Babri Masjid vs Ram Mandir: राम मंदिर बन गया है। 22 को भव्य प्राण प्रतिष्ठा कार्यक्रम है। बड़े-बड़े दिग्गजों को प्राण प्रतिष्ठा कार्यक्रम में शामिल होने का निमंत्रण दिया गया है। पूरा देश वर्तमान में भगवा ध्वज के नीचे गर्व महसूस कर रहा है। वही आरएसएस प्रमुख मोहन भागवत ने बाबरी मस्जिद को लेकर बयाना देते हुए कहा- 500 वर्ष का इंतजार खत्म हुआ। बाबरी मस्जिद गुलामी का प्रतीक थी।

बता दें 1992 में कारसेवकों ने बाबरी मस्जिद को ध्वस्त कर दिया था। मोहन भागवत ने कारसेवकों को याद करते हुए कहा- बाबरी मस्जिद गुलामी का प्रतीक थी। कारसेवकों ने उसे ध्वस्त किया। आज वहां भव्य राम मंदिर बनकर खड़ा हो गया है। कारसेवकों ने कभी दंगा नहीं किया। क्योंकि उन्होंने बाबरी मस्जिद के अलाव अयोध्या की किसी मस्जिद को ध्वस्त नहीं किया।

उन्होंने आगे कहा- मंदिर बन गया है। वर्षों का इंतजार समाप्त हुआ। यह ख़ुशी का पल है। हमें अपना संघर्ष अभी जारी रखना होगा। ताकि हम अपनी मंजिल हासिल कर सकें। अभी काफी कुछ करना बाकी है। सपने पूरे करने के लिए अभी संघर्ष करना होगा। समय के साथ कई चीजें परिवर्तित हुईं। कई संस्कृति ध्वस्त हो गईं। लेकिन आज भी हिन्दू संस्कृति बची हुई है। विश्वगुरु बनने के लिए पूरे देश को एकजुट होना होगा।

बताते चलें 22 जनवरी को राम मंदिर का प्राण प्रतिष्ठा किया जा रहा है जिसमें प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी, उत्तर प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ, आरएसएस चीफ़ मोहन भागवत सहित कई हस्तियां शामिल हो रही हैं। लेकिन शंकराचार्यों ने इस आयोजन में आने से इंकार कर दिया है, उनका कहना है कि मंदिर का निर्माण पूरा नहीं हुई है ऐसे में इसमें प्राण प्रतिष्ठा करना उचित नहीं है।

In a significant development in Indian politics, Asaduddin Owaisi, the leader of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and a Member of Parliament from Hyderabad, has sparked a crucial debate on the ‘One Nation, One Election’ proposal. Through a social media platform, on Monday (January 15), Owaisi conveyed his concerns about the proposal, which he believes could be a disaster for Indian democracy and federalism. This bold statement has brought the topic into the limelight, raising pertinent questions about the practicality and implications of simultaneous elections in the world’s largest democracy.

Owaisi’s Letter: A Strong Opposition to ‘One Nation, One Election’

Addressing the high-level committee on the ‘One Nation, One Election’ initiative, Owaisi, in his letter, stressed his position as a parliamentarian and AIMIM chief. He detailed his substantial objections, based on constitutional law, against the proposal. These objections were not only presented to the committee but were also previously communicated to the Law Commission of India on June 27, 2018, during its consultation phase. Additionally, Owaisi included an article he wrote for the Hindustan Times on March 12, 2021, further elaborating his stance on this critical issue.

The Core of the Discussion: Ignoring the Essentials of Democracy

In his correspondence, Owaisi lamented the necessity to reiterate his objections – both preliminary and fundamental – before the High-Level Committee (HLC). He criticized the approach of various consultations on the matter, pointing out that they have overlooked the primary requirement of creating law in a democracy, which justifies the need for a policy. He noted that neither the parliamentary standing committee, the NITI Aayog, nor the Law Commission has adequately justified the need for such a significant shift. Instead, discussions have been more focused on how the proposal could be implemented, rather than if it should be.

‘A Solution in Search of a Problem’: Questioning the Proposal’s Rationale

Owaisi’s critique extends to the terms of reference of the HLC itself, arguing that it too is flawed. He observed that the focus has been on creating a legal and administrative framework for conducting simultaneous elections, without adequately considering whether such a fundamental change is constitutionally acceptable within India’s democratic framework. He describes the initiative as a solution in search of a problem, implying that the proposal may be addressing a non-existent issue.

