A political firestorm broke out on Monday after Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Rai used a toy Rafale fighter jet adorned with lemon and chillies to mock the Modi governments response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives on April 22. Rai, who first brandished the toy jet on Sunday, defended his move a day later, saying it was meant to symbolise public frustration over the governments inaction. Im just askingwhen will Rafale do its job? The country wants a response, not rituals, he told reporters. The symbolic gesture was a pointed reference to Defence Minister Rajnath Singhs 2019 'shastra puja' in France, where he placed lemons under the wheels of a Rafale jet and broke a coconut before flying it to India. In Hindu tradition, lemons and chillies are believed to ward off evil. Criticising the Centres big talk and no action stance, Rai said, Our youth were killed in Pahalgam, but Rafale jets are still in hangars with lemon and chillies. The families of the victims are still waiting for justice. This silence from the government is unacceptable. Rai added that while the Congress fully supports any action taken against terrorism or Pakistan, the government has failed to deliver. After Pulwama, I had asked where the RDX came from and who executed the attack. We still dont have answers. Reacting strongly, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala accused Rai of damaging national morale. Rahul Gandhis close aide Ajay Rai has made it to Pakistans headlines with these antics, he wrote on X, suggesting Rais remarks were a collaboration with Pakistan. #WATCH | Varanasi | Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai shows a 'toy plane' with Rafale written on it and lemon-chillies hanging in it. Ajay Rai says, Terrorist activities have increased in the country, and people are suffering from it. Our youth lost their lives in the pic.twitter.com/wIwLsa4akD ANI (@ANI) May 4, 2025 Poonawalla also slammed the INDIA bloc leaders over their comments on the Pahalgam attack. He said that the INDI alliance is acting like the Rawalpindi alliance, and after the all-party meeting, a competition has started between Congress, SP, and RJD as to who will sympathise more with Pakistan. The INDI alliance is speaking the language of 'Rawalpindi' Alliance. After the all-party meeting, a competition has started between Congress, SP and RJD as to who will sympathise with Pakistan more and who will hurt the morale of the Army more...It means that they still have some doubts that Pakistan is behind this terrorism, he said. BJP leader Pradeep Bhandari echoed the sentiment, calling Congress the Pakistani Congress and alleging it had become a spokesperson of Asif Munirs Pakistan in India. Rai also commented on the upcoming hearing in the Allahabad High Court regarding Congress MP Rahul Gandhis citizenship, calling Gandhi the son of the soil and asserting he didnt need any certificate to prove his identity or patriotism.

PIL in Allahabad HC seeks SIT probe into Robert Vadras 'hate' speech over Pahalgam attack
LUCKNOW: A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Allahabad High Court seeking a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into alleged remarks made by Robert Vadra, husband of Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in connection with the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives. The PIL, filed by senior advocate Ranjana Agnihotri on behalf of the organisation Hindu Front for Justice, claimed that Vadras remarks were provocative, created an atmosphere of fear and unrest among the Hindu community, and attracted action under Sections 152, 302, and 399 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The hearing is likely to be held on Friday. According to media reports cited in the plea, Vadra had allegedly said that non-Muslims were attacked in Pahalgam as terrorists felt Muslims were being mistreated in the country. The plea further alleged that Vadras remarks were poisonous, separatist, and insensitive, and claimed that he stated the state was pushing forward Hindutva as a justification for the inhuman terror attack. The petitioner contended that Hindus were bound to take exception to such hate speech and apprehended that Vadra was working for Gajwa-e-Hind. The court has been urged to order an SIT probe into Vadras statements to identify the root cause and elements behind the remarks.

Allahabad HC dismisses suspended SHOs petition in Hathras gangrape-murder case
LUCKNOW: The Allahabad High Court dismissed the petition filed by the suspended Station House Officer (SHO) Dinesh Kumar Verma seeking to quash criminal proceedings against him in connection with Hathras gang rape and murder case of a Dalit girl in 2020. The suspended SHO was booked over allegations of dereliction of duty. The High Court bench, comprising Justice Raj Beer Singh, condemned the SHO's conduct as it took into account both procedural violations and a glaring lack of sensitivity in handling the case of the 19-year-old Dalit girl. The accused, who was the then SHO, is currently facing the CBI chargesheet for offences under sections 166A(b)(c) and 167 of the India Penal Code. In fact, as per the chargesheet, the petitioner is accused of failing to stop the media from approaching the victim and capturing her photographs and video inside the police station, despite it being his duty to safeguard the dignity of a victim of a sexual offence. Moreover, he also refused to take the severely injured victim to the hospital, either via a police vehicle or ambulance. Instead, he is accused of compelling the family to arrange a shared auto-rickshaw for transport despite the availability of police vehicles. He is also accused of getting false entries made in the general diary, including the claims that a lady constable was sent to examine the victim's injuries. However, the constable arrived only after the victim was taken to the hospital. The CBI chargesheet also claimed that false entries were made stating that there were no injuries on the victims body without examining them. He even failed to register a case on the basis of the victim's statement. Concluding that the petitioner did not act as per the law, rules and guidelines, CBI filed a chargesheet against him, challenging which he had moved HC. At the outset, the HC bench discarded the argument against instant maintainability of the instant plea, observing that the availability of an alternate remedy of filing an appeal was not an absolute bar in entertaining a petition under Section 482 CrPC. The court said that while the video of the victim shot by the applicant on his mobile established that it was a case of molestation and he failed to protect the identity of the victim and did not stop any media person from contacting her, taking her pictures and making her video, thereby, violating the SOP of the Ministry of Home Affairs. In the second observation, the court said that false entries made in the general diary claiming that the lady constable had gone to examine the victim, which was not the case, were found to be untrue. Significantly, the court specifically referred to Section 44 of the Police Act as applicable to Uttar Pradesh, which provides that it is the duty of every officer in charge of a police station to keep general diary and to make true entries in it. Thus, noting that at this stage, it is not required to conduct a mini-trial, the court dismissed the plea.

