Upon learning about the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP)’s calls to restrict entry of non-Hindus in Garba pandals in Gujarat, my immediate reaction was one of bewilderment.
Affidavit says organising garba at village chowk was 'preplanned conspiracy'. Advocate representing Muslim accused says court accepted affidavit & asked Gujarat DGP to submit report.
Sarpanch Indravadan Patel, who organised the garba event that was allegedly disrupted by stone throwing, says his political views are among reasons village's Muslims are accusing him.
On 4 October, 10 men were caned for stone pelting that allegedly happened a day before. Muslim villagers claim trouble started when the sarpanch decided to organise ‘garba’.
VHP and Bajrang Dal have been passing diktats against Muslims' entry at Garba venues. But things didn't change much on the ground—until police and politics got involved this year.
10 men were held against an electrical pillar and caned in the incident Tuesday. Villagers allege that the men indulged in violence and disrupted a garba event the previous night.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
The Chinese are said to have hired ex-fighter pilots & air force operators from NATO countries over the past several years to help them fine-tune their operational & flying capabilities.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
