Udhayanidhi Stalin says “not in agreement with temple construction after demolishing mosque” amidst BJP’s Big Ram temple Event.
Chennai: DMK leader and Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin stated on Thursday that his party does not support a temple that was built after a mosque was demolished in reference to Ayodhya’s Ram Temple.
Udhayanidhi Stalin, the son of Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin, told reporters in Chennai that his grandpa, renowned politician MK Karunanidhi, had stated that the DMK was not opposed to any specific religion or faith.
“The construction of a temple there is not problematic for us. The head of the DMK Youth Wing stated, “We are not in agreement with the construction of a temple after demolishing a mosque,” alluding to the 1992 destruction of the Babri Masjid, according to PTI.
The leader, whose comments about Sanatan Dharma caused a major controversy last time, stated that politics and religion shouldn’t be combined.
“Our Treasurer (T R Baalu) has already stated that spiritualism and politics should not be mixed,” Udhayanidhi continued.
On January 22, Ayodhya will host the Ram Temple’s consecration ceremony. Hundreds of celebrities, including actors, politicians, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have been invited to the event.
The invitation to the event was declined by the Congress and numerous other opposition parties, such as the TMC and CPI(M), who claimed that the BJP was attempting to gain political advantage from the religious occasion.
The Supreme Court mandated in 2019 that the temple be built on the disputed location, over thirty years after the Babri destruction. It also requested that a large mosque be built on a separate plot of land from the government.
Udhayanidhi Stalin stirred some controversy in September of last year when he said that Sanatana dharma should be eliminated since it was opposed to the concept of social justice.
“There are some things that should only be abolished; they cannot be opposed. We are powerless against malaria, dengue, mosquitoes, or corona. Udhayanidhi had declared, “We have to eradicate this, just as we have to eradicate Sanatana.”

Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat jodo Nyay Yatra reaches Assam. Rahul Attacks Himanta led Bjp’s state government stating “Most Corrupt in India”
Started on Thursday morning, the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra march’s Assam leg will last till January 25. It will pass through 17 districts and 833 km.
The BJP government in Assam, led by Himanta Biswa Sarma, was labelled as the “most corrupt” in India on Thursday by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Gandhi attacked the ruling BJP and its ideologue Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for “spreading hatred and looting public money” shortly after the Congress’s “Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra” entered Assam.
“Perhaps, the most corrupt government in India is in Assam,” Gandhi claimed, addressing party workers at Halowating in the Sivasagar district. “Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra” is when we shall bring up the concerns pertaining to Assam.
Gandhi refuted the BJP’s claim that the Congress will not gain from such marches, stating that the “political narrative” of the nation has been altered by the “Bharat Jodo Yatra” last year.
“Hatred is being propagated by the BJP and RSS, inciting conflict between different communities. Their primary task is to plunder the nation and take advantage of its resources,” he declared.
When Gandhi arrived at Mariani town at midday, he noticed hundreds of rural women waiting in line to pick up forms for a recently announced plan at a government-run centre in the Nakachari district. All of the women broke from their ranks and went to the road to meet the Congress MP when they saw Gandhi’s convoy passing by.
Afterwards, the video was posted on social media site X by Jairam Ramesh, the Congress general secretary responsible for communications, who is travelling with Gandhi during the yatra.
On Day 5 of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, women in Mariani who were attending an event hosted by the Chief Minister of Assam spontaneously and joyfully met @RahulGandhi. The Assamese New Year has begun. Ramesh continued.
The Congress MP is leading the 6,713-kilometer march, which started on January 14 in Manipur and will end in Mumbai on March 20. The yatra’s Assam leg will last till January 25.
It is planned for the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ to traverse 110 districts across 15 states.

