BJP slams AAP over funding by Sikhs For Justice
NEW DELHI: Delhi BJP workers held demonstrations outside the AAP headquarters at the DDU Marg on Tuesday over alleged funding received by the party from banned terrorist organisation Sikhs For Justice. This came a day after Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena recommended an NIA probe into the matter. Led by BJPs Delhi unit chief Virendra Sachdeva, protesters marched towards the AAP office. Their attempt to breach police barricades was thwarted, leading to their temporary detention and subsequent release with a warning. During the demonstration, slogans were raised against AAP and its convenor Arvind Kejriwal. Sachdeva criticised the imprisoned chief minister, asserting that by accepting donations from terrorist outfits, Kejriwal has besmirched the legacy of national heroes like Shaheed Bhagat Singh, whom he frequently invokes in his rhetoric. We know the AAP is corrupt but its most shameful that the party also took funds from a banned terrorist outfit, alleged Delhi BJP president. There could be political differences among the parties but there cannot be any compromise with the national security, he said. Those who joined hands with the anti-national forces should be booked under sedition charges, Sachdeva demanded. Sachdeva also alleged that AAPs offices across all seven constituencies of Delhi could face seizure for allegedly colluding with enemies of the nation. He mentioned that BJP workers would engage in door-to-door campaigns to educate people about AAPs alleged character. He also urged voters to ensure their vote aligns with the nations interests. Joining the protest rally were prominent BJP leaders such as Sardar R P Singh, Vijendra Gupta, Mohan Singh Bisht, Anil Bajpayee, Dinesh Pratap Singh, Vishnu Mittal, Gajendra Yadav, Richa Pandey Mishra, Amit Gupta, along with district presidents of the party. Vijendra Gupta accused AAP and Congress of adhering to Maoist ideology, alleging their role in spreading communal violence.AAP is the only party where corruption and anti-national sentiments go hand in hand, he said. AAP has dismissed the accusation, labelling the recommendation as yet another conspiracy orchestrated by the ruling BJP at the Centre against Kejriwal.

Survivors demand justice for alleged abuse in Illinois youth detention facilities
Survivors demand justice for alleged abuse in Illinois youth detention facilities Three men who say they were sexually abused as children while incarcerated at Illinois juvenile detention centres came forward Tuesday as part of a lawsuit that chronicles decades of disturbing allegations of systemic child abuse. Calvin McDowell, 37, who alleged he was abused by a chaplain at a suburban Chicago youth center as a teenager, said he didn't want others suffering as he did for decades. Instead of being cared for, I felt more alone than ever, McDowell said at a Chicago news conference. I held my secret from the people I loved out of fear and embarrassment. I had nights where I wanted to give up on life. The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they were sexually assaulted unless they consent to being identified or decide to tell their stories publicly, as McDowell and two other men who are plaintiffs in the lawsuit have. The complaint filed Monday alleges widespread abuse from 1996 to 2017 at nine youth detention centres, including gang rape, forced oral sex and beatings of children by corrections officers, sergeants, nurses, therapists, a chaplain and others. Many of the 95 plaintiffs, who are mostly identified by their initials in the lawsuit, said they were threatened or rewarded to keep quiet. The lawsuit follows similar complaints of abuse at youth detention centres in New Jersey, California, Maryland and elsewhere. Ten of the 95 men and women who brought the Illinois complaint appeared at the news conference. Jeffery Christian, 36, said he was abused at two different Illinois Youth Centers, including by a counsellor who groped him during counselling sessions. His family's efforts to report the abuse were ignored at the time, he said a pattern that was familiar to the others. I want the world to know what happened to me and the rest of the survivors that are with me, Christian said. I want to shine a light on these dark times I went through as a juvenile. When Christian shed tears, another survivor patted him on the back in support. There were nods in agreement and applause as the survivors spoke. Several said that meeting others who had the same harrowing experiences has helped them find peace. The lawsuit contends Illinois failed to supervise, discipline, remove or investigate alleged abusers, enabling abuse to continue. The complaint alleges the abuse happened at youth centres in locations all over the state, including Chicago, St. Charles and Harrisburg. Several detention centre locations have since closed. Filed in the Illinois Court of Claims, the lawsuit names the state of Illinois and its Department of Corrections and Department of Juvenile Justice as defendants. It seeks damages of roughly $2 million per plaintiff, the most allowed under law. Spokespeople for Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who took office in 2019, and the two corrections agencies have said the alleged incidents took place under former administrations and that any allegations of staff misconduct are thoroughly investigated. They did not immediately have further comment Tuesday. Attorneys who brought the lawsuit said they are sceptical that things have changed. Attorney Todd Mathews said there are hundreds of other former child detainees in Illinois who allege sexual abuse and that he expects to file more lawsuits. Attorney Jerome Block, who has helped bring lawsuits against juvenile detention facilities elsewhere, said states always maintain they have the right procedures in place to deter abuse and that children are safe. It's hard to believe the state when they say there's no problem right now, because that's what they said for all these past decades, Block said. Some survivors said they hope they'll get more answers through legal action, including the names of their alleged abusers. The lawsuit notes six alleged repeat offenders who are identified by name. But many others are identified only as the alleged victims remembered them, including by physical descriptions or nicknames. Stephen Lucas, 36, was about 13 years old when he said was repeatedly abused and harassed by a supervisor at a downstate youth facility. He hopes that his coming forward will help others. I was afraid to share my hardship with those closest to me because I didn't want to be looked at differently. But joining the lawsuit has freed a part of me that I locked away for 22 years,'' he said. I'm finally reclaiming what was taken from me all those years ago.

