Kerala CPI(M) reaching out to IUML. Tharoor, Vijayan’s son-in-law have a lot to do with it Less than two years into Pinarayi Vijayan’s second term, the Communist Party of India-Marxist, finds itself back on the drawing board, formulating plans to extend its stint in power well beyond 2026. But with Vijayan’s diminishing stature and health impediments, it has to think out of the box to chart a way forward. And it is precisely in this context that CPI (M) state secretary M.V. Govindan’s comments, certifying the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) as a secular party, assume significance. When Vijayan assumed office as chief minister in the summer of 2016, it was long overdue for the Left ecosystem in Kerala. Within a month of the swearing-in, the late Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, then state secretary of the CPI(M), wrote in the party organ Deshabhimani how the Left Democratic Front (LDF) needed to expand its base to ensure a second term. By 2021, when Vijayan sought re-election, LDF had new allies, such as the Loktantrik Janata Dal (LJD) and Kerala Congress (Mani), coming at the expense of Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF). Now, IUML is no pariah to CPI (M), having shared power in the past. But ever since CPI(M) famously ousted Kannur strongman M.V. Raghavan in 1986 for his ‘alternate document’ advocating an alliance with parties such as IUML and the Church-backed Kerala Congress factions, it has blown hot and cold on the issue. Perhaps it is no coincidence that CPI (M)’s courting of IUML comes with M.V. Raghavan’s protégés Vijayan and Govindan helming the Marxist party today. IUML has been Congress’ most valuable ally in UDF for over five decades. Even in 1992-93, post the razing of the Babri Masjid, IUML stayed put in UDF, despite then IUML president Ebrahim Sulaiman Sait rebelling and forming a splinter outfit. Notwithstanding its historical linkages to Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s All-India Muslim League (AIML) and having endured Jawaharlal Nehru’s “dead horse” jibe, IUML has only grown in stature—especially with its timely intervention in maintaining peace in the Malabar - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara region after Babri Masjid.

Bihar hooch tragedy: ‘Not a single penny would be given to victims’ families,’ says CM Nitish Kumar Agency News: Patna Amid high power drama over the deaths due to spurious liquor, CM announces that ‘Not a single penny would be given to the victims of the deceased in hooch tragedy.’ While the death toll rises to 60, which was earlier reported as 50 on Friday morning. A rapid surge in the death toll of victims dying after drinking spurious liquor is seen after the incident took place on Wednesday. While addressing the Bihar assembly, CM Nitish Kumar gave this blunt clarification about not compensating for the deaths due to spurious liquor. He said that if they drink liquor they’ll die. Hence government won’t give any money to their families. After Bihar’s hooch tragedy toll climbed to 39, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday warned
that if people drink spurious liquor, they will die. The chief minister’s blunt comments came as his policy of prohibition came under attack from many quarters including from his former political strategist turned activist Prashant Kishor, who demanded scrapping of the prohibition law. “Jo piyega woh marega”, thundered Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as he stood his ground maintaining that prohibition was “not my personal wish but a response to the cries of the women of the state”.

Not correct to strike down NJAC: Kiren Rijiju Agency News: New Delhi Law minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday regretted the government’s lack of say in the appointments of high court and Supreme Court judges, harping on an issue that has in recent weeks witnessed a bout of sparring with the top court. But the minister, who was speaking in the Rajya Sabha, sidestepped a question on whether the Centre planned to enact a law giving itself a role in the judicial appointment process. Rijiju said the
government had received comments from many people, including former judges, legal luminaries and political leaders, disapproving of the Supreme Court’s 2015 judgment striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) Act that gave the government a bigger say in judges’ appointments. “The government has very limited power in the appointment of judges. The government has no power to search for any new name apart from what the collegium has recommended,” Rijiju said.

