by Leave a Comment

The farmers, who are demanding MSP support from the government for all crops, on Wednesday resumed their Delhi Chalo march to press for their demands.

New Delhi: The Central government has appealed to the protesting farmers to hold the fifth round of talks. Union agriculture minister Arjun Munda on Wednesday said that the government is ready to discuss all outstanding issues, including MSP, stubble burning, withdrawal of FIRs etc. Meanwhile, farmer leader Rakesh Tikait’s BKU has opened yet another front in western Uttar Pradesh as farmers astride their tractors protested at several district headquarters.

“In the 5th round of meeting, we are ready to talk with farmers and discuss issues like MSP, stubble, FIR, and crop diversification. I appeal to them to maintain peace and we should find a solution through dialogue,” Munda said today.

He said the farmers’ side hasn’t reacted to the Centre’s offer.

“No information has come yet (from farmers’ side). We appeal that we should move forward for talks and present our stand. The government also wants to move forward and find a solution,” said.

The farmers, who are demanding MSP support from the government for all crops, on Wednesday resumed their Delhi Chalo march. Armed with gas masks, earthmovers and bulldozers, the farmers surged forward despite the tear gas shells fired by the Haryana police.

The Haryana police, meanwhile, have told the owners of the heavy machinery to steer clear of the protests or face legal action.

Meanwhile, in response to the Haryana government’s concerns about the agitating farmers using JCBs, Poclaines, Tippers, Hydras and other heavy machines at the Shambhu border, the DGP of Punjab has issued instructions directing all Punjab’s relevant officers to halt the movement of such machinery to the Punjab-Haryana borders.

Protests in Western UP

A huge crowd of farmers reached the collectorate at Muzaffarnagar on their tractors and staged a dharna.

BKU president Naresh Tikait and Rakesh Tikait are likely to participate in the tractor march.

BKU workers and farmers took out a tractor march near the tehsil in Shamli as well. The farmers tried to take the tractors inside the tehsil but the police stopped them. However, later farmers went inside the tehsil with tractors.

Similar protests were also held in Bagpat, Meerut, Hapur, Sambhal, Amroha and Saharanpur.

For the “Delhi Chalo” march, farmers mobilize bulldozers and pledge “peace”: Leading Updates!

by Leave a Comment

(Delhi Chalo)-The farmers on Monday rejected the Centre’s proposal of procuring pulses, maize and cotton at MSP by government agencies for five years.

Thousands of farmers from Punjab will resume their ‘Delhi Chalo’ march today, to press for their demand of MSP support for all crops. The protesting farmers, who are currently camping at the Haryana-Punjab Shambhu border, announced resumption of the agitation on Tuesday after the fourth round of talks with the central government failed. The march is expected to affect life in Delhi and its surrounding areas because security checkpoints set by the authorities to stop the protesting farmers might trigger traffic chaos.

Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal has said the farmers’ don’t want to create chaos and will remain peaceful. Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher said the protest march must be allowed to proceed to Delhi peacefully. Meanwhile, the Haryana police today detained some farmers in Manesar.

Here are the top updates on farmers’ protest:

  • Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to come forward and help him end the protest. “We have told the govt that you can kill us but please don’t oppress the farmers. We request the Prime Minister to come forward and put an end to this protest by announcing a law on the MSP guarantee for the farmers…The country will not forgive such a govt…There are paramilitary forces deployed in the villages of Haryana…What crime have we committed?…We have made you the Prime Minister. We never thought that the forces would oppress us this way…Please protect the Constitution and let us peacefully head towards Delhi. This is our right,” he said.
  • Pandher promised that the protesting farmers will maintain peace. “We tried our best from our side. We attended the meetings, every point was discussed and now the decision has to be taken by the central government. We will remain peaceful…The Prime Minister should come forward and accept our demands. ₹1.5-2 lakh crore is not a huge amount…We should be allowed to remove these barriers and march towards Delhi,” he said.
  • Dallewal said putting huge barricades is not right. “Our intention is not to create any chaos… We have made a programme to reach Delhi since November 7. If the government says that they didn’t get enough time this means the government is trying to neglect us… This is not right that such huge barricades are placed to stop us. We want to go to Delhi peacefully. The government should remove the barricades and let us come in… Otherwise, they should fulfil our demands… We are peaceful… If they extend one hand, we will also cooperate… We have to handle the situation with patience… I appeal to the youngsters to not lose control,” he told ANI.
  • The central government has estimated that nearly 14,000 people have gathered along the Punjab-Haryana border, news agency PTI reported, citing sources. The farmers are travelling in 1200 tractor trolleys, 300 cars and 10 mini-buses. The home ministry further pointed out that 4500 people having 500 tractors were also allowed to gather at the Dhabi-Gujran barrier.
  • The ministry of home affairs has shot off a letter to the Punjab government, saying the deteriorating law-and-order situation in the state has been a matter of concern. The home ministry alleged that many miscreants in the guise of farmers were indulging in stone-pelting, mobilising heavy machinery along the Shambhu on Punjab’s border with Haryana.
  • The home ministry has also raised objections to the use of tractors, JCB machines and other heavy equipment during protests.
  • The farmers on Monday rejected the Centre’s proposal of procuring pulses, maize and cotton at MSP by government agencies for five years. Saying it was not in farmers’ interest, they announced that they will march towards Delhi today.
  • Last week, farmers clashed with the Haryana police as the latter halted their march with barbed wires, concrete barricades, iron nails and other drastic measures. They also shot tear gas shells to stop the protesters.
  • According to reports, after having failed to break through the police’s defences, the farmers have brought in heavy machinery, including excavators and JCB machines. Special arrangements have been made in these equipment so that people operating them don’t get hit by rubber bullets. Several farmers are also packing anti-riot gear, including gas masks.
  • The police, who used trucks and buses last week, are planning to block the farmers’ way with loaded shipping containers today. Heavy security deployment has been made at Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders, the three main entry points into the national capital. Traffic chaos is expected.
  • In total, 8000 security personnel have been deployed at the three main Delhi borders. The police have installed several layers of barriers, reinforced with concrete, barbed wires and iron nails. Dumpers, cranes and earthmovers are also being used to block the tractors from entering the national capital. The farmers are planning to reach Delhi via two approaches — via Shambhu, Ambala, Karnal, Panipat and Sonepat; and via Khanouri (on the Punjab-Haryana border), Jind and Rohtak.
  • The Punjab and Haryana high court on Tuesday slammed protesting farmers camping at Shambhu border with hundreds of tractors and said tractor trolleys can’t be used on highways. “According to the Motor Vehicle Act, you can’t use tractor-trolleys on the highway. You are travelling from Amritsar to Delhi on trolleys,” the bench remarked, underlining that “everyone knows about rights but there are constitutional duties” as well. The Haryana Police urged its Punjab counterparts on Tuesday to seize bulldozers as they could pose a safety risk.

Renowned jurist Fali S Nariman passes away at the age of 95!

by Leave a Comment

Nariman received the Padma Bhushan in January 1991 and in 2007 he was awarded the Padma Vibhushan.

Renowned constitutional jurist and senior Supreme Court advocate Fali S Nariman passed away at the age of 95 in New Delhi on Wednesday.

In November 1950, Nariman became an advocate of the Bombay High Court, later earning the designation of senior advocate in 1961. With over 70 years of legal practice, he initially worked in the High Court of Bombay before shifting to New Delhi in 1972 to practice in the Supreme Court of India. Additionally, he served as Additional Solicitor General of India from May 1972 onwards, following his move from Bombay to Delhi.

The veteran lawyer was also the President of the Bar Association of India from 1991 to 2010.

Nariman received the Padma Bhushan in January 1991 and in 2007 he was awarded the Padma Vibhushan.

The veteran argued numerous significant cases, such as the NJAC verdict and the SC AoR Association case, which influenced the establishment of the collegium system. He also participated in cases like the TMA Pai case, addressing the extent of minority rights under Article 30. Notably, in June 1975, Nariman resigned as the Additional Solicitor General of India in opposition to the declaration of emergency by the Indira Gandhi government.

He served as the President of the International Council for Commercial Arbitration from 1994; the Vice-Chairman of the Internal Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce from 1989; and also the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the International Commission of Jurists in Geneva from 1995 to 1997; among several other prominent posts.

