Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court instructs Home Ministry to resolve Rahul Gandhi's citizenship issue in four weeks amidst ongoing legal and political scrutiny.

Court Orders Resolution on Gandhi's Nationality

The Lucknow bench mandates a four-week decision timeline on Rahul Gandhi's citizenship amid allegations. Parallel legal proceedings raise national attention.

High Court Demands Swift Decision on Rahul Gandhi's Citizenship Issue

High Court instructs Home Ministry to decide on Rahul Gandhi's citizenship in four weeks, amid allegations and dual court proceedings.

The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has directed the Home Ministry to decide within four weeks on the contentious issue of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's citizenship, dismissing the ministry's request for an eight-week extension.
Concerns about Mr. Gandhi's citizenship have persisted for years. Originally a Lok Sabha MP from 2004 and presently the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Gandhi&rsquo;s nationality has been questioned in a new petition.
This petition, brought forward by a Karnataka-based BJP worker named Shishir, also seeks an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Shishir claims to possess confidential emails supporting his assertion that Mr. Gandhi is included in the UK&rsquo;s citizenship records.
"We have direct communication from the UK government," he informed NDTV, citing documents that suggest Mr. Gandhi holds dual citizenship, which is prohibited under Indian law.
Last November, Justices Rajan Roy and Om Prakash Shukla, in response to the ongoing petition, instructed Deputy Solicitor General SB Pandey to file directions about any action taken on this plea. The Home Ministry was initially given three weeks to respond, which remains pending.
Parallel to this, the Delhi High Court is addressing a similar plea filed by former BJP MP Subramanian Swamy in 2019.
Mr. Swamy, who first made these allegations in 2015, argued before Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya and Justice TR Gedela that his correspondence on Mr. Gandhi's citizenship went unanswered.
Notably, Mr. Swamy's allegations rest on records from a defunct British company, established in 2003, which purportedly identified Mr. Gandhi as a UK national.
The Congress party has consistently refuted these allegations. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Mr. Gandhi's sister, has publicly supported him, stating, "Everyone knows Rahul Gandhi is Indian and was born and raised here..." Rahul Gandhi himself has dismissed these claims as an attempt to tarnish his reputation.
The Delhi High Court has expressed concern about the dual proceedings, as the matter is being heard both in Allahabad and Delhi. The court has questioned the central government's seeming reluctance to act on these petitions.

The Union Home Ministry has instructed Maharashtra to take action against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. This comes after concerns raised by Shiv Sena MPs, including Milind Deora, following an attack on actor Saif Ali Khan by a Bangladeshi national.

Home Ministry instructs Maharashtra govt to act on illegal Bangladeshi immigrants

The Union Home Ministry has instructed Maharashtra to take action against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. This comes after concerns raised by Shiv Sena MPs, including Milind Deora, following an attack on actor Saif Ali Khan by a Bangladeshi national.

The Union Home Ministry has instructed the Maharashtra government to take stringent action against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in the state. This directive came through a letter sent from the Union Home Ministry in Delhi to Maharashtra's Home Department officials.&nbsp;
The move followed a representation by former Shiv Sena MP Rahul Shewale, who raised concerns about illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, citing a report from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) on the issue.
On Tuesday, Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora urged the government to swiftly deport Bangladeshis residing illegally in the state to ensure "Mumbai's safety."&nbsp;
Deora stated, "I have written a letter to the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and urged that wherever any Bangladeshi is living illegally, should be deported as soon as possible. The incident that happened at Saif Ali Khan's house is very worrying."&nbsp;
He added that an audit of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants across the state was essential to "make Mumbai more safe" and called for strict action against agencies that fail to verify documents before hiring individuals.
The urgency followed an incident where actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed in the thoracic spine by an intruder, identified as Mohd Shariful Islam Shehzad, a Bangladeshi national.&nbsp;
The intruder reportedly entered Khan's home with the intent to steal. Khan was rushed to Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital for treatment and was discharged on Tuesday, returning home.
In a separate legal development, three Bangladeshi nationals were sentenced to prison and fined by Mumbai's 8th Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) after being found guilty of illegally entering India and living with forged documents.&nbsp;
The verdict, issued by Addl CJM Kanchan Zanwar, was based on evidence provided by the Crime Branch of Mumbai Police.

It further added that the Prime Minister's car was stuck on the flyover as it was blocked by the protesters and that amounted to a major lapse in his security. 
The Union Home Ministry has sought a report from the Punjab govt saying that it failed to make necessary arrangements for logistics, security as well as keep a contingency plan ready. The state govt has also been asked to fix responsibility for the lapse.

A panel originally set up for suggesting reforms in the Indian Penal Code (IPC) will now propose a separate section on &ldquo;offences relating to speech and expression&rdquo; and will attempt to define &ldquo;hate speech" according to an exclusive report by The Hindu.
The report says that there is no clear definition of what constitutes &ldquo;hate speech&rdquo; in the IPC. The Committee for Reforms in Criminal Laws, constituted by the Home Ministry, is attempting for the first time to define such speech. The committee is expected to submit its report soon. 
Earlier this month, observing that an extreme or harsh point of view would not amount to hate speech, the Bombay High Court quashed an FIR against a Navi Mumbai resident. The court said, the right to express one&rsquo;s views is a protected and cherished right in our democracy, just because the point of view of the petitioner is extreme or harsh will not make it a hate speech.
On April 30, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a plea challenging the legal validity of Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) that deals with the offence of sedition.
