Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Bhagwant Mann on Monday said that voters in Delhi will vote for 'Vikas' (development) and not for 'Vinash' (destruction) in the ensuing assembly elections.

"The statement of Yogi Adityanath (Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister) on 'Kanwariyas' is a part of hatred politics of the BJP," Mann told ANI, adding that politics of polarisation is not good for Delhi.

"People in Delhi have decided that they will vote for 'Vikas' and not 'Vinash'. AAP has requested the Election Commission to put a ban on Adityanath from campaigning," he added.

On being asked whether there will any impact as Prime Minister Narendra Modi will campaign for BJP today, Mann said, "I don't understand why they have not called (US President Donald) Trump.

Modi ji had gone (to the US) and said, 'Abki Baar Trump sarkar'."

Polling on 70 Assembly seats of Delhi will be held on February 8 and the counting of votes will take place on February 11.

Migrant advocates urge federal government to withdraw proposed border security law

Migrant rights organizations are urging the federal government to abandon Bill C-12, legislation they warn could severely limit access to Canada’s refugee system. The proposed border security bill is currently before House of Commons committees, with clause-by-clause review scheduled at the national security committee this week. The bill features several significant changes to immigration and asylum procedures, including a provision that would prevent people who have lived in Canada for more than a year from submitting a refugee claim to the Immigration and Refugee Board.

Search continues for grizzly after Bella Coola school group attacked, Nuxalk Nation raises support funds

British Columbia conservation officers say they are continuing to search the Bella Coola Valley for the grizzly bear involved in a sudden attack on an elementary school group last week. Three students and a teacher were hospitalized on Thursday after the bear charged a group of about 20 people who had stopped for lunch during a field trip. Officials now believe the incident likely involved a mother grizzly with two cubs, a situation that can increase defensive behaviour. Conservation officers have placed traps in the area and are urging residents and visitors to avoid nearby forested trails wh
