New Delhi: An ecosystem through an orchestrated narrative is trying to hurt India, said Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday at Network18’s Rising India 2023 Summit. Attacking India’s legitimacy as a nation-state, its constitutional institutions, including the Parliament, is becoming a favourite pastime for some, he added. “This ecosystem to combat India’s growth trajectory must not be allowed to go unnoticed. And that can only happen when we react,” said Dhankhar. In a statement apparently aimed towards Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the Vice President also condemned those who go to foreign countries and use platforms there to attack India. At a time when there is a perception shared by some of a brewing confrontation between the central government and the judiciary, Dhankhar said, “We are proud of our Supreme Court. Where on the planet will you get a Supreme Court that will act with lightning speed and grant relief when someone is accused of defamation…Where will you get a ...

New Delhi: Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said the CBI was “putting pressure” on him to “frame” Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an alleged fake encounter case in Gujarat when he was being questioned by the probe agency during the Congress-led UPA government. Speaking at the ‘News 18 Rising India’ programme in the capital, Shah said, “The CBI was putting pressure on me to frame Modi ji (when he was Gujarat CM) in an alleged fake encounter case during the Congress government.” However, the BJP never raised a ruckus, he added. On Rahul Gandhi’s conviction in a criminal defamation case by a court in Surat, the home minister questioned the ex-party chief’s “arrogance” in not appealing in court against the judgment and said that he has been trying to create hue and cry over the episode and blaming PM Modi for his fate. Reminding the Grand Old Party about Rahul Gandhi’s 2013 act, Shah said Gandhi would have been saved if he had not torn the ordinance on disqualification of MPs. “T...
