Harjinder Singh Kukreja and Harkirat Kaur Kukreja Re-register from Hindu Marriage Registration to Anand Marriage Act, Setting a Trend

Harjinder Singh Kukreja and Harkirat Kaur Kukreja, a prominent Sikh couple from Ludhianas Punjab renowned for their influential social and cultural advocacy through their travels and influence online, have taken a significant step by re-registering their marriage under the Anand Marriage Act. This act marks a crucial milestone in the Sikh community's effort to secure recognition for its matrimonial traditions, which are distinct from those recognised under the Hindu Marriage Act. Originally enacted in 1909, the Anand Marriage Act was meaningfully amended only in 2012, and though the rules were officially set into motion on December 16, 2016, after publication in the Official Gazette, the actual issuance of marriage certificates under this law began only recently. This move by the Kukrejas aims to affirm the unique cultural identity of Sikh marriages within the legal framework of India. Harjinder Singh Kukreja and Harkirat Kaur Kukreja are among the first to re-register their marriage from the Hindu to the Anand Marriage Act, setting a significant precedent for others in their community. The Kukrejas, motivated by a deep commitment to their faith and heritage, initiated the process to switch their marriage registration to the Anand Marriage Act as a reflection of their belief and to set a precedent for other Sikh couples. This movement isnt just about personal milestones; its about igniting a broader awareness and adoption of the Anand Marriage Act across India, where implementation has been uneven and awareness sparse. Harjinder Singh Kukreja expressed his profound connection to the Act, stating, Aligning our marriage with the Anand Marriage Act is not only a personal joy but a strong statement of our identity as Sikhs. Harkirat Kaur Kukreja added, This isnt just about us; its about setting a precedent. If our actions can inspire other Sikh couples to embrace their legal rights under the Anand Marriage Act, we consider it a victory for our community. The movement to have Sikh marriages recognized under a separate legal framework has historical roots, with advocates like Tikka Ripudaman Singh of Nabha initially championing the cause. The campaign continued over generations, finding support from significant figures including former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, whose administration passed the Anand Marriage (Amendment) Bill in 2012. The re-registration comes at a time when the implementation of the Anand Marriage Act has seen varied enthusiasm across states. Despite being officially amended and notified, many regions remain sluggish in its adoption, with governmental and bureaucratic inertia slowing down its widespread acceptance. This lackadaisical approach has, at times, discouraged Sikh couples from seeking registration under the Act, despite its availability since 2016. It was only In June 2023, the Anand Marriage Act was implemented in Chandigarh, the capital of Punjab. This pivotal change has only recently allowed Sikh couples to register their marriages under a law that reflects their unique religious customs. Punjabs Chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann, recently reaffirmed his commitment to the Act, recognizing the cultural and legal significance of the legislation. The Anand Marriage Acts implementation is crucial not just for the sanctity of Sikh matrimonial rites but as a matter of rightful legal recognition of our distinct cultural practices, said CM Mann. The Kukrejas decision is seen as a landmark in the Sikh communitys fight for legal recognition and respect for their matrimonial customs. It echoes the communitys larger struggle for identity affirmation and legal acknowledgment, which has spanned over a century. By re-registering their marriage under the Anand Marriage Act, Harjinder and Harkirat Kaur Kukreja hope to catalyze a broader cultural and legal shift that respects and recognizes Sikh matrimonial rites on equal footing with other religious practices in India. Their story is not just a legal formalization of a marital bond but a resonant chapter in the narrative of Sikh identity and advocacy, offering hope and direction to many who wish to see their traditions honored and upheld by the law. It stands as a testament to the power of personal conviction and the potential impact of leading by example in inspiring change and fostering a more inclusive and respectful society.

