Hoardings on Anti-CAA protesters 'highly unjust', HC orders UP Govt to remove them immediately; Govt replies court can't rule, verdict tomorrow
https://thewire.in/law/allahabad-hc-takes-cognisance-of-hoardings-with-names-photos-of-anti-caa-protesters
New Delhi: Allahabad high court had asked the administration to take down hoardings put up in Lucknow, with photographs and personal details of people involved with the anti-CAA protests. The attorney general, appearing for the state, responded by saying that this bench of the high court did not have jurisdiction, as the hoardings were in Lucknow. A high court bench headed by Chief Justice Govind Mathur heard the case on Sunday, taking suo moto cognisance of the matter. The verdict will be announced tomorrow. The bench, also comprising Justice Ramesh Sinha, said in oral observations that the state’s action was “highly unjust” and that it was an absolute “encroachment” on personal liberty of the persons concerned. The court had taken suo moto cognisance of the hoardings, which contained the names, photographs and addresses of anti-CAA protestors the government is holding responsible for violence.“Good sense should prevail on the State and it must remove the hoardings before 3 pm and apprise the court about this at 3,” LiveLaw quoted the bench as saying.AG, though, responded by questioning the court’s jurisdiction and saying that PILs should not be filed on behalf of “those who break the law”.DM and divisional police commissioner of Lucknow had been asked by the court to inform what law  was used to put up such posters on the city’s streets.On Saturday, advocate Shashank Tripathi had filed a PIL against hoardings. Several human rights activists and others have talked about how the hoardings put the people mentioned in danger. Earlier this week, BJP government in Uttar Pradesh had put up hoardings with the photos and home addresses of those it blames for the violence during the anti-CAA protests at strategic traffic points in the capital city.The hoardings had reportedly been put up on Adityanath’s instructions. thewire

However, the bench has now ordered to club both cases- Mohd Faizan's along with similar petitions which will be heard on April 20. Lucknow administration had assessed the damage to be worth Rs 1.55 crore. As per information, 10 people from the Thakurganj area and 6 from the Qaiserbagh area have been served recovery notices of over Rs 69 lakh till now.

Bad weather takes a toll, but Delhi's Shaheen Bagh women don’t budge an inch
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/bad-weather-takes-a-toll-but-shaheen-baghs-women-dont-budge-an-inch/articleshow/74532619.cms
New Delhi: 2 days of incessant rain did leave a mark on Shaheen Bagh — the tarpaulin had blown away, PA system became faulty and the road was wet. But the women were there, along with their resolve to stay put until CAA is rolled back.When TOI visited neighbourhood on Saturday, nearly 300 women sat under the open sky, while locals arranged for replacements for the tent. There was also an addition to the site — nearly a dozen crudely constructed charpoys had been placed back-to-back on the road to ensure the women did not have to sit on the cold, wet road.“We placed the order with the local carpenters and they made these at a nominal price. The elevated chowkis make it easier for the elderly to sit,” said 22-year-old Saima, who manages the speakers’ list.When asked about the allegations that attendance had thinned, Saima said it was an attempt to “malign” the women. “They shot the visuals when the women had gone to change their clothes after being drenched in the rain. We sat here through the coldest winter, and we will sit here through the harshest summer. We are not going anywhere,” she added.Earlier in the day, members of the shop association at Shaheen Bagh met the southeast DCP, RP Meena, to request him to provide them safety and open one side of the road so they could resume work and earn their livelihood.One of the shopkeepers who went to meet the DCP said the meeting did not yield any result as the matter is sub judice. But the women denied that the association spoke on their behalf.Abdur Rahman Siddiqi, a 25-year-old who volunteers with the community kitchen, said they have been preparing food for the same number of people as earlier. “We prepare food twice between 2pm and 10pm. Like before, we are getting the raw material and vegetables from volunteers and well-wishers,” Siddiqi said.TOI

As the anti-CAA protests continue across the country—despite the violence the national capital witnessed in Feb—on the eve of International Women’s Day, protesters in London marched in solidarity with the women-lead movement at Shaheen Bagh. Protesters were part of Million Women Rise March. A press statement released in this regard said, “The Shaheen Bagh bloc at the demonstration highlighted the iconic nature of the women’s occupation in Delhi which has been going on since 14 December and has inspired hundreds of other Shaheen Baghs all over India. The protests sites have become spaces of safety and creativity where women are putting forward an alternative vision of the future in which all kinds of oppression can be challenged.”newsclick

