On Saturday, Congress organized protests throughout Madhya Pradesh in response to controversial remarks made by State Tribal Affairs Minister Vijay Shah and Deputy Chief Minister Jagdish Devda regarding Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and the Indian Army. The situation escalated when BJP Lok Sabha Member Faggan Singh Kulaste inadvertently referred to terrorists as “our terrorists” during a statement in Dindori district, further fueling the controversy.

In Indore, Congress activists symbolically depicted Prime Minister Narendra Modi as ‘Dhritrashtra’ from the Mahabharata by blindfolding a photo of him and placing a lock and chain over his mouth, illustrating their disapproval of his silence on the statements made by the BJP leaders.

In Ratlam, Women Congress members adorned a photo of Vijay Shah with bangles, signifying cowardice. Effigies were burned, and the photos of the three BJP leaders were blackened in various cities, towns, and rural areas across Madhya Pradesh.

A meeting of ex-servicemen was held at the state Congress headquarters in Bhopal, where retired Major Shyamsundar expressed that the BJP leaders’ remarks had saddened even former soldiers. He warned that if no stringent action is taken against the leaders, the government will be held accountable. He announced that ex-servicemen nationwide would join protests if the issue remains unaddressed.

Protests in Ujjain and Mandsaur also saw clashes between Congress workers and police.

Jawan at the Indo-Pak Border Appeals to Protect His Land from Encroachers

Sure! Here’s a rewritten version of the content:

An Indian Army soldier stationed at the India-Pakistan border in Jammu and Kashmir has shared a video on social media, accusing the family of a village revenue officer (VRO) of illegally taking over his ancestral land in Siddipet district, Telangana. He has called for viewers to spread the video to reach Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, claiming that higher authorities have remained inactive due to the VRO’s influence. Following the video’s widespread circulation, BRS leader and Siddipet MLA T. Harish Rao urged the district collector, M. Manu Chowdary, to take immediate action.

In his video, Army jawan B. Rama Swamy alleges that while he was away serving the nation, individuals encroached upon his 1.16 acres of agricultural land located in Chowdarpally, under the Akberpet-Bhumpally mandal. He accuses VRO Ramesh’s family of orchestrating this land grab during the previous administration. This situation echoes the story of Paan Singh Tomar, an army veteran who turned into a rebel to protect his agricultural land from encroachers.

The jawan has reported that his family has faced harassment from the encroachers, who are related to the VRO. They allegedly manipulated land records to remove the jawan’s family members and altered ownership details. Despite approaching the mandal revenue officer and the revenue divisional officer over the past six years, the family has been unsuccessful in securing justice due to the VRO’s powerful connections. After the video gained traction, people called for accountability, prompting MLA T. Harish Rao to publicly request thorough investigation and corrective measures, stating, “It’s shocking that a soldier, who protects our borders, has to endure such a situation.”
