Hate Speech in Sillod: Suresh Chavhanke calls for economic boycott of Muslims
Sillod: In a controversial speech delivered in Sillod, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, on August 14, Suresh Chavhanke, the editor-in-chief of Sudarshan News, made several inflammatory remarks targeting the Muslim community. Chavhanke, known for his provocative rhetoric, urged an economic boycott of Muslims and called for the removal of what he described as "infiltrators" from the country.
Chavhanke claimed that there are 10 crore "infiltrators" in India, including Bangladeshis, Rohingyas, Pakistanis, and Afghans, who he blamed for the majority of crimes in Maharashtra.
He further alleged that the population of Hindus in the state has significantly declined and justified the demolition of a mosque near Vishalgad, comparing it to actions taken by Shivaji as claimed by him.

West Bengal: EC orders suspension of joint BDO ahead of polls
Kolkata (PTI): The Election Commission on Friday ordered the immediate suspension of a joint block development officer (BDO) in poll-bound West Bengal and directed the initiation of disciplinary proceedings against her.
The poll body, however, did not mention the grounds for the action.
In a letter to the chief secretary of West Bengal, the poll panel said the action against Jyotsna Khatun, the joint BDO of Purba Bardhaman district's Khandaghosh, is based on a recommendation from the chief electoral officer of the state.
"The commission has agreed to the proposal and directs that Jyotsna Khatun be suspended and disciplinary action be initiated against her immediately," the EC stated in its letter to the West Bengal chief secretary.
Khatun had been notified as the Assistant Returning Officer (ARO) for the 259-Khandaghosh Assembly Constituency.
The poll panel has asked authorities to implement the order "with immediate effect" and submit a compliance report by 11 am of Saturday.
The letter also instructed the authorities to urgently propose a replacement for the vacant post.