Kendrapara: Awaiting justice, women vow poll boycott
KENDRAPARA : On March 8, 2015, International Womens Day turned tragic for seven Dalit women and girls in Kendrapara who suffered gunshot wounds during a protest against the opening of a licensed foreign liquor shop in Namatara village. Now, after nine years, they still await justice and vow to boycott the upcoming polls as a mark of protest. Sasmita Jena (39), one of the victims, recounted the incident, expressing disappointment over the lack of accountability. Despite promises from political leaders and government officials to penalise the police responsible for the firing, they alleged justice remained elusive. Additionally, assurances to close IMFL shops also remain unfulfilled, leading to a vow by the villagers to boycott the upcoming elections. The aftermath of the shooting left Sasmita with a bullet lodged in her abdomen, as its removal was considered too risky by doctors. She and others, like Sitarani Malick (45), appealed to political parties to prioritise a liquor ban in their manifestos but were ignored. The villagers, along with the affected women have decided to boycott the polls as their demands remain unfulfilled. Frustrated with their husbands alcohol consumption, women in Namatara had previously ransacked a liquor shop.

We want justice, peace and growth, says Kanhaiya Kumar
NEW DELHI: Amidst supporters chanting, hathi ghodha paalki, jai kanhaiya lal ki, the Congress candidate from North East Delhi, Kanhaiya Kumar, formerly JNUSU president, filed his nomination papers from the constituency on Monday. Kumar filed his nomination at the District Magistrates office in Nand Nagri in the presence of senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Minister Gopal Rai. He is pitted against BJPs two-time MP from the same constituency and Bhojpuri singer-turned-politician Manoj Tiwari. Prior to the nominations, Kanhaiya Kumar performed hawan and took part in Sarvdharm prayers where he met all the religious heads, while after the nominations, Kanhaiyya and his team held a massive roadshow in North East Delhi where Kanhaiyya was seen responding to media, saying, We want jobs for the youth of northeast Delhi, we want relief from GST imposed on shopkeepers, we want a minimum pay of Rs 400 for labourers. We want peace, justice, and growth. However, Kanhaiyyas videos of him performing hawan invited major criticism on social media with netizens questioning him, Ab manuwaad se azaadi nahi chahhiye..?

