Will bail be granted to Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy case? Hearing before the High Court of Delhi today!

At 2:30 pm, the Delhi High Court will decide on Arvind Kejriwal bail request. From the Tihar jail where he is currently incarcerated, Arvind Kejriwal continues to lead the Delhi government.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been in judicial jail for a money laundering case related to the alleged excise policy scam. He has challenged his arrest, and the Delhi High Court (HC). will rule on his appeal today. At 2:30 pm, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma will make a ruling about Arvind Kejriwal’s appeal. From the Tihar jail where he is currently in jail, Arvind Kejriwal continues to lead the Delhi government.

Citing the Lok Sabha elections of 2024, the law enforcement agency has opposed Arvind Kejriwal’s bail request, claiming that he is an “aam aadmi” and that the law applies to him equally. After serving six months in jail, AAP leader Sanjay Singh was recently granted bail; it remains to be seen if the Delhi High Court will accept Arvind Kejriwal’s request for bail.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Durgesh Pathak and incarcerated Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s assistant (PA), Bibhav Kumar, have been questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering investigation related to the Delhi Excise Policy 2021–22 case. The claims of corruption led to the policy’s withdrawal.

K Kavitha, an MLC for Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), was detained by the ED last month on suspicion of plotting with senior AAP officials to obtain preferential treatment when the Delhi Excise policy was being developed and carried out. In addition, the agency claims that she gave ₹100 crore in return for the favors. Since March 15, Kavitha has been in judicial custody.

In connection with the excise policy scandal, the ED has detained 16 people thus far, including Sanjay Singh, Manish Sisodia, and Arvind Kejriwal, as the 2024 Lok Sabha elections draw near.

The high court denied a new request on Monday to remove Arvind Kejriwal from his position as chief minister, stating that the petitioner should have incurred “heavy costs” and that the case was filed primarily for “publicity.”

Splitsvilla 15 E4 Highlights: 1st Ideal Match, Mischief Box Revealed!

Hey Splitsvilla Viewers! So here I come with new highlights of Splitsvillla 15 E4, It was an amazing episode I have ever watched splitsvilla 15 E4 was full of drama, entertainment, and suspense. Sunny Leone And Tanuj revealed mischief box and oracles introduced the 1st ideal couple for this season, Who is the first ideal match and why? What was inside the mischief box? Well, it is not possible to discuss everything in the introduction alone, so let’s read the highlights of Splitsvilla Season 15 Episode 4.

Highlights Of SplitsvillaX5 E4: Who Is the Splitsvilla 15 1st Ideal Match?

Highlights Of SplitsvillaX5 E4: Who Is the Splitsvilla 15 1st Ideal Match?

All contestants are gathered to perform their tasks with Sunny Leone and Tanuj, suddenly Urfi Javed entered and came to the show stage and I was surprised by her entry as a guest to the show. She had a crown on her head and entered like a Diva, all contestants were in shock, 3 undesirable girls hadn’t matched yet, on that particular point Urfi was angry that who said these girls were undesirable. She warned contestants not to get the last position in the task. It was an epic and suspenseful moment in that episode.

After that, the task was introduced for that episode and it was looking tough as it’s named “Double Date – Trouble Date”. Before we proceed to the next let me explain what was in the task, there was a pool between two slide bars, and the date setup was on the top of the slide bar.

3 Female contestants are on one side and 3 on the other side of the pool. 3 male contestants have to attend a date with 6 female contestants which means 2 girls per 1 male contestant. Boys have to attend both girls in a particular period noticed by hosts in this task male contestant has to bring flowers, cake, and shake to their date.

When the task started all participants were full of energy. Akriti was curious and crazy she cracked the punch line to Jaswanth “This year is special to Jaswanth because his mom will be her Mother-in-law”. I like this type of moment when someone expresses something out of the box.

When the time-up host calls a male contestant to switch to another date and they bring cake and flowers to them, female contestants are instructed to call their date “baby”. It was fun to watch this.

Rushali was calling Harsh as instructed “baby” and at that time Harsh stated that his happiness was above clouds.

Cake Was Dry?

