  • White House threatens to veto GOP bills reversing D.C. police reforms, restricting transgender athletes

    White House threatens to veto GOP bills reversing D.C. police reforms, restricting transgender athletes

    [ad_1]

    The bill “targets people for who they are and therefore is discriminatory,” the White House’s Office of Management and Budget wrote. “Politicians should not dictate a one-size-fits-all requirement that forces coaches to remove kids from their teams.”

    The statement notes that local schools, coaches and athletic associations are already working on participation rules for transgender children. A national ban would disrupt that more nuanced process, it said.

    The threats come ahead of House Republicans’ plan to bring the two proposals to the floor as early as this week in their latest bid to advance agenda items that force congressional Democrats into politically tough votes.

    House Democrats had sought strongly worded veto threats from the administration, particularly when it came to the transgender sports bill, several Hill aides said.

    Democrats are also trying to avoid a repeat of the confusion over Biden’s position on GOP-led bills that prompted many lawmakers to vote against an earlier policing reform rollback in February — only to see Biden decide to support the measure weeks later.

  • Israeli judicial reforms still on hold, Netanyahu says

    Israeli judicial reforms still on hold, Netanyahu says

    Speaking to Todd, Netanyahu said that even though he’s not resuming his efforts now, his goal remains the same, limiting judicial overreach and balancing the branches of government.

    “We’re trying to bring it back into a proper balance,” he said.

    Opponents of Netanyahu’s plan have said the proposed changes would undermine the nation’s basic freedoms. “It’s an attack on the very soul and nature of our democracy,“ former Prime Minister Ehud Barak said last month.

    During the “Meet the Press” interview, Netanyahu criticized Todd for how he described his proposed reforms and Israel’s current political environment — and also took umbrage at Todd’s question linking the judicial plan to Netanyahu’s personal legal problems.

    “Here’s another fib, another lie. It’s just not true. My own legal proceedings, which by the way are crumbling, all these charges against me have been crumbling,” Netanyahu said, adding: “My case is completely independent from this.”

    The prime minister also said he still felt close to President Joe Biden (“a great friend of Israel”) despite Biden’s concerns about the proposed judicial reforms.

    “Friends can have disagreements on occasion,” Netanyahu said.

  • Israelis resume protests against judicial reforms despite negotiations

    Israelis resume protests against judicial reforms despite negotiations

    [ad_1]

    Jerusalem: Tens of thousands of Israelis resume demonstrations in the coastal city of Tel Aviv, calling for a complete cancellation of the government’s judicial overhaul plan, according to the local media.

    The Times of Israel, citing the estimation of Channel 12, reported that some 160,000 people were demonstrating in the major Israeli city on Saturday evening. Demonstrations were also held in several other cities.

    Before the protests resurfaced, streets had largely remained calm for a few days in Israel since the ruling coalition and those opposing the reform started their negotiations on Thursday to find a compromise solution, Xinhua news agency reported.

    On March 26, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a pause in the contentious legislation aimed at curbing what they called a too-powerful Supreme Court. The decision came after weeks of widespread protests and a brief nationwide strike.

    The ruling coalition, which had pushed forward judicial reform bills in the parliament since the beginning of this year, argued that the Supreme Court often “intervenes” in political issues that should be determined by the legislature.

    Opponents of the reforms believe the reform will weaken the courts and give the coalition too much power.

    “We are on guard. The danger has not yet passed,” Yair Lapid, Head of the Opposition, tweeted from one of the demonstrations. Lapid’s party Yesh Atid is participating in the negotiations.

  • In a big jolt to Israel PM Netanyahu, Defence min calls to halt ‘judicial reforms’

    In a big jolt to Israel PM Netanyahu, Defence min calls to halt ‘judicial reforms’

    [ad_1]

    Jerusalem: Yielding to unprecedented protests, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Saturday called upon the government to stop the controversial judicial overhaul legislation sticking his neck out amid Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s insistence to go ahead with the suggested “reforms”.

