Significance Of Peace Has Grown Amid Atmosphere Of Unrest: President Murmu
JAIPUR, Oct 4: President Droupadi Murmu on Friday said the significance of peace and unity has increased amid unrest in certain parts of the world.
Addressing the inaugural session of a four-day global summit at the international headquarters of Brahma Kumaris in Mount Abu, the President said, “Today, an atmosphere of unrest is prevailing in several parts of the world. At a time when human values are declining, the importance of peace and unity is increasing even more.”
She added, “Peace is also located deep inside the mind. So everyone must keep their mind, words and deeds clean.”
Calling on joining forces to overcome the challenge of global warming and pollution, Murmu said, “People should understand that they are not the owners of this earth, but are responsible for its protection. We are trustees, not owners. We have to protect this planet with our own discretion.”
Somewhere there is excessive rain while somewhere there is a drought, she said, highlighting the impact of the climate change.
“The government of India has requested every person to plant a sapling in the name of mother. If 140 crore saplings are planted, the number of trees will increase which will slowly improve the climate. To achieve this, everyone must plant a sapling each year,” she said.
Murmu also said that materialism gives momentary happiness, and people get attracted to it thinking it to be real contentment, but it also becomes the reason for sorrow and dissatisfaction whereas spirituality gives people an opportunity to recognise their inner strength.
“Spirituality gives a new perspective, it creates a sense of compassion towards all creatures and sensitivity towards the nature. Spirituality is a medium to bring positivity in the society. Being spiritual means recognising the inner power, and bringing purity in conduct.
“One can become a better person by improving his actions. Bringing purity in thoughts and actions is necessary for peace and balance in life, and for a healthy society,” the president said.
“People sometimes become tainted with lust, anger and attachments. But if the soul is pure, everything will be purified. If we are not mentally clean, external cleanliness will prove meaningless,” she added.
The event was also attended by Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagade. (Agencies)
Arvind Kejriwal asks why central government doesn’t make more Agniveers permanent when force is ready
AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at the Central government on Friday for failing to make Agniveers a ‘permanent’ part of the Army. The remarks came after IAF chief marshal AP Singh indicated that the Air Force could absorb more than 25% of the military aspirants.
“When the force is ready and there is a need, then why doesn’t the central government make more Agniveers permanent?” Kejriwal sought to know.
The remarks came as a direct response to an assertion by IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh earlier this week.
“Our feedback on Agniveers has been very positive. We were asked if we could absorb more than 25% Agniveer and we said that we could. The decision has to be taken by the government,” he had said during a recent press conference.

Operation Chakra-III: A Crucial Step in the Battle Against Cybercrime
The recent arrest of 26 cybercriminals in India under Operation Chakra-III marks a significant milestone in the ongoing struggle against cybercrime. This multi-state crackdown by the CBI underscores a pressing reality: as our lives become increasingly digital, the threats we face in the cyber realm grow more sophisticated and pervasive.
The operations targeted not just local perpetrators but a well-organized network engaged in international fraud, exploiting vulnerable populations through phishing schemes, tech support scams, and identity theft. This highlights a crucial point: cybercrime is not confined to national borders. It is a global menace that demands a coordinated response from law enforcement agencies across the world.
The sheer scale of this operation—raids conducted in multiple cities, the interception of over 170 individuals, and the seizure of substantial evidence—demonstrates a commendable level of commitment from Indian authorities. However, while this operation is a victory, it is merely one battle in a much larger war. Cybercriminals are constantly evolving, employing increasingly complex tactics to evade capture. This underscores the urgent need for India to continue investing in its cybersecurity infrastructure and to stay ahead of emerging threats.
Moreover, the international dimension of these cybercrimes cannot be overlooked. Many victims reside in countries like the USA, UK, and Canada, which illustrates the transnational nature of these networks. This reality calls for stronger international collaboration in sharing intelligence and resources. Nations must unite to develop frameworks that enable them to combat cybercrime collectively, ensuring that perpetrators cannot find refuge in the anonymity of the internet.
The success of Operation Chakra-III serves as a potent reminder that vigilance and cooperation are vital. It sends a clear message to cybercriminals: while the digital world may offer a veil of anonymity, it cannot shield them from the long arm of the law.
As we celebrate this achievement, it is crucial to remember that the fight against cybercrime is ongoing. India must not only bolster its law enforcement capabilities but also promote cybersecurity awareness among its citizens. By educating the public about the risks and equipping them with knowledge on how to protect themselves, we can create a more resilient society.
In conclusion, Operation Chakra-III is a significant step forward, but it is just the beginning. As cybercriminals adapt, so too must we. A robust response, both domestically and internationally, is essential to ensure that we can safeguard our digital lives and hold those who exploit them accountable. The battle against cybercrime is one we must win, not just for ourselves, but for future generations.
