Bengal Assembly Praises Forces; Condemns Attack

The West Bengal Legislative Assembly will present a resolution commending the armed forces for precision strikes post-Pahalgam attack. Debate on June 10.

The West Bengal Assembly will debate a resolution on June 10 praising the armed forces for their precision strikes in Pakistan, following the Pahalgam terrorist attack.

The West Bengal Assembly will introduce a resolution in its upcoming session to hail the armed forces for their coordinated precision strikes in Pakistan in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam.
The resolution, to be tabled by Speaker Biman Banerjee on June 10, will also condemn the terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives, including two from West Bengal.
&ldquo;A resolution will be brought in by Speaker Biman Banerjee lauding the precision strikes by the armed forces against Pakistan during Operation Sindoor last month. The resolution will also condemn the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22,&rdquo; a senior TMC MLA said, after an all-party meeting of the Business Advisory (BA) Committee.
However, the text of the resolution does not specifically mention the term 'Operation Sindoor'.
The monsoon session of the assembly is scheduled to begin on June 9 and will continue for two weeks. The resolution will be taken up for a two-hour discussion on June 10.
Under Operation Sindoor, India carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7.
The operation involved targeted air and ground strikes by Indian forces on multiple terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq criticizes Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Speaker for dismissing a Waqf motion, highlighting successful legislation in Tamil Nadu on similar matters.

J&K Speaker Faces Criticism Over Waqf Motion Dismissal

Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Monday criticised the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly speaker for rejecting the adjournment motion on the Waqf issue.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq criticizes J&K speaker for dismissing Waqf motion

Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Monday criticised the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly speaker for rejecting the adjournment motion on the Waqf issue.

Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Monday criticised the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly speaker for rejecting the adjournment motion on the Waqf issue.
"It is ridiculous and condemnable that Tamil Nadu which only has 6% Muslim population, passes a strong anti-Wakf resolution in its assembly, while the Muslim majority J&amp;K assembly speaker is struggling and refusing, by hiding behind technicalities, to discuss this deeply concerting issue for the Muslims of the state," he said on X.
Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather rejected the adjournment motion, saying the mater was in court.
The Mirwaiz said a huge mandate was given to National Conference in the assembly elections for safeguarding the interests of the people.
"The speaker would know that the strong peoples mandate given to his party was precisely for the reason that the party had promised to safeguard the interests of the people being trampled upon since August 2019 and take a stand for them in critical matters. Why is he capitulating so meekly?" he asked.
The Waqf (Amendment) Bill was passed by Parliament last week. The Act aims to streamline the management of Waqf properties (assets permanently donated by Muslims for religious or charitable purposes) with provisions to safeguard heritage sites, and promote social welfare.
It also seeks to improve governance by enhancing transparency in property management, streamlining coordination between Waqf boards and local authorities and protecting stakeholders' rights.&nbsp;

The clash was sparked by the Speaker adjourning the House within an hour of convening, as a BJP MLA was accused of vandalising a microphone.

BJP MLA 'ripped off mic' in Bihar Assembly, abused others, claims ruling side

The clash was sparked by the Speaker adjourning the House within an hour of convening, as a BJP MLA was accused of vandalising a microphone.

Bihar Assembly proceedings were disrupted on 14 March 2023 as the ruling party and Opposition MLAs trooped into the well. Marshals were called to prevent physical clashes between the legislators.
The clash was sparked by the Speaker adjourning the House within an hour of convening, as a BJP MLA was accused of vandalising a microphone.
CPI(ML)-Liberation MLA Satya Dev Ram claimed that first BJP MLA Lakhendra Raushan tore away a microphone, and then hurled abuses at him. The BJP legislator said that the mic was defective and "came off on its own".

Gujarat Assembly passes resolution against BBC documentary on 2002 riots

Patel's resolution was supported by BJP MLAs Manisha Vakil, Amit Thaker, Dhavalsinh Zala and minister Harsh Sanghavi.

