Karnataka: Hindu outfits oppose Allahabad HC Orders Disciplinary paint on walls of railway station, Action Against Cop Who Gave Clean Chit to Minor Girl’s Rape Accused say ‘use anything but green’ Agency News: Kalaburagi
Agency News: New Delhi
Hindu organisations on Tuesday opposed the green paint on the walls of the Kalaburagi railway station and gave a deadline to the authorities to remove it. The organisations have warned that if the green colour was not removed within 15 days, the total railway station would be painted in saffron colour. The authorities have taken up the painting work of the front portion of the railway station. Currently, two walls of the railway station have been painted in green colour. Hindu Jagaran Vedike activists staged a protest in the premises
The Allahabad High Court recently directed the Director General of Police, Uttar Pradesh, to initiate disciplinary proceeding against a police officer for a major penalty for dereliction of duty and exceeding his powers as Investigation Officer in the rape case of a minor girl. The bench of Justice Suneet Kumar and Justice Syed Waiz Mian observed that despite the victim’s statement recorded under 164 CrPC where she had clearly implicated the two persons, the police officer deliberately and wilfully tried to ensure that those accused persons were discharged during the investigation. The court held that the victim’s statement recorded before the magistrate was sufficient, prima facie, to show the complicity of the accused, however, the police officer set it at naught on the strength of the statements of her parents, landlord and other persons recorded under Section 161 CrPC. “The statement of all other witnesses are merely corroborative
of the railway station and raised slogans against the authorities. They maintained that this was being done to appease the minority community. Lakshmikantha Sadhwi, a Hindu activist stated that the railway station “building must be painted with any colour other than green. The yellow and red colours of the Kannada flag could also be used. Otherwise, the railway building will be painted with saffron colour”.

Delhi govt to provide 450 types of medical tests free of cost from Jan 1 Agency News: New Delhi The Aam Aadmi Party government will provide 450 types of medical tests free of cost at its hospitals and health centres from January 1, with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal saying the move will help those unable to afford private healthcare. The number of medical tests provided free of cost by the city government at present is 212, officials said. Chief Minister Kejriwal has given nod to a health department proposal for making 238 more tests free of cost at hospitals and Mohalla Clinics, they said. Kejriwal said providing good quality health

The girl alleged that the police officer had colluded with the accused and had deliberately discharged them during the investigation but is not sufficient to dislodge the statement of the victim. The fourth respondent has thrown the Indian Evidence Act to the wind by himself arriving at a conclusion that the statement of the victim is per se false,” the court observed. It also said the police officer not only adorned upon himself the role of an investigating officer but also of a court. Therefore, taking note of the difficulties that the victim had to face due to the police officer’s act, the court held that he exposed himself for civil and criminal consequence and was liable to be dealt with accordingly.

India on Tuesday strongly condemned the visit of the secretary general of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and for his comments on Jammu and Kashmir, asserting that the grouping has no locus standi in matters related to the region.

2 ‘2025 Bihar Polls to Be Fought Congress MLA in Bihar Re- Will Make State’s Stand on Editorial mains Seated During National Border Row Clear During SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Under Tejashwi Yadav’: Nitish Anthem; BJP Sees Red Theatre commands to defence university, why Kumar’s Big Statement CMs Meeting: Bommai Indian security interests need a political push
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s clarion call for Atmanirbhar Bharat in May 2020 made self-reliance a policy goal for the Ministry of Defence. Despite decades of effort, India’s defence industrial ecosystem has failed to achieve substantive progress and indigenous research, development and production capabilities remain a challenge. Time will reveal whether the slogan has been matched by accomplishment. However, even if Atmanirbhartha is accomplished to any acceptable degree, India’s military effectiveness will require the fulfilment of two other crucial reform initiatives – defence university and theatre commands. Both reforms have the potential to provide massive doses of energy to advance India’s military effectiveness through the improvement of leadership and achieving jointness among the three Services through organisational restructuring. These initiatives lie primarily within the defence ministry ambit and yet they do not seem to attract the urgency they demand. Perhaps in many ways, they are being sidelined in terms of focus on Atmanirbhartha, which, in comparative terms, would remain a perpetual and long-term quest. Both the reforms eventually relate to what really matters in terms of achieving military effectiveness: Prudence in development, and the application and conversion of military capabilities toward the realisation of India’s political goals. In 1967, the Chiefs of Staff Committee first mooted the need to establish a defence university in India. Post the Kargil conflict in 1999, the report of the Group of Ministers (GOM) on National Security recommended its establishment. The recommendation was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Security in 2002. Several Committees and studies followed, but IDU appears stillborn. In 2013, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh laid the foundation stone for the Indian National Defence University (INDU) at Binola, in Gurugram. In 2016, a draft INDU Bill was put online for public consultation and revised in 2017. Thereafter, the bill moved between PMO (Cabinet Secretariat), MoD and the armed forces. One of the main sticking points has been disagreement on eligibility criteria for the university’s - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara president and vice president.

