Rahul’s disqualification ‘betrayal of Gandhian philosophy’, says Ro Khanna

Top Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna said the expulsion of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from Parliament is a “deep betrayal of Gandhian philosophy”. Taking to Twitter on Friday, the Democratic Congressman said: “The expulsion of Rahul Gandhi from Parliament is a deep betrayal of Gandhian philosophy and India’s deepest values. This is not what my grandfather sacrificed years in jail for.”

Flagging off Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his tweet, Khanna said “you have the power to reverse this decision for the the sake of Indian democracy”. The tweet came as a reation to a New York Times report, which said that “the expulsion of Rahul Gandhi is a devastating blow to the once-powerful Indian National Congress party”.

The report further stated that the senior Congress leader and “several other politicians are now in jeopardy through India’s legal system”. On Friday, March 24, Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha a day after a Surat court convicted him for two years in a defamation case.

He has been granted a 30-day bail in the case to allow him appeal in a higher court. “I am fighting for the voice of India and am ready to pay any price,” Rahul had tweeted in Hindi reacting to his disqualification.

“We will fight this battle both legally and politically. We will not be intimidated or silenced. Instead of a JPC into the PM-linked Adani MahaMegaScam, Rahul Gandhi stands disqualified. Indian Democracy Om Shanti,” Jairam Ramesh, Congress General Secretary in-charge Communications, wrote in a tweet. – IANS

BJP Crosses Halfway Mark in Latest Trends, Unlikely to Need ‘Kingmaker’ TMP’s Support

Agartala, March 2:

BJP is leading in 21 seats, as the initial round of counting of votes in Tripura elections is underway. The Left-Congress alliance is leading in 16 seats while Tipra Motha is leading in eight seats.

but the latter not very far behind. BJP crossed the halfway mark in early leads but the numbers have dropped again now, while the Left+ has picked up in the race. The tight fight between BJP and Left+ may lead to the emergence of ex-Royal Pradyot Manikya-led Tipra Motha’s likely emergence as the ‘kingmaker’.

Counting of votes for the assembly election to the 60 constituencies in Tripura began at 8 am with tight security arrangements. According to election officials, there will be around five to eight rounds of counting, while the trends are expected to be clear by noon.

Tripura had recorded a turnout of 89.98 per cent in the assembly election which most exit polls have given a clean sweep to BJP, but some predicted a hung house in the state of Tripura, where a new party – the Tipra Motha – may emerge as a potential kingmaker in the polls, held a week back.

“Prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPC have been clamped across the state from 6 pm on March 1 to 6 am on March 3 to prevent any untoward incident, but essential services and examinees have been kept out of its purview,” as quoted by an election official as saying.

Two Raj youths burnt alive in Haryana, relatives blame cow vigilantism

Jaipur/Chandigarh, Feb 17: The charred remains of two youths kidnapped from Rajasthan’s Bharatpur on suspicion of being cow smugglers were found in an SUV at Bhiwani in neighbouring Haryana.

The relatives of the youths alleged that those who attacked them were Bajrang Dal members and Haryana policemen.

The family alleged that the youths were kidnapped on Wednesday, and 22 hours later the skeletons were found on Thursday, 200 kms away from Bharatpur. The bodies could not be identified immediately, but as the vehicle was the same in which they were abducted, police identified them as Junaid and Naasir.

Sources said one of the deceased was accused of cow smuggling and a case was registered against him.

“This could be a matter related to cow smuggling,” the sources added.

Police and FSL teams are investigating further. The DNA samples have been collected and will be sent soon once it is decided if Rajasthan or Haryana governments will probe, said sources.

Junaid and Naseer were drivers, said SHO Ram Naresh Meena. One Ismael, friends of the duo lodged a missing complaint on Wednesday night that on Wednesday morning when the duo left Bharatpur, they were attacked by Bajrang Dal leaders.

Police officials said that locals informed the Haryana Police that two skeletons were seen in a burnt vehicle near Borwas ki Bani (Bhiwani).

When the Rajasthan Police team reached there, it was found that it was the same vehicle which was mentioned in the missing complaint. Post-mortem was conducted after the family members reached there. Further investigations are in progress.

Bhiwani Superintendent of Police Ajit Singh Shekhawat said they along with Rajasthan Police have started the investigation.

Prima facie it seemed that the duo died after their vehicle was set afire and the accused drove the vehicle to the isolated place to destroy evidence.

In his complaint to the police, Junaid’s brother Ismail accused Bajrang Dal activists, ‘gau rakshaks’ and the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) team of Ferozpur Jhirka in Nuh of first lynching the duo and then setting their bodies ablaze inside the vehicle.

“We have eyewitnesses who say the ‘gau rakshaks’ and the CIA team intercepted the duo. Scared for their lives, they tried to escape but the police rammed their vehicle into the Bolero. People saw the policemen and seven-eight ‘gau rakshaks’ dragging the victims into the CIA vehicle and taking them away.

“After beating them black and blue, the Bajrang Dal activists and the CIA team took them to the police station in Ferozpur Jhirka. But the police personnel there refused to take them into custody in view of their critical condition,” alleged Ismail. –IANS

Pakistan university bans mixed-gender gatherings

Peshawar, Feb 17: 

In a bid to avoid any “untoward incident”, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Gomal University has imposed a complete ban on mixed gatherings of students and coupling (male and female) on its premises, the media reported.

