โ€œHow Many Kashmiri Pandits Relocated By BJP In 8 Years?โ€ Questions Arvind Kejriwal

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday attacked the BJP for โ€œdoing politicsโ€ over Kashmiri Panditsโ€™ exodus, asking how many of them the party had been able to relocate to the valley.

He also once again suggested that the film, โ€˜The Kashmir Filesโ€™, should be uploaded on YouTube and that proceeds earned from it so far should be spent on the welfare of Kashmiri Pandits.

โ€œWas a single Kashmiri Pandit family relocated to valley by BJP in last 8 years?โ€ Mr Kejriwal asked the BJP.

โ€œBJP is doing politics over the issue. We demand โ€˜The Kashmir Filesโ€™ film to be uploaded on YouTube. The money earned from it should be spent on welfare of Kashmiri Pandits,โ€ he said during the post-budget press conference.

The suggestion was first made by him on Thursday, when during an assembly session he criticised the move of making the film tax-free, and suggested the filmmaker to just upload it on YouTube for all to see free of cost.

Poll Victory Shows Peopleโ€™s Trust In PM, Not Congress, Says Amit Shah

Aleesha Sam

Gandhinagar: The BJPโ€™s โ€œmassiveโ€ victory in four states is the testimony to the acceptance of policies and projects undertaken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make India safe, prosperous and powerful, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Saturday.

Mr Shah also said Congress is virtually finished in these four states โ€“ UP, Goa, Manipur, and Uttarakhand.

The Union minister was addressing a gathering at Bhoyan Moti village where he launched and laid the foundation stones for โ‚น 22-crore worth projects for 34 villages in his Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency in Gujarat. โ€œThe victory in Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand showed the trust that people have in the leadership of the Prime Minister,โ€ he said.

Earlier in the day, Mr Shah inaugurated Gujaratโ€™s first Audiology Speech Language Pathology College and a Diet Center at Ahmedabadโ€™s Sola civil hospital, making Gujarat the fifth state in the country to start such an institution.

Mr Shah said he was visiting his Lok Sabha constituency after a long time as he was busy campaigning and managing elections in the five states of which BJP won and formed governments in four states.

โ€œAnd in all these four states, Congress is finished, it is nowhere to be seen. The massive victory reflects the trust that the people of India have in the leadership of Narendrabhai (Modi),โ€ he said.

โ€œThis massive win of BJP shows the acceptance of the policies and programmes of the government under the leadership of Narendra Modi. The massive victory is the stamp of approval by the public on the campaign undertaken by Narendrabhai to make India safe, prosperous and powerful,โ€ Shah said.

He said PM Modi, as Chief Minister of Gujarat, had always worked tirelessly for โ€œall-encompassing, all-inclusive development that touched everyone and across all the regionsโ€.

โ€œModi cared about the health of all sections including the poor, farmer, or the factory worker,โ€ Mr Shah said while launching a cancer awareness campaign.

He said Ayushman Bharat Yojna has covered 100 crore people in the country. โ€œAlong with health checkups for children and Jan Aushadhi Kendra for discounted medicines, these schemes aim at providing better healthcare to the people. I believe that the awareness created today will make India number one in the world in the area of healthcare,โ€ Mr Shah said.

The Union minister said Uttar Pradesh had 10 medical colleges in 2017 and this number went up to 40 in 2022. โ€œNow, every district will have a medical college by 2024โ€.

Mr Shah also said PM Modi provided electricity, drinking water, toilet, gas cylinder, health services, and also ensured that people received both doses of COVID-19 vaccines, which helped the country tide over the third wave, whose impact was limited.

โ€œThe Centre also provided extra 5-kg grain to everyone for two years to ensure that the people affected by unemployment during the COVID-19 pandemic continued to get food,โ€ he said.

At the launch of Gujaratโ€™s first Audiology Speech Language Pathology College and Diet Center at Ahmedabadโ€™s Sola civil hospital, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel was also present.

This college will make rehabilitation as well as the treatment through computerised software simple and accurate for newborns with congenital deafness, hearing impairment, speech, comprehension and forgetfulness caused by nervous system disease, paralysis and cerebral stroke due to functioning of audiology speech-language pathology.

The college will enroll 20 students every year for the three-year course of Bachelor in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology, to be followed by a one-year internship.

A facility for free nutritious meals was also launched by Shah at the civil hospital. Meals will be available to relatives of the hospitalised patients from 9 AM till 1 PM.
