Wonder how the Supreme Court could be taken for a ride into appointing such a sarkari committee.

Beg to disagree, sir. NaMo is showing himself to be incapable of standing up to the judiciary. Firstly, by repeatedly telling farmers: "let the SC decide". What is there for the SC to decide? Our milords don't need an invitation for over-reach and he just handed them one.

Just like with CAA, this Govt doesn't know how to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed authority. They are too afraid of judiciary & media. Plus, they're trying to please everyone. Both are recipes for failure.

Pathetic to see a Govt that was elected with an unprecedented majority to behave in this craven manner.

People won't respect a Govt that cannot display Kshatriyata. No one follows a "beta male"

sirji,

The govt is playing the very cards that no one wanted them to play. The BIF thought that they were holding the aces but forgot to keep track of the jokers

The govt have quite adroitly slipped out of the firing line.

His job is to make sure that no one there articulates any grievances. No talks. No complaints.

His mission is to DEFEAT MODI by making this Skihs vs Hindus. REPEAL, REPEAL, REPEAL is their mantra ...

Once they REPEAL, they will use the model on CAA and any other legislation they pass any time in future. The idea is to stop any development, progress and stall while other side of the BIF will mock Modi on economy, growth and jobs.

What Supreme Court is doing isn't under the basic structure doctrine. It is an over application of what's called "plenary powers doctrine".
That those plenary powers - for SC to do "complete justice" in a matter before it - are too broad is because SC interpreted them to be so

Defence budget 2021 is set to reflect the modernisation plan of the Armed Forces for the next 5 years which is likely to attract the highest ever hike in the upcoming budget for the sector and a 2-year roll-on acquisition plan is also being made. Indian Defence forces are moving ahead with pace to become 'Atmnirbhar' with minimum dependence on foreign weapons, equipment and technology. In order to achieve self-reliance, Defence budget can be hiked to reach 6 lakh crore figure.
Chief of Army Staff General MM Narawane said on Tuesday that, "We had got the biggest chunk of the national budget that was,15 per cent of the national budget last year but this year situation being more demanding due to the ongoing tensions with China along the LAC, we expect to get a higher budget this year."

General Narawane also emphasized on the need for technological advancements that require a high budget. In view of the challenge of the China People's Liberation Army in Ladakh and the continued treachery of Pakistan along the Line of Control, a long-term outline of military preparations is being prepared in the Ministry of Defense's Military Department. After the creation of the post of Chief of Defense, the defence budget of this time will be allocated on the basis of the joint modernization roadmap of the three armies.

According to defence sources, in view of the ongoing tension along the border, there may be an unprecedented increase in the budget for the situation of war on two fronts. The Chief of Defense Staff has been supervising a 5-year Safeguard Modernization Plan. Not only this, a two-year annual roll-on plan is also being made under the Integrated Capability Development Plan to make arrangements to counter the enemy in the capacity of the three armies.
Talks are going on with the Finance Ministry to create a Defense Modernization Fund which gets carried out to next year in case it is not spent without getting lapse. The Ministry has emphasized that military procurement and construction of infrastructure facilities such as roads and bridges etc. goes on for a long time, so it is not possible to spend the budget in a year.

There have been indications that not only will the budget be arranged for the expenditure in the defence sector for one year but also according to the estimate of the next five years in the budget. It is estimated that this time there will be an unprecedented increase in the defence budget, giving a strong message to China.

A provision of Rs 4,71,000 crore was made in the defence budget for the year 2020-21, but in this,Rs 1,33,000 was only for pension. So there was only Rs 3,23,000 crore left for defence expenditure. There was also a provision of about Rs 1,00,000 crore for defence modernization.

The Ministry has sound reasons for more defence budget this time. The target is to complete the work of the integration of the three armies in the next 3 years. For this, these three new commands have to be created:
1.Defense space agency
2.Defense Cyber ​​Agency
3.Military Forces Special Operations Division.
Two other commands whose blueprints are being prepared by involving the three armies are:
1.-Air Defense Command
2. -Sea Command

The Defense Ministry is also continuously working on reducing its pension budget which has increased from Rs 1,17,000 crore to 1,33,000 crore. Initiatives have been taken to increase the age of retirement of soldiers. According to defence sources, work is also underway on a scheme for the officers of the Short Service Commission so that the expenditure of pension on this head can also be eliminated.

