Congress leader P Chidambaram says that PM Modi can only be find in Varanasi and Ayodhya and not in Parliament
You will only find PM Narendra Modi in “places like Varanasi and Ayodhya and not in Parliament”, Congress leader P Chidambaram said on Tuesday.
Chidambaram, a former Union minister, made the remarks when asked to comment on the Prime Minister’s two-day visit to Varanasi for the inauguration of the Kashi Vishwanath Dham Corridor.
“PM has such great ‘respect’ for Parliament that he will skip the December 13 homage to martyred security staff. He’ll skip everything and go to Varanasi. You’ll only find him in places like Varanasi and Ayodhya, not in the Parliament,” Chidambaram was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
The Congress leader was referring to the homage Parliament paid to the security personnel who laid down their lives while defending Parliament complex from a terrorist attack on December 13, 2001.
On Monday, both Houses of Parliament stood in silence as a mark of respect for the security personnel who lost their lives in the service of the nation.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla first mentioned the security personnel who lost their lives in the 2001 parliament attack.
“On this day in 2001, evil forces of terrorism tried to sabotage this August institution. However, their sinister motives were thwarted by the timely action of our valiant security forces, who kept a constant vigil on the situation and were steadfast in protecting this temple of democracy, even to the extent of laying down their lives,” Rajya Sabha chairman Venkaiah Naidu said.
On December 13, 2001, terrorists affiliated to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) opened fire inside Parliament complex, killing nine people – Jagdish Prasad Yadav and Matbar Singh Negi, both security assistants at the Rajya Sabha Secretariat, Kamlesh Kumari, a CRPF constable, Nanak Chand and Rampal, assistant sub-inspectors of the Delhi Police, Om Prakash, Bijender Singh and Ghanshyam, head constables of the Delhi Police, and Deshraj, a gardener employed by the CPWD.
All five terrorists involved in the attack were also gunned down.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