    “The security of the State of Israel is my life’s mission. Over the course of my entire adult life I have dealt with Israel’s security day in and day out. Clothed in the IDF’s (Israel Defence Forces) uniform, I have risked my life dozens of times for the State of Israel. And at this time, for the sake of our country, I am willing to take any risk and pay any price”, Gallant said in a televised speech.

    “I declare loudly and publicly, for the sake of Israel’s security, for the sake of our sons and daughters the legislative process should be stopped”, he asserted, pointing to the visible diminishing morale of the army he could sense that is endangering Israel’s security and unity.

    Thousands of soldiers, including in critical divisions of the army, had called to stop reporting for reserve duty amid the ongoing judicial overhaul process stressing that it poses a grave danger to Israel’s democracy and could turn it into a dictatorship.

    Reluctant legislators in the ruling Likud party had so far shied away from expressing their opposition to the proposed “reforms”, which have led to massive unrest drawing hundreds of thousands of protesters on the streets for three months now, fearing a backlash from party members and potential political costs associated with defying the party leader and its position.

    However, Gallant’s defiant call seemed to galvanise other conscientious leaders in the party with three more, Yuli Edelstein, David Bitan and Avi Dichter, coming forward to demand to stall the process.

    Edelstein, who is the chair of the Knesset’s (Israeli parliament) powerful Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, thanked Gallant for “joining the path I’ve been leading for weeks”.

    “The majority of the people want and understand the need for changes in the judicial system, but this must be done with patience, dialogue, and broad discourse in order to reach a broad consensus,” he said in a statement.

    If the four decide to vote against the proposals then the government will not have the majority required to pass the legislation.

    Hundreds of thousands of Israelis opposed to the government’s legislative blitz to curb the judiciary’s powers have been taking to the streets for 12 straight weeks.

    Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s proposals to shake up the judiciary by severely curbing the High Court of Justice’s judicial review powers and the government’s efforts to cement political control over the appointment of judges have met with resistance not only in the streets of the country but also abroad with thousands of Jewish diaspora members protesting during Netanyahu’s visits to Italy, Germany and UK.

    Speaking at the main rally Saturday evening in Tel Aviv, renowned historian Yuval Noah Harari said that the civil servants and military forces must obey the courts and not the government, should Israel end up in a constitutional crisis.

    Holding Netanyahu responsible “for all that is happening”, Harari said that “you are not an emissary. You are definitely not an angel. After 2,000 years, we still remember the pharaoh. And we will remember you. There’ll be no streets, squares or airports named after you. But we will tell the story of the man who tried to enslave us and failed”.

    “You are surrounded by people with no backbone. But we have backbones…We will not be slaves. Next year we will be free people,” he emphasised.

    With legislations that many argue are aimed at establishing the executive’s supremacy over the judiciary, making it subservient to the government, slated to come for the final readings the coming week in the Knesset, the protests have also been peaking and the country seems somewhat paralysed.

    Internal differences within Israeli society have also intensified recently with the country looking broadly divided into two large blocs over judicial overhaul.

    Though the current governing coalition has committed to several controversial legislation, the biggest debate revolves around its push to increase political control over the judiciary.

    Three key proposals being discussed are a move to legislate an “override clause” by which the Knesset can reinstate any law invalidated by the Supreme Court, put judicial appointments under political control as opposed to the current hybrid political-professional-judicial appointments panel, and split the role of the Attorney General as both the head of the state prosecution and the government’s legal adviser.

    Analysts feel that the controversial steps proposed to emanate from the desire to protect Netanyahu, who is facing trial in three different cases, but altogether it serves the interest of all those included in the coalition in some way by addressing each party’s concerns.

    Seen at the receiving end of international ire, including a rebuke from US President Joe Biden, Netanyahu has looked weak and perplexed but hesitant to step back from the proposed “reforms” because of fear of losing control of his ruling Likud party.

