He (Vijay) has formed a political party and maintained cordial relations with Muslims. However, he has portrayed Muslims in a negative way as those who spread terrorism in his films. Gamblers and liquor consumers were invited to his Iftar party, Maulana Razvi Bareilvi said. Due to all this, Sunni Muslims of Tamil Nadu are angry with him. They asked for a fatwa. So, in my answer, I have issued a fatwa mentioning that Muslims should not stand with Vijay, he added. #WATCH | Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh | On Fatwa against TVK President Vijay, President of All India Muslim Jamaat, Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi says, ...He has formed a political party and maintained cordial relations with Muslims.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard a batch of petitions challenging the Constitutional validity of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. The Supreme Court indicated that it may pass an interim order to stay certain key provisions of the recently passed Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, and also expressed concern over violence in West Bengal's Murshidabad district. A three-judge bench of Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justices PV Sanjay Kumar and KV Viswanathan said, The one thing that is very disturbing is the violence that is taking place. The issue is before the court, and we will decide. The bench didn't pass any order but suggested that certain provisions may stay, including the inclusion of non-Muslims in Central Waqf Council and Waqf Boards, powers of collectors in deciding disputes over Waqf properties and provisions on de-notifying properties declared as waqf by courts. During the hearing, the bench said that it is considering passing an interim order which will balance equities. We will say - Whichever properties were declared by a court to be Waqf will not be de-notified or be treated as non-Waqf, whether it is Waqf by user or not. Second, the Collector can continue with the proceedings, but the proviso will not be given effect. Third, regarding Waqf Boards and Council... ex officio members can be appointed, but the other members have to be Muslims, said the bench. CJI Khanna was about to dictate the order, but Solicitor General Tushar Mehta representing Centre and other counsels who were appearing for parties defending the Act said they should be heard before passing the interim order.

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. In the past, investigations were conducted into land acquisitions during his postings in Lakhimpur and Bareilly, but he was given a clean chit as the properties were registered under his relatives' names. However, this new probe will reassess all financial transactions related to properties acquired by Prakash and his family, comparing his legitimate income with his expenditures. 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. The ED continues its parallel investigation following Jains arrest, while the income tax department is also gearing up for a financial probe.

With Holi falling on Friday, March 14, Muslim clerics in Lucknow, including the Imam of Lucknow Eidgah, have advised mosques to hold Juma Namaz at 2 pm instead of the usual 12 noon. The Eidgah Imam also urged worshippers to offer prayers at their local mosques rather than travelling to distant ones. The advisory was issued by Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali, chairman of the Islamic Centre of India and an executive member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB). He noted that since Holi celebrations with colours continue until 1 pm, it would be appropriate to schedule Juma Namaz later in the afternoon. Namaz at Jama Masjid Eidgah in Lucknow will also be held at 2 pm instead of 12:45 pm on March 14. In Sambhal, it was decided that Hindus will celebrate Holi until 2:30 pm, after which Muslims will offer Juma Namaz. Senior police officials confirmed that seven companies of the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) have been deployed in the city to ensure peace during the festival. The decision follows a controversy sparked by a Sambhal circle officers remarks suggesting that those uncomfortable with Holi colors should stay indoors , as the festival occurs once a year, while Juma Namaz is held 52 times annually. However, peace committee meetings in the district resulted in an agreement between communities to celebrate the festivals harmoniously. On the peace committee discussions, the Sambhal SP said that talks were held with key people from both sides at the district level, leading to an agreement that Holi celebrations would conclude by 2:30 pm, followed by Juma Namaz. Sambhal District Magistrate Rajender Pensiya stated that the city has been divided into six zones and 29 sectors, with magistrates deployed across all areas to maintain order. When questioned about the possibility of covering mosques with tarpaulin, Pensiya clarified that the decision rests with the local communities. He emphasized that both groups have agreed to celebrate their respective festivals with harmony and mutual respect. Meanwhile, in Bareilly, Maulana Mufti Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi, president of the All India Muslim Jamaat, urged imams to schedule Juma Namaz at 2:30 pm in areas with mixed populations. However, he noted that in predominantly Muslim localities, the prayer timing could remain unchanged. He also advised Muslims to limit outdoor activities for 3-4 hours during Holi and exercise caution when stepping out for essential tasks. Maulana Razvi further urged the community to observe the holy month of Ramzan with patience and discipline, stressing the importance of maintaining peace and avoiding unnecessary confrontations during the festival.

