elections too, the SFJ has exhorted the electorate to vote for Aam Aadmi Party,” Channi said. Such an act of keeping in touch with a separatist organisation and taking its help for the election is a very serious issue for the country’s unity, Amit Shah wrote in his reply to Channi.

Narendra Modi Seeks To Retain Power Through His Strategy Of ‘Divide And Rule’ Two phases of polling for the seven phase assembly elections to the five states have beenover by now and the third phase is due on February 20. By then in three states Goa,Uttarakhand and Punjab, the polling will be completed. Only two states Uttar Pradesh andManipur will be left. Already, the top leaders of the two national parties BJP and theCongress have covered the poll bound states and with the covid curbs easing, offline ralliesare witnessing the presence of both the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Congress MPRahul Gandhi in their respective party rallies. Narendra Modi is the principal speaker in the BJP rallies both online till a few days back andnow offline. He is the natural leader of the BJP and the undisputed crowd puller of his party..He is attracting huge crowds in his recent rallies arousing big hopes in the BJP ranks aboutpositive prospects on the polling day. But an in depth analysis of the speeches of the PMindicates that Modi is not just talking of the assembly elections, he is making points forpreparing the voters in these five states for the Lok Sabha elections due two years fromnow, in April/May 2024.Narendra Modi’s main attack is against the Congress, mainly Rahul Gandhi. Modideliberately is trying to make the next Lok Sabha elections as a sort of referendum againstRahul Gandhi. This positioning suits him from his own calculations which have been workedout by the party’s think tank after lot of research and analysis. Modi is targeting the Congressand Rahul in the state assembly elections speeches but these have implications more for2024 polls.Whatever may be the general perception about the decline in the Congress strength, theground reality is that the Congress is the most broadbased national party which ischallenging the BJP in the electoral field. In the current round of elections, Congress is themain challenger to the BJP in four states Goa, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Manipur. Only inUttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party is the main challenger to the BJP. Then later this year, inthe assembly elections in two states, Himachal and Gujarat, Congress is the main party.Then in 2023, Congress will be the main national party challenging the BJP in most of thestates which will go to the polls.In 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the Congress got only 52 seats as against 303 seats of BJP, but in209 seats, the Congress got the second position. In these seats, in many of the seats, theCongress can win provided there is an understanding between the Congress and the non-BJP parties. Even a partial understanding will help in enhancing the Congress seats. PrimeMinistertrategy is to debunk Rahul Gandhi as a leader and Modi is continuously talking ofdynasty. Congress is already divided and despite all efforts at reconciliation, the gapremains. PM strategy is to make moves to widen that space and weaken Congressorganisationally. BJP think tank will take moves to get in touch with the disgruntledelements in the Congress who have In the pursuit of the strategy of divide and rule, PM is making efforts to create a divisionbetween the Congress and the regional parties. Already fissures are there. There arecompulsions in state politics. But still efforts are on to unite the non-BJP opposition partiesincluding the Congress, PM strategy is aimed at ensuring a second front of anti-BJP partiesand to ensure that the rift between the regional parties and the Congress remains.The proposed meeting in Mumbai between the Telangana Chief Minister K ChandrasekharRao with the Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday assumes special importance inthis context. KCR of late has taken a position against the BJP and he has talked of leading afront of the non-BJP parties against the BJP. He is talking of removing Narendra Modi frompower in the next Lok Sabha elections. He is feeling threatened by BJPcommunal card inTelangana. He feels that the communal environment can be transported to his state by theBJP from Karnataka on hijab issue. KCR’s worries are genuine and his meeting with the Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav may formthe base of an understanding which can be shared by both the West Bengal Chief MinisterMamata Banerjee and the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin. Already there is a talk ofthe CM conference in Delhi on the issue of the centre-state relations and this conferencecan be extended to include Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik and also the Congress CMs.Here comes the ego clash between Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata and RahulGandhi for - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara which both have to share.

Agency News: New Delhi Pakistan, these days, is coming to terms with life’s bleak truths. Everything is transient, nothing is permanent and this applies to the cricketing career of Shahid Afridi too. Early this week, in the middle of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Afridi put out a farewell post and a video. “Good bye to PSL, my body is in serious pain”. His exit has been slow, his retirements and U-turns many. Tests, ODIs, T20 and now franchise cricket, he has periodically lightened his load and dragged his feet while
leaving the turf. He did overstay but no one complained. Afridi was entertaining company. He had the popular vote, he had earned the authority to write his own script and also pull the curtain. Afridi didn’t get the perfect last game. He didn’t get a chance to hit his downon-knees signature six. Pushed down the order, he wasn’t needed to bat. He did manage a couple of game-changing dismissals with those fastish leg-breaks but Afridi was never about wickets. Other’s wickets that is; his own could get hysterically entertaining. He even called for a runner once.

According to “People for Ethical Treatment -PeTA , illegal killing of dogs are going for meat in Northeast - India – but the video footage captured at markets in Northeast India reveals a bustling dog-meat trade. Puppies bark inside cages, while adult dogs with their mouths tied shut are confined to sacks. After the dogs have been sold and killed, vendors remove their internal organs and char their bodies with a blowtorch. A new PeTA India investigation into markets in Seppa and Itanagar in Arunachal Pradesh, Nute Bazaar and Senapati Bazaar in Manipur, and Kohima Market, Dimapur Super Market, and New Market in Nagaland revealed rampant violations of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 (WPA); The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960; and the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
These markets are a major threat to these states, the country, and the world at large in our fight against zoonotic diseases. During the corona pandemic, the outbreak and spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID- 19) has disrupted human activities for a full year, and efforts to recover continually existed. Two key reasons for such outbreak and spread of the pandemic are (a) illegal wildlife trading, and;(b) despicable conditions in which wildlife are kept for sale or slaughter. Both these factors contribute and speed up the process of zoonotic diseases spreading from wildlife to human beings and the coronavirus disease seems to be the perfect example. The northeast state's government announced the ban following a sustained campaign by animal welfare groups. They hailed the decision.
