India deserves answers to two pressing questions, says Telangana Deputy CM
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Oct 9 (IANS) Telangana Deputy Chief Minister, Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, said on Friday that India deserves answers to two pressing questions: Who safeguards the integrity of citizens' vote and who stands up for Indian professionals abroad. He said in a post on X that while at home, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi are raising serious questions over alleged 'Vote Chori', the Trump administration has suspended TCS, Infosys, Wipro and other IT giants from a key Green Card certification programme. At home, Shri Rahul Gandhi ji and Smt Priyanka Gandhi ji are raising serious questions over alleged 'vote chori' and electoral integrity, facing detention as they demand the Chief Election Commissioners resignation. Meanwhile, in the US, the Trump administration has suspended TCS, Infosys, Wipro and other IT giants from a key Green Card certification programme, he said. Two different crises of confidence. Two pressing questions for the Centre. Who safeguards the integrity of our vote? Who stands up for Indian professionals abroad? India deserves answers on both, said the Congress leader. The Deputy Chief Minister along with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had joined Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi and other Congress and INDIA Bloc leaders in Thursdays protest at Raj Ghat in Delhi, demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumars resignation over alleged irregularities in Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) Supreme Court judge, Justice Sheel Nagu, on Friday recused himself from hearing the Punjab government's plea challenging the Punjab and Haryana High Court's order directing a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into allegations of corruption involving Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Rajvir Ghuman and others. A Bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Sheel Nagu was to hear the matter when Justice Datta observed that the case could not be heard by Justice Nagu. The Justice Datta-led Bench said it would sign an order directing that the matter be placed before the Chief Justice of India (CJI) for the constitution of another Bench. CJI Surya Kant, who is the master of the roster, will constitute a fresh Bench to hear the Punjab government's plea. The development comes a day after the Supreme Court adjourned the hearing on the Punjab government's plea till Friday, after Justice Datta said the case file had reached the Bench late and Justice Nagu had not had the opportunity to examine the papers. During Thursday's hearing, senior advocate Vikas Singh, appearing for the Punjab government, had sought protection against any precipitative action in the meantime. However, the Justice Datta-led Bench questioned how it could pass an interim order without examining the case file. When we haven't read the file, how can we? it had remarked. The Punjab government has challenged the High Court's October 5 order directing the CBI to take over the investigation into allegations of corruption arising from three letters written by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav. The High Court had directed the CBI to register a case and submit a status report within two months, while asking the Punjab government and police to extend full cooperation to the central investigating agency. The ED had claimed that Ghuman and his associates, Nitin Gohal and Bir Devinder, were interfering in administrative transfers and postings as well as government tenders, and had called for the registration of an FIR. After the Punjab Police did not register an FIR on the basis of the ED's communications, advocate Nikhil Saraf approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court through a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), seeking an independent probe by the CBI. The petition alleged that the communications contained serious allegations concerning persons linked to the Punjab Chief Minister's Office and sought a fair investigation free from the influence of the Punjab Police and Punjab Vigilance. The CBI has already registered an FIR in the matter and initiated an investigation pursuant to the High Court's directions. The agency also conducted searches at eight locations across Chandigarh and Punjab on Tuesday, including the Chief Minister's camp office in Chandigarh and premises linked to Ghuman in Sangrur and Mohali. On Wednesday, Ghuman and other associates were summoned to appear before the CBI's Chandigarh office in connection with the probe.

