Nishikant leads charge against Rahul after his Op Sindoor comments, accuses Gandhi family of ‘deshdroh’

New Delhi: An India-Pakistan agreement about sharing information about military movement—signed by the Chandrashekhar-led government in 1991 and enforced by the Narasimha Rao-led government in 1994—has become the center of a fresh political row, with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party terming the agreement as “deshdroh” or treason. Chandrashekhar’s son, Neeraj Shekhar, is currently a BJP leader, and the Narendra Modi-led government also conferred the Bharat Ratna on Narasimha Rao last year, but the BJP is trying to make a larger argument by harking back to the agreement. The political storm erupted after BJP MP Nishikant Dubey launched a blistering attack on the Congress party. “The Congress, in 1991, supported the Chandrashekhar government that backed the pact. Later, the Congress-led Na...

Despite Nadda’s directive, BJP leaders rally behind Nishikant Dubey, question SC’s ‘overreach’

New Delhi: A day after BJP president J.P. Nadda rejected party MP Nishikant Dubey’s criticism of the Supreme Court, more BJP leaders launched fresh attacks on the judiciary—accusing it of silence on issues like West Bengal violence, cash recoveries from a judge’s residence, and judicial ‘overreach’—despite Nadda’s call to refrain from targeting the apex court. Several BJP leaders have rallied behind Dubey, also attacking the Congress for its past confrontations with the judiciary and arguing that the party has no moral right to be part of the current debate. Bengal BJP General Secretary Agnimitra Paul said, “Nishikant Dubey has said the right thing. How can the CJI overrule the President of India? The President appoints CJI, policymakers make rules. If the country is run by the CJI and the...

‘Muslim commissioner’: Hours after rap from Nadda, Nishikant targets ex-CEC for criticism of waqf law

New Delhi: Within hours of getting a rap from BJP president J.P. Nadda, who declared that the party rejects his statements on the Supreme Court and Chief Justice of India, party MP Nishikant Dubey launched a scathing attack on former chief election commissioner (CEC) S.Y. Quraishi, branding him a “Muslim commissioner, not an election commissioner” over his criticism of the Waqf (Amendment) Act. A four-time Lok Sabha MP, Dubey was responding to an X post by Quraishi in which he said the new law was “undoubtedly a blatantly sinister/evil plan of the government to grab Muslim lands”. “You were not an election commissioner, you were a Muslim commissioner. The maximum number of Bangladeshi infiltrators were made voters in Jharkhand’s Santhalpargana during your tenure,” the BJP leader alleged. ...

BJP MP’s remarks on ‘jewish ally of Prophet’ revive historical puzzle: who was Rabbi Mukhayriq

New Delhi: The concept of waqf (the Islamic practice of charitable endowments) has long ignited political, religious, and historical debates in India. The latest catalyst was The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which received the assent of the President of India Sunday after its passage in both Houses of Parliament last week. It was during the discussion on the legislation in the Lok Sabha that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Jharkhand’s Godda Nishikant Dubey said Rabbi Mukhayriq, a Jewish scholar who is believed to have fought alongside the Prophet Muhammad in the Battle of Uhud in 625 CE, was the first to dedicate his orchard as waqf to the Prophet. The claim added an unexpected interfaith dimension to the ongoing discourse on waqf. Show Full Article “Waq...