According to a notification issued by the varsity, “It is notified for all the concerned that gathering/coupling (Male & Female) is totally banned in any ground, roads beyond the premises of department.”

The university also directed “female students” to be careful and limit themselves in their classrooms and the department’s common rooms, Geo News reported.

According to the university administration, the decision would help provide a better and safer environment for female students.

Then chairman of the ICIT Department had said the two students had been playing music on a Bluetooth speaker in a teaching area of the varsity.

He had added that their action, “disturbed the classes ongoing in the department at the time”.

TRAU, Aizawl teams lock horns in crucial tie in I-League

TRAU, Aizawl teams lock horns in crucial tie in I-League

Imphal, Feb 17: 

TRAU FC and Aizawl FC have six matches each left in the I-League and a high finish is within reach for both. When they lock horns here at the Khuman Lampak Stadium on Friday, TRAU’s eyes will be on the third spot.

A win will take the Red Pythons to 29 points, overtaking Churchill Brothers and Gokulam Kerala in the process. On the other hand, if Aizawl win, they will level on points with TRAU and Churchill Brothers. That would keep the Reds in a good position for the last four matches as well.

TRAU’s performance has been up and down but the victory against Churchill in the last match must have done a world of good to the squad’s confidence. Coach Leimapokpam Nandakumar Singh, a man of few words, showed that calm confidence in the pre-match press conference on Thursday.

“Our intention is to enter the top five,” he said. “Players are responding very well to the preparations.”

He admitted there is quality in Aizawl ranks, but added, “At this juncture, we have to win. I think tomorrow’s game will be of high intensity and our boys will give a good performance to get three points.”

Aizawl are not low on confidence either. They ran a team like RoundGlass Punjab close in the last match and had won two consecutive matches before that. This is why Nandakumar’s counterpart Caetano Pinho said, “The atmosphere in the camp is very good. We had a very good last match, though the result did not go in our favour. But there’s strong belief among the players that we can play well and take the fight to the higher-ranked teams on the table.”

However, the Aizawl coach is conscious of the challenge awaiting his boys. “TRAU have been a very strong home team,” he said. “We always play to win but because of TRAU’s strength at home, tomorrow we’ll be a bit cautious.”

“However, because of the situation of the table, getting three points tomorrow is crucial for us,” he added.

Pinho made an interesting remark about the Hero I-League, which may acquire more significance as the final positions are decided. He said, “No team is easy to beat in this league. At the same time, no team is unbeatable. All depends on how the players play on a particular day.”

Both teams will be banking on their supporters to provide them with some extra energy for this match. Any match at this venue attracts a good number of local fans and Pinho said he is expecting some fans from Aizawl as well. –IANS

Mumbai: Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw, who plays domestic cricket for Mumbai, was recently attacked by a woman and her friend in the Santa Cruz area of the cricketer’s home turf, Mumbai.

The assailants have been identified as social media influencer Sapna Gill and her friend. Sapna is an actress who has worked in Bhojpuri cinema with industry superstars like Ravi Kishan and Dinesh Lal Yadav.

Sapna, who has a following of 2,19,000 on Instagram, hails from Chandigarh and currently resides in Mumbai. She uploads content ranging from entertainment and dance videos to fashion photos on social media platforms.

She has starred in movies such as ‘Kashi Amarnath’, ‘Nirhua Chalal London’ and, most recently, ‘Mera Watan’, released in 2021.

Gill and her friend had asked for a selfie with Shaw. After initially entertaining their requests, Shaw did not oblige further and a security guard later asked Gill and her friend to leave the premises, according to police.

The altercation happened at a five star property and later when Prithvi left the hotel premises in his car along with his friend, Sapna and her friend along with a few others chased his car, intercepted it at a traffic signal near Oshiwara and broke the windshield. They also demanded Rs 50,000, threatening to file a fake police case.

Elon Musk shuts 2 Twitter offices in India

Twitter has shut down two of its three India offices and directed its employees to work from home, as part of Elon Musk’s mission to cut costs and turn the struggling social media service profitable, the media reported.

Twitter closed its offices in the country’s capital New Delhi and financial hub Mumbai, and continued to operate an office in the southern tech hub of Bengaluru, reports Bloomberg, citing sources.

In November last year, Musk fired more than 90 per cent of its staff in India, around 200-plus.

Globally, Twitter has laid off more than 50 per cent of its staff.

Last month, Musk, who failed to pay the rent for Twitter headquarters in San Francisco, asked its remaining staff in Singapore to stop coming to the office and work remotely as the company has reportedly failed to pay the monthly rent.

According to reports, Twitter employees were informed about the decision via email, instructing them to leave the CapitaGreen building and work from home.

Casey Newton of Platformer said in a tweet, “Twitter employees were just walked out of its Singapore office – its Asia-Pacific headquarters – over nonpayment of rent”.

In the US, Twitter has been sued as it failed to pay $1,36,250 rent for its office space in San Francisco.
