Indore, Pune, Lucknow shine at National ULB meet with innovative urban models
Addressing public representatives from across the country after inaugurating the first-ever two-day National Conference on 'Strengthening Constitutional Democracy and the Role of Urban Local Bodies in Nation Building', held at the ICAT-2 Campus Auditorium in Manesar, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said that elected representatives of urban local bodies must fulfil their responsibilities with a clear focus on the vision of Developed India 2047, adopting innovative approaches, strong leadership, and practical skills.
He urged all representatives to take a pledge: 'My corporation, my council, my municipality, and my city should be counted among the cleanest and most beautiful cities in the world.'
Birla added that if urban local body representatives step forward with a positive attitude, they can undoubtedly bring dynamic and energetic changes to urban areas. He noted that urban local bodies, as the smallest units of the nation, are now playing a strong and vital role in steering the country in a new direction. The gathering, he said, aimed to explore ways to strengthen India's democratic institutions for a brighter future.

Place of Voting: The other voter's choice
Over decades, as EC fine-tuned voting systems and bolstered outreach efforts, the number of voters have steadily but surely increased. Yet, many are left out because they are registered in their home cities/towns/villages while residing elsewhere, mostly for work reasons. Returning to their constituencies to cast their ballot can, indeed, be an issue. To address this, EC has suggested that citizens should register only in constituencies where they reside, not where their 'permanent address' lies. This aligns with Section 19 of the Representation of the People Act 1950. The issue is particularly sensitive in states like poll-readying Bihar, where outmigration is high. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, voter turnout in Bihar was 56%, while the national average was 66%. A major reason for this gap is the inability of emigre workers to return home to vote. Many still prefer to vote in their hometowns or villages due to family ties, land ownership, continued access to state benefits (since portability of benefits is yet to be fully implemented) or because of investing in the future of such a place. While EC rightly notes that political parties often pay for voter travel - encouraging an unhealthy quid pro quo - stopping it is an administrative task. Requiring people to vote only where they live is not justified. Along with proxy voting for NRIs and postal ballots for service personnel, Form 6 allows migrants to vote from their place of residence for local candidates. But this has not been popular. EC has also experimented with solutions, including a pilot project using remote voting machines and postal ballots. These alternatives must be pursued, rather than enforcing a rule that fixes voters to their workplaces. It must be their choice.

'Rahul Gandhi Can't Be Witness Against Himself': Court In Defamation Case
New Delhi: A court in Pune has rejected a petitioner's request to get a copy of a book which Congress MP Rahul Gandhi cited during a speech in March 2023, which led to the filing of a defamation case against the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Satyaki Savarkar, the grand nephew of Vinayak Savarkar, filed the petition in a special MP/MLA court in Pune seeking a copy of the book which Mr Gandhi used while attacking Vinayak Savarkar. The court, however, rejected the petition, saying the "accused cannot be compelled to be a witness against himself, nor can he be compelled to produce incriminating material against him." The court said the trial has not yet started, so the defence cannot be compelled to disclose documents. "... The burden of proof lies entirely on the complainant. The accused is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. If the application is allowed, it would cause serious prejudice to the accused's right to a fair trial and his right to defend himself effectively," judicial magistrate first class Amol Shriram Shinde said in the order. "Forcing the defence to prematurely disclose defence materials is neither permitted under criminal procedure nor compatible with constitutional guarantees. It would violate the constitutional right provided under Article 20(3) of the Constitution," the court said. The defamation case against Mr Gandhi alleged he had on several occasions maligned Vinayak Savarkar, and one particular incident in March 2023 during a speech in the UK crossed the limit. As per Article 20(3) of the Constitution, no person accused of any offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself, the court said. "Therefore, this court is of the opinion that an order cannot be passed directing the accused to file the incriminating documents. The documents in question are incriminating in nature and are sought to be produced against the accused. "The accused cannot be compelled to be a witness against himself, nor can he be compelled to produce incriminating material against him. Hence, the application filed by the complainant is liable to be rejected and is accordingly rejected," the court said.
