Congress leader Shashi Tharoor lauded veteran BJP leader LK Advani on his birthday. Tharoor compared Advani’s legacy to that of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. This drew criticism online, with some accusing him of downplaying Advani’s controversial political history. Advani’s 1990 Ram Rath Yatra and the subsequent Babri Masjid demolition remain significant events in India’s past. LK Advani and Shashi Tharoor (File photo) NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader and MP Shashi Tharoor has once again appeared to display a soft corner for the ruling BJP, this time praising its veteran leader and former deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani. Tharoor not only lauded Advani’s decades of public service but also defended his political legacy, drawing a parallel between him and former Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. He said that just as Nehru should not be judged solely by the “China setback” and Indira Gandhi not only by the Emergency, the same fairness should be extended to one of the BJP’s founding members.”Reducing his long years of service to one episode, however significant, is also unfair. The totality of Nehruji’s career cannot be judged by the China setback, nor Indira Gandhi’s by the Emergency alone. I believe we should extend the same courtesy to Advaniji,” Tharoor wrote on X.His remarks came as he wished Advani on his 98th birthday on November 8, praising his “unwavering commitment to public service, modesty and decency,” and calling him “a true statesman.” “Wishing the venerable Shri LK Advani a very happy 98th birthday! His unwavering commitment to public service, his modesty & decency, and his role in shaping the trajectory of modern India are indelible. A true statesman whose life of service has been exemplary,” Tharoor wrote.However, Tharoor’s tribute sparked criticism online, with several users accusing him of “whitewashing” Advani’s political legacy. Supreme Court advocate Sanjay Hegde hit out at Tharoor, saying, “Sorry Mr Tharoor, unleashing the ‘dragon seeds of hatred’ (to quote Khushwant Singh) in this country is NOT public service,” in reference to Advani’s 1990 Ram Rath Yatra.Responding to the criticism, Tharoor reiterated his stance, arguing for a broader view of Advani’s career. Hegde, however, countered that the Rath Yatra “was not an episode” but “a long march to reverse the foundational principles of the Indian Republic,” adding, “It set the stage for 2002 and 2014 and thereafter. Like Draupadi’s dishonour set the stage for the Mahabharata that followed, the Rathyatra and its legacy of violence continue to haunt the destiny of this country.”Earlier the same day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Bharat Ratna Advani at his residence in New Delhi to convey birthday greetings. Describing him as “a statesman blessed with towering vision and intellect,” PM Modi wrote on X, “Advani Ji’s life has been dedicated to strengthening India’s progress. He has always embodied the spirit of selfless duty and steadfast principles. His contributions have left an indelible mark on India’s democratic and cultural landscape. May he be blessed with good health and a long life.”Advani’s Ram Rath Yatra, launched from Somnath in Gujarat on September 25, 1990, and halted in Bihar by then chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, was one of the most defining and divisive events in Indian politics. The campaign, which called for the construction of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya, led to Advani’s arrest on the orders of then Prime Minister VP Singh.Two years later, on December 6, 1992, the Babri Masjid was demolished, an event that reshaped the political and communal landscape of India. More than three decades later, on January 22, 2024, the Ram Mandir was inaugurated, with Prime Minister Modi performing the pran pratishtha ceremony, marking the culmination of the movement Advani had once led.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat defended the organization’s status as a body of individuals, questioning the need for registration with the British government and highlighting post-independence recognition. He also addressed the ‘Love Jihad’ concept, attributing its perceived success to a failure in imparting Hindu values to children, while cautioning against generalizing about the Muslim community. RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat NEW DELHI: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday addressed criticisms about the organisation’s registration status, stating that RSS is officially recognised as a body of individuals, after Congress questioned its operations.”RSS was established in 1925, so do you expect us to have registered with the British government?” Bhagwat responded during a RSS-organised question and answer session.He clarified that post-independence, the Government of India did not mandate registration, and RSS is officially categorised and recognised as a body of individuals. Bhagwat further noted that both the Income Tax department and courts have acknowledged RSS as a body of individuals, granting them tax exemption. “We were banned thrice. So government has recognised us. If we were not there, whom did they ban?” Bhagwat pointed out.He further stated that many entities remain unregistered, citing “Even Hindu Dharma is not registered” as an example.Addressing allegations about flag preferences, Bhagwat