Prime Minister @narendramodi ji, please clarify your position on the removal of female journalists from the press conference of the representative of the Taliban on his visit to India.

If your recognition of women’s rights isn’t just convenient posturing from one election to…

What did Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Kumar Jha say?

Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Kumar Jha said the move has not only affected India’s moral and diplomatic standing, but is also a serious blow to India’s long-standing commitment to press freedom, gender justice and equality.

Manoj Kumar Jha said, “This is not just a formal lapse, but a symbolic compromise of India’s long-standing commitments to equality and women’s participation. This incident is disappointing and politically blind for the world’s largest democratic power and a country that promotes women’s participation.”

She also said that such a move sends a wrong message to Indian women and the global community that convenience and immediate benefits can be given priority over principles.

What was the matter?

Let us tell you that no female journalist was allowed to attend the press conference held on Friday, after which this policy of Taliban was sharply criticized on social media. Many journalists and social media users gave their reaction on this matter.

Mumbai Comedian: In the case of standup comedian Kunal Kamra, Shiv Sena leader Manisha Kayande has claimed that he has also abused the video and if needed, the party will also adopt a legal way against him. Manisha has alleged that there are some people behind Kunal Kamra, at the behest of which he is doing all this. All those people have been exposed on Monday.

Kamra clearly refused to apologize

Kunal Kamra commented against him without naming Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in a show. Shiv Sainiks have been enraged since this video. Comedian’s studio was also vandalized. After this, there were speculations that he would pacify the matter by apologizing, but it did not happen. According to a statement, Kamra has refused to apologize. However, he has said that he is ready to cooperate in the police interrogation.

No right to use derogatory language- Shiv Sena

Reacting to this, Shiv Sena leader Manisha Kayende told IANS, “We will take the matter forward in every way. If needed, we will do it legally. Whatever methods will be needed, we will move forward because the constitution does not give anyone the right to use the derogatory language. You will see the video of Kunal Kamra carefully, we know that we also give us the abuse. Abuse anyone?

Honor each other’s festivals- Manisha

On the demand of BJP MLA Ravi Negi to close meat shops on Navratri, Shiv Sena leader Manisha Kayande said that every person has his own thinking. It is not necessary that everyone talk about it. We all live together. In our country, where people of different castes and religions live together, we respect each other’s festivals and traditions. I do not think such demand should be implemented in Maharashtra, because it will increase fights. We all should respect each other’s festival.