Kavita Krishnan: Women at the Shaheen Baghs all over India are fighting for us all to be free
https://indianexpress.com/article/books-and-literature/kavita-krishnan-anti-caa-protest-shaheen-bagh-fearless-freedom-6302399/
New Delhi :Kavita Krishnan’s Twitter bio reads like an assertion. The succinct, “Woman who misbehaves & rants on TV, Twitter, FB, YouTube!” bears exasperation of an-oft repeated observation made about her and also her defiant acceptance that they are right, this is she. In her new book, Fearless Freedom, she does something similar: rather than subverting the seemingly offensive adjectives used against women, she persuades to accept them. The origin of the problem, she maintains, is in the innate expectation from women to be a certain way and not in women being a particular way. Activist, who has been a recurrent voice of women through various ordeals, argues with the authority and precision of an analyst the extent of oppression suffered by women, the ubiquity of it (cutting through caste and class barriers) and its utter unfairness.She spoke to indianexpress.com regarding the pronouncements she made in the book, her perception of fearless freedom and the insidious way language affirms entitlement of men even when used for benefit of women.indianexpress

Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao on Saturday criticised CAA and NPR in the state Assembly, saying he also does not have his birth certificate, IANS reported. Rao suggested that the Centre should introduce a national identity card for citizens instead of implementing the controversial provisions, according to HT. Referring to NPR exercise, the chief minister expressed concern that people were being asked to produce birth documents of their parents to prove their citizenship. “Honestly speaking, I don’t have my birth certificate,” he added. “If I am asked who I am in this country, what should I say? How do I prove? I was born in my native village, in our own house. There were no hospitals then; so, I don’t have birth certificate.”scroll
Activities on TISS campus ‘curbed’, say students’ body; admin claims ‘put on hold till semester end’
https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/activities-on-tiss-campus-curbed-say-students-body-admin-claims-put-on-hold-till-semester-end-6305266/
Mumbai : TISS administration Wednesday denied the students’ union a permission to host the launch of author Sudhanva Deshpande’s book ‘Halla Bol’, based on playwright Safdar Hashmi, and a performance by ‘Jana Natya Manch’ scheduled for March 6.In the last 2 months, TISS administration has disallowed or put on hold more than 10 events organised by students on the campus. It has claimed that the permissions have been denied as the institute was not keen on speakers from outside the campus and maintained a new policy to this effect would be formalised by authorities.“3 interventions are going on in the campus — placements, M Phil scholars thesis submission and synopsis presentation of the second-year students, and examination. At this juncture, what becomes priority? Should we hear the voices of the 10-12 students, who want to organise programmes, or should we hear the voices of the general body of students who are here to study?” dean of student affairs, Asha Banu, said. Students, however, have claimed that the denial of permissions for such events “is being done to stifle free speech”. They have also alleged that denying space to academics, who come from outside, is a deviation from the institute’s academic ethos where debates and discussions were encouraged. Meanwhile, Bal Rakshase, president of TISS Teachers’ Association, Wednesday, said, “We believe that everyone should have right to organise academic discourses unless it is religious in nature. We have formulated resolutions on the same and we will be sending it to director.”In the last few months, a string of protests against the violence on Jamia Milia Islamia and JNU campuses in Delhi and against CAA, NRC and NPR were cancelled by TISS administration. Permission was also denied to at least 3 pro-CAA events organised by the Democratic Secular Students Forum, a students’ group. indianexpress

Anti-CAA protests: In Bihar's Aurangabad, police file chargesheet against 'rioters', drop 5 names due to lack of evidence

Aurangabad Police in the state of Bihar have filed a chargesheet against alleged rioters for turning peaceful protests violent by indulging in stone-pelting. Of 46 arrested on the day the unrest broke out in Aurangabad, the police have not found any evidence against five, said Meraj Khan, lawyer representing the accused. Firstpost had reported how there were several contradictions between claims made in the FIR and the police diary.5 people include two men and three women. Shams Waris, one of the 2 men, was actually inside a court securing his bail in another case when the rioting transpired. The second man, Shahbaz Nawab, a local trader at a jewellery store, was arrested from a terrace along with five other "culprits", according to FIR.But police diary, which contradicts the police FIR, claimed that rioters had began pelting stones in his lane when Shahbaz was trying to get home. To avoid the police, he ran towards the rioters, where he fell and injured himself. The diary, in fact, quoted an eyewitness and said that Shahbaz took a few blows from the stone pelting.
'Ambedkarite Parties Must Oppose CAA': Thol Thirumavalavan Speaks to The Wire
https://thewire.in/politics/thol-thirumavalavan-interview-caa
Thol Thirumavalavan’s is one of the less polarising voices in the Tamil political milieu.A leader of strong ideological standing, Thirumavalavan did his PhD last year on mass religious conversions of Meenakshipuram near Tiruneveli – an event that led to huge controversy in 1981.A vehement critic of Hindutva politics, Thirumavalavan has left no stone unturned in opposing CAA, NPR and NRC. Early this year, he joined the Kolam protest by drawing one, after a few activists were detained for putting anti-CAA kolams. In a culture that sees kolam as ‘feminine’, Thirumavalavan’s act of drawing one was not only seen as a protest against CAA but an attempt to break the stereotype. His Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) – an Ambedkarite party in Tamil Nadu – had held a massive rally at Tiruchy on Feb.22. A week later, party followed it up with a demonstration to protest againstDelhi riots.thewire

