Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) working president J P Nadda on Sunday said that the elections in Jammu and Kashmir would be held only after the delimitation of the constituencies.

"Jammu and Kashmir has been given the status of a Union Territory but it will also have a legislature. Elections will be held. But before that, there will be delimitation of constituencies. Scheduled Tribes seats will also be reserved for Gujjars and Bakarwals," said Nadda.

The BJP working president made this statement while addressing a public gathering here.

He said the Article 370 was the mistake of the first Prime Minister of India Jawahar Lal Nehru.

"Pakistan tried to raise the issue in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) but diplomats of over 100 countries supported India's stand that Jammu and Kashmir is an internal issue of the country and will remain so," Nadda added.

Last month, the Centre nullified the provision of Article 370, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated it into two Union Territories -- Ladakh, and Jammu and Kashmir.&nbsp;

As many as 210 people were moved into relief camps near Ganganagar village in the district after water burst into a few villages as rivers continue to swell owing to heavy rainfall in the region.

"The administration is keeping an eye on the situation. So far, as many as 210 people have been moved into relief camps. We will set up more camps if needed. Arrangements for boats in low lying areas have also been made," an official said on Sunday.

According to the people in the relief camps, proper arrangements have been made for the stay but there are still some problems.

"There is waist-deep water in our village so we were forced to move into this camp in Balmiki School. The administration, however, has made proper food and medical arrangements. A doctor also visited the camp earlier today," said a local Firoz Khan who is in the relief camp.

Another local in the camp, Sugni Devi, however, said that lack of sanitation in toilets and power outages are causing some problems.

Incessant rains have led to a flood-like situation in the district with villages near the bank of Ganga river partially submerged in water.&nbsp;

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday gave a stern warning to Pakistan stating that it will break into several parts if it does not stop supporting terrorism.

"In 1971, Pakistan which was formed on the basis of religion was divided into two parts. If politics based on religion goes on in Pakistan, no one can prevent it from getting divided into several parts...If Pakistan does not stop supporting terrorism then it cannot be denied that it will break into several parts in future", he said here.

The Defence Minister made these remarks while addressing an event of Bharatiya Veer Jawan Trust in Surat where families of soldiers who lost their lives in line of duty were felicitated.

Reiterating India's firm stand on Jammu and Kashmir, Singh also affirmed that talk between India and Pakistan can happen only on Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).

"I have clearly stated that if talks take place between India and Pakistan, then it will be on Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK)," he said.

The Defence Minister also outlined India's firm belief in humanity and justice and said, "I want to say to Pakistan that India was divided on the basis of religion during the partition and it was made possible by those who made Pakistan and have the ideology to do politics of religion. India does not believe in the politics of caste and religion. It believes in humanity and justice."

Asserting that Pakistan did not like the development and progress of India, he said, "Article 370 was abrogated but Pakistan did not digest it well. It went to the United Nations and started lying to deceive the international organisation. Pakistan is talking about human Rights Commission when it could not protect minorities in its own land."

Singh continued, "Human Rights violations are taking place in Pakistan. It is taking place against Baloch people, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists. Pakistan is trying to defame India by talking about human rights at the international organisation. But nobody agrees with Pakistan."

On Friday, Union Minister Ramdas Athawale had also said that Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan should hand over the portion of Kashmir (PoK) to India, which it has occupied illegally if it wanted to hold talks with India.Earlier this week, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideologue Indresh Kumar had also said that Pakistan is getting weaker "day-by-day" and is headed towards another partition - this time into five-six parts.&nbsp;

In a bid to overthrow Trinamool Congress government (TMC), Bhartiya Janata Party has prepared a plan to win more than 200 seats in West Bengal in the assembly elections slated to be held in 2021.

According to a party source, Home minister Amit shah met Bengal state BJP leaders over the last few days and has decided to form a team of four members on every seat which will include MPs, MLAs and local organisational heads.

