Prominent journalist Ravish Kumar has responded to the disturbing incident in Uttar Pradesh where a teacher allegedly encouraged Hindu students to beat a Muslim classmate. Kumar took to Twitter to express his concern and urge action against such incidents that promote communal hatred among children.

In a tweet, Kumar initially shared his reaction to the incident: "I have removed the earlier tweet to avoid revealing the identity of the child. The parents of the small child who gets up and beats a Muslim child of his own age at the behest of teacher Trupti Tyagi should come forward and file a case that Trupti Tyagi is making their innocent child a rioter in the name of a Hindu."

He highlighted the grave consequences of such actions, stating, "Communalism turns children into human bombs. How the child who has been beaten will spend his life with this trauma is a matter to think about. May all of our love reach him."

Kumar also extended his concern for the child who was seemingly influenced by the teacher's divisive instruction: "May the love of all of us reach the child in whose mind the teacher has filled the poison of hatred so that he comes out of this hatred and doesn't become a rioter."

Kumar then underscored the significance of parental vigilance in such situations: "Parents must remain alert and aware of the insidious attempts to mold their children into agents of hatred under the guise of anti-Muslim sentiment."

Further commenting on the influence of media and hate-filled content, Kumar observes: "The creators of divisive content have consistently bombarded us with anti-Muslim narratives for an extended period. However, their lives continue without disruption, complete with their luxury cars. This appalling business of propagating hatred has generated substantial financial gains."

Hyderabad (PTI): During the last 11 months, the Congress government in Telangana has reversed an air of gloom and despair under the previous BRS regime and ended the "darkness", Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said on Saturday.

He was responding to a post by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that under Congress rule developmental trajectory and fiscal health is turning from bad to worse in Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana.

“I am happy to clarify several misconceptions and factual errors in your statements about my state and our government," Reddy said in his post.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday in a series of posts said the Congress stands "badly exposed" in front of people for promising to them what the party knows it will never be able to deliver.

“Every promise made by us to people is a sacred commitment for us. In the last 11 months, we have reversed an air of gloom & despair under BRS, and ended the darkness. Like a morning sun, Telangana is now Rising,” Reddy said in the post addressed to Modi.

Within two days of taking charge, the Telangana government fulfilled its first and second promise - free bus travel for women across all government buses, and a healthcare and hospitalisation cover of 10 lakhs under Rajiv Aarogyasree, the CM pointed out.

Even before completion of first year of rule, the Congress government has implemented India's largest ever, state-level farmer loan waiver of Rs 18,000 crore covering over 22 lakh farmers, he said responding to PM’s comments that in Telangana, farmers are awaiting the (loan) waiver they were promised.

Women get free electricity, with no domestic power charge for their homes up to 200 units, Reddy noted.

The CM also claimed that his government has held the largest recruitment drive and is regularly holding exams of all levels and provided jobs to over 50,000 eligible youth, a record “unmatched by any BJP state government.”

The CM said the government is rejuvenating River Musi, which was allegedly neglected by the previous government and protecting lakes and other precious water bodies, encroached upon and destroyed wantonly with abandon in the last 10 years.
