Governor shedding crocodile tears: Tamil Nadu Minister Chezhiaan

CHENNAI: Higher Education Minister Govi Chezhiaan on Monday said Governor RN Ravi was shedding crocodile tears over the plight of Dalits in the state and blamed him for remaining silent on the atrocities happening against Dalits in BJP ruled states. Citing data released by the centre, the minister said the six BJP-ruled states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, and Maharashtra accounted for 81% of cases filed for atrocities against Dalits while Tamil Nadu accounted for 3%. The minister was responding to the governors speech at the BR Ambedkars birth anniversary event held at Raj Bhavan on Monday. Chezhiaan alleged that Ravi, who upheld the principles of Manu and Sanatana Dharma, which according to the minister are the fundamental reasons for caste atrocities, was criticising Tamil Nadu in an absurd manner as he was unable to digest the recent landmark verdict of Supreme Court against him.

Teenage girl from Assam found dead in missionary school hostel in Madhya Pradesh; police suspect suicide

BHOPAL:A 16-year-old girl from Assam was found dead in the hostel room of a missionary school in the Satna district of Madhya Pradesh. The educational institution management has alleged it as a case of suicide, and the police too are suspecting it to be a suicidal death. The local VHP leaders, however, are demanding a deeper probe into the matter. The teenage girl identified as Pratima Bhagwar originally hailing from Sonitpur area of Assams Golaghat district was enrolled in the school for the last six months and was staying in the hostel run by the same institution. As per the hostel staff, on Sunday evening, the teenage girl allegedly hanged herself to death while there was no one else in the room. She was rushed to the hospital, where the doctors declared her brought dead. The girl was enrolled in the Pushp Sadan Convent School-cum-hostel last year. On Sunday evening, we were informed that she had died by suicide. The body has been kept in the mortuary after the autopsy, and her family in Assam has been informed about it, Satna Civil Lines police station in-charge Yogendra Singh Parihar said. An inquest report has been lodged in the matter, and further investigations are underway, he added. While the police are investigating the possible causes behind the alleged suicide, according to informed sources, the teenager had talked to her sister in Assam over the phone a few hours before the alleged suicide. Though the police suspect it to be a case of suicide, VHP and Bajrang Dal activists in Satna district have alleged atrocities in the hostel to be behind the girls death. After the girls death, an important official of the educational institution first introduced himself as the relative of the deceased girl, but later changed his statements, saying that she wasnt related to her as he was an official there. Why such contradictory statements within a few minutes? The police should investigate the matter in detail, rather than treating it as a case of suicide, VHP leaders Abir Dwivedi and Vikram Chaudhary alleged. According to sources privy to the ongoing police investigation, the deceased girls phone has been seized, and multiple persons associated with the hostel and the school are being questioned.

Moulvi Yusufuddin: The man who took on the might of the British Empire and left it red-faced

