BJP national president Nitin Nabin (File photo) NEW DELHI: At the receiving end of mocking remarks from Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and AAP’s Arvind Kejriwal, BJP president Nitin Nabin Monday drew public endorsement from PM Narendra Modi, who said his simplicity is a matter of pride for every BJP worker.Modi cited social media posts from a person who studied with Nabin in school and then college in Delhi and shared incidents of the period to underline his modesty and lack of airs despite being the son of an MLA from Bihar, to praise him.”This simplicity is a matter of pride for every BJP worker,” he said.PM’s intervention came days after Reddy made what BJP slammed as belittling remarks for its president. “Recently, a guy came here, Nabin or whatever, I don’t really know his name. But he comes here and says the next govt is theirs,” Reddy said at an event in Hyderabad.On a tour to Telangana, Nabin had claimed BJP will form the next govt in the state, drawing the jibe from Reddy.Kejriwal had posted a snide remark, reacting to Nabin’s attack on him and a few other opposition leaders for keeping quiet when their party colleagues allegedly insult Hindu gods. “Who are you,” the ex-Delhi CM had posted.The mocking comments from the opposition members were in an apparent reference to BJP president’s relative lack of national recognition before he was picked for the top organisational office by his party brass.Nabin was a five-term MLA from Bihar and a minister in the state govt before being elected to the national office.His school and college mate cited several examples, including that Nabin travelled by DTC bus to save money and chose to live in Mandawali in West Vinod Nagar as the monthly allowance sent to him by his father was not enough to rent flat in a society.Nabin entered politics after BJP fielded him to contest the assembly bypoll caused by the death of his father in 2006.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Political parties and Sikh bodies in Punjab have strongly condemned the removal of Diljit Dosanjh’s film “Satluj” from ZEE5 NEW DELHI: Govt invoked security grounds to ask ZEE5 to pull down ‘Satluj’ after its makers released the movie ‘Punjab 95′ under the new name on the OTT platform as the film’s theatrical release remained in limbo for nearly three years due to censor’s objections to parts of its content.’Satluj’ features actor Diljit Dosanjh playing human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra who uncovered rights abuses allegedly by Punjab Police in its fight against terrorism before disappearing in 1995. Four police personnel were later convicted for his abduction and murder.The movie-makers did not come back to the censor board, and with content regulations for OTT more relaxed than big screen and TV, they released it with a new name on ZEE5, where it remained available for two days.Using its powers, govt asked the platform to remove it due to security reasons, sources said.The decade between mid-80s and mid-90s was a rather turbulent and volatile period in Punjab, as pro-Khalistan terror groups ran amok before being reined in and neutralised by police, who were accused of numerous excesses in their operations.The movie-makers’ decision to release the movie on OTT has again brought to fore the issue of regulation in the new mode of entertainment and information, an issue flagged by a parliamentary standing committee headed by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey in its report.The committee has made recommendations, including amendments in existing laws, to deal with the issue.’Encounter’ victims kin oppose film banThe ban on ‘Satluj’has reopened painful memories for families who lost loved ones, still listed as missing. Relatives of many such victims told TOI that it should not have been banned as it highlights a painful chapter of Punjab’s history that needs to be acknowledged rather than suppressed. “There can never be justice for what we lost,” was the common sentiment expressed by the families, who said “Satluj” should be screened so that younger generations may understand what many endured.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Kolkata: West Bengal chief minister Suvendu Adhikari pays tributes to Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mookerjee on his 125th birth anniversary, at BJP headquarters in Kolkata. NEW DELHI: With the maiden BJP govt in Bengal organising a grand event in Kolkata to commemorate Syama Prasad Mookerjee on his 125th birth anniversary, PM Narendra Modi lauded his efforts to ensure that the state became a part of India during Partition and said the seed of the idea he planted is now flourishing everywhere.In a virtual address, he said “conspiracies” were devised at that time to separate the region of Bengal from the country. “During this critical time, Mookerjee stood firm against these conspiracies. He mobilised public support, engaged in political struggles, and ensured that Bengal remained an integral part of the nation,” he said.Modi noted that Mookerjee had then stated – “Congress partitioned the country, and I partitioned Pakistan.” The M A Jinnah-led Muslim League had then lobbied to get entire Bengal in Pakistan.Modi also praised Mookerjee’s vision as industry minister in the first govt headed by Jawaharlal Nehru before he quit due to his increasing differences with the first PM. Exploring his economic foresight as industry minister, Modi catalogued the establishment of monumental entities like Chittaranjan Locomotive Works, Sindri Fertilizer Plant, Damodar Valley Corporation and IFCI. “He laid the foundation for such national institutions which became India’s economic strength for decades to come,” the PM said.Modi said many ideas lose their sheen with time but the ideological movement that Mookerjee started, when there was little space for a different worldview in the Congress-dominated politics, is continuing to expand at a fast pace.”When govt is formed by those having the resolve of nation first, then national heroes are recognised and efforts made to implement their vision,” he said, asserting that it is a matter of double happiness for Bengal as the event is being held in the state, the birthplace of Mookerjee.”Our govt is proud that we fulfilled his dream by removing Article 370 (in J&K),” he said, adding that Mookerjee wanted all regions and states being equal while holding their distinct identity and believed in the recognition of Indian languages. “He fiercely opposed the talk of two constitutions, two PMs, and two flags in the country,” the PM said. He also acknowledged Mookerjee’s ultimate sacrifice made in Kashmir for unification.Get the latest India news and live updates.
