Jan 22 2025, 4 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: Asaduddin Owaisi, leader of the AIMIM and MP from Hyderabad, staged a symbolic protest against the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, drawing parallels to Mahatma Gandhi's defiance of unjust laws in South Africa. He condemned the bill as unconstitutional, claiming it fosters divisiveness in the country under the guise of religious issues, and urged acceptance of his proposed amendments. This protest followed remarks from Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who asserted that the law would be accepted by all. The Opposition, united in its opposition to the bill, argued that it violates fundamental rights, including equality before the law and freedom of religion. Senior Congress leader KC Venugopal described the legislation as "dangerous and divisive," criticizing the government for prioritizing it over pressing issues like farmers' rights and youth unemployment. Concerns from the Muslim community suggest the amendments aim to increase governmental control over Waqf properties, a claim dismissed by BJP representatives.

Clad in white, Lakshyaraj approached the ancestral throne amid conch shells and mantras, as Kulguru Vagish Kumar Goswami conducted sacred rituals in the Rai Angan, the palace's oldest courtyard. A ceremonial yagya was performed, honouring deities and past Maharanas. The event drew notable guests, including Odisha's Deputy Chief Minister Kanakvardhan Singh and poet Shailesh Lodha. However, the occasion was marred by a familial rift, as Lakshyaraj's cousin, Vishvaraj Singh Mewar, had earlier been crowned in Chittorgarh, leading to clashes at the palace gates. This succession dispute highlights ongoing tensions within the Mewar royal family since Maharana Bhagwat Singh Mewar's death in 1984, as descendants vie for control over the dynasty's legacy.

Apr 02 2025, 9 pmeznews.inThe Bombay High Court has ordered industrialist Anil Ambani to pay Rs 25,000 for attempting to expedite a hearing regarding a notice from the Income Tax department issued in April 2022, which the court deemed an "artificial urgency." Justices M S Sonak and Jitendra Jain highlighted that the urgent hearing request was inappropriate, as it pertained only to a show cause notice. In a March 27 ruling, the court rejected Ambani's urgent hearing application and mandated the cost be donated to the Tata Memorial Hospital within two weeks. During a subsequent hearing on April 1, Ambani's lawyer, Rafiq Dada, indicated that the tax department had issued an order for the relevant assessment year and sought to withdraw the petition, confirming that the imposed cost had been paid. The court accepted this and dismissed the case as withdrawn.

Apr 02 2025, 9 pmeznews.inIn a heated debate in the Lok Sabha, Union Home Minister Amit Shah defended the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, asserting that it addresses issues highlighted by RJD chief Lalu Prasad, whom he claimed the opposition had failed to support. Shah criticized misconceptions spread by opposition parties regarding the bill, which he argued is not anti-religious but necessary to rectify past legislative failures, particularly the 2013 Waqf Amendment Act passed by the Congress-led UPA. He quoted Prasad's support for stricter regulations to prevent the misappropriation of Waqf properties. Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju echoed these sentiments, accusing Congress of making questionable changes to Waqf laws during its tenure. In response, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi condemned the bill as a threat to the Constitution and minority rights, alleging that it could lead to the disenfranchisement of minority communities through provisions limiting donations to long-term practicing Muslims.

The Advocate-General countered that the land is not officially recognized as a forest, citing nearby high-rise developments. The court's decision came amid student protests against TIIIC's land clearance for IT park development, which escalated into confrontations with police.