However, India's defence budget remains nowhere compared to China. China has a defence budget of about $ 45 billion which is five times more than India's defence budget. Officially China's defence budget was said to be 167 billion dollars, but according to an estimate by the International Institute of Strategic Affairs, Sipri, the Chinese budget is more than 254 billion dollars.

Two major steps are also being taken for the in-house resources of the defence forces. A Defense Renewal Fund will be created in which funds will be raised from the monetization of defence sector land. Secondly, Rs 40,000 crore will be raised in the next 8 years through National Building Construction Corporation Limited on the lines of self-financing to build 80 thousand houses of soldiers.

Apart from this, the Ministry of Defense has leased land from governments in many states and the state governments require land for roads and other facilities.
These plans will be instrumental in strengthening the defence forces with the spirit of 'Atmnirbhar Bharat' .

“This is a very delicate situation”, the bench said, adding, “There is not a single petition before us which says that these farm laws are beneficial. We are not experts on economy; you tell us whether government is going to put on hold farm laws or we will do this, the bench said. We are sorry to say that Centre has not been able to solve the problem and the farmers’ agitation.”

Uganda bans Twitter and Facebook over election interference allegations, Twitter cries ‘Human Rights’ violation

Amidst the ongoing interference in the elections by the big-techs companies such as Twitter and Facebook, the Ugandan officials had ordered internet service providers to shut down social media and messaging applications on Tuesday. The move comes two days ahead of the country's presidential election.

Twitter, which has been facing a massive backlash across the world for stifling the freedom of speech by banning the sitting President of the United States Donald Trump over ideological issues, on Tuesday ironically posted a tweet condemning the Ugandan authorities blocking social media apps in the run-up to an election in the African country.

According to the reports, the Uganda government on Tuesday through the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) has ordered internet service providers to block access to social media applications and websites. It was reported that Twitter and Facebook were trying to interfere in the elections by blocking certain pro-government voices.

Amidst the ongoing interference in the elections by the big-techs companies such as Twitter and Facebook, the Ugandan officials had ordered internet service providers to shut down social media and messaging applications on Tuesday. The move comes two days ahead of the country’s presidential election. The sitting president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni is facing a contest against opposition frontrunner and popular singer Bobi Wine.

Twitter, Facebook accused of election interference in Uganda
The decision to ban social media companies comes as retaliation after Facebook had arbitrarily deleted some government-linked accounts.

Facebook claimed that it removed the accounts for seeking to manipulate public debate ahead of the election, adding that they were tied to the Ministry for Information and Technology. Uganda struck back at Facebook and Twitter by banning them from the internet after they started censoring Uganda officials ahead of the elections.

Following the decision to ban to social media apps, the President of Uganda Yoweri K Museveni said, “these platforms should be used equitably, if you want to take any parts, then you can’t operate in Uganda, because Uganda is our country, we can’t accept them to decide who is good and who is bad.”

“I apologize that the Government of Uganda has closed Facebook in Uganda, this is very unfortunate but inevitable. If they are to operate here, they have to be equitable,” President Museveni added.

Taking to Twitter, the Ugandan government said, “We demand that Facebook & Twitter write directly to the individuals that lost their accounts. Since Facebook cited MoICT of Uganda in their statement, let them write to us so that there’s a chance for a fair hearing. Accounts lost on Facebook belong to the Government of Uganda employees.

Twitter outrages over ban, claims violated ‘human rights’
Following the temporary ban on social media apps in Uganda, Twitter ‘tweeted’ to condemn the Ugandan government’s action to stop tech giants interference in the elections.

Just days after arbitrarily banning US President Donald Trump, after months of stopping posts about alleged election fraud in the US, and literally carrying out a witch hunt against the outgoing US President to favour his opponent, Twitter flaunted its hypocrisy by claiming that ban on social media apps was nothing but ‘censoring speech’ and basic ‘human rights’ in an election.

The under-fire micro-blogging site posted a tweet saying, “Ahead of the Ugandan election, we’re hearing reports that internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps. We strongly condemn internet shutdowns- they are hugely harmful and violate basic human rights and the principles of #openinternet.”

Twitter also said that earlier this week in close coordination with their peers, they had suspended a number of accounts targeting the election in Uganda. If we can attribute any of this activity to state-backed actors, we will disclose to our archive of information operations, it added.

“Access to information and freedom of expression, including the public conversation on Twitter, is never more important than during democratic processes, particularly elections,” Twitter claimed in a tweet exposing its own hypocrisy over the issue of free speech on the internet.