Elections: More Than a Formality in Democratic India

Highlighting the sanctity of elections in a democratic setup, Owaisi emphasized that elections are not mere formalities and voters are not rubber stamps. He argued that the electoral democracy is the pillar upon which the constitutional edifice of India stands. He warned against subjecting elections to administrative convenience or economic feasibility, suggesting that doing so could lead to absurd consequences. He raised rhetorical questions about the potential implications of prioritizing financial or administrative considerations over constitutional necessities, questioning the logic of such an approach.

In the whirlwind of modern life, the essence of true happiness often hinges on the connections we nurture. It’s a universal truth that relationships, in all their varied forms, play a pivotal role in our lives. Recognized wisdom suggests that happiness is intertwined with the quality of our relationships. However, maintaining these relationships demands our attention and care, primarily through the investment of time. In today’s fast-paced world, the scarcity of time has become a predominant challenge affecting our relationships.

Navigating the Busy Tapestry of Life

Our current lifestyle, characterized by relentless busyness, has led many to inadvertently neglect their relationships. This neglect is becoming a significant factor in the increasing emotional distance within relationships, leading to consequential and often severe outcomes. If you’re sensing a growing gap in your relationships, understanding and implementing strategies to bridge this distance is crucial.

The Cornerstone of Relationship Building: Time

The adage that ‘time is of the essence’ holds particularly true in the context of relationships. Devoting time to nurture relationships is fundamental. This may involve balancing work commitments with quality time for relationships, or even taking short breaks from work to focus on loved ones. Whether it’s a staycation at home or a getaway, such dedicated time can significantly enhance relational bonds.

Emotional Attunement: Understanding and Empathy

A primary reason for the widening gap in relationships is often a lack of understanding and empathy towards each other’s feelings. Cultivating an environment where emotions are acknowledged and respected can lead to increased affection and, gradually, a reduction in emotional distance.

Making Each Other Feel Special

Regardless of the reasons for distance in a relationship, one of the most effective ways to diminish it is by making each other feel valued and special. This could be through thoughtful gestures, like giving gifts that resonate with your partner’s preferences, thereby reigniting the spark of love and care in your relationship.

Strengthening the Bond: Trust and Open Communication

If the bond in a relationship is strong, creating distance becomes considerably more challenging. Therefore, if you fear the possibility of growing apart, a viable solution is to strengthen the trust in your relationship. Engaging in open and honest communication, sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings, and being receptive to your partner’s perspective can solidify trust over time.

The Importance of Personal Space in Relationships

Personal space is an integral aspect of healthy relationships and must be respected. When efforts to encroach on another’s personal space become prevalent, it can initiate a gradual increase in relational distance. Recognizing and honoring the need for personal space, even with life partners, is crucial for maintaining a healthy balance.

In recent days, North India has experienced an intense spell of winter weather, marked by dense fog and record low temperatures. This article delves into the specifics of these weather conditions, the impacts on daily life and transportation, and the measures taken by authorities to manage the situation.

The Onset of Dense Fog and its Implications

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) had predicted a period of very dense fog across North India, which has been realized over the past few days. The visibility dropped significantly, affecting daily activities and posing challenges, particularly during the early morning hours. Dense fog is not just a meteorological phenomenon but also a major disruptor of daily life, impacting commuting, air travel, and overall public safety.

Air Quality Concerns in the Capital

Delhi, the nation’s capital, has witnessed a continuous decline in air quality, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) consistently falling into the ‘very poor’ category. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) recorded an AQI of 382 in Delhi, which is alarming. This poor air quality poses significant health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory issues and the elderly.

Cold Wave Sweeps Across the Region

The weather department also indicated the likelihood of a ‘cold day’ in several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Rajasthan. This prediction came to fruition with some regions experiencing their lowest temperatures of the season. For instance, the temperature in Ludhiana plummeted to a mere 1 degree Celsius, creating challenging living conditions for residents.

Impact on Air Travel and Predictions for the Coming Days

Flight operations have been severely affected due to low visibility and dense fog. Delhi Airport, in particular, witnessed significant disruptions with several flights being diverted or rescheduled. This situation underscores the broader impact of severe weather conditions on transportation and logistics.

IMD’s Forecast and Preparedness

The IMD had forecasted extremely dense fog, particularly in the Delhi-NCR region. In response, authorities issued alerts and advisories to the public, urging caution, particularly for travelers and commuters. Preparations were made to manage the potential disruptions caused by the fog and cold wave.

Temperature Variations Across Different Regions

The last 24 hours have seen varying temperature ranges across different parts of North India. Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Western Uttar Pradesh, Northern Rajasthan, and Bihar recorded minimum temperatures between 3 – 7°C. In contrast, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand experienced slightly higher temperatures ranging from 8-10°C.