While performing this task they have to finish the cake within time. When male contestants make cakes for their dates a scene comes into highlight that Siwet brings cake for his date “Anicka”. She was controversial at that point, she said the cake was dry and it choked her for a while. Maybe it was true because the cream on the cake base was lesser and that’s why she stated that she was choked. According to me, it looks controversial when you are performing on a national TV show and you say that the food isn’t good there, Splitsvilla team should take care of such incidents to avoid any happening, especially related to food because contestants are always in hurry to complete the task but the team needs to give them proper instructions before a task starts. Let me know your opinions on this point in the comment section below.

After bringing shakers to the female contestants, male contestants had to bring their dates out of the pool within the time, and after that, they took a selfie with their partners in the task. Siwet was last in the game.

The same task was performed by 3 undesirable girls while female contestants were performing their tasks Arbaz did an epic dance while he was calling to his partner. He was shaking his body like butter, it was a funny moment even the hosts were laughing in the corner. Ishita was last to finish the task.

While Arbaz, Adit, and Kashish were winners in that task. Kashish looked very happy at that time but as we know it might be just a nine-day wonder.

Adit was discussing with Kashish, Arbaz was also there, and suddenly Kahnak came to the door and without saying a word she turned back, All of us know the connection between Adit and Khanak, and at that point, we can observe Adit was looked a little bit afraid and it is obvious when someone’s saw his favorite person with others, it hurts. After all, we are humans at the end, am I right?

After this incident, Khanak came into the room and she started fighting with Adit on the point that “he should talk to her first than others” and the controversy went on. Then Ayushmaan entered into controversy and said Kashish was flirting with 3 guys at a time and Kashish reacted to that like a nuclear bomb, she started abusing Ayushmaan and left the room.

 Dome Session

 Dome Session

After all this now we are on the  Dome session, and the climax is here If you don’t know what is done in Splitsvilla let me tell you that it is a kind of stage with lightning effects and many more, you can imagine it as a movie set.

So all the contestants were together there and they all were amazed after watching the charming lights and effect there. Then hosts of the show came to the stage and attended all of them. There is one more interesting thing sphere-like structures called “Oracles”. Oracles act as divine in Splitsvilla but all of us know it is just a computerized system operated by a person behind the stage.

Sunny And Tanuj Reveals Mischief Box (1st Ideal Match of this Season)

Sunny And Tanuj Reveals Mischief Box (1st Ideal Match of this Season)

While all this going on hosts revealed the Mischief box was a new element introduced to Splitsvilla, I was curious while I was watching the show. The only question in my mind was “What will be in this box?” All eyes were on this box i will let you know about this after a few words, so hosts asked to vote most targeted Squeeze in this episode, and the majority of the contestants voted for Harsh, Rushali, and Arica. The hosts asked Harsh which of the female contestants he would choose to go with to Oracles. And as we all know he chooses Rushali over Arica. It was a romantic moment and a sad moment for Arica.

Let’s discuss a little bit about Harsh and Rushali. (Splitsvilla 15 1st Ideal Match)

Harsh 27-year-old from Kanpur. As a model and entrepreneur, his attractive persona and strong approach are mesmerizing, frequently leading others to dismiss possible warning signs as minor obstacles to be conquered.

On the other hand, Rushali hails from Ajmer, Rajasthan. The diva is a leather designer by trade, and her entrepreneurial endeavor enables her to accomplish creative work while inspiring the next generation to do the same. She originally started publishing her modeling images on Instagram in June 2015. Rushali finished as the second runner-up in India’s Next Top Model. Mania Walkers, often known as “MAWA”, is an Indian footwear brand started by Rushali Yadav in Ajmer, Rajasthan.

When a couple put their hands together to Oracles. This moment sets fire on the show and we know that they look perfect together. And Oracles said “yes” it is an ideal match. It was and will be the happiest moment for both contestants and their fans. After this host asked to vote for dumping one of the contestants and most of the votes were for Ayushmaan, it was sad for him and his fans! But, the twist begins here, before Ayushmaan can say goodbye to Splitsvilla, Tanuj opens the Mischief box, which contains 3 portfolios and one letter.

It was written that Ayushmaan was safe and would not leave the Splitsvilla this time. He was happy at that point but it was also written over the letter that he had to choose one of the portfolios that he wanted to dump. He chooses Ishita to dump and a sad moment again here, everyone’s eyes are full of tears because Aniket has good connections with Ishita, and he refuses to carry on the show without Ishita, so after watching all this all are sad! But again, rules are rules. So hosts and contestants said goodbye to Ishita with sadness on their faces.

