CJI Gogoi terms sexual harassment charges ‘unbelievable’, says judiciary’s independence under ‘severe’ threat
https://indianexpress.com/article/india/supreme-court-special-sitting-cji-ranjan-gogoi-arun-mishra-sanjeev-khanna-5685550/
New Delhi :At an emergency special session of the Supreme Court Saturday, a bench led by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi expressed serious displeasure over allegations of sexual harassment in reports in some online portals against the CJI himself and called it an attempt to undermine the independence of the judiciary. At the session which was convened at 10.39 am, hours after some news portals reported on the allegations by an ex staffer, CJI sitting with Justices Arun Mishra and Sanjiv Khanna said:“This is unbelievable. I should not stoop low even in denying it.”Attorney General KK Venugopal and Solicitor General Tushar Mehta prodded the court to take up the matter seriously.CJI said that an attempt was being made to undermine the judiciary and to “deactivate” the office of the CJI by levelling the allegations and added “the judiciary is under very serious threat”. CJI said all that was happening was because there were important matters coming up for the consideration of the court next week.“This is the reward CJI gets after 20 years?” he asked, adding he had “Rs 6,80,000 in my account after 20 years. Anyone can check the balance. Even my peon has more money”. He added he will not give in and will discharge his duty till his retirement. Venugopal said there were 2 precedents: one involving charges against retired Justice Swatanter Kumar and other against senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi and in both cases, the media was restrained from publishing matters related to it.He added that even “under the law on sexual harassment, the name of the accused and victim cannot be published” but in the instant case, “the report had totally brazenly” published names. The law officer said even he had been attacked on social media.A Delhi court Saturday said it would hear on April 24, a police plea to cancel the bail of an ex woman Supreme Court employee, who has accused CJI Gogoi of sexual misconduct, in a cheating and criminal intimidation case, PTI reported. An FIR for alleged offences of cheating, criminal intimidation and criminal conspiracy was lodged against the woman on March 3, after a complaint was filed by Naveen Kumar, a resident of Jhajjar in Haryana, alleging that the ex SC employee had defrauded him of Rs 50,000, which he claimed she took as part of a bribe, promising him a job at the SC. CJI pointed out that the allegations have coincided with the date of hearing the bail applications of the complainant in some criminal cases against her today. Mehta said the charges were coming from an “unscrupulous” person.indianexpress

https://www.latestly.com/india/news/muslim-prisoner-burn-stamped-om-on-back-in-delhis-tihar-jail-physically-assaulted-court-orders-probe-779460.html
New Delhi:A Muslim undertrial claimed that he was beaten and branded with an Om symbol by Tihar jail officials inside the jail premises.The case came to light after the man's family approached Karkardooma court with a complaint that their son's life was "in danger in the jail".When Shabbir alias Nabbir was brought before magistrate Richa Parihar, she found that the Om symbol had been engraved on his back.Shabbir is 34 years old and has been in Tihar since Nov.2017.On April 12, Shabbir raised a complaint with the superintendent of jail no 4 - Rajesh Chauhan. Shabbir told Chauhan that the induction stove in their barracks was not working properly. Incensed by complaint, jail official then started beating Shabbir. Chauhan then summoned Shabbir into his office, berating him for "trying to be a neta" and raising complaints. Behind closed doors, Chauhan and some other jail officials beat Shabbir again. They did not stop there.Not satisfied with the beating, Chauhan took a metal Om symbol, heated it, and branded the Om on Shabbir's back.Shabbir was then denied food for 2 days, and on April 14, Chauhan told Shabbir that he had "converted to Hinduism as he had 'fasted' during Navratri". The jail officials also berated him for his religion saying that "you Muslims have destroyed our country". Shabbir narrated his ordeal to his family, who contacted their advocate.On April 16, when advocate Jagmohan met his client(Shabbir) in jail, branded symbol had only healed a little.The case was heard by the court on April 17 when Shabbir was already scheduled to be brought to court for a hearing in the ongoing trial against him. The judge passed orders that Shabbir was to be medically examined, and immediately removed from "direct or indirect supervision of jail superintendent Chauhan". The court also ordered an enquiry and ordered DGP Prison to submit CCTV footage and take statements of the other prisoners within 24 hours.The brazenness of the authorities came out on April 18 as no official from the Tihar authority appeared before the court.The medical examination and enquiry reports also did not come to the court.The judge has now issued repeated orders, asking for a report from DGP Prisons, and will hear the matter on April 22. Meanwhile, Tihar authorities, in a statement to India Today, tried to downplay the incident."There is little possibility that any such incident has happened. We are conducting an enquiry,"a source said.The family is scared but have placed their hope in the judiciary.

