Yogi Adityanath praises Trump ban, compares Western UP to Kashmir

January 31, 2017

Bulandshahr, Jan 31: BJP lawmaker Yogi Adityanath has praised US President Donald Trump's temporary ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries - roundly condemned within the US and worldwide - and said similar action is needed to check terrorism in India. While campaigning for the Uttar Pradesh polls to be held from February 7, the firebrand leader also focused on his party colleague's claims of a Hindu "exodus" from western UP and warned that the region could soon "become another Kashmir".

Addressing a rally in Bulandshahr on Monday, the saffron-robed lawmaker referred to Mr Trump's immigration order temporarily banning entry to the US for citizens of seven countries and refugees from around the world, and said: "Similar action is needed to contain terror activities in this country."

The lawmaker from Gorakhpur also alleged during his speeches that the situation in western Uttar Pradesh is similar to the Kashmir Valley around three decades ago, when "Kashmiri Pandits were terrorized and forced to leave". The situation, he claimed, was especially grim in Muzzafarnagar, Baghpat, Meerut and Ghaziabad. He accused the ruling Samajwadi Party and Mayawati's BSP of allowing it to happen with their policies over the years.

"What happened in Kashmir in 1990...the same is going to happen in UP," the lawmaker said, adding, "BJP is committed not to let this happen anymore. We have lost Kashmir Valley, but we cannot let western Uttar Pradesh to become second Kashmir."

Last year, BJP parliamentarian Hukum Singh alleged that more than 300 Hindu families have left Muslim-dominated Kairana because of threats and attacks after riots in 2013 in the area.

Both the Samajwadi Party and BSP have rubbished the claim, calling it is an attempt to polarise the region for votes. Mr Singh has also not backed his claim with any credible evidence.

Kairana is around 50 km from Muzaffarnagar, where over 60 were killed and thousands displaced in riots in September 2013, months before the national election.

Kairana has also found a place in the BJP's manifesto for UP. "District collectors will be held accountable for migration of people due to communal strife," BJP chief Amit Shah said while releasing the manifesto on the weekend, promising to set up teams that would check such "exodus".

Comments

Unfortunate, very unfortunate.
- Wearing Safron means, he is representing the Hindus of whole country.
- By his speech bringing the example of Trumph he is exploiting the people to disturb the communal harmony.
- He is polarizing communities.

With all the above Plus some other bad attitudes in him, are the sign of criminal.
He does not have the quality to be a priest / Sadhu.

Actual teaching of Hinduism has no relation with such attitudes of crimes. Even this is not the part of Hindu tradition.This is from him.

He can not be a Sadu, He is not representing real Hindus.

As he is spoiling the name of a peaceful religion, the Common Hindus should teach him a lesson,

this dhongi swamy is a hate monger and liar. He should not have the right to be a MP or else. However BJP is a party of such goondas / hate mongers only and Shanawaz/MJ Akbar/Nakhwi are supporting this hate monger. Its unfortunate.

India’s Tougher Pilot Fatigue Rules: Why IndiGo’s Operations Crashed Into Turbulence

News Network

December 6,2025

New Delhi: IndiGo, India’s largest airline, faced major operational turbulence this week after failing to prepare for new pilot-fatigue regulations issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The stricter rules—designed to improve flight safety—took effect in phases through 2024, with the latest implementation on November 1. IndiGo has acknowledged that inadequate roster planning led to widespread cancellations and delays.

Below are the key DGCA rules that affected IndiGo’s operations:

1. Longer Mandatory Weekly Rest

Weekly rest for pilots has been increased from 36 hours to 48 hours.

The government says the extended break is essential to curb cumulative fatigue. This rule remains in force despite the current crisis.

2. Cap on Night Landings

Pilots can now perform only two night landings per week—a steep reduction from the earlier limit of six.

Night hours, defined as midnight to early morning, are considered the least alert period for pilots.

Given the disruptions, this rule has been temporarily relaxed for IndiGo until February 10.

3. Reduced Maximum Night Flight Duty

Flight duty that stretches into the night is now capped at 10 hours.

This measure has also been kept on hold for IndiGo until February 10 to stabilize operations.

4. Weekly Rest Cannot Be Replaced With Personal Leave

Airlines can no longer count a pilot’s personal leave as part of the mandatory 48-hour rest.

Pilots say this closes a loophole that previously reduced actual rest time.

Currently, all airlines are exempt from this rule to normalise travel.

5. Mandatory Fatigue Monitoring

Airlines must submit quarterly fatigue reports along with corrective actions to DGCA.

This system aims to create a transparent fatigue-tracking framework across the industry.

The DGCA has stressed that these rules were crafted to strengthen flight safety and align India with global fatigue-management standards. The temporary relaxations are expected to remain until February 2025, giving IndiGo time to stabilise its schedules and restore normal air travel.