explained that while saffron holds special significance in RSS as a Guru, they maintain deep respect for the Indian tricolour. “We always respect, offer tribute and protect our tricolour,” he affirmed.These statements followed Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s recent call for RSS ban. Additionally, his son and Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge sought prohibition of RSS activities in government institutions and public spaces, questioning their registration details and funding sources.Support to political partiesBhagwat addressed various other topic included RSS’ political affiliation. On being asked why Sangha does not support any political party, he said, “We do not support any political party. We do not participate in vote politics, current politics, or election politics. Sangha is a work of uniting society and politics, but by nature, it is divisive. So we keep out of politics. We support policies, and especially now that we are a force, we will exert our force to support the right policy. Not individual, not a party, but policy. For example, we wanted to have Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. So our Swayamsevaks supported those who stood by its construction. BJP was there, but if Congress had supported that, our Swayamsevaks would have voted for that party also.”Further asserting his stance, he added, “We don’t have special affinity towards one party. There is no Sangh party. No party is ours, and all parties are ours because they are Bharatiya parties. We support Rashtraneeti, not Rajneeti. We do that publicly. We have our views, and we want to take this country in a particular direction. Those who will drive in that direction particularly, we will support them. We’ll ask the public to think about this and support them. Whatever the public does, it is their prerogative, but we will exert our strength in favour of the Rashtraneeti we feel proud of.”‘Love Jihad, how can that be?’ asks RSS chief BhagwatApart from the registration row, Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday also questioned “love Jihad”. “Love Jihad, how can that be? A girl or boy reared in our Hindu sanskaars as our own, blood of our blood, is led astray by someone outside due to petty attractions. That is our lack. Giving ‘sanskaars’ and ‘maryada’ to our children is our responsibility. We have faltered in it, and the result is the success of Love Jihad… When we see these activities, we bracket the entire Muslim society into one category. That is not good. We are Hindus. We do not think like that,” he said.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claims the BJP has stolen votes in Haryana and other states. He alleges a centralized plan involving PM Modi, Amit Shah, and the Election Commission. Gandhi presented data on fake voter entries and duplicate photos. The BJP dismissed the claims as baseless and an attempt to defame institutions. NEW DELHI: Congress leader and leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has widened his charge of “vote theft”, alleging that the Haryana assembly polls were not an isolated case. Addressing reporters in Panarpani, Madhya Pradesh on Sunday, he claimed that the BJP used the same method in earlier elections as well, including in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra.“After seeing the data that I also presented in a press conference about how vote theft took place in Haryana, I think the BJP has done the same thing in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. We have all the evidence and will release it one by one – what we have shown so far is only a little,” he said.PM Modi’s ‘65-Volt Jhatka’ Jibe Rocks Bihar Rally, Mocks Rahul’s Pond Dive As ‘Doobne Ki Practice’Rahul said there was an effort to institutionalise “vote chori”, adding, “There is an attack on democracy and the Constitution of B. R. Ambedkar. PM Modi, Amit Shah, and CEC Gyanesh Kumar are directly involved in it.” He claimed the Congress will release further evidence in phases and asked the youth to “resist this wholesale theft of democracy”.What Rahul Gandhi alleged earlier in his press conferenceOn 5 November, Rahul Gandhi held a press conference where he presented what he called “The H-files”, accusing the BJP of “stealing” the 2024 Haryana assembly election. He cited electoral roll data to claim that 25 lakh entries were fake and the Election Commission had “colluded” with the BJP to ensure its victory. He alleged a “centralised plan” and pointed to a ‘Brazilian model’ whose photograph was used 22 times in 10 booths under names such as “Seema, Sweety and Saraswati”.Also read: Brazilian ‘model’ reacts after Rahul Gandhi’s Haryana voter-fraud allegationThe congress leader said, “One in eight voters in Haryana are fake and despite that the Congress loses by 22,779 votes which was the difference in eight seats.” Claiming 1,24,177 fake pictures were used, he argued, “You can understand that there was no election in Haryana. There was a theft (of elections) in Haryana and it is very clear who is responsible for the theft.”According to him, “Sarkar Chori” had destroyed democracy and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) was the latest weapon. Rahul alleged that the Election Commission and the BJP ran “Operation Sarkar Chori” to convert a Congress victory into a loss. “Why is the Election Commission not removing duplicates? It is because if it does so, it would result in fair elections