DC Edit | Does I.N.D.I.A. bloc have a narrative for voters?
The I.N.D.I.A. bloc has gained some traction with its back-to-back rallies the Jan Vishwas rally in Patna earlier this month and one in Mumbai on Sunday to mark the finale of the Bharat Nyay Jodo Yatra of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi but it remains a question whether it is sufficient to sustain the Opposition campaign against a formidable electoral opponent till the end of an epic battle. The voting for the 18th Lok Sabha will start on April 19, leaving exactly one month for the parties and their formations to convince the voters why they should vote for them. A minimum of cohesive and comprehensive action plan and a modicum of unity of purpose are the essential ingredients for them to approach the people. After losing precious time fighting the Assembly elections in the Hindi heartland, the Congress, by far the leading contingent in the Opposition bandwagon, got back on the track in December. By then, two of the leading partners, Nitish Kumar of the JD(U) and Mamata Banerjee of the Trinamul Congress, chief ministers of two states that together send 82 members to the Lok Sabha, had started showing signs of disenchantment with the INDIA bloc. Mr Kumar has left the grouping while Ms Banerjee has for all practical purposes ended the bonhomie with the alliance partners. The late realisation about the losing ground and diminishing time gap had the Congress swing into action and seat sharing talks gained momentum in January. Despite Mr Gandhis Yatra, the party stitched together alliances with major partners Samajwadi Party, the DMK, the Shiv Sena, the NCP and the AAP. The alliance is still way off the mark with its professed aim to field a single candidate against the National Democratic Alliance led by the BJP, prompting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to remind the people about the disarray in the Opposition camp. While the Congress and the Left will fight each other in Kerala, the AAP will take on the Congress in Punjab, he pointed out. Some kind of a friendly match is inevitable in such a grand exercise but what the INDIA bloc appears to be lacking seriously is a narrative to present before the people. The NDA has it all ready the central welfare schemes for the large mass of people, Indias rise as the fifth largest economy, the consecration of the Ram temple, the CAA and the uniform civil code the NDA platter is full, whatever its worth. And then it has Mr Modi, one of the pre-eminent communicators of our times, at the lead. The Opposition has been talking of the injuries the BJP alliance has dealt to the Constitution and the values it espouses: federalism, secularism and the institutions of democracy. Every opposition leader in the country talks elaborately on how the BJP uses central agencies to hunt down their folks. The latest information on electoral bonds has triggered the criticism that the ruling party had been using it as a tool for extortion. It is for the Opposition to decide if they want to pick the threads and weave them into a design that the people can read and appreciate. There is very little time left for the exercise.
HC seeks response of Centre, Haryana govt on plea challenging CM Saini's appointment
HC seeks response of Centre, Haryana govt on plea challenging CM Saini's appointment The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday issued notices to the Centre, Haryana government and Election Commission on a plea challenging the appointment of Nayab Singh Saini as the chief minister. A division bench of Acting Chief Justice G S Sandhawalia and Justice Lapita Banerji sought their response in the matter and fixed April 30 as the next date of hearing in the case. Advocate Jagmohan Singh Bhatti, who has filed the PIL, has alleged that the newly formed government in Haryana led by Saini is ''illegal and a fraud on democracy''. Speaking to reporters here, Bhatti said he has submitted that Saini's appointment as Haryana chief minister is ''illegal'' on various grounds. The lawyer said he has submitted that the total number of Haryana assembly members is 90. ''By appointing Nayab Singh Saini as chief minister of the state, the number of members in the House has been increased beyond 90 members, which is not in accordance with the constitutional provisions,'' he told reporters. Bhatti said he has also submitted that as the chief minister's appointment is ''illegal'', the appointment of five new cabinet ministers who took oath with Saini -- Mool Chand Sharma, J P Dalal, Kanwar Pal Gurjar, Banwari Lal and Ranjit Singh Chautala -- is also ''illegal''. Giving other grounds, he said that there is reasonable assumption that Saini was holding office of profit at the time of taking oath as the chief minister being a sitting MP from Kurukshetra Lok Sabha seat. He said Saini, under these circumstances, could not have taken oath as chief minister ''as there is a constitutional bar''. Bhatti has argued that this is contrary with the Constitutional provisions and the Representation of the People Act, 1951. On his plea, the high court has issued notices to the Centre, Haryana government, Election Commission and the Haryana Assembly Speaker, he said. Saini took oath as the new chief minister last week. The BJP named Saini as Haryana's new chief minister on March 12, hours after the surprise resignation of Manohar Lal Khattar from the post along with his cabinet ministers.