Tughlakabad: Street crimes, traffic worry residents
NEW DELHI: Nestled amidst the historic Tughlakabad Fort, Tughlakabad village in South Delhi has undergone a remarkable transformation, shedding its past of overcrowding and sanitation woes to emerge as a burgeoning urban hub. In the heart of the battle for South Delhi lies the Gujjar stronghold of Tughlakabad, nestled amidst the ancient ruins of the 700-year-old Tughlakabad Fort Tughlakabad stands as one of Delhis oldest urban villages, once plagued by overcrowding and dismal sanitation. However, residents attest to significant improvements in recent years. Mahesh Singh, a native of the village, recalls a time when open drains and heaps of garbage marred the landscape. Ever since the Tughlakabad Fort gained prominence as a tourist destination, the government has taken substantial steps to cleanse the area, he remarks. Local residents also note a notable decrease in petty crimes like theft and chain-snatching. With the construction of the DMRCs Silver Line, poised to link Tughlakabad to Aerocity, the area is set to emerge as a crucial transit hub. Plans to elevate the Tughlakabad metro station into a key facility, featuring a four-level underground structure connecting the Silver Line to the existing Violet Line, are underway. Nonetheless, the Silver Lines construction has exacerbated traffic congestion, and land acquisition for the metro has adversely affected nearby residents. The Tughlakabad assembly has been a breeding ground for prominent political figures in recent years. Outgoing South Delhi MP Ramesh Bhiduri of the BJP and AAP nominee Sahi Ram have both left their mark on the constituency. Bhiduri held the seat from 2003 to 2015 after unsuccessful bids in 1993 and 1998. Meanwhile, Sahi Ram, initially contesting on a BSP ticket, emerged as the runner-up in 2008 and 2013 before clinching victory on an AAP ticket in 2015 by a margin of 34,000 votes. He retained the seat in 2020 with a reduced margin of 13,000 votes. Tughlakabad contributes to the South Delhi constituency, where the BJP has replaced incumbent Ramesh Bhiduri with Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, the leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly and MLA from the Badarpur assembly constituency. Bidhuri is reputed to have a strong influence over the Gujjar community. The INDIA bloc candidate Sahi Ram, also a Gujjar, commands significant support from the Dalit community.
India's democratic journey continues as voters will head out on Tuesday to exercise their franchise in 93 constituencies, spread across 11 states and Union Territories spanning the beaches of Goa to the jungles of Assam, and a large swathe of UP to north Karnataka, and seal the electoral fate of several heavyweights.

Paris 2024 Olympics: Cybersecurity and Organised Crime Pose Unprecedented Challenge
As Paris gears up for the 2024 Olympics, there's a big concern looming: cybersecurity. Organizers are bracing for intense pressure this summer as the Games draw near. The main threats? Organized crime, activists, and even states themselves. From July 26 to August 11, the Olympics will take place, followed by the Paralympics from August 28 to September 8. To tackle this challenge head-on, Paris 2024 has teamed up with the French national agency for information security (ANSSI) and cybersecurity firms Cisco and Eviden. Together, they're working to minimize the impact of cyber attacks. Vincent Strubel, ANSSI's director general, acknowledges the impossibility of preventing all attacks. There won't be Games without attacks, but we have to minimize their effects on the Olympics, he stated to reporters. With 500 sites, including competition venues and local organizations, Paris 2024 has conducted comprehensive testing to shore up vulnerabilities. Strubel is optimistic, affirming that the Games will operate from a secret location equipped with a cybersecurity operation center. The threat level is unprecedented, but so is our level of preparation, Strubel asserted. I believe we're ahead of the attackers. To ensure readiness, Paris 2024 has employed ethical hackers to stress-test their systems. Additionally, they're leveraging artificial intelligence to distinguish between minor disruptions and potential catastrophes. Franz Regul, IT managing director at Paris 2024, highlighted the role of AI. It helps us differentiate between a nuisance and a catastrophe, he explained. With expectations of cyber events increasing tenfold compared to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Paris 2024 is leaving no stone unturned in securing the Games.
