Hindus are in trouble as Modi has become PM: Kanhaiya Kumar
Freedom of expression convention
Bengaluru, September 5: “RSS and BJP have been playing with the basic objectives of our culture, history of the country and the intention of the Constitution. You might be the great sportsmen. You should not forget that the people of the county have been watching your games seriously like umpires”, said JNU Students Union former president Kanhaiya Kumar.
Speaking at the valedictory of the ‘Dissent India’ at the Freedom of Expression convention here on Wednesday, he said that the copies of the Constitution were being burnt near Jantar Mantar in Delhi and shouting slogans against Dr BR Ambedkar. For the last four and half years, the Constitution has been facing threat inside the country. “One year was passed after the murder of Gauri Lankesh. A few days ago, my friend Umar Khalid was attacked. We believed in science. How much they try to suppress us, we will bounce back in the same pace”, he added.
“Even if you attack on us, put us in jails, brand us as urban naxals and traitors and anti-Hindus, we will not go back from our objective. If we speak on unemployment, farmers, labourers, dalits, tribals and minorities, those who claim that they have brought Hindu administration, would say that Hindus are in trouble. You are telling the half truth to the people. Hindus are in trouble because, Narendra Modi has become the Prime Minister of the country”, he said.
In the name of naxalism, the common people were being kept away from their real problems. Though they have clarified that they would not support any act which is anti-Constitutional, the government has put the writers behind bars branding them as urban naxals. The central government has no answers to their questions. Ever since Narendra Modi has become the Prime Minister, 12,000 farmers have committed suicide. But the insurance companies have made Rs 10,000 crore profit in the name of crop insurance schemes, he said.
Saffron colour is a symbol of courage. The colour of the clothes of Basavanna, Sambhaji Maharaj, Sahu Maharaj, Buddha, Swami Agnivesh was saffron. But you people wear saffron colour clothes and kill innocent Muslims. It was not a courageous work. It was coward work, he said.
Gujarat MLA and dalit leader Jignesh Mevani said that there was undeclared emergency in the country. Narendra Modi-led BJP government has been putting the writers and activists behind bars branding them as urban naxals. So he would fight for defeating the BJP. When the Assembly election was held in the state, there were not even a single code violation cases against the leaders of Congress, JDS and BJP. But the government had booked three cases against him and thus tried to curb the fight, he said.
“Five years have gone after killing Dabholkar in Maharashtra. Soon after the SIT traced the foot-prints of Sanatan Sanstha members in the Gauri Lankesh murder, the Maharashtra police arrested the Sanatan Sanstha members in a hurry. If the Karnataka police arrested them and brought to Karnataka, Modi and Amit Shah could not do anything here”.

Vadodara car crash: FSL report reveals accused smoked marijuana, was not drunk
Vadodara: The main accused in the March 14 car crash in Vadodara, Rakshit Chaurasia, had smoked marijuana but was not under the influence of alcohol, according to the primary report from Gandhinagar’s Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL). Chaurasia, a 20-year-old law student, was driving a speeding car that rammed into two-wheelers near Muktanand crossroads in Karelibaug, killing a woman and injuring several others.
The FSL’s findings, as cited by police officials, revealed that Chaurasia’s blood sample tested positive for marijuana. Two others who were in the car with him—Praanshu Chauhan and Suresh Bharwad—also tested positive for the same. All three have been booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985.
Chaurasia has also been booked under s. 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, which deals with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He is currently lodged in Vadodara Central Jail. Chauhan has also been arrested, while Bharwad remains absconding.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone 4, Panna Momaya, the blood reports confirmed drug consumption. "They were driving the car after smoking marijuana," she said.
CCTV footage showed the car speeding before taking a sharp turn and hitting the two-wheeler. In the moments before the crash, Chaurasia was seen behaving erratically, shouting "another round, another round," followed by chanting “Om Namah Shivay” and calling out a girl’s name, “Nikita.”
Later, Chaurasia told reporters that a pothole caused the accident and claimed he was driving at 50 km/hr. He also said the airbag deployment had obstructed his view.
