Mumbai: NCW chief Vijaya Rahatkar holds POSH workshop, reviews security with top cop

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 5 (IANS) National Commission for Women Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar on Monday began a visit to Maharashtra, looking forward to interacting with working women and discussing issues related to empowerment and security. Her single-day visit kicked off with an awareness programme with employees of a private bank on the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH Act), according to a statement. She later visited the Tata Institute of Social Sciences and led consultations on state-specific laws with Maharashtra State Women Commission officials. Discussions with the Mumbai Police Commissioner on women's safety were also scheduled at the Commissionerate Office, the statement said. On Sunday, Rahatkar attended and gave away prizes at the state-level inter-collegiate debate competition organised by Manikchand Pahade Law College of the Marathwada Legal and General Education Society in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, said a statement. The topic of the competition was: Gen Z's Path is Conducive to Transformation. On this occasion, she interacted with the students, participants, and faculty members of the college. While sharing her thoughts on the competitions topic, the NCW Chairperson said, India is passing through a phase of transformation today, and in this journey, the youth class is not merely a spectator. The youth are India's largest stakeholders, India's greatest strength, and the most important force that will bring the dream of a developed India into reality. Therefore, let there be confidence in your minds, but along with that, let there also be humility. Acquire knowledge, but along with that, nurture curiosity as well. Have the courage to firmly express your opinions; but also maintain the patience to listen to others' opinions, she said. And most importantly, know your rights, be aware of your duties, and have faith in our Constitution. Because India's future is not shaped only in Parliament; India's future is also shaped in the classrooms of universities and colleges. These students of today will be the lawyers, judges, researchers, administrators, policymakers, and citizens who will lead society tomorrow, said Rahatkar. In a message on X, she said, The students ideas, values and faith in the Constitution will therefore play a crucial role in shaping the journey towards a Viksit Bharat.

Always defame Hindus: BJP hits out at Congress on distorting Sanatan Dharma

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 5 (IANS) BJP MLA Ram Kadam on Monday hit out at senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, accusing him of repeatedly attempting to defame Hinduism and questioning Singh's remarks on Sanatan Dharma. Kadam's remarks came after Singh accused the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) of distorting Sanatan Dharma and dividing the country along religious lines through the promotion of Hindutva. Singh's comments drew a sharp reaction from the BJP. The discourse in this country has shifted to constantly harping on Hinduism, driven by the RSS and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad promoting 'Hindutva', a term coined by Savarkar. Because of this, rifts have been created across the country between Hindus and Muslims, between Hindus and Sikhs, and between Hindus and Christians. India belongs to everyone. Unity in diversity is our strength, Singh said in a video posted on X. The 79-year-old Congress leader is set to undertake a 'Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra', a foot march from Ujjain to Ayodhya to protest what he described as the alleged exploitation of religion. He also claimed that the word Hindu does not appear in religious scriptures. Today, no one speaks of the Hindu religion; people speak of Sanatan Dharma. The word Hindu does not appear anywhere in our scriptures, be it the Vedas, Upanishads or Puranas. This is the Sanatan Dharma that the VHP and the RSS are distorting, Singh had said. Reacting to the remarks, Kadam told IANS, This is the same Digvijaya Singh who has always tried to defame Hindus. He linked our sacred saffron colour with terrorism. Kadam also turned to the construction and consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. When Ram Lalla's consecration ceremony was held in Ayodhya, and the idol was installed, he raised questions about the appearance of the idol. Congress leaders had such cruel and anti-Hindu views that the Ram Temple should not be built in Ayodhya, that the verdict should not come in favour of Hindus, and if it did, it should come late, he alleged. They still hold such views, and that is why they appointed their lawyers in the country's highest judiciary, Kadam added. The BJP MLA then reacted to the joint protest march led by Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray towards the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters on Sunday. The protest targeted Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Kadam questioned the nature of the protest and said, Was the Thackeray brothers' protest a protest or a fancy dress competition? Someone came dressed as Gabbar Singh, someone as the Election Commissioner, and many other impersonators. Perhaps it was a competition to see who could tell the most lies on stage. The leaders were telling lies one after another. A year ago, to be precise, 11 months ago, in November 2025, these same people took to the streets and protested, demanding the removal of names that appeared twice or thrice on the voter list and the names of fake voters, he said. Whose demand was this? It was the demand of those who launched the protest, and the Election Commission is currently carrying out the same work. Have they forgotten their own demands? Kadam asked. He also criticised the opposition leaders over their objections to electronic voting machines (EVMs). The EVMs they were talking about were introduced during the Congress regime. Even Congress members were speaking out against them, which is amazing. Uddhav Thackeray has been winning municipal elections for the past 30 years using these same EVMs, Kadam told IANS. Turning to the ongoing protest by Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) aspirants in Pune, Kadam said the state government stood with the students and had accepted their demands. We stand with the MPSC students, and the Maharashtra government has accepted their demands, including 100 per cent support from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, he said. However, Kadam alleged that leaders associated with the Sharad Pawar faction were attempting to use the students' agitation for political purposes. Now, if leaders of the Sharad Pawar faction are deliberately trying to promote petty politics by infiltrating their workers under the guise of these students, it is unfortunate, he said. The Maharashtra government does not have the authority to fulfil the demands the students are protesting for. How can it assume the authority that rests with the President? This movement is not of the students; it is of the Sharad Pawar faction, Kadam alleged. Meanwhile, Monday marked the fifth day of the MPSC students' protest in Pune. The agitation has seen three groups emerge amid differences over the various demands raised by the aspirants.

