tributes to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, a key party ideologue, on his death anniversary, saying he showed the path to take the country forward by keeping the Indian culture and heritage at its centre.

Goa, Delhi’s favourite holiday destination, with criminals using a north Indian restaurant as cover, seems perfect for the portly private eye. Delhi Police’s Economic Offences Wing, which carried out this real-life operation last August, must have had no problem getting volunteers. All they knew was that the targets, a couple accused of embezzling more than Rs 4 crore, had taken cover running a restaurant in North Goa with ‘Rasoi’ in its name. So, to apprehend the criminals, the team booked into a hotel and ordered from every restaurant with Rasoi in its name. We’re told that the orders were lavish — shahi paneer and naan are mentioned, but there must have been much more — presumably to ensure the restaurant delivered directly, rather than through a delivery app. They then followed the delivery guy back and finally, on the fifth order, hit gold at a restaurant named Aunty ki Rasoi.

BJP Chief JP Nadda underlined in the Rajya Sabha during the debate on construction of the Ram temple and its consecration on Saturday that those alleging that it was a party event are mistaken as the ceremony was performed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and no leader from his organisation was present. Those who had avoided the program appear to be in the “neither here nor there” category. The discussion on the resolution moved by BJP member Sudhanshu Trivedi saw the participation of members from different parties, with some charging that while Lord Ram belongs to and is revered by everybody the ruling party has politicised the issue for its own electoral benefit. The Opposition alleged that attempts have been made all along to use the issue to create fissures. Nadda and Leader of the House Piyush Goyal, as well as other BJP members, heaped praise on Modi for the whole movement. “We (BJP) had decided in our Palampur conclave in 1989 that we will clear the way for the construction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya but some people tried to create roadblocks,” Nadda said, adding that as president of the BJP youth wing he was witness to and suffered the police action, jail, and other hardships along with other supporters.