  • Not afraid of criticism, will keep introducing governance reforms: Haryana CM Khattar

    Not afraid of criticism, will keep introducing governance reforms: Haryana CM Khattar

    [ad_1]

    Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday said his government is not afraid of criticism and will keep introducing governance reforms.

    His comments came in the wake of opposition parties targeting the state government’s flagship Parivar Pehchan Patra (family ID) scheme and several sarpanches opposing the e-tendering system in development works in rural areas.

    “We are not afraid of criticism, will keep introducing governance reforms. We took challenge of bringing changes in system. We will not be deterred by the opposition to our good works,” he said in his two-hour reply to the debate on the Budget in the state assembly.

    The CM, who also holds the finance portfolio, had presented the state Budget for 2023-24 in the assembly last month.

    The Budget was unanimously passed in the House after the chief minister’s reply on its estimates.

    Khattar had on February 23 presented the Rs 1.83 lakh crore Budget, announcing many new initiatives while laying emphasis on various sectors especially social and agriculture and also proposed no fresh tax.

    During his reply, Khattar announced that now MLAs can spend an amount of Rs 2 crore being given under the ‘Vidhayak Adarsh Gram Yojana’ for the development works in the urban areas as well.

    “Earlier the MLA used to spend the said grant in rural areas only but now this amount can be used for the development works in the urban areas as well,” he said.

    He also announced to rename this scheme as ‘Adarsh Nagar Evam Gram Yojana’. The director, panchayat will be the nodal officer for this, he said.

    Khattar also announced that the women’s college to be constructed at Balsamand, Hisar will be named after former chief minister late Bhajan Lal.

    He also said that apart from already announced 4,000 playway schools in the year 2022-23, an additional 4,000 such schools would be further opened in the state.

    He took on Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who was not present in the House due to illness, saying the former CM has been giving contradictory figures about state debt.

    The CM also touched upon steps taken for water conservation. Water table is going down every year, he said, while adding the government has started several schemes to conserve water.

    During Khattar’s reply, some Congress members kept interrupting him on various issues.

    He sought to clarify the definition of debt, and said that in the public debt three different heads are included. The Opposition should not confuse one with the other while calculating the final debt figures, he said.

    The State Public Enterprises loan figure in 2014-15 was Rs 69,922 crore, while in the year 2021-22, the figure was Rs 47,211 crore. The debt graph of the state at present has declined, he claimed.

    Khattar said Haryana is in the third position in the country in terms of investments after Karnataka and Maharashtra.

    The chief minister said that for 2023-24, Rs 7,314 crore was allocated for agriculture and allied sectors, which is 3.9 per cent of the total Budget.

    He stated that in 2014-15, the total allocated budget for this sector was Rs 2,156 crore which was only 3.4 per cent.

    Responding to an issue raised by the Opposition regarding why Haryana gets less financial help from the Centre as compared to neighbouring states, the chief minister said the Centre follows the formula that “the more progressive a state is, lesser the financial grant will be”.

    He said the government is focused on making panchayats and civic bodies financially independent. They have been directed to prepare their budgetary allocation and ensure the same is spent on carrying out various development works, he said.

    Khattar also said that the local audit system would be meticulously implemented. Whatever public money will be spent on development works, local audit would be conducted for the same, said the chief minister.

    He said that before finalizing the Budget, suggestions from all the stakeholders were taken, and out of around 700 suggestions, those which were feasible have been incorporated.

  • Tenth week in a row, thousands of Israelis protest against judicial reforms

    Tenth week in a row, thousands of Israelis protest against judicial reforms

    [ad_1]

    For the tenth consecutive week, thousands of Israelis protested on Saturday against the judicial reforms that the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to implement.

    The protestors accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of his far-right extremist views, including racism and trying to establish a dictatorship.

    According to Israel TV Channel 12, Tel Aviv saw 1,45,000 protesters while Haifa and Beersheba registered 50,000 and 10,000 respectively. Three demonstrators were arrested by the Tel Aviv police.