Jaipur: CBI court gives 7 years jail to ex-bank manager for Rs 3.61 crore fraud

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 5 (IANS) A Special CBI Court in Jaipur sentenced a former manager of Bank of Maharashtra to Rigorous Imprisonment (RI) for seven years, alongwith a fine of Rs 2.85 lakh, in a Rs 3.61 crore loan fraud in 2015, an official said on Monday. Ram Bharos Meena, the then Branch Manager, Bank of Maharashtra, Gopalpura Bypass Branch, was punished for fraud and forgery by the Special Court on September 30, the CBI official said in a statement. Co-convict Makhan Lal Meena, a private person, was sentenced to Rigorous Imprisonment (RI) for three years, along with a fine of Rs 25,000, the statement said. The CBI registered the case on November 9, 2016, based on the written complaint dated June 3, 2016, lodged by the Bank of Maharashtra, Zonal Office, Jaipur, The zonal office alleged that Ram Bharos Meena, the then Branch Manager, illegally sanctioned loans in 17 accounts between January 15, 2015 and May 6, 2015 without valid loan applications, documents or security. The actions of the then branch manager amounted to abusing official position and resorting to fraud and forgery, causing wrongful loss of Rs 3.61 crore to the bank, the zonal office said in the complaint. After investigation, the CBI filed a charge sheet on July 9, 2020 against the two accused, and charges against them were framed by the Special CBI court on December 1, 2021. The Special Court, after the trial, convicted and sentenced the two accused; accordingly, on September 30, the CBI said in the statement. In a similar case last month, a Special CBI Court in Jaipur sentenced three bank employees to seven years of Rigorous Imprisonment (RI) in a fraud case involving the unauthorised release of mortgaged securities and a loss of over Rs 12 lakh to Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC). The court, on September 18, convicted Ramji Lal Meena, the then Branch Manager; Murari Lal Meena, the then Special Assistant; and Than Singh Lashkar, the then Peon-cum-Housekeeper of Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC), Sheosinghpura, Lalsot, Dausa. The court sentenced all three to seven years of RI and imposed a fine of Rs 85,000 on each. The CBI had registered the case on February 1, 2019, based on a complaint lodged by the then Deputy General Manager of Oriental Bank of Commerce.

Nature has taken away our dreams: Maharashtra farmers as drought hits crops

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 5 (IANS) As severe drought conditions continue to affect agricultural land across several districts of Maharashtra, farmers of Yevta village in Beed district expressed distress, saying nature has taken away their dreams. Amid the worsening situation, the Maharashtra government has declared 265 tehsils drought-affected, including all seven tehsils of Akola district. A prolonged gap in rainfall has severely affected soybean crops, leaving farmers facing the prospect of heavy losses. The Revenue Department is conducting crop damage assessments and inspecting fields to evaluate the impact of the drought on agricultural production. In Yevta village, farmer Sheikh Rashid's four-acre soybean crop is drying up due to a shortage of water and is on the verge of being completely destroyed. He showed IANS his field and the drought-affected crops, highlighting the extent of damage caused by the prolonged lack of rainfall. Speaking to IANS, Rashid said, The situation is quite serious. All the farmers had hoped for a good harvest, but nature took away our dreams. Ministers visited our fields. We have suffered significant losses due to the lack of water. They understood our problems and also took steps to address them. The farmer said the prolonged water shortage had severely affected the crop, leaving farmers worried about their livelihoods and the losses they may have to bear following the failure of the expected harvest. The drought situation has emerged after a long break in rainfall, affecting agricultural activities in several parts of Maharashtra. Soybean, one of the key crops cultivated by farmers in the affected areas, has been particularly impacted by the shortage of water. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has officially announced the withdrawal of the monsoon from most parts of Maharashtra, raising further concerns among farmers who were hoping for additional rainfall to revive their crops. Meanwhile, the Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray on Monday launched a sharp critique of the state government, warning that Maharashtra is staring at an unprecedented nine-to-10-month-long severe drought. The Thackeray camp, in an editorial published in the party mouthpiece 'Saamana', said the departure of the monsoon without yielding return showers had shattered the final hopes of farmers across the state, leaving more than half of Maharashtra severely scorched. According to the editorial, more than 20 of Maharashtra's 36 districts recorded an unprecedented rainfall deficit this season. The editorial said the prolonged dry spell destroyed crops across Marathwada, Vidarbha and Central Maharashtra, further deepening concerns over the state's agricultural situation. The developments have added to the pressure on the state government to assess crop losses and provide necessary assistance to farmers affected by the drought and water shortage.
