Lucknow Diary: UP to be in focus at RSS coordination meeting
UP to be in focus at RSS meet The UP debacle has triggered a series of meetings and confabulations not only in the BJP but in its parent organisation, the RSS. RSS also seems to be equally worried about the future poll course of the party. The issue is set to figure prominently at the much-awaited RSS coordination meeting in Kerala between July 31 and August 2. The meeting, to be held in Palakkad district, assumes significance amid the buzz of a rift between the BJP and its ideological fountainhead. Sources claim that national BJP chief JP Nadda is likely to attend the meeting. Amid political rumblings, new equations on anvil Amid the political rumbling within the NDA, including the BJP and the allies, the recent meeting of Apna Dal (Kamerawadi) leader Pallavi Patel with UP CM Yogi Adityanath is a talk of the town. Patel defeated Deputy CM Keshav Maurya in his traditional Sirathu seat on a SP ticket in 2022. The meeting is being witnessed as a gesture to send out a message to Keshav Maurya and BJP ally Apna Dal (S) chief Anupriya Patel. Pallavi and Anupriya are sisters, but after father Sone Lal Patels demise, differences among copped up over fathers legacy. BJP MLA gets security, says full faith in Yogi Fateh Bahadur Singh, former minister and son of ex-CM Vir Bahadur Singh, finally issued a statement saying that government was conducting a high-level probe into reports of threat to his life and he was fully satisfied with the Special Task Force handling the case. Seven-time MLA had expressed discontent over alleged insensitive attitude of the Gorakhpur district authorities for not taking the issue seriously. However, issuing a letter on Friday, he said he has a personal rapport with CM Yogi Adityanath who had provided him Y-Plus security cover since last five years. The former minister said he had full faith and confidence in the CM. Namita bajpai Our correspondent in Uttar Pradesh namita.bajpai@ newindianexpress.com

Hindu Seer calls for each Hindu woman to bear four sons to transform 'Bharat' into 'Hindustan'
BHOPAL: In a statement that is likely to stoke a fresh controversy, a Hindu in Seer has made a provocative call urging every Hindu woman to have four sons in order to change the country from Bharat (India) to Hindustan. At the ongoing Srimad Bhagwat Katha event in Ujjain district, Madhya Pradesh, Swami Premanand Maharaj, the Mahamandaleshwar of Panchayati Niranjani Akhara, urged every Hindu woman to give birth to four sons to shift the country from Bharat to Hindustan. Speaking on the fifth day of the event, Swami Premanand Maharaj remarked, Even the Bhagwat Purana speaks of one man having 60,000 sons. Today, many have only one or two sons. To transform Bharat into Hindustan, each family should have at least four sons. Addressing a large audience, including many women, the seer said,Our Uttar Pradesh is gone, 17 districts of that state are no longer of the Hindu religion. Half of Bengal is gone, while there are 5 lakh people in Assam, who dont have passports of Visas. There they (minority community women) are giving birth to 8-10 children, while our (Hindu) mothers and sisters are focused on keeping their figure in shape. They (minority community) were mere 2 crore in India 25 years back, then they became 9 crore and are currently at 38 crore. That day isnt far away when India will turn into Indonesia, the Hindu seer said.