    In the early morning, car convoys of protestors drove to Ben Gurion Airport to block land roads for Netanyahu who arrived in Rome by helicopter.

    “It’s not a judicial reform. It’s a revolution that (is) making Israel go to full dictatorship and I want Israel to stay a democracy for my kids,” Tamir Guytsabri, 58, who was one of the protestors.

    Why are Israelis protesting against judicial reforms?

    Netanyahu was elected in November 2022 as the Prime Minister for the sixth time. His cabinet is considered the most extreme, nationalistic, and exclusionary government in Israel’s history.

    From the beginning, the Israeli government sought to make significant changes to the Supreme Court that would remove its independence and power to control the Parliament.

    Several proposed plans would limit the court’s ability to overturn laws it deems unconstitutional, allowing a simple majority of the Knesset to overturn its decisions. It also gives state lawmakers and appointees effective power over the nine-person committee that appoints judges and removes key officials from the attorney general. These and other changes undermine the power of an independent judiciary in an otherwise unchecked parliamentary system.

    The issue has created significant rifts in Israeli society prompting even reservists, the backbone of the Israeli army, to threaten to withdraw from service.

  • China’s structural reforms mean more power to Xi Jinping

    China’s structural reforms mean more power to Xi Jinping

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Structural reforms by the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership could bring government security and intelligence branches under the direct control of the ruling party, rather than the country’s cabinet, according to a media report.

    They suggest a further bid to consolidate political power in the hands of leader Xi Jinping as well as a possible preparation for war, analysts said, RFA reported.

    President Xi Jinping told a high-level political meeting in Beijing on Tuesday that the upcoming session of China’s rubber-stamp parliament, the National People’s Congress, would see the party strengthen “unified leadership” over scientific and technological institutions, as well as over the country’s financial institutions and over “government responsibility”.

    The announcement suggests further internal crackdowns to come within the government and party.

    A draft institutional reform plan is currently under discussion that will “be more relevant, more intensive, have a broader reach and touch on deeper interests” than previous structures, state broadcaster CCTV quoted Xi as telling the meeting, RFA reported.

    While officials have yet to make public the exact details of the restructuring, Japan-based China commentator Hong Xiangnan said the plans will likely include bringing the ministry for public security, which governs the police system, and the ministry for state security, which governs the state security apparatus and overseas intelligence operations, under the aegis of the party.

    “The only way this will go is the strengthening of the party at the expense of the state,” Hong said. “It will turn government departments into administrative offices, tasked with running errands and doing the gruntwork.”

    “They will carry out the basic administrative work, but the core of policy-making will be taken away, and go to strengthen the leadership of the party. We’re not talking about a merger of party and state here,” he said, RFA reported.

    He said the reforms will likely include the setting up of a powerful internal affairs committee under the central leadership of the Communist Party in Beijing.

    If the reforms do implement such a plan, the internal affairs committee could look fairly similar to the People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs under the former Soviet Union, which was responsible for ensuring internal revolutionary order and the security of the state, as well as the internal safeguarding of state property, the guarding of national borders, and the registration of births, deaths, marriages and divorces, according to a July 11, 1934 report in the Soviet newspaper Izvestia.

    Such a plan, if implemented, comes at a time of unprecedented official control over people’s personal and political lives, with the transfer of law enforcement powers to to local neighborhood committees and the setting up of local militias to boost “stability maintenance,” a system of law enforcement aimed at forestalling dissent and nipping protest in the bud, RFA reported.

    Hong said it was significant that Xi was only now mentioning these plans, on the eve of the National People’s Congress in Beijing, and that they hadn’t gotten an airing at the 20th party congress in October.

  • For 8th week, mass protests in Israel against judicial reforms

    For 8th week, mass protests in Israel against judicial reforms

    [ad_1]

    Jerusalem: For the eighth week in a row, tens of thousands of Israelis are demonstrating against the government and its judicial reforms.

