Women's reservation bill: Congress MP slams govt for treatment of wrestlers, Manipur women

Congress MP Ranjeet Ranjan criticised the government for its treatment of women wrestlers during the discussion on women's reservation bill.&nbsp;

Congress MP Ranjeet Ranjan slammed the government for its treatment of women wrestlers and its handling of the situation in Manipur while speaking in the Rajya Sabha during the discussion on women's reservation bill.&nbsp;
Ranjan also questioned why it took the BJP nine-and-a-half years to bring the bill despite promising it in the party's election manifesto in 2014.
"I want to ask why the president was not invited to the inauguration of the new Parliament building. She is a woman and comes from a tribal community," she said.
Stating that her party supports the bill, Ranjan questioned the need to call a special session to pass it instead of during a regular session.
"Limelight lene ke aadat hai (it is a habit to hog the limelight)," she said, adding that the BJP is now trying to use women before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
She also questioned the government on its intentions on several issues, saying it did not consult anyone before the demonetisation of high-value currency notes and added that 155 people died during the limited window to exchange the banned notes.
It did not consult anyone when the three controversial farm laws were introduced, no one in government spoke when women wrestlers protested against a BJP MP over allegations of sexual harassment and two women were paraded naked in strife-torn Manipur, the Congress member said.
Ranjan also questioned the conditions of a delimitation exercise based on census data for giving reservations to women.
"You want to raise the number of seats (in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies) and then give women reservation. Why not give them a share in the present seats?" She also demanded reservations for OBCs, similar to that for SCs/STs.
Asking why the BJP took nine-and-a-half years to introduce the bill, she said the Congress-led UPA passed a women's reservation bill in the Rajya Sabha in 2010, within a year of coming to power for the second time.

Being on India&rsquo;s wanted list, the Moga resident fled India in 2017 using fake documents. India&rsquo;s National Investigation Agency had sought the pro-Khalistani ever since.
Singh, who was otherwise known as Sukha Duneke, had seven cases registered against him, NDTV reported citing Indian records.
Tensions between Canada and India have escalated over the killing of a pro-Khalistani in June.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country was investigating credible allegations that Indian government agents were connected to the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, but India has rejected the allegations as absurd.

Amid the raging diplomatic row with Canada, India on Thursday sent out a stern message to Canada saying allegations made by them are politically driven

Amid the raging diplomatic row with Canada, India on Thursday sent out a stern message to Canada saying allegations made by them are politically driven, adding that the authorities have not shared any specific information on Nijjar killing with India.&nbsp;
Speaking with reporters in New Delhi, the Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, "We've informed the Govt of Canada that there should be parity in strength in our mutual diplomatic presence. Their number is very much higher than ours in Canada... I assume there will be a reduction from the Canadian side.
He further added, "I do think there is a degree of prejudice here. They have made allegations and taken action against them. To us, it seems that these allegations by the government of Canada are primarily politically driven."

Nadda further said, the officials in question were appointed before 1992, the year when OBC reservation in services was implemented only after the Supreme Court asked for it in 1992.

Nadda further said, the officials in question were appointed before 1992, the year when OBC reservation in services was implemented only after the Supreme Court asked for it in 1992.

BJP president J P Nadda on Thursday came down heavily on the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi for demanding an OBC quota within the reservation for women lawmakers, saying it was the BJP-led NDA that gave the country its first prime minister from the Other Backward Classes.
In an apparent jibe at Rahul Gandhi, Nadda while speaking in Rajya Sabha Jadda said, Congress did not bother about the OBCs while it was ruling the country.
Nadda further said, the officials in question were appointed before 1992, the year when OBC reservation in services was implemented only after the Supreme Court asked for it in 1992.
Mocking Gandhi, Nadda, alleged that the leader also said "a leader will have to become a leader" and that taking help from a tutor is not enough.

Aide of Khalistani leader Arsh Dalla has been killed in Canada in gang war, according to media reports

Punjab gangster Sukha Duneke has been killed in Canada's Winnipeg in a gang war, according to multiple media reports.&nbsp;
Duneke was believed to be associated with Canada-based Khalistani terrorist Arsh Dalla.&nbsp;
The incident comes amid heightened tensions between India and Canada due to the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil.&nbsp;
The killing of the Canada-based gangster, who had at least 18 cases against him including those for murder, attempt to murder and robbery, took place on Wednesday night Canada time, the sources said.
Hailing from Duneke Kalan village in Punjab's Moga district, the gangster fled to Canada in December 2017, official sources said.
An active member of the Davinder Bambiha gang, Duneke was closely associated with Canada-based gangster-turned-terrorist Arsh Dalla, gangster Lucky Patial, Malaysia-based gangster Jackpal Singh alias Lali and other criminals.
The dreaded gangster was managing the activities of the gang from foreign soil and was also involved in running an extortion racket, targeted killings of rival gang members in Punjab and neighbouring areas through his local contacts and managing the network of his foreign-based associates, the sources said.
In the last few months, the number of extortion calls made by Duneke had increased considerably in Punjab and neighbouring areas, they added.
In January, two of Duneke's associates -- Kulwinder Singh alias Kinda and Paramjeet Singh Pamma -- were arrested by the counter-intelligence wing (Bathinda) and three pistols and cartridges seized from their possession.
The two men were part of the extortion racket run by Duneke.
After his father died in 1990, Duneke got a peon's job at the Moga deputy commissioner's office on compassionate ground. During the eight years he continued with the job, he became addicted to drugs, the sources said.
A lookout circular was issued against Duneke in 2022.
His name had also figured in connection with the killing of international kabaddi player Sandeep Nangal Ambian in March last year. He was accused of arranging the shooters for the killing.
Duneke's name also cropped up following the killing of two rival gang members -- Manpreet Singh and Vicky Singh -- by the shooters of the Bambiha gang in January 2022.

Row over Cauvery water: protests erupt as SC refuses to interfere with release orders

Several members of the Pro-Kannada organisations were detained after they tried to march towards the Vidhan Souda.&nbsp;

Protests erupted in various parts of Cauvery river basin districts of Karnataka after the Supreme Court refused to interfere with orders of the Cauvery Water Management Authority and Cauvery Water Regulation Committee, directing the state to release 5,000 cusecs of water to neighbouring Tamil Nadu.
Farmers organisations and pro-Kannada organisations staged protests in Mysuru, Mandya, Bengaluru and other parts expressing their anger and urging the state government not to release water to Tamil Nadu.
Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and Hasiru Sene (farmers organisation) staged a protest at Basaveshwara circle in Mysuru, and raised slogans: "Where is water to release? And we demand justice." They have also planned to lay siege to the Command Area Development Authority office in Mysuru, as a mark of protest.
Pointing out that Cauvery and Kabini basin taluks have already been declared as drought hit, a farmer leader alleged, CWMA orders are in favour of Tamil Nadu as it is without taking into account the water level at reservoirs, standing crops and drinking water needs of Karnataka.
Karnataka Rakshana Vedike staged a protest at Gandhinagar, urging the state government not to release water to Tamil Nadu at any cost.