Wrap Up

In conclusion, I would say episode 4 was full of entertainment, gossip, emotion, and fights. In this episode, we witnessed the warning of Urfi Javed, amazing hosting by Sunny Leone and Tanuj, and the love angle between Aniket and Ishita, the strategy played by Ayushmaan was epic, and we got Splitsvilla 15 1st Ideal Match, The mischief box was also revealed which saved Ayushmaan for this time, stay tuned for next update.

Why getting work visas to New Zealand just got tougher!

As part of its efforts to amend the laws governing immigration, the government of New Zealand has tightened its regulations for some types of visas, stating that the existing levels are “unsustainable.” The modifications include things like requiring knowledge of English for entry-level positions and establishing a minimum level of education and experience required for the majority of employer-sponsored work permits.

  • Low-skilled workers face a reduction in visa duration from five years to three
  • The country might not go ahead with a plan to add 11 low-skilled roles to the Green List
  • Employers to ensure migrant workers meet qualifications and skills before hiring

New Zealand is tightening its visa rules for migrants.

This is happening while the coalition government works to change the immigration laws, claiming that current levels of migration are “unsustainable.”

According to Immigration Minister Erica Stanford, the changes will mean that the country is “better testing the local labor market and reducing the risks of putting New Zealanders out of work.”

Let’s take a closer look.

Employers Worried About New Visa Rules

On Monday, New Zealand’s Employers and Manufacturers Association raised worries about the potential unintended effects of the new visa rules.

“We are supportive of ensuring we are bringing in the right workers, and that they are not exploited, but we do need to make sure we get the balance right. Making it harder for motivated workers to come into New Zealand means they will go somewhere else, that hurts business and means our economy misses out,” said Alan McDonald, the association’s Head of Advocacy.

In neighbouring Australia, there’s also been an increase in immigrants.

However, the government announced in December that it would cut its migration intake by half by making visa rules stricter for international students and low-skilled workers.

Tightening visa rules

Immigration minister Erica Stanford announced changes to the accredited employer-worker visa (AEWV), the main temporary work visa, which was introduced in mid-2022 to help fill workforce shortages after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The changes include measures such as introducing English language requirements for low-skilled jobs and setting a minimum skills and work experience threshold for most employer work visas. The maximum continuous stay for most low-skilled roles will also be reduced to three years from five years, according to Reuters.

More stringent rules on visas

The primary temporary work visa, the certified employer-worker visa (AEWV), was modified by immigration minister Erica Stanford. The AEWV was created in the middle of 2022 to help address a labor shortage following the COVID-19 epidemic.

The modifications include things like requiring English proficiency for entry-level positions and establishing a minimum level of education and work experience for the majority of employer-sponsored work permits. According to Reuters, the maximum continuous stay for the majority of low-skilled positions would also be lowered from five years to three years.

She stated the modifications would take effect right away.

“Where there is a skill deficit, the government is concentrating on luring and keeping highly trained migrants, including secondary teachers. In addition, we must make sure that New Zealanders are given preference for positions in areas where there is a skills shortage.

Employers must verify that a candidate meets these requirements before making an employment offer to a migrant, and they must also reveal that no other “suitable and available New Zealander” has applied for the post.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment in New Zealand requires that in addition to posting the job advertisement for a minimum of 21 days, businesses must also explain “why any New Zealanders who applied were not hired.” CNN reports that it also mentioned that some positions in the transportation and care industries won’t need to fulfill these standards.

Reducing Risk for Arrival

According to Stanford, the changes would make migrants less at risk of exploitation.

In February, the Public Service Commission released its evaluation of the AEWV initiative. The initiative was started by former Immigration Minister Andrew Little in response to claims of exploitation.

The committee found that a few “scrupulous employers” took advantage of the program and collected money from those who wanted to move to New Zealand, according to The Guardian.

The government abandoned plans to add 11 more positions, including fitters, turners, and welders, to the Green List, a list of highly skilled occupations that more Zealand is having trouble filling.

“Migrants will be better able to understand their rights or raise concerns about an employer early by having an English-language requirement,” she continued.

