Shatrughan Sinha No Longer A 'VIP' At Patna Airport: official
Patna, Jan 01: Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha has ceased to be treated as a "VIP" at the airport in the city, an official said on Monday.
According to Rajendra Singh Lahoria, Director of the Jay Prakash Narayan Airport here, Sinha had been granted exemption from frisking besides access to the tarmac with his own vehicle.
"The facilities were extended to Sinha for a period which ended in June this year. No orders have been received for extending the same", Lahariya told reporters here.
The airport director was replying to queries about the facilities being extended to the former Union minister who represents Patna Sahib in the Lok Sabha and has been, for some time, highly critical of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre and the current BJP leadership.
Speculations have been rife that the disgruntled BJP MP may fight the Lok Sabha polls next year on the ticket of some other party in the event of his party fielding some other candidate from Patna Sahib - a constituency which he is representing for the second consecutive term.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