Delhi HC asks police to reply to MP Mahua Moitra's pleatoquashFIR
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the city police to respond to Trinamool Congress (TMC) Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra's plea seeking quashing of an FIR against her over an alleged derogatory social media remark on NCW chief Rekha Sharma. Justice Neena Bansal Krishna issued a notice to the Delhi Police on the petition and asked it to file a status report within four weeks. The high court listed the matter for arguments on the legality and validity of the FIR, as challenged in the petition, on November 6. The police registered an FIR against Moitra this month Under Section 79 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) that deals with a word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman. This was the first FIR registered under the BNS by the Delhi Police's Special Cell since it came into force on July 1. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader had commented on a video posted on X that showed National Commission for Women (NCW) chief Rekha Sharma arriving at the site of a stampede in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras on July 4. Moitra later deleted the post, which referred to a man holding an umbrella and walking behind Sharma. During the hearing, senior advocate Indira Jaising, appearing for Moitra, submitted that they were not provided with a copy of the FIR despite asking for it. She said she came to know about the FIR through media. The counsel for the police then handed over the FIR copy to the petitioner's counsel in the court. Besides the FIR, Moitra has also challenged the letters written by Sharma and NCW joint secretary to the Lok Sabha Speaker and Delhi Police Commissioner, respectively, seeking action against her. The counsel appearing for the police raised objection to the prayer and said it was not maintainable. The FIR stated that the NCW took suo motu (on its own) cognisance of Moitra's alleged derogatory remarks and the FIR was lodged on a complaint by the NCW. The FIR said, The crude remarks made by Moitra are extremely outrageous and a sheer violation of a woman's right to live with dignity . The NCW had earlier alleged Moitra's remark was outrageous and a violation of a woman's right to dignity, observing that it attracted Section 79 of the BNS. An FIR should be registered against Moitra and a detailed action report should be communicated to the commission within three days, it had said in a post on X.
PoP Ganesha idols still rule peoples mindspace
Ganesha idols kept for sale for the upcoming Ganesh Chathurthi Fesitival at RV Road in Bengaluru on Thursday. (DC) Ganesha idols kept for sale for the upcoming Ganesh Chathurthi Fesitival at RV Road in Bengaluru on Thursday. (DC) Hyderabad : Even a year after the Telangana Ganesh Murti Kalakar Welfare Association received strictures from the Telangana High Court on defending the use of the Plaster of Paris (PoP), Dhoolpet is awash with Ganesha idols made of PoP. However, there is a significant increase in the number of clay idols, hinting at the rising awareness among people in the city. With Ganesha Chaturthi 43 days away, the idol making is in full swing, with workers sourced from Chennai, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh are on job. During interactions with Deccan Chronicle, the idol sellers at Miyapur, Kukatpally, Nagole and Chaderghat pointed out that most orders were for PoP idols but there is a significant rise in demand for clay idols compared to the previous year. Most people want PoP idols as they are stronger. Generally, if their chosen idol is less than five feet, we recommend clay idols. However, if the height is more than five feet, the customers insist on POP idols, said an idol maker from Dhoolpet. At Khairatabad Ganesh mandap, workers from various states are working day and night to prepare the 70-foot-tall eco-friendly idol. An official overseeing the work at the famous Khairatabad Ganesh said that work was getting delayed due to the rain and they were compelled to double the work force. Apart from local workers, those from Chennai, Andhra Pradesh, Mumbai are shaping the idol, said Mahesh Yadav, vice-president of Sri Ganesh Utsav committee. The idol for this year will be crafted in the form of 'Saptamukhi Shakti Maha Vinayakudu', which features seven faces, seven snakes, and 14 hands, he added.
Odisha Caps Potato Prices at Rs 32 Amid Price Surge
Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government on Friday asked traders not to sell potatoes at more than Rs 32 per kilogram. The order came as the consumers grappled with the spiraling price of the kitchen essential vegetable. Potatoes at many places across the state sold at Rs 50 a kilogram on Friday, causing a serious discontentment among the consumers. In a bid to have a reality check, state food and supplies and consumer welfare minister Krushna Chandra Patra visited several potato godowns in Bhubaneswar on Friday morning. After taking stock of the situation, Patra said, , I along with my officers visited many godowns in Bhubaneswar. After inquiring, I found that they are buying potatoes at Rs 27 per kg. When asked at what price potato should be sold in the retail market, the godown owners replied that it should not be priced more than Rs 32 per kg. So I request all traders to sell the essential kitchen commodity at Rs 32 per kg or else necessary action will be taken against them, Patra added. The minister warned hoarders and black marketers to refrain from troubling the common people unnecessarily. Terming West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjees decision to stop potato export to other states unfortunate, Patra said we are in talks with the Uttar Pradesh government. If the need arises, we will give the necessary permission to procure tuber from them. An important meeting was convened in the evening to chalk out plans to curb the price rise. The retail price of potatoes has reached Rs 45-50 per kg in Odisha. This is causing huge inconvenience to the common man. We urge the Odisha government to take appropriate steps to bring the price of the essential commodity under control and ensure its adequate supplies to the consumers, said Sonali Sahu, state Congress spokesperson. Reports from northern Odisha district Balasore said many trucks carrying potatoes from West Bengal were pulled back by the Mamata Banerjee government ostensibly to avoid scarcity of the commodity in that state.

