Faridabad: Nine Bajrang Dal activists were detained on Wednesday for allegedly barging into a theatre and disrupting the screening of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer “Pathaan” movie, police said.
The protesters also tore the movie posters and smashed glass panes of the theatre, they said.
According to police, the incident was reported around 3.30 pm after members of Bajrang Dal gathered in Faridabad Sector 35 and marched towards Crown Interiorz mall, where the film was being screened.
They then entered the cinema hall and raised slogans for boycotting the film. Several movie-goers left the theatre, and police reached the spot.
A case was registered under relevant sections of IPC, including trespassing, following a complaint by Innox Cinema manager.
“Nine people have been detained while CCTV footage is being scanned and the other accused will be nabbed soon,” police spokesperson Sube Singh said.

BBC docu screening: 70 students protesting detention of 4 activists in Delhi detained, says SFI

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Delhi Police has detained over 70 students who were gathered at Jamia Millia Islamia to protest against the detention of four activists over the proposed screening of a BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Students’ Federation of India said.
There was no immediate response from the police.
Heavy deployment of police personnel was seen outside the campus where the students were gathered. Personnel from the Rapid Action Force were deployed at the gate.
Pritish Menon, secretary of the Students’ Federation of India’s (SFI) Delhi state committee, said the police detained the protestors who had gathered there.
“We were about to begin the demonstration but they were detained before that. They were taken to the police station,” Menon told PTI.
The Left-backed SFI’s Jamia unit has released a poster informing that the documentary would be screened at the MCRC lawn gate 8 at 6 pm.
Delhi Police on Wednesday said they detained four students after the SFI announced its plan to screen the controversial documentary on the campus.
The university administration said the screening would not be allowed and that they were taking all measures to prevent people and organisations with a “vested interest to destroy the peaceful academic atmosphere of the university”.

The varsity administration also issued a statement, saying no permission had been sought for the screening of the documentary and it would not be allowed.
“It has come to the knowledge of the university administration that some students belonging to a political organisation have circulated a poster about screening of a controversial documentary film on the university campus today,” it said in the statement.
The university had earlier issued a memorandum/circular reiterating that no meeting/gathering of students or screening of any film shall be allowed on the campus without permission from the competent authority.
It said strict disciplinary action shall be taken against organisers in case of any violation.
“The university is taking all possible measures to prevent people/organisations having a vested interest to destroy the peaceful academic atmosphere of the university,” it said.
The SFI’s attempt to screen the documentary at the Jamia campus comes a day after a similar event was organised at Jawaharlal Nehru University during which students claimed that power and Internet were suspended and stones hurled at them.

Hyderabad: Teachers detained for protesting GO 317 at CM residence

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Several government school teachers were detained on Sunday after they protested at Pragathi Bhavan demanding the scrapping of or amendment to government order (GO) 317. The teachers were shifted to various police stations while they were protesting.
In a video which went viral on Twitter, a protestor can be seen bemoaning the plight of teachers.
“Don’t teachers who come under the non-spouse category have husbands and wives? Are we supposed to life long work away from our families? How is this fair? If we take our children with us as well, our children lose the chance to be bought up in their home towns. It is only right that we are sent back to our zilla constituencies,” she remarked.
Teachers have been opposing GO 317 for the past few months, saying that it has caused them to lose their local connections and alienate their families as a result of transfers. According to the demonstrators, the GO has wreaked havoc on married couples when both the husband and wife are educators.
In 2021, the Telangana government issued the GO establishing a zonal system for job allocation, allowing the District Collector and the Head of the Concerned Department to form the allocation committee, make choices regarding jobs, and propose transfers for the District Cadre Posts.