    According to Israeli media outlets, more than 100,000 Israelis are protesting around the country, with the main demonstration being held in Tel Aviv, 25,000 rallying in the northern city of Haifa and thousands gathering in front of the president’s residence in Jerusalem. There is even one in front of the house of Justice Minister Yariv Levin in the central city of Modiin, Xinhua news agency reported.

    The protests are against the major overhaul of the judicial system, which was set in motion on February 13 when the administration initiated the legislative procedure for the reforms. The Israeli parliament has passed the first out of three readings of several relevant bills.

    One of the bills is the “override clause” which will allow the parliament to override supreme court rulings with a simple majority. Another one would change the composition of the committee that appoints supreme court judges by giving the government a majority. A third aims to block the supreme court from reviewing the basic laws already passed by the parliament.

    Demonstrators say the reforms will weaken the courts and give the ruling coalition unrestrained power.

    The coalition led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said it aims to complete the legislative process until April. With a solid majority in the parliament, the votes are expected to pass without major contention.

    Massive demonstrations are also planned for Wednesday when the coalition will continue to promote the legislation in parliament. The parliament is also slated to debate a bill that would prevent the state’s attorney general from declaring the prime minister incapacitated except for legitimate medical reasons.

    According to Israeli media, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara said earlier this month that Netanyahu cannot be involved in his government’s judicial reforms because he has a conflict of interests because of his ongoing corruption trial.

    Netanyahu and his partners say the reforms are necessary in terms of limiting the judicial system which has become too powerful in recent decades and often intervenes in political issues that should be determined by the parliament, vowing to push forward with the reforms despite protests.

    The Israeli prime minister also denies that the reforms are personally motivated to allow him to influence the outcome of his trial.

  • SC takes giant leap towards reforms during first 100 days of CJI Chandrachud’s term

    SC takes giant leap towards reforms during first 100 days of CJI Chandrachud’s term

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud’s first 100 days in office saw the Supreme Court take a giant leap towards reforms, especially making courts more technology-friendly, and ensuring relatively fast judicial appointments including those of eight judges to the apex court.

    During the tenure of Justice Chandrachud, the 50th head of the judiciary, the top court witnessed a sharp rise in disposal of cases with the number of cases getting disposed exceeding those filed.

    Justice Chandrachud, son of former CJI Y V Chandrachud, was sworn in as the CJI on November 9 last year and is due to retire on November 10, 2024.

    As per information shared by an apex court source, during the first 100 days of Justice Chandrachud’s stint as the CJI, several steps have been taken including those for digitization of records, online appearance slips for lawyers, RTI online portal and launch of digital courts desktop application.

    “During the period ranging from November 9, 2022 to February 15, 2023, total number of cases filed are 13,764 and total number of cases disposed of are 14,209,” the source said.

    On the issue of judicial appointments, eight judges have been appointed in the apex court during Justice Chandrachud’s tenure while 12 names have been recommended by the apex court Collegium for appointment of high court chief justices.

    “Against these recommendations, four chief justices (including one woman and one belonging to OBC) have been appointed. In an unprecedented manner, recommendations have been made against anticipated vacancies of chief justices of two high courts,” the source said.

    “Thirtyfive names (including seven names of women candidates) have been recommended by the SC Collegium for appointment of high court judges. 30 judges (including seven women judges, eight belonging to OBC, two SC, one ST, one Christian and one Muslim) in high courts have since been appointed,” he said.

    He said while recommending the names for judicial appointments, the aspects of inclusion of gender diversity and the need to give due representation to marginalsed and backward sections of the society and minorities are being duly taken into consideration by the Collegium.

    For the first time, CJI Chandrachud-led Collegium started the practice of providing details of deliberations in recommending the names to the Centre for judgeship.

    The source said, in a conference held on the occasion of the Constitution Day in November last year, Justice Chandrachud had urged the chief justices of the high courts to accord priority to filling up vacant posts at all levels by making merit-based recommendations of suitable persons with impeccable integrity and personal and professional conduct.

