Didi Slams Draconian Criminal Law Bills

Didi Slams Draconian Criminal Law Bills:

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticized the new criminal law bills as excessively harsh and anti-citizen. She revealed that Trinamul Congress MPs will voice their concerns about the bill’s provisions during parliamentary panel discussions.

Expressing her worries, Banerjee posted on X (formerly Twitter) that she had been reviewing drafts from the Union Home Ministry aimed at replacing the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and Indian Evidence Act. She was shocked to discover that these drafts quietly introduced severe and draconian provisions detrimental to citizens.

She pointed out that while there was a promise to withdraw the Sedition Law, the proposed Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita introduced even more severe and arbitrary measures, potentially affecting citizens more negatively. Banerjee stressed the need to decolonize not only the form but also the spirit of the current Acts, and she encouraged jurists and public activists to carefully study these drafts for democratic contributions to the criminal justice system.

She also mentioned that her parliamentary colleagues would address these concerns during deliberations in the Standing Committee. She emphasized the need for improvements in the laws.

BJP Committed to Providing 10% Reservation for Tribals,” Affirms Kishan Reddy

BJP Committed to Providing 10% Reservation for Tribals,” Affirms Kishan Reddy:

The Telangana BJP has pledged to implement a 10% reservation for Adivasis (tribals) in government jobs, local body elections, and education based on their population size. Union Minister and BJP State Chief, G. Kishan Reddy, made this commitment after offering prayers to the presiding deities Sammakka and Saralamma in Medaram, Mulugu district.

G.Kishan Reddy, speaking to the media at the temple, emphasized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to uplift tribal and Adivasi communities across the nation, including celebrating the 125th birth anniversary of Alluri Sitarama Raju and appointing a tribal woman as a president. He hoped the presiding deities would bless Modi in his mission to preserve tribal traditions and culture and initiate further developmental programs for these communities.

The BJP leader expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister for establishing the Central Tribal University in Mulugu district, named after Sammakka and Saralamma, and allocating ₹900 crore for its initial phase. He also mentioned the ₹34 crore tribal memorial museum and a ₹6.5 crore tribal research center established by the BJP government in Hyderabad.

Kishan Reddy highlighted the establishment of 17 Ekalavya schools costing ₹420 crore to promote development in the agency areas, honor tribal luminaries, and enhance tribal literacy rates. The central government also designated aspirational districts such as Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Asifabad, and Bhadradri Kothagudem, providing ₹37 crore for their development.

Furthermore, through the Swadesh Darshan scheme, the central government allocated ₹80 crore to create a tribal circuit linking Mulugu, Laknavaram, Thadavai, Damarvai, Malluru, and Bogatha waterfalls, along with providing essential facilities. The Prime Minister has taken a special initiative to secure UNESCO’s World Heritage status for the historic Sri Rudreshwara Alayam temple in Ramappa, Mulugu district.

Maharashtra Politics: Language and Religion in Focus Ahead of Elections:

As the elections draw near, a linguistic dispute has erupted in Mumbai, where activists from Shiv Sena (UBT) and the MNS have vandalized Gujarati signboards in the Ghatkopar area, which has a significant Gujarati population. BJP leaders are calling for the reinstallation of these signboards by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

Unidentified individuals damaged a signboard with Gujarati text and replaced it with a flex displaying the Shiv Sena (UBT) symbol at a triangular traffic junction near the ‘N’ ward BMC office in Ghatkopar. This junction was beautified in 2016 by the then-local BJP corporator Pravin Chheda, who installed a large sign in Gujarati reading ‘Maru Ghatkopar’ (My Ghatkopar) on one side.

Following this incident, MNS activists also defaced other Gujarati nameplates on RB Mehta Marg on Monday night, creating a tense atmosphere in Ghatkopar.

On Tuesday, BJP workers and Gujarati residents in Ghatkopar staged protests against these acts of vandalism. Chheda noted that the traffic junction had signages in Marathi From Maharashtra and English on the other two sides, and there was no intention to exclusively promote the Gujarati language. He accused both Shiv Sena UBT and the MNS of attempting to exploit the situation for their own political advantage by stirring up a Marathi vs. Gujarati dispute.

The Marathi vs. Gujarati dispute is expected to escalate into a significant controversy in the coming days. The incident occurred shortly after a Marathi woman, Trupti Deorukhkar, was allegedly denied access to premises in the Mulund area, which was primarily occupied by Gujarati residents. Subsequently, Gujarati office bearers of the society issued an apology.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra BJP MLA Nitesh Rane has called for restrictions on entry into upcoming Navratri festivals, permitting only Hindus to prevent ‘Love Jihad’ incidents. He urged organizers to check Aadhaar cards at the entrance and admit only Hindus to garba and dandiya venues in Maharashtra.

“We demand that individuals participating in dandiya and garba events should be from the Hindu community. We have requested organizers to verify the Aadhaar cards of all attendees at the entrance and admit only Hindus to ensure the safety of Hindu women,” said the BJP MLA.

He claimed that several incidents have linked ‘love jihad’ cases and religious conversions to such festivities.

“Hindu women are deceived and enticed. People from outside our community attend such events wearing saffron and other attire and falsely claim to be Hindus,” added Rane.

KCR’s Election Goal: KTR as Next CM, Kavitha’s Legal Defense

KCR’s Election Goal: KTR as Next CM, Kavitha’s Legal Defense:

Union Home Minister Amit Shah strongly criticized the ruling BRS government in Telangana, accusing them of damaging the state through family rule. Shah cautioned that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) might attempt to create a false impression of a political alliance with the BJP as an election strategy.

Addressing a gathering of professionals and intellectuals in Secunderabad, Shah stated that KCR’s intentions were to pave the way for his son, K.T. Rama Rao, to become the Chief Minister while safeguarding his daughter, MLC K. Kavitha, from potential legal troubles by maintaining power in Telangana.

Shah emphasized that the BRS lacked a coherent ideology or governing principles for the state, suggesting that if they were to come to power, the influence of the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) would be significant.

Regarding the BJP’s track record, Shah asserted that they adhered to a consistent ideology and strictly implemented it. He highlighted the substantial financial investment made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, amounting to ₹9 lakh crore, towards Telangana’s development over the past nine years. Shah questioned why Telangana, which had a surplus budget at its formation, fell into a deficit during K. Chandrashekar Rao’s (KCR)nine-year tenure.

Shah urged professionals and intellectuals to carefully consider their votes and not grant the BRS another opportunity to lead the government. He called on them to elect the right candidates to establish a new government in Telangana, asserting that the BRS had failed to deliver on its promises of funds, water, and employment.

Additionally, Shah alleged a political nexus between the Congress and the BRS, and he encouraged intellectuals and professionals to put an end to the two parties in Telangana during the upcoming Assembly elections. He contended that family-dominated governments and corrupt political parties did not adequately address the concerns of the people, exemplified by the alleged corruption in the construction of projects like Kaleshwaram and Palamuru-Rangareddy lift irrigation projects by the ruling BRS government.

Shah concluded by urging the gathering to support the BJP and elect its candidates, promising to work towards the development of Telangana.
