Congress divided the country in such a way that Kartarpur Sahib remained in Pakistan - Prime Minister Modi

In his first election rally in Punjab today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned India-Pakistan partition and said that for 70 years we had to see Sri Kartar Sahib through binoculars. During the address, PM Modi alleged that the Congress divided the country in the greed for power. He said that the Congress made such a division that India's (Punjab) Sri Kartarpur Sahib remained in Pakistan. He said that in 1971 there was an Indo-Pakistani war, in which more than 90,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered and if they were in power, they would have taken Kartarpur Sahib before leaving the Pakistan

Mayawati will hold an election rally for Jasvir Singh Garhi from Sri Anandpur Sahib seat

BSP supremo Kumari Mayawati will hold an election rally for BSP candidate and party state president Jasvir Singh Garhi from Sri Anandpur Sahib seat in Nawanshahr of Punjab tomorrow. This will be his 6th visit to the new city. Before this, he had come to New City in 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections and 2012, 2016, 2022 assembly elections. There are many reasons behind Mayawati giving priority to Nawanshahr every time, including the party's mass base in Doaba and one of the reasons is that at present the only MLA of BSP in Punjab is from Nawanshahr.

Minister expected to table bill to extend citizenship rights to children born abroad

Immigration Minister Marc Miller is expected to table legislation today that would extend citizenship to some children born outside of the country. In 2009, the Conservative government changed the law so that Canadian parents who were born abroad could not pass down their citizenship unless their child was born in Canada. Amendments to the Citizenship Act in 1977 and 2009 also stripped thousands of people who were born abroad of their Canadian citizenship. Those who've not had access to citizenship rights as a result of the amendments are known as "Lost Canadians." Last year, the Ontario Super
