  • ‘Name Selja As CM Candidate’: Haryana BJP Dares Rahul, Cong To Prove SC Support |

    The Haryana unit of ruling BJP on Wednesday dared Congress to declare Kumari Selja as its chief ministerial candidate for the state assembly polls, to prove how committed it is to the well-being of the SC community. The state BJP also said they nominate Nayab Singh Saini, who belongs to the OBC category, a chief minister. Saini is also the BJP’s chief ministerial face for the upcoming assembly elections, scheculed for October 1.

    “The BJP has already nominated a chief minister from the backward class. Rahul Gandhi claims to strongly support the SC community. Let them (Congress) declare Selja ji as the chief ministerial candidate from Haryana so that one can know how much of a well-wisher of the (SC) community they are,” Haryana BJP posted on X in Hindi.

    Notably, Selja, who is a Lok Sabha MP from Sirsa, is a prominent Dalit face of the Congress.Former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who is considered as Selja’s bete noire, had recently asserted that he is “neither tired, nor retired” but said the Congress high command will take a call on who would be the chief minister after getting a majority in the assembly elections.

    Months after winning the Lok Sabha polls from Sirsa, the former Union minister Selja had also indicated her desire to contest the upcoming assembly elections and said she wishes to work in the state but the high command will take a final call on the matter.

    Meanwhile, reacting to BJP’s post on X, Haryana Congress president Udai Bhan told PTI over phone that the ruling party should worry about itself as its government in the state was on its way out.

    Speaking about selection of the chief ministerial candidate, Bhan said Congress MLAs and the party high command will take a call on who would serve as the chief minister only after the poll results are out.

    He also said that the party had earlier nominated leaders from the Dalit community as chief ministers in four states, including Punjab and Maharashtra.

    “The BJP should tell whom they have made a CM from the SC community. Moreover, they should tell if they declared Bhajan Lal Sharma as CM candidate when they fought the last assembly elections in Rajasthan. Did they fight the polls (in MP) on Mohan Yadav’s face. In Haryana, did they fight polls in 2014 with Manohar Lal Khattar as their face?,” Bhan asked.

    He further said that Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Rajasthan Assembly Tika Ram Jully come from the Dalit community.

    Bhan said, “One thing is clear: the BJP has accepted that Congress is coming to power in Haryana…”

    “That is why they are coming up with excuse of string of holidays falling around the polling date of October 1 and writing to Election Commission to defer the polls by some days… We are saying even if polling is held even before October 1, we have no objection and we are ready,” he added.

    The Haryana BJP had last week written to the Election Commission requesting a brief postponement of the Assembly polls slated for October 1, citing holidays before and after the election date that could lead to lower voter turnout.

  • ‘Enough is enough now, I am disappointed and scared’, President Draupadi Murmu expressed anger over the Kolkata rape case, said- After the Nirbhaya incident, society has forgotten countless incidents of rape

    Kolkata Rape Case: The country’s President Draupadi Murmu has expressed strong displeasure over the rape and murder of a female doctor in Kolkata. During a media interview, President Murmu said that she is shocked and saddened by the incident of rape and murder of a female doctor in Kolkata.

    No civilised society can allow such atrocities on daughters and sisters.” President Draupadi Murmu said, “While students, doctors and citizens are protesting in Kolkata, criminals are lurking elsewhere looking for victims. Now this is enough.” On crimes against women, President Murmu said, “Society needs to introspect with honesty, fairness. People have to ask themselves some tough questions. Often people with a hateful mindset consider women inferior to themselves. They see women as less powerful, less capable, less intelligent.”

    After the Nirbhaya incident, society forgot countless incidents of rape

    Draupadi Murmu said, “In the 12 years since the Nirbhaya incident, society has forgotten countless incidents of rape. This collective habit of forgetting is disgusting. Only a society that is afraid to face its history resorts to forgetting things.” On the need to face this perversion together, President Murmu said, “Now the time has come for India to face its history fully. We need to face this perversion together, so that it can be nipped in the bud.” The President said, “Let us deal with this perversion comprehensively to stop it at the very beginning.”

  • Congress’s dharna on deteriorating law and order situation in the state: Former MLA Vikas Upadhyay said- BJP government has pushed Raipur along with the state towards crime…

    Raipur. Under the leadership of former MLA of Raipur West and Lok Sabha candidate Vikas Upadhyay, Congressmen today attacked the BJP government by organizing a one-day dharna at the historic Kabir Chowk of Ramnagar. Upadhyay said that the BJP government of 08 months has gifted only crime to the people of the state in return for their trust. He said that the people of the state have been gifted heinous crimes including murder, loot, robbery, theft, chain snatching, drug trade, illegal liquor sale, gambling, betting etc.

