AIMIM will contest Rajasthan, Karnataka elections, says Owasisi

The AIMIM will contest coming Assembly elections in Rajasthan and Karnataka, its President Asaduddin Owaisi announced on Thursday.
He also exuded confidence that the party will increase its strength in Telangana in the elections scheduled later this year.
The Hyderabad MP was addressing 65th formation day celebrations of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) at its headquarters Darussalam.
Owaisi asked his party cadres to gear up for the Telangana Assembly elections. “The poll bugle for the Telangana Assembly elections has been sounded,” he said.
Alleging that the BJP is trying to spread hatred in Telangana, he hoped that people will reject BJP and ensure that peace prevail and the state continue its journey on the path of development.
“Telangana since its formation has seen rapid progress in all sectors. Its GDP is higher than the GDP of BJP-ruled states. The state is free from communal riots. There is both peace and development in Telangana,” he said and asked the party cadre to effectively counter the hatred which the BJP is trying to spread in the state.
Owaisi condemned the statements being made by BJP leaders to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere in the state. “People should decide whether they want Constitution or bulldozer, if they want peace or repression,” he said.
He slammed Narendra Modi government over another increase in price of cooking gas cylinders. “I appeal to all my mothers and sisters in the country to do namaskar and salam to the gas cylinder before casting their votes in the next election,” he said.
Owaisi announced that his party would provide financial support to families of Junaid and Nasir of Rajasthan who were brutally murdered by alleged cow vigilantes in Haryana and also to family of Qadeer Khan, a youth from Telangana who died after police torture in custody.
The MP demanded that the policemen who tortured Qadeer Khan be booked for murder. He said suspension of policemen is not a punishment.
Owaisi branded gaurakshaks as terrorists and said the BJP government in Haryana has set up a special cell to give licensed weapons to them.
“By doing this, the BJP wants to strengthen itself in Haryana but it is in fact weakening rule of law and the country,” he said.
The AIMIM chief said that Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar’s statement that China is a bigger economy than India shows that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has surrendered before China.
Owaisi asked why the Prime Minister does not take the name of China. Stating that China is occupying a large swathe of Indian land, he wanted to know what the Modi government was doing to take back the territory.
AIMIM leader in Telangana Assembly Akbaruddin Owaisi also slammed Modi and remarked that India does not want a chaiwala, chowkidar or faqir Prime Minister but it needs a strong Prime Minister who can safeguard the country’s borders.

Punjab Police arrest man for sharing sensitive information with Pak on Op Sindoor

Chandigarh, June 3: Acting swiftly, Punjab Police have arrested Gagandeep Singh of Tarn Taran for sharing sensitive information concerning army movements during Operation Sindoor, Director General of Police Guarav Yadav said on Tuesday.
The accused had been in contact with the Pakistan’s ISI and Khalistani supporter Gopal Singh Chawla.
Investigations have revealed that he was engaged in sharing classified details, including troop deployments and strategic locations, posing a threat to national security, DGP Yadav wrote on the social media platform X.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Singh had been in touch with Pakistan-based Khalistani supporter Chawla for the past five years, through whom he was introduced to the Pakistani intelligence operatives.
He also received payments from operatives via Indian channels, the DGP said.
The police have recovered a mobile phone containing intelligence that Singh shared with Pakistan, as well as details of over 20 ISI contacts.
“Thorough financial and technical investigations are underway to trace other linkages and establish the full scope of this espionage network,” the DGP added.
A first information report (FIR) has been registered under the Official Secrets Act at the police station (city) in Tarn Taran town, and further investigation is in progress.
Earlier, Punjab Police arrested two people, including a 31-year-old woman, for their alleged involvement in espionage activities linked to an official posted at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi.
Those arrested were identified as Gazala and Yameen Mohamad, both residents of Malerkotla in Punjab.
Police teams had recovered two mobile phones from their possession. Their arrest came days after Amritsar (Rural) Police arrested two people, Falaksher Masih and Suraj Masih, for their alleged role in leaking sensitive information and photographs of army cantonment areas and air bases to Pakistan’s intelligence agency.
DGP Yadav had said that the preliminary investigation revealed that the arrested accused had been receiving payments through online transactions in exchange for sharing classified information. They were in frequent contact with the handler and were involved in channelling funds to other local operatives as per his instructions.
Accused Gazala was arrested for leaking sensitive information regarding Indian Army movements to a Pakistan-based handler.
Based on disclosures made by her during interrogation, a second conduit identified as Yameen Mohamad was also identified and taken into custody.
Accused Gazala admitted that she was doing it in lieu of money, and the accused official has sent her Rs 30,000 in two transactions – Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000 – via UPI.

