Bangladesh's ousted PM Hasina and niece, British lawmaker Tulip Siddiq, found guilty of corruption
DHAKA: A court in Bangladeshs capital sentenced ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to five years in prison and her niece, British Labour Party lawmaker Tulip Siddiq, to two years in prison Monday for corruption involving a government land project. Rabiul Alam, the judge of Dhakas Special Judges Court, said Hasina misused her power as prime minister while Siddiq was guilty of corruptly influencing her aunt in helping her mother and two siblings get a land plot in a government project. Siddiqs mother, Sheikh Rehana, was given seven years in prison and was considered the prime participant in the case. The judge also fined the three $813 each and ordered the cancellation of the allotted plot for Rehana. There are 14 other suspects. Khan Mohammed Mainul Hasan, the corruption watchdogs prosecutor, said they had sought life in prison for the prime defendants. Bangladesh says Hasina's extradition issue 'alone' won't deter ties with India We expected life sentences, (but) that did not happen. We will consult with the commission for our next course of action, he said. The prosecution said Siddiq was tried as a Bangladeshi citizen and authorities said they obtained a passport, her national identity card and tax number. But Siddiq disputed the claim and said she is a British citizen, not a Bangladeshi citizen. Siddiq, who represents London's Hampstead and Highgate areas in Britain's Parliament, had earlier denied the allegations and said the trial was a farce built on fabricated accusations and driven by a clear political vendetta. In January, Siddiq resigned as a government minister in the Cabinet of Prime Minister Keir Starmer under pressure because of her ties to her aunt. Siddiq had said she had been cleared of wrongdoing but was quitting as economic secretary to the Treasury because the issue was becoming a distraction from the work of the government. Hasina was sentenced to death in November for crimes against humanity involving the crackdown on the mass uprising that ended her 15-year rule last year. She lives in exile in India, and all of her trials have been conducted in absentia. She and the others in the case decided Monday did not appoint any defence lawyers to represent them. Rehana is staying outside the country and Siddiq's two siblings are also abroad as they face other charges involving last year's uprising. In three separate cases involving the same township project, a separate court on Nov. 27 sentenced Hasina to 21 years in jail . Hasina's son and daughter were also sentenced to five years in jail each by the court in that case. The country is now run by an interim government headed by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus who declared the next parliamentary election will be held in February.

How Australia plans to ban under-16s from social media
Australia will soon ban under-16s from the likes of Facebook and TikTok, a world-first move of huge interest to all those worried about the harms of social media. Internet regulators around the world are watching to see if Australia can rein in the tech giants -- but questions remain as the ban approaches on December 10. Here's what we know about how Australia will enforce the new restrictions. - Prove age - Starting December 10, some of the world's largest social media platforms will be forced to remove all users under the age of 16 in Australia. Hundreds of thousands of adolescents are expected to be impacted, with Instagram alone reporting about 350,000 Australian users aged 13 to 15. Not every Australian will have to prove their age, only those suspected of falling foul of the ban. And young users will still be able to access some social media without logging in -- they just cannot register for their own accounts. - Verification - Social media platforms will be held responsible for weeding out underage accounts. A number of trials have looked at different ways to do so, but the Australian government has so far refused to settle on a universally agreed method. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has started deactivating accounts based on information such as the age given when they were created. Account holders flagged by mistake could verify their age using a video selfie or by providing government-issued ID, Meta said. - Who's in and out - Which platforms fall under the ban continues to be debated. Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok are covered, as are streaming platforms including Kick and Twitch. YouTube was added, despite the government's suggestion that it would be exempt so that children could watch lessons online. Other popular apps and websites such as Roblox, Pinterest and WhatsApp are currently exempt -- but the list remains under review. - Just browsing - Australia expects rebellious teens will do their best to skirt the laws. Guidelines warn they might try to upload fake IDs or use AI to make their photos appear older. Platforms are expected to devise their own means to stop this happening. Of course, no solution is likely to be 100 percent effective all of the time, the internet safety watchdog has said. - Harsh penalties - Australia concedes the ban will be far from perfect at the outset, and some underage users will fall through the cracks as issues are ironed out. But platforms face the threat of $32 million fines if they fail to take easonable steps to comply. It remains unclear how Australia's internet safety regulator would interpret or enforce what counts as reasonable. 'Reasonable steps' means platforms have to act to enforce the restrictions in a way that is just and appropriate in the circumstances, the regulator's guidelines say.