'Throat slit, genitals mutilated...': Man murdered over love affair in Uttar Pradesh
BAREILLY: A 28-year-old man from Bisalpur town in Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit district was allegedly murdered over a love affair. He was found dead with his throat slit and his genitals mutilated, police said on Thursday. Muzammil's body was found tied up and dumped near a canal in the Barkapur area under Izzatnagar police station in Bareilly district on Wednesday. Two people have been arrested, the police said.

Two suspects, Arhan and his friend Guddu from Richhaula village in Pilibhit, have been taken into custody.

Muzammil allegedly had an illicit relationship with a woman from Arhan's family, which had previously caused disputes between them. The accused during interrogation told the police that the deceased had a love affair with his sister and after warning him several times not to meet her, he did not listen due to which he was forced to kill him.

Further legal proceedings and investigation into the case are underway, police added.

J&K incomplete without PoK, terror camps built adjacent to border: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh
NEW DELHI: Describing the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) as the crown jewel of India, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said PoK is nothing more than a foreign territory to Pakistan. Rajnath Singh said, J&K is incomplete without PoK. The people living there are being deprived of a dignified life. Efforts are being made by Pakistan to mislead and provoke them against India in the name of religion. PoK's land is being used for terrorism. Training camps for terrorists are running and launch pads have been built in the areas adjacent to the border. The Indian government is well aware of the situation. Pakistan will have to put an end to its nefarious designs, he added. The Defence Minister was in Akhnoor, Jammu leading the Armed Forces Veterans' Day celebrations. He was addressing around 1,000 ex-servicemen during an event at Tanda Artillery Brigade. He interacted with the ex-servicemen and expressed gratitude to the Armed Forces personnel, both retired & serving, for their selfless service towards protecting the borders with unmatched bravery, dedication, sacrifice and patriotism. Rajnath Singh also described the Veterans' Day celebrations at Akhnoor as a testament to the fact that Jammu & Kashmir has been and will always remain an integral part of India. The Defence Minister added that 2025 is the diamond jubilee year of the 1965 Indo-Pak war, and India's victory was the result of the valour & sacrifice of the Armed Forces. Pakistan has lost every war it fought with India, whether it was the attack in 1948, the war of 1965, the war of 1971 or the Kargil war of 1999. Pakistan has been promoting illegal infiltration and terrorism since 1965 and has tried to influence the local population in J&K. But the people here have always rejected their intentions. Pakistan still resorts to terrorism, he said. Even today, over 80 per cent of terrorists who come to India are from there. The terrorism would have ended in 1965 only, had the then government not turned the strategic advantages gained on the battlefield into disadvantages. The situation on ground has significantly improved since the abrogation of Article 370, he added. Concluding the address, the Defence Minister reiterated the Government's commitment towards the welfare of the veterans, serving soldiers and their families. Terming it as a top priority, he assured that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) will always work beyond its capacity to ensure the well-being of its soldiers, who remain as the assets to the country even after retirement. He enumerated the steps taken by MoD and underlined that the Government stands with the soldiers of the country at every step. As part of the event, Rajnath Singh hoisted a 108-feet high National Flag and inaugurated the 'Akhnoor Heritage Museum'. The museum is a tribute to the rich history and culture of the region. Located on NH-144A connecting Jammu to Poonch, the museum showcases the rich history and legacy of the region. This is the ninth Armed Forces Veterans' Day which was celebrated at multiple locations across the country on Tuesday. Veterans' rallies and wreath-laying ceremonies were organised at a number of places, including Jammu, Mumbai, New Delhi, Pune, Nagpur, Visakhapatnam, Bengaluru, Bareilly, Jaipur and Siliguri to pay respects to the ex-servicemen for their selfless duty and reinforce solidarity towards the Next of Kin of these bravehearts. The Defence Minister asserted that the nation will forever remain indebted to the Armed Forces, adding that every Indian holds deep respect for the gallant soldiers. This respect for the soldiers is ingrained in the values of the country, he said, pointing out that the conduct of multiple Veterans' Day events is one such way to show that respect.

