Prepared to respond to any aggression by China: Army Commander on LAC situation

GOC Dwivedi said measures to resolve the Line of Actual Control (LAC) situation at diplomatic and operational levels are also simultaneously underway

The Army on Tuesday said it was prepared to give an appropriate response to any adverse aggressive designs of China in the Ladakh sector, maintaining that the integrity of the country was being ensured through physical patrolling and technical means.
"On the LAC, our response to Chinese attempts to unilaterally change the status quo was a swift, undaunted and synergised action by the Indian Armed Forces," General officer Commanding in Chief of Army's Northern Command Lt General Upendra Dwivedi said at an investiture ceremony at Badami Bagh Cantonment area here.
"Any adverse aggressive designs or attempts will definitely be met with appropriate posturing of Forces and a strong intent with complete synergy among the three services," he said.
He said measures to resolve Line of Actual Control (LAC) situation at diplomatic and operational levels are also simultaneously underway.
"I assure you that the LAC in Eastern Ladakh is being dominated by physical patrolling and through technical means and our territorial integrity is being ensured," he added.
Lt Gen Dwivedi said the Northern Command is in a high state of readiness and morale to face constantly evolving threats and challenges.
"The security situation in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh poses many challenges in terrain and operational dynamics, especially from different adversaries along the Northern and Western borders. We are committed to defending India's sovereignty and territorial integrity while upholding the democratic traditions of the Nation. "We are maintaining a constant vigil, monitoring all developments and will take all necessary steps to protect our National Interests," he said.
The Army commander said the Army is prepared to meet any challenges in the future and will always work for the betterment of the people of the region.
"The last two years have brought to the fore newer challenges in the wake of abrogation of Article 370, the Galwan conflict and multiple waves of COVID-19," he said.
"These challenges have only served to strengthen our resolve to be steadfast and determined in our commitment," he added.

Her lawyer told the Apex Court that a new bench needs to be constituted by the Chief Justice of India as Justice Bela M Trivedi recused from hearing the plea.

SC's assurance to Bilkis Bano: plea against remission will be heard soon

Her lawyer told the Apex Court that a new bench needs to be constituted by the Chief Justice of India as Justice Bela M Trivedi recused from hearing the plea.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday assured Bilkis Bano, who was gang-raped and seven members of her family killed during the 2002 Gujarat riots, that her plea against the remission of the sentence of 11 convicts will be heard soon after the constitution of a new bench.
A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala assured Bano, represented through her lawyer Shobha Gupta, that the new bench will be formed at the earliest.
Gupta mentioned the matter for urgent hearing and said that a new bench needs to be constituted by the Chief Justice of India as Justice Bela M Trivedi recused from hearing the plea.
CJI Chandrachud said, "I will do so at the earliest. The matter will be listed soon". Earlier, on January 24, the hearing on Bano's plea challenging the remission of sentence of 11 convicts in the gang-rape case by the Gujarat government could not be held in the top court as the judges concerned were hearing a matter related to passive euthanasia as part of a five-judge Constitution bench.
On that day, the petition was listed for hearing before a bench of Justices Rastogi and CT Ravikumar.
Both Justices Rastogi and Ravikumar were then busy hearing, as part of a Constitution bench headed by Justice K M Joseph, the pleas seeking modification of guidelines on the execution of a "Living Will or Advance Medical Directive" for permitting passive euthanasia.
On January 4, Justice Trivedi had recused from hearing a batch of pleas challenging the remission of the sentence of 11 convicts in Bano's case. &nbsp; Bano had moved the apex court on November 30, 2022 challenging the "premature" release of 11 lifers by the state government, saying it has "shaken the conscience of society".
Besides the plea challenging the release of the convicts, the gang-rape survivor had also filed a separate petition seeking a review of the apex court's May 13, 2022 order on a plea by a convict.
In its May 13, 2022 order, the apex court had asked the state government to consider the plea of a convict for premature release in terms of its policy of July 9, 1992 which was applicable on the date of conviction and decide it within a period of two months.
All 11 convicts were granted remission by the Gujarat government and released on August 15, last year.
Bano's review plea against the May 13, 2022 order, however, was dismissed by the top court in December last year.
The victim, in her pending writ petition, has said the state government passed a "mechanical order" completely ignoring the requirement of law as laid down by the Supreme Court.
"The en-masse premature release of the convicts in the much talked about case of Bilkis Bano has shaken the conscience of the society and resulted in a number of agitations across the country," she has said in the plea.
Referring to past verdicts, the plea said en-masse remissions are not permissible and, moreover, such a relief cannot be sought or granted as a matter of right without examining the case of each convict individually based on their peculiar facts and role played by them in the crime.
"The present writ petition challenging the decision of the State/ Central Government granting remission to all the 11 convicts and releasing them prematurely in one of the most gruesome crimes of extreme inhuman violence and brutality," it said.
The plea, which gave minute details of the crime, said Bilkis and her grown-up daughters were "shell-shocked with this sudden development".
"When the nation was celebrating its 76th Independence Day, all the convicts were released prematurely and were garlanded and felicitated in full public glare and sweets were circulated," it said.
The top court is already seized of PILs filed by CPI(M) leader Subhashini Ali, Revati Laul, an independent journalist, Roop Rekha Verma, who is a former vice chancellor of the Lucknow University, and TMC MP Mahua Moitra against the release of the convicts.
Bilkis Bano was 21 years old and five months pregnant when she was gang-raped while fleeing the riots that broke out after the Godhra train burning incident. Her three-year-old daughter was among the seven family members killed.
The investigation in the case was handed over to the CBI and the trial was transferred to a Maharashtra court by the Supreme Court.
A special CBI court in Mumbai had on January 21, 2008 sentenced the 11 to life imprisonment on charges of gang-rape of Bilkis Bano and murder of seven members of her family.
Their conviction was later upheld by the Bombay High Court and the Supreme Court.
The 11 men convicted in the case walked out of the Godhra sub-jail on August 15 after the Gujarat government allowed their release under its remission policy. They had completed more than 15 years in jail.&nbsp;

Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha: Senior officers say Agniveer scheme will weaken Army

Gandhi said he learnt a lot during his recently concluded Bharat Jodo Yatra and got the opportunity to listen to the inner voice of India.

Participating in the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address in Lok Sabha as the first opposition speaker, Rahul Gandhi questioned the Agniveer scheme for recruiting defence personnel claiming that youths aspiring to be in the army were not on the same page as the government on the scheme.
Senior officers have said the scheme will weaken the army, he claimed.
Gandhi said he learnt a lot during his recently concluded Bharat Jodo Yatra and got the opportunity to listen to the inner voice of India.
He said the highlights of what people told him during the Kanyakumari-to-Kashmir march were the issues of unemployment, price rise and farmers' problems. Adani's name was also frequently heard from people across states as they wondered how he is successful in every business he enters, Gandhi claimed.
The Adani Group is in the eye of a storm following the allegations of fraud and stock manipulation by a US-based short-selling firm. The company's stocks have been hammered even though the group has rejected the charges.

Gandhi said he was asked during Bharat Jodo Yatra how Adani's net worth went from $8 billion in 2014 to $140 billion in 2022.

Gandhi said he was asked during Bharat Jodo Yatra how Adani's net worth went from $8 billion in 2014 to $140 billion in 2022.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi targeted the Narendra Modi government over the Adani controversy, during his statement on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address in Lok Sabha on 7 February 2023.
Speaking about his recently-concluded Bharat Jodo Yatra, Gandhi said, "From Tamil Nadu to Kerala, Maharashtra, MP, everywhere. One name - we heard it everywhere. Adani, Adani, Adani, Adani, Adani."
"People used to ask me how Adani enters any business and achieves success, never fails. The youth told me they also want to learn this. PM Modi talks about startups. We also want to be like Adani," the Congress MP from Wayanad added.
Gandhi said that the youth asked him how Adani's net worth went from $8 billion in 2014 to $140 billion in 2022. Then, he brandished an old photograph of Gautam Adani and Narendra Modi, exclaiming, "This is the relationship. It's in public."
Subsequently, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla told Gandhi not to brandish posters in the House.

On 6 February, a close of Thorat had claimed that the senior leader has written to the party's leadership, accusing state unit chief Nana Patole of harbouring "anger" towards him.