and it doesn’t want fair elections,” he said. He also accused the CEC of lying when he said “house number zero” was used for people without formal addresses.LIVE: #VoteChori Press Conference – The H Files | Rahul GandhiHe told reporters: “Every single opposition party understands this, they can see this…If the voter list is a lie, there is no democracy. My role as an opposition leader is to let you know the real world that you are living in.” Asked about approaching the courts, Rahul Gandhi responded, “The Supreme Court, the highest court in the country, is watching… it is not hidden.”How the BJP reactedThe BJP dismissed Rahul’s claims as “false and baseless”, accusing him of defaming India’s institutions to divert attention from political setbacks. Union minister Kiren Rijiju said he was “raising questions on the Election Commission to hide his failures and defame the country’s democracy.” He accused Gandhi of trying to “instigate the GenZ”, insisting such efforts would not succeed. “The young generation is firmly standing by Modiji,” he said.Rijiju also questioned why the Lok Sabha LoP had not filed complaints before the Election Commission or courts, arguing, “But they do not have to file any appeal before the EC or approach the court. He (Gandhi) will just call a press conference, give a presentation made by someone else and run away,” he said and asked, “Will democracy function in such a manner?”Defence minister Rajnath Singh too criticised Rahul Gandhi during a rally in Bihar, saying, “If Rahul Gandhi thinks that the votes of the people of Bihar are being stolen, why does he not file a written complaint with the Election Commission?” Singh accused Gandhi of misleading voters and claimed the Congress was resorting to “lies” for political success.What the EC saidElection Commission (EC) officials told news agency PTI that Rahul Gandhi’s allegations of voter manipulation were “unfounded.” They said no appeals were filed against the electoral rolls and no instances of multiple voting were reported. Responding to Gandhi’s claim that 25 lakh entries were “fake” and that the polls were “stolen,” officials questioned why Congress booth-level agents failed to raise objections during the revision process.

He alleged a “centralised plan” and pointed to a ‘Brazilian model’ whose photograph was used 22 times in 10 booths under names such as “Seema, Sweety and Saraswati”.Also read: Brazilian ‘model’ reacts after Rahul Gandhi’s Haryana voter-fraud allegationThe congress leader said, “One in eight voters in Haryana are fake and despite that the Congress loses by 22,779 votes which was the difference in eight seats.” Claiming 1,24,177 fake pictures were used, he argued, “You can understand that there was no election in Haryana. There was a theft (of elections) in Haryana and it is very clear who is responsible for the theft.”According to him, “Sarkar Chori” had destroyed democracy and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) was the latest weapon. Rahul alleged that the Election Commission and the BJP ran “Operation Sarkar Chori” to convert a Congress victory into a loss. “Why is the Election Commission not removing duplicates? It is because if it does so, it would result in fair elections and it doesn’t want fair elections,” he said. He also accused the CEC of lying when he said “house number zero” was used for people without formal addresses.LIVE: #VoteChori Press Conference – The H Files | Rahul GandhiHe told reporters: “Every single opposition party understands this, they can see this…If the voter list is a lie, there is no democracy. My role as an opposition leader is to let you know the real world that you are living in.” Asked about approaching the courts, Rahul Gandhi responded, “The Supreme Court, the highest court in the country, is watching… it is not hidden.”How the BJP reactedThe BJP dismissed Rahul’s claims as “false and baseless”, accusing him of defaming India’s institutions to divert attention from political setbacks. Union minister Kiren Rijiju said he was “raising questions on the Election Commission to hide his failures and defame the country’s democracy.” He accused Gandhi of trying to “instigate the GenZ”, insisting such efforts would not succeed. “The young generation is firmly standing by Modiji,” he said.Rijiju also questioned why the Lok Sabha LoP had not filed complaints before the Election Commission or courts, arguing, “But they do not have to file any appeal before the EC or approach the court. He (Gandhi) will just call a press conference, give a presentation made by someone else and run away,” he said and asked, “Will democracy function in such a manner?”Defence minister Rajnath Singh too criticised Rahul Gandhi during a rally in Bihar, saying, “If Rahul Gandhi thinks that the votes of the people of Bihar are being stolen, why does he not file a written complaint with the Election Commission?” Singh accused Gandhi of misleading voters and claimed the Congress was resorting to “lies” for political success.What the EC saidElection Commission (EC) officials told news agency PTI that Rahul Gandhi’s allegations of voter manipulation were “unfounded.” They said no appeals were filed against the electoral rolls and no instances of multiple voting were reported. Responding to Gandhi’s claim that 25 lakh entries were “fake” and that the polls were “stolen,” officials questioned why Congress booth-level agents failed to raise objections during the revision process.