CPI hopes to get at least 15 seats in 8 states as part of INDIA
NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India (CPI) has identified at least 15 constituencies in eight states including Bihar, Assam, Manipur and Jharkhand, where it wants to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections under electoral pact of opposition parties as part of Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA). The general secretary of the CPI, D Raja said that the party might soon announce its nomination for the identified seats subject to its negotiation with INDIA bloc members mainly with the Congress. The Left party has zeroed in one seat each in Manipur, Telangana, Maharashtra, Punjab, Assam and Jharkhand under the electoral alliance from the Congress. The CPI has already announced its candidate for one of the two seats in Manipur. It has fielded partys senior member and state unit general secretary of the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) Laishram Sotinkumar Singh in the Inner Manipur constituency. Miffed over Wayanad, CPI says Congress must keep coalition dharma In Telangana, it is seeking Warangal Lok Sabha seat. In Maharashtra, it is expecting Shirdi constituency, Bathinda in Punjab and Jharkhands Hazaribagh. Notably, its state leadership in Jharkhand last week announced to go alone and to contest in eight seats in the state. We have decided to contest the Lok Sabha polls on our own, CPI state secretary Mahendra Pathak told PTI. In west Bengal, the CPI is staking claim to three seats including Ghatal and Medinipur from which it has been winning in the past. Raja further stated that talks are underway for three constituencies in Bihar too. The probable seats are Banka, Begusarai and Madhubani. Raja said that our state leaders are holding talks with their counterparts of political parties including Congress, which are part of the alliance and he is optimistic about a positive outcome. He added that hopefully the Congress would demonstrate maturity like what Tamil Nadu chief minister and DMK president MK Stalin showed in the state while sparing seats for coalition partners. Discussions pertaining to the identified seats are being held at state level. In case, something is to be conveyed to the national leadership or my intervention is required, I will talk. Seat sharing in Tamil Nadu has already been finalised and the CPI will be contesting on two seats in the state. Stalins seat-sharing arrangement illustrates maturity and understanding of prevailing political situations. The Congress should also be accommodative to each member of the alliance because the target is to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said Raja. As part of the Left Democratic Front (LDF), the CPI got four seats to contest in KeralaWayanad, Thiruvananthapuram, Thrissur and Mavelikkara.

