Bills disqualifying PM, CMs aimed at Opposition; creating revolt in regional parties: Akhilesh Yadav
LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday accused the Centre of bringing a legislation disqualifying the prime minister and chief ministers facing serious criminal charges solely to harass the Opposition leaders, pressurise regional parties, and engineer revolts within them. Referring to the Bills introduced in the Lok Sabha to disqualify the prime minister, chief ministers, or ministers placed under arrest for 30 consecutive days on serious charges, Yadav said the move was politically motivated. This government wants to trouble Opposition leaders, create pressure on regional parties and prepare revolts within them. They have deliberately brought this Bill to divert attention from the real debate on how they commit dacoity during elections and steal votes, Yadav told reporters at the party headquarters here. He accused the ruling party of selectively withdrawing criminal cases against its own leaders while using legal action to suppress rivals. Our chief minister (Yogi Adityanath) knew this day would come; that is why cases against him were withdrawn. Cases were also withdrawn for the deputy chief minister. The very people bringing this Bill have admitted in several places that false cases were lodged against them. If they could be falsely implicated, then tomorrow someone else can also be framed, Yadav said. The SP chief cited instances of party leaders being jailed, naming Mohammad Azam Khan, former minister Gayatri Prajapati, MLA Irfan Solanki, and former MP Ramakant Yadav. Look at how our leaders are being sent to jail for years. This shows the misuse of power, he added. Yadav reiterated that his party strongly opposed the Bill, calling it an attack on democratic values and regional political movements. Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday introduced three Bills in the Lok Sabha for the removal of the prime minister, chief ministers, and ministers under arrest for 30 consecutive days on serious charges, drawing fierce protests from opposition MPs who tore up copies of the draft law and marched close to his seat shouting slogans. The Bills were sent by the House to a Joint Committee of Parliament comprising 21 members from the Lok Sabha and 10 from the Rajya Sabha for scrutiny. The three Bills are the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill 2025; the Constitution (One Hundred And Thirtieth Amendment) Bill 2025; and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill 2025. The Bills have proposed that if the prime minister, union ministers or chief ministers are arrested and detained in custody for 30 consecutive days for offences that attract a jail term of at least five years, they will lose their jobs on the 31st day.

INDIA bloc widens outreach beyond allies to shore up support for V-P nominee
With both the NDA and the Opposition INDIA bloc working to mobilise support for their candidates, the upcoming vice-presidential election is shaping into a high-stakes contest. Opposition nominee Justice B Sudershan Reddy is scheduled to meet alliance partners to build consensus and project unity ahead of the September 9 election. The bloc is also seeking to persuade neutral parties such as Naveen Patnaiks Biju Janata Dal (BJD), YS Jagan Mohan Reddys YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), and K Chandrashekhar Raos Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). Reddy has already met Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal after filing his nomination and is scheduled to call on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin in Chennai on Sunday. A delegation, including Congress MPs, will also meet DMK MPs and other allies to secure their support. According to Congress sources, senior party leaders will travel to Lucknow on Monday to meet political leaders and MPs in Uttar Pradesh to expand outreach. With the contest pitting two southern leaders against each other, the Opposition hopes that by fielding Reddy it can mount a credible challenge to NDA nominee CP Radhakrishnan , a seasoned BJP leader from Tamil Nadu with an RSS background. The YSRCP has seven Rajya Sabha MPs and five Lok Sabha MPs, while the BJD has seven Rajya Sabha members. The BRS holds four seats in the Rajya Sabha but none in the Lok Sabha. Although the YSRCP has pledged support to the NDAs candidate, it is learnt that a senior Congress leader met YSRCP MP Y V Subba Reddy in Delhi on Friday to seek backing for the Opposition nominee. According to sources, AAP may approach the BRS in Telangana, as the two parties share close ties, while the Trinamool Congress is expected to reach out to the BJD and other parties. Fence-sitters such as the BJD and BRS have not yet revealed their position, though both have previously backed the Modi government on key legislation in Parliament.

He welcomed judges, retired judges, and judicial officers from across the state, saying the convention symbolised the collective strength and efficiency of the judiciary. Underscoring the fact that UP has the countrys largest High Court, with benches in Prayagraj and Lucknow, Yogi praised the 102-year-old Judicial Service Association for its contribution to social evolution and expressed confidence that judicial officers would continue to set new benchmarks of unity and efficiency.

Referring to the new criminal lawsthe Indian Justice Code, Indian Civil Defence Code, and Indian Evidence Actimplemented from 1 July 2024, the CM praised judicial officers for their swift adaptation. He said the new framework focused on a robust justice delivery system rather than punishment and would prove a milestone in strengthening both the judiciary and democracy. The Chief Minister detailed the governments initiatives to strengthen the judicial system, highlighting major allocations for infrastructure and facilities. He said the government had sanctioned extensive funds for the High Court, including Rs 62.41 crore for residences of Justices in Prayagraj, Rs 117 crore for the Lucknow Bench, and Rs 99 crore for officers and staff housing.

