Congress sends copy of Constitution to PM Modi, says read it when you get time from dividing nation

NEW DELHI: On the occasion of the 71st Republic Day, the Congress on Sunday sent a copy of the Constitution to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and took a dig at him saying, "when you get time off from dividing the country, please do read it".
The opposition party posted several tweets on its official Twitter handle, alleging that the government was subverting the Constitution
The Congress also tweeted the videos of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, former prime minister Manmohan Singh, former party chief Rahul Gandhi and general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra reading the Preamble from a protest assembly at Rajghat recently.
"Dear PM, The Constitution is reaching you soon. When you get time off from dividing the country, please do read it. Regards, Congress," the party tweeted along with the snapshot of an amazon receipt which stated that the copy of the Constitution was being dispatched to the Central Secretariat.
In another tweet, the Congress said a lesson the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has failed to understand is that all persons no matter creed, caste or gender are guaranteed equality before the law under Article 14 of the Constitution.
"It is this article that is completely violated by the government's Citizenship Amendment Act," the party said.
"It is important to remember that it is enshrined in our Constitution that all persons are protected from discrimination of any form. Therefore, any attempt to draft laws based on discrimination are unconstitutional," it said.
Both Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi extended their greetings to the people on the occasion of the Republic Day.
In a message on the eve of the Republic Day, Sonia Gandhi urged people on Saturday to rise above personal prejudices and stand united to protect the Constitution and its values, claiming that they are being attacked through a "deep-rooted" conspiracy.
"A deep-rooted conspiracy has been hatched to set a discourse to divide countrymen based on religion, regionalism and language as also to subvert and undermine the Constitution. An unprecedented atmosphere of disturbance, fear and insecurity has been foisted upon the country.
"The common citizen is convinced that the constitutional values are no longer safe in the hands of the present dispensation," she had said..

NRC online data go missing, authorities say cloud storage period expired
GUWAHATI: The online data of Assam’s National Register of Citizens (NRC) showing details of included and excluded persons have suddenly disappeared from the NRC official website. The details were made available in the website in October last year on an order of the Supreme Court.
Assam leader of opposition Debabrata Saikia on Tuesday sent a letter to Registrar General and Census Commissioner informing about the “mystery” of the “online data vanishing all of a sudden.”,
“The data have vanished especially when appeals process has not even started due to the go-slow attitude adopted by the NRC Authority. There is, therefore, ample scope to suspect that the disappearance of online data is a mala fide act and is prima facie a deliberate violation of the directive issued by the Hon’ble Supreme Court,” Saikia wrote in his letter the registrar general.
An official source at the NRC office said, “The data were stored in cloud storage. But, the service period of the cloud storage provided by WIPRO expired and the subscription renewal was not done as there was no coordinator after the transfer of the former coordinator Prateek Hajela. After the new coordinator has assumed charge, the renewal process is underway and the data should be online in new few days.

CAA not against Muslims, says Rajinikanth

CHENNAI: Actor Rajinikanth on Wednesday said the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is not against Muslims. If any Muslim is affected he will lead the protests, he said.
"CAA is not against Muslims. Muslims will not be affected. If it affects them, I will come out and lead the protests," Rajinikanth told reporters outside his Poes Garden residence in Chennai.
"Muslims cannot be sent away. Those Muslims, who wanted to go to Pakistan during partition, had left. Those, who believed this is their motherland, stayed back," Rajinikanth said. There is an attempt by some to create confusion, he added.
"Some political parties are misleading people about CAA. Students should not allow themselves to be misguided by parties. They should fully understand an issue, before jumping into protests," he said.
Rajinikanth said NPR is "essential" to check the presence of foreigners. "It was an exercise undertaken by the Congress in 2011, it was done in 2015 and also now. But, NRC has not yet been implemented. Only discussion is on," he said.
As for Sri Lankan refugees, Rajinikanth said, they should be given dual citizenship. "All the Sri Lankan refugees staying in Tamil Nadu should be provided with dual citizenship," he said.
Rajinikanth also said that he is an honest tax payer and has not indulged in any illegal trade practice. He was responding to a question regarding his submission to Income Tax authorities that he had lent money to a few people for interest.