"Also, the leader selected for a particular seat will have no past connection with that constituency. For instance, if someone is from Howrah seat, then they will be selected for the Darjeeling seat. Reason for doing so is that the team can prepare fair reports," the source adds.

The teams have also been tasked to prepare a report for each area to see if there is any groupism in the party in order to neutralize it before the elections.

All the teams will start work from October 8 and the leaders will be in their appointed constituency to observe the current situation closely and prepare a concrete report, the source added.

"Reports will be submitted by the BJP core group of Bengal and not by individual leaders. The reports will be discussed with Home Minister Amit shah in the 1st week of November," the source said.

In 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP won 18 seats against just 6 seats in 2014. After the party's massive win, a lot of TMC local leaders have joined BJP.

BJP is also eying 90 seats in the state which have a majority of the minority vote bank and a special plan for the above-mentioned seats is also under the works.

The party will also start a programme to spread awareness about the significance of National Register of Citizens, the source added.

Also from 15th October till the State elections, the BJP cadets will be protesting from Block to state-level on various issues against the state government and the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's appeasement politics, the sources added.

"The Central government has given us 8 medical colleges this year alone, which is more than what has been given to any other state in the country. We are soon going to have 4,500 doctors in the state. This is the perfect time for development in the region, I would request the people to keep the pressure on their politicians. Union Home Minister Amit Shahji meeting sarpanch of the villages from the state is a sign that the Centre is standing there with open arms," Malik said.

He said that the upcoming cancer institute will prove to be very beneficial for the state's residents and recounted his own battle with the deadly disease.

"I did not want to come here, because I have personally battled cancer, although I think having a cancer institute is a big thing. But the reason I did not want to come here was because I lost my wife to cancer eight years ago, and I was with her at every step during the 11 years of her fight against the disease. I finally decided to come because this institute would give the people an opportunity to get cured," he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi told me to make Jammu and Kashmir so prosperous that the people of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) would want to come and settle here, said Governor Satya Pal Malik on Saturday.

At 70 where most are executing their retirement plans, this woman in Tamil Nadu with unmatchable grit is serving the poor.

Rani, runs an idli shop near Agni Tirtham in Rameswaram and serves free food to the needy.

Donning a bright smile on her face, she works relentlessly and earns her own livelihood.

Where she provides poor for free, she charges a minimum amount from the rest of her customers.

Rani owns at a makeshift shop at Rameswaram's Agni Thirtham seashore and uses the traditional wooden stove to prepares the food.

Assisted by a temporary labourer, she works throughout the year to serve idli at the cost Rs 30 in a city where, the residents say, a plate of idli costs at least Rs 60.

Speaking to ANI amid customers thronging her shop on a Sunday morning, Rani said people come to her shop only because she showers love on them and considers all as family.

"I do not have a proper shop what I have a temporary makeshift arrangement. People come to me only because of the love I shower on them. I never treat them as my customers rather I consider them as a member of my family," she said and added, "Although I am old, I earn my livelihood."

Rani said she still uses the traditional wooden stove to prepare her food because it is "economical".

Rakku, who works at her idli shop, said the shop provides temporary employment to her.

"I hail from a fisherman family. When we do not go to fishing, I work here," she told ANI.

She said that Rani does not insist on money if anyone is not able to pay for the food.

"So many people are our daily customers. We do not insist on the money. Even if anyone does not have money, you serve them the food and do not insist for payment," Rakku said.

Rani's roadside shop is famous amongst the locals and tourists alike.

"In Rameswaram, If you visit any hotel and have food, it will cost you at least Rs 60 but this shop offers food in just Rs 30. The most important thing is even on this age she works and maintains the old methods to prepare the food," Nagendran, a customer, told ANI.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday asserted that minorities in India were safe, are safe and will remain safe, adding that the country does not divide people on the basis of caste or religion.

Addressing an event of Bharatiya Veer Jawan Trust in Surat, Singh hit out at Pakistan saying that the country which is not able to provide security to the minorities on its soil, talks about the human rights.