The country will have 12 new industrial cities in different states like the ones developed in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh and Dholera in Gujarat to further boost domestic manufacturing, a top government official said.

Over 50 mn cases pending in courts; max 11.8 mn in UP's lower courts
More than five crore cases are pending in various courts across India, with a maximum of over 1.18 core in the subordinate courts of Uttar Pradesh, according to the government's written reply in the Lok Sabha. Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said while 84,045 cases are pending in the Supreme Court, 60,11,678 were pending in the various high courts. District and subordinate courts are the biggest contributors, with 4,53,51,913 cases pending with them, according to the minister. Meghwal said several reasons lead to the pendency of cases, including the availability of physical infrastructure and supporting court staff, the complexity of facts involved, the nature of evidence, and the cooperation of stakeholders, including the bar, investigation agencies, witnesses and litigants. Proper application of rules and procedures also plays a key role, he said. Other factors that lead to delays in the disposal of cases include lack of prescribed time frame by courts for disposal of various kin

Shutting down vaccine PSUs will erode capabilities further, says Congress
The Congress on Friday hit out at the government over the Bharat Immunologicals and Biologicals Corporation Limited (BIBCOL) reportedly facing a grim future, and said shutting down vaccine PSUs will only erode the country's capabilities further. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh shared on X a media report which claimed that the BIBCOL factory in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr, that was at the forefront of India's fight against polio before, hasn't produced a single vaccine since December 2022. Bharat Immunologicals and Biologicals Corporation (BIBCOL) was set up in the late 1980s, at the personal initiative of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, to make India self-sufficient in the production of oral polio vaccines. It was my good fortune to have been associated with its establishment at Bulandshahr in UP as part of the technology mission on immunisation, Ramesh said in a post on X. But BIBCOL now faces a grim future in the era of the non-biological PM, h
Eateries won't be forced to display owner or employee names, anyone voluntarily doing so can: SC
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday in its order reiterated that shops andeateries in the Kanwar Yatra route, would not be forced to display owner or employee names, or their numbers, but anyone voluntarily doing so can, do it and extended its earlier order of stay on the Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh govt's order of doing so. The top court's two-judge bench, headed by Justice Hrishikesh Roy and Justice S V N Bhatti, extended its earlier interim order of July 22, which said Food sellers must not be forced to serve names of owners, staff employed. The apex court today clarified that this order should continue till we hear the matter next. The apex court passed the order on July 22 after hearing the plea filed by an NGO, AssociationFor Protection of Civil Rights (APCR), All India Trinamool Congress leader and Prof Apoorvanand, and Journalist Aakar Patel, as they had moved the Apex court challenging the state govts order. Two weeks given to file replies. One week thereafter for rejoinder... (to UP). Rejoinder to other states within three weeks of receipt. The interim order shall continue, the apex court said, in its order. 'No need to display owners' names, show menu': SC stays UP, Uttarakhand order to eateries on Kanwar Yatra route During the course of the hearing on Friday an advocate appearing for a Kanwar yatrasaid that he carried water on barefoot and walk. I want access to Satwik bhojan. I want choice of food atleast. To this, the apex court told him find that information yourself. Our order is very clear in this aspect. The lawyer, however, kept on insisting that but shravan will be over and displaying names have no harm. The SC, however, did not pass any order into his prayer and observed, don't test our patience. TheUP government issued orders on July 19, making it mandatory for shopkeepers and eatery owners to display their names along with other details on their establishments across all pockets in the state where the Kanwar Yatra is organised. However, after a strong reaction from various quarters, the order was reviewed on Thursday and it was left to the 'free will' of the eateries owners to display their names.

