing issues at the grassroots level” over foreign tours and take immediate action to address the violence in the northeastern State.
Meanwhile, AAP national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hit out against the Centre’s “mismanagement” of the Indian Railway in a series of tweets on Sunday. The Delhi BJP issued a tweet in response, stating, “The one who cannot run the DTC, how will he run Delhi?” It accused the CM of destroying Delhi’s public transport and not buying new buses.
The Opposition Congress demanded that the government open the Gandhi Vatika Museum, depicting Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy and freedom struggle, built at a cost of ₹85 crore in Jaipur’s Central Park last year, during the Congress-led regime in Rajasthan. The museum has not been opened to the public, reportedly because of the administration’s engagements with the State Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
Almaya Munnettam (Lay People to the Fore), group in the Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese of the Syro-Malabar Church opposed to the synod-recommended Mass, rejected a circular issued by Major Archbishop Raphael Thattil and apostolic administrator Bosco Puthur on June 9 to implement the unified Mass in the archdiocese from July 3.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