Smriti need not fill Harmanpreet's shoes, she can chart her own territory: Anjum Chopra
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) Former India captain Anjum Chopra believes Smriti Mandhana does not have to measure herself in stepping up to succeed Harmanpreet Kaur as the sides new captain and should instead carve out her own leadership path after being handed the charge across formats. Smriti was named as India's all-format captain on the same day Harmanpreet stepped down after nearly a decade at the helm. Her first full-time assignment as Indias captain is the home series against Zimbabwe, which opens with three T20Is in Raipur from October 16. Her appointment came after a review meeting was in Guwahati on Monday, featuring her, Harmanpreet, head coach Amol Muzumdar and BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia. Smriti, the left-handed opener, was also part of the selection meeting alongside the Amita Sharma-led selection panel to pick two squads for the Zimbabwe series. Smriti does not need to step into Harman's shoes at all. She has experience leading India - Guwahati games against England in 2019 was the first time she captained the team and fortunately, she has had more time in a leadership role prior to becoming full-time captain than Harman or anyone else had. Smriti can chart her own territory. The challenges the Indian team currently faces are well known, and I am sure Smriti is aware of them. Her biggest challenge will be addressing those gaps, whether in T20s or ODIs, and building on where the team has reached. All these players - Deepti, Smriti, Jemimah - reached this pedestal together. Now it's about taking it to the next level. It's like passing a baton in a relay: Smriti collected it cleanly while already on the run, so she has a head start. How that head start gets converted is how she will be measured in the present and future. How she uses her captaincy experience and her familiarity with this group, as well as the players coming in, to be the leader everyone looks up to for answers is what she will be judged on, Anjum told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Friday. She also said that she doesnt expect Smriti to replicate all of her predecessor's approach. If you weren't looking for a change, why did the change happen? I don't expect Smriti to be a clone of Harman, and nobody should be a clone. You take the best parts of every leader, bring them forward, and make them your own. Smriti has been around the Indian team for a long time now. She doesn't need to clone Harman; she needs to build on everything she has learned playing for India over the last 12 to 13 years. She has captaincy experience, high skill levels, and world travel under her belt - she knows the conditions and the oppositions across the globe. The next step for her is deciding what takeaways to imbibe into her own decision-making and how to push the team forward. If every captain is identical and uses the same template, there is no need for change. No captain should be the same. They need to elevate the team beyond where it was when they received the baton, ensuring that by the time the next person takes over, the team has reached greater heights. That is how the sport progresses, and that is how players grow individually, she elaborated. On how the squad will cope with the transition at the helm, Anjum felt it will be a gentle start considering Zimbabwe are going to play a bilateral series against India for the first time. It's not going to be simple for any player to adapt to that change. The good thing is the Indian team will have a little time to settle in, and I assume there will be a camp before the series starts. This series isn't against a world-number-one side where high tension is running around, so the players will have space and time to adjust. People in that change room will quickly realize they have to look in a different direction for instructions and guidance. Nobody needs to play the elder sister; everyone knows each other well enough, and the players will adapt as they always do. While you have different setups across formats, the captain remains the same for the T20 and ODI sides. How everyone shapes up moving toward the ICC Champions Trophy in India will be closely measured. Everyone has to start defining their own pathway. While the captain makes the ultimate decisions, every player in this team must understand their individual role before they step onto that path collectively. Smriti, India's most prolific all-format batter, previously led India in four ODIs and 18 T20Is, besides captaining Maharashtra in domestic cricket. She guided Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to the Women's Premier League (WPL) title earlier this year, after leading the franchise to its maiden crown in 2024. In September, she went past Mithali Raj to become the highest run-getter in women's international cricket across formats. Her 18 international hundreds are the most by any womens batter, and she also is the first Indian woman to score centuries in all three formats. When you become a full-time leader and start captaining the Indian team, it's the experiences you dwell upon. Smriti has built up a good amount of experience over the years. The WPL is a prime example - when you lead a franchise team in your own country and win titles, you learn a lot about yourself. She has had a very good grooming to become a leader. That's why those statements came out saying she's ready for the captaincy - someone without that background wouldn't say that; they'd simply say, 'I'm looking forward to the challenge.' The language and preparation change when you're ready. How she comes out as the leader of the Indian team is something we will all see. Whatever happened in the past is done. Now the job is clearly defined: you are the captain of the Indian team. What you make of it - the decisions, the preparation, the process - will be what we start analyzing and measuring from here, concluded Anjum.

