BHARAT BANDH AGAINST CAA HAD NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE INCLUDING JAIPUR AND AJMER
First India News
Jaipur/Udaipur: There
was no significant im-
pact of Bharat Bandh in
Jaipur and Ajmer, where
the shops remained open
in all localities of the
Walled City area of the
state capital. While some
markets, including the
court, remained closed
in the Dargah market
area of Ajmer. In wake
of the bandh, heavy po-
lice force was deployed
in many areas of both
Jaipur and Ajmer.
However, in Udaipur
protesters and traders
clashed over the forced
shutdown of shops
amid Bharat Bandh.
Seeing the commotion,
the police took control
of the situation by re-
sorting to mild lathi

riod, some protesters
pelted stones injuring

soon, the ADG called her up on phone and
apologized! But even then he is not letting go

Why Rahul deliberately chose

to skip CAA over core issues...
WELL DRAFTED SPEECH WAS A TOUGH TASK ACCOMPLISHED BY RAHUL IN CLOSE CONSULTATION WITH GEHLOT
Aditi Nagar
New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi
is one of those politicians
who have always re-
mained shrouded in mys-

to know more about him
and his thoughts. While
the Gandhi scion has
managed to attract
crowds, specially the
youth, his ‘silence’ over
the ‘highly flammable’
issues of Citizenship
Amendment Act (CAA)
and National register
for Citizens (NRC) dur-
ing the ‘Aakrosh rally’
held at Jaipur on 28th
January, was a properly
thought out strategy to
corner the Union gov-
ernment where it would
hurt it the most. The en-

people’s attention is not
diverted from the fail-
ures of the BJP govern-
ment, which the saffron
party is trying to hide

and CAA,” sources said.

sources said.
It was after when a

failed to ‘discover’ a

agenda to mainly focus
their political attack on
growing unemployment
and rising prices, that
knowledgeable sources
were at pains to explain
Rahul and Gehlot’s
strategy.
Notably, by carrying out
similar rallies across the
nation, the former Con-

touted to be rechristened
yet again, is trying to bring
together youth of similar
orientation and motivate
them to bring about a
change in the country.

P
ooja Hegde has made a
donation of Rs 2.5 lacs
for two children suffer-
ing from cancer. Re-
cently, she attended an
event hosted by, CURE
Foundation. The event
was held to announce the 6th
Biennial ‘Cancer Crusaders In-

tournament which will be held
as a fund-raiser and awareness
initiative to support the child
cancer patient.
During the event, she said, “I

is important to create the habit
and culture of giving back to so-

“I just wanted to do my bit,
children are resilient and most
children with cancer can be treat-
ed and not having money should
not be something that stops that.
