May 4, 2017

Hyderabad, May 4: Cases were booked against AICC General Secretary and In charge of Telugu states, Digvijaya Singh here on Thursday for his tweets on Telangana police alleging that they are encouraging Muslim youth to join ISIS through fake websites.

Based on a complaint filed by Telangana Rahstra Samithi legislator M Gopinath three days ago, the Banjara Hills police booked cases against the senior Congress leader under sections 501 and 505 for printing defamatory matter and provoking breach of peace. Police initiated the step only after taking legal advice, a senior officer said.

Digvijaya Singh on Monday stoked controversy by tweeting that Telangana police have set up a bogus web site in the name of ISIS to trap Muslim youth by encouraging them to join the radical group. Digvijaya wanted to know whether chief minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao authorized Telangana police to trap Muslim youths. He demanded KCR to order an investigation and initiate action on the police responsible for running the fake site.

Following his tweets Telangana Home Minister Narasimha Reddy demanded apology from Digvijaya saying that the former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh intentionally degraded Telangana police which is considered as one of the best in the country. However Digvijaya refused to budge and reiterated his statement.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held talks with Jordan’s King Abdullah II in Amman, during which the two leaders discussed ways to further strengthen bilateral relations, with the Prime Minister outlining an eight-point vision covering key areas of cooperation.

Describing the meeting as “productive”, PM Modi said he shared a roadmap focused on trade and economy, fertilisers and agriculture, information technology, healthcare, infrastructure, critical and strategic minerals, civil nuclear cooperation, and people-to-people ties.

In a post on social media platform X, the Prime Minister praised King Abdullah II’s personal commitment to advancing India–Jordan relations, particularly as both countries mark the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties this year.

“Held productive discussions with His Majesty King Abdullah II in Amman. His personal commitment towards vibrant India-Jordan relations is noteworthy. This year, we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of our bilateral diplomatic relations,” PM Modi said.

The meeting took place at the Al Husseiniya Palace, where the two leaders also exchanged views on regional and global issues of mutual interest. According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), both sides agreed to further deepen cooperation in areas including trade and investment, defence and security, counter-terrorism and de-radicalisation, fertilisers and agriculture, infrastructure, renewable energy, tourism, and heritage.

The MEA said both leaders reaffirmed their united stand against terrorism.

PM Modi arrived in Amman earlier on Monday and was received by Jordanian Prime Minister Jafar Hassan, who accorded him a formal welcome. Following the talks, King Abdullah II hosted a banquet dinner in honour of the Prime Minister, reflecting the warmth of bilateral ties.

Jordan is the first leg of PM Modi’s three-nation tour. From Amman, the Prime Minister will travel to Ethiopia at the invitation of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali, marking his first official visit to the African nation. The tour will conclude with a visit to Oman.