'For saving democracy': Cong leader on INDIA bloc protests against CEC
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) Backing ongoing protests by the INDIA Bloc, led by the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader Udit Raj said that it is the oppositions role to save democracy. Speaking to IANS, Raj said, When the Election Commission acts wrongly, resulting in the deletion of crores of votes or changes Form, the opposition will raise its voice; that is precisely the opposition's role. And why just the opposition? Every citizen, whether from civil society, an NGO, the student community, the youth, or the media, ought to speak up, because democracy is being murdered. That is why the opposition, under Rahul Gandhi's leadership, is waging this fight... Saving democracy, the Constitution, and the vote is crucial, he added. The Opposition leaders held the third day of protest against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on Thursday. Earlier on Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other INDIA bloc leaders were released by the Delhi Police, hours after their detention during an Opposition protest demanding action against the CEC Gyanesh Kumar. The two leaders were among the protesters who gathered near Akashvani Bhawan after being stopped from marching towards the Election Commission's office. Meanwhile, commenting on the order to close liquor shops in Delhi for two days, Raj said, I fail to see any logic behind shutting them for two days or how that relates to the agitation. However, it might be a diversionary tactic on their part. While the government is certainly free to make such decisions, the rationale escapes me... In a preventive measure for maintaining public order ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest, the Delhi government has ordered all city liquor vends to remain closed for two days, starting from Friday, an official said. The Delhi Excise Department, in a circular issued on Thursday, said, The closure has been ordered as a preventive measure to maintain public order, based on the prevailing situation and inputs received from Delhi Police. The order applies to liquor vends operating under specified licences, including L6, L6FG, L8, L10 and L14. The news about the circular, issued by Deputy Commissioner (Excise)/Licensing Authority Tanvir Ahmad, spread fast in the national capital on Thursday, with regular customers lining up outside government vends to stock up for the two-day closure.

Delhi Police register FIR over assault on Kashmiri youth during INDIA bloc protest
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) Delhi Police have registered an FIR against unidentified persons following a complaint by a Kashmiri youth who was allegedly assaulted a day earlier during a protest by Congress leaders in the Connaught Place area of the national capital. According to Delhi Police sources, the complainant claimed to be a fan of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and alleged that Congress workers assaulted him after he arrived at the protest site carrying a photograph of the Prime Minister on Thursday. However, the police said all aspects of the incident would be investigated. Speaking to reporters, Fahim Nazir, a resident of Srinagar, said, EVMs were brought by Rajiv Gandhi for the first time in 1998. You all have the footage. I did not abuse Rahul Gandhi, but I was beaten badly. He further said he had taken the initiative to make people aware of what he described as a conspiracy to turn India into Nepal or Bangladesh. Questions should be asked of Rahul Gandhi. This is freedom of speech, he said. The youth had reportedly arrived at the protest site and was allegedly roughed up by a group of protesters after raising slogans in support of PM Modi. The protesters, however, alleged that he had verbally abused the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi. A video of the incident circulating on social media shows the man being surrounded, pushed, dragged and repeatedly hit by people in the crowd. The youth later alleged that he was assaulted by Congress workers for supporting the Prime Minister, while denying that he had abused Rahul Gandhi. The incident triggered a political backlash, with BJP leaders condemning the alleged assault. BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari shared the video on social media and accused Congress workers of displaying an anarchist mindset. Another BJP spokesperson, Sajid Yousuf Shah, also criticised the alleged assault, questioning the Congress' commitment to dissent and freedom of expression. Meanwhile, the Congress and other opposition parties have been staging protests over alleged discrepancies in the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The demonstrations have also targeted Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The Permanent Missions of India and Mali to the United Nations jointly organised the event at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, said the Ministry of Textiles. The event brought together Members of Parliament from India, representatives of Member States and international organisations to discuss cottons contribution to livelihoods, value addition and the Sustainable Development Goals. Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, Permanent Representative of India to the UN, recalled Mahatma Gandhis association of cotton and the spinning wheel with self-reliance, dignity and Indias freedom struggle. Parvathaneni highlighted four priorities: supporting producers livelihoods; expanding value addition and access to markets; promoting sustainability; and strengthening technology and partnerships. He also emphasised the need for affordable inputs and finance, support for smaller enterprises, and South-South and triangular cooperation to help cotton-producing countries retain more value and advance the SDGs. Ambassador Issa Konfourou, Permanent Representative of Mali to the UN, highlighted cottons importance to Malis economy and rural livelihoods.

