Congress leader detained for ‘be ready to kill Modi’ remark

Madhya Pradesh Congress leader Raja Pateria was arrested on Tuesday for his controversial “be ready to kill” Prime Minister Narendra Modi remarks.

Pateria triggered outrage on Monday when a video of him surfaced in which he was heard goading a group of people to “kill” PM Modi in order to “save” the constitution.

In the viral video, Pateria, at a gathering of party workers, said, “Modi will end elections, Modi will divide on the basis of religion, caste, language; the lives of dalits, tribals, and minorities are in danger. If the constitution is to be saved, then be ready to kill Modi.”

Following his remarks, the Madhya Pradesh government ordered a police case against Pateria, a former state minister.

A case was registered against Pateria Monday afternoon at Pawai police station in Panna. Pateria was arrested from his residence in Hata town of the state’s Damoh district.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan condemned the comments and even targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by saying: “The real face of those pretending to do a Bharat Jodo Yatra is coming out.”

“Congress people are not able to compete with PM Narendra Modi in the field, that’s why a Congress leader is talking about killing him. This is the height of hatred. True feelings of Congress are being revealed. The law will take its course,” the chief minister said in a statement.

In the same video, Pateria claimed that the word “murder” in his speech meant “defeat”. The Congress leader said that he is a follower of Mahatma Gandhi’s ideology of non-violence and defeating PM Modi in elections is necessary to protect the rights of minorities.

The Congress, meanwhile, expressed its dismay over the “reprehensible” comments made by Pateria.

“Absolutely reprehensible! No such words should be used against the prime minister or against anyone. The Congress party denounces, condemns such statements,” Congress leader Pawan Khera said, as quoted by a National news agency.

“There is no excuse to use any such language against anyone including and especially the prime minister,” Khera said.

Pateria will be in jail till at least December 26 after failing to secure bail. Meanwhile, the Madhya Pradesh Congress has issued him a show cause notice and sought a response within three days.

New Delhi, Dec 13: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said that timely intervention by Indian Army stopped the Chinese PLA troops from encroaching on the country’s territory during the December 9 face-off at Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang sector.
Speaking in the Lok Sabha today, the Defence Minister said that Indian Army bravely stopped the Chinese People Liberation Army (PLA) PLA troops from encroaching on Indian territory, and forced them to withdraw to their posts.

“On December 9, 2022 in the Yangtse area of Tawang sector PLA troops encroached upon and attempted to change status quo. This attempt was tackled by our troops in a determined manner. There was fist fight in during this face-off as well. Our troops bravely stopped PLA from encroaching upon our territory and forced them to go back to their post,” Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said in the Lok Sabha.
The minister said that the issue had been taken up with China through diplomatic channels.

“After this incident, on December 11, the local commander of the area held a flag meeting with his Chinese counterpart under the established system and discussed this incident. The Chinese side was refused all such actions and told to maintain peace at the border,” Singh told the Lok Sabha.

The Defence Minister said that no Indian troops were killed or seriously injured in the incident.
Singh said, “In this face-off, a few soldiers on both sides suffered injuries. I’d like to tell this House that none of our soldiers died or suffered any serious injury. Due to the timely intervention of Indian military commanders, PLA soldiers have retreated to their own locations.”

“This matter has also been taken up with China through diplomatic channels. I want to assure the House that our forces are committed to guard our borders and ready to thwart any attempt that will be made to challenge it,” Rajnath Singh said.
“I am confident this House will respect the capability, valour and commitment of our armed forces, Singh said.

On Monday the Indian Army in a statement said: “On December 9, PLA troops contacted the LAC in Tawang Sector which was contested by own (Indian) troops in a firm and resolute manner. This face-off led to minor injuries to a few personnel from both sides.”
“Both sides immediately disengaged from the area. As a follow up of the incident, own (Indian) commander in the area held a flag meeting with his counterpart to discuss the issue in accordance with structured mechanisms to restore peace and tranquillity,” it said.

Opposition members earlier today created a ruckus in Parliament over the clash between troops of India and China. Soon after Rajnath Singh’s statement, Opposition leaders staged a walkout from Lok Sabha.
