editor November 24, 2023Leave a comment

NEW DELHI, Nov 24: The Supreme Court has ruled that while the unelected Head of State is vested with constitutional powers, those powers cannot be used to obstruct state legislatures' normal legislative process. Specifically, the court stressed that governors cannot be allowed to hold bills for an indefinite period of time without taking any action. A bench made up of Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud, Justice J B Pardiwala, and Justice Manoj Misra noted that unrestricted discretion granted to the Governor would "virtually veto the functioning of the legislative domain by a duly elected legislature" and that such a course of action would be contrary to fundamental principles of a constitutional democracy based on a Parliamentary pattern of governance. “The Governor, as an unelected Head of the State, is entrusted with certain constitutional powers.

Srinagar, Nov 23: Leaders and members of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) protested against the electricity crisis in Kashmir on Thursday outside the party office, according to officials. Leading the PDP workers were Asiea Naqash, Abdul Qayoom Bhat, and Arif Laigroo. They attempted to protest the valley's lack of electricity at the start of the long winter season by marching from the PDP office near Sher-e-Kashmir Park here to Lal Chowk. Still, a posse of police officers stopped the demonstrators from marching past the nearby General Post Office (GPO) with signs and posters calling for an end to power outages. "Today's protest by PDP leaders and workers from Srinagar awoke the administration from a deep sleep." The escalating power crisis has brought darkness to Kashmir, according to PDP spokesman Mohit Bhan. "The J-K administration's incompetence is evident, and the residents are going through unending hardships. The people in charge don't seem to be aware that basic needs have been compromised, Bhan continued. Police stopped Pradesh Congress Committee employees from leaving their party office when they attempted to stage a protest against the power outage at Maulana Azad Road here. One of the demonstrators remarked, "Even hospitals lack electricity while they (officials) are spending money on driving around the town."

BJP will form next Govt in Rajasthan: Shah

editor November 23, 2023Leave a comment

RAJASTHAN: On Thursday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared that the BJP would form the state's next government and that the Congress would lose in every area of Rajasthan. He claimed that the state's Congress government was engaging in appeasement politics and that this was deeply concerning to the populace. The senior BJP leader stated, "Appeasement politics is at its peak in the Gehlot government," during a press conference held here. Vote bank politics prevented the Rajasthani government from taking any action against the rioters. He questioned, "Ashok Gehlot does not have any guarantee of his own, what guarantee is he giving?" in response to the Rajasthan chief minister's seven promises. Shah cited the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya and the repeal of Article 370 as examples of how the BJP has a history of carrying out the most stringent resolutions. In response to the question of whether the chief minister of Rajasthan will be chosen by the MLAs, he stated that the MLAs would make that determination. Regarding Rahul Gandhi's 'panauti' jab at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah stated that derogatory language has been directed at the PM and that the electorate will react to it in the coming election.

BUDGAM: Omar Abdullah, vice president of the National Conference, stated on Wednesday that the four government employees who were fired in Jammu and Kashmir for the "interest of the security of the state" had the right to appeal. He also mentioned that the legal principle of innocence holds that an accused person is presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty. "The ability to appeal should be granted to fired employees. Everyone is entitled to an appeal and, according to the law, is innocent unless and until proven guilty." Speaking to reporters in Budgam, Abdullah stated. The "interest of the security of the state" led the Jammu and Kashmir administration to terminate the employment of four public servants, including a doctor.According to the order, it is not necessary to hold an inquiry in each of these cases for the sake of the state's security, according to the Commissioner/Secretary of the General Administration Department of the Government of Jammu and Kashmir. "Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha, after considering the facts and circumstances of these individual cases and on the basis of the information available, is satisfied that the activities of the following persons are such as to warrant their dismissal from their service," the order reads. The four government employees are Dr. Nissar-ul-Hassan, Assistant Professor (Medicine), SMHS Hospital, Srinagar; Abdul Majeed Bhat, a constable in the Jammu and Kashmir police; Farooq Ahmad Mir, a teacher in the Higher Education Department; and Abdul Salam Rather, a laboratory bearer in the Higher Education Department. The government has invoked 311 (2) (c) of the Indian Constitution to dismiss the four employees. The directive that was issued on November 21 will go into effect right away. The four government officers were fired in accordance with J-K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha's "zero tolerance against terrorism" policy.Three state workers were fired by the Jammu and Kashmir government in July for allegedly having ties to terrorist groups supported by Pakistan. The Union Territory administration has fired over 50 workers who were receiving government salaries but were purportedly supporting terrorist organisations with a base in Pakistan over the past three years by invoking 311 (2)(c) of the Constitution.