Uttarakhand CM says UCC to be implemented this month; vows action on 'land jihad', 'spit jihad'
BAREILLY: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday highlighted the various initiatives undertaken in the state, reaffirming the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the Devbhoomi this month. Uttarakhand is the first state in the country to have UCC Act, which seeks to establish a uniform and an equal set of rules on marriage, divorce, succession and inheritance for all citizens in the state, except the Scheduled Tribes (STs), irrespective of religion. It makes registration of all marriages and live-in relationships mandatory. We have formulated the Uniform Civil Code law in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand. This is the state's first honour and will be implemented within this month, Dhami said during the inauguration of the 29th Uttarayani Mela in Bareilly. He compared the UCC to India's sacred rivers such as Sharda, Ganga, Saraswati and Kaveri, stating that just as they sustain life across the country, the UCC will work similarly. Regarding the state's tourism and infrastructure initiatives, Dhami said, In Haridwar and Rishikesh, we are planning to develop the Ganga Corridor. Work on a corridor along the Sharda River has also begun. He added that Uttarakhand continues to see an increasing influx of devotees and tourists which would be bolstered by the reconstruction efforts in Kedarnath and the master plan underway at Badrinath Dham. Dhami also announced beautification and restoration efforts for temples in the Kumaon region and development at Purnagiri. It gives me immense joy that more devotees from Uttar Pradesh visit Purnagiri. We are creating the Sharda Corridor, which will enhance the ghats and beautify the area, he said. Uttarakhand police uncover 190 illegal Madrasas, crackdown sparks political controversy The chief minister expressed hope for Uttarakhand becoming a hub for destination weddings and tourism, emphasising the state's growing reputation. Handicraft products from Uttarakhand are gaining recognition among multinational companies and women in the state are doing excellent work. Over one lakh women in Uttarakhand are now earning a substantial income. We will provide them with interest-free loans, he said. On governance and security, Dhami shared progress on several legal reforms, including the anti-conversion law, the introduction of anti-riot legislation and measures to counter exam malpractice. We have taken strong steps by enacting an anti-riot law. Any damages caused during riots will be recovered from the perpetrators. Similarly, with our anti-cheating law, over 100 individuals involved in exam malpractice have been jailed. This ensures fair opportunities for deserving candidates, he added. Dhami mentioned initiatives to combat land jihad, stating that 5,000 acres of encroached land have been freed. He also discussed tackling issues like spit jihad with new laws to maintain public order. Looking ahead, the chief minister announced that the 28th National Games would commence on January 28 in Uttarakhand, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi set to inaugurate the event. Earlier, Dhami inaugurated the 29th Uttarayani Mela where he was accompanied by Bareilly MP Chhatrapal Singh Gangwar, Mayor Dr Umesh Gautam and Cantonment MLA Sanjeev Aggarwal. The three-day fair, held at Bareilly Club Ground, showcases Uttarakhand's culture, music and dance, delighting attendees with performances by local artists and food stalls featuring traditional delicacies. The UCC has been on the BJP's agenda nationally for many years. But the party's government in Uttarakhand became the first to take a concrete step towards implementing it just before the Lok Sabha elections last year. An expert committee formed by Dhami and headed by retired Supreme Court judge Ranjana Prakash Desai submitted a comprehensive draft in four volumes to the state government in February 2024. Acting on the draft, the state government presented the Uttarakhand Uniform Civil Code Bill in the Assembly a few days later and it was passed on February 7. The UCC Act received President Droupadi Murmu's approval on March 11, making the hill state the first in independent India to have a UCC Act. A nine-member state government-appointed panel, chaired by former chief secretary Singh to lay down the rules for the UCC's implementation panel, submitted its final report. Dhami has previously said in no unclear terms that the UCC will be implemented in January.
Tiger's mysterious death near Uttarakhand's Champawat sparks concern, investigation underway
DEHRADUN: In a shocking discovery, a tiger's lifeless body was found just 7 kilometres from the Champawat district headquarters, in the jungle near Hathiya Naula. The incident has sparked widespread concern in the area. Officials from the Forest Department promptly sent the tiger's body for a post-mortem examination. Initial assessments suggest the tiger may have died due to a conflict with another tiger. The discovery was made by a group of women from Dhakna village, including Manju Devi, Rekha Devi, Vimla Devi, Aarti, and Ganeshi, who had ventured into the forest to collect firewood. Spotting the tiger lying on the ground, the frightened women immediately informed the villagers and the Forest Department. Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Naveen Chand Pant and Sub-Divisional Forest Officer (SDO) Neha Chaudhary rushed to the scene with forest personnel to investigate. After an initial assessment, the officials arranged for the tiger's body to be sent to the veterinary hospital in Champawat for a post-mortem. DFO Pant stated, The cause of death has not yet been determined. It is suspected that the tiger may have died due to a conflict with another animal. There are also scratch marks on the body. Sub-Divisional Forest Officer Neha Chaudhary has been instructed to investigate the matter. According to DFO Pant, the male tiger was approximately six years old and measured about 7 feet in length. He added, It is unclear whether the death was due to a mutual conflict or some other accident. The cause of death will be determined after the post-mortem report. Additionally, the tiger's DNA will be tested at the Wildlife Institute of India in Dehradun. Samples will also be sent to IVRI in Bareilly for further investigation. It is noteworthy that Uttarakhand ranks third in India in terms of tiger population, with a total of 560 tigers, according to the latest census. Madhya Pradesh holds the top position with 785 tigers, followed by Karnataka with 563. The investigation into the tiger's death is ongoing, with forest officials committed to uncovering the exact cause.

