Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday paid tributes to those who suffered during the partition and said that the ”inhuman” chapter of India’s history can never be forgotten.

He said the ‘Partition Horrors Remembrance Day’ will remind the younger generation of the torture and pain suffered by the countrymen and will inspire citizens to maintain peace and harmony ”forever”.

”The partition of the country in 1947 is an inhuman chapter of Indian history which can never be forgotten. The violence and hatred claimed millions of lives and displaced innumerable people. ”Today, on ‘Partition Horrors Remembrance Day’, I bow to the lakhs of people who suffered the brunt of partition,” he said in Hindi.

The central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had last year declared that August 14 will be observed as ‘Partition Horrors Remembrance Day’ in memory of the struggles and sacrifices of the people.

He also noted that millions of people were displaced and many lost their lives due to the mindless hate and violence.

Pakistan was carved out as a Muslim country after the division of India by the British colonial rule in 1947. Millions of people were displaced and lakhs of them lost their lives as large-scale rioting broke out. India will celebrate its Independence Day on Monday.

Dr. Divya Gupta, founder of ‘Jwala’ said that through this effort, an attempt will be made to create a new world record by breaking the world record for making human chain in geographical shape.

“We had made a human chain on the map of India, and not only on the border but also inside it. Earlier, a human chain was formed on the boundary line of the country’s map, but we gathered people inside by making tricolor and blue Ashok Chakra in the middle. Total 5,335 people participated in this event,” she further said.

“Shri Shakti was made on the boundary of the map of India to show the importance and strength of the women of the country,” she added.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leaders Anil Deshmukh and Nawab Malik and Sena leader Sanjay Raut, who have been arrested in money laundering cases by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), are now lodged in Arthur Road Jail in three different barracks.

All these three leaders have been kept in separate cells in Arthur Road Jail for security reasons and TV, carrom, books and other necessities have been provided to them in their barracks.

However, Malik, who was arrested in February in a money laundering case, is currently admitted to the Criti Care Hospital in Kurla for treatment. He is admitted to a private hospital for the last two months.

Like other prisoners in the jail, all these three leaders are also getting a money order of Rs 6,000 per month. With that money, they can buy essential things inside the jail.

Sanjay Raut, who has been arrested on August 1 in the Patra Chawl land scam case by the ED, is now lodged in Arthur Road Jail as undertrial number 8959.

Raut has been kept in a separate barrack alone due to security reasons. According to his demand from the jail administration, he has been given notebooks and pens.

He takes books from the jail library for reading. Even if they write a book their written work will remain inside the prison’s boundary and cannot go outside.

The Shiv Sena MP is also getting homemade food at the prison as it is allowed by the Mumbai Court.

On August 8, Raut was sent to judicial custody till August 22. Since then, Raut has been lodged in the Arthur Road prison.

NCP leader Malik, who was arrested on February 23 over a property deal allegedly linked to the aides of gangster Dawood Ibrahim by ED is prisoner number 4622 in Arthur Road Jail. Malik has been in custody since his arrest by the ED, but due to his health issues, he is currently admitted to the Criti Care Hospital in Kurla for treatment.

The court had allowed Malik to use the bed and chair in Arthur Road Jail and allowed him to eat home-cooked food. He too has also been kept in a separate cell and has been given things like TV, carrom, and books.

Notably, former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, who is also lodged in Arthur Road Jail is prisoner number 2225.

Deshmukh is lodged in Arthur Road Jail for the last 9 months.

Deshmukh was arrested on November 1, 2021, in connection with extortion and money laundering allegations levelled against him by the former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh.

Like Malik and Raut, the court has not given permission for home-cooked food for Deshmukh and he has to eat the food provided in the jail. However, he has been given a bed, carrom and TV in his separate barrack.

Center vs AAP over freebie: Betrayal of citizen’s trust in elections

Modi and Arvind Kejariwal

Last month Narendra Modi in his speech stated that no government can do any good to the nation by giving ‘Revdi’ (Freebies). Following the statement, there was uproar among the opposition. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is hearing PIL on “irrational subsidies,” which calls for an objective assessment of the problem. Kejriwal alleged that the Centre had mismanaged its resources to the point where even public health and education services have become expensive.

The AAP launched the “Yogi Opposes Modi” social media campaign last Wednesday, mocking the PM by contrasting his comments on “revdi” with the UP CM’s declaration. A programme providing free bus rides for women in Delhi was introduced by the Kejriwal administration in 2019.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal, and the Delhi Chief Minister, is taking a lead in formulating a response to the PM’s argument at the same time as the AAP has filed a PIL to oppose the petition with Supreme Court.

When spoke to Dhananjay Shinde leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, he told Afternoon Voice that, “Every citizen has the right to live with dignity as per the constitution. Dignified life means getting basic needs like Water, electricity, education, and healthcare. In case, if a citizen is unable to afford the same then it is the government’s responsibility to fulfil the basic needs of its citizens. Unfortunately, no political parties follow the norm and they are going the capitalist model. In the last five years, PM Modi waived off a total of Rs 11 Lakh crore loan. Arvind Kejariwal runs a guanine government to serve the people. Since 2014, Modi made many promises like Rs 15 Lakh in every citizen’s account, Creating 2 crore jobs every year and bringing back black money. He also promised in 2017 to double the farmer’s income by 2022. Modi is making fool of people. In Delhi, Arvind Kejariwal government is providing subsidies to the people and still in profit.”

The Supreme Court on Thursday declared that freebies and social welfare programmes are two different things and that balance must be maintained between the economy and welfare programmes.

Council’s Deputy Chairperson and leader of Shiv Sena, Neelam Gorhe said, “If it is for collective welfare schemes like adding more food grains to the ration or the medicines that should be provided everywhere. Improving the life of people is fair enough and every citizen has the right to live a good life. Whether it is water, food, electricity, education and healthcare that is people’s constitutional right. As Narendra Modi states “we are giving free Revdi”, who is giving free revdi? If it is done on an individual level then yes but if we are providing it to everyone it is the responsibility of political parties to provide so.”

Sachin Sawant head of Mumbai Unit from INC told to Afternoon Voice, “The BJP party and Modi government who is using the term freebie are the ones who use these freebies to promote themselves for more than 2 decades. What they promise never fulfil, they are just making fools of people. On other hand, Modi says they have distributed free food worth Rs 80 crore in the Nation. The term they are using is the freebie is not a freebie is every citizen’s right. “

Fauzia Khan MP from NCP told to Afternoon Voice, “In front of government there are bigger challenges that need to be addressed. For example in some sectors, some people are dying because of hunger and it’s the government’s responsibility to save them. On other hand, we are breeding lazy culture. Who is not deserving is also getting fed for free. Instead of giving it for free, our government should start an employment scheme where everyone does hard work and feed themselves. But Governments making promises that they cannot fulfil and taking populist decisions which are not good sadly every government doing this including state and centre government.”
