High-time NRIs empowered to vote from their locations: Outgoing CEC Rajiv Kumar
NEW DELHI: Outgoing Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar on Monday stressed the need to have a totaliser system to ensure confidentiality in polling station-wise voting patterns He also said that it is high time that NRIs are empowered to vote from their locations. In his farewell address ahead of his retirement on attaining the age of 65 years, he also said consensus for remote voting mechanisms is must to facilitate crores of migrant voters. Biometric authentication at polling booths should be tried to efficiently tackle impersonation of voters, Kumar, who demits office on February 18, said. He said online reporting of political party expenditures has begun and must be made mandatory for better financial transparency and analytics. On political promises, he said these must be backed by financial disclosures and courts need to facilitate early decision. SC to hear plea on new election law day after CEC Rajiv Kumar retires Unregulated social media algorithms pose a serious risk to elections worldwide and must be addressed urgently, Kumar underlined and asserted that election management bodies need to develop capacity to counter mischievous, baseless and strategically timed criticism. Casting doubt on outcomes after active and full participation in the process is undesirable, the outgoing head of the poll authority lamented. Technology has been a powerful enabler in our electoral processes, helping refine voter rolls, streamline operations, and engage citizens more effectively, he said. The EC, he said, has been at the forefront in adopting technology in our electoral operations. However, innovations like biometric authentication may further help prevent impersonation and multiple voting, ensuring that every vote belongs to the rightful voter, he said. Presently in the system of counting of votes, the result is retrieved from each EVM, then the votes polled in respect of each candidate is totalled and result is declared. The demerit of this system of counting is that the candidates can know from where they have received how much vote. This leads to the problem of post-election violence, victimisation and exclusion of the supporters of opposition parties from developmental activities. To address this, Kumar said, technologies like the totaliser, already developed by the Commission, would ensure that the votes secured by each candidate- polling station wise is not disclosed. I believe that this matter should be explored, political consensus attempted and tested on a pilot basis to enhance voter secrecy and protect the integrity of the electoral process, the outgoing CEC said.

MI Cape Town ease past Sunrisers Eastern Cape to reach playoffs for first time
Cape Town: MI Cape Town delivered a fielding, bowling and batting masterclass at Newlands on Wednesday evening to book their maiden appearance in the Betway SA20 Playoffs. It has now set up an all-Western Cape Qualifier 1 with current table-toppers Paarl Royals set to meet MI Cape Town at St Georges Park in Gqeberha on Tuesday, February 4. The winner will advance directly to the final at the Wanderers on Saturday, February 8. MI Cape Town were excellent from the outset with Dewald Brevis, Corbin Bosch and Reeza Hendricks claiming spectacular catches to help dismiss the Sunrisers Eastern Cape for just 109. Brevis, in particular, had the Newlands faithful gasping for air in awe as he flew horizontally to take a one-handed grab before rolling on the ground within a whisker of the boundary rope. (Fielding) is very important especially in this format. Today, before the game, we had the discussion to keep the continuity. I feel like the effort you put in fielding is very important. Fielding put us ahead in the game. Ground fielding was amazing, and I think it plays a huge role. It was important to finish with the bonus point and in top two, said MI Cape Town Rashid Khan. I feel it's so good for the team and I hope they continue. Were keep things simple and have fun. We had a very tough couple of years as a team. We just talked about to let's just have fun, have the basics right, put effort in field and forget about the last two years and I feel the way everyone stood up, took responsibility (has been the difference). Inspired by their fielding unit, the MI Cape Town bowlers responded with an equally excellent display, led by allrounder Boschs Betway SA20 career-best 4/19 and Kagiso Rabadas 2/14. David Bedingham tried his best to keep the Sunrisers afloat with a workmanlike run-a-ball 45, but did not have sufficient support from the moment his new opening partner Tony de Zorzi, who was on debut for the defending champions, succumbed early on to Rabada. The MI Cape Town run chase was never in doubt with Ryan Rickelton (59 not out off 36 balls, 8x4, 1x6) and Rassie van der Dussen (48 not out off 30 balls, 4x4, 2x6) hardly needing to drop down to second gear during their 110-run unbroken opening partnership. Van der Dussen displayed the early intent by striking Marco Jansen for a boundary and six in the first over before Rickelton continued his growing affection with Newlands. The only blip on a flawless evening for MI Cape Town was Van der Dussen missing out on a half-century by two runs after Rickelton had raised his bat to another sold out Newlands crowd moments earlier. The Sunrisers now have one all-important league match remaining against the Royals at St George's Park on Saturday to secure their playoff berth.