Chautala clan clash set to spice up Haryana's Hisar turf

CHANDIGARH : It is a fight between the Chautala clan in Hisar, with bahus versus sasur in the Hisar Lok Sabha seat in the upcoming elections. The cousin sisters-in-law are pitted against each other and against their cousin father-in-law. On Thursday, the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) declared Sunaina Chautala, wife of Ravi Chautala and granddaughter of former Deputy Prime Minister Devi Lal, as the partys candidate from the Hisar Lok Sabha seat. She is all set to take on Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) candidate Naina Singh Chautala, a two-time MLA and mother of former Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, and Ranjit Chautala of the BJP. Thus, a family feud is set to unfold openly in the electoral scene in Hisar. The Indian National Lok Dal on Thursday declared three candidates for the Lok Sabha elections: senior party leader Abhay Singh Chautala from Kurukshetra, Sunaina Chautala from Hisar, and Gurpreet Singh from the Ambala (reserved) seat. Sunaina, who is the general secretary of the womens wing of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), was announced as the partys candidate from the Hisar Lok Sabha seat. Her husband, Ravi Chautala, is the cousin brother of INLD MLA Abhay Singh Chautala from the Ellenabad assembly seat and was also active in politics some time ago. Ravi Chautala is the son of Devi Lals eldest son, Pratap Chautala. Meanwhile, Naina Singh Chautala, a two-time MLA from the Badhra assembly segment and wife of Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) supremo, as well as mother of Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, who is the grandson of former Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala, is the JJP candidate. Abhay and Ajay are real brothers. Naina is the daughter-in-law of former Chief Minister Om Parkash Chautala, and Ranjit Chautala is the brother of former CM Chautala, while Sunaina is the bhabhi of Naina. Naina is credited with holding statewide hari chunari chaupals to create political awareness among women. Both ladies are pitted against the BJP nominee, 78-year-old Ranjit Singh Chautala, who was an Independent MLA and cabinet minister in both the Khattar and Saini cabinets and joined the BJP last month after resigning as an MLA. Hisar Lok Sabha constituency is one of the 10 Lok Sabha (parliamentary) constituencies in Haryana. The total number of voters at the Hisar parliamentary seat is approximately 1,631,817, as per the 2019 Lok Sabha poll statistics. Voter turnout at the Hisar parliamentary seat in the 2019 Lok Sabha Election was 72.43%. In the 2019 polls, Brijendra Singh of the BJP emerged victorious in the Hisar constituency of Haryana, securing 603,289 votes. His closest competitor, Dushyant Chautala of the JNJP, received 289,221 votes. The total number of votes cast in Hisar was 1,181,878.

Gurgaon Open 2024: Rajiv Kumar Jatiwal emerges halfway leader after second round of 67

Gurgaon Open 2024: Rajiv Kumar Jatiwal emerges halfway leader after second round of 67 Chandigarh's Rajiv Kumar Jatiwal followed up his first round of 66 with another top-notch effort of five-under 67 in round two to emerge as halfway leader at 11-under 133 at the Gurgaon Open 2024 being played at the Classic Golf and Country Club in Nuh, Haryana. Bengaluru golfer M Dharma's 69 placed him second at nine-under 135. On a day the wind played havoc by constantly switching directions, Gurugram-based Sunhit Bishnoi produced the joint lowest round of 66 to move into third place at eight-under 136. Arjun Prasad of Delhi also shot a 66 to be placed a further stroke behind in tied fourth at seven-under 137 along with Tapy Ghai (68) of Gurugram. The halfway cut went at even-par 144. Fifty-six professionals made the cut. Rajiv Kumar Jatiwal (66-67), overnight tied third and three off the lead, produced some great approach shots to set up short birdie conversions on three of the first four holes. With the switching winds creating problems in club selection for most of the field including the 48-year-old Rajiv, bogeys followed for him on the sixth and eighth. Jatiwal, winner of one professional title in his rookie season on the Indian circuit back in 1998, then rallied with another splendid approach shot from 215 yards on the par-5 ninth that led to a tap-in for eagle. Rajiv birdied the next hole before going through another slump with bogeys on the 11th and 12th. Jatiwal had a final flourish in store as he struck his irons and wedges to perfection to pick up three more birdies on the 14th, 15th and 16th. Rajiv, who has been struggling this season with just one cut made from five previous appearances, said, While I putted really well in round one, today it was all about my approach shots. The eagle on the ninth was the highlight for me today. Importantly, I made good comebacks twice after suffering bogeys. I'll look to play my natural game from here on and repeat what I've been doing so far. Keeping my focus going will also be important. My game has been quite inconsistent so far this season as I've missed cuts by one or two shots. I'm now looking at this week as a good opportunity to turn things around. M Dharma (66-69) moved up one spot from his overnight tied third as a result of his 69 that featured four birdies and a bogey. Dharma's round included some exceptional bunker shots and chips and saw him land it within two feet of the pin on three occasions.

