No force can stop caste census: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi (PTI): In a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said those who call themselves ‘deshbakt’ are scared of the ‘X-ray’ of caste census and asserted that no force can stop it.
Addressing the ‘Samajik Nyay Sammelan’ here, Gandhi said it is his life’s mission to ensure justice for the 90 percent of the population against whom injustice has been done.
“As soon as our government is formed, the first thing that would be done is caste census,” Gandhi said.
He also said that the Congress manifesto aims to give back 90 per cent Indians a small part of the Rs 16 lakh crore given to big businessmen as loan waivers.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