IL&FS moves NCLAT, seeks protection for group Cos from wilful defaulter tag
IL&FS moves NCLAT, seeks protection for group Cos from wilful defaulter tag The newly appointed board of debt-ridden IL&FS has moved an urgent application before the appellate tribunal NCLAT to restrain 11 public sector lenders from initiating proceedings to declare its group companies as ''wilful defaulters''. In its petition, IL&FS said it is aggrieved by the ''blatant violation and disregard'' of previous NCLAT orders by the banks. IL&FS also charged banks of taking procedural action under the garb of the RBI guidelines, and harassing the Directors of the IL&FS companies''. The banks are ''issuing show cause notices, calling for a personal hearing before the Wilful Defaulter Identification Committee, threatening initiation of criminal proceedings, including initiating proceedings as well as and for declaring IL&FS companies and their current Directors as Wilful Defaulters, as well as getting issued Look Out Circulars,'' it submitted. ''All such coercive actions/steps are attempts by the Respondent Banks to pressurize the IL&FS companies to directly or indirectly meet their debt demands, without having regard to the fact that the resolution/satisfaction of debts of all the creditors of the IL&FS companies is subjudice before this Tribunal,'' it submitted. IL&FS has prayed to restrain the banks from pursuing proceedings against ''other IL&FS companies and/or their Directors and/or officers appointed after October 2018 by the IL&FS New Board.'' Moreover, it has also made the banking sector regulator RBI a party, and requested NCLAT to ''pass an order directing Respondent No. 12 (RBI) to direct Respondent No. 1 to 11 (banks) restraining them from taking any coercive action against the Applicants and other IL&FS companies.'' It has also requested the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) to direct banks ''not take any coercive action against the applicant and other IL&FS companies and/or their Directors and/or officers'' during the pendency of the hearing and final disposal of this present application, before it. The banks are - Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Indian Bank, Canara Bank, Punjab National Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, State Bank of India, Bank of India, Jammu & Kashmir Bank, IDBI Bank and Union Bank of India. According to IL&FS, the banks are participating in the IL&FS Resolution Process to get their debts addressed and these parallel coercive steps are not only ''squarely in the teeth'' of the orders passed by NCLAT, but are the likely result of either a selective reading of such orders, or an ''uncoordinated mechanical attempt'' at purportedly complying with applicable guidelines issued by RBI. The petition further said this is happening despite, the New Board of IL&FS has already referred the acts and actions of the erstwhile management of IL&FS companies for investigation. These ''have already been investigated as well as continue to be investigated by various Agencies (such as SFIO, ED and CBI), including inspection by Respondent No 12 (RBI) itself of a few IL&FS companies since October 2018,'' it said. On October 1, 2018, NCLAT superseded the existing board of IL&FS on the recommendation of the centre after the mega-crisis in IL&FS, which shook the finance industry. A new board for IL&FS, which had a debt burden of Rs 94,000 crore, was appointed to take charge of the affairs and NCLAT conceived a framework for resolution of the crisis-hit group. It had also granted protection to the IL&FS Companies against recovery of any further dues and immunity to the newly appointed Directors of IL&FS against any proceedings for the past actions of suspended Directors or any of the officers thereof. ''The protection granted under the aforementioned orders is premised on the fact that the newly appointed Directors have been appointed m larger public interest to regulate the affairs of the IL&FS companies and to save the said companies from financial collapse,'' it said. However Banks have been violating these protective orders passed by NCLAT, IL&FS said while submitting a list of such violations. As per the roadmap for IL&FS, its group companies have been categorised into three categories -- green, amber and red -- based on their respective financial positions. Companies under the green category are those that continue to meet their payment obligations. IL&FS has a total of 302 entities of which 169 are domestic and the rest 133 are offshore.

Taliban Strikes Back After Pakistan's Border Attacks, Resulting in Deadly Exchange
In a recent escalation of tensions, the Taliban in Afghanistan has reported that Pakistani jets conducted two airstrikes within Afghan borders, resulting in the tragic deaths of at least eight individuals, including five women and three children. The incidents occurred in the eastern border regions of Khost and Paktika. Responding to these attacks, the Taliban launched heavy weapons towards the Pakistani military. According to the Taliban's defense ministry, the strikes targeted Pakistani troops along the border in retaliation for the airstrikes. Witnesses recounted that three mortar shells were fired from Afghanistan's Paktia province towards the Borki border area in Pakistan, with one landing dangerously close to a government school. Zabiullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Taliban administration, emphasized, The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan does not permit anyone to compromise security by using Afghan territory. Meanwhile, Pakistan's military confirmed its operation within its own borders, specifically in the North Waziristan region adjacent to Afghanistan. According to reports, the military stated that eight terrorists were neutralized during the operation. The recent airstrikes follow closely after the loss of seven Pakistani soldiers just two days prior. Both countries have been pointing fingers at each other regarding a series of militant attacks in Pakistan. Pakistani officials attribute these attacks, many of which have been claimed by the Pakistani Taliban (TTP), to insurgents operating from Afghan soil. Pakistan asserts that armed militants are infiltrating from Afghanistan to carry out these assaults. However, the Taliban has refuted these claims, placing the blame on Pakistan for its internal security challenges. Mujahid remarked, Pakistan shouldn't attribute Afghanistan for the lack of control, incompetence, and problems within its own borders. He warned of potential dire consequences resulting from such incidents, emphasizing that they could spiral beyond Pakistan's control.

