Bjp Leader Shashi Modi Attacked

A BJP leader was seriously injured after unknown persons attacked him with a blunt object in Bhagalpur district, hours after another local party leader was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Patna, police said.

The United Nation Security Council's decision to list Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist created a flurry in political circles today, with those from the ruling BJP laying the credit at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's door and opposition leaders preferring to praise the efforts of Indian diplomats instead.

Congress lawmaker Shashi Tharoor on Sunday said that Swami Vivekananda, the 19th century spiritual leader who took Indian philosophy to the West, would face violent attacks for endorsing humanity in present day India as he took on the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.

At a time when the BJP's top leaders are under attack for extending hefty favours to corruption-tainted cricket boss Lalit Modi, a party spokesperson has accused Congress chief Sonia Gandhi of launching "witch-hunt" against the controversial entrepreneur to protect her party's Shashi Tharoor, a minister in the previous Congress-led government.
