Bharat Rashtra Samiti MLC K. Kavitha has made it clear that the fascist regime is running in the country and poets and artistes should raise voice against it.
She called upon the poets, artists and writers to think about the right way to counter the fascism in the country. The MLC visited the 35th National Book Fair at NTR Stadium on Sunday. After visiting the stalls, she participated in a discussion on the book “Vallanki Thalam” written by another MLC Gorati Venkanna. Venkanna answered Kavitha’s questions on Vallanki Talam and took suggestions on countering Fascist regime in the country. MLC was all praise for the wonderful narration on Nallamala forest, nature and Chenchu tribes. Stating that she has special connection with the Nallamala forests, MLC Kavitha said that the central government had tried to undertake mining the forest for uranium and diamonds. She recalled that during the Telangana agitation, they protested until the mining lease was cancelled. “After the formation of Telangana, centre came again for uranium mining but the government passed an assembly resolution against it”, she said. She highlighted that Telangana does not have a culture of being a spectator when the forest is being destroyed.
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.