    He said on January 2 this year, the CJI had launched the e-SCR (Supreme Court Reports) with more than 34,000 judgments available online.

    “With an aim to provide access to the judgments in scheduled languages, the new feature provides translated versions of Supreme Court judgments in Indian languages,” he said, adding so far 3,132 judgments translated in Indian languages are available.

    The source said since the launch of advocate appearance slip portal, 1,42,818 online appearance slips have been submitted and equal number of paper sheets, if not more, have been saved.

    “The process of scanning and providing soft paper books for paperless court functioning are inspired by the visionary outlook of the Chief Justice of India to ensure that judiciary uses technology to its optimum level. The PIL section has also started extensive use of technology and is working towards electronic processing of petitions,” he said.

    He said with the decision of the competent authority to continue hearing in physical-hybrid mode, the computer cell has played a key role to ensure that video conference infrastructure and services are up and running 24×7.

    “Since November 9, 2022 until February 15, 2023, the Supreme Court of India has witnessed 2,53,919 attendees for VC hearings. Further, during the same period, 43 hearings of constitution bench cases through YouTube and NIC webcast services have been live-streamed,” the source said.

    The information shared by the source said the ‘Supreme Court Committee on Accessibility’ has been constituted with a broad aim to conduct an accessibility audit of the top court premises and its functioning.

    It said training sessions in stress management, communication and presentation skills, organisational behaviour and ethics and value in public governance, critical thinking, problem solving and decision making for the officers and staff members of the registry are underway.

    It said the ‘AI assisted Legal Translation Advisory Committee’ has been constituted to assess and monitor the progress of and to suggest measures to further enhance usage of Artificial Intelligence tools for translating judicial records in various vernacular languages in the top court.

    “The RTI online portal launched on November 24, 2022 has been a giant leap towards transparency, paperless filing of applications, appeals and payment of fees through online mode such as net banking, card payments, UPI, etc. Around 450 online RTI applications have been received till date,” the source said.

    He said PIL-English branch has started online processing of all petitions received electronically by e-mail and through this initiative, the SC Registry will be saving enormously in terms of papers and manpower.

    “Based on the statistics of last year, 83,000 letter petitions were received electronically, and presuming that on an average each petition consists of at least two pages, the Registry will be saving 1,66,000 pages equivalent to 332 reams of A-4 size paper,” the data said.

    It said on the judicial side, several initiatives have been taken and fresh and after notice matters are being listed on Monday, Tuesday and Friday and only regular matters are listed on Wednesday and Thursday.

    The source also shared details about initiatives of e-committee, which includes “sensitization module for the judiciary on LGBTIQA+ community”.

    He said based on a proposal of the e-Committee, the Finance Minister has announced Rs 7,000 crore budget outlay for phase 3 of the e-Courts project.

  • AC Assents To Amend Certain Provisions Of Land Reforms Act

    [ad_1]

    JAMMU: The Administrative Council (AC) which met here under the chairmanship of the Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha gave its assent for authorizing Revenue Department to move an amendment in Section 21 and Section 28-A of Agrarian Reforms Act, 1976

    Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar, Advisor to the Lieutenant Governor and Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta, Chief Secretary, J&K attended the meeting.

    The proposed amendments shall lift prohibition on transfer of land vested under section 6,7 and 12 of the Act and to bring these lands at par with the land vested under section 8 of the said Act. The proposed amendment bill will be submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, for placing before the Parliament for enactment. The enactment will be a big relief to such land holders who were vested land under section 6, 7 and 12 of the Agrarian Reforms Act, as this would enable them to sell off their land parcels which was earlier prohibited under the Agrarian Reforms Act, 1976.

    The amendment will also lead to vesting of revisional power to the Financial Commissioner Revenue which shall facilitate to dispose of the cases arising out of the said Act in the larger interest of the public.