HYDERABAD: In the annals of Hyderabads history, few figures played a more crucial role than Moulvi Syed Muhammad Yusufuddin, whose life intertwined with the political machinations of British India in the late 19th century. His career as a top administrative officer in the Nizams government was replete with intrigue, daring exploits and legal battles and offers a glimpse into the complexities of colonial-era diplomacy and the resilience of Hyderabads nobility. Born into a distinguished family in Hyderabad, Moulvi Yusufuddin embarked on a career in public service. His acumen and dedication saw him rise from a junior Talukdar to the position of Subedar of Gulbarga. Beyond his administrative roles, Moulvi Yusufuddin was a man with a visionary mindset; he was the first to propose the construction of a dam at Srisailam to benefit vast tracts of farmland and pioneered the design of an Urdu-script typewriter. The political landscape of the time was fraught with challenges. Following the demise of Nawab Afzal-ud-Dowlah in 1869, the infant Nawab Mir Mahbub Ali Khan ascended as the Sixth Nizam of Hyderabad. A Council of Regency managed the states affairs until the young Nizam came of age. However, the greed of the British, who had expanded their control all over India, was insatiable. Central to their evil designs on Hyderabad was Berar, a fertile region in present-day Madhya Pradesh. Historically, the Nizam had ceded Berar to the British under agreements that were supposed to be temporary. Despite repeated appeals by the Hyderabad government for its return, the British remained unwilling to let go of such a prized catch. The persistence of the Hyderabad government forced the British to propose a deal: they would develop Berar using its revenues and, to finance this, would facilitate loans to the Nizam through their network of moneylenders. However, these loans came with inflated costs and opaque accounting, plunging Hyderabad into a debt trap. The culmination of this financial manoeuvring was an agreement that required the Nizam to cede Berar in exchange for debt clearance a pact secured under dubious circumstances, with allegations suggesting the Nizam was inebriated at the time of signing. Portrait of Moulvi Syed Muhammad Yusufuddin | Special Arrangement Distressed by the almost-certain loss of Berar, the Nizam turned to Moulvi Yusufuddin, known for his problem-solving prowess. Recognising the gravity of the situation, Moulvi Yusufuddin volunteered for a perilous mission: to retrieve or nullify the contentious agreement before it could be ratified by the Viceroy in Shimla. Aware that Shimla was the summer capital of the British government and that the Viceroy would spend the season there, Moulvi Yusufuddin preemptively established residence opposite the Viceroys quarters. By the time the Viceroy reached Shimla, Moulvi Yusufuddin had endeared himself to the Viceroys staff. He also capitalised on the British fondness for canines. The dogs procured by the Moulvi were of pristine breed, admired by every canine lover. This facilitated frequent interactions. The specifics of how Moulvi Yusufuddin got his hands on the crucial agreement remain unclear. What is clear is that a chase followed, with the British hot on the heels of the officer from Hyderabad. Somewhere during the chase, Moulvi Yusufuddin destroyed the agreement. There are varying accounts about how some say he tore it and swallowed the bits, others believe that it was set alight. Some others believe that he managed to send it through a confidant to the Nizam to reassure the ruler. Regardless of the method, Moulvi Yusufuddin successfully thwarted the British plans to formalise the cession of Berar. Well aware of the fallout, Moulvi Yusufuddin chose to face the consequences head-on. He allowed himself to be arrested on October 21, 1895, and searched. When the British could not find the agreement with Moulvi Yusufuddin, they booked him for abetting bribery. However, they could not even prove this charge since they could not admit that the agreement, which was nefariously obtained, even existed. Having no other option, on November 30, 1895, the British let Moulvi Yusufuddin go on bail. This is exactly what Moulvi Yusufuddin wanted to embarrass the British. The fact that Moulvi Yusufuddin was arrested on railway property within the Nizams Dominions did not help the British cause. In his petition, Moulvi Yusufuddin raised questions about jurisdiction and the extent of British authority in princely states. The ensuing legal battle reached the Judicial Committee in Kolkata. The crux of the matter was the legality of Moulvi Yusufuddins arrest on sovereign Hyderabad territory. The court concluded that, given the territorial sovereignty of the Nizam and the absence of explicit jurisdictional rights granted to the British over the railway lands, the arrest was unlawful. Consequently, all charges against Moulvi Yusufuddin were dismissed, marking a major victory against colonial overreach. In 1897, he filed a case against the British government for wrongful arrest and named Queen Victoria the first respondent. Moulvi Yusufuddin also sought compensation of Rs 3,81,500, a princely sum indeed. Unwilling to pay, the British appealed, and this case reached the Privy Council in Lahore. In 1900, the Privy Council upheld that the arrest was unlawful, but denied Moulvi Yusufuddin the compensation on the grounds of the statute of limitations. Following his exoneration, Moulvi Yusufuddin chose not to resume his administrative duties. Back in Hyderabad, a grateful Nizam offered him titles and land, which Moulvi Yusufuddin refused. Instead, he proposed that his accountant, Rustum ji, be given a title. Subsequently, Rustum ji became Rustum Jung. A year later, the Nizam again offered Moulvi Yusufuddin a title. This offer was politely refused, and the name of a scientist was proposed. Irrepressible as ever, Moulvi Yusufuddin chose to channel his energies into other endeavours, including constructing the Yusuf Manzil. This edifice, perched atop a hillock in Tolichowki, Hyderabad, served as a farmhouse and later as a family residence. The surrounding area, known as Yusuf Tekri or Yusuf Tekdi, stands as a testament to his legacy.

Pact with dairy board will double milk collection in MP co-op sector: Shah

BHOPAL: The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and the MP Dairy Federation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Bhopal on Sunday, in the presence of Union Minister for Cooperation Amit Shah and Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. This agreement aims to expand, diversify, and modernize the cooperative dairy sector in Madhya Pradesh. Addressing the state-level cooperatives conference thereafter, Shah said, The MoU between the NDDB and the state dairy federation targets doubling milk collection by the state cooperative sector from the current 12 lakh litres to 24 lakh litres. MP produces 5.5 crore litres of milk, which accounts for 9% of the countrys total milk output. However, less than 1% of milk comes from dairy cooperatives. Even when it comes to surplus or marketable milk, which is left after domestic consumption, only 2.5% of 3.50 crore litres comes from dairy cooperatives. Only 17% of villages in MP have milk collection facilities. The MoU has created scope for increasing dairy cooperatives penetration to the remaining 83% villages, Shah said. Without naming the Congress regimes in the past at the Centre, Shah said that the cooperative movement had almost died in many states, as the existing laws remained unchanged to keep in sync with changing times. Seventy-five years after the countrys independence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi created a separate ministry for cooperation (cooperatives) at the centre. In 3.5 years, weve worked to usher sea change, particularly by framing model bylaws to foster the growth of primary cooperative societies.

Congress alleges BJP MLA's son forcibly entered into temple in MP, beat up priest; ruling party denies

BHOPAL: The Congress on Sunday alleged that the son of a BJP MLA was involved in the incident wherein a group of people forcibly entered into the famous Mata Tekri temple in Madhya Pradesh's Dewas after it had closed. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, however, denied the allegations against the MLA's son and said action was being taken against those accused in the case pertaining to the incident. A group of people forcibly entered the temple on the intervening night of Friday-Saturday after it had closed for the nighr and allegedly beat up its priest as he refused to let them in, police earlier said. The police on Saturday registered a case, in which the MLA's son was not named. The CCTV footage of the incident emerged on social media, which showed some SUVs, a couple of them with red beacons, entering into the temple premises, located on a hill in Dewas city. Reacting to the incident, state Congress chief Jitu Patwari alleged, The arrogance of power has now grown in the family tree of the BJP leaders. The son of Indore MLA Golu Shukla, who had reached the Chamunda Mata temple in Dewas, got down from the convoy of cars with red lights and beat up the priest because he was not opening the door of the closed temple.

