New Delhi: A derogatory comment about Smriti Singh, the widow of Kirti Chakra awardee Captain Anshuman Singh, has sparked outrage on social media, with users demanding action against the person responsible. The National Commission for Women (NCW) has also taken notice and written to the Delhi Police, demanding immediate and appropriate action.

The offensive remark was made on a photo of Smriti Singh at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, where she received the award for her husband, who died while trying to save his colleagues at an Indian Army camp in the Siachen glacier. Captain Singh was posted with the 26 Punjab regiment as a medical officer.

The NCW described the comment as "lewd" in its letter to Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora. The commission stated that the comment contravenes Section 79 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023, and Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, 2000. "NCW condemns this behavior and urges immediate police action," the women's panel said on X.

The NCW has also requested the police to arrest the man and submit a detailed report within three days. Many social media users tagged the NCW, demanding strict action against the person who commented and against those who shared screenshots of the comment.

On the night of July 19, 2023, a short circuit led to a fire in an Indian Army ammunition dump at Captain Singh's camp. Seeing a fiberglass hut engulfed in flames, he acted immediately to save those trapped inside, successfully rescuing four to five individuals. However, the fire soon spread to a nearby medical investigation room. Captain Singh re-entered the blazing structure but was unable to escape the fire, ultimately losing his life.

He was cremated with full state honors in Bhagalpur, Bihar, on July 22, 2023.

Belagavi: The Congress party held a press conference on Thursday following the conclusion of its Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting in Belagavi. This significant meeting marked the centenary of the party's only session presided over by Mahatma Gandhi in Belgaum in 1924.

Addressing the media, Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal, Communications In-Charge Jairam Ramesh, and Spokesperson Pawan Khera outlined the key takeaways from the discussions held during the meeting.

The leaders revealed that the CWC deliberated extensively on various issues concerning the party's future direction and strategies. The major points discussed included:

1. Organizational Revamp:

The Congress emphasized restoring accountability among its leaders at every level. It was decided that an organizational revamp would be carried out to strengthen the party's presence and performance on the ground.

2. Massive Political Campaigns:

To reconnect with the masses, the party has planned a series of campaigns and events, including:
- Nationwide rallies and padayatras to be held on December 27, 2024, and January 26, 2026.
- A special campaign titled Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan aimed at addressing threats to the Constitution and raising issues affecting the common man.

3. Upcoming AICC Session:

The All India Congress Committee (AICC) will hold its next session in Gujarat in April 2025, which is expected to set the tone for the party's strategy leading into upcoming elections.

The Congress leaders also expressed serious concerns regarding the transparency and impartiality of the Election Commission of India (ECI). They specifically pointed to the recent elections in Maharashtra and Haryana, alleging that the process was manipulated.

Jairam Ramesh stated, “Both the Maharashtra and Haryana elections were doctored. These were not free and fair elections at all. The attitude and functioning of the ECI in these states raise serious doubts about their commitment to democratic principles.”

The CWC meeting in Belagavi holds historical significance as it commemorated 100 years since Mahatma Gandhi presided over the Congress session in Belgaum in 1924. The leaders used the occasion to reflect on Gandhi’s vision for India and pledged to uphold the values of justice, equality, and democracy that he stood for.

With the announcement of these initiatives and campaigns, the Congress party aims to reinvigorate its base and challenge the ruling government on critical issues.
