Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on the 71st Independence Day from the ramparts of the historic Red Fort. The PM concluded his speech with chants of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai ... Vande Mataram ... Jai Hind!” Here are 25 attractive points from the PM’s I-Day speech:

1.    In the five years from our 70th year of Independence to the 75th year of Independence, let's pledge to work together to bring this change.

2.    We will create an India where the poor owns a house and has access to electricity and water. An India, where the farmer sleeps in peace and grows his income two-fold by 2022. An India, where the young women get opportunities in every field. An India, which is free of terrorism, corruption, dynasty politics, communalism and casteism. And finally, an India which is clean and healthy. Let's move together in this path of development.

3.    We are taking the nation on a new track (of development) and are moving ahead with speed.

4.    We are fighting corruption - for the bright future of India and the wellbeing of our people.

5.    We are devoting significant attention to eastern India - Bihar, Assam, West Bengal, Odisha and the Northeast. These areas have to grow further.

6.    Corruption will not be tolerated in the country. Everyone will be answerable

7.    Black money worth Rs 2 lakh crore was recovered post demonetization. We have also cancelled the registration of as many as 1.75 lakh companies.

8.    We will not tolerate violence in the name of faith. Before freedom, the slogan was 'Bharat chhodo (Quit India). Today, it should be 'Bharat Jodo' (Bring India together).

9.    I want to mention those women who have to suffer due to 'Tripe Talaq'- I admire their courage. We are with them in their struggles.

10.    We are nurturing our youngsters to be job creators and not job seekers.

11.    We will continue our fight against black money, corruption and use technology to bring in more transparency.

12.    Neither gaali (abuse), nor goli (bullet) will bring a change. The change will take place when we embrace every Kashmiri.

13.    There is no question of being soft on terrorism or terrorists.

14.    India's stature in the world is rising. The world is with us in fighting the menace of terror. I thank all nations helping us doing so.

15.    GST has shown the spirit of cooperative federalism. The nation has come together to support GST & the role of technology has also helped.

16.    Those who have looted the nation and looted the poor are not able to sleep peacefully today.

17.    We have to leave this 'Chalta Hai' attitude. We have to think of 'Badal Sakta Hai'- this attitude will help us as a nation.

18.    In our nation, no one is big or small...everybody is equal. Together we can bring a positive change in the nation.

19.    1st January 2018 will not be an ordinary day- those born in this century will start turning 18. They are Bhagya Vidhatas of our nation.

20.    Our country showcased a collective power between 1942 to 1947, let us show the same power and commitment over the next 5 years.

21.    We have to take the country ahead with the determination of creating a 'New India'.

22.    2017 is a special year - this year we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of Quit India, 100th anniversary of Champaran Satyagraha and 125th anniversary of Ganesh Utsav.

23.    People of India stand shoulder to shoulder with those affected due to natural disasters and the tragedy in Gorakhpur.

24.    We remember the great women and men who worked hard for India's freedom.

25.    From Sudarshan Chakradhari Mohan to Charkhadhari Mohan, today we are celebrating both our cultural and historical heritage.

Comments

Yes. To get rid of terrorism, stop poking nose into things that don't concern your country. Actually, this "terrorism" is a thing created to diver people's attention from real priorities. 

 

India as nation first? -India was formed only in 1947. Religion and culture existed since the time human civilization existed. Before 1947 India included pakistan and bngladesh. and before the british, we had kingdoms within today's Inida, ruled by mughals, marathas, cholas, nawabs, nayaks. With the way these morons are imposing culture and forcing religion on people, I don't this idea of unified nation will last long.

Udupi, Nov 11: A traveller reportedly lost ₹4.1 lakh after attempting to book a cab online in Udupi. 

At around 1:30 PM on November 7, the man from West Bengal searched for car rentals on Google and selected a website named "Shakti Car Rentals." Shortly after, he was contacted by someone claiming to be "Rohit Sharma," who directed him to pay a registration fee of ₹150 on the site.

