Same speech, multiple FIRs: SC questions need for trials in different states against Sharjeel Imam

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked if former JNU student Sharjeel Imam can be prosecuted in different states for offences including sedition over a single speech. The top court was hearing the 2020 plea of Imam seeking the clubbing of multiple FIRs registered against him across four states, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh, for the alleged inflammatory speech delivered during protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar was urged by senior advocate Sidharth Dave, who said Sharjeel couldn't be subjected to multiple trials across the country for one speech. Additional solicitor general S V Raju, appearing for Delhi Police which has also registered a criminal case against Imam, opposed the submissions and said, He instigated a mob in Bihar, a mob in Uttar Pradesh and in Delhi. The offences are different. But the speech is one and the same. If the speech is on YouTube, etc., and then it can be heard across India and the impact will be the same, the CJI said, indicating a case of double jeopardy. The CJI said the cases should be transferred to Delhi. Raju said he was not representing other states and, therefore, did not have the instruction over clubbing or transfer of the cases. Offence against the state is one issue and the offence against society is different, he said. The CJI said, If there were different speeches then you may be right. Here, the speech is same. If you agree, then can stay trial in other states. Raju reiterated his position following which the bench posted the hearing after two weeks. The top court previously sought to know from Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh about any objection if the trials against Imam in multiple FIRs were transferred to Delhi. On May 26, 2020, the apex court sought their responses and the Delhi government to file its reply in the matter. Delhi Police booked Imam under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). On January 28, 2020, Imam was arrested by the Delhi Police's crime branch from Bihar's Jehanabad in a sedition case for allegedly making inflammatory speeches in the Jamia Millia Islamia University and Aligarh Muslim University. The former student at the Jawaharlal Nehru University's Centre for Historical Studies was booked on sedition and other charges after purported videos of his alleged inflammatory speeches made during protests against the CAA were circulated on social media. An FIR was lodged against him by Delhi Police on January 25, 2020 under IPC Sections 124A (sedition) and 153A (promoting or attempting to promote disharmony or feelings of enmity on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, caste or community or any other ground whatsoever) among other provisions.

Uttar Pradesh police remain vigil across state in wake of Waqf Amendment Bill

LUCKNOW: Amid the prevailing tension following the passage of the Waqf Amendment Bill in Parliament on late Thursday night, security was tightened in all the 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh amid fierce criticism of the Bill from various quarters of Muslim community. However, there was no incident of public protest reported from anywhere in the state. UP police in all the 75 districts held Flag March in the wake of the passage of the Bill with a strict monitoring of potential troublemakers. Moreover, the state police are keeping an eye on the situation through drones as well. Notably, UP DGP Prashant Kumar had cancelled the leave of all the police personnel calling them back to join duty with immediate effect on Wednesday when the Bill was tabled in Lok Sabha. While cautioning the officers to exercise utmost caution in their respective districts, the state police chief has directed the officers in the sensitive areas to remain mobile in the field and intensify the police patrolling in public places. The police chiefs of respective districts, including state capital Luckow, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Varanasi, Sambhal, Aligarh, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Agra, Bulandshahr, Rampur, Jalaun, Moradabad and Mathura, remained on high alert and conducted flag march coupled with the monitoring of sensitive areas, shrines and dargahs through drone. Moreover, the vigilance was increased in Muslim dominated localities of the cities across the state. Congress to challenge Waqf (Amendment) Bill in Supreme Court In Lucknow, police surveillance was amplified especially in over a dozen localities across the old city area. Special security measures were taken to protect Vidhan Bhawan, Satkhanda, Roomi Gate and Chowk areas.

People are urged not to have any misconception, said DCP (Central) Lucknow Ashish Srivastava. In the Taj city of Agra, police and PAC units were deployed around the Jama Masjid with barriers erected at various points to control the movement.

Maulana Fazlul Manna, cleric of famous Tilewali Masjid in Lucknow, said the waqf was owned by Allah. No one else can own the Waqf properties. Now the future course of action would be decided by All India Muslim Personal Law Board.

