Cong leaders pay tribute to Indira Gandhi on death anniversary; recall her sacrifices, legacy
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 31 (IANS) Congress leaders on Saturday paid tributes to late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on her 42nd death anniversary, remembering her contributions and sacrifices for the country and describing her as a leader whose legacy continues to inspire generations. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and other party leaders visited the Indira Gandhi Memorial and offered floral tributes to the late Prime Minister at Shakti Sthal. In Bengaluru, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President B.K. Hariprasad remembered Indira Gandhi as the 'Iron Lady' of India and said she had sacrificed her life for the unity of the country. Today is the 42nd death anniversary of my great leader, the Iron Lady of India, Indira Gandhi. It is the 42nd death anniversary. Indira Gandhi sacrificed her life for the unity of this country. Her great sacrifices will be remembered forever when we talk about the unity of the great country that is India, he told IANS. All India Mahila Congress President Alka Lamba also paid tribute to Indira Gandhi, recalling her contribution to women's political participation and the establishment of the Mahila Congress. Indira-ji can never be forgotten; there is no question of merely remembering her. She lives on in our memories, through her sacrifice and devotion. Martyr, India's first female Prime Minister, Bharat Ratna Indira Gandhi-ji, on her martyrdom day, we remember her, Lamba said. She said she felt proud to lead an organisation whose foundation and establishment were laid by Indira Gandhi, adding that the late Prime Minister had not only provided women with an organisation but had also insisted on their active participation in politics. That dream was realised by Rajiv Gandhi by bringing 33 per cent reservation for women in Panchayati Raj. Following that, Sonia Gandhi took it further by passing the Women's Reservation Bill, she added. Indian Youth Congress (IYC) President, Uday Bhanu Chib, also remembered Indira Gandhi's contribution to the country and said her sacrifice continued to inspire the organisation. We remember Indira Gandhi. We remember what she has done for this country. She has sacrificed her life for the betterment of our country, Hindustan, and we are following the same path, he said. Indira Gandhi was born on November 19, 1917, in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, into a Kashmiri Pandit family. She was the daughter of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Kamala Nehru. National Integration Day, observed annually on November 19, coincides with Indira Gandhi's birth anniversary and serves to honour her pivotal role in shaping India's political, social, and economic journey. As India progresses toward becoming a global power, National Integration Day acts as a reminder of Gandhi's contributions to unifying the nation. The observance was instituted by the Indian National Congress in 1985 to commemorate her efforts in promoting unity. During her tenure as Prime Minister from 1966 to 1977 and again from 1980 until her assassination in 1984, Indira Gandhi worked relentlessly to strengthen national integration. Her political career was defined by her unwavering commitment to unity and integrity. One of her landmark achievements was her decisive leadership during the 1971 India-Pakistan war, which led to the creation of Bangladesh. Her actions solidified her reputation as a leader with a strong vision and resolve. The Green Revolution led by Indira Gandhi supported and expanded high-yielding agricultural policies that helped steer India toward food self-reliance and security. Indira Gandhi also authorised India's first peaceful nuclear test in Pokhran in 1974 and significantly advanced the country's space program. She chaired the Non-Aligned Movement and positioned India as an influential voice for developing nations during the Cold War and also nationalised 14 of India's largest commercial banks to redirect credit toward agriculture, small industries, and rural development.

Allahabad High Court suspends Azam Khan, Abdullah Azam

Allahabad HC grants relief to Azam Khan, Abdullah Khan in dual PAN card case, suspends sentence
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 29 (IANS) In a major relief to Samajwadi Party (SP) senior leader and his son Abdullah Khan, the Allahabad High Court on Thursday suspended their sentence in the dual PAN card case and also granted them bail. However, the High Court declined their plea to stay the conviction itself. Now, their release from jail will depend on the legal position in other pending cases. Justice Samit Gopal of the Allahabad High Court passed the order while hearing criminal revision petitions filed by the father and son challenging the conviction and sentence awarded by subordinate courts in the two PAN cards case. According to the prosecution, the case is related to the alleged procurement and use of a second PAN card that carried a different date of birth. The allegations also included the purported use of the second PAN card in documents of nomination filed for the election. Senior counsel appearing for Azam Khan argued the matter before the High Court. The defence challenged the lower courts verdict through criminal revision petitions and sought suspension of sentence and grant of bail pending disposal of the case. The High Court accepted the plea for suspension of sentence and granted bail, but refused to stay the conviction. This distinction is legally significant, as the conviction order remains in force even though the sentence has been put on hold. The final adjudication on the revision petitions will take place separately. Legal experts say that suspension of sentence allows a convicted person to remain out on bail while an appeal or revision is pending, whereas a stay on conviction would temporarily set aside the consequences arising from the conviction itself. In this case, the court has not granted such relief. Based on the order, the conviction continues to stand until the revision petitions are finally decided. Despite securing bail in the dual PAN card case, Azam Khan and Abdullah Azam may still have to address legal proceedings in other pending matters before any release can be effected. Azam Khan and Abdullah Khan are already lodged in jail in connection with various cases.

CJI Surya Kant pulls up lawyer seeking listing of disproportionate assets case against Rahul Gandhi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 27 (IANS) Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant on Tuesday reprimanded a lawyer seeking an urgent listing of a disproportionate assets case against Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, questioning whether the move was intended to generate media attention. There is no head, no tail to this mentioning, the CJI remarked, taking exception to the grounds cited by the lawyer for seeking an early hearing in the matter. The lawyer sought the listing of the matter, contending that Rahul Gandhi had recently claimed at an event that he was in touch with 200 officials of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Responding to the submission, CJI Kant asked the lawyer, Have you spoken to any news channel for this? Following the exchange, the CJI orally instructed the court staff to discontinue live streaming of the mentioning proceedings henceforth. The remarks came in the backdrop of the Supreme Court's earlier order staying proceedings before the Allahabad High Court in the disproportionate assets case and restraining the CBI and the ED from submitting any report before the High Court. The case arises from a complaint filed by Karnataka-based BJP worker S. Vignesh Shishir, who alleged that Rahul Gandhi possessed assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. In August, the Supreme Court had asked the Allahabad High Court to defer proceedings in the matter and also restrained the central agencies from submitting any report to it. The top court also said that if any agency has knowledge of any disproportionate assets belonging to any individual, it can proceed on its own, and the same does not require court orders. The Congress leader had approached the apex court challenging the Allahabad High Court's directions to the CBI and the ED to verify the allegations. He had also filed a separate transfer petition seeking to shift the proceedings from the Allahabad High Court to the Delhi High Court.