“These modifications mark the beginning of a more extensive work program aimed at developing a more intelligent immigration system that better manages risks, controls net migration, adapts to our shifting economic environment, draws in top talent, and renews international education.”

Growth in the immigration population

There are currently 5.1 million people living in New Zealand.

Since the pandemic ended, the number of migrants entering the nation has rapidly increased. 173,000 non-Zealand nationals entered the nation last year, sparking worries that this may accelerate inflation.

The Reserve Bank commissioned a study last month that examined possible links between migration numbers and inflation, but the findings were conflicting.

The working-age population grew more slowly in the year that concluded in March, indicating that the number of foreign workers may have peaked.

An international issue

Australia, a neighbor that has also experienced a significant surge in migration, announced that it would cut its immigration intake in half during the following two years.

Switzerland is also preparing for an important vote on immigration restrictions to keep the country’s population from growing beyond 10 million before 2050. By the end of 2022, the country’s population stood at 8.82 million, with immigrants making up a sizeable quarter of the total.

On Wednesday, 10 April, the European Union will take a crucial vote on a complete reform of its immigration rules. This decision will mark a dramatic change towards more stringent entrance processes for asylum-seekers and a shared responsibility among member states.

The European Parliament will discuss several regulations that are essential to the bloc’s agreement on immigration and asylum. This agreement is the result of a proposal that the European Commission presented in September 2020.

How often does total solar eclipse 2024 happen — and why today’s event is so rare

A rare total solar eclipse 2024 on April 8 will produce a “path of totality” over North America, resulting in midday darkness over large portions of the US, Canada, and Mexico.

When the moon moves in front of the sun and obscures our vision of it, this is known as a solar eclipse. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon shuts out the sun’s light. These are uncommon occurrences that are only seen for brief periods in particular locations.

The 2024 total solar eclipse path of totality will arc from Texas to the East Coast. If the weather is clear, cities like the town of Burl Vermont; Dallas, Texas; and Buffalo, New York, will have some of the best views.

What is a Solar Eclipse?

When the Moon moves in front of the Earth and the Sun, it can completely or partially obscure the Sun’s light, a process known as a solar eclipse.

An area of the moon that obscures the sun creates a shadow on Earth known as a “path of totality.” This path traverses the surface as a rather thin band. If the clouds and weather align, anybody standing inside this ring can see a total solar eclipse. The sky will grow gloomy, resembling dawn or dusk, when the Moon fully obscures the Sun in the line of totality.

People will only witness a partial eclipse if they are not on that line, or the path of totality. Depending on the extent to which the Moon obscures the Sun in their location, the sky will appear significantly darker to them than it did before the eclipse.

Total Eclipse 2024

when is the solar eclipse: April 8 is when the 2024 total solar eclipse will take place. A 185-kilometer span between Mexico, the US, and Canada will be visible for the totality, or complete darkening of the sky. It will also be viewed in up to eighteen different US states. However, skywatchers in India won’t be able to see it.,

The complete solar eclipse is scheduled to start at 9:12 p.m. Indian Standard Time (IST) on April 8, reach totality at 10:08 p.m., and conclude at 2:22 a.m. on April 9, 2024. Totality is expected to strike the Pacific coast of Mexico first, at approximately 11:07 am PDT, and exit Maine at approximately 1:30 pm PDT.

What is the average amount of total solar eclipses?

It is rare to witness a total solar eclipse glasses, and even more so when it is not visible from the United States.

The occurrences take place globally every one to three years, however they are frequently only visible from the poles or the center of the ocean.

Savoring a total solar eclipse involves several considerations. To ensure that the event isn’t obscured by clouds, viewers must have clear skies. Only those who are in the path of totality will witness the entire effect of the sun being blotted out. According to NASA, those who are not in the path of totality can still witness a partial eclipse, in which part of the sun is obscured by the moon.

Elon Musk wants Judge Alexandre de Moraes of the Brazilian Supreme Court to be removed: “Constitution betrayed”

On Sunday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk demanded the removal of Justice Alexandre de Moraes from the Brazilian Supreme Court, accusing him of suppression for preventing accounts thought to be distributing false information.