. NEW DELHI: In an attempt to seal the finances of banned Popular Front of India (PFI), the ED on November 6 attached properties worth Rs 67 crore of various trusts associated with the outfit and its political front, the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI). The attached properties are mostly located across Kerala. The total value of properties attached in the case so far is Rs 129 crore. The top brass of PFI is being investigated by NIA and ED for its role in sponsoring terror activities, particularly after it was found operating a terror training camp in Kerala’s Narath, for which a special NIA court convicted 21 of its activists in 2016. “The history of origin of PFI can be traced back to the ban of Jamaat-e-Islami after demolition of Babri Masjid… At that time, properties of Jamaat-e-Islami were sealed under UA(P)A. Taking inspiration from these developments, PFI members who were part of National Development Front at that time, formed various trusts across Kerala and registered various properties owned and controlled by PFI under them,” ED said. ED has arrested 28 top members of PFI so far during its money laundering investigation.A money trail revealed the outfit was engaged in collection of huge funds in India and in Gulf countries. The overseas funding was channeled through hawala and deposited in cash in various bank accounts of the outfit and associated entities. “The proceeds were used to carry out terrorist activities in India to achieve the goal of forming an ‘Islamic Nation of India’, jeopardising our secular fabric and disrupting the unity and integrity of the nation,” the ED said, while releasing details of fresh attachments worth Rs 67 crore.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosPM Modi Highlights Legal Reforms, Stresses Need for Law in Local Languages‘Rallies Cancelled Due to Low Response’ Congress Responds to PM’s ‘Reject Katta Sarkar…’ RemarkMohsin Naqvi Cornered At ICC Meet In Dubai; Asia Cup Trophy Dispute Turns Into Diplomatic Face-Off‘Bulldozer Will Roll Over Corruption’: Yogi Adityanath’s Fierce Attack on RJD-Congress’Modi Runs Empire Of Fear, We’re Fighting Mahatma’s Battle’: Priyanka Gandhi Targets PM In BiharDeadlock Deepens: Afghanistan Calls Pakistan Irresponsible As Peace Talks Break Down Once AgainPM Modi’s ‘65-Volt Jhatka’ Jibe Rocks Bihar Rally, Mocks Rahul’s Pond Dive As ‘Doobne Ki Practice’From Canada To New Zealand, The World Sings Along As India’s National Song ‘Vande Mataram’ Turns 150CIA Whistleblower Confirms Pakistan’s F-16s Were Nuke-Capable, But US Hid The Truth From The WorldBangladesh: NCP Warns Of Political Violence Ahead Of First Polls Since Ex-PM Sheikh Hasina’s Ouster123PhotostoriesWeekly Horoscope: November 10th to 16th, 20255 unusual and weird creatures in the world9 avocado dishes from around the worldAditi Rao Hydari’s gold and floral bridal lehengas are taking over the internetThe only country in the world that begins with letter’Y’theShilpa Shetty’s 5 morning habits to boost weight loss and immunityGauranga Das reveals 3 crucial things every girl should think before marriageThe best nutrients to support sharp and healthy eyesightFrom Salman Khan to Amitabh Bachchan: India’s most loved television hostsFrom ‘Lakdi Ki Kaathi’ to ‘Chanda Hai Tu’: Bollywood songs that still keep the child in you alive123Hot PicksStock market holidayBank HolidayBihar Election 2025Gold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingMarshawn Kneeland Cause of DeathDonovan MitchellTravis KelceMicah ParsonsFortnite OG Butterfly Live EventWho is CatalinaNHL Injury UpdateBO Nix WifeNew Vande Bharat ExpressIndia World Cup Cash Prize
