*Paromita Das

On Sunday, EU leader Ursula von der Leyen stated that Europe stands by Ukraine, slamming Russia for waging an “atrocious war” and directing “senseless aggression” in the country, which has suffered massive damage and continues to do so.

Her video message comes as Europe celebrates Europe Day, which began with the premise that “conflict between European nations should be unthinkable.”

The European Union chief is heard saying in the two-minute and 20-second video shared on Twitter, “Today our continent encounters shadows of the past we thought we had left behind long ago.” An atrocious war, senseless aggression, and cities destroyed. Millions of innocent people are fleeing their homes. A people desperate for control over its own destiny.”

“At the same time, the Kremlin’s invasion serves as a reminder of why we celebrate Europe Day.” The birth of a peaceful, prosperous Europe. Europe is stronger and more united than ever 72 years later.”

Her message arrived on the same day as a bombing in Ukraine that killed more than 60 people, more than two months after the conflict over Russia’s “denazification” of the country began.

“We’re getting over the COVID crisis.” Our recovery fund has already distributed 100 billion euros to member countries. Every day, massive investments secure millions of jobs while also creating new ones. “We are working hard to protect the environment.”
On Europe Day, May 9, 1950, the ‘Schuman Declaration’ was signed. It is being commemorated this year during one of the continent’s bloodiest conflicts since World War II.
.Tejasvi Surya meets Tajinder Bagga and declares that he will fight the AAP’s strategy of filing false cases against BJP workers.

The AAP’s tactic of filing false cases against BJP workers in order to undermine their morale will be challenged in the courts and on the streets, according to BJYM president Tejasvi Surya, who met with Delhi BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga and his parents here on Saturday.

A day after Bagga’s dramatic arrest and rescue, a group of leaders, including Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and Surya, met with the Delhi BJP spokesperson at his Janakpuri home and condemned Punjab Police’s actions.
Bagga was arrested from his home here by Punjab Police on Friday, detained in Haryana while being transported to Punjab, and returned to the national capital by Delhi Police hours later.

Sawant tweeted after meeting Bagga, “Today, I paid a visit to @BJYM National Secretary @TajinderBagga and met his family. I strongly condemn @ArvindKejriwal’s abuse of power in ordering Punjab Police to kidnap Tajinder from his residence in Delhi. So-called #FoE champions are now attempting to undermine free speech.”

Surya lashed out at AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, saying, “In Kurukshetra yesterday, ‘dharma’ triumphed, ‘adharma’ was destroyed, and the modern-day ‘Duryodhana Kejriwal’s ego was vanquished.”
Bagga was arrested and handed over to Delhi Police in Kurukshetra after Haryana Police stopped the team accompanying him following a kidnapping case filed in Delhi on his father’s complaint.

“The saddest part is that Arvind Kejriwal’s goons in uniform abducted Bagga from his home and manhandled his father,” the president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha said.

He also accused Kejriwal of violating the federal system by arresting Bagga using Punjab Police without informing local police in Delhi.

“This is AAP’s standard operating procedure: file false and fabricated cases against BJP employees in order to undermine their morale.” They will not be successful. We will fight this in the courts and on the streets to protect the rights of ordinary political activists, “according to the BJP MP.

Surya expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP President JP Nadda “It exemplifies how the party will stand by a common worker and defend his constitutional rights.
