Appellant attacks info commissioner, booked for attempt to murder
Lucknow: A dramatic scene unfolded inside the
Uttar Pradesh State Information Commission
in Vibhuti Khand on Wednesday when an enraged appellant allegedly attempted to assault state information commissioner
Mohammad Nadeem
during a hearing.
The incident occurred around noon in room S-07, during a case involving Deepak Shukla vs. Rajendra Singh of RRU University, Prayagraj. Shukla, the appellant, allegedly began shouting and demanding an immediate ruling in his favour. When asked to maintain decorum, he reportedly became violent, hurled abuses, and lunged at Nadeem with intent to harm.
Failing to reach him, Shukla allegedly removed his shoe and hurled it, striking the commissioner on the head. The attack was witnessed by courtroom staff, security personnel, and other attendees. Shukla also has a history of posting threats against the commissioner on social media, including warnings of a physical attack.
In his complaint, commissioner Mohammad Nadeem requested the registration of an FIR against Shukla for attempted assault and obstruction of a public servant. Assistant commissioner of police, Vibhuti Khand, Radha Raman Singh, said that Deepak Shukla was sent to jail for breach of peace.

Rahul Gandhi cites fall in vehicle, mobile sales to criticise govt's ‘event-driven' politics
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday cited the drop in the sales of two-wheelers and cars as well as the fall in the mobile market to attack the government and said the country needs politics that is not about the glitz of events but connected with the reality of everyday life. The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha asserted that the country needs an economy that works for every Indian, not just for a select few capitalists. "The statistics tell the truth. In the last year, two-wheeler sales have fallen by 17 per cent and car sales by 8.6 per cent. The mobile market has fallen by 7 per cent. On the other hand, both expenses and debt are constantly increasing: house rent, domestic inflation, education expenses, almost everything is becoming expensive," Gandhi said in his post in Hindi on X. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo — RahulGandhi (@RahulGandhi) These are not just figures, but the reality of the economic pressure under which every common Indian is suffering, he said.

The Congress has been attacking the government over its handling of the economy, alleging that issues like rising prices , decreasing private investment, and stagnating wages are hurting common people.

Australia says China anxiety, geography driving closer Indonesia ties
Australian defence minister Richard Marles (right) with his Indonesian counterpart Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin (left) during their meeting in Jakarta (Image credit: AP) Australian defence minister Richard Marles said Thursday that security anxiety over China was partly driving deepening ties with Indonesia in a region riven by rivalry between Beijing and Washington. His visit to meet counterpart Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin in Jakarta came weeks after Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese made Indonesia his first foreign trip following his landslide election win. Marles said the alliance with Indonesia stood on its own terms, but concerns about China's military build-up in the region influenced Australia's foreign policy thinking. "We've made no secret of the fact that we have a security anxiety in relation to China. We've made that clear to China itself," Marles, who also serves as deputy prime minister, told journalists in the Indonesian capital. "It does shape how we think about the strategic landscape that we face." He said geography was also a key part of closer relations with President Prabowo Subianto's government, with whom they signed a defence pact last year. "You just need to look at the map to understand how strategically important Indonesia is to Australia. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologista recomenda: simples truque elimina o fungo facilmente Acabe com o Fungo Undo Its geography is profoundly important," he said. "That's actually what's driving the increase in the activity between Australia and Indonesia." Marles and Sjafrie discussed greater cooperation "in relation to maritime domain awareness", which would see their militaries share more information about the waters they share, the Australian minister said. "The relationship between Australia and Indonesia has never been in better shape," he said. The bilateral defence pact pledged closer cooperation in the contested Asia-Pacific region and included provisions for each military operating in the other country. Months after the accord was signed, thousands of Indonesian and Australian troops held joint drills in eastern Java in November. Canberra has drawn ever nearer to longtime ally Washington, bolstering its military in an attempt to deter the might of a rising China. Jakarta has meanwhile walked a more neutral path, wary of drawing too close to Washington and far less willing to needle Beijing.

Burundi votes but with opposition neutered
Representative Image (AI-generated) Elections for a new parliament in Burundi got under way on Thursday but with little risk of an upset after the main opposition was effectively barred from running. The impoverished, landlocked country in east Africa has seen decades of ethnic violence, civil war and authoritarian rule. A former rebel group, the National Council for the Defence of Democracy - Forces for the Defence of Democracy (CNDD-FDD) of President Evariste Ndayishimiye, has dominated Burundian politics since 2005. It is accused of undermining its main opponent, the National Freedom Council (CNL), which came second at the last election in 2020 and claimed it was cheated. In 2023, the interior ministry suspended the CNL over "irregularities" in the way it organised its meetings. Then last year, the CNL ousted its leader, former militia commander Agathon Rwasa, while he was abroad -- a move which he said was orchestrated by the government. The government then passed new rules effectively barring Rwasa and his allies from joining other parties or standing as independents. A Burundian analyst, who requested anonymity for fear of reprisals, said the ruling party was taking no chances because the elections were happening amid "a very deep socio-economic crisis". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트, 비용 걱정되셨다면? 인천 시민을 위한 알짜 정보 플란치과 더 알아보기 Undo Burundi faces "all sorts of shortages, galloping inflation of more than 40 per cent and growing popular discontent," the analyst said. Very difficult for us: President Ndayishimiye took over following the death of his predecessor, Pierre Nkurunziza, who had isolated the country with his brutal and chaotic rule since 2005. While Ndayishimiye was seen as relatively less authoritarian, Burundi's rights record remains poor, with journalists, activists and opposition figures all facing severe repression. One of the candidates for Thursday's election, Patrick Nkurunziza -- no relation to the previous president -- head of the Burundi for All coalition, told AFP the campaign had been "very difficult for us". He said his members faced "threats, harassment and sometimes even attacks" from a government-aligned youth league known as the Imbonerakure. A group of media executives last month accused the Imbonerakure of detaining and torturing a journalist while he tried to work at the University of Burundi in the capital Bujumbura. A fuel shortage that has largely paralysed the country for nearly three years also made it difficult for candidates to operate, said Nkurunziza. "In the absence of Agathon Rwasa's CNL, the CNDD-FDD is sure to win," said the analyst. Most of the other candidates are "token candidates, who are there just to show that democracy is still happening in Burundi," they added. Burundi experienced decades of ethnic violence and civil war up to 2005. Under a peace agreement signed in 2000, seats in the parliament are split 60-40 between the two ethnic groups, Hutu and Tutsi. Burundi remains one of the world's poorest countries with almost two-thirds living below the World Bank's poverty line of $2.15 per day.