We don't come in surveys, we directly form government: Punjab CM Mann

BHARUCH: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has said though the Aam Aadmi Party's popularity is not captured in pre-poll surveys, its actual performance helps the outfit directly form government and asserted the Lok Sabha polls will deliver surprising results. Mann, a senior leader of the AAP, an INDIA bloc constituent, on Wednesday also dismissed as a 'jumla' (rhetoric) the BJP's poll slogan of 'Abki Baar 400 Paar' (saffron party-led NDA's claim of winning more than 400 Lok Sabha seats). He said putting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is also the AAP convener, in jail in connection with the excise policy case ahead of the Lok Sabha elections reflected autocracy as well as conspiracy by the ruling party. This is both autocracy as well as conspiracy. This is their (BJP's) tactic to put opposition leaders in jail ahead of polls, Mann claimed. Mann meets Kejriwal in Tihar jail, says he is being treated like terrorist Abki Baar 400 Paar is a jumla. Why did they (BJP) not say this during the 2020 assembly polls in Delhi? And who are they to decide how many seats they will win? It will be the 140 crore people of India who will decide who gets how many seats. This country is not somebody's personal property, he maintained. Mann was talking to reporters after holding a roadshow in Gujarat's Bharuch town in support of AAP candidate Chaitar Vasava. We don't come in surveys. We directly form government. No one predicted our victory in Delhi or Punjab. Neither anyone predicted that five of our MLAs will win in Gujarat nor that AAP will win Chandigarh mayoral polls. Those who believe that this is their country, they will be surprised this time after seeing the results, he said. Asked about his views on BJP's poll manifesto, Mann noted it was Kejriwal who started the trend of giving guarantees to voters ahead of the elections. It was Kejriwal who used to give guarantees. Now, out of fear, the BJP has started talking about guarantees in their manifesto, said the AAP leader. He emphasised it was the AAP convener who started the practice of talking about schools, hospitals and infrastructure creation. Instead of doing caste-based politics, Arvind Kejriwal has taught us to talk about schools, hospitals, infrastructure and electricity. They only spread hatred. We are a secular party while they are stuck in the mud of caste-based politics, said the CM, lashing out at the BJP. Young tribal leader Chaitar Vasava, a sitting AAP MLA, will take on BJP's six-time MP Mansukh Vasava in the tribal-dominated Bharuch Lok Sabha seat. Kejriwals wife among AAPs star campaigners for Gujarat All the 26 Lok Sabha constituencies in Gujarat will vote in a single phase on May 7. After the roadshow, Chaitar Vasava exuded confidence about emerging victorious. We are confident that people will elect me. People gave 25 years to Mansukh Vasava but he failed to address key issues of this region, such as unemployment and poor health as well as education infrastructure. He also failed in helping locals in getting a fair compensation against their land acquired by the government, said the AAP MLA. There is no point in giving the BJP Lok Sabha MP from Bharuch five more years, said the AAP candidate. I am confident that people will vote for me this time. We want Bharuch to get the tag of a municipal corporation and ensure everyone's development, asserted Chaitar Vasava.

