Amit Shah

Gujarat CM, Bhupendra Patel, to take oath as the chief minister of the state on December 12 at 2 pm. The oath-taking ceremony will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

The Maharashtra-Karnataka border dispute turned violent on Tuesday when vehicles registered in the former state were attacked by pro-Kannada groups near Karnataka's Belagavi district. NCP's Supriya Sule said, "People from Maharashtra were beaten up yesterday. This is not acceptable. This is one country."

Underlining the importance of education in Hindi and regional languages, the Union home minister said that students can develop an original thought process with ease if they study in their mother tongue and this encourages research and innovation.

To contain the violence, the Assam Police had imposed Section 144 of the CrPC. The Police had also advised people to avoid travelling to the neighbouring state, citing the situation is still not completely peaceful in Meghalaya, reported North-East Now.

In the North-East, the longstanding border dispute between Assam and Meghalaya has flared up once again with the recent killing of six persons. Here is a take on the history of the dispute, recent developments and what lies ahead.

As many as six people, including five tribal villagers from Meghalaya, a forest guard from Assam, were killed. Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma called on Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi on Thursday.

Shah said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had sat on an indefinite hunger strike when he was chief minister of Gujarat against the Congress-led UPA government's decision to not increase the height of the dam.

The action came a day after the deadline for withdrawing nominations for the second phase had passed. Despite a persuasion drive led by Union Minister Amit Shah, none of these Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rebels opted out of the election.

The Shiv Sena leader also lauded the state government and said, "A new govt was formed in Maharashtra, I welcome some of their good decisions. Dy CM Devendra Fadanvis took some good decisions. We feel that the state is being run by Dy CM Fadnavis and he is leading the state."

LK Advani became a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) when he was a teenager and is one of the co-founders and a senior leader of the BJP. The veteran leader is popularly known for propagating Hindutva politics to the forefront in the 1990s.
