Pune NCP workers, functionaries break down, urge Pawar to withdraw resignation

[ad_1]
Pune: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) workers and functionaries in Pune on Tuesday evening urged party president Sharad Pawar to immediately withdraw his resignation from the top post as they broke down on coming to know about his sudden announcement.
They said they will resign en masse if Pawar (82), whose hometown Baramati is located in Pune district in western Maharashtra, does not take back his resignation which was announced in Mumbai in the afternoon.
Pradeep Deshmukh, Pune NCP spokesperson, said after the news of Pawar’s resignation trickled in, hundreds of workers gathered at the party office in the city and could not stop their tears.

He said the NCP is like a family, where Pawar is a father figure and such leaders do not retire.
“If Pawar saheb does not reverse his decision, party workers and office-bearers will remain firm on their resignation,” Deshmukh said.
Meanwhile, Vitthal Maniyar, an aide of Pawar, said the former Union minister’s move to step down as president of the party he founded in 1999 was not abrupt or sudden.
“Pawar saheb might have thought deeply before coming to this decision. He must be thinking of handing over the responsibility to the next team and making them ready while he is still active,” he said.
“Though Pawar saheb has sought time (to rethink his resignation), I am sure it was a well though out decision and he will convince party leaders to accept it,” Maniyar stated.

“Saheb has not given up politics or social work. Whether he is party chief or not, he will continue to work with the same gusto with which he was working till now,” he said.
Asked about Pawar’s possible successor if he stays firm on his decision to quit the top party post, Maniyar said the veteran politician believes in democratic functioning of the party and any decision on the issue will be taken unanimously.

CID Denies Pressuring Litigants To Withdraw Passport Cases

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Police has responded to recent media reports suggesting that its intelligence and counterintelligence wing is pressuring litigants to withdraw from the process of redressing their grievances through courts of law.
In a statement to Srinagar based news agency KDC, a spokesman for the Criminal Investigation Department said that the claims made were false, and an internal audit had been carried out to investigate the accusations. The police confirmed that officers would approach the aggrieved person to ascertain further details about who pressurized them and under what circumstances, so that a thorough inquiry could be conducted and suitable disciplinary action taken against the delinquent.
The J&K Police pointed out that the accusations were problematic because they denigrated public institutions designed to serve the public’s interest. The department emphasized that such false accusations harmed the community and appealed for people not to project personal grievances as public ones.
According to police statistics, in 2020, out of 77,686 passport verifications received, 77,644 (99.95%) cleared. In 2021, out of 75,714 passport verifications received, 75,176 (99.68%) cleared, and in 2022, out of 134,315 passport verifications received, 128,939 (99.61%) cleared.
The spokesman also highlighted the importance of security verifications preceding the issuance of passports, calling it a high-value public service. The police had detected 54 young boys who were wrongly given passport services during 2017-2018. All of them were taken to terrorist camps in Pakistan, trained in arms, ammunition, and explosives, and many were pushed back into Jammu and Kashmir through the Line of Control. Tragically, 26 of them died either while crossing or during encounters in the hinterland.
The CID was able to bring 12 of these young boys back under preventive custody to prevent terrorist-separatist syndicates from pressuring them to join terror ranks. The boys have now been reunited with their families and are happily living with them. Unfortunately, 16 of them are still trapped in camps under the control of hostile agencies.
Police investigations confirmed that in each case, the visa to Pakistan was arranged at the behest of one or the other leader of a constituent party of Hurriyat. The J&K Police is committed to helping the parents of vulnerable young person’s not fall prey to the death traps.
J&K Police reassured the public that they are committed to speedy and hassle-free clearance for those who are “clean and green.” They also stressed the importance of professional filtering of those who should be prevented from availing the service, both in their own interest and in the interest of the public.

Telangana: BJP demands govt to withdraw notice given to Eatala

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The Telangana police recently served a notice to Huzurabad BJP MLA Eatala Rajender in the SSC Hindi ‘question paper leak case’, which has drawn criticism from BJP Lok Sabha MP and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy demanded that the government immediately withdraw the notice, stating that the police were unnecessarily dragging the names of BJP leaders into the issue.
Reddy went on to allege that the police had engaged in vendetta politics, citing the fact that Warangal Commissioner A V Ranganath had initially said there was no paper leak, but later changed his statement. Reddy claimed that Rajender and another BJP leader, Bandi Sanjay, had been booked only because they had received the question paper through WhatsApp.
The Union Minister also criticized the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) for organizing a protest during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the state, calling it a political stunt to insult the Prime Minister. He accused K Chandrasekhar Rao’s family of having “done a PhD in manufacturing and spreading lies.” Reddy concluded by saying that the people of Telangana were watching everything and that the public was with the BJP, adding that the party would not rest until dynastic parties like BRS were dethroned from power.

Delhi HC permits ex-PFI chairman to withdraw plea for medical release

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday permitted former Popular Front of India (PFI) Chairman Erappungal Abubacker to withdraw his plea seeking bail on grounds of ill health.
A division bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav allowed Abubuacker to approach the trial court for relief.
Abubacker’s counsel Adit Pujari, sought leave to withdraw the plea from the high court with the liberty to approach the trial court in view of the fact that the NIA has already filed the charge sheet in the matter.