Asked about the Congress' allegations, state BJP spokesman Pankaj Chaturvedi said there was no involvement of MLA Golu Shukla or his son in the incident. Those who were responsible for the incident were already booked by the police. Legal action will be taken against all the accused involved in the incident, he said. Earlier, City Superintendent of Police Dinesh Agrawal on Saturday told reporters that the group members asked the priest to open the gates, and when he refused, he was allegedly abused and beaten up. An FIR was registered against them and the footage of some 50 CCTV cameras was being examined, he said. Asked if the son of a BJP leader led the group, Agrawal said the case was under investigation.

126 lightning deaths recorded in East, Central India between April 10-12

NEW DELHI: At least 126 deaths due to lightning have been recorded in Central and Eastern India, mostly in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, over the past two days. The region received thunderstorms and lightning on April 10-11. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that continued extreme weather conditions, along with strong winds and hailstorms will prevail in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and eastern India for the next few days. An advisory has been issued urging the public to take precautions. According to the State Disaster Management Authority of Bihar, at least 82 people lost their lives in the state as a result of thunderstorms and lightning between April 10 and 11. Meanwhile, officials from the Uttar Pradesh State Disaster Management reported that at least 23 people were killed across various districts, particularly near the Nepal border. Chhattisgarh report six followed by Jharkhand five and Odisha four. Nepal has also confirmed that at least eight people have died from lightning. Central Indian states such as Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh, along with Eastern States like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Odisha, are among the most lightning-vulnerable regions. Tribals and lower strata of the society are the most vulnerable. Their housing patterns and reliance on the land contribute to their vulnerability. However, these death could be preventable as the IMD has issued a warning for thunderstorms accompanied by rainfall and lightning across eastern and central regions of the country, including Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. In contrast, western regions like Gujarat are expected to experience heatwaves. An IMD scientist noted that on April 9, thundercloud formations developed over Haryana, Uttarakhand, and adjacent areas, moving toward eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, bringing with them lightning. Lightning, thunderstorms kill 61 in Bihar; CM Nitish Kumar announces Rs 4 lakh ex-gratia Lightning is caused by two main factors: moisture and heat. The weather conditions over the past week have created a conducive environment to lightning incidents. Dry conditions resulting from extreme heat last week, combined with the influx of moisture due to a western disturbance and cyclonic circulation over Rajasthan and Punjab, have intensified thunderstorm activity accompanied by lightning, explained Debashish Jena, a weather scientist and research scholar at G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Uttarakhand. Col. Sanjay Srivastava, the Convener of the Lightning Resilient India Campaign and also chairman of Climate Resilience Observing System Promotion Council (CROPC), stated that casualties from lightning strikes are entirely preventable and criticized state governments for not implementing adequate measures to minimize these deaths. CROPC document lightning related casualty and damage. Recently, states like Odisha and Andhra Pradesh have reduced lightning-related fatalities by nearly 70% within a relatively short timeframe, Srivastava noted. He also explained that the IMD had issued early warnings to disaster management authorities in each district about the potential for lightning events. However, district magistrates, who serve as the chairpersons of the District Disaster Management Authority, seldom engage in public awareness campaigns. These campaigns are crucial for informing people about safety measures, such as avoiding open fields and not seeking shelter under trees during storms, Srivastava added. According to the Lightning Detection Network of the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), lightning strikes in India increased by 53% between 2019 and 2023. In some states, the rise exceeds 300%. Lightning incidents include both inter-cloud (IC) and cloud-to-ground (CG) events, which have surged from 13.8 million in 2019-20 to 20 million in 2022-23. Scientists are particularly concerned about the rise in CG lightning strikes, as these incidents primarily result in damage to human lives and property. Our data shows that CG lightning strikes rose from 5.16 million to 7.26 million in the past three years, which is a major concern, stated Srivastava. Experts believe that the increase in lightning is a stark indication of climate change. Global warming has intensified the heat, leading to a rise in sea surface temperatures and the melting of ice in the Himalayas and other mountains worldwide, which results in increased moisture in the atmosphere,said Dr.Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, Director General of Meteorology at the India Meteorological Department. Additionally, the region encompassing the central river basins of the Ganges, Sone, and Mahanadi, as well as the mountain ranges of Vindhyachal, Satpura, Kaimur, and Vidarbha, is particularly prone to lightning strikes, leading to significant casualties. Over the past two decades, 75% of fatalities occurred in just eight states, primarily located in these high-risk areas. Madhya Pradesh leads in casualties, followed by Maharashtra, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal.