Thousands protest in Bangladesh with demand to cancel Indian PM upcoming visit
https://www.aa.com.tr/en/asia-pacific/bangladeshis-protest-upcoming-visit-by-indian-premier/1757068
Dhaka:Large numbers of protesters in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka gathered after weekly Friday prayers demanding the cancellation of an upcoming visit by India's premier.Accusing India's Narendra Modi of "killing Muslims" and "patronizing communal violence" in his country, the demonstrators demanded their govt cancel an earlier invitation to Modi for an official visit." Bangladesh has been holding the spirit of communal harmony for generations after generations. The founding leader of the ruling Awami League party Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was also struggled for establishing communal harmony in this country. So we cannot accept any extreme communal leader like Modi in our country," said Nur Hossain Kasemi, one of the organizers of the protest, addressing the rally.Protesters chanted slogans against Modi and communal riots in the Indian capital New Delhi, saying Modi "has no place in Bangladesh." They also held banners and placards, with some condemning "killings of Muslims" in Delhi, while others read: "We want punishment of killer Modi," "Killer Modi has no place on the soil of Bangladesh."Just after the prayer, demonstrators from multiple mosques flocked to the street, with security forces standing guard as the procession paraded through the city.Leaders of the platform also urged international organizations including UN and OIC to take action against India for allegedly killing Muslims residents in the capital New Delhi and other parts of the country protesting a controversial new citizenship law.Modi is scheduled to visit Dhaka to join 100th birth anniversary of Bangladesh's founding leader Mujibur Rahman on March 17 in Dhaka as a chief guest.

New Delhi: News Broadcasters Association has said it was "shocked" that the decision to ban two Malayalam news channels was taken "without the knowledge" of Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar, and demanded an inquiry into how this happened.In a statement, NBA president Rajat Sharma said it condemned the decision of Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to impose 48-hour ban on Asianet News and Media One News, 2 news channels based in Kerala.Sharma said NBA appreciated the concern shown by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this matter and the subsequent withdrawal of the ban imposed on the 2 news channels.He stated NBA was "shocked to learn that a decision like this was taken without the knowledge of Minister for Information & Broadcasting". "NBA demands that the Minister should institute an inquiry as to how the order prohibiting the news channels from broadcasting was issued without his approval," the statement issued late on Saturday said."NBA would like the inquiry report to be shared with it."NBA is of the view that all complaints relating to broadcast of news should be referred to News Broadcasting Standards Authority (NBSA)--self-regulatory body headed by former Supreme Court Judge (retd) AK Sikri -- in order to avoid recurrence of similar incidents in future, it said.PTI

