People will decide: Shah mounts attack on Oppn
NEW DELHI: Amid a ruckus in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday as Home Minister Amit Shah introduced a Bill aimed at bringing the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and Union or state ministers under the ambit of law, Shah launched a sharp attack on the Congress-led Opposition, saying the people of the country must decide whether it is right for a leader to run the government while in jail. Shah said the Constitution Amendment Bill, tabled with the consent of the Lok Sabha Speaker, seeks to ensure key constitutional positions cannot be held by those who are incarcerated. Now, the people of the country will have to decide whether it is right for a minister, CM, or PM to run the government while lodged in jail, he said, highlighting the Modi governments commitment to fighting political corruption. Targetting the Congress, Shah accused the Opposition of opposing the Bill to remain above the law. Shah said Prime Minister Modi has introduced a constitutional amendment to bring himself under the ambit of the law, while on the other, the Opposition has opposed it to continue running governments from behind bars. He cited past instances, including the 39th Constitutional Amendment under Indira Gandhi, which gave the Prime Minister special protection against legal action. While the Congresss work culture and policy have been to place the prime minister above the law through constitutional amendments, the BJPs policy is to bring our own prime minister, ministers and chief ministers under the ambit of law, Shah asserted. The Home Minister said the purpose of the Bill is to restore moral standards and integrity in politics. Among its provisions, it bars jailed individuals from functioning as PM, CM, or minister. Accused politicians must secure bail within 30 days of arrest. If they fail, they will cease to hold their position, though they may be reinstated once granted bail through due legal process. Shah also addressed personal remarks made against him in the House, saying he had resigned from his post even before being arrested in a politically-motivated case, which was later dismissed. He contrasted his conduct with that of Congress leaders, citing instances where they shielded leaders like Lalu Prasad Yadav from legal action. The Home Minister reiterated that the Bill reflects the Modi governments commitment to moral governance and public accountability. The Bill will now go to the Joint Parliamentary Committee for detailed discussion, he added.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav criticized the government's bill proposing the removal of ministers detained on serious charges, alleging it's a tactic to blackmail leaders like Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu. He cited examples of previously jailed and acquitted Chief Ministers, suggesting the bill aims to weaken democracy and pressure specific political figures.
A New Wave: this documentary explores the fond relationship between people and radios
Id sit alone and watch your light, my only friend through teenage nights, and everything I had to know, I heard it on my radio, these lines crooned by Freddie Mercury in the hit classic Radio Ga Ga , captured the relationship that young people growing up in the golden age of radio shared with it. Many of those young people, much older now, still hang on to this intimate and nostalgic relationship, refusing to let it be relegated to the past. My Radio My Life , an award-winning documentary set to be screened in the city, captures these stories. Co-director Makarand Waikar explains, The concept was to archive it as a documentary so that anyone in the future, would know what relationship people had with the radio in an era without internet or mobile phones, when everyone depended on newspapers, magazines, and news from the radio. He adds, Several people made decisions based on the radio, they considered it a friend, philosopher, and a guide. The documentary features the stories of six people spread across India, including Uday Kalburgi, a Bengaluru-based radio-restorer, who has founded a museum dedicated to radios. Also included are the stories of V Nallathambi, a Tamil radio announcer in The Voice of America who announced the Apollo 11 landing to Tamil listeners, radio announcers Yunus Khan and Mamta Singh, along with Bharathi Prasad a HAM radio enthusiast with friends across the globe, and a librarian who tirelessly tries to restore his broken radio. Through them, the documentary weaves together fascinating stories of the radio. The documentary does not confine itself to nostalgia, with a group of school students developing a radio programme for the internet. The relationship with the radio may change but you never know what is going to happen in the future. These school students in Mumbai are preparing a radio programme to broadcast over the internet. The message we wanted to give is that golden era is over, but who knows, there may be a platinum era coming up, comments Waikar. With screenings in 36 countries, over 80 film festivals, and colleges across India, the documentary has reached diverse audiences across age groups. The team has deliberately left some things unexplained, not wanting to be an educational documentary but one that facilitates conversations. Three generations used to come together around the radio in the evenings which is a concept that doesnt exist today with everyone on separate devices, says Waikar, adding, We have not explained everything in the film. For example, there is this concept called radio license which most people are not aware of. You can buy a radio, but you can switch it on only if you have a license at home. We have showed the license in the film, but we want the audience to hear an explanation from someone else in the family, who may say, Oh, yes, I used to go to the post office on the first of January each year to get it renewed.

