“The Poor Sell Their Daughters To Pay Off Cops”: Bhopal MP’s Self-Goal Agency News: Bhopal Bhopal MP Pragya Singh Thakur, known for regularly courting controversy, has yet again put the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led government of Madhya Pradesh in the dock by claiming that poor people in three of the villages she has adopted are forced to sell their daughters to pay off cops.Speaking at an event organised by traders’ body Bhartiya Udyog Vyapar Mandal on Saturday, she said she has adopted three villages where people are forced to even sell their children to free those caught selling illicit liquor for a living.“The people in those villages are poor. They make and sell raw liquor. In such a situation, when the police catch
them, they sell their daughters, give money to the police and rescue their people,” she said. MPs adopt a village every year and boost developmental work to turn them into model villages.Reacting to the Bhopal MP’s remark, Congress spokesperson and member of State Women’s Commission Sangeeta Sharma said, “This is very sad and condemnable.

Prince Charles, who held this title for a long time acceded to the British throne after thedeath of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, last week. He has a robust Indian connection andhas been familiar with Indians for decades. After his accession, he became Head of theCommonwealth, a group of 56 independent countries representing 2.4 billion people,including India.India was a “jewel in the crown” of the British empire. To go back in history, the East IndiaCompany came to India in 1600 for trade, and by the 1800s, it had generated almost half ofEngland&;s commerce. Soon it became a British colony. So it is not surprising severalmembers of the British royal family visited India at various times. Charles came to India tentimes as heir to the British throne, while his parents also visited thrice during the Queen&long reign.Charles indeed developed a warm relationship with India and its ageold traditions like Yoga,Ayurveda, and diversity. He once stated, "having had the pleasure of visiting India so manytimes, I've always been struck by her extraordinary diversity and the deep creativity,ingenuity and resilience upon which she draws. This is a source of great inspiration to mepersonally."Charles has been a strong advocate for global environmental concerns and climate change.He understands the importance of India in achieving the world's climate action goals.Over the decades, Charles developed close relations with many cities in India. They includeMumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Puri, and Chandigarh, apart from Delhiand Agra. He was comfortable with the Jaipur and Patiala royal families, who hosted himduring his visits.There were some embarrassing moments when the 16-year-old Bollywood actress PadminiKolhapure gave him a peck on his cheek when he visited a Bollywood studio in 1980.The same year Charles had visited Haripur village in the Puri district, going through thebumpy roads in the heat and dust. He showed interest in coconut plucking, basket weaving,and paddy harvesting. Prince Charles and Princess Diana's first visit to the country revealed a strained marriage.The unhappy Diana sat alone outside the Taj Mahal on a bench in February 1992 whileCharles was in Hyderabad. They divorced soon after. The entire media landed in Agra for the great solitary photo of Diana. King Charles and his present Queen Camilla have a Bengaluru connection. DrIssac Mathaihas been the holistic physician of the Royal couple for the past 15 years. He practiceshealing the whole body, mind, spirit, and emotionsAnother memorable event was his interaction with Mumbai&dabbawallahs in 2003. He wascurious about how they ride bicycles, lift crates full of tiffins and provide them to many peopleon time. He invited them for his second marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005, wherethey presented a nine-yard Paithani saree for the bride and a kurta lehenga for the groom.Charles even celebrated his 71st birthday with school children at the iconic Taj Mahal hotelin Mumbai in November 2019.Jullianwallahbagh carnage in Punjab has come up often, even during one of the Queen&visits. Before his tenth visit, to mollify the Sikhs, Charles sent good wishes to them acrossBritain and the Commonwealth on the 550th Birth Anniversary of the religion's founder GuruNanak Dev Ji.Long-time patrons of the Asian Elephant Alliance, Prince Charles, and The Duchess ofCornwall witnessed an official preview of the colourful elephant parade at the residence ofthe British High commissioner in Delhi in 2017.India has been changing since Independence with no fascination for colonialism. Colonial-era street names, redundant laws, and even flag symbols are changed. For example, in the1960s, officials removed figures of British officials and royalty from public view.Recently Prime Minister Narendra Modi renamed the iconic Rajpath in Delhi to Kartavyapath, claiming that "a new history has been created." The renovated avenue now has astatue of Subhas Chandra Bose in place of King George V.Barely hours after the Queen's death, Indian social media made renewed calls to return thefamous Koh-i-Noor, the 106-carat diamond discovered in India, which - Kapilkumar M.