Indian-origin Singapore’s Transport Minister S Iswaran resigns amidst allegation of corruption.
Amidst accusations of corruption, S Iswaran, the Transport Minister of Singaporean Indian descent, declared his departure from the ruling People’s Action Party. Furthermore, according to The Straits Times newspaper, the 61-year-old politician would resign from his position as a member of parliament.
Iswaran was taken into custody in July of last year as a result of an inquiry conducted by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB).
According to media sources, his detention was made public on July 14; however, no information regarding the nature of the inquiry was given. Property magnate Ong Beng Seng, who chairs the race promoter Singapore GP and holds the rights to the Singapore Grand Prix, was detained and questioned about his contacts with Iswaran.
Iswaran refuted the numerous crimes the CPIB accused him of in a January 16 resignation letter to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. “I refute the accusations contained in the charges, and I’ll now concentrate on cleansing my record. I believe it is appropriate for me to step down from Cabinet, as well as from my roles as a member of Parliament and the PAP, in light of the current situation,” the letter stated.
Iswaran said in a separate letter on January 17 that he would be returning his MP stipend and salary that he had been receiving since the CPIB investigations started in July 2023.
He stated that he will not be requesting the return of the funds if he is found not guilty, saying, “My family and I have decided to return the monies because we cannot in all good conscience benefit from them when I was unable, on account of the investigations, to discharge my duties as a minister and Member of Parliament.”
The prime minister expressed his disappointment and sadness that Iswaran was quitting politics under these circumstances in response to Iswaran’s letter on Wednesday.
However, it is imperative that I handle these situations strictly in accordance with the law. It is the proper course of action. The integrity of the government and the Party (PAP) must be upheld. You recognise the significance of doing this, I’m sure. No less is expected by Singaporeans,” added Lee.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) announced in a separate statement that Iswaran will be replaced on Thursday by Acting Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat. In addition, he will be named Finance’s Second Minister.
Meanwhile, Iswaran’s position as the Minister-in-Charge of Trade Relations would be assumed by Grace Fu, the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment.
When Iswaran went before a district judge earlier on Thursday, he was accused with two charges of corruption involving bribery.
According to a Channel News Asia report, he showed up at the State Courts at around eight in the morning and did not answer questions from media as he walked to the court entrance.
He entered a not guilty plea to 27 accusations, including two under the Prevention of Corruption Act, one for obstruction of justice, and 24 under the Penal Code, which dealt with receiving gratification while working as a public servant.
In order to further the hotelier’s commercial interests in a Singapore Grand Prix contract with the Singapore Tourism Board in September and December 2022, Iswaran is charged with taking more than SGD 160,000 from Ong.
In addition, he faces one allegation of obstructing justice in May 2023 and 24 charges of accepting expensive items worth more than SGD 218,000 from Ong while he was a public worker between November 2015 and December 2021, including Singapore Grand Prix tickets.
Since May 2021, Iswaran has served as the Transport Minister. Since his initial election as a Member of Parliament in 1997, he has been involved in politics for almost 26 years.

Jharkhand News:JMM enforces a bandh in protest of the ED’s summons to the CM in In Sahibganj.
Ranchi, January 17: The ruling party in Jharkhand has established a front against the Enforcement Directorate (ED) ahead of the agency interviewing Chief Minister Hemant Soren on January 20 on the purported land fraud.
Workers from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) imposed a nine-hour bandh in Sahibganj. The party has previously alerted the ED to the public’s outrage. At a time when the central agency team has lately been attacked in West Bengal, there is animosity directed towards ED in Jharkhand.
Workers from the ruling party physically blocked stores and stopped traffic in several locations in Sahibganj while shouting anti-Central Investigation Agency slogans.
The district’s Barhait constituency, which is home to Chief Minister Hemant Soren, had a complete bandh.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren was requested by ED to be available for interrogation from January 16 to January 20 in a letter given to him on January 13. In response, Soren informed ED that on January 20, his statement might be videotaped at home.
Shahjahan Ansari, the president of JMM Sahibganj area, asserted that cooperation and harmony prevailed throughout the area throughout the bandh.
He said that the bandh did not apply to trains, ambulances, or milk vehicles. Ansari declared, “The government was formed with a full majority by our Barhait MLA and Chief Minister Hemant Soren.” But the BJP is the one behind their harassment. We’ve declared a bandh in opposition to it.
Supriyo Bhattacharya, general secretary and spokesperson for JMM, voiced outrage over the ED action on Tuesday, claiming that the people of the state are incensed about it. “We may see gruesome results of anger among the people if ED is late in understanding the warning,” he warned. He has also suggested that ED maintain a factual, open, and unambiguous working approach.
