Free Flow Of Thoughts Important To Avoid Religious Conflicts: Ajit Doval

New Delhi: Free flow of thoughts is important to avoid conflicts linked to religious identities, National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval said on Sunday. Stressing the need to focus on conflict resolution, he also observed that “introspection” by states and societies has always been important.

Congress, BJP responsible for rising man-animal conflicts: Kerala CM

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that the escalating man-animal conflicts in the State cannot be addressed without amending the Wildlife Protection Act, and if anyone has to be blamed for the situation, it should be the Congress and the BJP. Opening the LDF Kannur Lok Sabha constituency convention and election committee office at the collectorate ground here on Thursday, Mr. Vijayan said the State alone could not be held responsible for the situation. “The State has no right to amend a Central law.