Award Bharat Ratna to Kanshi Ram or stop misleading Dalits: Mayawati to BJP
Mayawati on Friday hit out at the BJP over a party MP seeking the Bharat Ratna for Kanshi Ram, saying the saffron party, which is in power at the Centre, should either award the highest civilian honour to the BSP founder or stop misleading Dalits. BJP MP from Shahjahanpur, Arun Kumar Sagar, on Thursday demanded in the Lok Sabha that Kanshi Ram be conferred with the Bharat Ratna. Hailing Kanshi Ram as a 'Bahujan Nayak', Sagar said the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) founder was an ace politician and a social reformer who dedicated his entire life to the welfare of the downtrodden. BSP chief and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati, in a post in Hindi on X, said if the BJP-led central government confers the Bharat Ratna on Kanshi Ram, the party would welcome it wholeheartedly. Instead of a Dalit MP of BJP from UP demanding Bharat Ratna for BSP founder Shri Kanshi Ram ji, (the BJP) should immediately get it done as its government is in power at the centre and the BSP will welcome
Kanwar directives to ensure peace, quell confusion: UP govt in SC

On July 22, the apex court ordered an interim stay on the directives issued by the BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand governments. It may be noted that the idea behind the directives is transparency and informed choice of the consumer/kanwaria regarding the food they eat during the period of the Yatra, keeping in mind their religious sentiments so that they don't, even accidently, fall foul of their beliefs, the Uttar Pradesh government said in its reply on pleas challenging the directive. The directives asking eateries along the Kanwar Yatra routes were decried by the opposition as intended to promote religious discrimination. The Uttar Pradesh government said in its submission to the Supreme Court that care is taken

BJP MP from Shahjahanpur, Arun Kumar Sagar, on Thursday demanded in the Lok Sabha that Kanshi Ram be conferred with the Bharat Ratna. Hailing Kanshi Ram as a 'Bahujan Nayak', Sagar said the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) founder was an ace politician and a social reformer who dedicated his entire life to the welfare of the downtrodden. BSP chief and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati, in a post in Hindi on X, said if the BJP-led central government confers the Bharat Ratna on Kanshi Ram, the party would welcome it wholeheartedly. Instead of a Dalit MP of BJP from UP demanding Bharat Ratna for BSP founder Shri Kanshi Ram ji, (the BJP) should immediately get it done as its government is in power at the centre and the BSP will welcome it wholeheartedly. Else (the BJP) should stop misleading Dalits, she said. , Mayawati (@Mayawati) July 26, 2024 Mayawati also alleged that the Union Budget failed to give proper attention to a poor and backward state like Uttar Pradesh which has a huge population. In the budget presented by the NDA government in Parliament, the allocation was done in a biased manner for political gains instead of national and public interests, she said. Although such step-motherly treatment by the Centre towards some states is not new as the BSP government had faced it too when it was in power in Uttar Pradesh, she said. The non-BJP ruled states are unhappy with the budget and have decided not to participate in the meeting of the NITI Aayog regarding this. How fair is it not to pay proper attention to a poor and backward state with a huge population like UP? It is very important for the Centre to keep the country and public interests paramount, she added in another post. 2. / - , ? Mayawati (@Mayawati) July 26, 2024
Delhi High Court asks police to reply to MP Mahua Moitra's plea to quash FIR
NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the city police to respond to TMC Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra's plea seeking quashing of an FIR against her over a derogatory social media remark on NCW chief Rekha Sharma. Justice Neena Bansal Krishna issued a notice to the Delhi Police on the petition and asked it to file a status report within four weeks. The high court listed the matter for arguments on the legality and validity of the FIR, as challenged in the petition, on November 6. The police registered an FIR against Moitra this month Under Section 79 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) that deals with a word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman. This was the first FIR registered under the BNS by the Delhi Police's Special Cell since it came into force on July 1. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader had commented on a video posted on X that showed National Commission for Women (NCW) chief Rekha Sharma arriving at the site of a stampede in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras on July 4. Moitra later deleted the post, which referred to a man holding an umbrella and walking behind Sharma. Senior advocate Indira Jaising, appearing for Moitra, submitted that they were not provided with a copy of FIR despite asking. The counsel for the police then handed over the FIR copy to the petitioner's counsel in the court. The FIR stated that the NCW took suo motu cognisance of Moitra's alleged derogatory remarks and the FIR was lodged based on a complaint by the NCW. The FIR stated, The crude remarks made by Moitra are extremely outrageous and a sheer violation of a woman's right to live with dignity.