The Gujarat Assembly on Friday passed a resolution requesting the Centre to take strict action against BBC for tarnishing the image and popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with its documentary on the 2002 riots in the state.
The controversial two-part series by the British Broadcasting Corporation titled 'India: The Modi Question' misrepresents the events of 2002 in a malicious and low-level attempt to tarnish India's image globally, Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Vipul Patel said in the House while moving the resolution.
The documentary claims to have probed certain aspects of the riots, which took place after the Godhra train burning incident when Modi was Gujarat chief minister.
The documentary was banned in India soon after its release.
Patel's resolution was supported by BJP MLAs Manisha Vakil, Amit Thaker, Dhavalsinh Zala and minister Harsh Sanghavi.
It was passed by voice vote in the absence of Congress MLAs who were expelled from the House earlier in the day.
After passing the resolution unanimously, Speaker Shanker Chaudhary said the attempt by BBC is "reprehensible" and is "condemned vehemently," adding the House passed the resolution to send its message to the Centre.

Jharkhand politics: CM Hemant Soren proves majority in assembly 

Jharkhand CM has alleged that the opposition BJP is attempting horse-trading to destabilise the government in the state.

Chief Minister Hemant Soren-led ruling coalition in Jharkhand won a majority test in a special session of the assembly.&nbsp;
The confidence motion moved by Soren received 48 votes in favour in the 81-member house amid a boycott by the Opposition BJP, its ally AJSU Party, and two independents.
In his address to the house, Jharkhand CM alleged that the BJP is attempting horse-trading to destabilise the government in the state. Slamming the saffron party, Soren said that the opposition is creating an atmosphere of civil war.&nbsp;
The floor test was held even as uncertainty continued over the CM's political future and that of the ruling coalition.
The political crisis emerged in the state after BJP levelled corruption charges against Soren for allocating a mining lease to himself in 2021 and sought his resignation as an MLA.
In February this year, the BJP submitted a memorandum to the state Governor Ramesh Bais seeking disqualification of Soren from the House under Section 9(A) of the Representation of People's Act.&nbsp;
The Governor had forwarded the BJP complaint to the ECI and it had submitted its decision to the governor. However, the report has not been made public yet.&nbsp;

Amid an intensifying political battle in Delhi, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party is now gunning for Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena. AAP MLAs are reportedly staying at the Delhi Assembly overnight on 29 August 2022 to press for an investigation against LG Saxena for an alleged scam worth ₹1,400 crore.
The ruling party wants Saxena to resign, and CBI and ED to probe him for allegedly changing banned currency notes during his tenure as KVIC chairman in 2016 when demonetisation took place.
Recently, LG Saxena had recommended a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the Delhi government's Excise Policy 2021-22. The move had led to the BJP attacking AAP over an alleged liquor scam.
BJP MLAs would also spend the night on 29 August at the Assembly in protest against the AAP government.
Earlier in the day, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tabled a confidence motion in the Assembly. He said that the trust vote would prove that BJP's "Operation Lotus" to poach AAP MLAs and destabilise the government had failed.

Twelve BJP MLAs were suspended from the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly for one year after the state government accused them of "misbehaving" with presiding officer Bhaskar Jadhav in the Speaker's chamber on Monday.
The motion to suspend the MLAs was moved by state Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anil Parab and passed by a voice vote.
The 12 suspended members are- Sanjay Kute, Ashish Shelar, Abhimanyu Pawar, Girish Mahajan, Atul Bhatkhalkar, Parag Alavani, Harish Pimpale, Yogesh Sagar, Jay Kumar Rawat, Narayan kuche, Ram Satpute and Bunty Bhangdia.
Parab said during the period of suspension, the 12 legislators will not be allowed to enter the Legislature premises in Mumbai and Nagpur.
Objecting to the decision, BJP members, led by Devendra Fadnavis, said the opposition would boycott the House proceedings.
"This is a false allegation and an attempt to reduce the numbers of opposition benches, because we exposed the government's falsehood on the OBC quota in local bodies," Fadnavis said.
He said the BJP members had not abused the presiding officer. "It was Shiv Sena MLAs who used abusive words. I brought our MLAs out of the Speaker's chamber," the leader of opposition said.
Ashish Shelar apologised and the matter ended, the former CM said, claiming that what Jadhav said was a "one-sided" account.
Earlier, NCP leader and minister Nawab Malik accused the BJP members of misbehaving with Bhaskar Jadhav and the state Assembly was adjourned four times over the issue.&nbsp;

