Suvendu Adhikari calls for abandoning "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" and shutting down Minority Morcha
Kolkata: Suvendu Adhikari, Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, has called for abandoning the "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" slogan. During a public event where he raised slogans of "Jai Shri Ram," Adhikari asserted that the BJP will now determine its supporters and extend support accordingly. He emphasized a focus on securing Hindu votes, stating, "We will win and protect Hindus. Those who are with us are with us. Stop Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas. There is no need for a Minority Morcha. Stop it. We will uphold the Constitution."
This statement of BJP leader Shubhendu Adhikari is important because PM Narendra Modi himself has given the slogan of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas. In such a situation, his talk of moving away from this slogan matters. Shubhendu Adhikari made it clear through his speech that BJP will now engage in polarization of Hindu votes in Bengal. It had also tried this with incidents like Sandeshkhali, but now it can be aggressive on this agenda.

The BJP in Bengal perceives a need to counteract the unified Muslim vote that benefited the TMC in recent elections, aiming instead to consolidate Hindu votes under its banner.
I have spoken about nationalist Muslims & you said "Sabka sath, sabka vikas". But I wont say it anymore. Rather we shall now say "Jo hamare sath hum unke sath. Sabka sath sabka vikas band karo", No need of minority morcha. : BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari pic.twitter.com/3vyQpjxBw8

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
