Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for what he termed "irresponsible politics" regarding allegations that India has lost territory to China. During a parliamentary debate, Gandhi claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's denial of Chinese incursions contradicts statements from Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, who he said acknowledged Chinese presence in Indian territory. Singh refuted these claims, asserting that the Army Chief's comments were misrepresented, emphasizing that they referred only to traditional patrolling disturbances, which have since been resolved. He further reminded Gandhi of the 38,000 square kilometers lost to China in Aksai Chin during the 1962 Sino-Indian conflict and the 5,180 square kilometers ceded by Pakistan to China in 1963, urging introspection on historical territorial issues. General Dwivedi also noted ongoing standoffs between India and China, highlighting the need for diplomatic discussions to address the situation.

Published: Mar 13 2025, 7 pmeznews.inIn a heated exchange, BJP Tamil Nadu President K Annamalai criticized the ruling DMK for replacing the rupee symbol in its budget promotional materials with the Tamil letter 'Ru'. He argued that the DMK, led by Chief Minister MK Stalin, is unaware that the rupee symbol was designed by Udaya Kumar, son of a former DMK MLA, and claimed this action disrespects Tamil culture. Annamalai emphasized that while 'Ru' is commonly used in Tamil, it should not replace the nationally accepted rupee symbol. He accused the DMK of escalating a "language war" against the central government, particularly regarding the contentious National Education Policy, which the DMK argues imposes Hindi on Tamil Nadu. In response, DMK leaders defended their decision as a promotion of Tamil, asserting that there is nothing illegal about it and dismissing the BJP's claims as unfounded.

This change comes amid ongoing tensions between the ruling DMK and the BJP-led central government over the National Education Policy's emphasis on Hindi, which the DMK opposes, advocating instead for the state's existing two-language policy. BJP leaders criticized the symbol swap, suggesting it reflects the DMK's desire to distance itself from national identity, with state spokesperson Narayanan Thirupathy accusing the party of distraction tactics. The BJP's K Annamalai and former Governor Tamilisai Soundarajan also condemned the decision, asserting it undermines national interests. The political backdrop includes an electoral battle ahead, with the DMK and AIADMK vying for power, while the BJP seeks to establish a foothold in Tamil Nadu.