Bihar Polls 2020: All You Need to Know

As temperatures dip in some parts of the country, the political heat is rising in Bihar as polling draws near and political parties give their campaigns one final push. &nbsp;
The election for the 243-seat Bihar assembly is being held in 3 phases &ndash; 71 constituencies will vote in the first phase on October 28, 94 seats will go to polls in the second phase on November 3 and third phase on November 7 will cover 78 assembly seats. The ballots will be counted on November 10. &nbsp;
Around 7.29 crore people including nearly 78 lakh first-time voters will decide the fate of political stalwarts like Nitish Kumar and as well as that of rising sons like Tejashwi Yadav and Chirag Paswan. &nbsp;
Alliances have changed since the last Bihar assembly elections in 2015 which saw the RJD, JD(U) and Congress combine come to power. However, Nitish Kumar walked out of this grand alliance in 2017 to return to the BJP-led NDA fold. He continued as the Chief Minister but BJP&rsquo;s Sushil Kumar Modi replaced RJD&rsquo;s Tejashwi Yadav as the Deputy Chief Minister. &nbsp;
2020 might be the younger Yadav scion&rsquo;s year of vengeance as he takes the field as the chief ministerial candidate of the Congress-RJD Mahagathbandhan. The RJD has bagged the lion&rsquo;s share and will be contesting 144 seats, Congress 70 seats and the CPI-ML, CPI and CPI(M) will be contesting a total of 29 seats. The grand alliance is however a few allies short with Vikasheel Insaan Party and former CM Jiten Manjhi&rsquo;s Hindustani Awam Morcha quitting the alliance and joining NDA. &nbsp;
The ruling coalition may have gained 2 allies but it lost 1 very important ally with Lok Janshakti Party led by late Ram Vilas Paswan&rsquo;s son Chirag Paswan deciding to party ways with NDA in Bihar over differences with Nitish Kumar. While the LJP will fight the polls alone, it will field candidates only against JD(U) and not the BJP.&nbsp;
The saffron party is contesting 110 seats, the JD(U) 115 seats and smaller allies Vikasheel Insaan Party and CM Jiten Ram Manjhi&rsquo;s HAM will be fighting from 11 and 7 seats respectively.&nbsp;
There are other minor political parties and alliances in the fray as well. Former NDA ally Upendra Khushwaha&rsquo;s Rashtriya Lok Samta Party has joined hands with Asaduddin Owaisi&rsquo;s AIMIM. Chandrashekhar Azad&rsquo;s Azad Samaj Party has formed an alliance with MP Pappu Yadav&rsquo;s Jan Adhikar Party. &nbsp;
Whether these smaller parties dampen the Diwali festivities of the bigger ones by dividing their votes or Nitish Kumar beats anti-incumbency to retain his chair or an ailing Lalu Yadav sees his son lead his party to victory will be clear when the EVMs are unlocked on November 10. &nbsp;

Patna, PTI: Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Gupteshwar Pandey on Tuesday took voluntary retirement from service, triggering speculations that the outspoken officer would contest the coming state Assembly polls.
Pandey's request seeking voluntary retirement was approved by Governor Phagu Chauhan, a notification issued by the state home department said.
Director General (Homeguards) SK Singhal has been given additional charge of DGP, ADG (Headquarters) Jitendra Kumar told PTI.&nbsp;
Pandey, a 1987 batch IPS officer, was involved in the investigation of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death by suicide in Mumbai.
He had recently been in the headlines for his stout defence of the Nitish Kumar administration when it was under attack from the Shiv Sena-led government in Maharashtra over Bihar Police's probe into the death of Rajput.&nbsp;
He had also courted controversy with his 'aukaat' remark on Rhea Chakraborty.
Bihar Assembly election is likely to be held in October-November.
Pandey had taken premature retirement to contest the Lok Sabha elections in 2009, but later the state government did not accept his VRS application and reinstated him in the service.

