JAMMU, Dec 14: Separatist leader Yasin Malik and his associate Rafiq Pahloo appeared before a special court here on Thursday in relation to the 1989 abduction of Rubaiya Sayeed via video conference. Three witnesses, including former president of the Kashmir Bar Association Mian Abdul Qayoom, did not show up. The special TADA court granted Pahloo one last chance to object to an application to have his bail revoked in two cases from 1990: one involving the abduction of Rubaiya Sayeed, the daughter of Union home minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, and another involving the deaths of four Indian Air Force (IAF) officers.Four witnesses were called to testify in front of the special court. Of them, Mian Qayoom did not show up and provided a medical certificate indicating his hospital admission. Another eyewitness, identified as number 23, is allegedly deceased. Both testified in the case of Rubaiya Sayeed's kidnapping, according to Senior Public Prosecutor S K Bhat. According to Bhat, the court had called two witnesses in the 1990 terror attack in Srinagar that resulted in the deaths of IAF personnel. However, the witnesses were unable to show up due to health issues, so the witnesses had to come from outside the area.According to Bhat, Malik, the leader of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), and Pahloo appeared in court via video conference. The case of the IAF personnel's murder on January 18 and the Rubaiya Sayeed case the following day would be rehearsed by the court. According to Bhat, the court granted Pahloo one final chance to object to an application to have his bail revoked. The court has consented to call potential witnesses.In August, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a request to the court to revoke Pahloo's bail in both cases, claiming that he had engaged in separatist activities and had therefore broken the terms of his release. In November, two witnesses, identified as 24 and 25, were questioned. According to Bhat, they validated the prosecution's case and named the defendant, Ali Mohammad Mir. Mir, the main defendant in the kidnapping case,They kept her in a guesthouse after bringing Sopore from Srinagar. Malik, who is being held in Delhi's Tihar Jail for a period of time related to a terror-financing case, was not physically present in court because of a directive from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs limiting his freedom of movement. According to Bhat, Pahloo was arrested for reviving the terrorist apparatus in the Kashmir valley and is currently being held at the Central Jail in Srinagar.Pahloo, also known as "Nanaji," was one of the ten terrorists detained in July from a hotel in connection with an alleged plot to resurrect the Hurriyat Conference, a separatist amalgam, and the outlawed JKLF in the valley. In both cases, Malik and numerous others have already been charged separately by the special Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act court. On January 11, 2021, the court framed the charges against Malik, Pahloo, and eight other people in the Rubaiya Sayeed abduction case from 1989.

New Delhi, Dec 14: According to sources on Thursday, the Lok Sabha Secretariat has suspended eight security personnel for their security failings during the incident involving the breach of Parliament. The names of the suspended security staff are Arvind, Vir Das, Ganesh Anil, Pardeep, Vimitt, Narender, and Rampal. The move was made in response to a significant security lapse that happened on Wednesday, when two trespassers, Manoranjan D and Sagar Sharma, leaped from the visitors' gallery into the Lok Sabha and unlocked smoke cans. The Delhi Police then took them into custody. Neelam Azad and Amol Shinde, two additional individuals, were also detained outside Parliament and used comparable smoke canisters.Under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), which prohibits terrorism, all four of the accused have been charged. When the two detained intruders leaped the Lower House chamber from the visitor gallery during Zero Hour on the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament terror attack, there was a significant security breach in the Lok Sabha. When MPs attempted to apprehend the intruders, they proceeded to leap from one seat to another and removed canisters. Before the lawmakers overpowered them, they screamed slogans and let off yellow gas from canisters. The House was then adjourned until Wednesday at 2:00 PM. The incident occurred when BJP MP Khagen Murmu brought up his issue while members were discussing urgent public matters.Following the breach of Parliament's security, the Secretary General of the Lok Sabha wrote to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) requesting a review of security. It was decided that passes for the visitors' gallery would not be issued until further orders were received. The MHA on Wednesday ordered an investigation into the Parliament security breach incident upon the Lok Sabha Secretariat's request. An inquiry committee led by Central Reserve Police Force Director General Anish Dayal Singh was constituted, comprising experts and representatives from other security agencies. According to MHA, the inquiry committee will look into what caused the Parliament's security to be breached, pinpoint any shortcomings, and suggest additional measures. The MHA had previously stated, "The Committee will submit its report with recommendations, including suggestions on improving security in Parliament, as soon as possible." Speaker of the Lok Sabha Om Birla met with political party leaders earlier on Wednesday to discuss the security breach incident.

New Delhi, Dec 14: November saw the fastest rate of increase in wholesale price-based inflation in eight months, rising by 0.26 percent, mostly as a result of a significant increase in food prices. For the previous seven months, the WPI inflation rate has been negative, and in October it was (-) 0.52%. The Commerce and Industry Ministry released a statement saying, "Positive rate of inflation in November, 2023 is primarily due to increase in prices of food articles, minerals, machinery & equipment, computer, electronics & optical products, motor vehicles, other transport equipment and other manufacturing etc." From 2.53 percent in October to 8.18% in November, food inflation increased.A spike in food prices in November caused retail or consumer price-based inflation to rise at its fastest rate in three months, according to official data released earlier this week at 5.55 percent. In its bi-monthly monetary policy announcement last week, the Reserve Bank raised concerns about rising food inflation in November and December while keeping interest rates unchanged.