Agency News: New Delhi
Agency News: New Delhi Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday made a big revelation in context of the 2025 state assembly elections, and said they will be fought under the leadership of his deputy and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. The Bihar government is a joint coalition between Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal (United) and Tejashwi Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Kumar who was pitted as PM-face for 2024 by JDU, no longer wishes for the post, he said on Tuesday. “I am not a prime ministerial candidate but we all want BJP to be out of power,” he said. , Nitish Kumar has often given rise to speculations that in the event of moving to Delhi for dabbling in national politics, he might pass on the mantle to Tejashwi, the son of RJD president Lalu Prasad, who was once his arch-rival. At the inauguration of a dental
college and hospital in Nalanda on Monday, Nitish Kumar was heard saying, “We have to back Tejashwi ji and take our work forward,” The JD(U) leader has become a strong votary of a “united” anti-BJP front since snapping ties with the saffron party in August this year. Earlier, Kumar had recounted his reluctance to run for another term in office but agreeing to do the same upon the BJP’s insistence. “They (BJP) should be reminded that never before had our party won fewer seats, either in assembly polls of 2005 or 2010. In 2020, we suffered as they tried to ensure the defeat of our candidates,” said the JD(U) de facto leader on Sunday.
Uddhav Sena Faction to Seek Adjudication of Cases by 7-judge Bench on Jan 10 Agency News: New Delhi The Supreme Court on Tuesday was apprised by the Uddhav Thackeray Shiv Sena faction that it will seek reference of cases related to the Maharashtra political crisis to a seven-judge bench to have a relook of a 2016 judgment on powers of assembly speakers to deal with disqualification pleas. In 2016, a five-judge constitution bench, while deciding the Nabam Rebia case, had held that the assembly speaker cannot proceed with a plea for disqualification of MLAs if a prior notice seeking removal of the speaker is pending decision in the House. This decision had come to the rescue of rebel MLAs led by Eknath Shinde, now the chief minister of Maharashtra, in the apex court on the ground of pendency of a notice for removal of assembly deputy speaker Narhari Sitaram Zariwal. A fivejudge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, while hearing a batch of pleas related to the Maharashtra political crisis triggered by the Shiv Sena’s
division, was told by senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the Thackeray faction, that he will be seeking reference of matters to a seven-judge bench to have a relook of the 2016 judgment in the Nabam Rebia case. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Maharashtra governor, said he would also like to submit a note on broader issues including the pre-poll alliance. Earlier this year, the Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in the state that comprised the Shiv Sena, the NCP and the Congress collapsed after Sena MLA Shinde and 39 other legislators rebelled against the party’s leadership. This later led to the division in the Shiv Sena with one faction headed by Thackeray and the other by Shinde.

The opposition also said there need not be different chancellors for each of the universities and the selection panel should comprise the Chief Minister, Leader of Opposition (LoP) and the Kerala High Court Chief Justice. The UDF said one Chancellor for all universities was sufficient as day-to-day activities would be handled by the respective Vice Chancellors.