United Nations, PTI: China will never seek hegemony, expansion, or sphere of influence, President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday. He added that Beijing has no intention to fight either a "Cold War" or a "hot war" with any country.
Xi also said that China will continue to narrow the differences and resolve disputes with others through negotations, in comments that came in the backdrop of the tense military standoff between Chinese and Indian armies in eastern Ladakh for over four months.
Addressing the general debate of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, he said, "We will continue to narrow differences and resolve disputes with others through dialogue and negotiation." "We will never seek hegemony, expansion, or sphere of influence. We have no intention to fight either a Cold War or a hot war with any country," Xi said in a pre-recorded video message to the UN meeting.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a surprise visit to Ladakh on July 4, had said the era of expansionism is over and that the history is proof that "expansionists" have either lost or perished, in comments that were seen as a clear message to China.
Xi, also the General Secretary of the ruling Communist Party of China and the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese military, said his country will not pursue development behind closed doors.
"Rather, we aim to foster, over time, a new development paradigm with domestic circulation as the mainstay and domestic and international circulations reinforcing each other. This will create more space for China's economic development and add impetus to global economic recovery and growth," he said.
The Chinese president also addressed the issue of the Covid-19 pandemic and international criticism about China's attempts to supress details about the outbreak.
"Facing the virus, we should enhance solidarity and get this through together. We should follow the guidance of science, give full play to the leading role of the World Health Organization, and launch a joint international response to beat this pandemic. Any attempt of politicising the issue or stigmatisation must be rejected," Xi said.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump blasted China on Tuesday for "unleashing&rdquo; the plague of the "China virus&rdquo; onto the world, demanding that the United Nations must hold Beijing accountable for failing to contain the coronavirus that has killed nearly one million people across the world, including 200,000 Americans.
Trump demanded that China, where the coronavirus emerged, be held accountable for failure to control the virus and for allowing it to spread across the world.
"As we pursue this bright future, we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world: China,&rdquo; he said.
The Covid-19 pandemic has so far infected over 30 million people and more than 958,000 people have died. The US, with 6.7 million infections, crossed the grim milestone of 200,000 deaths.

PTI, Patna:&nbsp;Kickstarting JD(U) campaign for Bihar Assembly polls, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday highlighted the development works done by his government in the past 15 years and asked party workers to tell new generation about the difference between the NDA and the RJD regimes.
Kumar raked up the issue of former minister Chandrika Rai's daughter Aishwarya Rai, estranged wife of RJD president Lalu Prasads elder son Tej Pratap Yadav.
Their marriage has broken and the matter is pending in a Patna court.
Kumar also refered about Jai Vardhan Yadav, grandson of former union minister Ram Lakhan Singh Yadav.
Chandrika Rai and Jai Vardhan Yadav, both RJD MLAs and hailing from yadav caste, recently switched over to JD(U).
Kumar was addressing partys virtual rally named "Nischay Samvad" which was broadcast live through newly launched digital platform jdulive.com from Karpoori Thakur Sabhagar (conference hall) at the party office here.
The rally was also available on facebook, twitter and TV channels.
Thakur was a veteran socialist leader who served as chief minister of Bihar.
"I want to know what happened with former CM Daroga Prasad Rais son Chandrika Rai and his daughter Aishwarya Rai.
What kind of treatment was meted out to Aishwarya Rai.
"She is well educated. People talk on education and see what happened to educated people. This is a family matter on which I do not want to say anything, Kumar said taking an apparent dig at the RJD supremo and his family.
Stating that the state has witnessed an all-round development during the NDAs 15 years rule, Kumar said that law and order, education, health, road, energy, agriculture etc. witnessed a noticeable change during the period.
He talked about prohibition in Bihar and made it clear that its going to stay in the state till he is in power.
Kumar cited the central government data of 2018 to show that Bihars law and order situation was much better than many other states.
Bihar stands at 23rd rank in overall crime figures while it figures 33rd in rape cases and 29th in crime against women in the latest report of the Union government, he said to drive home the point.&nbsp;
