National-level societies on organic products, exports to help farmers: Shah

The national-level multi-state cooperative societies recently approved by the Union Cabinet for promotion of organic products and exports, will help increase farmers' income manifold in the next 10 years, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah said here on Sunday. Shah, who was here to inaugurate the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) 'Kisan Bhavan', also made a strong pitch for the farmers to adopt natural farming, which he said will help increase their income and also protect the soil and environment from the harm caused by chemical fertilisers. "I assure you that the work started by (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi saheb will not just double but increase the income of every farmer many times in another 10 years. Only two cooperative societies for export and organic products will help increase farmers' income many times," he said.

Union minister Amit Shah urges youth not to abandon mother tongue

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday asked the youth never to abandon their mother tongue. Addressing the graduating students of the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda here at its 71st convocation, he also asked them to study the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020. "I would like to tell all degree-holders that do whatever in your life, but never abandon your mother tongue. Come out of this inferiority complex that (mastering a particular) language will give you acceptance," he said, speaking in Hindi. "Language is an expression and not a substance. There can be any language for expression. When a person thinks and conducts research and analysis in his mother language, the capacity for the same increases many times. Along with analysis, it increases his capacity for logic and decision- making," he said. One's mother tongue is the best medium for personality development, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said. "The languages of our country have the best grammar, .

We should achieve target of 330 MMT milk production by 2033-34: Amit Shah

Union Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said that India should set a target to contribute 330 million metric tonnes (MMT), or 33 per cent of global milk production by 2033-34, stressing the need to also produce milk by the masses. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government is working for the 360-degree growth of the dairy sector, Shah said at the 49th Dairy Industry Conference organised by Indian Dairy Association here. We should not content ourselves with becoming the world's largest milk producing country. If two lakh new primary milk producing committees are formed (at panchayat level), then in coming years, there is the possibility of India becoming the contributor of 33 per cent of global milk production, Shah said, while calling for the need to explore this possibility. We have to move ahead to achieve the target of producing 330 MMT, or 33 per cent of milk globally by 2033-34, he said. According to the Indian Dairy Association, the country's milk production is now 220

Parliament logjam can be resolved if Oppn comes forward for talks: Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said the current logjam in Parliament can be resolved if the Opposition comes forward for talks and that the government will go "two steps ahead" if it takes "two steps forward". Participating in the India Today Conclave here on Friday, Shah also said there are certain issues which are above politics and even former prime minister Indira Gandhi had refused to discuss domestic politics in a foreign land. "Let the two sides sit before the Speaker and discuss. They should come two steps forward and we will go two steps ahead. Then Parliament will start running. But you just hold a press conference and do nothing, it can't be like that," he said. The home minister said a parliamentary system can't run with only the treasury or only the Opposition as both have to talk to each other. "Despite our initiative, there has been no proposal for talks from the Opposition. So whom will we talk to? They are talking to the media. They created a slogan that there .

Modi to become PM for 3rd consecutive term in 2024, says Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said the BJP-led NDA will form government again in 2024 and Narendra Modi will become prime minister for a third consecutive term. Participating the "India Today Conclave" here, Shah also said ever since the Modi government came to power, issues related to three hotspots -- Jammu and Kashmir, the Northeast and Naxal -- were by and large resolved. Since a surgical strike was carried out against terrorists inside Pakistan, no foreign power dared to interfere in the internal affairs of the country, the home minister said. "People will decide who will be the next prime minister of the country. I have visited every part of the country and have realised that again the BJP will form the government and Modi will become the prime minister for a third consecutive term," he said. Shah said since the 1970s, this would be for the first time that a prime minister will get the people's mandate for the third consecutive term. Asked about the number of seats

CBI working impartially; most cases being probed reported during UPA: Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday asserted that probe agencies like the CBI and the ED have been working impartially and except two, all cases they were investigating had been registered during the UPA government. Participating in the India Today Conclave here, Shah said whatever the investigating agencies were doing could be challenged in courts. In 2017, during Uttar Pradesh polls, a big woman leader of Congress had said if they were indulging in corruption, why there was no investigation. She was questioning us. Now they are creating a hue and cry when there has been action, he said. The home minister said these investigating agencies are not above the court and any notice, FIR and chargesheet can be challenged in the courts. Instead of going to the court, why are they shouting outside. I want to ask the people if there is any corruption allegation against anyone, should not there be a probe. All these cases, except two, were registered during their rule. Not during our ..

Taking on Kerala's CPI(M)-led Left government on alleged corruption in the Life Mission project, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday urged Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to shed his silence on the matter. Shah, while addressing a BJP rally here, also alleged that Communists were keeping mum on the alleged gold smuggling scam and said they will be forced to answer the public in 2024 Parliamentary elections.
