मुंबई। वक्फ संशोधन बिल को लेकर देश का आम मुसलमान प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी के साथ खड़ा है। यह कहना है भाजपा अल्पसंख्यक मोर्चा के महाराष्ट्र उपाध्यक्ष एसएम खान का। उन्होंने कहा कि नए संशोधन बिल से अब तक हाशिए पर रहे गरीब और पिछड़े मुसलमानों को लाभ मिलेगा।
पत्रकारों से बात करते हुए एसएम खान ने कहा कि कुछ लोग मुसलमानों को गुमराह करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं और इस बिल को लेकर भ्रामक बातें फैला रहे हैं कि इससे उनका नुकसान होगा, जबकि हकीकत इसके ठीक उलट है।
उन्होंने कहा कि मोदी सरकार मुसलमानों का भला चाहती है और उन्हें गरीबी के दलदल से निकालकर तरक्की की राह पर लाना चाहती है। प्रधानमंत्री “सबका साथ, सबका विकास और सबका विश्वास” की भावना से काम कर रहे हैं और मुसलमानों को हर क्षेत्र में आगे बढ़ता देखना चाहते हैं।
कांग्रेस पर हमला बोलते हुए खान ने कहा कि कांग्रेस ने हमेशा मुसलमानों को केवल वोट बैंक की तरह इस्तेमाल किया। वक्फ बोर्ड के नाम पर 50 सालों से मुसलमानों को गुमराह किया गया और अब जब उनकी “लूट की दुकान” बंद हो रही है, तो वे शोर मचा रहे हैं।
उन्होंने कहा कि इस नए बदलाव से गरीब और पिछड़े मुसलमानों के साथ-साथ मुस्लिम महिलाओं को भी बड़ा फायदा होगा। सच्चर कमेटी की रिपोर्ट को कांग्रेस ने जानबूझकर लागू नहीं किया ताकि मुसलमान आगे न बढ़ सकें।
खान ने कहा कि देश का मुसलमान अब जाग चुका है और उसे प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी पर पूरा भरोसा है।
देश के मुसलमानों को प्रधानमंत्री मोदी पर पूरा भरोसा – एसएम खान

The Rajasthani culture, the people there, the expressions on their faces, their colorful attire, when they come out of their shells onto the canvas, captivates the mind. Looking at Rajasthan depicted through the eyes of a Marathi artist, one begins to feel the respectful nod given by Maharashtra’s culture to Rajasthani culture.
Santaji Chougale – Kolhapur

His works in bronze showcases the unique aesthetic norms and nuances associated with a peacock in its happy and joyful mood and enjoyment due to rains and the continuous downpour in rainy season. It also illustrates the elegance of joy and happiness expressed by the peacock in its joyous mood full of happiness and merriment. The sculptor seems to have created it relatively. The peacock’s spread plumage, its vastness, binds the eye somewhere. The peacock’s sharpness and the rhythmic connection in that sharpness are presented relatively by the artist. Overall, through this series of sculptures, the artist seems to have succeeded in expressing his personal feelings about Peacock to art lovers.

She acted in actor Manoj Kumar’s TV series “Kahan Gaye Wo Log”, Bhojpuri film “Hamar Dulha”. She is multi-talented, so she kept paying attention to the nuances of story, script and direction along with acting, then she started directing stories written by herself. In this way she came into writing and direction. Dr. Ravikala Gupta is an expert in classical dance Bharatnatyam. Currently she is working on her script and soon she will also shoot it on camera. The story of her film Token of Treasure is a comedy drama which is threaded in the dreams and boundaries of a middle class family. Dr. Ravikala Gupta says that she likes making films based on real events, political and social thrillers and current events. At the same time she says that film is a means of entertainment, you should not try to adopt the story, dialogue or scene of every film in your real life. Enjoy entertainment and be happy. Because film can be a mirror of life but not life. Regarding the films being made in the present time, she says that the films of today are misleading the young generation. The scenes, dialogues and the images of the actors shown on the screen are misleading the youth. Today we cannot watch most of the films with our family on TV or in theatres. In the blind race of modernity, man has left humanity and culture behind. Dr. Ravikala Gupta has made her daughter Khushi Gupta study law and has given her a chance in her films respecting her desire to act. She told that an actor is bound by the limits of his character and a director lives the entire character. He is the pilot of a ship who is responsible for building it, decorating it, who will do what work there, in which direction the ship will go.
