Will not allow conversions by fraud and deceit in MP at any cost: CM Chouhan

Shivraj Singh Chouhan

Narmadapuram: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that he will not allow conversions by fraud and deceit in the state at any cost.
He made the remark during a PESA awareness conference in the tribal block Kesla of Narmadapuram district on Thursday. โ€œI am warning you against a conspiracy going on in the state. There are some people who forcibly marry our daughters and later try to convert them,โ€ Chouhan added.
โ€œMarry a tribal daughter, buy land and then that land comes in the name of their sons and daughters, this is a forgery. Tribal society needs to be careful of such deceit. This will not happen on the land of Madhya Pradesh,โ€ Chouhan said.
He further said, โ€œNo one can take the tribal land by deceit at any cost. Now we have made a provision in the PESA act. If someone wrongly tries to encroach on the land of a tribal even by the above-mentioned methods, then the Gram Sabha will have the right to intervene and get his land back. Mama will stand with you, we will not let the land go out of your hand. If someone takes it, then Mamaโ€™s bulldozer will come into action, I will not spare him.โ€

โ€œI would like to make it clear that the PESA is not against anyone whether it is a general class or backward class, it is not against anyone. The PESA beneficiary is being implemented in tribal blocks; it will be applicable only in Gram Panchayats, not in cities. The non-tribal people who live in the Gram Panchayat will also be included in the Gram Sabha. It is not against anyone, it is empowering the tribal people,โ€ CM Chouhan added.
Besides, he also said, โ€œNo new liquor and cannabis shop can be opened without the permission of the Gram Sabha. If there is a liquor shop next to the school or near the religious place, then the Gram Sabha can recommend its removal. If the Gram Sabha wishes, then it will declare a dry day as well.โ€

Congress

Guwahati: While the Rahul Gandhi-led โ€˜Bharat Jodo Yatraโ€™, which got rolling from Kanyakumari on September 7, is still in Maharashtra, the one launched parallely by the state Congress in Assam on November 1 saw thousands of leaders and workers massing in state capital Guwahati on Thursday.
Drawing inspiration from the Rahul-led nationwide march, which has already covered several states, the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) launched its own โ€˜Bharat Jodo Yatraโ€™ with the aim of covering an 834 kms across the state over 70 days. Congressโ€™s Assam march kicked off from Golakganj in the Dhubri district, along the Assam-West Bengal border, towards Sadiya district on the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border.
As the march rolled into Guwahati on Thursday, it was joined by thousands of Congress leaders and workers, including APCC president Bhupen Kumar Borah, AICC general secretary Jitendra Singh, Congress MPs Gaurav Gogoi, Pradyut Bordoloi and Abdul Khaleque, along with party MLAs Rakibul Hussain, Rekibuddin Ahmed, Nandita Das, Sibamoni Borah and Jakir Hussain Sikdar.
Speaking to ANI, Singh said the people of Assam want change. โ€œThis Yatra was started from Golakganj in Dhubri district on November 1 and has now reached Guwahati. It will cover 834 kms and end in Sadiya district,โ€ Singh said.

Hitting out at the ruling BJP, the Badruddin Ajmal-led AIUDF and the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), the Congress leader accused the three parties of making a โ€˜Mahajotโ€™ (grand alliance) in Assam.
โ€œThe BJP, AIUDF and Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) have entered into a โ€˜Mahajotโ€™. But the people of Assam now want change. In the coming days, the people give a reply to this grand alliance,โ€ Singh said.
The โ€˜Bharat Jodo Yatraโ€™, Assam, will cover a 12-km distance in Guwahati ending at Chandmari in Guwahati.
On the partyโ€™s Assam march, Congress state president Bhupen Kumar Borah had earlier said that the yatra will give much-needed momentum to the party in the state ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and the panchayat polls, which will be held next year.
The Assam leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra is scheduled to cover Dhubri, Bongaigaon, Barpeta, Nalbari, Kamrup (Rural), Kamrup (Metro), Morigaon, Nagaon, Golaghat, Jorhat, Sivasagar, Dibrugarh and Tinsukia districts.