Moreover, 1,645 crore was sanctioned for setting up integrated court complexes in 10 districts, with work already underway in six. These complexes will house district courts, family courts, commercial courts, and motor accident claim tribunals under one roof, said the CM. Reaffirming the governments zero-tolerance policy towards crimes against women and children, the CM said that 381 POCSO and fast-track courts were established. To further strengthen judicial infrastructure, funds of 148 crore in 202324, 239 crore in 202425, and over 75 crore in 202526 were released with central support for the construction of courtrooms and residential facilities.

Emphasising the ongoing modernisation process, CM Yogi said work was underway on an interoperable criminal justice system integrating e-courts, e-policing, e-prisons, e-prosecution, and e-forensics.

Ghaziabad YouTuber, known for cringe content, booked for mocking BSP chief Mayawati
LUCKNOW: YouTuber Puneet Superstar (Prakash Kumar), known for his bizarre and cringe videos, landed in legal soup for calling former UP CM and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati mummy. Puneet was booked by Ghaziabad police following strong protests by BSP leaders. In one of his videos, he had also called Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav papa recently. Puneet, on Tuesday, posted a video on his Instagram account addressing BSP chief Mayawati as 'Mummy' while attaching her photo to his clip. Puneet has 10.8 crore followers in Instagram. The video, in which he repeatedly referred to the BSP chief as 'mummy' mockingly, went viral, drawing sharp reaction from BSP workers as they found it deeply insulting and derogatory. On Wednesday evening, BSP Ghaziabad district president Narendra Mohit, accompanied by Mandal Prabhari Dayaram Sain, Metropolitan Vice-President Pankaj Sharma, and District General Secretary Lekhraj Bauddh, approached Shalimar Garden Police Station in Ghaziabad and submitted a complaint. According to the complaint, Puneet, a resident of Bhopura Extension-2, Ghaziabad, used his Instagram account under the handle puneetsuperr_star to mock BSP chief Mayawati. She is popularly known as Behenji among her supporters and in political circles. Such acts are intended to disrupt social harmony and spread disrespect towards a leader who commands immense respect across the country, the complaint stated. Narendra Mohit, also an advocate, urged the police to take the strictest possible legal action to ensure that no one dares to indulge in such indecent behaviour against public figures in the future. Ghaziabad DCP Nimish Patil confirmed that a case was lodged against the YouTuber under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the IT Act. Facing mounting criticism and an FIR, Puneet quickly posted another video on Instagram, apologising for his actions. Folding his hands in the video, he said: Greetings my friends, last night I made a video about former Chief Minister Mayawati ji. My intention was not to hurt anyones feelings. If anyones sentiments have been hurt, I fold my hands and apologise. I will never make such a mistake again. Jai Shri Ram. The apology video also went viral but little did it pacify BSP workers, who kept on demanding strict action against the social media content creator. However, Puneet_Superstar seems to have a penchant for such antics. Recently, he had posted another video calling Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav his Papa and urged him to buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max. The video had generated quite a buzz online. Over the years, Puneet has built an identity around his unconventional and cringe-inducing content, which has helped him amass millions of followers. However, he has also invited criticism for crossing limits, for being disrespectful and creating content in bad taste. He has more than 208K subscribers on YouTube but earned more fame on Instagram where his short clips consistently attract massive engagement. In 2023, he had featured in Bigg Boss OTT Season 2 with a 24-hour stint inside the house. His behavour was then described as 'cringe'.

Proteas' Matthew Breetzke Makes History With 50-plus Runs In His First Four ODIs
Great Barrier Reef Arena: South Africa wicketkeeper batter Matthew Breetzke created history on Friday as he became the first batter in ODI history to start his career with four consecutive scores of 50-plus. Breetzke achieved the feat during the second ODI against Australia after scoring a powerful 88 off 78 at the Great Barrier Reef Arena, surpassing former India cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu's 48-year-old record. Notably, Sidhu had started his career with four consecutive fifties, but those came across five matches, while Breetzke has played only four ODIs and scored half-centuries in each. Breetzke already holds a world record to his name, having become the player with the highest score on ODI debut when he smashed 150, his first 50-plus score in his first match against New Zealand in Lahore earlier this year. His second half-century came in the same series against Pakistan, in which he scored 83. The wicketkeeper-batter played a 57-run knock in the opening match of the three-match series, which the Proteas won by 98 runs, courtesy of spinner Keshav Maharaj's fifer. The 26-year-old came to bat at number four on Friday, and his innings saw him score eight boundaries and two maximums before he was dismissed by Nathan Ellis and fell short of his century. Breetzke's innings helped stabilise the Proteas innings after two early wickets, with Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton both falling early on in the powerplay. Breetzke stitched together handy partnerships with both Tony de Zorzi (38) and Tristan Stubbs (74). Stubbs' knock came off 97 balls and was studded with three fours and one six.
