“You Failed To Deliver”: Sacked UK Minister In Letter To Rishi Sunak

UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman, sacked by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, quit her office today with a massive parting shot — a scathing resignation posted on social media where she accused him of being “weak” and failing to deliver on key policies and keep their promise to the British people.

The Prime Minister, she wrote, got the office partly because of her support.

“I agreed to support you because of the firm assurances you gave me on key policies… our deal was no mere promise over dinner, to be discarded when convenient and denied when challenged,” she wrote.

“Your rejection of this path was not merely a betrayal of our agreement but a betrayal of your promise to the nation that you would do ‘whatever it takes’ to stop the boats,” she added.

The “promises” she accused Mr Sunak of breaking include reduction of illegal migration, stopping the migrant boats from crossing the English Channel, issuing statutory guidance to schools protection of biological sex and deliver on the north Ireland protocol.

“Someone needs to be honest: your plan is not working, we have endured record election defeats, your resets have failed and we are running out of time,” she wrote.

Suella Braverman was sacked after the comments she made last week about the police’s handling of a pro-Palestinian march.

In an article she wrote published by The Times, she had accused the police of “playing favourites” during protests and claimed they largely ignored “pro-Palestinian mobs”.

She also wrote that she did not believe the protests were “merely a cry for help for Gaza” but were more an “assertion of primacy by certain groups — particularly Islamists”.

The Opposition Labour Party alleged it had increased tension at pro-Palestinian rallies and Mr Sunak came under increasing pressure to drop her from his cabinet.

Chhath Puja 2023: Check Day-Wise Schedule And Puja Muhurat

Chhath Puja is celebrated in Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and parts of Uttar Pradesh with much pomp and enthusiasm. Devotees worship Surya Dev, the Hindu Sun God, during these four days. The festival falls on the sixth day of the Hindu lunar month of Kartika and is celebrated for four days. Accordingly, this year, the Chhath Puja festival will begin on November 17 (Friday) and continue till November 20.

Chhath Puja is also known as Surya Shashthi, Prathihar, Chhathi, and Dala Chhath.

Chhath Puja 2023 Day 1: Nahay Khay

It starts with the ritual of Nahay Khay (bathing and feasting) on the first day. Devotees take a bath in the river or pond and then eat a simple meal. On this day, people buy fruits and diyas (earthen lamps) for the puja, and clean the household. The fruits used in the puja are also symbolic of the harvest season.

Chhath Puja 2023 Day 2: Kharna

On the second day, called Kharna, devotees fast throughout the day, breaking it only after sunset as an offering to the deities. A prasad is provided to the Chhati Mata and distributed amongst relatives and friends.

Chhath Puja 2023 Day 3: Surya Shashth

The third day is when the main rituals start. Devotees, usually women, gather at the water bodies, be it rivers or ponds, before sunrise. Standing waist-deep in water, they offer arghya (offering of water) to the rising Sun. It will be special this year because the third day will fall on Sunday, the day associated with the Sun. People listen to the Chhath Vrat Katha and sing devotional songs at night.

Chhath Puja 2023 Day 4: Usha Arghya

On the last day of the Chhath Puja, Arghya is offered to the rising Sun in the morning. Usha is believed to be the consort of the Surya Dev. The 36-hour fast is completed after Arghya.
