RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has condemned the demolition drive that is taking place in Delhi and said that these days the discussion is only about bulldozers and loudspeakers but these are not the topics. It is just being done to distract people from real topics like unemployment and inflation.

He said that according to a report, in Delhi around 80-90 per cent of constructions are illegal then does that mean that the whole Delhi will be bulldozed. This is just to distract people.

Earlier, he also condemned the anti-encroachment drive in Delhi’s Jahangirpuri that was carried out two days after the communal clashes took place in that area. At that time, he said that even after the interference of the Supreme Court, an anti-encroachment drive was taking place in Jahangirpuri.

At that time, he even asked that China has entered inside India but no action is being taken on it whereas bulldozers are being run on the basis of religion. Yadav said if those in (Jahangirpuri) are illegal constructions, what were the government and administration doing till now.

He also shared a video of his father, Lalu Yadav, on Twitter, in which the RJD supremo was heard talking about loudspeaker row. Lalu Yadav said that if people want to read Hanuman Chalisa then they should go to the temple, what is the need of going to the mosque to do that.

On Monday, protests erupted in Shaheen Bagh to oppose the SDMC’s anti-encroachment drive as the bulldozers came into the area. During that time, protestors raised slogans against the SDMC and demanded that action should be taken. After this, the drive was halted and the Supreme Court was sated to hear the petition at 2 pm. In the hearing, the civic body said that no houses have been demolished.

The Aam Aadmi Party had a double setback in Punjab as its lone Lok Sabha MP, Sushil Kumar Rinku from Jalandhar, and Jalandhar West MLA Sheetal Angural joined the BJP in Delhi on Wednesday. BJP national general secretary Vinod Tawde welcomed them in presence of Punjab BJP chief Sunil Kumar Jakhar and Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.

Rinku said Aam Aadmi Party lagged behind in Jalandhar on the issue of its development. He said they had not fulfilled the promises which they had made during the byelection as the AAP government did not support him. He said he was impressed by the style of working of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. He added that whatever works related to Jalandhar he took to Delhi were granted and the Adampur airport was made operational.

Rinku said Jalandhar had been given a stop for the Vande Bharat train. He said the people of Jalandhar need over bridges in the city and in Adampur. He said he was seeing a ray of hope by joining BJP. He said he is conducting a new experiment. He said he did not have greed for himself but he had wishes for the people of Jalandhar.

The Aam Aadmi Party came to know about the joining of Rinku to BJP when he suddenly disappeared from the AAP’s election campaign after he was named the candidate. He was among the first 8 candidates announced by the Aam Aadmi Party.

 Sheetal Angural became a first time MLA in 2022. He is going to hand over his resignation from the assembly on Thursday. With his resignation, the Jalandhar (west) seat will go into elections. Angural defeated Rinku in 2022 Assembly elections when the latter was in Congress. Earlier on Tuesday BJP had poached Congress MP from Ludhiana, Ravneet Bittu.

Delhi High Court refuses to grant interim relief to CM Arvind Kejriwal, next hearing on April 3

A bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma issued a notice to the ED on the Delhi Chief Minister’s plea seeking immediate release and declaring his arrest and remand as illegal.

In a major setback for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Delhi High Court on Wednesday refused to allow any interim relief to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate. The High Court also issued notice on Kejriwal’s plea and scheduled the matter for further hearing on April 3.

A bench comprising Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma issued a notice to the ED on the Delhi Chief Minister’s plea seeking immediate release and declaring his arrest and remand as illegal. The High Court asked the investigation agency to file its reply within April 2.

The Delhi High Court further rejected the contention of senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi who appeared for Arvind Kejriwal and argued that no reply from ED was required. The court pointed out that it is duty-bound to hear both sides fairly keeping in mind the principles of natural justice and hence ED’s reply is essential and crucial to decide the present case.

The court remarked that having regard to the nature of issues raised in the plea, it is of the opinion that the respondent has to be granted an opportunity to file a reply, as an opportunity for effective representation. It added that declining the opportunity to the respondent to file a response would amount to denial of fair hearing as well as violation of one of the principles of natural justice, that is audi- alteram partem, which is applicable to both the parties and not one.

In addition, the ED is likely to produce Arvind Kejriwal in a court on Thursday as his present remand will conclude tomorrow. The investigation agency arrested CM Kejriwal last Thursday in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case and sought a six-day custody starting from March 22. The nodal agency may seek an extension of Kejriwal’s custodial remand or seek court directions for sending him into judicial custody.

Meanwhile, Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal said that the Chief Minister has proof and that he will reveal everything about the location of the money related to the so-called liquor policy scam in the court tomorrow.

ED files money laundering case against Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter Veena Vijayan

Chief Minister Vijayan had said that his daughter had started the company using his wife’s retirement funds and the allegations being levelled against him and his family were false.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday has registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter Veena Vijayan and her IT company, Exalogic Solutions. The case relates to the alleged illegal payments made to Veena Vijayan’s firm by a mineral company. 

Reportedly, the ED has filed the case based on a complaint by the serious fraud investigation office, which had been asked to investigate the matter by the Centre. The case hogged limelight after an Income Tax Department investigation alleged that a private company called Cochin Minerals And Rutile Ltd (CMRL) made an illegal payment of Rs 1.72 crore to Veena’s company, Exalogic Solutions from 2018 to 2019. The payment was made to the IT firm of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter even though the mineral company did not provide any service to her firm. 

Furthermore, a report had also claimed that CMRL had made monthly payments to Exalogic, despite no services being provided, because of Veena Vijayan’s connection to a prominent person. 

Earlier on January 31, the Exalogic Solution moved the Karnataka High Court after the central government ordered the SFIO to investigate the matter. In its petition to the Karnataka High Court, the IT firm, Exalogic Solutions had argued that Section 212 under which the SFIO has initiated a probe was a serious provision along the lines of those under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). 

The plea added that such sections are used in serious cases involving hundreds of crores of rupees. However, the Karnataka High Court dismissed the plea the previous month. While addressing the Kerala Assembly in January, Chief Minister Vijayan had said that his daughter had started the company using his wife’s retirement funds and the allegations being levelled against him and his family were false.