Green pitch finds more resonance in poll time

CHANDIGARH: As Lok Sabha elections are set to begin on April 19, over 70 environment, climate action and youth groups have urged all parties to ensure protection of ecosystems and community livelihoods in the Himalayas, Aravallis, Western and Eastern Ghats, and coastal regions, among others, and not allow corporate exploitation of natural habitats. India ranks at the bottom of 180 countries in the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) of 2022. Out of the 50 most polluted cities in the world, 42 are in India and 70% of groundwater aquifers have dried up, according to reports. National Alliance of Peoples Movements (NAPM), People for Aravallis, Youth for Himalayas, and Climate Front India are saying: Vote for Nature, Democracy and Future of Our Youth. These groups argue for changing the definition of development in India. Development at the cost of our natural resources is not vikas as it leads to destruction of our pollution sinks and water security threatening the future of our youth and wildlife, they say, demanding that no diversion of forest and agricultural land must take place without gram sabha nod. They further demand that all dilutions in environment and forest acts must be reversed. They seek full and effective implementation of the Environment Protection Act, Biodiversity Act, Forest Rights Act, PESA Act and similar legislations that uphold the rights of nature and indigenous communities. They say that all wetlands must be notified under the Wetland Rules 2010 and all water bodies that have dried up across the country must be revived. Water recharge using traditional knowledge must be taken up at a war footing to protect our nations water security.

INTERVIEW | Im no outsider, born & brought up in Chandigarh

Anybody who wants to leave the Congress is obviously not committed to the founding ideology of this country, said Manish Tewari , senior Congress leader and former Union minister. In an interview with Harpreet Bajwa , the Anandpur Sahib MP who this time is contesting from Chandigarh talked about a range of issues.. Excerpts: BJP has called you an outsider to Chandigarh. What have you to say? BJP has been spreading the word that I am an outsider and not from Chandigarh. I was born and brought up in the city and thus have better claim over the city. You should ask them if Prime Minister Narendra Modi is from Varanasi. These are parliamentary elections, not municipality polls. Many Congress leaders have left the party and joined BJP. Your take? Anybody who wants to go is obviously either not committed to the founding ideology of this country or the idea of India. What is your take on electoral bonds controversy? The Supreme Court has struck down the electoral bonds; apex court has said the electoral bonds system was opaque, therefore it needs to go. It is now becoming public that there is a quid pro quo between sanction of work orders by BJP government and electoral bonds. What are the issues you would be taking up? The fundamental issue which is germane to the people of Chandigarh and confronts the nation is the challenge to the very essence of democracy. In Chandigarh mayoral polls you saw the murder of democracy and Supreme Court had to exercise its unique power under article 142 of Constitution to save democracy. People of Chandigarh have seen a brazen attempt to subvert a popular mandate. In the circumstances, a Lok Sabha election is defined by larger national issues saving democracy and the Constitution given to us by our founding fathers led by Baba Sahib Bhim Rao Ambedkar, and saving the idea of India on which this country stands. What are the local issues your are raising in Chandigarh? Of course we are taking inputs, and we will come out with a manifesto at appropriate time which will clearly indicate our preferences. Dumping ground of the city is a major issue and it has not been shifted... I am aware of this issue. The dumping ground falls on the border of my current constituency and Chandigarh, so we will try and find a solution which is holistic and reasonable and which enhances environment in and around the dumping ground. Are you advocating metro in Chandigarh as your predecessor Kiron Kherr opposed it? Way back in 2019, I was the first to write to Union minister of roads and highways Nitin Gatkari to get a detailed project report done for a metro for the tri-city so that the synergy of the tri-city could be leveraged and full potential of the area, especially providing employment for youngsters, could be worked out. You are contesting these polls in alliance with AAP and AAP has promised free water and electricity. Do you stand by the promises? AAP and Congress are part of INDIA bloc. Whatever commitments have been made by AAP in Chandigarh obviously must have been done after studying their financial feasibility. Since the financial feasibility has been gone into, we will stand by our alliance partner. What does Chandigarh lack and what is need of the hour? Essentially the governance model of Chandigarh goes back to 1966 when Punjab was re-organised. That governance model has not been updated in a holistic manner. Division of powers between Chandigarh Administration and Municipal Corporation, which came into existence in 1996, is an issue which needs to be gone. You cannot look into things in a segmented manner. We need to be holistic. That is why I am saying that entire governance model of Chandigarh needs to be relooked.