Sadhvi Pragya Mocks Karkare, says he died because her curse: police officers slam her
https://indianexpress.com/elections/sadhvi-pragyas-remarks-on-hemant-karkare-immoral-says-ex-dgp-modi-had-visited-cops-home-5685293/?fbclid=IwAR160qtvvKrzKqUO-gqHmw3_r94jliqpeLWt6b6D4UiqHKo7sn12lhikrn0
Mumbai:Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur’s claim that former Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare, who was killed in Mumbai attack, died after she “cursed” him has triggered outrage among Karkare’s ex colleagues who expressed shock at “hurtful” remarks. Ex-Maharashtra DGP, Anami Roy,under whom Karkare-led ATS charged Thakur in 2008 Malegaon blasts case, said he was “appalled by the unethical and immoral statement”. Thakur’s remarks also brought back into focus a visit by the then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi to the central Mumbai residence of Karkare on Nov.28, 2008, even as NSG commandos were clearing the attack sites. And his promise of Rs 1 crore to the families of “security forces who were martyred while fighting terror”.11 years ago, speaking to reporters outside the Oberoi Hotel, Modi had said: “We must commit ourselves to destroy terrorism from its root.. I have visited the house of two brave police officers — those of Shriman Karkare and Shriman Salaskar… I have made an announcement today that those jawans of the security forces who were martyred while fighting terror, Gujarat govt will give their families Rs 1 crore… Yesterday, PM (Manmohan Singh) had a message for the country. I also expressed my feelings through the media yesterday, but the country had many expectations from PM, his message to the country was disappointing.”Karkare’s wife Kavita Karkare reportedly declined a cash award from the Gujarat government at the time.Ex state DGP Roy said: “(Thakur’s) comments have really hurt me and hence I am talking to you to defend someone who is not alive to defend himself. As the ATS reported to me, I was involved in the overall supervision of the investigation and stand by the chargesheet, which was done in a professional manner and without any extraneous influence or pressure. Chargesheet stands vindicated as the accused were not discharged and the trial court has framed charges and the trial is underway.”Speaking about Karkare, Roy said: “He was an absolute professional who did not have any political leanings. The man is no longer there to defend himself and as a service colleague, it is hurtful to hear such statements.” Former IPS officer Meeran Borwankar, who was a batch senior to Karkare, said she was “distressed” at Thakur’s comment. “I knew him for more than 20 years. He was a gentleman to the core and one of the most professionally sound police officers I have interacted with. Just because he is no more to defend himself, what right does Pragya Thakur have to smear his name? It is most unethical and against the Indian culture that the lady professes to believe in. I condemn her statement.” Former Mumbai Police Commissioner Julio Ribeiro said: “Karkare was one of our finest officers and it is so annoying to see such statements being made about him.” On Thakur’s case, Ribeiro said: “He did what Krishna told Arjun on the battlefield: To do one’s duty. Karkare did his duty like a good Hindu.”Dinesh Agarwal, a retired officer who was an inspector with Maharashtra ATS when Karkare was its chief, said: “He was one of the most upright officers I knew… Do you think it is easy to charge someone as influential as a Sadhvi (Pragya Thakur) or an Army Lt Colonel (Prasad Purohit) unless you have foolproof evidence against them? No officer would take such a chance.”indianexpress