Maryam visits Kot Lakhpat Jail, reflects on her and father's difficult time in prison
Maryam visits Kot Lakhpat Jail, reflects on her and father's difficult time in prison Nawaz Sharif is a ''kingmaker'' today while his oppressors are ''nowhere'', an emotional Maryam Nawaz, the first woman chief minister of Pakistan's Punjab province, has said, as she visited the Kot Lakhpat Jail here and recalled hardships she and her father endured in prison. Maryam, 50, on Sunday visited the Kot Lakhpat Jail, where she and Nawaz Sharif served prison terms in corruption cases, and broke Ramzan fast with the women prisoners. She sat with the women prisoners and presented samosas, pakoras, fruits and biryani to them. She also got to see the prison cell where her father three-time former prime minister Nawaz Sharif languished in a Panama Papers corruption case before leaving the country for London in 2019 on medical grounds. ''Emotional moment to see the cell of MNS (Mian Nawaz Sharif), where a three-time prime minister was kept. I was in the same jail but I was never allowed to visit him. Got to see it today. He is a kingmaker today while his oppressors are nowhere,'' she said on X. After spending four years in self-exile Sharif, 74, returned in October last year reportedly after striking a deal with a powerful military establishment. He was set to become premier for a record the fourth time in last month's general elections but his party failed to get enough seats in the National Assembly to form a government on its own. Independent candidates backed by jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party won the maximum number of seats. However, his younger brother Shehbaz Sharif, who is considered a favourite of the military establishment, managed to form a coalition federal government with the help of five other parties, including the Pakistan Peoples Party led by ex-foreign minister Bilawal Zardari-Bhutto. Recalling her time in this jail, she said: ''I was imprisoned in the death cell and faced a difficult time. My father was also imprisoned in the same jail but I was denied permission for meeting him. I used to meet my father once a week only.'' She said once she received a handwritten letter from her father which stated that he after being arrested was being taken to the National Accountability Bureau jail. ''Someone in the jail told me that your father is feeling unwell and is being taken to hospital. It was a time of great difficulty. I couldn't talk with my cancer patient mother. I used to talk with my children for 20 minutes only. I was greatly worried about my 15-year-old daughter at that time as she also underwent a difficult time,'' Maryam, considered the political heir of Nawaz Sharif, wrote. During the visit, she announced three months of remission in the punishment of prisoners and released 155 prisoners across the province. She said a video call facility will be provided in all the jails of Punjab very soon. She said that few persons would go to jail due to their faults and others owing to their circumstances. ''Even the innocent have to face punishments due to shortcomings in the justice system. We will definitely bring improvements in the jail system along with the provision of possible ease for the prisoners. We are aware of the difficulties of prisoners and we would bring improvements in their food and other essential needs,'' she said. She directed the jail authorities to adopt a respectable and dignified practice for arranging a meeting of the prisoners with their family members. ''We want to bring reforms in the jails so as to make every prisoner a useful citizen of the society. We would let the prisoners stand on their feet by imparting them with various skills in the jails,'' she said.

