BJP Urges JMM to Cease Misinformation Practices

The discourse surrounding violence in Manipur and delimitation has intensified in Jharkhand, marked by strong criticisms from both the BJP and JMM. BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo reacted to a recent press conference held by the JMM, accusing the party of misleading the public and distorting the statements made by the RSS.

Shahdeo asserted that the RSS is a nationalist organization dedicated to the advancement of the country and Sanatan Dharma. He lambasted the JMM for posing questions to the RSS, citing its troubled history with corruption that has tarnished Jharkhand’s global reputation. He further accused JMM of disseminating falsehoods due to their own frustration and desperation.

Shahdeo clarified that the RSS does not oppose delimitation; rather, it advocates for a process that reinforces the nation’s unity and integrity, while also accounting for regional balance and cultural identity. He referenced Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statements, reassuring that the delimitation process would not be unjust to any state or diminish proportional reservations. He pointed out that no official drafts or processes have been finalized, which renders JMM’s claims on the issue misleading and unfounded.

Shahdeo further accused the JMM of misrepresenting RSS statements regarding the situation in Manipur. He acknowledged that both the RSS and the BJP are aware of the challenges facing Manipur over the past 20 months but noted that recent actions by the central government have sparked hope for improvement. He mentioned that the situation in Manipur is evolving rapidly, with the government gradually reopening roads that had previously been shut down.

Earlier, the JMM had challenged the BJP to clarify its stance on the violence in Manipur and the issue of delimitation. During a press conference on Monday, JMM General Secretary Supriyo Bhattacharya referenced the recent All India Representative Meeting of the RSS, urging the BJP to take a clear position on these vital matters. He claimed that instead of preparing for grand celebrations of its 100th anniversary in 2025, the RSS is focusing on expanding its organizational reach.

Bhattacharya highlighted that the meeting acknowledged the ongoing violence in Manipur, suggesting that it could take years for the situation to stabilize. However, there was a lack of specific actions discussed by the government and RSS to tackle the crisis, with discussions primarily revolving around the activities of organizations like Ramakrishna Mission and ISKCON.

As these issues garner political attention, tensions within Jharkhand’s political landscape are escalating. Both the BJP and JMM are actively seeking to shape public perception.

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.