Govt made infringement into the freedom of the press by suspending two news channels for 48 hours, says C L Thomas, Editor-in-Chief of Malayalam channel Media One TV. The channel was banned by I&B ministry on Friday citing ‘biased reporting’ of the Delhi riots. However, the ministry lifted the ban on Saturday and I&B minister Prakash Javedakar assured that the government stands for media freedom. Speaking to Outlook's Preetha Nair from Calicut over phone, Thomas said that the channel won’t bow to any pressure and will continue with fair and objective reporting. Thomas said, "I believe the ministry had to lift the ban after widespread protests from media and various political parties. By banning the channels, the government has sent across a strong message: ‘if you work against our interest, we will silence you’. The suspension of the Malayalam channels was a flagrant assault on press freedom by the state. Freedom of expression is a guaranteed fundamental right in our Constitution. We consider freedom of the press as a part of freedom of expression."outlookindia
In Backing Kapil Mishra, RSS Shows Riot Hand
https://thewire.in/communalism/kapil-mishra-rss-interview-delhi-riots
New Delhi: Although RSS and BJP function more like conjoined twins, both have taken great efforts to be seen as independent of each other. Time and again, RSS has said that its role in society is purely “Manushya Nirman”, and that it has neither any intention nor the drive to become politically active.However, days after the national capital was left torn by one of the worst communal riots in India, it appears that the two have dropped this pretence.At a time when the role of BJP leader Kapil Mishra has been universally panned for fomenting communal clashes in Delhi, RSS’s mouthpiece has mounted a defence for him. Organiser published a long interview with the controversial leader who blames everyone for the riots except himself. According to him, his incendiary speech – in which he openly threatened to disobey Delhi police and forcefully evict anti-CAA protesters – did not trigger the riots. Rather, the “tukde-tukde gang”, those who are “upset about the hanging of Afzal Guru”, which incidentally happened in Feb.2013, and those who “want to separate the Northeast from the rest of Bharat” are responsible for the riots.As bizarre as it may sound at a time when large sections of political leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and national security advisor Ajit Doval, have appealed for peace and harmony among communities, Mishra’s responses to Organiser, in fact, fuel greater communal anger. thewire
Violence that killed 53 in Indian capital ‘was anti-Muslim pogrom’, says top expert: Independent UK

Religious violence in Delhi that overshadowed Donald Trump’s visit to India last month “qualifies as a pogrom” against Muslims and should be described as such, according to a leading academic and one of the country’s top lawyers.The fallout from the 3 days of bloodshed in Delhi, which began 2 weeks ago on Sunday and ended in the deaths of at least 53 people, is still being fiercely contested, with police facing intense criticism for their perceived failure to step in and quash the unrest sooner.There are mounting calls for the arrest of key members of the country’s ruling BJP party, accused of inciting Hindu mobs to mobilise in the capital and target mosques, Muslims and Muslim-owned homes and businesses in a trail of destruction.

New Dehi: The violence in northeast Delhi last week will remain etched in the memory of locals for a long time. But they will also remember stories of courage, survival and brotherhood that emerged at the difficult time and inspired neighbourhoods.In Gokulpuri,a 53-year-old man, Mohinder Singh, along with his 28-year-old son Inderjeet saved over 60 lives. They helped several Muslim families, who were being attacked by mobs, reach safer places. "In 1984, I was around 16 and the horrific memories are still fresh. When violence spiraled here, it reminded me of the riots 3 decades back. It reminded me the importance of human lives," Mohinder Singh said. On Feb.24, Mohinder Singh was at his shop near his home when a mob barged into neighbourhood. Mohinder, along with his son Inderjeet, decided to take out their two wheelers - a scooty and a bike. They ferried least 60 people stuck in the nearby area of Kardampuri, about 1.5 kilometre away."Muslims gathered and decided that they would have to leave neighbourhood. But they were caught in mobs. I could not bear to see the fear on the faces of innocent children," recalled Mohinder Singh.Inderjeet's neighbour - 30-year-old Mohammad Naeem - is among those those who he helped with his father.Naeem's house was looted, set on fire. His shop was vandalised. Recalling the horror of mob attack, Naeem said: "It was a mob of at least 1,000 people who attacked our house and shop. They were raising slogans and many of them even had swords. All the jewellery in the house was also robbed."ndtv

They have lost all their belongings, and their homes. Some of them have lost their loved ones too. Their minds are replete with first-hand accounts of the violence that they saw.I saw men running towards our house, pelting stones at everything that came in their way. They had also started setting cars on fire,”said Ahmed*.Ahmed* and his family lived in Shiv Vihar, one of the worst-affected areas in North-east Delhi.

New Delhi:Some private diagnostic centres here have been accused of refusing to do an MRI scan on a Muslim patient who was taken there with a gunshot injury — by arguing that these facilities do not accept patients with medico-legal history. Mohammad Sameer, 15, was injured in firing during the anti-Muslim mob violence in the last week of February in a north- eastern locality here.  Sameer was initially admitted to Guru Tej Bahadur Hospital but due to lack of an MRI scanner there, the doctors referred the injured to another facility.

That nationalism is killing country’s remaining people,” Raut wrote.He added that innocent children of warring communities were orphaned in the riots.