AAP-BJP fight over CAA: Much ado about nothing
NEW DELHI: In his 1623 play titled Much Ado About Nothing, legendary playwright William Shakespeare wrote, There is a kind of merry war betwixt Signor Benedick and her. So during the past week, we witnessed a merry war of words between Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi BJP president Virendra Sacheva on the issue of the notification of Citizenship Amendment Act 2019. The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 (CAA) was passed by the Parliament of India on 11 December 2019. It amended the Citizenship Act, 1955 by providing an accelerated pathway to Indian citizenship for persecuted religious minorities from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who arrived in India by 2014. The eligible minorities were stated as Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis or Christians. The notification, ahead of the general elections, has invited some discussions as the act for the first time in Indian legal history overtly uses religion a criterion for citizenship. Expectedly it has sparked protests especially in those parts of the country that border Bangladesh and large tranche of Muslim population had migrated from the neighbouring nation. The fear, from an electoral point of view, was that a large number of the members from the minority community could be disenfranchised and affect the fortunes of the parties both who enjoyed the support of the minority community and those who did not. Delhi per se doesnt have presence in substantial numbers of migrant Muslims on the electoral rolls, nor would the number of non-Muslim migrants swell the electoral rolls substantially. Then why is the chief minister crying hoarse. In a post on the micro-blogging site X, Kejriwal wrote, The audacity of these Pakistanis! First, they illegally infiltrated our country, breaking our laws. They should have been in jail. They have the audacity to protest in our country, causing unrest? After the implementation of CAA, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis will spread all over the country and harass people. BJP is causing trouble to the entire country for its own selfish interest of making them their vote bank. Why CAA has polarised the polity The whole attempt is to create a sentiment of insecurity not just among the 20 percent-odd Muslim voters in the national Capital but also on seats in Gujarat from where the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has put up its candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. In Gujarat, the award of citizenship to Hindu migrants from the neighbouring areas of Sindh in Pakistan is a major issue. Coming back to the national Capital, the head of the Delhi unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Virendra Sachdeva, has retorted, Kejriwal is himself a Andolanjeevi who owes his political career to demonstrations and it is shameful that today he is abusing persecuted Hindus from Pakistan and Afghanistan demonstrating for their rights. By abusing these migrants, the Chief Minister has humiliated all those Punjabis who came over from Pakistan to India during the 1947 partition. In saying this Sachdeva has his own axe to grind. Delhis politics, especially that of the BJP, for long has meandered around the Bania and Punjabi leaders. Till late chief minister Saheb Singh Verma emerged on the horizon, BJP in the national Capital was firmly controlled by the Punjabi triumvirate of Madanlal Khurana, Kidar Nath Sahni and Vijay Kumar Malhotra. Though a fourth quotient too has emerged in the form of Purvanchal leaders, the leadership has more or less remained between the Bania and Punjabi communities. Sachdeva himself is from the Punjabi community and has the onerous responsibility of getting his protg Harsh Malhotra, also a Punjabi, win from the East Delhi Lok Sabha seat. In the allocation of seats in the national Capital, East Delhi since 2019 has become the Punjabi quota seat. Thus the fracas between Kejriwal and Sachdeva, has more to do with the polls than with the fate of the non-Muslim migrants awaiting citizenship - Much Ado About Nothing.

