Vandana Mathur, daughter of former Chief Minister Shiv Charan Mathur, has responded vigorously to a statement made by BJP MLA Gopal Sharma concerning an alleged encounter plan involving Cabinet Minister Dr. Kirodi Lal Meena from 35 years ago. At a press conference on Friday, she denounced Sharma’s remarks and demanded an apology from him.

“My father was a symbol of the freedom movement and was known for his integrity and principle-based politics,” Ms. Mathur asserted. “He never strayed from Gandhian values or the ideology set forth by our party.”

She added, “Gopal Sharma is serving as an MLA for the first time, and it’s clear he lacks an understanding of the political landscape during my father’s time. To make such accusations about events that occurred over three decades ago is highly inappropriate.”

Attending the press conference alongside her mother was Mathur’s granddaughter, Vibha. During the budget session of the Rajasthan Assembly, Sharma had made the claim that, in the early 1990s under Mathur’s leadership, there were plans for an encounter involving Dr. Kirodi Lal Meena and fellow legislator Harish C Sharma. He went on to assert that former Vice President and opposition leader Bhairon Singh Shekhawat had prevented those plans.

The opposition Congress party has already dismissed Sharma’s statements, emphasizing that unfounded allegations against esteemed politicians like Dr. Meena are unacceptable.

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.