What does it take to rebuild your life when all you had is taken away?Ask those living in a tent at a relief camp set up by the Delhi government for families affected by the recent riots in Delhi, who are coming to terms with their homes and lives being flattened.Until last week, most of these families had a house, a bed, a fridge, a television set, a gas cylinder, clothes and other domestic paraphernalia — all of which has now been taken away by mobs that ransacked their house, picking off every little thing they found lying about. When they could not find anything, they set the houses on fire before moving on to another house — to steal, rob or set it on fire.Sitting inside a makeshift tent, 22-year-old Mohammed Shahrukh a carpenter by profession, says he does not know how he is going to start his life again. The rains on Thursday and Friday took away even the privilege of a dry mattress inside the tent for him to sit on.“The mobs even stole my two gas cylinders, and all my utensils. They took all of my children’s clothes. They are now left with only one pair of clothes. How do we start again,” wonders Shahrukh.In north-east Delhi’s Brijpuri, about a hundred Muslim families live in makeshift tents set up by the state government. Most families here are from Chand Bagh — one of the areas hit hardest during the riots. In the violence between Hindus and Muslims, at least 53 have died so far, while over 400 sustained injuries. hindustantimes

35 yrs after Delhi blasts, 30 acquitted: Court says probe defective, lopsided
https://indianexpress.com/article/india/delhi-1985-bomb-blasts-probe-defective-6304591/
A Delhi court has acquitted 30 of 59 accused in the transistor bomb blasts of 1985, saying the “investigation conducted in these cases was defective, lopsided, unfair and suffered from various lacunae”.On the evening of May 10, 1985, bombs fitted in transistors went off in buses and other places in Delhi and adjoining areas of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, killing 49 people and injuring 127 in Delhi alone. A SIT, under the supervision of then DCP (Central) of Delhi Police,had chargesheeted 59 accused. While 5 of 59 are proclaimed offenders and never appeared for trial, the trial court in July 2006 discharged 5 due to “insufficient evidence”. In his order on March 5, Additional Sessions Judge Sandeep Yadav said, “It is clear that none of the circumstances from which the inference of guilt of the accused was sought to be drawn by the prosecution was proved by cogent and reliable evidence. There are vital links missing in the chain of circumstances and it could not be proved conclusively that the crime was committed by the accused persons and none else”. Jagjit Singh who turned approver deposed before the Court the manner in which he was tortured and made to sign documents and statements under fear of his life and that of his daughters.”“It is prosecution’s version that accused persons had hatched a conspiracy to create disharmony amongst various communities to take revenge (for) Blue Star Operation and riots that happened in Nov.1984. However, prosecution miserably failed to prove that any relatives, friends, near and dears of accused persons died in 1984 riots or in Blue Star Operation,”Judge Yadav said. indianexpress

https://thewire.in/government/cbi-rakesh-asthana-clean-chit-2
New Delhi:The controversial corruption case against former CBI special director Rakesh Asthana and DSP Devender Kumar came to an abrupt end on Saturday, when a court exonerated Asthana of all charges.“There is no sufficient ground to proceed against Rakesh Asthana and DSP Devender Kumar. We will see if anything comes in future investigation being conducted by CBI,” Special Judge Sanjeev Aggarwal said while taking cognisance of CBI chargesheet.Then CBI director Alok Verma in Oct.2018 had taken an unprecedented step to file an FIR against his deputy, Asthana, for allegedly accepting bribes amounting to Rs 2 crore from a Hyderabad-based businessman, Moin Qureshi, to settle a money laundering case against him. Asthana and Kumar were made the primary accused in the case. The episode unfolded amidst bitter infighting in the top investigative agency, with Asthana too pressing charges of misconduct, interference in investigation and corruption against Verma and CBI joint director A.K.

Saudi crackdown widens amid reports of further arrests of royals
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/saudi-crackdown-widens-reports-arrests-royals-200308102158401.html
A roundup of royals and aides has widened in Saudi Arabia, according to several reports, in what is believed to be the latest crackdown by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), kingdom's de facto ruler, against potential challengers to his power.On Saturday, a day after it was reported that two senior members of the royal family were detained over an alleged coup plot, US media outlets said Prince Nayef bin Ahmed, a former army head of intelligence, was also among those being held.Separately, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that the sweep broadened to include dozens of interior ministry officials, senior army officers and others suspected of supporting a coup attempt.It came a day after the Journal cited sources familiar with the matter as saying that masked guards with the royal court on Friday arrested Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz, a younger brother of King Salman, and Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the king's nephew and a former crown prince. The guards also detained a brother of Mohammed bin Nayef.There has been no official comment from Saudi authorities on the arrests. "There are some kinds of rumours and innuendos that there's turmoil within the family in the form of criticism, but that doesn't justify being arrested as criminals, with masked security forces coming to their rooms and yanking them out of their private residences," Khalil Jahshan, executive director of Arab Center in Washington, DC, said.aljazeera