16 Bangladeshis, including 7 minors, apprehended in East Delhi

crime
New Delhi, June 2: In a drive against Bangladeshis illegally living in Delhi, the city police rounded up 16 persons, including seven children, from the Seemapuri area, an official said on Monday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara), Prashant Gautam, said the apprehended Bangladeshi nationals revealed that they had crossed into India approximately 18-19 years ago under the cover of darkness.
“They illegally entered India due to extreme poverty and a lack of livelihood opportunities in their native villages, located 40-50 km from the India-Bangladesh border in West Bengal,” he said.
The DCP said the arrests were made by a joint team of the Foreigner Cell and special staff of Shahdara after receiving a tip-off last month.
Those arrested include four men and five women, he said, adding that after entering India they initially stayed in the Cooch Behar area.
DCP Gautam said that from there, they travelled by train to New Delhi in search of better employment opportunities.
“Eventually, they moved to Haryana and began working in the rural areas, particularly at brick kilns, where they were involved in brickmaking,” he said.
These kilns are located away from main villages and residential areas, which allowed them to live in hiding without attracting attention, he said.
“No government agency had conducted any verification or background checks on them during this time. The brick kiln owners, driven by the motive of engaging low-cost labour, employed them without documentation,” he said.
Over time, they settled in the area, raised families, and continued to live and work without legal status or scrutiny, he said.
DCP Gautam said that on May 30, the Foreigner Cell of the Shahdara District received information regarding the presence of illegal Bangladeshi nationals attempting to enter the Seemapuri area.
“The tip-off indicated that a group of individuals was moving across the Uttar Pradesh-Delhi border near Shaheed Nagar,” he said.
The arrests were made by a joint team of Foreigner Cell and Special Staff comprising SI Shaji John, ASI Gajender, ASI Johar, ASI Nazir, Head Constable Arun, Head Constable Siddharth, Head Constable Yoginder, Head Constable Amit, Head Constable Vijay, Head Constable Anuj, Woman Head Constable Geeta, Woman Head Constable Manju, Woman Head Constable Renu and Constable Aman led by Inspector Munish Kumar I/C Special Staff & Foreigner Cell under the supervision of Gurudev Singh, ACP/Operations.

SC refuses to stay demolitions in Delhi’s Batla House, next hearing in July

suprim court
New Delhi, June 2: The Supreme Court on Monday did not pass any interim orders on staying the proposed demolitions in the national capital’s Batla House.
A Bench of Justices Sanjay Karol and Satish Chandra Sharma told the residents, who had received 15-day eviction notices and apprehended imminent demolition, that they are free to avail remedies available under the law.
The Justice Karol-led Bench directed that the matter be listed before the regular Bench for hearing in July.
The litigants claimed that they were “genuine residents” and “property owners” of Khasra Nos. 271 and 279 in Batla House. They stated that their homes fall within the area now sought to be demolished on the purported ground of being outside the PM-UDAY Scheme coverage, despite having valid title documents, proof of continuous possession since before 2014, and eligibility under the Recognition of Property Rights Act, 2019.
Any blanket demolition drive initiated without affording affected residents an adequate and meaningful opportunity of being heard would amount to a gross infraction of the principles of natural justice and a direct violation of fundamental rights enshrined under the Constitution of India, said the plea filed through advocate Adeel Ahmed.
Underscoring the need for a fair, humane, and judicious approach before any coercive action is undertaken, the plea stated that applicants have been residing peacefully in the area in question for several decades, forming a stable and law-abiding community.
It added that the 15-day eviction notices were mechanically applied to residents and properties which are neither part of Khasra No. 271 nor identified in any report as being outside the scope of regularisation.
In spite of their legitimate claims, these residents have been denied an opportunity to be heard, and are now at imminent risk of displacement, said the application filed before the top court.