• The actor said, he has not yet received any summons to appear before a Commission inquiring into the firing against Sterlite protestors in Tuticorin in 2018.

Those who raise anti-national slogans will be sent to jail: Amit Shah

BHOPAL: Those who raise slogans against India will be sent behind bars, BJP president and Union home minister Amit Shah said at a rally in Jabalpur on Sunday, his first since CAA came into force. A ‘sky-high’ Ram Mandir will be built in Ayodhya in just four months, he announced.
“Some students raised anti-India slogans, ‘Bharat tere tukde honge ek hazar, Inshallah Inshallah’ at JNU. Shouldn’t they be put in jail? Those who would raise anti-national slogans will be sent behind bars,” said Shah at the CAA outreach rally.
The BJP chief challenged Congress to stop construction of Ram temple. “Should Ram temple be constructed or not? Congress leader and advocate Kapil Sibal said it should not be built. Sibal bhai, stop it if you can. A sky-high Ram temple is going to come up within the next four months.”
Shah challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee to point out a single provision in CAA that can take away any Indian’s citizenship.
“Congress and opposition parties are misleading the nation on CAA and instigating minorities,” he alleged, adding: “After Independence, Congress divided the country on the basis of religion. Hindus, Sikhs, Parsis and Jains, who lived in both East and West Pakistan wanted to return, but they stayed because of the bloodshed. The leaders of our country had assured them that they will be welcomed here and given the citizenship whenever they want.”
Justifying CAA, Shah said, “After Partition, there were 30% Hindus in both East and West Pakistan. Today, there are just 3% Hindus in Pakistan and 7% Hindus in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). I want to ask the blind and deaf Congress leaders, where have the Hindus, Sikh, Sindhi brothers gone? Where have Machhua (fishermen) of Bangladesh vanished?”
“Mahatma Gandhi had said, they were citizens of India and would be welcomed here when they want to return. The then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had also promised to give them Indian citizenship, but Congress is running away from the promise. We will do everything for them. Those who were being tormented will be rehabilitated here. Congress should open its ears and listen. Do whatever you can. We will give citizenship to all of them,” Shah emphasised.
The home minister also raised the issue of human rights violations in Pakistan and said, “Atrocities are being committed in Pakistan on minorities. Gurudwara Nanakana Sahib was attacked and the daughter of the Granthi kidnapped. What is happening there? Why is Congress not raising this matter?”
Shah also quoted the election manifesto of Rajasthan Congress, which promises to provide citizenship to Hindus and Sikhs from Pakistan. “Now, Congress is refusing. The party is misleading the public. I would like to assure that there is no provision of taking back citizenship of any Indian citizen,” he said.
Accusing Congress of propagating lies, Shah said: “We will tell the public how Mamata Banerjee, Kejriwal and Rahul Baba are spreading false information. We will contact more than 3 crore people under the awareness drive. BJP has committed to finish some tasks since 1950. Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji has completed those tasks.”
Congress opposes every move taken by the BJP-led NDA government, he said. “Congress is opposing every decision, from Article 370, 35A, to Ram temple, triple talaq, surgical strike, air strike, and now citizenship law. For vote bank politics, Congress is singing the tune of Pakistan and Imran on every issue. I urge Congress to return from the wrong path. It should understand the feelings of the public else, you (Congress) will be completely wiped out,” said Shah.
The BJP president also hit out at Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath for refusing to implement CAA. “Nath should not talk loud. Instead, he should focus on MP. The state has already been handed over to liquor and sand mafia. We are searching for gaushalas that Congress had promised in MP but couldn’t see a single one. Farmers who have been cheat