Nariman was a significant public voice in the country. Recently, he raised criticism against the judgement leading to the abrogation of Article 370.

In 2022, Nariman in his book, ‘You Must Know Your Constitution’, wrote, “The life of a written Constitution—like the life of the law—is not logic (or draftsmanship), but experience. Seventy-odd years of experience on this subcontinent has shown that it is easier to frame a Constitution than to work it….We will never be able to piece together a new Constitution in the present day and age simply because innovative ideas however brilliant and howsoever encouragingly expressed in consultation papers and reports of commissions, can never give us an ideal Constitution.”

He also spoke to HT, about the sedition law saying, “I am simply alarmed (and dismayed) by sedition remaining a part of the new law since it was always an oppressive colonial law that demanded not just mere obedience from the citizens to the orders of a foreign government but also insisted on citizens having an ‘affection’ for it. So when Gandhi ji was charged with sedition (as I have related in the book), he readily agreed and pleaded guilty to the charge since he had no ‘affection’ at all for the Government!”

Delhi Chalo march: ‘ ₹2 lakh crore is not a huge amount’, farmer leader Sarwan Singh urges Govt to remove barriers!

Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher urges PM Modi to accept demands as farmers aim to march towards Delhi with peaceful intentions.

Delhi Chalo march today: Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should come forward to accept their demands and the farmers should be allowed to march towards Delhi.

He said, “An amount of ₹1.5-2 lakh crore is not a huge amount…We should be allowed to remove these barriers and march towards Delhi.”

“We tried our best from our side. We attended the meetings, every point was discussed and now the decision has to be taken by the central government. We will remain peaceful,” Pandher added. 

Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal said protesting farmers, who have been camping at two border points between Punjab and Haryana after they were stopped by security personnel, will peacefully march towards Delhi.

“Our intention is not to disturb peace, “Dallewal said ahead of the farmers’ plan to march towards the national capital.

He also condemned the Centre for setting up multi-layered barricades at the border points between Punjab and Haryana to prevent them from heading towards Delhi.

“It is our request that we want to go to Delhi peacefully. The government should itself remove the barricades and give us the permission to march towards Delhi and make arrangements for our sitting in Delhi,” Dallewal told reporters at the Shambhu border point.

The farmers protesting at two border points between Punjab and Haryana will resume their “Delhi Chalo” march on Wednesday after they rejected the Centre’s proposal for procuring pulses, maize and cotton at the MSP by government agencies for five years.

Thousands of farmers, who began their march to Delhi on February 13, were stopped at the Haryana border itself, where they clashed with security personnel. The farmers have been camping at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana since then.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha are spearheading the “Delhi Chalo” march to press the Centre to accept their demands, including a legal guarantee on the MSP for crops and farm loan waiver.

Rumours of Anushka Sharma’s second pregnancy have been doing rounds since last year. It grew even stronger when the actor started limiting her public appearances. She even rarely attended cricket matches of Virat. However, neither Virat nor Anushka commented on the pregnancy rumours.

Virat withdrew from the first two test matches against England and later withdrew from the whole series due to personal reasons. Later, his close friend AB de Villiers shared on his YouTube channel that Kohli and Anushka were expecting their second child, so the cricketer took some time out. However, a few days later, AB De Villiers changed his words and said that he was unaware of why Virat took a break.

PM Modi launches Multiple development Projects in Jammu, says ‘Article 370 was main hurdle’

by Leave a Comment

Prime Minister Modi said Article 370 was the main hurdle in the development of Jammu and Kashmir.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for a slew of transformative projects worth ₹32,000 crore for Jammu and Kashmir. These initiatives span a diverse array of sectors including health, education, transportation, energy, and civic infrastructure among others.

During the event, the prime minister flagged off the first Electric Train in the valley and also the train service between Sangaldan station and Baramulla station. The commissioning of the Banihal-Khari-Sumber-Sangaldan section is significant as it features the usage of Ballast Less Track (BLT) all along the route providing a better riding experience to the passengers.

PM Modi also handed out appointment orders to approximately 1500 newly recruited government officials.

