Union Home Minister and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah attended the inaugural Samadhi Smriti Mahotsav in honor of Shri Vidyasagar Ji Maharaj in Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh. He also took part in the Shri 1008 Siddhachakra Vidhan Vishwa Shanti Mahayagya.

At the event, the Union Home Minister unveiled a commemorative coin valued at ₹100, a special ₹5 postal envelope, 108 footprints, and a portrait of Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Ji. He also laid the foundation stone for the upcoming Samadhi Smarak ‘Vidyayatan’.

Among the dignitaries present were Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma, and Muni Shri Samta Sagar Ji Maharaj.

In his address, Amit Shah remarked that Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Ji Maharaj was not merely a saint or a ‘Jainacharya’; he was a visionary who heralded a new ideology and era. Born in Karnataka, Acharya Vidyasagar Ji dedicated his life to the promotion of Indian culture, languages, and overall national identity. Shah noted that it is uncommon for a religious figure to prioritize both the propagation of national identity and the interpretation of religion on a global scale.

He emphasized that Acharya Vidyasagar Ji’s life was devoted to religion, culture, and the nation. The Home Minister expressed his privilege in having met Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Ji multiple times, highlighting how the Acharya always advocated for the promotion and preservation of Indian languages and the global recognition of India’s glory and identity, preferring that the nation be referred to as ‘Bharat’ rather than ‘India.’

Amit Shah pointed out that by referring to ‘Prime Minister of Bharat’ on the invitation card for the G-20 Summit, Prime Minister Modi has implemented Vidyasagar Ji’s principles. He affirmed that Modi has brought Acharya Ji’s vision to fruition without any political motives, embodying his message in practice.

The Home Minister concluded by stating that Acharya Ji remained committed to a life of austerity until his final breath, guiding both Jain and non-Jain followers toward a path of salvation with his spiritual energy.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