On April 7, Tesla CEO Elon Musk demanded the removal of justice from the Brazilian Supreme Court, charging him with regulation for removing accounts that were allegedly distributing false information.

Alexandre de Moraes “has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil,” according to the millionaire businessman. Either he quits or he gets impeached.”

The chief of Space X came to social media platform X (previously Twitter) on Saturday evening and declared, “We will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there.” This marked the beginning of a series of harsh comments against the Brazilian court system. “But principles matter more than profit,” Elon Musk remarked, alleging that Alexandre de Moraes was threatening to “cut off access” to the platform.

According to a court document, Elon Musk was accused of impeding justice through his social network platform X by the Brazilian Supreme Court Justice, who launched an investigation into him on Sunday.

“X shall refrain from disobeying any court order already issued, including performing any profile reactivation that has been blocked by this Supreme Court,” declared Alexandre de Moraes in his ruling. “If X fails to comply with the order to block certain accounts, the company will be fined 100,000 reais (USD 19,740) per day,” the judge further penalized non-compliance.

All about Brazilian Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes

The Brazilian Supreme Court justice, who is in the limelight, is one of the 11 members of Brazil’s High Court who presides over the country’s Superior Electoral Tribunal, or TSE.

Critics accuse Alexandre de Moraes of limiting and prohibiting free speech in Brazil. However, the judge is known to have led the battle against disinformation in Brazil. Recently, Moraes ordered the blocking of accounts of influential figures on social media. It was reported that most of these blocked influential figures were supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

Jair Messias Bolsonaro, a Brazilian politician and retired military officer, served as the 38th President of Brazil from 2019 to 2022. The Moraes-led TSE accused Jair Messias Bolsonaro of spreading false information about Brazil’s electoral system, and hence, he was declared ineligible to run for office in the 2023 polls.

Unprofessional??” The screenshot revealed that the email lacked any greetings or farewells. Moreover, it did not explain the rejection and simply stated: “Declined”.

They also included the following statement, “We are very sorry this error occurred, as it does not represent who we are or how we treat people. All applicants should be treated respectfully throughout the recruitment process, which includes receiving an appropriate, polite response with the outcome. We sincerely apologize for this mistake and believe we have found the source of the problem so this does not happen again.”

Following the company’s response, the user said, “Apparently my original post made so many waves that it reached the company, and I got sent this earlier today. Some of you sent me screenshots that you received the same email, and I know some of you reached out to the company itself to talk about it, so thank you all for that lol It’s good to know that it’s technical errr.”

During her first visit to Namesake City, Dasha brings the viral hit song “Austin” to the 2024 CMT Music Awards.

CMT Music Awards: The song was appropriately performed by the singer-songwriter in Texas Moody Center, where she also unexpectedly disclosed that it was her “first time in Austin.”

On Sunday night (April 7), Dasha sang her viral hit song “Austin” at the 2024 CMT Music Awards. She candidly stated that it was her first time visiting the place that inspired the song.

At the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, the singer/songwriter debuted the song live on television while decked up in double denim, a zip-up jean vest, and daisy dukes with a bejeweled belt that featured a rhinestone D belt buckle. Dasha and her dancers were accompanied by dancers dressed in white shirts and denim or camo pants. The song’s flawless line-dancing speed has been one of its main draws, so it was appropriate that they broke into a line dance in the middle of the song to honor its unexpected success.

She concluded the performance by saying, “I want to thank the CMTs for believing in me.” “This is my first visit to Austin!”

Fans of the song may find the last revelation a little unexpected, given the Texas town’s significance to the storyline of the song. The California-born singer sings, “I made my way back to LA and that’s where you’ll be forgotten.” “You’ll still be here, drunk, and washed up in Austin in forty years.”

When Tetris Kelly of Billboard News asked Dasha what about Austin inspired her, she responded, “Actually, this is my first time in Austin,” on the red carpet before Sunday’s show. “I’m performing ‘Austin’ live at the CMTs for the first time!”

Dasha’s first Hot 100 Billboard hit, “Austin,” peaked at No. 53 on the current week’s chart. This week, the song debuts at No. 54 on Hot Country Songs and reaches its No. 11 high. It also becomes her first Country Airplay hit. The news that the once-independent singer had inked a label deal with Warner Records was first reported by Billboard late last month.
