The Chief Justice, TS Sivagnanam, emphasized that Shahjahan “cannot be on the run” and criticized the state’s support for him.

The court took note of allegations made by women in the area, including issues of land grabbing, and expressed concern over one individual holding the entire population hostage with the ruling dispensation’s backing. Chief Justice Sivagnanam stated that “prima facie material” indicates Shahjahan’s detrimental impact on the public, highlighting his evasion after alleged crimes.

The Chief Justice, TS Sivagnanam, emphasized that Shahjahan “cannot be on the run” and criticized the state’s support for him.

Questioning the imposition of prohibitory orders while Shahjahan remains at large, the court criticized the state government for creating unnecessary tension and harassment among locals. The court emphasized the importance of letting people express their views and cautioned against stifling voices. The court also addressed the state government’s challenge to the order halting prohibitory measures, citing concerns about law and order. The state’s counsel mentioned reservations about political leaders’ visits potentially causing trouble in the area.

Shahjahan has been evading arrest for a month since an Enforcement Directorate team faced a mob attack during a corruption case raid at his home. Allegations of land grab, extortion, and sexual assault against Shahjahan and his aides have surfaced in recent weeks. Despite multiple cases and an attack on ED officials, Shahjahan remains at large, leading the court to express surprise at the failure to apprehend him.

The high court has granted permission for BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari and BJP MLA Shankar Ghosh to visit Sandeshkhali, upholding a previous order. However, the BJP leaders were reportedly stopped on their way to Sandeshkhali this morning. There are reports that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may visit the area, according to statements from Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Monday.

Critiquing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Adhikari asserted that the situation in Sandeshkhali is a consequence of Banerjee’s apprehension about losing the Lok Sabha elections. He alleged that Sheikh was not apprehended because the TMC requires the support of individuals like him during elections and has consequently granted him protection.

Several women in Sandeshkhali have recently come forward, accusing the local TMC leader and his associates of both land grabbing and sexual assault. Sheikh has been evading authorities since Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials attempted a search at his residence, during which they were attacked by a mob, leading to the recall of the raid. In response, Mamata Banerjee has placed blame on the BJP, asserting that they orchestrated the incident in collaboration with the ED and the media. She claimed that no woman in Sandeshkhali has filed an FIR and accused the BJP of attempting to disturb the peace in West Bengal.

“Bharat Ratna for Veteran BJP Leader LK Advani Sparks Political Divide” https://nacionstory.com/2024/02/03/bharat-ratna-for-veteran-bjp-leader-lk-advani-sparks-political-divide/ https://nacionstory.com/2024/02/03/bharat-ratna-for-veteran-bjp-leader-lk-advani-sparks-political-divide/#respond Sat, 03 Feb 2024 10:12:09 +0000 https://nacionstory.com/?p=1505 Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a significant announcement regarding the conferral of the Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award in India, upon veteran BJP leader LK Advani. This recognition pays homage to Advani’s substantial contributions to Indian politics, notably during his multiple terms as the BJP national president. Advani’s nearly three-decade-long parliamentary career culminated with his service as the Home Minister and later as the Deputy Prime Minister in the cabinet led by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee from 1999 to 2004. The decision to honor Advani underscores his pivotal role in shaping India’s political landscape. PM Modi lauded Advani for his distinguished roles as India’s Home Minister and I&B Minister, emphasizing his exemplary parliamentary interventions.

The Prime Minister commended Advani’s unwavering commitment to transparency, integrity, and political ethics, setting a benchmark in public life. Reflecting on the emotional significance of the Bharat Ratna for Advani, PM Modi expressed gratitude for the learning experiences during their interactions.

Born in Karachi, Pakistan, in 1927, Advani played a pivotal role in shaping the BJP since its inception in 1980. Advani, widely recognized for his intellectual prowess, strong principles, and commitment to a prosperous India, earned respect for his approach to nationalism and flexibility in political responses, as acknowledged by Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Positive reactions poured in from netizens, with one user praising Advani’s lifelong service and recommending his book, “My Country, My Life.” Another acknowledged the strong mentor-disciple relationship between PM Modi and Advani, hailing the latter’s monumental contribution to India’s growth and the BJP’s development.

In response to the announcement, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal extended his congratulations and best wishes to Advani, expressing hope for his continued good health and longevity. Sharad Pawar, President of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), acknowledged Advani’s valuable contributions to the country’s development.

However, Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav presented a different perspective, characterizing the BJP’s decision to honor Advani with the Bharat Ratna as an attempt to “save votes.” Yadav’s remarks suggest a political interpretation of the award, framing it within the context of electoral considerations.
