Madhya Pradesh Sports Minister Vishwas Sarang has responded to the objections raised by All India Muslim Jamaat President Maulana Shahabuddin Rizvi regarding the Holi celebrations of Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami’s daughter. In a letter to Shami, Sarang urged him and his daughter to stand firm against ‘fundamentalists’ and ‘extremists’.

Sarang criticized Rizvi for his indiscreet remarks, which he believes are intended to disrupt the social and cultural harmony of the country. He emphasized that such behavior would not be tolerated.

The minister praised Shami’s daughter for participating in Holi, a celebration that reflects the culture and traditions of India, stating that no one should threaten a young girl in such a manner.

Additionally, Sarang expressed disappointment over the silence of the Opposition Congress, particularly Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, regarding this issue. “Where is Priyanka Gandhi, who continually champions the slogan ‘Ladki hun, lar sakti hun’ (I am a girl, I can fight)?” he questioned, asserting that the party’s silence shows it is engaged in politics of appeasement.

Sarang further condemned Rizvi’s objections to Mohammed Shami drinking water during a cricket match during the month of Ramadan—a time when Muslims observe fasting. He stated that all religions, including Hinduism and Islam, prioritize love for one’s motherland, and noted that Shami has represented his country with excellence.

The minister called for an immediate public apology from Rizvi for his “objectionable” comments.

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.
