BJP Government's Neglect of Tamil Nadu Draws Accusation of Deception and Injustice
BJP Government's Neglect of Tamil Nadu Draws Accusation of Deception and Injustice Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Saturday charged the BJP government at the Centre with ''deceiving'' the state by denying the disaster relief fund and justice, too, and cautioned that people were watching every action of the Centre. Though the state government has demanded Rs 37,907 crore for relief and rehabilitation following the widespread destruction caused by the Michaung cyclone and unprecedented rains (in December 2023), the Centre had announced only Rs 276 crore, he said. ''This too after we approached the Supreme Court (seeking the aid from the Centre),'' the chief minister said in a post on the social media platform 'X'. The Tamil Nadu government has so far spent Rs 2,477 crore from the State Disaster Fund towards the immediate relief and rehabilitation of the affected people, Stalin said. ''Our people are watching every action of the BJP government which is deceiving that there's no fund and no justice to Tamil Nadu,'' the chief minister said.

Welfare for All, Privileges for None: Congress's Commitment to Social Justice
Welfare for All, Privileges for None: Congress's Commitment to Social Justice Congress candidate from Chandigarh parliamentary constituency Manish Tewari on Saturday said that unlike the Bharatiya Janata Party, his party believes in mass welfare and not privileges for a select few. ''Public welfare was and will always remain our topmost priority and preference irrespective of what our opponents say about it,'' Tewari asserted during an interaction with the people while campaigning in the Union Territory. Accompanied by several Congress leaders and workers, including Chandigarh Congress president HS Lucky, Tewari toured various parts of the city and talked to the people about the problems they are facing. Tewari, the sitting MP from Anandpur Sahib constituency in Punjab, pointed out that the Congress poll manifesto, named 'Nyay Patra,' is a manifesto designed for the masses of the country with its ''five commandments for justice.'' Tewari said that during the last ten years the BJP created a ''select and privileged group of crony capitalists,'' while the Congress guarantees justice to the youth, farmers, women, and workers. The former Union minister claimed that the unemployment in the county at present is the highest in 45 years. He also wondered what happened to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's promise of creating 2 crore jobs every year. ''By that count, there should have been twenty crore jobs generated by now,'' Tewari said. Instead, he said, the government ''failed'' to fill 30 lakh vacancies pending across government departments. The politician, who is a lawyer by profession, said his party will give Rs 1 lakh to one woman per family to bring that family out of poverty. The Congress has done it in the past with the Food Security Act and the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), which revolutionised rural employment, he said. Tewari claimed that even after last year's victories in Karnataka and Telangana, the Congress fulfilled all its guarantees, directly benefiting the common people and not just a privileged few. Polling for the lone Chandigarh seat will take place on June 1.

Safe haven or symbol of injustice? What our gardens tell us about the world we live in
From manicured, exclusive retreats built on slave money to common ground in which to seed utopian dreams, gardens occupy a fertile space in our lives and imaginations I have a dream sometimes. I dream Im in a house, and discover a door I didnt know was there. It opens into an unexpected garden, and for a weightless moment I find myself inhabiting new territory, flush with potential. Maybe there are steps down to a pond, or a statue surrounded by fallen leaves. It is never tidy, always beguilingly overgrown. What might grow here, what rare peonies, irises, roses will I find? I wake with the sense that a too-tight joint has loosened, and that everything runs fluent with new life. For most of the years that I have had this dream, I didnt have a garden of my own. I rented until I was 40, and only rarely in flats with outdoor space. The first of these temporary gardens was in Brighton. I planted calendula there, which according to the 16th-century herbalist Gerard would strengthen and comfort the heart very much. I was training to be a herbalist and my head was full of plants, an entanglement of natural forms. Continue reading...

Thousands rally in Australian capitals to demand gender violence justice
Thousands rally in Australian capitals to demand gender violence justice Violence against women is an epidemic in Australia, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Saturday, as thousands attended rallies in Sydney and other major Australian cities urging tougher laws on gendered violence. The rallies were spurred by a wave of violence against women that the government says has seen a woman killed every four days this year. The rallies also followed a mass stabbing in Sydney this month that killed six people, including five women. Protesters demanding stronger criminal laws gathered in Sydney, capital of New South Wales state, for a rally and then a march that closed city streets. Some protesters carried signs that read Respect and No More Violence. In South Australia's capital Adelaide, it was estimated around 3,000 people rallied at the city's parliament building. Prime Minister Albanese said he would be part of a rally in the national capital Canberra on Sunday. I will walk with women across Australia to say enough is enough, Albanese said on social media platform X. Violence against women is an epidemic. We must do better. In Adelaide, Greens Party Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said a national emergency response was needed to tackle the issue. Women are sick and tired of being told 'yes it's bad but there's not much we can do,' Hanson-Young said, according to a spokesperson. Similar protests were scheduled across the weekend in state capitals Perth, Western Australia; Melbourne, Victoria; Hobart, Tasmania; and Brisbane, Queensland. Gender-based violence is an ongoing issue in Australia, a nation of 26 million. In 2021, tens of thousands rallied over allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct in some of the nation's highest political offices.

