Wish To Return As A Capped Player: Prabhsimran Eyes India Debut In Zimbabwe
New Delhi: Punjab wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh is hoping the upcoming T20I series against Zimbabwe becomes the moment he finally makes his international debut, with the uncapped opener saying his immediate goal is to earn his first India cap and make the most of the opportunity if selected. Named in India's squad after impressing in domestic cricket and the IPL, Prabhsimran also described the intense competition for opening slots as a positive challenge and praised fellow youngster Vaibhav Sooryavanshi following their recent stint together with India A. For the 24-year-old, a maiden appearance in India's colours would fulfil one of the biggest ambitions he has carried since taking up the sport. When you start playing cricket, there are two main objectives in your mind, and even in your parents' minds, to represent the country and to play in the IPL. I am playing in the IPL, but now I've gotten this opportunity to represent the country. I got it earlier as well during the Asian Games, but unfortunately, I couldn't play. Now, my only wish is that I return as a capped player this time around and, obviously, perform well there so that I get more opportunities, Prabhsimran told JioStar. Prabhsimran was part of India's squad for the Asian Games but did not feature in a match. With another opportunity now knocking, the opener is eager to translate selection into an on-field appearance and establish himself in the national setup. Competition at the top of India's batting order has intensified with several young players staking a claim through domestic performances and the IPL. However, Prabhsimran believes the battle for places is a healthy one that pushes players to improve. The IPL is such a big platform where you rub shoulders with international players from all around the world, youngsters from across the country, established players representing India, and even legends who are playing alongside you. So, obviously, it is a bit tough. But if you look at it, it's healthy competition. There is so much competition just for the opening spot in the Indian team, and the only thing that comes to mind is, 'Just give me an opportunity, and if I get the chance, hopefully I'll do well', he added. Competition at the top of India's batting order has intensified with several young players staking a claim through domestic performances and the IPL. However, Prabhsimran believes the battle for places is a healthy one that pushes players to improve. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Recently, we went to play the India A series against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, and Vaibhav was there with me too. Watching him bat is so much fun; it brings a lot of joy. Since we were opening together, we got to spend more time together and discuss various things. It was a great experience, Prabhsimran stated.

Peaceful dissent must be protected under Constitution: Ashok Bhan on Delhi protests
New Delhi, July 23: Senior Supreme Court advocate and distinguished fellow at the International Law Centre, Ashok Bhan, has said that recent reports of police action against a peaceful protest organised by the Cockroach Janata Party raise serious constitutional concerns and underscore the need to safeguard democratic dissent. While speaking at a meeting of young lawyers organised by Lawyers Guild, Bhan said the Constitution of India not only permits peaceful protest but expressly protects it through Articles 19(1)(a), 19(1)(b) and 19(1)(c), which guarantee the freedoms of speech and expression, peaceful assembly and association. Bhan said any disproportionate police action, arbitrary detention or excessive use of force against peaceful demonstrators should be subjected to a fair, impartial and transparent inquiry. Accountability is not directed against the police as an institution; rather, it is essential to preserving public confidence in the rule of law, he said, as per Indica News. Bhan said that the police are guardians of the Constitution and not instruments of political partisanship. Their primary responsibility, he said, is to facilitate peaceful democratic expression while maintaining public order, with the use of coercive powers remaining an exception rather than the norm. Referring to Supreme Court jurisprudence, Bhan noted that the apex court has repeatedly described dissent as the safety valve of democracy and said peaceful disagreement cannot be treated as disorder merely because it challenges those in authority. The constitutional principles involved apply equally to every citizen, every political party and every civil society organisation. The erosion of democratic freedoms for one inevitably threatens the freedoms of all, he said. Drawing parallels with India's freedom movement, Bhan said the country's struggle for independence was rooted in peaceful public mobilisation, civil disobedience and moral courage. He cautioned against narrowing the democratic space that had inspired the nation's fight for liberty. At the same time, he emphasised that organisers of public demonstrations have a responsibility to ensure protests remain peaceful, disciplined and respectful of the rights of others, rejecting violence and damage to public property. Calling for constitutional statesmanship, Bhan urged the government to reassure citizens that peaceful dissent would be protected. He also called on police authorities to strengthen professionalism, restraint and accountability, while urging civil society and political leaders across the spectrum to reaffirm their commitment to democratic values. He said India's democracy has earned global respect because of its tradition of accommodating diverse opinions and constitutional dialogue. The true measure of a democracy lies not in how it treats those who support the government, but in how it protects the rights of those who peacefully disagree with it, Bhan said.