Former chief of UP Minority Commission, Ashfaq Saifi said that he was getting life threats for supporting the Bill. I am being intimidated through social media and Whatsapp calls.

Vigilance inquiry launched against suspended Invest UP CEO as ED, I-T investigations continue

LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh vigilance department has initiated a confidential probe against suspended IAS officer Abhishek Prakash, who previously served as the CEO of Invest UP, following allegations of corruption. The inquiry, launched on Wednesday on the orders of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, will scrutinise his entire tenure, examining his movable and immovable assets. Prakash, a 2006-batch IAS officer, was suspended on 20 March after accusations of irregularities in the evaluation process for a proposed solar manufacturing project. His suspension followed a complaint by an employee of a solar and renewable energy firm, who alleged that Prakash demanded a five per cent commission for project approval. The complainant claimed that the officer directed him to contact Nikant Jain, who allegedly facilitated deals between the IAS officer and investors. The complaint, addressed to Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh, triggered immediate action, leading to Jain's arrest and Prakash's suspension. Following this, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched a probe into the alleged corruption, and now the income tax department is also preparing to investigate his financial dealings. Senior officials from the home department stated that the vigilance inquiry would cover Prakashs tenure in various districts, including Lakhimpur Kheri, Bareilly, Hamirpur, Lucknow, and Aligarh, where he served as district magistrate.

Following the confidential probe, Prakash will be asked for clarification, and a report will be submitted to the government, a senior home department official said.

Amid tight security, Eid-ul-Fitr namaz offered peacefully in UP's mosques

LUCKNOW: Namaz of Eid-ul-Fitr was completed peacefully in 30,000 mosques and 40,000 Eidgahs across Uttar Pradesh on Monday amid state-imposed curbs prohibiting the offering of Namaz on roads and public properties. Special vigilance was deployed in Sambhal, Aligarh, Lucknow, and Meerut districts; Namazis who thronged the Jama Masjid of Varanasi were forced to offer Namaz on the stairs of the mosque. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the state government deliberately stopped his fleet to delay his arrival at the Lucknow Eidgah. They kept my fleet held up for half an hour. When I asked for reasons behind the delay, the officer had no reply. Is it a dictatorship or some emergency? Today, the countrys constitution is at the greatest risk, said Akhilesh. Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak also reached Lucknow Eidgah and greet the Namazis. UP DGP Prashant Kumar said that the Namaz of Eid-ul-Fitr was offered peacefully in all the districts of the state abiding with guidelines issued by the administration. People did not offer Namaz at public places following the advice of the clerics and also the norms laid out by the state administration amid tight security arrangements, said the DGP.

Over 1300 CCTV cameras were installed around mosques and the disputed Shahi Jama Masjid. The district administration kept a close vigil on the situation through drones. Meanwhile, SP MP from Sambhal, Zia-ur-Rehman Barq also reached Shahi Jama Masjid to offer namaz. On the ban on holding Namaz on road, the MP said that there should not be double standards in the country. On one hand, roads are barricaded to celebrate festivals, on the other, there is a huge problem if Namaz is offered for just 10 minutes on roads, said the SP MP. In Moradabad, a few young Namazis lodged their protest over intense checking while on way to Eidgah. They said that due to the delay, they could not offer the Namaz, and that the Eidgah management organised Namaz again so that they could offer it. In Meerut, two Muslim groups clashed after the namaz at Siwalkhas town and they engaged in heavy stone pelting and firing at each other leaving many injured. The clashes could be stopped after the police intervention, said the local sources. According to SP, Meerut Dehat, Rakesh Kumar Mishra said that five persons were held in connection with the trouble. In Saharanpur, Namazis were seen waving the flag of Palestine saying Muslims were suffering a lot in that nation. They also raised slogans against the Congress MP Imran Masood, saying that while Muslims were suffering in Palestine, the MP was busy celebrating Holi and playing with colours. Meanwhile, the Namazis were seen wearing black band at number of places in protests against the impending Waqf Amendment Bill . No Eid prayers to be offered at Srinagars Eidgah: Waqf board
