“As an RSS member, I got to live with Army men,” says PM Modi; Twitterati ask when, where?
PM Narendra Modi who was in Uttarakhand to celebrate Diwali with jawans said that being an RSS member, he had an opportunity spend time with army men.
In what has become a tradition of sorts, Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked Diwali by spending it with jawans in Uttarakhand. With each passing event, Modi’s jumlas are getting saucier and juicer. And of course, it goes without saying that they can never be proved, just like like bachelor’s degree from Delhi University.
While celebrating Diwali with jawans at Harsil, Uttarakhand, Modi said that being an RSS member, he had an opportunity to spend time with army men. He also stated that earlier governments played politics over One Rank One Pension (OROP) for army personnel and it was his government who fulfilled their dreams.
“As an RSS member, I got an opportunity to live among Army men. At that time I heard a lot about One Rank One Pension. Many govts came & left. Since, I was connected to you I understood your emotions. So, after becoming PM it was my responsibility to fulfill your dreams of OROP,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The claims of the Prime Minister have drawn strong criticism from Twitterati calling it another lie from him. The twitter users asked the PM to provide details regarding his days spent with the army. They also corrected Narendra Modi’s claims about the OROP stating that it has not yet been approved and retired army officials are still protesting at Jantar Mantar.
Here are some of the tweets:
1. Why/how are RSS cadre allowed to live amongst Army men? Under which rule?

2. Glad you're sympathetic to the #OROP cause. Please do fulfil it, then! A one-time pay-out has been given but pension system hasn't been acceptably changed. Veterans still on dharna at Jantar Mantar. https://t.co/DvzMByBo0R

8 children between ages of 1 and 14 dead after mass shooting in Louisiana, police say
Shreveport(US) (AP): A gunman in Louisiana killed eight children in shootings at two different homes early Sunday in the nation's deadliest mass shooting in more than two years, police in Shreveport said.
The victims ranged in age from one to about 14 years old, said Shreveport police spokesperson Chris Bordelon. A total of 10 were shot and some of the children were related to the suspect, Bordelon said.
The gunman later died after a chase with officers who fired at the suspect, Bordelon said. The suspect stole a car while leaving the scene of the shootings and was followed by police, according to Bordelon.
Police did not release the name of the suspect but did say he was an adult male. The shootings were the result of a “domestic disturbance,” Bordelon said.
Officials said they were still gathering details at the crime scenes south of downtown Shreveport — the two homes and a third location.
“This is an extensive scene unlike anything most of us have ever seen,” he said.
It was the deadliest mass shooting in the US since eight people were killed in a Chicago suburb in January 2024, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University.
At a news conference outside the residence where one of the shootings occurred, officials appeared stunned, requesting patience and prayers from the community as they sorted through multiple crime scenes.
“I just don't know what to say, my heart is just taken aback,” Shreveport Police Chief Wayne Smith said. “I cannot begin to imagine how such an event could occur.”
“This is a tragic situation — maybe the worst tragic situation we've ever had,” said Tom Arceneaux, mayor of the city in northwestern Louisiana with about 180,000 residents. “It's a terrible morning.”
Louisiana State Police say their detectives have been asked by Shreveport police to investigate. In a statement, state police say no officers were harmed in the shooting that involved an officer after a police pursuit into Bossier City on Sunday morning.
State police are asking anyone with pictures, video or information to share it with state police detectives.
Louisiana Gov Jeff Landry said in a statement that he and his wife were heartbroken. “We're deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers and first responders working tirelessly on the scene,” he added.