    On the other hand, criminals are emboldened under the protection of the BJP government. Murders take place openly on the streets of Ramnagar and then the criminals make it viral live on social media. Before any police action is taken against the criminal, the current BJP government does not react to it, rather they call to not take any action against him. The current government and the current MLA are sitting blindfolded and the previous Congress government had even started the tender process for opening a police post in Ramnagar, but the current MLA is not allowing it to start due to his stubbornness. Due to this, a murder-like incident took place in the same area where the police post was to be opened. Today, in protest against this, the general public and Congressmen held a one-day dharna at the historic Kabir Chowk in Ramnagar against the working style of the BJP government and the MLA.

    Vikas Upadhyay said that two days ago, the convoy of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was stopped, the soldiers deployed for his security were pushed and misbehaved with, stones were pelted at his car and when the Congress Party staged a peaceful protest against this yesterday, the people who had identified those who stopped the convoy were identified and lathi-charged. A Congress delegation will meet the DGP tomorrow at 3 pm regarding the attack on the convoy of former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and the lapse in his security.

    Upadhyay said that in the Congress government of former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, there was complete control over criminals and crime, whereas criminal cases are increasing continuously in the entire state including West Assembly, Raipur city and the morale of the criminals is high. Did we elect them as MLAs to see these days, did we elect the government to bring such a situation, the Bharatiya Janata Party government is working to set a peaceful state like Chhattisgarh on fire and to mislead the public, the Chief Minister and his ministers, MLAs are saying on social media that we have built it, we will improve it. Whereas the real situation is that BJP did not build it but is definitely working to spoil the state of Chhattisgarh. If the Bharatiya Janata Party government is not able to curb crime in the coming days, then the day is not far when the public will be forced to protest violently on the streets.

    Today in the protest at the historic Kabir Chowk Ramnagar, along with Vikas Upadhyay, city president Girish Dubey, block president Daulal Sahu, Devkumar Sahu, Ashok Singh Thakur, Shrikumar Menon, Babita Nathani, Dhananjay Thakur, councilor Maniram Sahu, Sundar Lal Jogi, Dr. Annu Ram Sahu, Prakash Jagat, Varendra Sahu, Rajesh Pal, Sohan Sharma, Tarun Shrivas, Bhagwat Sahu, Shiv Singh Thakur, Vikas Agarwal, Ritesh Tripathi, Kamalkant Shukla, Sohan Sahu, Lucky Thakur, Dinesh Thakur, Khushboo Kedia, Ishwari Namdev, Ajay Tiwari, Pammi Chopra, Shanu Diwan, Yogesh Tiwari, Ritesh Sahu, Demendra Yadav, Niranjan Pathari, Ajit Jagat, Ramdas Kurre, Kamat Sahu, Sonu Yadav, Ishwar Chakradhari, Prakash Das Manikpuri, Ishwar Jangde, Kundan Sinha, Suraj Sahu, Ajay Nishad, Dilip Gupta, Raju Tatibandh, Mukesh Chaudhary, Hemlal Nayak, Rukmani Yadav, Bhim Yadav, Bhupendra Shergill and a large number of Congress colleagues were present. are.

  • TRAI Convenes Meeting To Protect Consumers From Harms Of Spam And Fraud |

    New Delhi: Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) convened a meeting of the Joint Committee of Regulators (JCoR) to protect consumers from harms of spam and fraud; ensure more secure and efficient telecom ecosystem.

    In his address, TRAI Chairman Anil Kumar Lahoti stressed the need for a joint effort to tackle the problem of spam messages and calls.

    The meeting was held on August 27, 2024, at TRAI headquarters in New Delhi. Members of the JCoR from IRDAI, PFRDA, RBI, SEBI, MoCA, MeitY, and TRAI attended the meeting. Additionally, DoT and MHA representatives joined as special guests. The JCoR serves as a collaborative platform to examine regulatory implications in the digital age and work collaboratively on regulatory frameworks.

    Lahoti urged the regulators to discuss and enable implementation of (i) whitelisting of URLs, APKs, OTT links and call back numbers to be sent in SMS, (ii) migration of existing telemarketers making promotional calls to 140 series on DLT platform, and (iii) declaration of entire chain of telemarketers engaged by them for PE-TM chain binding.

    The meeting explored potential collaborative efforts and strategies to address UCC and fraud through telecom resources. The key issues discussed are as given below-

     

    – Role of Entities in Whitelisting of URLs, APKs, OTT links, and call back numbers in the content templates and ensuring the traceability of all the messages from Senders to recipients – Many instances of misuse of headers and templates have been observed. Fraud takes place through the transmission of malicious links using the variable parts of the messages. In case of misuse of headers and content templates, it is difficult to find the entity that pushed the traffic. Therefore, mandatory whitelisting of URLs, APKs, OTT links, or call back numbers, and declaration of entire chain of telemarketers engaged by them for PE-TM chain binding as per the timelines fixed by TRAI’s latest Directions needs to be enforced.

