The first phase targets two colleges in each division, with specific paint colors mandated for the project. Congress leader Swarnim Chaturvedi accused the BJP government of using this initiative to distract from its unfulfilled promises and lack of achievements, arguing it undermines the integrity of educational spaces. 
Published: Nov 10 2024, 6 pmeznews.inThe Supreme Court of India has firmly stated that the Executive cannot replace the Judiciary, emphasizing that legal processes must not prejudge the guilt of an accused individual, in a ruling addressing the controversial practice known as "bulldozer justice." This practice, where state authorities demolish properties of individuals accused of crimes, has faced scrutiny for its extrajudicial nature. Justice BR Gavai highlighted the importance of the rule of law and the right to shelter, asserting that demolitions should not occur without due process. The court established guidelines mandating a showcause notice prior to any demolition, allowing individuals to respond and appeal decisions. Violations of these directives could lead to contempt proceedings, with responsible officials facing financial repercussions. The court also ordered local authorities to create a digital portal to track demolition notices and orders, reinforcing accountability in enforcement actions.

The Court outlined strict guidelines for demolitions, including the necessity for prior notice, opportunity for personal hearings, and videographed proceedings. It also warned that officials would face personal liability for unlawful actions, reinforcing that the right to shelter is protected under Article 21 of the Constitution.

Published: Nov 13 2024, 9 ameznews.inLawrence Bishnoi, currently imprisoned in Gujarat, is identified as the alleged mastermind behind the murders of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique and Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala. His criminal journey began 13 years ago when, at just 18, he set fire to vehicles in Chandigarh after a dispute with a student leader. Initially seen as innocent, Bishnoi's transformation into a notorious gangster occurred during his repeated incarcerations, where he connected with established criminals. Former Chandigarh inspector Amanjot Singh noted that Bishnoi, once obedient to party leadership, gained influence and mentorship from notorious gangsters like Rocky Fazilka while in prison. Bishnoi first drew public attention in 2018 when he threatened Bollywood actor Salman Khan over alleged poaching of blackbucks, revered by the Bishnoi community. His criminal activities have since escalated, leading to multiple arrests and a significant reputation in organized crime.

The threat, demanding a ransom of Rs 5 crore, was sent via a WhatsApp message to Mumbai police on November 7, coinciding with heightened security measures for Khan, who has faced multiple threats linked to a 1998 blackbuck poaching case. Pasha sought publicity for his song "Main Sikandar Hun," which references Bishnoi, by orchestrating the threat. Following an investigation, police traced the mobile number used to send the threat to Raichur, Karnataka, leading to Pasha's arrest. He has since been taken to Mumbai and placed in police custody for further questioning.
Published: Nov 13 2024, 9 ameznews.inIn a recent political spat in Maharashtra, the BJP mocked Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray following a routine security check of his luggage during a campaign event. The BJP shared a video of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis undergoing similar checks, implying that Thackeray's outrage was unwarranted. The BJP's post highlighted that Fadnavis faced bag inspections on November 5 and 7 without complaint, contrasting Thackeray's dramatic response to his own search. Thackeray had questioned the officer about checks on BJP leaders, demanding equal treatment. His ally, Sanjay Raut, criticized the searches as biased, while Shinde Sena spokesperson Krishna Hegde defended the checks, stating that Shinde remained composed during his own bag inspection. With Maharashtra's elections set for November 20, both the ruling coalition and the opposition are intensifying their campaigns to secure victory.

Published: Nov 13 2024, 3 ameznews.inThe Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched a campaign for the Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections centered around Prime Minister Narendra Modi's slogan “Ek Hain Toh Safe Hain” (together we are safe), which has ignited extensive debate and interpretation across various platforms. This marks a unique strategy, as no political party has previously focused an entire campaign on a single slogan during simultaneous elections in multiple states. Rival parties, particularly the Maha Vikas Aghadi in Maharashtra, have criticized the BJP for its communal undertones, questioning who is deemed "safe" and suggesting that the slogan targets specific communities, notably Muslims. In Jharkhand, similar accusations of divisive politics have emerged from opposition alliances. The BJP's slogan resonates with certain Hindu voter segments, addressing concerns over demographic changes and perceived threats, while also countering narratives from opposition parties. The effectiveness of this campaign will be assessed on November 23, when the election results are announced.