“Leave and liberty granted and we have not expressed any opinion on the matter,” the court said.
Counsel for National Investigation Agency (NIA) said that Abubacker cannot be released only on medical grounds and that the merit has to be argued.
Abubacker is lodged in the national capital’s Tihar jail under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act case.
On March 13, the High Court directed the medical superintendent of the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) to file Abubacker’s MRI reports conducted on January 29, on or before the next date of hearing.
On February 2, the court granted time to the NIA to file a response to an application moved by Abubacker challenging the order of a special judge rejecting his bail application on medical grounds.

During the last hearing, the counsel for NIA had submitted that a medical report has been submitted by the Tihar Jail.
To this, the court responded that it is not on record. “You’ll have to place it on record. We’ll assume that the report says you’re alright! This house arrest we are not permitting,” the court had said.
Abubacker was arrested by the NIA on September 22, 2022, and charged under the provisions of the UAPA.
He has been in judicial custody since October 6, 2022. He was active in organisations like the Ideal Students League, Jamaat-e-Islami, and the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI).
According to Abubacker, he is suffering from multiple ailments, including a rare type of oesophagus cancer, Parkinson’s disease, hypertension, diabetes, and loss of vision.

Asa Hutchinson announces presidential bid, says Trump should withdraw from race

[ad_1]

Hutchinson is entering the GOP primary at a tumultuous time in the race, as its current frontrunner, former President Donald Trump, faces an indictment stemming from a case related to hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
On Sunday, Hutchinson, a former federal prosecutor, reiterated the call he first made Friday for Trump to withdraw from the race.
“Well he should,” Hutchinson said, when asked whether Trump should pull out of the race. “But at the same time, we know he’s not [going to]. And there’s not any constitutional requirement.”
The indictment will become too big of a “sideshow,” Hutchinson said, adding that the former president should focus on his defense instead of another bid for the White House.
“I mean, first of all, the office is more important than any individual person. And so for the sake of the office of the presidency, I do think that’s too much of a sideshow and distraction, and he needs to be able to concentrate on his due process,” Hutchinson said, acknowledging that the former president should be presumed innocent of the charges, which the Manhattan District Attorney’s office have yet to publicly unveil.
Hutchinson joins what’s expected to be a competitive Republican primary. In addition to Trump, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and conservative entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy have launched campaigns, and several others have said they’re considering joining the fray.
So far, Hutchinson is the only candidate or speculative candidate to call on Trump to remove himself from the race. Others have condemned the investigation as a partisan attack by Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney who brought the case to the grand jury. Haley described the case as more about “revenge” than justice; Former Vice President Mike Pence called the indictment “an outrage”; Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the move was “un-American.”
Hutchinson has also been critical of the case. “I don’t like the idea of the charges from what I’ve seen coming out of New York,” he said Sunday. “But the process has got to work, and we’ve got to have respect for our criminal justice system, but also for the office of presidency.”

‘Pee-gate’: DGCA urged to withdraw suspension of pilot-in-command

[ad_1]
Delhi: Air India Joint Action Forum – a group of six unions, on Tuesday appealed to aviation regulator DGCA to withdraw the suspension of the pilot-in-command of an Air India flight in connection with the urination incident that occurred on November 26 last year.
In a letter to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the forum said that the due process of investigation has not been followed and vital steps in the investigation and enforcement have been skipped.
The unions have appealed to the DGCA to withdraw the harsh punishment and suspension of the pilot-in-command.
The forum represents six unions — Indian Pilots Guild, Indian Commercial Pilots Association, Air Corporation Employees Union, Air India Employees Union, All India Cabin Crew Association and Airline Pilots Association of India.
The letter written on Tuesday has also been marked to the Civil Aviation Minister, Aviation Secretary, CEO and COO of Air India.
Earlier, on Tuesday, Air India said it had closed the internal probe into the case and will also assist the flight’s pilot-in-command with an appeal against the suspension of his licence.
According to the letter, the entire crew comes under the judicial and operational control of the pilot-in-command.
“It is in this light that the pilot-in-command signed all reports and then directed the cabin supervisor to forward all reports to the company and its senior officers instantly upon landing to discuss the next step with the company, which was done and verified. Given the actual facts and non-existence of any eyewitnesses, it was decided by the pilot-in-command in consultation with his crew, that the passenger in seat 8C (Shankar) Mishra was not unruly, and could not be classified as unruly,” said the letter.

DGCA on January 20 imposed a fine of Rs 30 lakh on Air India and suspended the license of the pilot-in-command for three months in the incident which occurred on November 26, 2022.
Moreover, the regulator also imposed a penalty of Rs 3 lakh on the director of in-flight services of Air India for failing to discharge duties.
Earlier, on Monday, All India Cabin Crew Association said that the derostered Air India crew in connection with the Air India urination case should be rostered back on flights, terming the action against the pilot-in-command an unusually harsh punishment.
In a letter issued on Monday, the cabin crew body also termed the findings of an internal committee in the Air India urination case “flawed”.