New Delhi:AAP on Saturday blamed the Congress for not having an alliance on 18 Lok Sabha seats of Delhi, Haryana and Chandigarh. Senior party leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the Congress “wasted time” in the name of discussion over alliance against BJP-led ruling coalition in Lok Sabha elections. “Congress was doing timepass, it had no intention of having an alliance in Haryana,” said Sisodia explaining why seat-sharing talks between the Congress, AAP and JJP of Dushyant Chautala.Sisodia said, “sole reason for us to go for an alliance with Congress was to defeat the Modi-Shah pair in the election and not to fight over which party contests how many seats in these 18 Lok Sabha seats. But Congress backtracked from the last agreed seat-sharing arrangement for Haryana.” This came after AAP’s announcement on Friday that it had accepted one of Congress’s proposals for an alliance formula to share seats in Lok Sabha polls indicating revival of their on-again, off-again discussions for electoral pact that began over 4 months ago.Sisodia said the three parties had agreed for Congress’s proposal for a 7:2:1 seat-sharing arrangement in Haryana. Congress was to contest seven seats, JJP two and the AAP one.HT
UP: In Rohilkhand, Gangwars in Bareilly and Muslims in Badaun could hold key

:In Rohilkhand region’s two prominent seats, Gangwar votes have become crucial for Union Minister Santosh Gangwar in Bareilly while in adjoining Badaun, Muslim votes are crucial for SP candidate Dharmendra Yadav. Santosh’s main opponent, SP’s Bhagwat Sharan, is also a Gangwar, whereas in Badaun, Muslims have an option in Congress’s Salim Sherwani.Polling on both these seats is on April 23.Of total 17.76 lakh voters in Bareilly constituency, more than 5 lakh are Muslims. The second most dominant community is Gangwar (Kurmi, an OBC) — around 4 lakh voters. There are also around 1 lakh Vaishya voters, 3 lakh Scheduled Castes, 1 lakh Lodh farmers and nearly 1 lakh Maurya-Shakya, 70,000 Yadavs and 25,000 Jats.indianexpress
In Rampur, Azam Khan looks for Yadav-Jatav push as opponents cosy up to Congress
https://indianexpress.com/elections/rampur-azam-khan-yadav-jatav-push-lok-sabha-elections-5684614/
Rampur:Abdulla Azam Khan, MLA son of Azam Khan, has launched a bicycle rally in Rampur’s Topkhana area after the Election Commission banned his father from campaigning for three days. Azam Khan, Samajwadi Party’s candidate from Rampur in 2019 Lok Sabha elections, faced EC’s wrath after his “misogynistic” remarks against rival BJP candidate Jaya Prada.Abdulla told reporters,“The central government and some people want to curb the voices of Muslims, OBCs and Dalits, but they will not be successful.”This was only a few days after his father, while referring to the DM, had said: “Don’t fear the collector, have you seen the photos where these officers are seen polishing Mayawati’s shoes? I will get them to polish her shoes again.”The campaigning style of the father-son duo is reflective of the fact that in this Muslim majority Lok Sabha seat, support from OBCs (particularly Yadavs) and Scheduled Castes (particularly Jatavs) could be a big push for Azam, who is making his debut in parliamentary elections.An MLA for 9 terms since 1980, except in 1996 Assembly elections when he lost to Congress, Azam currently represents the Rampur assembly segment;his son Abdulla is MLA from Swar-Tanda segment.Turks’ votes among Muslims are nearly 1.45 lakh and they are considered against Azam Khan. Moreover, Pathans’ total vote in Rampur is nearly 1.35 lakh and a small number of them, who are elite, never liked Azam. While they may not go with BJP but are most likely to align with the Congress candidate — a move that may strengthen the prospects of BJP candidate Prada. indianexpress

‘Politics of UP, Gujarat Won't Work Here': Muslim Leaders in Rajasthan Struggle for Political Space
https://www.news18.com/news/politics/politics-of-up-gujarat-wont-work-here-muslim-leaders-in-rajasthan-struggle-for-political-space-2108899.html
New Delhi: Despite having a sizable population of about 9.07 per cent in Rajasthan, the Muslim community’s representation in politics remains minimal. While the Congress has fielded one Muslim candidate, Rafique Mandelia from Churu seat, in the ongoing Lok Sabha polls, BJP has not fielded any. In its history of fielding candidates, the saffron party in Rajasthan picked a Muslim candidates only once, in 1979 from Bikaner. The Congress, on the other side, has been giving ticket to one Muslim leader every election, except in 1962, 1967 and 1972.Muslim leaders in the desert state complain about the lack of electoral opportunities. Many among them believe that question of ‘winnability’, the ability of a candidate to garner votes from different communities affects their chances of candidature. A Muslim leader from the BJP’s state minority cell in Jaipur, wishing anonymity, said the party’s central leadership has sidelined Muslim leaders in Rajasthan and the number of Muslim candidates fielded by the party in Assembly polls has also fallen sharply.