Joshi, a BJP member from Chittorgarh in Rajasthan, had initiated the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address when he referred to Padmavati

Ruckus in Lok Sabha as Opposition alleges BJP MP glorified 'Sati' practice

Joshi, a BJP member from Chittorgarh in Rajasthan, had initiated the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address when he referred to Padmavati

&nbsp;Lok Sabha was adjourned briefly on Tuesday due to protests by opposition members who alleged that BJP member C P Joshi had glorified 'Sati' in his speech. Joshi, however, clarified that he did not support the banned practice and that his remarks were on the tradition of 'Jauhar'.
He said he did not mention 'Sati' and perhaps due to an error in translation from Hindi, the word was mixed with his reference to 'Satitva' (chastity).
Joshi, a BJP member from Chittorgarh in Rajasthan, had initiated the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address when he referred to Padmavati, the queen of Mewar who is believed to have self-immolated when invader Allaudin Khilji laid a siege at the Chittor fort.
Opposition members Supriya Sule (NCP), Kanimozhi, Dayanidhi Maran, A Raja (DMK), K Muraleedharan (Congress) and Imtiaz Jaleel (AIMIM) were on their feet claiming that Joshi had glorified the practice of 'Sati'.
Joshi asserted that he had not made any reference to the practice of 'Sati', but mentioned that Padmavati had performed 'Jauhar' (self-immolation) to protect her honour.
&ldquo;I stand by my words,&rdquo; Joshi said, as opposition members raised slogans in the Well of the House.
As protests continued, Speaker Om Birla adjourned the proceedings for 20 minutes. When the House reassembled, Birla assured the House that objectionable references will be examined and expunged.
Joshi sought to further explain his comments and said he was mentioning 'Jauhar', a practice of mass self-immolation by women.
"Neither I nor my party has ever supported Sati... Perhaps due to an error in translation 'Satitva' was mixed with 'Sati'... My government keeps nation above politics," he said.
"She (Queen Padmavati) sacrificed her life to protect her 'Satitva' (chastity)...," Joshi said, inviting fresh protests from the Opposition benches.
"It was Jauhar... perhaps you don't understand Hindi," he added as protests continued.
As the ruckus continued, the Speaker again assured members that objectionable comments will be expunged and urged members to maintain the decorum of the House.
DMK leader A Raja said even as they wanted to abide by the rulings of the Chair, the reference made by the BJP MP was "completely against the society" and "anti-human".
Participating in the debate later, DMK's Kanimozhi said her head was hanging in shame due to the reference made in the House, even as she did not name the MP.
"Every country when it talks about its past has different narrations... Whose past are we talking about? We talk about the greatness of the nation, valour, art, temples, and philosophy.
"But we can't forget the people who found no place in history - the untouchables, the unseeable and women who were pushed in the fire in the name of honour," she said.
"Today we celebrate that and I stand on the floor of the House hanging my head in shame because we had to listen to something like that," she said.

Prasad also referred to the National Herald case and the AgustaWestland scam case to attack the Gandhi family.

 Rahul made baseless, shameless allegations against PM Modi: BJP

Prasad also referred to the National Herald case and the AgustaWestland scam case to attack the Gandhi family.

Accusing Rahul Gandhi of making baseless, shameless and reckless allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said the Congress itself was involved in "big scams" which "tarnished" the image of the country.
Participating in the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address in Lok Sabha, Gandhi linked the massive rise in the business fortunes and personal wealth of businessman Gautam Adani to the Modi government coming to power in 2014, as he launched a sharp attack on the BJP dispensation over the Adani issue.
"Rahul Gandhi made baseless, shameless and reckless allegations against PM Modi," Prasad told reporters outside Parliament.
"The Congress and its leaders were involved in all those big scams which tarnished the image of India," he added.
Prasad also referred to the National Herald case and the AgustaWestland scam case to attack the Gandhi family. "It's time to revive the memory of Rahul Gandhi on corruption." He alleged that Rahul Gandhi, his mother Sonia Gandhi and her son-in-law Robert Vadra "are on bail".
The Congress party is based on the twin pillars of corruption and protecting the corrupt, he said.
"Corruption and giving protection to the corrupt have been the history of Rahul Gandhi and his family," Prasad said.&nbsp;

Watch: Here's why Speaker Om Birla shunned BJP MP in Lok Sabha

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday shunned a BJP MP for intervening when Law Minister Kiren Rijiju was responding to Rahul Gandhi's allegations on Adani row.
Birla had asked Rijiju to respond to the Congress leader's allegations that the Indian government and PM Modi were facilitating businessman Gautam Adani to divert about 24% of air traffic to his airport.
As Rijiju began to speak, several BJP MPs spoke in unison after which Birla can be seen asking one of the MPs to let the law minister talk.
Birla told the concerned MP that the law minister will have the right information on the issue. He remarked, "tum kyu gyaan baat rahe ho..."
The law Minister in response also sought proof from Rahul Gandhi to ascertain the allegations, who responded by saying that they will provide the documents.