20-year-old tiger Vikram denied release from Corbett Reserve due to age; remains under expert care
DEHRADUN: In a heart-wrenching development at the Corbett Tiger Reserve, the release of Vikram, a tiger imprisoned for five years following allegations of killing three beat watchers in the Dhikala zone, has been hindered by his age. Now 20 years old and with several teeth lost, Vikram has been waiting for his freedom. Wildlife experts express their concerns, stating, Vikram may still have several years left to live, but due to his advanced age, his release is not feasible. At this stage in his life, he will struggle to hunt other wildlife. Moreover, if released into the wild, younger and more dominant tigers could overpower him and pose a threat to his life. According to sources within the forest department, Vikram has been the centre of attention due to his longevity. He was apprehended at the age of 15 after he killed three. Initially captured and tranquillized, he was held at the Nainital Zoo. However, after exhibiting aggressive behaviour during his six-month stay there, he was transferred to the Dhikala Rescue Center. As per sources from the Corbett Tiger Reserve, the Dhela Rescue Center was completed in 2020, and it was there that this tiger was relocated and named Vikram. Since then, the park administration has been responsible for providing food for Vikram. The Dhela Rescue Center is home to Vikram and eight other tigers, with Vikram being the oldest among them. Speaking to The New Indian Express , Dr Saket Badola, the director of Corbett Tiger Reserve, emphasised the exceptional care provided to tigers housed at the Dhela Rescue Center. The tigers at Dhela Rescue Center are maintained with the utmost attention. Regular comprehensive health check-ups are conducted, he stated. Dr Badola specifically mentioned Vikram, one of the center's resident tigers, noting, Vikram is in perfect health and has received dedicated care throughout his stay here. He was named Vikram due to his massive size. The tiger resides in a spacious enclosure of 600 square meters, which features a water pool where he often enjoys playing. Every aspect of his activity, including his diet, is carefully monitored. During the summer months, he receives supplementsnutrient-rich liquidsalong with meat pieces. In winter, we also pay close attention to his vitamins and minerals, Dr. Badola added. He further explained that samples for health testing are sent to the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) in Bareilly for analysis. Wildlife expert Sanjay Chimwal states, The average lifespan of a tiger in any zoo is typically 18 years. In the wild, however, their lifespan ranges from 12 to 15 years. Wildlife experts attribute Vikram's aggressive behavior to his early upbringing, suggesting that it significantly shaped his personality to be more aggressive.