Sharia Court, in any name & form, has no recognition in law: SC
NEW DELHI: In a significant judgment, the Supreme Court has held that a 'Court of Kazi,' 'Court of (Darul Kaja) Kajiyat,' 'Sharia Court,' etc., by whatever name or style, have no recognition in law. The Court made this ruling while allowing a Muslim woman's maintenance plea filed under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The bench of the top court delivered this judgment after hearing a plea filed by a woman, Shahjahan, who was challenging the Allahabad High Courts 2018 order. The order had dismissed her revision petition against a 2010 family court decision in Jhansi, which denied her maintenance. The family court had only allowed Rs 2,500 for her two children. A two-judge bench of the top court, led by Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah, stated that any declaration made by such courts is not binding on anyone and is unenforceable by coercive measures. The only way such a declaration or decision can withstand scrutiny in the eyes of the law is when the affected parties accept such declaration/decision by acting on it or accepting it, and when such action does not conflict with any other law. Even then, such declaration/decision, at best, would only be valid inter se the parties that choose to act upon/accept it, and not a third party, the bench said. Explaining the legal position, the top court referred to various previous judgments, including Vishwa Lochan Madan versus Union of India. It cited a case where a Muslim man initially filed a plea in a 'Court of Kazi' and 'Court of (Darul Kaja) Kajiyat' seeking divorce from his wife. In the present case, the family court had allowed only Rs 2,500 for her two children. As per records, the marriage between the appellant and the respondent (husband) was solemnized on September 24, 2002, according to Islamic customs, rituals, and traditions. This was the second marriage for both parties. The top court held that maintenance could not have been denied to the appellant-wife under the prevailing circumstances. It directed the payment of Rs 4,000 per month as maintenance to her, starting from the date of filing the maintenance petition before the family court. The top court also said, A family court is not an institution to sermonize society on morality and ethics. The appellant woman had claimed that her husband had caused mental harassment and cruelty to her because she was unable to fulfill his demand for a motorcycle and Rs 50,000. On this, the family court had stated that since it was their second marriage, there was no possibility of the man demanding dowry, as he would be trying to rehabilitate his household. The top court, after reviewing the family court's observations and order, stated that such reasoning or observations were unknown to the canons of law and were based on mere conjecture and surmise.
SC Upholds Allahabad HC On Mathura Temple

No error in Allahabad HC order impleading Centre and ASI in Shahi Idgah mosque case, says SC
The Supreme Court on Monday said that the order passed by the Allahabad High Court in the Shahi Idgah case, allowing the Hindu side's plea to amend their plaint and add the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) as a party, is prima facie correct. The high court on March 5 allowed an amendment application filed by the Hindu side (plaintiffs) permitting them to incorporate new facts into the suit and add the Union of India and ASI as defendants. Challenging this HC order, the Muslim side had moved the top court and sought quashing of it. The Muslim side, in the top court, opposed the Hindu parties application to amend the suit. They said it was a way to get around their defence, which was based on the Places of Worship Act. During the course of the hearing, the two-judge bench of the top court, led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna and including Justice PV Sanjay Kumar, refused to entertain the appeal of the Muslim side. The Committee of Management of the Shahi Idgah mosque is absolutely wrong in their plea that the Allahabad High Court's decision to allow the Hindu plaintiffs to do so was wrong, the court said. This order of the top court necessarily means that the Hindu plaintiffs have to be allowed to implead the ASI and the Union in the main suits filed on behalf of the deity. The apex court on Monday granted time to the Muslim side to file their reply and deferred the hearing to April 8. The complex is located adjacent to the Krishna Janmabhoomi temple, a site of significant religious importance for Hindus. The Hindu litigants claimed the premises hold signs suggesting that a temple once existed at the site. The mosque committee, in its appeal filed in the apex court, said the lawsuits filed by Hindu litigants over the dispute violated the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, and were therefore not maintainable. It is to be noted that Allahabad High Court judge Justice Mayank Jain had on August 1, dismissed the plea filed by the Shahi Idgah Masjid Committee challenging the maintainability of the suits filed by the Hindu parties seeking restoration of the Lord Krishna temple at the location where the mosque exists. The Hindu parties claimed in the HC that Sri Krishnas birthplace lies beneath the mosque and that there were many signs which established that the mosque was indeed a Hindu temple. On the other hand, the UP Sunni Central Waqf Board sought dismissal of the plea filed by the Hindu side. It argued in the HC that the suits of the Hindu side were barred under the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991 (Places of Worship Act) that prohibited changing the status of any place of worship from what it was on the day of the countrys Independence.