Ahead of Ambedkar Jayanti, Madhya Pradesh names newest wildlife sanctuary after Dr B R Ambedkar

BHOPAL: Ahead of Dr. B.R. Ambedkars 134th birth anniversary, the BJP-led Madhya Pradesh government has named its 25th wildlife sanctuary in his honour, dedicating it to the Father of the Indian Constitution. The state forest department issued on Friday, a notification declaring 258.64 square km of protected forest area in the North Sagar forest division of the Bundelkhand region as Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Wildlife Sanctuary. The protected forest area of two development blocks of Sagar district, including Banda and Shahgarh, will form part of the new sanctuary. Following Friday's two-page notification, the new sanctuary will be the first wildlife sanctuary, national park or wildlife sanctuary in MP to be named after Dr BR Ambedkar -- who was born on April 14, 1891, in Mhow town of MPs present Indore district. While it would be the first wildlife sanctuary in MP to be named after Dr BR Ambedkar, the neighbouring Uttar Pradesh, already has Dr BR Ambedkar Bird Sanctuary in the Kunda area of the Pratapgarh district. The new sanctuary, declared through a notification on Friday, assumes particular significance, as it will serve as the protected and secured wild corridor between Panna Tiger Reserve in Bundelkhand region and the recently declared Madhav Tiger Reserve in the Gwalior-Chambal region. A tiger-cheetah corridor is the ambitious idea of central and state governments in the Gwalior-Chambal region of MP and adjoining Rajasthan, spanning from Madhav National Park-Tiger Reserve in Shivpuri district to the Ranthambore National Park-Tiger Reserve in Rajasthans Sawai Madhopur district, via the first of home African cheetahs in India the Kuno National Park in MPs Sheopur district. Once Madhav Tiger Reserve and Panna Tiger Reserve get connected with the new wild corridor the Dr BR Ambedkar Wildlife Sanctuary it will lead to the emergence of perhaps the longest and largest tiger corridor of North-Central India. According to sources in the state forest department, the MP CM Dr Mohan Yadav is likely to publicly unveil the new wildlife sanctuary on the Ambedkar Jayanti on Monday. This newest development of declaring a new wildlife sanctuary in the tiger-cheetah-leopard-wolf-gharial and vulture state, is the third major development in wildlife and forest conservation in the central Indian state, after declaring of two new tiger reserves Ratapani Tiger Reserve in central MP and the Madhav Tiger Reserve in the Gwalior-Chambal region. Not just that, but the state is likely to get two more wildlife sanctuaries by the end of this month in form of the Omkareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary (a project which has been pending since decades) between Dewas and Khandwa districts of western and southwestern MP and the Jahangarh Wildlife Sanctuary which will neighbor the Kuno National Park in Sheopur district. While Omkareshwar Sanctuary which is proposed to come up in 614.07 square kms will serve as the western limit of tiger movement in MP, the Jahangarh Sanctuary is planned to come up in 6.32 square kms.

High alert on MP-Chhattisgarh border as bird flu kills 35 crows in eight days

BHOPAL: High alert has been sounded on the Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh border in the wake of a bird flu outbreak among wild crows in Jhik Bijuri area of the central Indian states Shahdol district. At least 35 wild crows have died since April 2 in a radius of 1.5 km in Jhik Bijuri area, which is around 110 km from MPs Shahdol district headquarters and just 5-7 km from the Koriya district of Chhattisgarh. The sudden deaths of crows started on April 2 in the area, prompting the authorities in Shahdol district to send samples of crows (two dead crows) to ICAR-National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases in Bhopal. On April 8, the institute confirmed the presence of the bird flu (avian influenza) causing H5N1 influenza virus. All the 35 crows who have died since have been buried adequately in pursuance with the necessary safety protocols. Since then, high alert has been sounded in Jhik Bijuri and adjoining areas, and a three-tier security and surveillance system has been put in place for proper security and surveillance of crows and other birds in the concerned area. As there are no commercial poultry farms/shops in the area, our special surveillance teams are conducting surveys of small backyard poultries of individual villagers to monitor poultry health, Dr Ram Kumar Pathak, deputy director of animal husbandry department in Shahdol district said. So far, avian influenza symptoms and deaths have been limited to crows and poultry, with no impact on other bird species. A control room has been set up to coordinate ongoing surveillance efforts. Since April 2, a total of 35 crows have died in the area, with the most recent deaths reported on Thursday. While confirming the developments, the Shahdol districts chief medical and health officer Dr Rajesh Mishra said, Our special medical teams are also conducting surveys of human population in the concerned area, but nothing has so far been found to suggest any possibility of the bird flu infection having sneaked into the humans. Our community health center in Jhik Bijuri, however, has been put on heightened alert. The current bird flu outbreak among animals began about a month and a half after avian influenza was reported to have infected and killed cats and poultry in Madhya Pradeshs Chhindwara district in the Mahakoshal region.