Arms suppliers arrested in Salman Khan house firing incident sent to Crime Branch custody till April 30 The Mumbai Esplanade Court on Friday sent the accused duo, who allegedly supplied guns to the shooters in the Salman Khan house firing case, to the sutody of Mumbai Crime Brnach till April 30. Two accused, identified as Sonu Subhash Chander and Anuj Thapan were arrested by the police for their alleged involvement in the Salman Khan case. The duo was accused of supplying guns to shooters Vicky and Sagar, who fired multiple rounds of bullets outside the actor's house on April 14. The two men, who came on a motorbike, fired four rounds outside the Galaxy Apartments, around 5 am on April 14 and fled. CCTV footage spotted both the accused sporting caps and carrying backpacks. They were arrested on the basis of inputs indicating that they provided weapons to the other two accused. We told the court that we had not provided any weapons, did not come to Panvel, and had nothing to do with them. We have nothing to do with Bishnoi. Only one person's surname is Bishnoi and he is being dragged into this, Dubey said. Earlier, the Mumbai Police registered a case against four people in the firing case, naming the Bishnoi brothers as key accused. The sections under IPC 506(2) (threatening), 115 (abetment), and 201 (tampering with evidence) have been added to the case. Mumbai Crime Branch officials disclosed that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his brother Anmol Bishnoi have been declared wanted accused in connection with the case. Anmol Bishnoi claimed responsibility for the firing outside Salman's residence in a Facebook post following the attack. The accused, Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, were grilled by officials of the elite National Investigation Agency (NIA) over several hours, officials informed on Friday. Earlier, on Thursday, the Esplanade Court extended the police custody of both the accused arrested in connection with the firing incident till April 29. They were produced before the metropolitan magistrate's court here after their previous remand ended on Thursday and were remanded in custody of the Mumbai Police Crime Branch. Earlier, the Crime Branch claimed to have recovered strong evidence against gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his brother Anmol Bishnoi, identifying them as the key conspirators and 'most wanted' in the case. According to the Mumbai Crime Branch, before the firing went down, the shooters had reached Salman's residence four times. They had also staked out Salman's farmhouse, the Crime Branch informed, adding that since the actor hadn't visited his farmhouse over several days, they planned to execute the firing outside his plush Galaxy Apartments residence in Bandra. According to officials, the Mumbai Crime Branch recovered a broken mobile handset from the accused at the time of their arrest, adding that they were in possession of more than one phone. The Crime Branch informed further that they were looking into the other phones as well. They also informed of the recovery of the second pistol, along with four magazines and 17 rounds from the Tapi River of Surat. The sleuths stated earlier that they fished out the pistol from the river on April 22 and also found the footprint of one of the arrested shooters, Vicky Gupta, while he making a getaway from Mumbai to Gujarat's Bhuj. The Crime Branch said the shooters chucked the firearm into the Tapi River near Surat while making their escape. The police said they were searching for more mobile handsets that they may have dumped in the river, adding that they moved money to the bank several times. (ANI)

Writ Petitions Not Entertained on Mere Suspicion of Right Infringement: Justice Datta
Writ Petitions Not Entertained on Mere Suspicion of Right Infringement: Justice Datta A writ petition ought not to be entertained if the plea is based on the mere suspicion that a right could be infringed, Supreme Court judge Justice Dipankar Datta said on Friday. Justice Datta was part of the apex court bench which rejected pleas seeking complete cross-verification of votes cast using electronic voting machines (EVMs) with a Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT). ''The mere suspicion that there may be a mismatch in votes cast through EVMs, thereby giving rise to a demand for a 100 per cent VVPAT slips verification, is not a sufficient ground for the present set of writ petitions to be considered maintainable,'' he said. Writing his views in a separate verdict while concurring with the opinion of Justice Sanjiv Khanna, who was heading the bench, Justice Datta said to maintain these writ petitions, it ought to have been shown that there exists a tangible threat of infringement. However, that has also not been substantiated, he wrote. He said without any evidence of malice, arbitrariness, breach of law or a genuine threat to invasion of rights, the writ petitions could have been dismissed as not maintainable. ''But, considering the seriousness of the concerns that the court suo motu had expressed to which responses were received from the official of the ECI (Election Commission of India) as well as its senior counsel, the necessity was felt to issue the twin directions in the greater public interest and to sub-serve the demands of justice,'' Justice Datta said. ''Should mere suspicion of infringement of a right be considered adequate ground to invoke the writ jurisdiction? In my opinion, the answer should be 'no','' he said. He said the suspicion that a right could be infringed and a real threat of infringement of a right are distinct and different. ''A writ petition ought not to be entertained if the plea is based on the mere suspicion that a right could be infringed,'' Justice Datta said, adding that to succeed in a claim under Article 32 or 226 of the Constitution, one must demonstrate either mala fide or arbitrariness or breach of a law in the impugned State action. He said the writ jurisdiction under Articles 32 and 226 being special and extraordinary, it should not be exercised casually or lightly on the mere asking of a litigant based on suspicions and conjectures, unless there is a credible or trustworthy material on record to suggest that adverse action affecting a right is reasonably imminent or there is a real threat to the rule of law being abrogated. The top court delivered its verdict on a batch of petitions, including the one filed by NGO Association for Democratic Reforms, which also sought a direction to return to the paper ballot system in elections.

Four students on why theyre protesting against war in Gaza: Injustice should not be accepted
Students demonstrating and hunger-striking face arrests and hospitalization but they think they can make a difference Student protesters are demanding universities divest from Israel. What does that mean? The arrests of more than a hundred Columbia University students, who were protesting against Israels actions in Gaza, shed more light on arguably the most energetic pro-Palestinian movement in the US: the one taking places on college campuses around the country. Since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October, in response to terrorist attacks by Hamas, students have launched protests, sit-ins and, most recently, encampments, in a wave they hope will encourage universities to divest from companies which have ties to Israels military.
