‘Tell Modi to sack ‘accused no. 4’: Rahul Gandhi tells  Delhi traders

Sultanpur (Uttar Pradesh): A special MP/MLA court at Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh on Monday (October 26) acquitted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a defamation suit filed against him over alleged objectionable statements about Union Home Minister Amit Shah in 2018.The leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha travelled from Delhi to Sultanpur this morning to hear the court's verdict.The complaint was filed by Vijay Mishra, the BJP's then district vice-president, over remarks Gandhi allegedly made at a press conference in Bengaluru in May 2018. At the time, Shah was the BJP's national president.The complainant alleged that Gandhi had called Shah an accused in a murder case and made derogatory statements about him. Mishra, who was also the chairman of the local District Co-operative Bank, filed a formal complaint over the statement.Advocate Kashi Prasad Shukla, who represented the complainant, said that the case dated back to May 2018, when Gandhi allegedly made the remarks during a press conference in Bengaluru.The MP/MLA court had summoned the Congress leader in connection with the complaint on December 16, 2023. The proceedings went on for several years before the court delivered its decision on Monday.Speaking to ANI earlier on Monday, Mishra said that he was hopeful of receiving justice and expected the verdict to favour him."We are hopeful that we will receive justice, given the way they behaved toward our BJP’s national president at that time (Amit Shah). This legal case has been ongoing since 2018, spanning all the way to 2026. Today is the date for the verdict, and given how the case has been contested by our legal counsel, we are optimistic that the judgment will be in our favour," he had said.Before the verdict, advocate Pandey had said that a conviction under Section 500 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) could carry a prison term of up to two years and a fine.Section 500 of the IPC prescribes the punishment for defamation. Section 437A of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) requires an accused to furnish bail bonds and sureties to ensure their appearance before a higher court if an appeal is filed against the trial court's decision.

New Delhi: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday (October 26) said that the INDIA bloc would consider a request from Delhi's traders to reschedule its November 1 rally at Ramlila Maidan, as the business community warned that the event could disrupt sales during the festive shopping season.Speaking to reporters in Patna, he said the Opposition leadership would discuss the request within a day or two and seek a solution. The rally is part of the coalition’s drive across India against alleged “vote chori (vote theft)”.“The rally is scheduled for November 1. We have received an appeal from the traders. We will think about it today or tomorrow and find a solution because what we are doing is also for the public and for them,” he said.He emphasised that the Opposition's campaign addressed a serious issue related to voters' rights. “This issue of 'vote chori' is very serious,” he said, arguing that people must have the right to vote for businesses and students to have opportunities.“Still, we have received their request, and we will consider it,” Kharge added.<h2>Why Delhi traders want the rally postponed</h2>The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) had written to Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on October 24, urging the INDIA bloc to hold the rally after November 10. The dates cited by the trade body include Dhanteras on November 6, Diwali on November 8 and Bhai Dooj on November 10.CTI Chairman Brijesh Goyal said that the rally could affect business during one of the busiest periods of the year. According to him, Dhanteras generates nearly Rs 25,000 crore in business in Delhi, including sales of gold, jewellery, electronics, clothing and automobiles.The CTI also cited losses suffered by traders earlier in October because of traffic diversions in Central Delhi. It estimated that the restrictions had cost retail and wholesale businesses around Rs 3,000 crore.<h2>Why traders fear rally disruptions</h2>The trade body said Ramlila Maidan lies within a five-kilometre radius of nearly 20 major wholesale and retail markets. These include Chandni Chowk, Sadar Bazar, Khari Baoli, Bhagirath Palace, Chawri Bazar and Karol Bagh.Traders fear that security barricades, traffic diversions and possible restrictions on metro services could make these markets difficult for customers to reach during the festive rush.The CTI also drew attention to the venue's proximity to Old Delhi and New Delhi railway stations. Thousands of shoppers and wholesale traders travel to the capital from other cities during the festive season, and congestion near the stations could complicate their journeys and the movement of goods.The organisation acknowledged the right of political parties to hold public meetings but appealed the Opposition leadership to consider the impact on small and medium-sized businesses.It urged Gandhi to consider holding the rally after November 10, when the main festive shopping period would have passed.

INDIA bloc rally on Nov 1: Will Opposition change date after traders' appeal?