Tasmac bets on new beers to hit high sales

CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac) is introducing at least four new beer brands in its retail outlets to offer more choices to the consumers in its bid to boost sales. While Tasmac has already introduced a beer named Block Buster, made by an Andhra Pradesh-based brewery, officials said three more brands will be introduced soon. Black Fort and the wheat beer Woodpecker, both manufactured by the Madhya Pradesh-based SOM Distilleries Private Limited, are among the other three. The move comes amid a 12% dip in the sale of beer in the first week of April, compared to the same period last year. According to data accessed by TNIE, from April 1 to 7 this year, Tasmac sold 7.97 lakh cases of beer (each case containing 12 bottles), while it sold 10.88 lakh cases in the same period in 2024. However, Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) sales have gone up slightly by 2.24% in this period. A Tasmac official told TNIE, We are procuring Block Buster beer from AP. It is now available at all Tasmac outlets across TN. Usually, during the summer months (March to June), there is a rise in beer consumption as people prefer chilled drinks. We have already asked all district managers to maintain sufficient stock. Tipplers can enjoy the other new brands, mostly from next week.He added, Some districts received rain in the first week of this month, which might have affected beer sales. However, we expect better sales in the coming days. Fluctuations like this are common during the season. Some customers in the city, meanwhile, raised concerns about the lack of variety in several retail outlets. M Suresh Babu (32) and his friends from Saidapet told TNIE, Though Tasmac is adding new brands, many prefer private bars because they offer more variety. In most Tasmac shops, only a select few brands are available even though the official menu lists over 30 brands.

SC to hear on April 16 pleas challenging validity of Waqf Amendment Act, anti- religious conversion laws

NEW DELHI: A Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna will hear on April 16 as many as 10 petitions, including the one filed by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), challenging the constitutional validity of the Waqf (Amendment) Act , 2025. According to the apex court website, besides the CJI, Justices Sanjay Kumar and KV Viswanathan are part of the three-judge bench for hearing the petitions. In addition to AIMPLB's plea, the court has listed for hearing the petitions filed by AAP leader Amanatullah Khan, Association for the Protection of Civil Rights, Arshad Madani, Samastha Kerala Jamiathul Ulema, Anjum Kadari, Taiyyab Khan Salmani, Mohammad Shafi, Mohammed Fazlurrahim and RJD leader Manoj Kumar Jha. A few other petitions are yet to be listed before the bench by the apex court registry. The Centre, on April 8, filed a caveat in the apex court and sought a hearing before any order was passed in the matter. A caveat is filed by a party in the high courts and the apex court to ensure that no orders are passed without hearing it. The central government on Tuesday notified the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, which got the assent of President Droupadi Murmu on April 5 after its passage from Parliament following heated debates in both houses. The bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha with 128 members voting in favour and 95 opposing it. It was cleared by the Lok Sabha with 288 members supporting it and 232 against it. The Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), Congress MPs Imran Pratapgarhi and Mohammad Jawed are other key petitioners. On April 7, a bench headed by the CJI assured senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, to consider listing the petitions. The DMK moved the top court through its deputy general secretary A Raja and said in a press release, Despite widespread opposition, the Waqf Amendment Bill, 2025 was passed by the union government without proper consideration of the objections raised by the members of the JPC and the other stakeholders. The party said the immediate implementation of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 infringes and prejudices the rights of about 50 lakh Muslims in Tamil Nadu and 20 crore Muslims in other parts of the country. The AIMPLB filed the plea in the top court late April 6. In a press statement, SQR Ilyas, the AIMPLB spokesperson, said the petition strongly objected to the amendments passed by Parliament for being arbitrary, discriminatory and based on exclusion. The amendments, it said, not only violated the fundamental rights guaranteed under Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution of India but also clearly revealed the government's intention to take complete control over the administration of Waqf, therefore, sidelining the Muslim minority from managing their own religious endowments. Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution ensure freedom of conscience, the right to practice, propagate religion, and the right to establish and manage institutions for religious and charitable purposes, it said. The plea is settled by advocate M R Shamshad, with advocate-on-record Talha Abdul Rahman representing the Muslim personal law board, through its General Secretary Maulana Fazlur Raheem Mujaddidi. Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind also filed a petition in the apex court, claiming it was a dangerous conspiracy to strip Muslims of their religious freedom. In its petition, Jamiat said the law was a direct attack on the country's Constitution, which not only provides equal rights to its citizens but also grants them complete religious freedom. Waqf Bill: A direct attack on India's secular structure, say religious and legal experts In its separate plea filed in the top court, Samastha Kerala Jamiathul Ulema, a religious organisation of Sunni Muslim scholars and clerics in Kerala, has claimed the Act was a latant intrusion into the rights of a religious denomination to manage its own affairs in the matter of religion. Jawed's plea alleged the Act imposed arbitrary restrictions on Waqf properties and their management, undermining the Muslim community's religious autonomy. The petition, filed through advocate Anas Tanwir, said the law discriminated against the Muslim community by imposing restrictions that are not present in the governance of other religious endowments. In a separate plea, Owaisi said it took away from Waqfs various protection which are accorded to Waqfs, and Hindus, Jain and Sikh religious and charitable endowments alike. This diminishing of the protection given to Waqfs while retaining them for religious and charitable endowments of other religions constitutes hostile discrimination against Muslims and is violative of Articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution, which prohibit discrimination on the grounds of religion, said Owaisi's plea, filed through advocate Lzafeer Ahmad. NGO Association for the Protection of Civil Rights also filed a petition in the apex court challenging the constitutional validity of the Act. AAP MLA Khan sought the law declared as unconstitutional, being violative of Articles 14, 15, 21, 25, 26, 29, 30 and 300-A of the Constitution. The Supreme Court is also scheduled to hear on April 16, a batch of pleas relating to religious conversions. While some pleas have challenged the anti-conversion laws in several states, another petition has sought a relief against forced religious conversions. The April 16 causelist on the apex court website shows the matter would come up before a bench of Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justices Sanjay Kumar and K V Viswanathan. During the hearing in one of the pleas in January 2023, the apex court observed religious conversions was a serious issue and should not be given a political colour. It had sought the assistance of attorney general R Venkataramani on a plea seeking direction to the Centre and states to take stringent steps to control the alleged fraudulent religious conversions. The plea sought a check on religious conversions through intimidation, threatening, deceivingly luring through gifts and monetary benefits. The top court had in 2023 asked the parties challenging the anti-conversion laws of several states to file a common petition for the transfer of cases on the issue from the high courts to the apex court. It noted there were at least five such pleas efore the Allahabad High Court; seven before the Madhya Pradesh High Court; two each before the Gujarat and Jharkhand High Courts; three before the Himachal Pradesh and one each before Karnataka and Uttarakhand High Courts. There were also two separate petitions filed by the states of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh challenging the interim orders of the respective high courts staying certain provisions of their laws on conversion. Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind also moved the apex court against the anti-conversion laws of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, and argued they were enacted to harass interfaith couples and implicate them in criminal cases. The Muslim body said the provisions of all the local laws of the five states force a person to disclose their faith and, consequently, invade their privacy.