MHA turns downs Haryana govts demand for new assembly building in Chandigarh
CHANDIGARH: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has declined the proposal of the Haryana Government to construct a separate assembly building in Chandigarh. Highly placed sources said that the MHA has advised the senior officials of the Haryana Government not to pursue this matter any further. Sources further said that this kind of land swap might not fall within the purview of the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952, which governs land use in Chandigarh. Earlier this year, the Chandigarh administration had rejected the proposal of the Haryana government to swap land, citing the absence of such a provision in the Chandigarh Master Plan-2031. In 2023, the Chandigarh Administration had agreed in principle to allot a 10-acre plot to the state government for constructing its separate Assembly building. Following this, a prime piece of land was identified near the railway light point The land was near the IT Park in the city, adjacent to a 200-foot-wide road that connects directly to Madhya Marg, which was valued at around Rs 640 crore. In return, the Haryana Government had offered 12 acres of land in the Saketri area of Panchkula to the Chandigarh Administration. However, the administration turned down the proposal for various reasons, including accessibility issues, a natural drain that divides the offered land into two parts, planning constraints, and it being a low-lying area, making it unsuitable for public projects. It was then pointed out that the two pieces of land were not comparable in terms of access and urban planning. According to sources, the main issue with the land in Saketri was the natural drain, which not only bifurcated the plot but also restricted construction in its vicinity. At present, both Punjab and Haryana share the assembly building located in the Capitol Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where new construction is not permitted. The Haryana governments demand for a new assembly building came after anticipation that the 2026 delimitation would increase the number of Assembly constituencies from 90 to 126, and the current state Assembly would not have space for expansion. Recently, the central government made a U-turn on two controversial issues to avoid any confrontation. A few days back, the Union Ministry of Education had withdrawn its notification to restructure the senate and syndicate of Panjab University after sustained political backlash in Punjab and the ongoing protests at the university. The MHA also clarified that no final decision has been taken on a proposal under Article 240, allowing the President to appoint a separate Lieutenant Governor for the Union Territory, which is now administered by the Punjab Governor.

Mumbai businesswoman stripped naked, assaulted at gunpoint by pharma firm MD; case registered

According to the complaint, the woman was called to the pharma company's premises under the pretext of a business meeting. Once there, she claimed the accused forced her to remove her clothes at gunpoint, verbally abused her, and recorded videos and photographs, threatening to make them public if she spoke out. Following her complaint, Mumbai Police registered an FIR against Post and five others under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 354A, 354B, 326, 509, and 506, as well as provisions of the IT Act.

Shashi Tharoor misses key Congress meeting again as ties with party deepen strain
Thiruvananthapuram MP and senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Monday missed yet another crucial party meeting, fueling speculation about his strained relationship with the Congress as the Winter Session of Parliament commenced. The Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, chaired by Sonia Gandhi on Sunday, was convened to finalise the partys strategy for the session, which is expected to be dominated by debates on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls and national security in the wake of the recent Delhi blast. I didnt skip it. I was on a plane coming from Kerala. Thats all, Tharoor told reporters outside Parliament when asked about his absence. His office clarified that he was travelling with his 90-year-old mother at the time, while Congress general secretary KC Venugopal also missed the meeting, citing local body election commitments. #WATCH | #ParliamentWinterSession | Delhi | On not attending the all-party meeting yesterday, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, ... I did not skip it, I was on a plane, coming from Kerala... pic.twitter.com/S0Bb3uGyPb ANI (@ANI) December 1, 2025 Tharoors repeated absences are seen as part of a pattern that has strained his ties with the party, particularly since Operation Sindoor against Pakistan. Earlier, he had skipped a meeting called to discuss the SIR issue, citing ill health, yet attended an event where Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a lecture and subsequently praised the PM on social media. The senior leaders public endorsements of figures like Modi and BJP veteran LK Advani, coupled with his critical remarks on the Nehru-Gandhi family in an article recently , have further accentuated the rift. While he acknowledged dynastic politics in his critique, he refrained from drawing parallels with BJP leaders families, a move that drew both praise and criticism from within and outside the party. Deserves sympathy: KC lashes out at Tharoors remarks on dynastic politics Congress leaders have openly questioned Tharoors allegiance. Spokesperson Supriya Srinate called his praise of the Prime Ministers lecture petty, while former MP Sandeep Dikshit questioned his commitment, asking, If you believe someone is doing good for the country by going against Congress policies, why are you in Congress? If you are not explaining this, then you are being hypocritical. Tharoor, a former member of the Congress rebel group G-23 and a former candidate for Congress president, has long voiced reformist ideas. However, his statements in recent months, particularly his support for government actions following the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, have clashed with the party line, aggravating tensions with senior leadership, including Rajya Sabha Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge. Why are you in Congress if you think BJPs strategies are better: Party lashes out at Tharoor after praise for PM The timing of Tharoors absences is politically significant as Kerala gears up for Assembly polls early next year. Observers suggest that any decision by Tharoor to quit the Congress could have repercussions for the party in its home state. Meanwhile, the Winter Session of Parliament began amid heightened political drama, with the Congress-led Opposition pushing for debates on SIR and national security, underscoring the challenges the party faces in presenting a united front. Despite speculation, Tharoor has downplayed any discord, insisting that he had informed the high command about his inability to attend the meeting. Yet, his repeated absences and independent positions on key issues continue to make him a controversial figure within the party, raising questions about his future role as both a senior leader and a parliamentarian.