PM Modi, in his address to the gathering, expressed unwavering confidence in the potential of Jammu and Kashmir, vowing to fulfil the dreams of its people with the vision of ‘Viksit Jammu and Kashmir’.

“I have full faith in you and we will make ‘Viksit Jammu and Kashmir.’ Your dreams of 70 years will be fulfilled by Modi in the coming years,” he said.

Earlier, only disappointing news of bombs, kidnappings, and separation used to come from Jammu and Kashmir, but now Jammu and Kashmir is developing and moving forward,” the prime minister added.

Calling now-scrapped Article 370 of the Indian Constitution the main hurdle in the development of Jammu and Kashmir, PM Modi said the region is now moving towards overall development.

“Because of the abrogation of Article 370, I have asked people to help BJP win 370 seats and NDA win 400 seats in elections,” he said.

“I have heard that a film on Article 370 is going to be released this week… It is a good thing as it will help people in getting correct information.”

Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, Union minister Jitendra Singh and prominent BJP leaders including J-K unit president Ravinder Raina were also present at the event.

Sinha lauded the remarkable reduction in incidents of terrorism, citing a 75% decrease.

“The commanders of the outfits have been sent to their appropriate place (Jo bhi tanzeeme thi unke top commanders ko uchit jagah pahucha diya gaye hai).Now protest calendar is not issued, and stone pelting is now history. Markets, schools, and universities now remain open throughout the year,” the L-G said.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh credited the end of appeasement politics and the empowerment of marginalised communities.

“Appeasement politics ended after PM Modi came to power. Kashmiri Pandits, daughters of Jammu and Kashmir, Gujjars, Paharis and others got their rights. After removing Article 370, you proved ‘Modi hai to mumkin hai’,” Singh said.

Wanindu Hasaranga breaks Malinga’s record to establish a new Sri Lankan record as Sri Lanka wins the series against Afghanistan!

by Leave a Comment

In recognition of his overall performance, Angelo Mathews was named Player of the Match (POTM). His rapid-fire innings of 42 from 22 balls and his 2/9 stats claimed were crucial to Sri Lanka victory.

Sri Lanka

Skipper Wanindu Hasaranga claimed his first-ever T20I series win since being appointed full-time captain as Sri Lanka made mincemeat of Afghanistan in the second game of the three-match series by 87 runs on Monday (February 19).

Sri Lankan batters used the batting-friendly strip at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium after the Afghan skipper Ibrahim Zadran won the toss and sent them in.

Openers Pathum Nissanka (25 runs off 11 deliveries) and Kusal Mendis (23 off 14 balls) got the hosts off to a blistering start, putting the pressure right back on the tourists up front.

The Sri Lankan pair added 45 runs inside four overs before Nissanka was trapped in front of his stumps by Azmatullah Omarzai. Mendis was quick to follow his partner to the dugout as he fell prey to Fazalhaq Farooqi two deliveries later.

The home side lost three more wickets without adding much to the scoreboard and was reduced to 121/5 in 14.2 overs. However, things took an amazing turn for the Wanindu Hasaranga-led side as Sadeera Samarawickrama (51 off 42 balls) and Angelo Mathews came together in the middle.

The duo added 66 off just 34 balls to propel the Lankan Lions to 187/6 in 20 overs. Mathews was the star of the show as he smashed four sixes and two fours and batted at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 190.90.

Afghanistan’s chase wobbled early and they were struggling to keep up with the asking rate, having lost half their side inside five overs.

The Sri Lankan bowlers were disciplined in their approach and didn’t offer any freebies for the tourists to cash in. A 39-run stand between Nabi and Karim Jant helped the visitors salvage their pride to some extent before the Lankan bowling attack came roaring back to restrict them to 115 in 17 overs.

Wanindu Hasaranga moves past Lankan legend Lasith Malinga

Skipper Hasaranga became the fastest Sri Lankan to 100 T20I wickets as he shattered Lasith Malinga’s record. Hasaranga achieved the feat in his 63rd T20I outing whereas it took Malinga 76 T20Is snare 100 scalps in the format.

Hasaranga is the second-fastest to scale the milestone and is behind Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan who bagged 100 T20I poles in just 53 games.
