CBI to collect deposit receipts till June 14
The Central Bureau of Investigation has started collecting the deposit documents from Thanjavur-based investors of schemes offered by a Madhya Pradesh-based private firm, as per a Madras High Court order.
According to sources, CBI has set up an office on the Tahsildar office premises in Thanjavur for this purpose and has requested those who have deposited their money in the investment schemes offered by Parivar Dairies and Allied Limited to submit the deposit certificates issued by the company.

The Central investigation agency started collecting the Parivar Dairies investment scheme documents from depositors in Chennai, Tirutani, Kancheepuram, Perambalur, Thanajvur, Erode, Madurai, Theni, Dindigul, Virudhunagar, Sivagangai, Ramanathapuram and Marthandam from May this year.

Operation Sindoor: United abroad, divided at home
It has taken a horrific terror attack and an 87-hour-long military operation against Pakistan for India's right-wing army to confer a certificate of 'nationalism' to the Hyderabad MP and AIMIM MP, Asaduddin years, Owaisi's strident politics was demonised by the BJP as representing 'anti-national' sentiment. Wearing his distinct religious identity on his sherwani made him an 'enemy' figure for those whose politics revolves around 'othering' the Indian the same Asaduddin Owaisi is being feted as a 'patriot' for aggressively espousing India's case on Pak-based terrorism in global fora. The articulate Hyderabad MP's politics haven't changed: he has on several previous occasions also taken on Pakistan and the two-nation theory. Only his oversized image as a staunch Indian Muslim opponent of the BJP meant that he is easily typecast as an advocate of narrow Muslim interests and little else. This is no image makeover, only a reflection of a post-Pahalgam political environment which remains divisive and hyper-partisan at home but united and consensual abroad. Take also Home Minister Amit Shah's recent remarks in West Bengal where he accused the Mamata Banerjee government of 'vote bank politics' over Operation Sindoor. The TMC, like most opposition parties, has been mostly supportive of the Modi government on the 'war' with Pakistan. While Shah was addressing BJP workers in Kolkata, TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee was spewing fire against Pakistan's army state as part of an all-party delegation in East yet, with elections in Bengal less than a year away, the home minister's rabble-rousing speech was designed to sound the election bugle. A 24x7 politician, Shah is less home minister and more BJP karyakarta when on the campaign look at the chaotic state of the Congress party, India's principal opposition. Soon after Pahalgam, the party announced that it would 'fully support' any action taken by the Modi government to protect the country's 'national interest'. And yet, when the party's four-time Thiruvananthapuram MP, Shashi Tharoor endorses Operation Sindoor, he is instantly branded by local Congress leaders as having become the 'super-spokesperson' of the an eloquent Tharoor in Washington DC, leading another all-party delegation, refutes the charge that US President Donald Trump pushed India to agree to a ceasefire, Rahul Gandhi at a party rally in Bhopal accuses the prime minister of having 'surrendered' to the White House occupant. The confusion within its ranks is only glaringly apparent in the conflicting now to the BJP, India's dominant party of power. When Operation Sindoor was launched, the party's official social media handle released a video lampooning the Congress while accusing Dr Manmohan Singh of being a 'weak' prime minister who they claimed failed the country after 26/11. Strangely, its voluble MP Nishikant Dubey is part of an all-party team abroad, but that hasn't stopped him from putting out a series of acerbic tweets accusing Congress prime ministers dating back to Jawaharlal Nehru of 'selling' India's interests. From calling Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge a 'gaddar' (traitor) to dubbing Rahul Gandhi a 'Pakistani agent', the BJP's media machine has repeatedly targeted the Congress does one then make sense of a political milieu which is stoutly batting for India on foreign soil but throws bouncers at each other at home with no cohesion or decorum? Firstly, the blame must lie with the principal stakeholders, in this instance, the prime minister and the leader of the opposition. Forget about mutual respect, Prime Minister Modi and Rahul Gandhi seem to have utter contempt for each other. The prime minister has spared no opportunity in denigrating the Gandhi family, often in the most coarse language. The Congress leader, in turn, has been equally scornful of Mr Modi, almost as if the latter has no right to occupy the prime ministerial chair. When leaders respond to each other in such crude terms, how does one expect the followers to be any different?advertisementSecondly, there is an institutional atrophying that makes it increasingly difficult to ensure a measure of democratic accountability. Take, for example, the institution of Parliament, which in the past decade has been reduced to a notice-board by the ruling party. There has been little or no attempt made by government lawmakers to engage in a meaningful dialogue with the Opposition on key issues. Bills are rammed through, discussions are cut short, contentious issues are disallowed. When a debate is sought on Chinese intrusions, it is instantly refused. When an all-party meeting is called to discuss Operation Sindoor, the prime minister doesn't even attend it. Now, when a special session is demanded on the post-Pahalgam situation, the government ignores the plea. When debate is strangulated, democracy is there is the partisan role being played by a large section of the media which must be placed under the scanner. When the media becomes a loudspeaker of the government and shuts out or relentlessly interrogates the Opposition, then there is scarcely a level playing field in the national Operation Sindoor too, there has been little or no attempt by the media to raise inconvenient questions of the government even while routinely amplifying state propaganda. Is it any surprise, then, that the Chief of Defence Staff ended up admitting to Indian jet losses to a foreign media network in Singapore and not to a home audience? When domestic media credibility is strained, it creates an information vacuum that works against the public interest: the public has a right to know, not be kept in a dark tunnel of one key reason for the divisive nature of domestic politics is the pernicious influence of social media. This is the first Indo-Pak conflict in the age of social media, a noxious chamber of lies and abuse with no rules or filters to ensure even a semblance of due diligence or decency in public discourse. In this free-for-all whirl, there is ample space for extreme voices to get traction while expressions of moderation and nuance are increasingly marginalised. Soundbites are craftily edited, reels go viral, Twitter wars and loud name-calling debates are par for the course: who wants sense when sensation takes over? Domestic politics has become almost performative, playing to this media gallery where noise matters more than news in a post-truth surprise then that any hope for dialogue (samvaad) in our politics has gradually receded. Operation Sindoor may have united our leaders in salubrious foreign climes, but on home turf we remain as bruisingly divided as One Opposition MP who was part of the all-party delegation confided that he found his fellow BJP MP 'a rather nice person': 'She looks at me with hostility in Parliament, but on the flight, she was rather pleasant to talk to.' Maybe, a few more all-party visits might help break the ice further!(Rajdeep Sardesai is a senior journalist and author.

