Caste census shouldn't create societal rift, turn political: RSS

IndiaTimes Thursday, 21 December 2023
RSS clarifies its stance on caste-based census, emphasizing that it should not create rift in society. The Sangh supports measures for the uplift of underprivileged sections and believes that the census should be used for comprehensive development. RSS does not oppose the idea of caste count itself, but does not want it to become a source of social discord. The statement came after sharp reactions from political parties, including Congress, who accused RSS of wanting to maintain supremacy of a certain caste. The decision on caste census will be made after consensus with all sections of society in Maharashtra.

LS Elections 2024: Amritpal Singh Wins From Khadoor Sahib, Lawyer Demands His Release [Video]

LS Elections 2024: Amritpal Singh Wins From Khadoor Sahib, Lawyer Demands His Release

In Dibrugarh, Assam, the lawyer representing Amritpal Singh, the imprisoned leader of 'Waris Punjab De' and elected Member of Parliament from Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha constituency, Rajdev Singh Khalsa, outlines their legal strategy, which primarily focuses on securing bail for Singh. Khalsa asserts that the government has no choice but to release Singh, emphasising his client's efforts in combating drug abuse in Punjab. He contends that Singh's arrest was deemed unlawful and unethical by the public, highlighting widespread support for his cause. Jailed Khalistani separatist Amritpal Singh won from Punjab’s Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha seat on Tuesday against Congress’ Kulbir Singh Zira by over 1.5 lakh votes, as per the Election Commission. Singh fought as an Independent candidate. Singh is ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief and is currently lodged in Dibrugarh jail in Assam under the National Security Act (NSA). Sarabjeet Singh Khalsa who is the elder son of Beant Singh, one of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s assassins is leading in Faridkot. In April 2023, there was a massive manhunt launched for Amritpal Singh that led to the arrest of 300 youngsters, many of whom had interacted with him and committed no crimes. #loksabharesult #AmritpalSingh #AmritpalSinghWins #KhadoorSahibSeat #CongressPressConference #RahulGandhi #Modi #Adani #StockMarket #CongressPressConference #Congress #CongressCelebrations #RahulGandhi #SP #UPResult #AkhileshYadav #loksabharesult2024 #electionresulttoday #2024elections #2024loksabhaelection2024 #2024electionresult #chunavresult #loksabhaelection2024 #loksabha2024 #bjp #congress #pmmodi #narendramodi #rahulgandhi #electionbreaking #electionnews #election2024
