Sena needs to decide whether it wants to be BJP's ally or opposition party: Sharad Pawar	24.9.2017	DNA: Popular News
NCP president Sharad Pawar today said the Shiv Sena is speaking truth on issues such as inflation, but it should first decide whether it wants to be an opposition party or a ruling ally. "Shiv Sena is sharing power with the BJP in the Centre and the state. It is commendable that the party is speaking truth about the price hike and disappointing performance by the state and Union governments," Pawar said here. "But at the same time, Shiv Sena must decide its policy....it is difficult to understand (currently) whether it is a ruling party or opposition," Pawar told reporters here.

Mann Ki Baat is a one-sided communication by the Prime Minister: Congress	24.9.2017	DNA: Popular News
The Congress said on Sunday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat' was a "one-sided" communication in which he did not speak on important issues such as the police action on BHU students, unemployment and high fuel prices. The Congress's criticism came hours after Modi, in the 36th episode of his monthly address, said he has used the programme to reflect the views and aspirations of the people rather than expressing his own opinions. "Over the last three years, we have continuously seen that 'Mann Ki Baat' is (a) one-sided communication exercise of the prime minister...He only does one-sided communication," Congress spokesperson Ajoy Kumar told reporters here. Kumar alleged that the prime minister did not speak on issues such as police action on students in the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) campus last night, unemployment, high fuel prices, the "deteriorating situation" in Kashmir and border areas and incidents of sexual abuse of children. Terming the police action on ...

BHU molestation case: University calls protest work of 'anti-nationals' who want to malign institution	24.9.2017	DNA: Urban Tales
Even as the students of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) continued their protests against the University for ‘shaming’ a student who was allegedly molested on campus on Thursday, the university authorities called the protests the work of ‘anti-national’ forces who are trying to malign BHU’s image. “This protest was completely political in nature because it was timed with the PM’s visit, with the intention of soiling the image of the university,” the BHU administration stated in a media release. Dismissing Friday’s reports that a woman student had tonsured her head in protest, the BHU Information Centre on Saturday released on its Facebook page screenshots of a student with her head shaved. The post mentioned her name and details and claimed she had tonsured her head last year. Stating that she was being “exploited” by “anti-national” forces, the university called the protests the “work of propagandists”. Students of the University went on protest after a woman student of the Arts Faculty was harassed by ...