Himachal: CBI probe to continue into Negi's death case
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe will continue into the death of Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Limited chief engineer-cum-general manager Vimal Negi as the double bench of the Himachal Pradesh high court on Thursday refused to interfere with the decision to transfer the investigation to the CBI, terming that part of the plea as non-maintainable. Though a division bench comprising Chief Justice Gurmeet Singh Sandhawalia and Justice Ranjan Sharma partial relief to superintendent of police Sanjeev Gandhi has accepted the plea only to the extent that it pertains to the personal and professional reputation of Gandhi and the other SIT members, stating that their professional standing should not be undermined. The division bench while hearing Gandhi's Letters Patent Appeal (LPA), refused to 'modify' and interfere with the transfer of the probe to the CBI, but issued notices to all respondents, including the Union of India, the CBI, the State of Himachal Pradesh and the family of the deceased, on the issue of personal and professional remarks made against Gandhi and the Special Investigation Team (SIT) he had constituted. The High Court has now issued notices to all parties involved in the original proceedings, the Union of India, CBI, State Government, and the deceased's family on the limited issue of personal and professional comments in the earlier order. The next hearing is scheduled for July 14, and respondents have been permitted to file replies in the meantime. The court held that observations made by Justice Ajay Mohan Goel in its order of May 23, against Gandhi, as supervising authority of the SIT, were not maintainable to the extent that they impacted his service record. The court, however, refused to interfere with the decision to transfer the investigation to the CBI, terming that part of the plea as non-maintainable. It reiterated that a central agency probe is warranted to ensure crucial evidence and witness statements are preserved. Gandhi's counsel, advocate Sanjeev Bhushan while speaking to reporters said, 'Our concern is professional reputation. We had investigated the matter diligently and honestly. Remarks based on reports that were never shared with us should not stand uncontested.' He had earlier argued in the court that certain references to the status reports by the DGP and ACS (Home), adopted by the single judge, 'unfairly tarnished his image'. He had submitted that the status report filed by the then Director General of Police and the report by the Additional Chief Secretary (Home) had not been shown to Gandhi or the SIT, and no opportunity was provided to respond. Sanjeev Gandhi, currently on medical leave, has filed a Leave Petition in his personal capacity before the Himachal Pradesh High Court, challenging the May 23 single bench order that transferred the investigation into the mysterious death of Negi to the CBI. Gandhi through the petition has urged the high court to modify the order passed on May 23 be ordered to be 'modified to the extent that instead of handing over the investigation may be very kindly be ordered handed over to SIT being constituted by high court rather than handing over to CBI or central agency which is under control of UoI in order to avoid any conflict of interest.' Negi went missing on March 10 and his body was recovered from Bhakra Dam in Bilaspur on March 18. Kiran Negi, the deceased's wife, moved the high court on April 9 seeking a CBI probe which was allowed on May 23. Through the petition Gandhi said that as the affidavit filed by DGP HP 'was with ulterior motivate therefore the scathing observations qua the investigation based upon the said affidavit may be set aside and the contents of the said affidavit may be set aside.' The high court while allowing petition seeking CBI investigation on May 23, had observed, 'If the Director General of Police of the state himself has a concern about the fairness of the investigation, then even if this investigation is being carried out by the SIT in right earnest, it shall never instill confidence whatever may be the report of the SIT.' 'This court is of the considered view that in this case, there is an exceptional situation, which requires that the matter be investigated by the CBI,' ruled the high court while allowing the petition seeking CBI investigations.
