Tejashwi Calls Slain Gangster ‘Atiqji’, Draws Union Minister’s Ire

By LokMarg

Union Power Minister R K Singh on Monday slammed Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav for addressing the slain gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed as “Atiq Ji” and said that the RJD leader is shedding tears for a dreaded ganglord who was facing over 100 criminal charges.

While speaking to ANI, Union Minister Singh said that Tejashwi Yadav is Deputy Chief Minister but he addressed Atiq Ahmed as “Atiq ji” who had more than 100 cases of murder, kidnapping, and extortion against him.
Referring to the ex-MP, the Union Minister said, “Whoever was a witness, he used to kill or kidnap his family so that he won’t testify against him. He was involved in Umesh Pal’s killing. For whom are these people [Tejashwi Yadav] crying? A man who has more than 100 criminal cases against him? He confessed he had a connection with the proscribed terror outfit Lashkar e Taiba (LeT).”

Earlier in the day, Yadav termed the killing of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf, “scripted”.

“I have no sympathies for crime or criminals. But there is a law and a Constitution to eliminate crime in the country. We have seen in this country that the killers of the former Prime Minister have undergone trials and were punished. Whatever happened in UP, Toh Aap Dekhein Ye Atiq Ji ka Janaza Nahin, Kanoon Ka Janaza Nikla Tha (It was not the funeral of Atiq ji, but the funeral of the law),” Yadav had said.

Union Minister Singh further said that people have made Yogi Adityanath as chief minister with a huge mandate. “Now a dreaded criminal, who is related to ISI and LeT, that dreaded criminal has been killed in a gang war and they are shedding tears for him because they think that by doing this, their minority votebank will become stronger,” he added.

He also lashed out at the opposition leaders for rallying in support of the gangster and said, “You people (opposition leaders) are going to be extinct.

“It is absolutely a vote bank politics. It is a bit tragic that a criminal who has a connection with LeT is killed in a gang war and people are shedding tears over the incident,” he said, adding that those who sprayed bullets upon him were also caught.

On Sunday the three shooters– Arun Maurya, Sunny Singh and Lovelesh Tiwari– involved in the killings have been sent to 14-day judicial custody by the district court.

Atiq Ahmed was accused in the 2005 Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLA Raju Pal murder case and also in the case of murder of Umesh Pal which happened in February this year. (ANI)

Rahul After Meeting Nitish

Historic Step For Oppn Unity: Rahul After Meeting Nitish, Tejashwi

By LokMarg

With Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav meeting him and Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge as part of efforts to forge a common front against the BJP, Rahul Gandhi said on Wednesday that it was a “historic step” towards opposition unity and for an ideological fight.

Rahul Gandhi, who posted a picture of Kharge and him with JD-U and RJD leaders, said they are “standing together, will fight together – for India.”
“In this battle of ideology, a historic step has been taken today towards opposition unity. (We are) standing together, will fight together – for India!” Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet.

Janata Dal-United president Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh was also present at the meeting held at Kharge’s residence.

The meeting is being seen as an attempt by Congress and other opposition parties to take forward their “unity” displayed during the budget session of Parliament session that concluded on April 6. The session saw continuous disruptions over the opposition’s demand for a JPC probe into the Hindenburg-Adani row. The opposition parties also slammed the government over disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from Lok Sabha following his conviction by a Surat court in a criminal defamation case.

Kharge had earlier this month telephoned Nitish Kumar, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in an effort to build on “unity” displayed during the budget session of Parliament.

Opposition leaders have in the past made efforts to forge a broad unity to take on the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

Congress is a junior part of the ruling Mahagathbandhan in Bihar which also includes JD-U and Rashtriya Janata Dal. While Nitish Kumar leads the government, Tejashwi Yadav is the state Deputy Chief Minister. (ANI)