From water crisis to party legacy: Former Rajasthan CM Raje's statements reignite speculations

JAIPUR: Strong remarks by former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje over the deepening drinking water crisis in parts of Rajasthan has pushed the central government to step in and seek an urgent report from the state government. Union Jal Shakti Minister C R Patil, in a social media post, stated, Vasundhara Rajes concern regarding the water crisis in Jhalawar has been taken seriously. A factual report has been sought from the Rajasthan government. Raje had earlier lashed out at government officials over the worsening water situation in several areas of Jhalawar district. During her visit to Raipur town, she reprimanded officers over the lack of action and strongly voiced the publics distress. Posting on Instagram, Raje wrote, Do only the officers feel thirsty? Does the public not feel the same? While the people suffer in this scorching summer due to lack of water, the officers appear indifferent. Water should reach the lips of the people, not remain confined to paper. The officers are asleep while the public cries. I will not let this continue. She also questioned the implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission, under which the Prime Minister allocated Rs 42,000 crore for drinking water supply. Give an account of every rupee. What happened to Jhalawars share of the funds? The government is releasing money, but the officers are failing to implement the schemes properly. This is why the people of Rajasthan remain thirsty. If this is the situation in April, what will happen in June and July? she warned. Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie also weighed in on the issue, commenting on social media, If the former Chief Minister herself feels helpless, imagine the plight of the common man. Legacy, Loyalty, and Emotion: Rajes Tribute to Rajmata Scindia In another event that drew attention, Raje unveiled a statue of her mother, Rajmata Vijaya Raje Scindia, in Jhalawar on Wednesday. During her emotional speech, she underscored her familys contributions to the Bharatiya Janata Party and remembered her mothers humility and service-driven politics. Raje recounted, After Atal Ji and Advani Ji became BJP presidents, both wanted Rajmata to take over as the national president. But she refused. In 1967, when she formed the first Jan Sangh government in Madhya Pradesh, there was demand to make her Chief Minister. She chose Govind Narayan Singh instead. Raje quoted her mother's word, I do not become the Chief Minister. I make them. Visibly emotional, Raje recalled a poignant moment before her mothers death: When BJP and its allies secured an absolute majority and it was decided that Atal Ji would become Prime Minister, Rajmata was unconscious due to illness. When Atal Ji and Advani Ji visited her in the hospital, she briefly regained consciousness and said, I was alive only for today. My last wish has been fulfilled. A few days later, she passed away. She added, Rajmata taught us that doing good work invites opposition, but one must stay committed and fearless. Political Circles Abuzz with Speculation Rajes recent statements have reignited political speculation, especially since her marginalisation within the party post-2023 Assembly elections. Bhajanlal Sharma, a first-time MLA, was chosen as Chief Minister over her, and during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, her role was limited to campaigning in her son Dushyant Singhs constituency. Political observers note that Raje was hopeful of her sons inclusion in the Union Cabineta development that did not materialise. Despite this, she maintained a low profile in recent months. Those close to Raje suggest that silence has never been her political style. Hence, any statement or appearance by her is seen as significant. Whether this resurgence in public and political discourse marks a more assertive phase for the veteran leader remains to be seen.