World Cup: In dream chase, Luka Modric in Lionel Messi’s path Agency News : Doha
The song goes like this... “In Argentina I was born, in the land of Diego and Lionel, and I will never forget, the lads of Las Malvinas. I can’t explain it to you, because you just won’t understand, how many years I mourned, for the finals that we lost.” It’s been over 36 years since Diego Maradona lifted the World Cup for Argentina at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. With every subsequent World Cup failure, the craving has just intensified. The failures, however, never deterred Argentine fans from travelling with the team, cheering them on, living the dream of Lionel Messi of a hand on the cherished trophy. Here in Doha too, they are in huge numbers. Singing, dancing,
chanting. The beat of the drums greets every goal, every move is cheered. Yes, Argentina ended their 28-year wait for a major trophy with the Copa America triumph last year beating Brazil, but the World Cup is the one the players, the country desperately want. A finalist in 2014, they are now just two wins away from doing what Maradona and his men achieved in 1986. “We have been saying this from the beginning: Diego is pushing us from heaven,” Lionel Messi said after the nervewracking penalty win against the Netherlands in the quarter-final. Two wins may seem like no big deal but it’s easier said than done. On Tuesday they face a team that packed off Brazil on Saturday and to whom Argentina lost 3-0 in Russia 2018.

England’s ultra-aggressive approach in Test cricket has been the talking point and KL Rahul is no exception. India’s stand-in captain — regular captain Rohit Sharma will miss the first Test against Bangladesh beginning Wednesday because of a dislocated left thumb — has been impressed with Bazball’s style of play and has promised positive cricket in the forthcoming series, which begins in Chittagoing. “We won’t go in with any set mindset... At least for us we will go there and try to be aggressive and brave, try and get a result. “The game is played over five days so it is important to break it down to smaller targets.

India will be the first country to auction spectrum for satellite communication, and it should be designed to attract investments in the sector, telecom regulator Trai chairman PD Vaghela said on Tuesday. Speaking at a Broadband India Forum summit on SatCom, Vaghela said the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) will soon make recommendations to make permissions required for satellite communication from various ministries -- Information and Broadcasting, Space and Telecom -- seamless to enhance ease of doing business in the sector.

Rahul doesn’t think English style of batsmanship characterises “recklessness”. “As cricketers, I don’t think it is reckless cricket. They have certain mindset, they thought about it, they back their players and the players are doing the job for the team, so it doesn’t matter how you have done it. “Cricket is changing, there is no set way of how this game needs to be played,” the opener said.
spectrum required to be put to auction and associated aspects of satellite-based communication. “I think India will be the first to handle the issue of auctioning the space base spectrum. We are working on it,” Vaghela said. Trai will be coming out with some sort of model for the auction of space spectrum, he added. “But it should not kill the sector. That is very important. Any system that we will be bringing is to actually encourage and promote investment in the sector, and not increase any burden. I mean, that is the biggest challenge which we have, and we are conscious of that fact,” Vaghela said. Trai is yet to come up with a consultation paper on the spectrum auction as per the standard process meant for satellite communication.

Over 3500 Indian firms Forensic audit at Kirloskar Juergen Klinsmann slams have Chinese directors Brothers blocked Rao Inderjit Singh Brazil tactics Ordinary resolution Agency News : Al Rayyan
Brazil’s quarter-final defeat on penalties came as a huge shock after the tournament favourites were knocked out by Croatia but the South American side lost because their best shooters did not step up first in the shootout, Juergen Klinsmann said on Monday. Croatia, the 2018 runnersup, stunned Brazil 4-2 on penalties after Marquinhos and Rodrygo failed to convert. Brazil’s joint alltime top scorer Neymar — who was fifth in line in the shootout — did not even get the opportunity to take his penalty after his teammates missed. “We were freaking out, it
was real drama. We tried to discuss the difference between the drama from the Brazil game compared to the Argentina versus Netherlands game and we came up with some ideas,” Klinsmann said at a Technical Study Group briefing. “After conceding the equaliser in the 117th minute, Brazil had no time to switch gears. From the disappointment of conceding a lastminute goal to the penalty shootout, there was no time to settle and approach the shootout positively. “For Brazil, they should have maybe put their best shooter first, set the tone with the best penalty taker you have and then go down the rankings.”

Agency News : New York The Golden Globes geared up Monday for its return by showering nominations on the black comedy The Banshees of Inisherin and the multiverse mash-up Everything Everywhere all at Once.