Will comply with US directive, won't hit workforce, says TCS amid 'PERM' curbs
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) -- India's largest IT firm -- said Friday that it noted the announcement by the US Government on the Permanent Labor Certification Program (PERM) and will comply with any directive from the Department of Labor. In an exchange filing, TCS said its workforce strategy in the US is anchored in hiring local talent because of a robust campus recruitment model. We have built a significant local workforce across 31 offices and delivery centers throughout the country. As we had announced earlier, we intend to hire an additional 15,000 people in the US over the next five years, to further augment our local workforce, the company said. Our PERM applications were in single digits in the last two years and hence we do not expect the suspension of the program to impact our workforce strategy and customer engagements, it said. The statement comes after US Labour Secretary Keith Sonderling announced suspension of six outsourcing companies, including India's Infosys, Tata, Wipro and HCL, along with Cognizant and Capgemini, from the PERM programme following investigations by the Department of Labor's Inspector General. The action stops acceptance of new PERM applications involving the companies and processing of pending applications. Earlier, IT industry body Nasscom said the number of employees transitioning from H-1B visas to permanent residency through PERM process is relatively limited. The H-1B visa programme has historically played an important role in addressing short-term skill gaps in the US... However, over the past few years, Indian technology companies have significantly reduced their dependence on H-1B visas, while steadily expanding local hiring, Nasscom said. Separately, Microsoft said the vast majority of its US employees are Americans. Of about 6,000 H-1B applications submitted last fiscal, 80 per cent were to extend or change status of existing employees and not to hire new people, the company said. Remaining filings for new employees were for individuals already legally in the US and equal only 1 per cent of its US workforce, the tech giant said.
Trust institutions; defeat govts through elections, says former SC Judge Hemant Gupta
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) Former Supreme Court judge Hemant Gupta on Friday urged people to trust institutions, saying that those dissatisfied with the government should seek to defeat it through elections rather than question the system after electoral losses. Speaking to IANS, Gupta said, My point would be that you should trust institutions. You may have issues with the governments, elections will come, and you can defeat them then. It is simple. But when you fail to win, claiming that only what you say on the streets is correct is wrong. That is not how a system works. He pointed out that opposition parties had formed governments in some places through the same electoral system, while other parties had done so elsewhere. Recalling the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Gupta said the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, had claimed that the Congress had defeated the BJP. However, he questioned the assertion, noting that Congress had won 99 seats and failed to secure a majority. That statement was misleading back then, and today the rhetoric is even more misleading, he said. Gupta also emphasised that the tenure of an Election Commissioner was protected by law, similar to that of a judge, and that they could not be removed arbitrarily. An Election Commissioner's tenure is as secure as that of a judge; they can only be removed through impeachment, not arbitrarily. Anyone can demand a resignation, but some individuals use extremely offensive language, he said. Objecting to what he described as disrespectful language against Election Commissioners, Gupta said they deserved to be addressed appropriately. The Commissioners are old enough, the same age as one's father or grandfather. Referring to someone disrespectfully as Gyanu is unacceptable. Would anyone address their own father in such a manner? Even if one chooses not to use honorifics like Shri or Ji, they should at least address them properly by name, he told IANS. Reacting to a letter written by 42 former judges in support of the Election Commission, Gupta said a lack of trust in institutions could undermine public confidence in the country's system. If we don't trust institutions, the nation's trust collapses. We approach the court with every grievance, and Members of Parliament raise issues in Parliament. If you start disbelieving every institution, where will the system go? This is a manufactured distrust created to serve political ends, he said. Gupta also commented on the recent demonstrations and media coverage surrounding the Election Commission, saying that the developments had prompted responses from different sides. Over the last two or three days, there has been a lot of movement, demonstrations and a public narrative in the media. A counter-version had to come, he said. Referring to a report in the leading Indian daily about alleged internal differences or the non-approval of certain Special Intensive Revision (SIR) resolutions, Gupta said an explanation had also emerged that all decisions were unanimous. During discussions, different views naturally emerge, just like in court, before a unanimous opinion is reached, he told IANS.
