Rahul Gandhi slams Modi for waiving industrialists’ loan
Bidar, May 3: AICC president Rahul Gandhi slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who waived of the loans to the tune of thousands of crores of 15 industrialists, for not waiving off the loans taken by the farmers in nationalized banks.
Speaking at Janasheervad rally at Aurad in Bidar on Thursday, Rahul Gandhi said that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had waived off over Rs 8,000 crore loans of farmers availed from cooperative banks. But Modi who recalls Basavanna is not following what he is saying. But he accompanied Yeddyurappa and four former ministers who have been to jail. BJP is running its show on RSS ideology. But Congress ideology is inclusive, he said.
“Let Narendra Modi criticize me like anything. I would not criticize him personally. He is a prime minister for entire country and so as to me”, he said.
“As to why you are not speaking anything about Neerav Modi? How will you be so calm even after Neeerav Modi fled the country looting thousands of crores? Amith Shah son has involved in corruption. But being the Prime Minister, you have not spoken a single word about it”, he blasted.
Dalits are being killed in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat states. But Modi who speaks about Dr BR Ambedkar, is silent about these killings. Modi who speaks about ‘Bheti Bachao’, is keeping mum on BJP’s rape accused MLA and those who justify Katua rape incident. Why this grave silence, he asked.

Lahore (PTI): Pakistan's Punjab Police on Friday registered a case against unidentified gunmen for opening fire on Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) co-founder Amir Hamza, who suffered bullet injuries in the attack in Lahore.
On Thursday, two unidentified gunmen riding on a bike opened fire on the vehicle of the private TV channel 24NewsHD TV, owned by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, on Peco Road in Lahore near the TV channel's office.
In the attack, Hamza suffered bullet injuries.
"The FIR has been registered against unidentified gunmen, but it is sealed forthwith," a senior police officer told PTI.
He said the intelligence agencies have taken over this case from the police, and they are currently investigating the matter.
The channel's religious programme host Justice (retd.) Nazir Ahmed Ghazi and Hamza were in the vehicle when it was attacked. Hamza was shifted to a hospital for treatment.
Punjab police on Friday said that "upon receiving information about the incident, the SSP Operations immediately reached the scene and a high alert was imposed in the area. SSP Operations Tauqeer Naeem also met the affected individuals. Thankfully, all present in the vehicle remained safe during the firing."
It further said senior police officers of the Township and Chung, along with a heavy police contingent, were present at the scene.
"Police collected evidence from the site and initiated an investigation. Efforts to arrest the suspects are underway using CCTV footage and geo-fencing techniques. Search and sweep operations are being conducted at various locations, with scrutiny of suspicious individuals ongoing," police said.
It added that those involved in the incident will be traced and arrested soon.
The police sources said that Hamza has been shifted to his residence in Jauhar Town, Lahore, where police and agency personnel met him.
The leadership of the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML), a political front of Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed's banned Jamat-ud-Dawah (JuD), including Hafiz Saeed's son Hafiz Talha Saeed, also called on him.
TV host retired Justice Ghazi, who remained unhurt in the attack, remained a legal counsel for Hafiz Saeed, they said.
The PMML has strongly condemned the attack on Hamza and demanded that those involved in the incident be arrested immediately.
Hamza is regarded as LeT's second most important leader after its chief Hafiz Saeed, who has been in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail since 2019 after getting convicted for several years in terror financing cases.
Hamza has been designated as a terrorist by the US. In the past, he served as the head of LeT's "special campaigns" department.
In 2018, Hamza formed a fundraising group for the LeT following a ban on the JuD and Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation by the Pakistani government.