'Strange people' visiting Assam, will be arrested if they 'cross limits': CM Himanta Sarma
GUWAHATI: Claiming that some strange people from different parts of the country were visiting Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said they will be arrested if they cross limits. Speaking to reporters at the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), where he went on Monday night following the death of a newborn , Sarma said these people were advocates from Mumbai and Kerala. We are keeping a track of them. They had also come when the NRC was being updated in the state, and spoiled the entire exercise. During the NRC process, the government did not pay much attention to these visits, but now we are keeping an eye on each one of them, and if they step beyond the limits of the rules, they will be arrested, he said. We will not tolerate any fundamentalist activities or politics on sensitive issues, whether they come from Kerala, Mumbai or Delhi. These are fundamentalists who promote and protect activities of certain sections, he added. A four-day-old infant died at the GMCH on Monday morning after being found hanging from the wires of a medical device inside the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). With the newborn's family members alleging negligence against the on-duty staff, the state government ordered an inquiry into the incident. Assam CM launches portal through which indigenous people can apply for arms licences Sarma said it was a case of negligence, and an inquiry committee has been constituted to take strong and effective action against those found to be guilty. The CM, meanwhile, alleged that during the NRC process, hese people created false records by taking advantage of the same names of individuals and entering the names of those who did not deserve to be on the list. He claimed that the creation of false kins of people who already lived in the state from before had happened due to the rain of some individuals, like social activist Harsh Mander. These issues have come to light now. During the last five years, we have found many such anomalies, and we are now ready to submit the same to the Supreme Court, he said. Sarma said a team from the BBC had visited Uriamghat, the place where the largest eviction drive took place recently, but we did not allow them to enter the forest area. We had made it absolutely clear that to enter the forest, one would need prior permission. We are taking actions bravely this time, and we will not allow any individual or group to take advantage of these issues, he said. Without naming Congress MP Gourav Gogoi directly, Sarma alleged that his Farm2Food NGO was funded by Hungarian-American investor George Soros, and stated that the initial funding for the University of Science of Technology, Meghalaya (USTM) also needs to be examined. I am saying this directly, and they can file a case against me. A lot of politics involving Assam is being carried out. I did not realise this earlier as I was the health minister, but now with increased cooperation of the Centre, these matters come to our notice and we can take immediate action, he said. Sarma alleged that AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal and Jamat-Ulema-i-Hind leader Mehmood Madani promised to build homes for those affected during the Kokrajhar violence in 2013-14, but hey did not do so with their own money but with funding from outside. The CM said the efforts of the state government to evict encroachment will continue, and both the Supreme Court and the Gauhati High Court have already given necessary orders in this direction.

Traffic crawls on roads to Chennai as people return after I-Day weekend
CHENNAI: As the extended three-day weekend drew to a close, there was heavy vehicular movement and bottlenecks at multiple points as hundreds of residents who had travelled to their hometown or tourist destinations outside Chennai began returning on Sunday evening. Key stretches that witnessed congestion included Perungalathur near Tambaram, and Padalam and Pukkathurai close to Chengalpattu. Intermittent rainfall in and around Tambaram added to the traffic woes. According to sources, traffic slowed considerably near the Perungalathur flyover as a large number of vehicles attempted to merge onto the elevated stretch at the same time. To manage the volume and prevent long pileups, traffic police personnel stationed along the route regulated the flow of vehicles, the source added. Further down, Padalam and Pukkathurai witnessed sluggish movement for nearly two kilometres owing to the ongoing construction work being carried out by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The travel time to cross the section, which is usually quick, has now increased by an additional 5-10 minutes, another source pointed out. Adding to the heavy vehicle inflow were not just private cars, but also MTC and private buses. As a result, roads adjoining major bus stands and railway stations experienced intermittent jams during the evening peak hours when traffic volume picked up further. The vicinity of Perungalathur bus stop, Chengalpattu railway station, and Urapakkam-Tambaram stretch were among the worst-affected. Officials from the Chengalpattu traffic police said they had anticipated the surge and adequate personnel and officers were deployed in advance.
