The Gujarat HC was hearing a petition filed by two members of the Baloch community that sought directions to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and the filmmakers to remove the contentious dialogue from the film as well as its promotions. Justice A P Mayee was hearing a petition filed by Yasin Allarakha Baloch as well as Ayub Balekhan Baloch – who identified himself as the member of a community Trust, on Wednesday, in which the petitioners have raised objection to a dialogue delivered in the film by a policeman character played by actor Sanjay Dutt.

Lalu Yadav defamed Bihar in India and abroad with fodder scam: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday launched a scathing attack on RJD chief Lalu Prasad, accusing him of defaming Bihar in India and abroad with the fodder scam.  Addressing a Cooperative Department event at Bapu Sabhagar in Patna, he asked, “What did Lalu Prasad do for the poor?” Stepping up the attack, the Union Minister said, “Lalu and Rabri governments will be remembered for jungleraj, lawlessness and corruption.” He also shared: “Under PM Awas Yojana, 40 lakh houses have been built, ensuring a better life for the people of Bihar.

The RJD government was riddled with scams…” The Union Cooperation Minister also highlighted the achievements of the NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar. “RJD`s `Jungle Raj` will be remembered as a dark period in the state`s history,” he said.

Delhi Environment Minister thanks people who gave firecrackers a miss; BJP claims AAP ‘defamed’ Sanatan community | Delhi News

Even as Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai thanked residents who gave firecrackers a miss on Diwali this year for relatively less pollution a day after the festival, the BJP Friday said the air quality index (AQI) shows that the AAP government’s “conspiracy to defame the Sanatan tradition of lighting firecrackers on Diwali in the name of pollution” had failed again. The city’s AQI levels had breached the 350-mark four days ago, with forecasts to the effect that this was expected to go beyond 400 the day after Diwali due to pollution caused by firecrackers. “But I want to thank the people of Delhi. Due to their efforts, AQI has stabilised at 360.

He further appealed to BJP-ruled states neighbouring Delhi to enforce …
