Outrage in Kashmir due to the killing of one more Pandit
New Delhi, dated 16
There is a great outrage among the Pandits after the killing of another Kashmiri Pandit in Jammu and Kashmir. Puran Krishna Bhat of Chaudhary Gund village in South Kashmir's Shopian district was going to work in an apple orchard near his house when terrorists fired at him. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but could not be saved.
For a long time in Jammu and Kashmir, terrorists have been targeting Hindus and people outside Kashmir by target killing. So far five Pandits and seven outsiders have been killed. Pundits are outraged that the system has failed to stop these killings. Kashmiri Pandit employees of the Jammu government staged violent protests in Jammu following the killing of Puran Krishna Bhat.
According to government sources, it will not be easy to break the terror network in Kashmir. As the terrorists are getting help from the local people, the terrorists slip away easily after killing. In this situation, stopping the killing of Pandits is a big challenge for the government.
A joke about Nirmala's statement on rupee-dollar
Nirmala Sitharaman's statement regarding rupee and dollar is making a lot of fun. When Nirmala was asked about the Indian rupee at a press conference in Washington DC, she replied that the rupee is not depreciating but the US dollar is strengthening. As the dollar strengthens, other currencies around the world are weakening in comparison.
Nirmala claimed that the Indian rupee is performing well against other emerging market currencies. Currently, the value of the rupee against the US dollar is around 83 rupees. People are questioning against Nirmala's defense, what will happen if the rupee falls? People are even joking that when we go to buy crude oil, we will pay the same amount as before because the rupee has not weakened.
Shivraj's advice, write the medicine names in Hindi
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has advised the doctors that in the prescription given to the patient, write the name of the medicine in Hindi instead of English and write Shri Hari instead of It on the prescription. Chauhan also asked the question, what is the problem for doctors to write the name of medicine in Hindi? If you want to write medicine, write it in English or Hindi, what is the difference?
Chauhan's words have been called shocking by doctors on social media. He says that it is shocking to hear that the Chief Minister of a state can talk such nonsense. It is necessary to write the name of the medicine in English as it will cause confusion if there is a slight difference in the name of the medicine.
Some even quipped that Shivraj should advise Modi sir instead of advising doctors. If Modi saheb orders the pharma companies to write their names in Hindi instead of English, then the problems will be solved. Some even speculated that by writing Sri Hari, the patients would become Sri Hari.
Uddhav's request to activate Congress in Andheri
Uddhav Thackeray is said to have appealed to the high command to activate Congress workers to help his candidate win the Andheri East assembly seat by-election, which has become a prestige issue for the group. The area has a significant number of Muslim voters.
Traditionally these voters stay with the Congress but the Congress has not fielded a candidate supporting the Uddhav group. Because of this, Congress workers are not very interested, so Uddhav has to surrender to the high command.
Shiv Sena's Ramesh Latke won the 2019 election. Currently, he has won by about 17 thousand votes against BJP candidate Mulji Patel. At that time Amin Kutty of Congress got 28 thousand votes. The Uddhav group is counting that if this vote goes to the Shiv Sena this time, the loss caused by the separation of the Eknath Shinde group will be compensated.
The Uddhav group believes that the Muslim voters cannot vote for the BJP at any time but the Congress-NCP candidates will not show interest in voting.

JDU strikes
BJP and JDU-RJD have come face to face with JDU president Lalan Singh making vulgar allegations against Modi.
Calling Singh's comment highly objectionable and unparliamentary, BJP said that Singh should not forget that he himself was elected to the Lok Sabha in 2019 because of Modi. Ravi Shankar Prasad also demanded an apology from Singh. Singh flatly refused to apologise. JDU's ally RJD has supported Singh's stand and said that whatever Singh said is absolutely true, there is nothing wrong in attacking Modi.
According to analysts, Singh's language is not appropriate but given that the BJP leader also speaks this type of language, one cannot expect courtesy from the opposition.