https://thewire.in/rights/kerala-simi-case-high-court-acquitted-nia
Kozhikode: They were branded as “terrorists” by both the media and the state.Their ordinary lives were shattered, and families harassed. They spent more than 40 months in jail after being convicted in a terror case investigated by NIA.Panayikulam SIMI case, as their case was widely known as, became a phrase, synonymous with terror.After the Kerala high court announced their acquittal on April 12, Abdul Rasik, Nizamudeen and Shammas are now preparing to return to normal life. According to the HC verdict, NIA court’s 2015 decision to convict them was a “serious error”. Talking to a packed hall in Kozhikode, they said their happiness will only be complete when the thousands of other innocent people kept in jail are freed. Their co-accused – Shaduly and Ansar – are still in jail in connection with other cases –which rights groups allege, are fabricated.Abdul Rasik, Nizamudeen and Shammas, along with Shaduly and Ansar, were acquitted by the Kerala HC last week.They were arrested with a handful of others on Independence Day in 2006, when they were holding an event at an auditorium. thewire
Indian Muslims Need to Stand Up on Their Own Feet: Jamaat Chief Sadatullah Husaini
http://caravandaily.com/indian-muslims-need-to-stand-up-on-their-own-feet-jamaat-chief-sadatullah-husaini/
New Delhi:Syed Sadatullah Husaini has been elected as the new chief of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind for a tenure of 4 years (2019-2023).In an interview with caravan daily, he talks about various issues and challenges facing Muslims in India as well as all over the world and his organization’s plans to deal with them. He sheds light on the marginalization of Indian Muslims and the rise of Islamophobia all over the world. He speaks of his dream about India. He said, " Indian Muslims are realizing that they need to stand up on their own feet.The dependence and reliance on others is a liability for them. They can’t rely just on the govt. Education is the fundamental requirement to get socially and politically empowered. Secondly, this situation is motivating Muslims particularly its youth to build relations with the non-Muslim majority community. I think this is also very important, long-felt and long-neglected need. We need to engage with the majority. Perhaps the rising hate mongering is forcing us to engage with non-Muslims and to make them understand what Islam stands for. Such engagement should be accelerated and strengthened." The Jamaat chief further said," I have already mentioned a few points about our main concerns in the current situation; that our engagement with our majority community should be a priority, not just for the jamaat but for the entire community. Muslims should be motivated, trained and guided to take up this task of communicating the message of Islam.Second important need is the empowerment of Muslims educationally, socially and politically. The third being the youth; India is considered as a young nation. It has the highest youth population. Jamaat has always focused on youth and has established many organisations. SIO is an important organization. I think in this term we will be having a special focus on youth."caravandaily

Agartala:Facing delay in supply of ration for over 20 days, Bru tribals living in 6 refugee camps on Saturday threatened to loot the government godown at Gachiramparan. In a letter to North Tripura District Magistrate CK Jamatia, Mizoram Bru Displaced Peoples Forum (MBDPF) said, “Ration for the month of April is yet to be distributed, while the due date to receive the ration is generally between 1st-5th of every month.” “Take immediate steps for distribution of ration, otherwise all the displaced Brus will have to launch a democratic agitation including a blockade of road and looting of nearest Government relief Godown under the banner of MBDPF”, letter read.Bru body warned the state government to take immediate steps for distribution of ration, failing which the displaced Brus would blockade the road and loot nearest government relief godown. “There will be many casualties in the camps due to starvation if the ration is delayed further,” MBDPF general secretary Bruno Msha and president Apeto Sawibunga said, adding that the condition of those living in the camps is fast deteriorating. MBDPF added that the supplies were being delayed by 10-20 days every month for last 4 years. It added that MHA sanctioned free ration to Bru camps till Sept.31, 2019. Kanchanpur SDM, Abhedananda Baidya said that the delay was caused due to official formalities as MHA asked to halt supplies to camps after March 31, 2019. Over 37000 Bru tribals fled Mamit, Kolasib and Lunglei districts of Mizoram during ethnic clashes in 1997. They were sheltered in six major relief camps in Kanchanpur and Panisagar sub-divisions of northern Tripura. Nearly 7000 Brus returned to Mizoram in eight phases of repatriation. However, nearly 5,000 others sought shelter in Tripura in 2009 when fresh clashes broke out. 32,000 Brus still live in 6 relief camps in Tripura.indianexpress

