Now, TDP leader and Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Chandrababu Naidu has planned legislation to encourage people to ‘have more children for the benefit of the nation’ and the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and DMK leader M K Stalin has talked about aiming at 16 children, in a country that is already largest populated in the world. There have been other utterances in the past by communal forces who want their population to increase. All these indicate about an emerging complex political issue in the country in near future.

Lt. Gen (Rted.) Zamir-Uddin Shah, who was Deputy Army Chief and after retiring from the Army, Vice-Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University from 2011 to 2017, wants Indian Muslims to build a steely resolve to fight to survive in Modi & Yogi's India. And quite like the Yogi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS 'Sarsanghchalak' Mohan Bhagwat, all of whom have urged Hindus to stick together, Lt. Gen Shah has asked Muslims to forge "unity" and not let “Kauf” take hold. “We're in a 1857-like situation. Drive the fear away from your heart,” he told a gathering of Muslims at Aligarh Muslim University on the birth anniversary of AMU founder Sir Syed Ahmed on October 19.

NEW YORK: Israel has no excuses left for carrying on with its genocide of the Palestinian people.

Centre is getting ready for an early roll out of the four labour codes while the joint platform of the 10 Central Trade Unions has threatened fresh nationwide agitation, including strike action, if the Union government goes ahead with its roll out plan. Union Ministry of Labour and Employment has been talking with the CTUs on early implementation of the labour codes, but differences still persist, because the joint platform of CTUs are sticking to their demand of repeal of the four labour codes.

The unveiling of the new statue of Lady Justice, with eyes wide open and a copy of the constitution in hand, has sparked animated debate across legal and public domains. Its design is a striking departure from traditional representations: the blindfold has been removed, and the sword has been replaced by the constitution. The symbolism is palpable, reflecting a shift towards transparency and a commitment to constitutional values.

Over 9 lakh acres of India is Waqf owned and “once Waqf, always Waqf” is the unwritten code, brought to India straight from Heaven. Hence, AIUDF Chief Badruddin Ajmal cannot be blamed for claiming land on which India’s new Parliament building stands as Waqf. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Sengol' can take a break! Now, if all the Waqf land all over India was a single unbroken landmass, a separate Waqf country could have been declared.
