'Sources Claim Mizoram CM's US Speech Is Malicious Propaganda'

Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma's recent speech to the Mizo diaspora in the US has sparked controversy, with government sources claiming his comments were taken out of context to malign both the state and central governments. Speaking in Indianapolis on September 4, Lalduhoma expressed the aspiration of the Zo people for unity across borders, which some have interpreted as a separatist stance. However, officials maintain that his remarks were intended to emphasize cultural unity and the challenges faced by Mizoram amid regional instability and refugee crises. They argue that the term "nationhood" was misinterpreted and that Lalduhoma's loyalty to India is unquestionable. The Chief Minister's visit, which included discussions on geopolitical realities and support from the Indian government for handling the refugee situation, has been characterized as a call for solidarity rather than division. Legal action against those spreading misinformation is also being considered. sources

Love and Politics: Nitin Gadkari Highlights Sharad Pawar

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has dismissed allegations that the BJP engages in splitting rival parties, referencing veteran leader Sharad Pawar's past political maneuvers. In an exclusive NDTV interview, Gadkari remarked, "Everything is fair in love and politics," acknowledging that while Pawar is respected in Maharashtra, he historically disrupted other parties, including the Shiv Sena. The comments come ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections, where the BJP's performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections raised concerns, as the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi secured 30 of the 48 seats, leaving the ruling alliance with just 17. This electoral outcome reflected public discontent over political turmoil, including the Shiv Sena split and the subsequent realignment within the Nationalist Congress Party led by Ajit Pawar. The assembly elections are scheduled for November 20, with results to be announced on November 23. sources