Rakul Preet Singh summoned by ED over drugs-related money laundering case Agency News: New Delhi
Tollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh, who made her Bollywood debut in 2014, is once again under the radar of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Telugu film industry drugs and money laundering case.

death. She was summoned due to her conversations with Rhea Chakraborty. According to a report in Pinkvilla, Rakul confirmed chatting with Rhea and said drugs were meant for Rhea. She has also denied consuming drugs ever in her life. Earlier, the ED had summoned a number of other Tollywood celebrities in relation to the infamous racket of supplying drugs like LSD and MDMA that Telangana’s Prohibition and Excise department had uncovered.
Setting the records straight, Karnataka Congress President D.K. Shivakumar on Friday said that in no way did he defend the November 19 Mangaluru cooker blast case. Speaking to reporters Shivakumar maintained that, “I only said BJP is diverting people’s attention by using such incidents. It has used this issue to hush up the voter ID scam and corruption. I did not say that investigation should not be carried out in the explosion case.” “Our leaders have become victims of terrorism. We stand for the integration, peace and unity of this country. We do not defend terrorism,” Shivakumar explained. Commenting on the Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s remark that Congress has a pro-terrorism stand, he said, the statement has been issued with an intention to be in the market. “I have only spoken about the betrayal to the state with their corruption and ways of hushing it up,” he added. Shivakumar had stirred a controversy by stating that the Mangaluru blast incident was carried out by ruling BJP to divert the attention of people from the voter ID scam.
On Thursday, he had asked that without investigation, how was the suspect Mohammad Shariq arrested in connection with blast could be declared a terrorist? Was it an incident like 26/11 Mumbai terror attack? Was it an incident like Pulwama terror attack? How was the whole incident projected by the ruling BJP? When the voter ID scam came to light in Karnataka, immediately after the Mangaluru cooker blast incident took place. Why? From where did the accused come? Shivakumar questioned. “You are trying to highlight emotional issues in life and trying to make a livelihood out of it. In your (BJP) tenure not a single recognizable work has been carried out. Simply you indulged in deviation,” he said. The DG visits hurriedly and declares it a terror act. What are you trying to do? This is an attempt of deviation. Do you think people are dumb? Shivakumar had stated.
“There will be no benches available from tomorrow till January 1,” Justice Chandrachud informed the lawyers present in the courtroom at the outset. Agency News: New Delhi
Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Friday said no Supreme Court bench will be available from December 17 till January 1 during the ensuing winter vacations. The CJI’s announcement made in the apex court assumes significance in the wake of Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju’s statement in Rajya Sabha on Thursday in which he said there was a feeling among the people that long court vacations were not very convenient for justice seekers. “There will be no benches available from tomorrow till January 1,” Justice Chandrachud informed the lawyers present in the courtroom at the outset. Friday is the last working day of
the top court before it goes on a two-week winter break. The apex court will reopen on January 2. The issue regarding court vacations has been raised earlier also but judges, including former CJI N V Ramana, had said there is a misconception that judges stay in ultimate comfort and enjoy their holidays. Delivering the inaugural Justice SB Sinha Memorial Lecture on ‘Life of a Judge’ in Ranchi in July, the then CJI Ramana had said judges spend sleepless nights rethinking their decisions. “There exists a misconception in the minds of the people that judges stay in ultimate comfort, work only from 10 am to 4 pm and enjoy their holidays. Such a narrative is untrue… when false narratives are created about the supposed easy life led by judges, it is difficult to swallow,” he had said. Justice Ramana had said the responsibility of judging is extremely burdensome owing to the human implication of the rulings.

The yatra will enter Delhi on December 24, and after a break of about eight days, move on to Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and finally, Jammu and Kashmir. It has seen participation from a crosssection of society.

I have many sung many songs for Deepika but some have been of romance, some have been of falling in love, some have been of finding your true self, but this one is very different. This one is where she is confident in her own skin, she’s like taking on the world as brilliant as she is and she is in fact embracing her good and the flaws that she has.” She adds, “Deepika is saying that this is what I have to offer to the
whole world and I think that is what I love about the song. Many women across the world need to feel really confident in their skin, no matter where we come from.

To convince him, Ashok threatens Babuji that he will file a complaint for child labour against him. He agrees to send him to school but tells Krishna that he will have to do housework. When Yashoda comes to school for Krishna’s admission, they inform her that the admission form does not have his father’s name on it, so they will not accept Krishna. Yashoda informs Ashok about the case, who
then reaches there and tells everyone that he will write his name on the form as Krishna father, shocking Yashoda.” About &TV’s Happu Ki Ultan Paltan track, Katori Amma shares, “Rajesh (Kamna Pathak) and Katori Amma (Himani Shivpuri) get into an argument over different dals they have cooked for Happu (Yogesh Tripathi).

During the rehearsal, they ask for Rajesh and Katori Amma help.
