death penalty for Malik while the court-appointed amicus curaie asked the court to instead award life imprisonment.On May 10, Malik had pleaded guilty to all charges, including those under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).

Altaf Fantoosh, Masrat, and Hurriyat/Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) were the direct recipients of terror funds. The court also noted that prima facie there existed a criminal conspiracy pursuant to which large-scale protests, resulting in violence and arson, were orchestrated in the Valley.

Agency News:New Delhi At least three suspected Pakistani terrorists were killed in an encounter between the militants and security personnel in Baramulla in North Kashmir on Wednesday.According to police, a personnel of the Jammu and Kashmir police was martyred in the operation.The development was confirmed
by Kashmir IGP Vijay Kumar. Incriminating material, including arms and ammunition, was recovered from the site, the police added.The encounter began on Wednesday morning at Najibhat crossing in Kreeri area of Baramulla.The Kashmir Zone police said that both police and the Army were on job at the encounter site. Further details are awaited.
Agency News:New Delhi The form and content of the two media statements, made seven years apart, bear striking resemblance, packed with references to “conscience”, “character” and “sacrifice”. They also invoke what remains the defining philosophy for AAP, at least in the image it courts: its anti-corruption character.On
October 9, 2015, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, bristling with indignation on live television, had sacked his Cabinet Minister Asim Ahmed Khan on charges of accepting bribe. “The media did not reveal this, no one did. We came to know about it and took a decision within 24 hours,” Kejriwal told a press conference then, releasing a minute-long.
Agency News:New Delhi Aiming to regain lost ground and rebuild its cadre base, the Haryana Congress received a shot in the arm at the start of the week when eight former MLAs and ministers joined it in the presence of Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda and state Congress president Uday Bhan.But with senior leaders such as Kuldeep
Bishnoi, Captain Ajay Yadav, and Kumari Selja said to be unhappy with the party since Hooda was given a free run following last month’s revamp of the state unit leadership, the party is hoping to address their concerns during a twoday “Chintan Shivir” set to be held in Chandigarh on May 31 and June 1. The Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) has been hamstrung
by a weak organisational structure — its local units have not been reformed in over six years — but ever since being trounced in the April-May 2019 Lok Sabha elections, when it lost all 10 seats, the party has been inducting rebel leaders from other parties. After Selja took charge of the HPCC that September, BJP leaders Pawan Beniwal, industrialist Ashok Goyal, and former MP.

Modi’s Sensitivity And The ‘Game’ Petroleum Companies Play Petroleum and natural gas minister Hardeep Singh Puri has attributed the excise cut inpetroleum products to Prime Minister Modi’s ‘considered and very well thought throughassessment that the burden on the common man, the Aam Aadmi, needed to be addressed.He was speaking to television channel in the wake of the latest announcement by financeminister Nirmala Sitharaman of a cut of Rs 8 in the excise duty on petrol and Rs 7 per litre ofdiesel. Puri further praised the prime minister saying he was very sensitive. Puri was not just echoing the sentiments of a ‘bhakt’. Modi himself seems to have beenmuch in agreement. “It is always people first for us! Today’s decisions, especially the onerelating to a significant drop in petrol and diesel prices will positively impact various sectors,provide relief to our citizens and further ‘Ease of Living’,” the prime minister said in his tweetafter Nirmala Sitharaman announced the excise cut.There is nothing wrong with both remarks. If the decision is attributable to Modi’s ‘sensitivity’,the corollary is that the prime minister can be accused of insensitivity when he preferred tolook the other way when there were so many burning issues – whether it was the suffering ofmillions of migrant labourers during their trek back home after the ill-timed lockdown, or theturmoil in the wake of the vexing farmers agitation or even the destruction of the economy asa result of the misadventure of demonetisation. It was the efforts of the judiciary, though after a period of initial reluctance, that retrieved thesituation to some extent, whether it was the great reverse migration, or the fight againstcovid and the world’s biggest vaccination drive that prevented even a greater pandemictragedy. Now getting back to Puri and his faux pas. He described the oil companies as ‘responsiblecitizens’ and responsible entities in controlling petrol and diesel prices. “They are very strongstakeholders in our system and clearly, they do their own decision making.” He went on topoint out that since over a month, oil marketing companies have not made any changes inpetrol and diesel prices even as the global crude oil prices have remained high andextremely volatile amid the ongoing geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine.Puri says it is not for him as the minister for petroleum and natural gas ‘to have to tell themwhat they can do and what they can’t do’. Fair enough. This brings into question the pricebehaviour of petroleum products ahead of crucial elections in the country, which has overtime fallen into a pattern. As soon as elections are announced, the petroleum companiesapply a freeze on their price hikes and the day the results are out, they resume the hikes.This has been happening consistently over many elections. If, as Puri suggests, the petroleum companies are volunteering to do the price cuts in time ofelections without a direction to the effect from the government, the companies must be heldresponsible for trying to influence the voting, not to mention in favour of the ruling party. Ifpetroleum companies can rig the elections, like Facebook and other social media platformshave been accused of doing in various countries, it is one of the biggest threats todemocracy.Facebook has been on the mat for helping to influence public opinion – from the 2016 Trumpcampaign and Brexit to helping influence elections in third world countries. Even Indianpolitical parties have faced criticism for engaging organizations like Cambridge Analytica totarget individuals and groups into moulding their attitude towards the party in question. Recent developments in Sri Lanka have shown how fuel prices and availability are critical insensitive situations. It was the fuel crisis that turned the scale finally against the Rajapaksas,though the Lankan situation owed much more to the faulty policies followed by successivegovernments which got the island nation into - Kapilkumar M.

A monsoon damper: Why delayed BMC polls could be bad news for Sena Besides the electoral impact of incidents of waterlogging and flooding, Sena has to handle difficult allies and combative rivals Agency News:New Delhi With the delayed Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections set to take place later this year, the Shiv Sena, which has had an uninterrupted over two-decade stint in the country’s richest
corporation, may have a problem on its hands. For one, the timing of the elections could go against the Sena that heads the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in the state. The elections, usually held in April-May, were delayed over the OBC reservation issue and are now scheduled to
take place after the monsoons, in September-October. With widespread incidents of flooding and water-logging, the BMC has been caught napping almost every year and this year isn’t likely to
be any different. Sena minister Aaditya Thackeray admitted as much when, after a meeting on the BMC’s monsoon preparation, he said, “If there is 200 mm rain in a single day, Mumbai is bound to face flash floods. You cannot stop nature’s fury.” Besides the impact that another round of floods may have on the Sena’s electoral prospects, the party will have to answer several uncomfortable questions in the coming months – whether it is the failure to restore OBC reservation as alleged by the Opposition or the poor condition of roads.
