'Agni Missile fired by Nagpur': Cong's swipe at PM Modi over Mohan Bhagwat's 'Bhagwan' remark
New Delhi, Jul 18: The Congress on Thursday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's "bhagwan" remarks, calling the comments an "Agni Missile fired by Nagpur" and aimed at Lok Kalyan Marg.
While the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters is situated in Nagpur, 7 Lok Kalyan Marg is the prime minister's official residence.
The opposition party's swipe came after Bhagwat said in the course of self-development, a man may want to become a "superman", then "devta" and "bhagwan" and aspire for "vishwaroop" but nobody is certain what lies ahead.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh tagged a clip of Bhagwat's remarks and said, "I am sure the self-anointed non-biological PM has got news of this latest Agni Missile fired by Nagpur from Jharkhand and aimed at Lok Kalyan Marg."
Several people linked with opposition parties also took similar digs on social media.
Addressing a village-level workers meeting, organised by non-profit organisation Vikas Bharti in Jharkhand's Gumla district, RSS chief Bhagwat asserted that people should work relentlessly for the welfare of mankind, since there is no end to the pursuit of development and human ambition.
"After achieving human qualities, man aspires to become superman with supernatural powers and then attain the status of 'devta' and 'bhagwan'. He then aspires for 'vishwaroop' (the supreme power's all-pervading form). What is beyond that, no one is certain," Bhagwat said.
There is no end to the development of the inner and outer self and one should work relentlessly for humanity, he said, adding that a worker should never be satisfied with his or her work.
"Work should continue, one should strive to work constantly in areas of environment, education and health...There is no end to it and constant work in different areas is the only solution...We should strive to make this world a beautiful place as is the nature of India," the RSS chief said.
मुझे यक़ीन है कि स्वयंभू नॉन-बायोलॉजिकल प्रधानमंत्री को इस ताज़ा अग्नि मिसाइल की ख़बर मिल गई होगी, जिसे नागपुर ने झारखंड से लोक कल्याण मार्ग को निशाना बनाकर दागा है। https://t.co/zjJswu6vPd

Two more Hindu priests arrested in Bangladesh: ISKCON Kolkata
Kolkata, Nov 30: Two more Hindu priests were arrested in Bangladesh, ISKCON Kolkata spokesperson Radharamn Das claimed on Saturday.
Speaking to PTI, Radharamn said, "I have received information that two more ISKCON monks have been arrested by police in Bangladesh."
In a post on X on Friday night, Radharamn said, "In the meantime, bad news has come: two devotees who went with prasad for Chinmaya Prabhu were arrested on their way back to the temple, and Chinmaya prabhu's secretary is also missing. Please pray for them."
Earlier on Friday, Radharamn had posted, "Another Brahmachari, Sri Shyam Das Prabhu, was arrested by Chattogram Police today."
"Does he look like a terrorist? #FreeISKCONMonks Bangladesh. The arrest of innocent #ISKCON brahmacharis are deeply shocking & disturbing," Radharamn posted on X on Saturday. His comments comes comes in the backdrop of unconfirmed reports of arrest of three more ISKCON monks, days after the arrest of spiritual leader Chinmay Das.
Chinmay Das, who also served as a spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday while en route to Chattogram to attend a rally. He was denied bail and sent to jail on Tuesday by the Chattogram Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate Court.
Historically, Hindus made up approximately 22 per cent of Bangladesh's population during the 1971 Liberation War.
The Hindu population, once a substantial demographic in Bangladesh, has experienced a significant decline in recent decades, with the minority community now comprising only around 8 per cent of the country's total population.
This drop is largely attributed to a combination of socio-political marginalisation, exodus and sporadic violence over the years.
In the meantime, bad news has come: two devotees who went with prasad for Chinmaya Prabhu were arrested on their way back to the temple, and Chinmaya prabhu's secretary is also missing. Please pray for them. #Bangladesh #ISKCON pic.twitter.com/NLX8hNZmpN
