Ranchi, Leader of legislature wing of BJP Babulal Marandi has written a letter to Jharkhand DGP pointing out to the discrimination being made in filing of cases against the leaders and workers of the BJP. He said that recently police has registered cases against leaders and workers of the BJP who had protested in the fields over the issues of the farmers in which state BJP president Deepak Prakash and Kanke MLA Samri Lal have been named as accused. He said that the actions are a clear reflection that the parties in power are making use of police to suppress the voice of opposition and is also exposing their dual faced. He said that when on one hand the parties in power including Congress and RJD do some event or agitation the police keeps silence.
Babulal Marandi pointed to the recent examples of agitation staged by the Congress party on June 11 over rising prices of petrol and diesel, celebration of birthday of Lalu Prasad Yadav by Minister Satyanand Bhokat in Chatra on June 11, celebration of birthday of Rahul Gandhi on June 19 etc. He further wrote that prior to all these Congress had staged an agitation before the Raj Bhawan in support of farmers agitation in which all Covid guidelines were set aside but unfortunately in none of these programme police took any action. Babulal said that dual face of the police is not good for the interest of the state and demanded that the DGP should take self cognisance of these cases and take appropriate action.

There is a photograph that the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways loves to circulate. A freshly laid six-lane expressway stretches into a golden horizon. Smooth asphalt. Clean white markings. The kind of road that makes you believe, for a brief and generous moment, that India has arrived. Minister Nitin Gadkari has built an entire political identity around such photographs — and to be fair, he has earned some of it. When I began my career as a cost engineer on national highway projects in 2010
Temperature soared across the entire European continent in the latter half of June and early July. France, the Netherland and Belgium recorded 3700 excess human deaths and authorities warned that these numbers are preliminary and may even rise. People above 50 years of age accounted for larger proportion of the deaths. Several deaths are reported due to persons drowning in water bodies; those who did not know swimming also jumped in deep water to beat the heat and perished. Experts have found that the current heat waves in Europe is worst recorded in its history.
The contemporary struggle over religious monuments in India cannot be understood without revisiting the deeper historical questions that underlie it: the nature of “Hinduism” in the past, the evolution of temple architecture, the role of Buddhism under state patronage, and the present-day politicisation of Islamic-period monuments. Taken together, these questions reveal not only a contested past but also a deliberate project of mythmaking in the present, designed to forge a unified religious-national identity by cultivating hostility toward Muslims.