The press freedom situation in Egypt has become more alarming under President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, Reporters Without Borders has said in its annual report.“Egypt is now one of the world’s biggest jailers of journalists,” the report wrote: “Some spend years in detention without being charged or tried. Others have been sentenced to long jail terms or even life imprisonment in iniquitous mass trials.”It added: “Since 2013, the authorities have waged a witch-hunt against journalists suspected of supporting Muslim Brotherhood and have orchestrated a ‘Sisification’ of the media.”“The internet is the only place left where independently-reported information can circulate,but over 500 websites have been blocked since the summer of 2017 and more and more people are being arrested because of their social network posts.”MEMO

‘B's must go': Algerians keep up pressure on old guard
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/04/algerian-protesters-pressure-political-guard-190419135822859.html
Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets for a ninth successive Friday in Algeria to demand a complete political overhaul in the wake of former president Abdelaziz Bouteflika's resignation.The protesters gathered in multiple cities throughout the country, including the capital Algiers, to call for root-and-branch reforms and the departure of the military's powerful chief of staff, General Ahmed Gaid Salah.Bouteflika's April 2 exit has failed to placate many Algerians, who instead want to remove entire clique historically aligned to the ailing ex-leader and a political elite that has dominated the country since its independence from France in 1962 and is widely perceived as corrupt.Algeria's parliament has tried to no avail to appease the demonstrators by naming an interim president, Bouteflika loyalist Abdelkader Bensalah, and announcing an election to be held on July 4.aljazeera
Gaza fishermen: Israel extending fishing zone is token gesture
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/04/gaza-fishermen-israel-extending-fishing-zone-token-gesture-190420083907373.html
Under cover of early morning darkness, Hassan Zidan, a Palestinian fisherman in Gaza, puts on warm clothes and ventures out to sea in a rickety fishing boat along with his friends. They hope to catch a good amount of fish to sell in the morning market. But before that, they will have to face a series of dangerous obstacles that hundreds of Palestinian fishermen are coping with on a near-daily basis."Only a few days ago, the Egyptians arrested four fishermen, and the week before that, Israel confiscated five fishing boats," Zidan said, adding both incidents had no pretext or clear reason.Israel enforces its 12-year blockade on the Gaza Strip with tens of gunboats that set the terms for an ever-changing limit on how far the fishermen can sail out into the Mediterranean Sea, keeping a tight grip on the siege against the impoverished enclave.aljazeera

Kuwait paper reveals plan to destabilise Jordan
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20190420-kuwait-newspaper-reveals-plan-to-destabilise-jordan/
Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas has revealed a “dangerous” plan aimed to destabilise Jordan by promoting an individual close to King Abdullah II.The Kuwaiti paper reported security and political sources as saying that the man behind this plan is the husband of the King’s aunt, Al-Wattan Voice reported on Friday. The man is believed to be a businessman charged with corruption and a senior security official loyal to a former intelligence agency chief. It is thought he has relations with a number of politicians and journalists inside and outside Jordan. According to the Kuwaiti newspaper, the “hellish plan” would have cast doubt over the King’s ability to choose heads of government, as well as include a deliberate campaign to weaken the current Prime Minister, Omar Al-Razzaz, by using information about recruiting ministers and MPs’ brothers to public positions with high salaries. This would be used to mobilise members of the different Jordanian tribes to start a protest in front of the Royal Palace in order to create a state of unprecedented instability. The newspaper reported that the planners asked the country’s banned Muslim Brotherhood to join the protests, but the group refused.middleeastmonitor