Kanwar Yatra directives aim to ensure 'public safety', 'order': UP tells SC
NEW DELHI: The Uttar Pradesh government, in its reply filed before the Supreme Court on Thursday, said that the directives issued by it to display shop names, numbers, and their employees' names were aimed at ensuring public safety, order, larger transparency, informed choice of food of Kanwarias they eat during the Yatra, keeping in mind their religious sentiments. These directives aimed at ensuring public safety and order during the Yatra given the large number of participants and potential for communal tensions, the UP government told the apex court, in its reply copy, accessed by this newspaper. The top court on July 22, while passing the interim order staying the UP, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh government's ordersdirective asking eateries on the Kanwariya Yatra route to put the names, addresses and mobile numbers of their owners and staff, had asked them to file their replies in the case. The court's two-judge bench, led by Justice Hrishikesh Roy and Justice S V N Bhatti, passed the order after hearing the pleas filed by an NGO, Association For Protection of Civil Rights (APCR), All India Trinamool Congress leader, Mahua Moitra and Prof. Apoorvanand. They had moved the Supreme Court challenging these state governmentss order. The apex court is scheduled to hear the matter on Friday. Filing the reply in the top court, the UP governmentopposed the petitions challenging it's diktat regarding display of name of shop owners on Kanwar route and had urged it to reject the same Kanwar Yatra: Congress welcomes Supreme Court stay on UP, Uttarakhand orders These directives were brought in only after there were complaints from Kanwariyas, UP government said, adding that these directives were to ensure a peaceful Kanwar Yatra 2024. The apex court, however, stayed the order and granted relief to the petitioners. We deem it appropriate to pass interim order prohibiting the enforcement of the directives. In other words, the food sellers (including dhaba owners, restaurants, foods and vegetable sellers, and hawkers) may be required to display the kind of food that they are serving to the Kanwariyas. But they must not be forced to display the name or identity of the owners and also the employees, deployed in their respective establishments, the bench had said in its order on July 22. The UP government issued directives recently, making it mandatory for shopkeepers and eatery owners to display their names along with other details on their establishments across all pockets in the state where the Kanwar Yatra is organised.The UP government did so, to maintain the sanctity of the pilgrims' faith. The authorities also made it clear that action would be taken against those selling 'halal-certified' products. However, after a strong reaction from various quarters, the order was reviewed on Thursday and it was left to the 'free will' of the eateries owners to display their names. The Kanwar Yatra will commence on July 22 with the starting of the Hindu month of Shravan and conclude on August 2. The petitioners argued that just on the eve of Kanwariya Yatras for the year 2024, the directives have been issued and there is no instance of any similar directives in the past years.