After unsuccessful payment attempts via both his Canara Bank debit card and SBI credit card (without receiving an OTP), "Rohit Sharma" instructed him to pay the driver directly. But at 1:47 PM, he received messages showing deductions of ₹3.3 lakh from his SBI credit card and ₹80,056 from his Canara Bank debit card, totaling ₹4.1 lakh.

The complainant alleges fraud through a deceptive link disguised as a booking token fee. A case has been registered at Udupi Town Police Station.

The Karnataka Police’s Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) achieved a major breakthrough on Monday night by eliminating Vikram Gowda, one of Karnataka’s most wanted Naxal leaders for over two decades. The encounter occurred in the dense Kabbinale forest of Udupi district, marking a significant victory against Naxal insurgency in the region.

Who Was Vikram Gowda?

Hailing from Hebri in Udupi, Vikram Gowda, 44, was a prominent figure in the Naxal movement. He went underground in 2002, initially serving as a courier and fund collector before rising to lead a breakaway Naxal group. Despite having only a fourth-grade education, he was a staunch advocate for tribal rights and a key player in the movement’s survival in Karnataka.

Bounty: ₹3 lakh from Karnataka and ₹50,000 from Kerala.

Legacy: The last major Naxal leader in Karnataka after the 2021 arrest of B G Krishnamurthy.

The Encounter

Police revealed that Gowda and his team visited Kabbinale village to collect groceries on Monday night. Acting on a tip-off, ANF ambushed the group. When the Naxals opened fire, ANF responded, leading to Gowda's death.

Escapees: Three Naxals fled, including prominent members Latha (aka Mundgaru Latha) and Raju.

Significance: This was the first Naxal casualty in Karnataka in over two decades.

Home Minister G. Parameshwara confirmed the operation, stating, “Gowda was elusive for 20 years, escaping multiple encounters. His death is a critical step in dismantling Naxal operations in the region.”

The Decline of Naxal Activity in Karnataka

Karnataka's Naxal movement has been dwindling, with members seeking refuge in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The group’s strength had reduced to just 19 members by 2018, but recent sightings indicate attempts at revival:

2023 Activity: Reports of Gowda-led movements in the Kodagu and Hassan districts reignited concerns.

Political Heat: The BJP criticised the Congress government, alleging it created a “safe haven” for Naxals.

A Glimpse into Gowda’s Past

Personal Life: Gowda’s ex-wife, Savitri (alias Rajita), was arrested in 2021. She was a senior Naxal commander involved in insurgency since 2004.
Rehabilitation Efforts: Since 2013, Karnataka’s rehabilitation policy has seen 14 Naxals surrender and reintegrate into mainstream society.

A Milestone in Karnataka’s Fight Against Insurgency

The operation signifies a decisive blow to Naxal resurgence in the Western Ghats. While the ANF continues its search for escapees, the Karnataka government reaffirmed its commitment to offering rehabilitation to those willing to surrender.

As Karnataka celebrates this triumph, the message is clear: there is no room for insurgency in the state.

Udupi, Nov 11: The Karkala town police in Udupi have arrested Krishna Naik, the sculptor responsible for installing a 33-foot Parashurama statue at Umikkal Hill in Bailur, Karkala taluk. 

Naik, the owner of Krish Art World and a resident of Bengaluru's Visvesvaraya Layout, was apprehended in Mahe, part of the Union Territory of Puducherry, for allegedly substituting a look-alike statue in place of a genuine bronze figure at the Parashurama Theme Park in Karkala.

Udupi Superintendent of Police Dr. Arun K confirmed the arrest, stating that Naik faces charges under Sections 420 (cheating) and 409 (criminal breach of trust) of the Indian Penal Code. 

This legal action followed a complaint lodged in June by Krishna Shetty, a resident of Nallur village, Karkala. Shetty claimed that Naik had received a payment of ₹1,25,50,000 from Udupi Nirmithi Kendra for the installation of a bronze Parashurama statue. However, Naik allegedly deceived the government by installing a replica instead.

The statue was unveiled on January 27, 2023, by then Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. Current Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has since ordered a CID investigation to probe deeper into the alleged fraud surrounding the statue's installation at the theme park.