Craving for chicken landed fake cardiologist N John Camm in MP police's custody

BHOPAL : Craving for mouth-watering chicken delicacies landed fake cardiologist N John Camm aka Narendra Yadav in Madhya Pradesh police's custody, it has emerged. Tracking his cell-phone location, cops from Damoh district reached Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh on Monday, when they found Yadav's phone was switched off. Unable to track his location subsequently, the Damoh district police team contacted their cyber cell team back in MP, who while tracking Yadav's call details, zeroed in on one phone number to which multiple calls had been made by the fake cardiologist on Monday. The cops on the ground in Prayagraj found that the concerned phone number pertained to a popular non-vegetarian restaurant. Reaching there, the restaurant staff admitted that the caller (Yadav) had been calling them repeatedly seeking delivery of multiple chicken delicacies at his home, which they refused to make due to staff and distance constraints. Based on the address given by the restaurant staff, the police located Yadav's rented flat in a premier township and nabbed him from there on Monday afternoon. Yadavs ongoing questioning and revelations Currently in police remand in MP's Damoh district, Yadav (being probed over allegations of the deaths of seven patients after minimally invasive surgical procedures) has revealed that he changed his name from Narendra Yadav to N John Camm, owing to a five-year-old ban imposed on him by authorities in India during 2015. He was banned from any kind of medical practice by authorities in 2015, following a case against him in Noida (UP) for forging documents related to medical qualifications and experience. Owing to it only, he changed his name from Narendra Yadav to N John Camm (which resembled the name of famous British clinical cardiologist John Camm) and started working again, a senior Damoh police official told The New Indian Express . Yadav's grilling has also revealed that he doesn't hail from Dehradun (Uttarakhand), but is instead a native of Kanpur (UP) and lived in a rented flat in Prayagraj district. He completed his MBBS from North Bengal Medical College in Siliguri in 1996, but couldn't crack the MD exam, despite repeated attempts. Later, he did his MRCP and other courses from the UK and worked there for some years. He has also worked in Germany and the US and keeps on visiting Nuremberg. Further, he has also worked in hospitals in other parts of India, including Hyderabad, Delhi and Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh) and worked in the Mission Hospital in Damoh between December 2024 and February 2025 on the basis of the fake MD and DM (Cardiology) degrees for which he was booked by the Damoh Kotwali police on Sunday midnight. As far as the seven deaths, which allegedly happened after angiography and angioplasty procedures at the Mission Hospital in Damoh (MP), at least three deaths are directly related to minimally invasive surgical procedures performed by Yadav. A team of cardiologists at the Jabalpur Medical College are in the final stages of their probe into the deaths, sources said. According to the Damoh district police superintendent Shrutkirti Somvanshi, It's still early days into Yadav's grilling and more disclosures are likely in the coming days. We'll request the central government's help in verifying the disclosures of Yadav's visits and working experience of UK, US and Germany, particularly as he has travelled multiple times to Nuremberg in Germany.

Chhattisgarh police bust illegal online inter-state cricket betting racket, 10 arrested in Delhi

RAIPUR: The Baloda bazar district police of Chhattisgarh, pursuing a vital clue, busted an interstate gang operating illegal online cricket betting worth multiple crores and arrested 10 people, including their major bookies from rented houses in Delhi. All 10 accused were part of an online IPL cricket betting syndicate. Those arrested are from Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh even and the hunt is on to nab their other accomplices. The arrested accused were also found to be using a CBTF panel that offers cricket betting tips. We got an initial vital clue from two arrested persons engaged in online cricket betting fraud in the Bhatapara city of Baloda Bazar. We carried out extensive work on the acquired information and later sent a police team to Delhi,said Vijay Agrawal, Baloda Bazar district police chief. Ten bookies were arrested from two different locations in the national capital. Eight laptops, 52 mobile handsets, cash, bank chequebooks, digital devices and other paraphernalia used in the gambling operation were recovered from their place of operation, he added. The police suspect the modules have possible links with other betting apps. With the help of bookies using online links, many punters engaged with online cricket betting were provided with login IDs and passwords. The accused were nabbed after the raid in Delhi and since the incriminating records and related evidence were earlier tracked down in Baloda bazar, the district police had arrested them, and further investigation will be carried out here, the SP added. The initial probe by the police has begun under Chhattisgarh Gambling Prohibition Act 2022 and 66 IT Act. There were several transactions with around Rs 8-10 lakh daily traced in their records recovered from the seized laptops, said Agrawal who is running an awareness campaign to bridge the cyber literacy gap and enable citizens to make informed choices. One of the reasons behind the crackdown on this online cricket betting racket is the Baloda Bazar cyber police personnel being familiarised with technological expertise required to intercept such crimes.