    – Addressing the issue of entities using PRI/ SIP channels for making unsolicited calls – Many business entities make commercial voice calls using SIP/ PRI lines with hundreds of indicators in violation of TRAI’s regulations. These entities should be migrated to the designated 140 series for making promotional calls. Also, there is an urgent need to take firm action, without further delay, on spammers who are using PRI/ SIP/ bulk connections for making promotional voice calls/ Robo calls/ Pre-recorded calls.

    – Leveraging the DCA system established by telecom service providers to obtain digital consent from consumers – DCA system will be of great value to the entities, not only for messaging services, but also for voice calls. It permits the delivery of Messages and calls to the recipients despite their DND preference. The technical infrastructure for DCA is now in place. Regulators were requested to ask the entities under their jurisdiction to start using this facility in time bound manner.

    – Use of 160 series by the Entities for making service and transactional calls for easy identification by the consumers – 160 series has been allocated exclusively for Service and Transactional Calls. A Pilot Study was commissioned by TRAI and RBI to determine the technical feasibility of various options, the outcome of the same was discussed.

    – Enhancing information exchange among regulators to control frauds using telecom resources – Emphasis was given to exchange information available with various regulators on their platforms and for its effective utilisation to control frauds.

     

  • West Indies Whitewash South Africa 3-0 In T20 Series, Shai Hope’s Unbeaten 42 Guides WI To 8 Wicket Win In The Last Match | cricket news

    West Indies completed a 3-0 T20I series whitewash of the T20 World Cup 2024 finalists South Africa with an eight-wicket win via the DLS method in the third and final match of the series at the Brian Lara Stadium.

    Their outright dominance over the Proteas stretches back to March 2023. In their last ten encounters, the Caribbean side has tasted victory eight times, including back-to-back 3-0 series win over South Africa.

    South Africa had to wait for an opportunity to put on a “better show” in the final game of an enticing series after rain delayed the game by an hour.

    No overs were lost when the play resumed. However, after a second delay due to rain, which came midway through the fifth over of South Africa’s innings, took more than an hour out of the game. As a result, the game was cut short to 13 overs a side.

    While chasing the adjusted target of 116, the West Indies suffered an early blow after Alick Athanaze was back in the dressing room just four balls into the chase. Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran went on a rampage that completely derailed South Africa’s hopes of avoiding a clean sweep.

    Pooran (35) mistimed his shot straight to Jason Smith off Ottneil Baartman. But the damage was already done. Shimron Hetmyer (31*) applied the finishing touches and sealed an 8-wicket win via the DLS method. Hope cleared the boundary rope for a maximum and ended the chase with an unbeaten 42-run knock.

    After being put to bat, South Africa struggled in the absence of individual contributions. The lack of strong individual contributions was a constant theme for the Proteas throughout the three-match series.

    Captain Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs showed intent to push South Africa’s score, but the entire batting unit was kept quiet by the spin duo of Akeal Hosein and stand-in skipper Roston Chase. The duo combined to concede just 22 runs in five overs between them.

    South Africa’s woes began when the opening duo of Reeza Hendricks and Ryan Rickelton failed to provide a fiery start.

    Hendricks never found the timing he yearned for and returned to the pavilions with 9(20). Rickelton kept on going and managed to pick up a couple of fours and sixes but lost his wicket to Romario Shepherd.

    Stubbs was the only player who stood out with his exceptional stroke play. While relying on his fearless approach, the 24-year-old scored 40 runs at a whopping strike rate of 266.67. His effort powered the Proteas to 108/4.

    Brief Score: West Indies 116/2 (Shai Hope 42*, Nicholas Pooran 35; Bjorn Fortuin 1-8) vs South Africa 108/4 (Tristan Stubbs 40; Romario Shepherd 2-14).

  • Bail Is Rule And Jail Is Exception Is Applicable Even In Money Laundering Cases: SC |

    New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday held that even in money laundering cases, bail is a rule and jail is an exception, and granted relief to Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s aide in an illegal mining related case registered by the Enforcement Directorate.

    A bench of Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan said the court has held that even in cases under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), “bail is a rule and jail is an exception.”

    The bench said no person should be deprived of its liberty and section 45 of the PMLA which lays down twin conditions for bail of an accused in a money laundering case does not rewrite the principle to mean that deprivation of liberty is the norm.

    The top court referred to the August 9 verdict in the money laundering and corruption cases involving former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia to say that liberty of the individual is always the rule and deprivation of it by procedure established by law is the exception.

    “Twin test under section 45 of the PMLA does not take away this principle,” the bench held.

    It granted bail to one Prem Prakash, who is alleged to be a close aide of Soren by the ED and has been accused of being involved in illegal mining in the state.

    The top court set aside the March 22 order of the Jharkhand High Court denying him bail and directed the trial court to expedite the trial in the case.
