Praniti Shinde refuses to apologise to "trolls and andhbhakts" over Operation Sindoor remarks
Solapur/New Delhi: Congress MP Praniti Shinde on Wednesday stood by her remarks on Operation Sindoor and said she would not apologise to the BJP’s "trolls and andhbhakts", a day after the saffron party’s workers staged a protest against her in Solapur.
Responding to the controversy over her speech in the Lok Sabha, the first-time MP said, “If the families of those 26 people are affected, we are willing to say sorry a thousand times. But we will never apologise to these trolls and the andhbhakts of the BJP. The BJP has used Operation Sindoor for their PR tactics and optics. This is the stand we maintain even today.”
During her speech she had questioned, “Operation Sindoor was nothing but a tamasha of the government in the media. No one is telling us what was achieved. How many terrorists were caught? How many fighter jets were lost? Whose fault was it?”
BJP workers staged protests in Solapur and accused her of dishonouring the armed forces through her remarks. They also displayed a photograph of Shinde on a donkey in protest. Following the uproar, the term "tamasha" was expunged from the official Parliamentary records.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his address in Parliament on Tuesday also criticised her comments saying, “She was made to say that Operation Sindoor was a tamasha. This is like putting acid on the wounds of the 26 people killed by terrorists.”

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