Wife abandons man over water crisis in MP village; pipeline work starts after his complaint

BHOPAL: A village in eastern Madhya Pradesh's Dindori district is hoping for an end to its water woes, courtesy of a woman who refused to put up with the water scarcity and left her husband in protest. The man, Jitendra Soni of Devra village, took his water-induced marital grievance to the district administration during the weekly 'Jansunwai' (a public outreach programme) on Tuesday. Acting on Soni's complaint, the Dindori collector directed officials from the Public Health Engineering (PHE) department to resolve the water shortage in Devra, located just 3 km from the district headquarters. The tribal-dominated Dindori district, bordering Chhattisgarh, is located about 460 km from the MP capital Bhopal. Soni told PTI , My wife has abandoned me due to the water crisis in my village. She went to her parents' house along with our children. I shared my plight with the district collector. The PHE department has been directed to take steps to arrange water in the village. Soni said he tried to persuade his wife Laxmi to stay back, but she didn't listen. I told her that our children's studies would get affected, but she said there is no future in the village due to the water crisis, he said. Soni claimed that several other women from his village are ready to leave due to water scarcity. There are several families that are not speaking up out of fear of infamy and have moved out of the village silently. But I am an unemployed labourer and there is no scope of arranging water on my own, he claimed. Soni said their village has a handpump and 2,000-2,500 residents are dependent on it. There is a huge crowd at the handpump from morning till night. People hardly get any water from there, he said. PHE official Afzal Amanullah told PTI that they have started work to resolve the issue. The village has a borewell that was dug under the 'Nal, Jal' scheme, but the water level has dropped, and people are not getting adequate water in Devra village. The villagers have demanded that they be provided water connections from the overhead tank in a neighbouring village, he said. Amanullah said that the work of connecting the old pipeline in Devra with the overhead tank is being carried out on Wednesday. We are going to start the water supply through the overhead tank, he said. He said the work to provide tap water to Devra, Hans Nagar and Saket Nagar was earlier sanctioned under the 'Jal Jeevan' Mission. Accordingly, the overhead tank was constructed in Hans Nagar. After connecting the existing pipeline network in Devra to the overhead tank, Soni and other villagers will have better access to water, he said. The PHE is trying to connect all the areas of the village through water supply lines, Amanullah added.

Indian monsoon will be normal in 2025, says private weather agency Skymet

NEW DELHI: India's private weather forecasting agency Skymet has predicted a normal monsoon for 2025, estimating seasonal rainfall at 103 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA) of 868.6 mm for the JuneSeptember period. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has not yet released its forecast for this years monsoon. With an error margin of 5 per cent, Skymet anticipates a normal monsoon within the standard range of 96 per cent to 104 per cent of the LPA. According to the agency, only 20 per cent of the country is expected to receive below-normal rainfall, while the remaining 80 per cent will likely experience normal to above-normal precipitation. Skymets forecast indicates favourable rainfall over Western and Southern India, particularly excess showers along the Western Ghats, including Kerala, Coastal Karnataka and Goa. Adequate rainfall is also expected in the core monsoon zone comprising Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. However, the northeastern region and the hilly states of Northern India are likely to witness below-normal rainfall. A weaker La Niacharacterised by cooling of the tropical Pacific Ocean, which typically supports good monsoon conditions and a neutral El Nio phase are expected to prevent any significant weakening of the monsoon. The remnants of La Nia and ENSO-neutral together will shield the monsoon from any egregious outcome, said Jatin Singh, Managing Director, Skymet. Preliminary forecast of positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) will work in tandem with ENSO for better monsoon prospects. Historically, ENSO-neutral coupled with positive IOD tended to produce a worthy monsoon. The second half of the season is expected to be better than the primal phase, he further explained. As per Skymets monthly forecast, rainfall is likely to be 96 per cent of the LPA in June, 102 per cent in July, 108 per cent in August, and 104 per cent in September.

New law to ensure use of Waqf land for people's welfare: Jyotiraditya Scindia

GWALIOR : Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has said the new Waqf law will prevent the misuse of properties and ensure the Waqf land is used for the development of people. The Waqf (Amendment) Bill was passed by the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha last week after marathon debates in both Houses of Parliament. President Droupadi Murmu gave her assent to the bill on Saturday. The Act aims to streamline the management of Waqf properties (assets permanently donated by Muslims for religious or charitable purposes) with provisions to safeguard heritage sites and promote social welfare. It also seeks to improve governance by enhancing transparency in property management, streamlining coordination between Waqf boards and local authorities and protecting stakeholders' rights. The opposition's thinking and ideology is to run the affairs of the Waqf (Board) with monopoly and misuse things (properties). But Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP and government have exposed them, Scindia told reporters on Tuesday after arriving here on the way to his Lok Sabha constituency Guna. Politics of appeasement: PM Modi slams Opposition over Waqf Amendment Bill protests Now, Waqf land will be used for the development of people, and this is the ideology of the entire society, including the Muslim community, he said. The Waqf bill has also ended the monopoly of those having vested interests and who don't want to use properties even for the welfare of the Muslim community, Scindia said. Now, it will be used for the development of the community with full freedom and for people's welfare, he said. Asked about the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting and the All India Congress Committee (AICC) session underway in Gujarat, Scindia said, The Congress will only talk about its session, but poll strategy and atmosphere is created by the people. Our prime minister and chief minister create this atmosphere on the basis of their work. However, in a democracy, every party has the right to hold its sessions, he said. Earlier, Scindia took part in the inauguration of a railway overbridge and two hostels in Gwalior city via video link along with Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and state assembly speaker Narendra Singh Tomar. With the approval of the Western Bypass in the city with an estimated cost of Rs 1,300 crore, the development of Gwalior will get a further boost, he said.
