BJP looks for youth to debate in favour of Emergency for ‘mock parliament'
Lucknow: Imagine a BJP functionary urging youth to speak in favour of the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi in 1975. Surprised? But that's what the saffron outfit plans to do as it gears up to organise a 'mock parliament' in nine districts to mark 50 years of the Emergency between June 25 and June 27. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Though the BJP describes it as a "black chapter" in the history of Indian democracy, the party is looking for at least 7,000 youths who can stir up a debate by speaking in favour of the Emergency, which was imposed by Gandhi for 21 months — between June 25, 1975, and March 21, 1977 — citing a breakdown of the law and order situation in the country owing to massive protests by the opposition parties alleging corruption by the Congress regime. "Since it is a mock parliament, we have decided to enrol at least 40% of the youth who can speak in favour of the topic. This would serve the purpose of striking a balance during the event," UP BJP yuva morcha's state general secretary and in charge of the campaign, Varun Goyal told TOI. The BJP has decided to register at least 18,000 youths in the 18-25 age group for the event, which will see a clash of pro and anti-Emergency views. These youths will be screened by a committee of the BJP yuva morcha, and at least 80-100 people will be shortlisted for each of the nine districts — Meerut, Jhansi, Kanpur, Lucknow, Prayagraj, Gorakhpur, Ghaziabad, Aligarh and Bareilly — where the event will be organised. However, Goyal said, the party is not able to get that many youths who can speak in favour of the Emergency. "We are somehow convincing a host of them to do so," he said, asserting that most of the youth want to speak against Gandhi's decision to impose the Emergency. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Goyal said that the idea of the event was to make people aware of how Congress strangled democracy. He said that today's youth was guided by the present-day political dispensation, which sought to inculcate the feeling of nationalism and democracy. Analysts believe that encouraging youth to argue for the Emergency may well be part of a mock exercise where debating controversial topics from all sides fosters critical thinking and rhetorical skill. Nevertheless, experts said, by inviting young people to argue in favour of the Emergency, the BJP aims to ultimately discredit those arguments by confronting them head-on with counterpoints. This can also provide the BJP with harder ammunition to further criticise Congress while letting those arguments hang in public only to get them torn down with stronger rebuttals, say analysts.

What is Turkey planning to do with Iran? Invites air force of this country amid Israel Iran war, the country is...
New Delhi: Turkey seems to be ahead of Pakistan in duplicity. Just as on one hand Pakistan talks about standing with Iran and on the other hand Army Chief Asim Munir meets Trump, something similar is being seen on the issue of Turkey. Turkey is currently hosting the summit of the Organization of Muslim Countries (OIC), in which the biggest issue is going to be the Iran Israel war and Palestine. But Turkey is also going to conduct war exercises with Israel's closest friend and ally, the United States. Joint military exercise The US Defense Department's media service said that the US will join NATO allies in the multinational air force exercise organized by Turkey/Turkiye from June 23 to July 4. Fighter jets of the US 31st Fighter Wing stationed at Aviano Airbase in Italy will take part in the 'Anatolian Eagle 25' drill, which will be held at the third main jet base in the central Turkish city of Konya. The USA is already increasing its presence in the Middle East and is likely preparing to attack Iran if any situation arises. In such a situation, Turkey's invitation to the US army for war exercises on its land can become a cause of concern for Iran because America can take advantage of this to attack Iran. Advantage for America Not only America but the air forces of many countries are participating in this drill, the purpose of this drill is to improve operational coordination through joint combat training in realistic conditions. Brigadier General Tad D. Clark, commander of the 31st Fighter Wing, said that the exercises provide 'real high-level training and strengthen the ability of allied forces to work together.' This exercise is taking place at a time when instability remains in the Middle East, the Israel-Iran conflict is in its second week and there is a fear of it spreading to neighbouring areas. Turkey pushing Syria back At present, the Israeli Air Force is attacking Iran using Syria's airspace. Syria has a Turkish-backed Al Sharaa government. According to reports, Turkey has instructed Syria to stay away from the Israel-Iran war. In such a situation, questions are being raised on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan whether he really wants to become the leader of Muslims or has some other agenda.