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Friday hit back at the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) allegation that the protests against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls were aimed at forcing a “regime change”, citing the Opposition's unity that led to the defeat of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's government after the Emergency.Speaking at an interactive session at the NDTV World Summit, Tharoor recalled how political parties with different ideologies had come together to challenge the Congress government following the Emergency, which was imposed in 1975.“(PM Narendra) Modi does keep talking about the Emergency and how the Emergency was overthrown. How was it overthrown? Through an Opposition, where the RSS and the BJP were merging with socialists and leftists. They all united in order to defeat the government that had declared the Emergency. That's recent Indian political history, just half a century ago,” he said.Tharoor was referring to the defeat of Indira Gandhi's Congress government in the 1977 general election, when opposition parties came together under the Janata Party banner.The Congress leader also rejected suggestions that protests in India could turn violent, drawing a distinction between democratic demonstrations and the unrest witnessed in France.“I think the line is very clearly drawn by our Constitution, by our laws. It is that peaceful protest is the democratic right of every Indian citizen; violence is not,” he said.“What we've seen happening in France is not something that anybody in India's political space would condone. I don't, and I don't think my party in any way would welcome (violence),” he added.<h3>Tharoor Calls For Accountability Over SIR</h3>Tharoor said the Congress supported peaceful and disciplined protests against alleged irregularities in the SIR process. He maintained that electoral reforms could be achieved if the government and the Election Commission were willing to answer questions about the process.“We (the Congress) believe in peaceful, organised, and disciplined protest. At the same time, we expect that if we can actually find the government, and the Election Commission as well, willing to be accountable for the deep irregularities (in) the SIR process in the last couple of years, then we believe there will once again be a clean system,” he said.He argued that the objective should be to restore electoral safeguards and ensure that every eligible Indian citizen could exercise their constitutional right to vote.“The electoral rules will be restored, no Indian citizen will be deprived of their constitutional right to cast their vote and determine their own political choices, and in a free and fair election there will not be 'regime change'; there will be government change,” Tharoor said.“The Indian public has seen the inadequacies of the present government, but we want to bring that (change) about through free and fair elections,” he added.<h3>Tharoor Backs Opposition Unity, Praises Neha Bora</h3>Tharoor's remarks came amid a debate over the nature and objectives of the protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the alleged irregularities in the electoral roll revision exercise.Earlier, All India Students' Association (AISA) national president Neha Bora had praised Bangladesh's Gen-Z movement, describing it as an “inspiration” for young people in India. Senior advocate Prashant Bhushan had also said that the protests against Kumar had turned into a “fight for regime change”.Asked how the Congress could work with Left parties, including AISA, while contesting against them in Kerala and other places, Tharoor pointed to Bora's role in the protests.“These parties have their value, but Neha Bora wasn't campaigning against us. I like her; she's brought a lot of energy, colour, and life into the protest, the movement. It's about the Congress party being a moderate party and about acceptance. It's Opposition unity,” he said.Tharoor's remarks underlined the Congress's position that opposition parties can set aside their political differences to raise concerns over electoral processes while seeking a change of government through peaceful protests and free and fair elections.(With IANS inputs)

'How was emergency overthrown': Tharoor hits back at BJP's regime change charge

Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) leader Ashutosh Ranka on Friday said the outfit would “evolve in necessary ways” as it continued its protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.Ranka, CJP co-convenor Saurav Das and national organisation in-charge Ajinkya Shinde visited Mandir Marg Police Station on Friday, a day after seeking more time to appear before the Delhi Police Crime Branch for questioning. They were accompanied by the party's legal affairs head, Ratna Singh.The three leaders had been asked to appear at the Crime Branch office in Rajouri Garden at noon on Thursday. However, they requested additional time from the police.Speaking to reporters after leaving the police station, Ranka said they were waiting for the Crime Branch to confirm the next date for questioning.“We haven't received the next date yet. On the first date given to us, we could not go, so we informed them. They said they will confirm the timings, so we are waiting for the Crime Branch to get back to us,” he said.Ranka also said the verification of their sureties, following their release from judicial custody, had been completed without any issues. He added that they had been given another date in the third week of November.Reiterating the outfit's commitment to the protest against the SIR, Ranka said the movement would continue regardless of whether its members were in or out of jail.“We are not leaders; we are custodians of this platform, which has been given to us by the people of this country. We are just trying to do our best. The movement continues even when we are in jail or outside jail,” he said.Ranka added that the experience had prompted the outfit to reflect on its approach and the way the government operates.“Obviously, there are a lot of things that we have learned about ourselves and the way the regime is working, and we will, of course, change and evolve in necessary ways,” he said.<h3>CJP Leaders Released From Tihar Jail</h3>Das and Ranka were released from Tihar Jail on Wednesday after spending a week in judicial custody. Earlier this week, Delhi Police transferred the protest-related cases against the CJP leaders to the Crime Branch.The cases stem from an incident on October 13, when Das, Ranka and Shinde, along with 11 others, allegedly trespassed into Jantar Mantar, which has been de-notified as a designated protest site.Delhi Police detained all those involved. While Shinde was released on a bail bond, Das and Ranka remained in judicial custody for a week before their release.(With IANS inputs)
