New Delhi: 476 of 829 candidates who cleared Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exams this year, reportedly received their coaching for the exam from an RSS affiliated coaching center.

Senior journalist Vijaita Singh reported this on Twitter on Tuesday. Sankalp Foundation an RSS affiliated coaching center has trained 476 of 829 candidates who cleared the UPSC examination this year.

The journalist also shared a picture of an invitation card from the foundation, wherein Union Petroleum Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, and Nagaland Governor RN Ravi will interact with the successful candidates as Chief Guests of the Webinar meeting.

The webinar meeting is scheduled for September 20 at 11:00 am where several other Guests of Honors will address the candidates along with Pradhan and Ravi.

Several Twitter users expressed their shock over the news, while several took a sarcastic dig at the development adding that it must be an “Act of God” in the Modi government, a phrase used by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to explain the contraction of the economy during COVID-19 pandemic.

Founder of the Political and Social satire platform ‘The Desh Bhakt’, Akash Banerjee also expressed his shock and wrote “476 of 829 successful UPSC candidates from a SINGLE COACHING INSTITUTE!! When there are thousands of coaching institutes in India! // Must be #ActOfGod??”

Taking a cue at the term ‘UPSC Jihad’ coined by Sudarshan Channel, several users also questioned if this can be called as ‘Bhagwa Jihad’. Another user wrote, “can we call this Sanghi infiltration of services?”

Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.

"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.

Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.

"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.

"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.

Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