US courts blocking gives breather to NRIs
Hyderabad: A US federal judge temporarily blocking President Donald Trumps executive order to end birthright citizenship has brought relief to several NRIs and members of the Indian community living in the United States. Although Trump said on Thursday that his administration would appeal the ruling given by the federal court, more lawsuits and cases are being filed all across the country. Six lawsuits have been filed challenging Trump's order, most of them by Democratic attorneys generals from 22 states, with experts speculating the order would be blocked and ended permanently soon. However, news that the Trump administration is examining temporary legal arrivals under the Biden presidency has come as a fresh cause for worry. The controversial order by President Trump had sought to end the automatic granting of citizenship to children born on US soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. The temporary block, until February 20, ensures that the law remains unchanged for now, providing reassurance to many immigrant families. Akanksha Gupta, a recently married IT professional living in California, said, It's a sense of relief that the order was blocked. The judges decision showed that the legal system in the US still works to protect the fundamental rights of citizens who come here for a livelihood. The decision comes as many immigrant communities closely monitor the legal battles over Trump policies. NRIs are hopeful that the courts will permanently strike it down. The order getting quashed was inevitable, said Bhanu Kumar, a student in New Jersey. It is completely against the 14th Amendment and several cases have already been fought on this matter. Those cases will now be used to completely thrash the executive order, he explained. Dinesh K., a graduate of Chicago, said, I moved to the US for opportunities, and I believe the country stands for equality. I am confident the courts will uphold that principle. Many believe this is not the last legal challenge Trump's policies will face. Immigrant rights organisations and Democratic leaders are expected to fight hard against other controversial decisions made by his administration. The legal battle over birthright citizenship is far from over, but for now, immigrant families can breathe a little easier.
Sunrisers raise the roof at St George's Park with fourth straight win
Sunrisers Eastern Cape raised the roof at St Georges Park with a fourth consecutive victory to power the defending champions into second place on the Betway SA20 table. Sunrisers are up to 19 points just one below the tabletopping Paarl Royals, who have played one game less. The 14-run victory over the Joburg Super Kings was hard earned with the Sunrisers once again relying on their captain Aiden Markram and their most senior bowler Marco Jansen. Markram held his teams innings together with a high-quality 43 from 29 balls, while Tristan Stubbs also enjoyed a welcome return to form with 35 not out off 22 balls. Opener David Bedingham also contributed a solid 37 that pushed the Sunrisers up to a highly-competitive 165-4. They have a strong batting line-up. It was there and thereabouts (with regards to a par score). 160, it felt like a good score. They bowled really well, said JSK captain Faf du Plessis. They bowled some tight overs, put pressure back on us. They (SEC) are very successful at home. Sunrisers' bowling attack has proved the difference over the last four matches and so they showed yet again on another rousing night in Gqeberha. And its Jansen that leads the way with the new ball in the Powerplay. Despite having Du Plessis (27 off 18 balls) dropped at slip by Simon Harmer, Jansen responded two balls later to dismiss the JSK skipper in exactly the same fashion. Harmer made amends by holding on to the chance the second time around. It was in fact good captaincy from Markram who gave Jansen a third over in the Powerplay in the hope of breaking a promising opening partnership between Du Plessis and Devon Conway. The New Zealand international laid down the anchor for the remainder of the JSK innings with 43 off 40 balls, but did not have sufficient support at the other end for the visitors to haul in the target. This was due to sustained pressure from the Sunrisers bowling attack with Richard Gleeson (2/37), Ottneil Baartman (2/32), Liam Dawson (1/10) and Markram (1/21) all chipping in to maintain the pressure on the Super Kings. They (bowling unit) are clear in their plans, have played a lot of T20 cricket. They assess conditions, come up with the plan and then it comes down to execution, Markram said. They have been clutch for us. Even tonight, the game was in the balance, they came up with plans and executed. More often than not, it is the execution by them.

Parliamentary Panel Weighs NRI Representation in Parliament
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor (PTI) Congress MP Shashi Tharoor (PTI) NEW DELHI: The parliamentary committee on external affairs is contemplating over representation of NRIs in the Parliament in view of their growing number and unique issues concerning the diaspora. On Tuesday, evidence of the diaspora organisations in connection with examination of the subject Indian diaspora overseas including NRIs, PIOs, OCIs and migrant workers: all aspects of their conditions and welfare, including the status of the emigration Bill, took place in which organisations like Norka Roots, Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala); department of NRIs affairs, Government of Punjab; people of Indian origin chamber of commerce and industry (PIOCCI), Delhi and centre for diaspora studies central university of Gujarat, Gandhinagar presented their views.