Electoral bonds an experiment, time will tell how beneficial it was: RSS
NEW DELHI: Amid a row over the electoral bonds, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Sunday said the system was introduced as an experiment with checks and balances. We the Sangh perceive the electoral bond as an experiment. It has been introduced with checks and balances it has not come suddenly, said Dattatreya Hosabale after being re-elected as the general secretary of the RSS, considered the ideological mentor of the BJP. His statement came after the electoral bonds were brought to the public domain by the Election Commission following the Supreme Courts directive. Whenever new thing comes, questions arise in the minds of people. Time will tell how beneficial and effective the (electoral bond) system is, Hosabale told reporters at Nagpur on the last day of Sanghs annual Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha. He said that when the electronic voting machines (EVMs) were introduced, such questions were also raised. Replying to a question on the Sanghs outreach to minority communities, Hosabale said, RSS is opposed to the politics of minorityism. For us, everyone is equal and of one nation and one family. Hosabale added, I think the concept of minority in the Indian Constitution ought to be revisited. Sangh holds that irrespective of ones religion, no one should be seen through the prism of majority or minority. In India, Muslims and Christians are considered minorities but the Sangh has been trying to have dialogue with them. Within the Sangh, there are many from the minorities but the Sangh does not popularise it as a showpiece, Hosabale said. BJP got Rs 6,986.5 crore through electoral bonds; Future Gaming top donor for DMK, reveals EC data He said that some separatist terrorists in Punjab were active on the pretext of farmers agitation. On the Manipur issue, he said the Sangh is working to heal the wounds created after violence with people of Kukis and Meiteis. He said the Sangh is engaging its functionaries to promote 100 per cent voting by creating awareness about the right to vote. The Sangh is not an organisation of a society but an organisation of the whole society. There should be no animosity, separation, and disunity or anything contrary to unity in the society, he said. On UCC, he said it has been implemented in Uttarakhand but the Sangh wants it across the country. Asked about the Sanghs stand on the disputes on places of worship at Mathura and Kashi, he said, What was done for the Ram Janmabhoomi movement should not be done for everything. The matter (Mathura and Kashi issues) is in court. If it is resolved by the court, then there is no need for agitation. Always favor transparency - CEC on electoral bonds

PM Calls for a Double Engine Government in AP and Delhi
Chilakaluripet: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for the election of a double-engine NDA government in both Andhra Pradesh and at the Centre, which would ensure the development of AP that was halted for the past five years. The Telugu Desam, Jana Sena and the BJP jointly held Praja Galam, a public meeting of the three-party alliance at Boppudi in Palnadu district on Sunday, the first after the announcement of dates for the general elections. The Prime Minister started his speech in Telugu. He made no mention of the name of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. He urged the people of AP to recognise that the YSRC and the Congress are not different, but two sides of the same coin. Notably, Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan who used to sit beside Modi during meetings was seen seated next to Telugu Desam chief N. Chandrababu Naidu, who occupied the seat adjacent to Modi. For the first time after their April 30, 2014, public meeting at Tirupati, Modi, Naidu and Pawan Kalyan addressed the Praja Galam public meeting of the NDA from the same dais at Boppudi in Chilakaluripet of Palnadu district on Sunday. Without criticising Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Prime Minister targeted the YSRC ministers, saying, In this election, the people of AP have decided to bring back the NDA government in Delhi. They are fed up with the present government here. The ministers of AP are competing with each other in committing corruption. In the last five years, the states progress has been hit. Hence, the people have decided to oust the present government in AP. There was no development here in the last five years. By remaining silent, the Congress was trying to steer away the peoples anger against the present government, to benefit the ruling party. They are together. Their effort is to drive the anger towards the BJP to lessen pressure on the ruling YSRC party, the Prime Minister observed. Modi said the coming five years would be crucial for both the nation and AP. Modi reminded the voters that the festival of democracy started today. The Prime Minister, who faced frequent disturbance in the public address system, said this was nothing but the eagerness and enthusiasm of the people of AP to trounce the ruling party (YSRC). He expressed confidence that the BJP-TD-JS alliance would do very well in AP and urged the people to vote for the NDA so that the double engine government at the Centre and the state would jointly usher in the development of the state. Our alliance is for national integration and regional progress. The NDA is getting stronger. Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan have been working for a long time for your development. A developed AP will add to national development and the NDA double engine would help AP, the Prime Minister said. Criticising the INDIA bloc, Modi said that while the NDA united the political parties, the Congress used and threw them at its convenience. Look at the Congress and the Left in Kerala, the TMC in West Bengal, the AAP in Punjab. They keep fighting between them. Imagine how they will function after the elections. Recalling how the Congress treated Telugu leaders, P.V. Narasimha Rao and N.T. Rama Rao, he said that the NDA always respected the Telugu leaders. We honoured PV with Bharat Ratna and released a stamp on NTR who acted so well as Lord Rama and Lord Krishna on celluloid, Modi added.