Big-techs election interference in US Presidential elections and banning of POTUS Trump

Allegations of election interference by Big-tech became a huge issue in the run-up to the US Presidential elections last year after social media giants such as Facebook, Twitter along with Google began to censor and manipulate the accounts linked to conservatives and Republican party supporters, thus giving an unfair advantage for the radical left and Democrats to further their propaganda in the US elections.

Addition to that, Big Tech such as Facebook, Google and Twitter have made it very clear that they have Democrat-leaning bias and they work towards unjustly silencing Republican voices on their platforms.

After censuring his content, Twitter and Facebook also took an extreme step of banning the sitting President of United States – Donald Trump from its platforms citing that he had incited violence ahead of the Capitol Hill protests that erupted in Washington DC.

‘If Nikita Is Indeed India’s Daughter, Join Me In Legal Fight. I Can’t Do It Alone’. Broke And Jobless, Slain Nikita Tomar’s Father Turns To Community
https://swarajyamag.com/politics/if-nik ... -community
From a distance, the Nikita Tomar murder case of Faridabad seems like an open-and-shut case.

A viral video clearly showed the key accused Mohammed Tausif shooting Nikita in point blank range. Yet, fighting the murder case against Tausif legally in court is proving to be an onerous task for Nikita’s family.

Nikita’s father Moolchand Tomar recently turned to local social organisations requesting for support. He told the organisation heads that he was on the verge of giving up the legal fight as he just could not do it all alone.

Two weeks ago, Tomar lost his job for taking too many offs for court hearings.
...
Few mediapersons, however, turned up at the venue. Not many organisations participated either, perhaps because it had rained all day. Among those who participated were Virendra Gaud, who heads a Faridabad-based social organisation named Yuva Sewa Sangathan, and Brij Bhushan Saini, who heads another Faridabad-based social organisation named Dev Sena that works primarily for Hindus.
...
At the meeting, Tomar told the gathering that he had lost his job as an electrician in a private Noida-based company, where he had been working for many years. “Every other day, I was called at the police station to verify this or that. Then there are constant court hearings. For some weeks, my employer did not say anything, but eventually asked me to leave,” Tomar said.
...
As per Nikita’s family, Tausif killed Nikita for refusing to convert to Islam and marry him.

...
Tomar told the gathering he had no idea that proving the charges was going to be so challenging. “I am told that everything hangs on the testimony of witnesses and they can be bought with money. The other party [Tausif’s side] is powerful and has hired some of the most expensive lawyers,” said Tomar.

“I am also told that even if he gets convicted by the district court, he can go to the high court. How am I going to continue the fight? I have already exhausted all my resources,” he said.

Tomar said that two months into the court case, he has realised that the legal system works in far more complicated ways than he had assumed and the process is way costlier than he had imagined. “We need a lawyer at every step. Every trip to the court needs money. I don’t want to take any names but even policemen ask for money for doing their job,” he said.
...
The activist said that it is being repeatedly observed that the government gives prompt monetary relief to victims belonging to Muslim community, but does not extend the gesture to Hindus, especially “savarnas” (non-Dalits).

To make his point, Gaud cited the 2015 case where two Dalit children were allegedly burnt to death by members of an upper caste community in Sunperh village of Faridabad, and the 2017 case where a 16-year-old Muslim boy Junaid was allegedly killed by some fellow passengers belonging to Hindu religion over a seat-related dispute in a train.

“In both cases, prominent opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi visited the families. The Khattar government gave the families jobs and compensation. How is it that the state government is able to help those victim families immediately but not families like Nikita’s? Why are savarna Hindus repeatedly ignored?” he said.

Brij Bhushan Saini said that Hindus in general are ignored by various state governments. He cited the 2015 case in Uttar Pradesh where a Muslim man named Mohammed Akhlaq was allegedly beaten up by a crowd of Hindus for slaughtering a cow. The then Akhilesh Yadav government gave the family four flats in Greater Noida and about Rs 45 lakh.

The Narendra Modi government is set to launch a new flagship programme to provide piped water supply and tap connections to all households in urban areas with less than one lakh population, reports The Economic Times.

Named as Jal Jeevan Mission (Urban), the union government is expected to earmark Rs 1.35 lakh crore for the mission which will be implemented over the next five years.

The Union Budget for 2021-22 may include this mission and the housing and urban affairs ministry would be the nodal agency.

Households in almost 4,000 towns with less than one lakh population will be provided with piped tap water connections.