"Pakistan, which isn't able to provide security to the minorities in its country, is talking about human rights. If human rights violations are taking place anywhere, it's in Pakistan. The minority in India was safe, is safe, and will remain safe," he said.

Singh also said while the population of minorities in India has increased after Independence, human rights violations keep taking place in Pakistan against Sikhs, Buddhists and others.

Asserting that Pakistan did not like the development and progress of India, he said, "Article 370 was abrogated but Pakistan did not digest it well. It went to the United Nations and started lying to deceive international organisation. Pakistan is talking about human Rights Commission when it could not protect minorities in its own land."

Singh continued, "Human Rights violations are taking place in Pakistan. It is taking place on Baloch people, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists. Pakistan is trying to defame India by talking about human rights at the international organisation. But nobody agrees with Pakistan."

Differentiating about the situation of minorities in India and Pakistan, Singh said," After partition, the population of minorities in Pakistan have ever since been falling but I can say with full confidence that the population of minorities in India has increased. Minorities have always been secure in India, they are and they will be in the future."

He added, "I want to say to Pakistan that India was divided on the basis of religion during the partition and it was made possible by those who made Pakistan and have the ideology to do politics of religion. India does not believe in the politics of caste and religion. It believes in humanity and justice."

The Defence Minister cautioned Pakistan saying, "In 1971, Pakistan which was formed on the basis of religion was divided into two parts. If politics based on religion carry on in Pakistan then no one can prevent it from getting divided into several parts... If Pakistan does not stop supporting terrorism then it cannot be denied that it will be divided into several parts."

"I have clearly stated that if talks take place between India and Pakistan, then it will be on Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK)," he said.

Cautioning Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, he said, "Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan in PoK said to his soldiers don't go to LoC till I ask you. I want to say that he gave good advice to his soldiers as our soldiers are waiting and those who cross the LoC will not be able to go back."

Singh's statement came days after Khan while speaking in Muzaffarabad, had urged the people of his country not to march toward the LoC until he asks them to."Looking at our security forces I can say with full confidence that no one can harm our country both from internally and externally," he added.&nbsp;

Former Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar sought more time to appear before CBI in connection with the Saradha chit fund scam on Saturday. Kumar, whose protection from custodial interrogation was withdrawn by the Calcutta High Court on Friday, was served another notice by the CBI to appear before them on Saturday at 10 am for questioning.

Former Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar sought more time to appear before CBI in connection with the Saradha chit fund scam on Saturday. Kumar, whose protection from custodial interrogation was withdrawn by the Calcutta High Court on Friday, was served another notice by the CBI to appear before them on Saturday at 10 am for questioning. However, Kumar skipped the summons and did not appear before CBI. Sources in the CBI claimed that Kumar sent an e-mail seeking more time to appear before them. "We have received an email where he was seeking more time. We cannot share what reason he has stated," said a source in the CBI. Kumar could not be reached for a comment as his phone remained switched off throughout the day. While on one hand, security was strengthened outside Kumar’s Kolkata residence – 34, Park Street, CBI officers are considering to take legal action against him. A team comprising Joint Director CBI, Pankaj Srivastava, Superintendent of Police, Partha Mukherjee and Deputy Superintendent of Police, Tathagata Vardhan held a meeting with the CBI counsel YJ Dastur at his South Kolkata house. Sources said that the CBI officers discussed what legal options could be explored against Kumar after he did not appear before the agency despite the summons. While leaving the CBI counsel’s residence, the Joint Director Pankaj Srivastava said, "We are studying the documents that we have. I cannot share much. Today, he has not appeared, let us see." Rajeev Kumar, who is currently the West Bengal CID Additional Director General, was part of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up by the state government to investigate the scam before the Supreme Court handed over the case to the CBI in 2014, along with other chit fund cases. The Saradha Chit Fund Scam is a multi crore-rupee scam, agencies say it would be around 2,000 crores but both investigating agencies, Enforcement Directorate and CBI are yet to conclude the exact amount of the chit fund scam. The scam duped lakhs of people in the state promising higher rates of returns on their investments.
