I know what is good for me--Amrita Rai after marriage

I have married Digvijaya Singh for love

Amrita Rai

I would like to share with my friends that I and Digvijaya Singh have married in a solemn ceremony, as per the Hindu rites. We have also later registered our marriage.

On this occasion, I would like to thank all those who have stood by me through all the difficult times that I faced recently. Last one and a half years have been particularly stressful and traumatic. I was the victim of a cyber crime, but was treated as a criminal. I was trolled and abused in most derogatory language for no fault of mine. Those who themselves have no concept or belief in love and dignity tried to shame me on social media. But all during this period, I kept a dignified silence and went on with my work, believing in myself and my love for DIgvijaya.

I know, question have been raised and will be raised on the age difference between us. But I sincerely feel that at my age I know what is good for me and I can take my decisions as per my own wisdom. We live in a modern, progressive India, and the constitutional and legal framework has empowered me to decide about my life and my life’s choices.

I also know that motives can be attributed to my decision. Time is the only final arbitrator in such matters. I am a professional woman, who has worked hard throughout my career and have made a place and reputation for myself. I believe in my professional capabilities and like any other modern women, I have and will continue to shoulder my personal and family responsibilities on my own.

I have married Digvijaya Singh for love. Therefore, I have already requested him to transfer all his property and belongings to his son and daughters. I only want to embark on this new journey with him, working towards a dignified, professional career.

Once again, thank you all my friends, my office colleagues and well-wishers for everything.

CPI strongly criticized the BJP government

Releasing the population data with a communal motive is dangerous 

Ludhiana: 26 August 2015: (Peoples Media Link):

The Communist Party of India (CPI) district Ludhiana strongly criticized the BJP government for releasing the population data with a communal motive to split the society in the wake of upcoming Bihar elections.  It is undesirable to release population growth data on religious lines as it can be used by the communal forces with malafide intentions. Fact of the matter is that the growth rate of Hindu population has decreased by 3.16% i.e. from 19.92% to 16.76 whereas Muslim population growth rate has decreased by 4.92% i.e. from 29.52 to 24.60 during the decade 2001 to 2011. In a statement released today Com Kartar Singh Bowani, Com D P Maur and Dr Arun Mitra said that population growth depends on the socio economic and education status of the people. The growth of population among the economically and educationally better sections among all the communities and religious groups is not much different. Need is to frame the policies to uplift the weaker sections so that they become conscious of the need to control the family. Centre’s Modi Govt. should rise above communal lines and instead   think of country’s development.
