Colors were celebrated today all over the country. The main festival was celebrated in Mathura, Vrindavan and Barsana, the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Millions of people celebrated Holi in all the big cities of the country. In Gorakhpur, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took out a procession of Lord Narasimha. Yogi said, Sanatan Dharma is a symbol of truth and victory, there is no religion in the world that is full of diversities like Sanatan Dharma. Ramadan’s prayers were to be prayed in the whole of Uttar Pradesh today, along with Holi. In ten districts, mosques were covered with tarpaulin, so that no nuisance could throw color. Yogi appealed to those who celebrate Holi in a particular way to take restraint while putting color on others. Yogi’s appeal worked. Yogi said that Holi is a festival to increase mutual brotherhood, forget old differences, hug everyone. Yogi advised the people that Holi does not mean harm, discipline is also necessary in the fun of Holi, if someone is ill or does not want to play Holi for any other reason, then no one should be forced.
The administration was on alert in the entire state. In the Sambhal, the color gulal blew up. Holi was celebrated at Karthikeya Mahadev Temple after 46 years there. After the death of more than 200 people in the 1978 riots, Hindus migrated from that area and now four decades later Holi was celebrated in this temple. In the Aligarh Muslim University, students celebrated Holi for the first time. The second Zuma and Holi of Ramadan were covered with mosques in all the cities of UP, such as Bareilly, Shahjahanpur, Barabanki, Moradabad and Banaras. Holi is not just a festival of colors. This is a festival of friendship by forgetting mutual hatred. The old enemies are a festival to forget and embrace everyone. Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav greeted everyone on Holi. Said that Holi is a festival of harmony, a festival of brotherhood but he alleged that BJP wants to share people, wants to fight among themselves, so she is spreading hatred against Muslims. On the occasion of Holi, it would have been better if political leaders would not have done this festival of colors political.
Rupee Icon: Designer Tamilian, Award Tamilian
The budget of the Tamil Nadu government appeared in the Assembly today. In the budget papers, the Stalin government issued a Tamil letter instead of the symbol of Rs. The symbol of the rupee was released by the Government of India in 2010. The symbol was designed by IIT Professor Uday Kumar Dharmahalingam of Tamil Nadu, who is the son of a former DMK MLA. After using the symbol of the rupee for so many years, now the Stalin government has suddenly made a symbol of rupee in Tamil. It is considered to be the next step of Stalin’s language politics.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman wrote in her post on X that it is clearly an example of linguistic and provincial narrowism. Sitaraman reminded that in 2010, the rupee symbol was designed by a person from Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin raised the question of Rupee’s symbol, added Tamil to it and tried to make it an issue of Tamil pride. But while doing all this, he forgot to check the fact. The symbol of Rupee was designed by a Tamilian Udaya Kumar Dharmalingam and is the son of a former DMK MLA. Secondly, this symbol was adopted by the Government of India in 2010, when there was a Congress government at the Center and DMK government in Tamil Nadu. At that time, Stalin did not oppose it. Let me tell you another problem for Stalin. At the time when Dr. Udaya Kumar Dharmalingam’s design was finalized and he was honored for it, he was also a Tamilian who honored and he was Tamilian P. Chidambaram. That is why the Congress is still silent on this issue. (Rajat Sharma)
