Step towards social justice: Kavitha launches United Phule Front
Hyderabad: A day after inaugurating the office of the Telangana Jagruti, BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Sunday announced the UPF (United Phule Front) as its affiliated organisation and also appointed a new body.
After writing a letter to her father and making controversial comments against the party leadership, Kavitha inaugurated the Jagruti office at Banjara Hills on Saturday and also announced that her organisation would work on par with the BRS with all affiliated units like Minority Cells pertaining to Muslims, Sikhs and Christians. Kavitha on Sunday announced that the United Phule Front will work as an affiliate of the Telangana Jagruti. A meeting was held with UPF leaders at the Telangana Jagruti office on Sunday. On this occasion, the new executive committee of UPF was announced. Bolla Sivashankar was appointed as the UPF Convener, Alakunta Hari as the Coordinator, Gattu Ramachandra Rao as the Advisor, and 50 others were appointed as co-conveners.
Speaking on the occasion, MLC Kavitha said that it was only with the united struggle of Telangana Jagruti and UPF that the Congress government came down and introduced separate bills providing 42 per cent reservation to BCs in local bodies, education and jobs. She said that Telangana Jagruti and UPF would continue their movements until the BC reservations, which were achieved through many struggles, were implemented. She was angry that the NDA government at the Centre and the Congress government in Telangana were conspiring to put the BC bills in cold storage. She had said that her organisation was fighting for the BC bill for the last year and half.
The Jagruti leader said that she would soon announce the action plan to implement the BC Bills. UPF convener Bolla Sivashankar said that Telangana Jagruti and UPF would continue their united movements with the unified goal of implementing the BC reservations. He said that they will tell the people how the central and state governments were acting in a conspiratorial manner by not implementing the increased reservations. He said that they will bring all the BCs together and achieve reservations.
Meanwhile, Kavitha wrote a letter to the Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy demanding cancellation of tenders pertaining to Monsoon emergency teams, instant repair teams and call the tenders again as per wards.

Pakistan's perfidy front and centre in foreign capitals
Let me start on a deeply personal note. My father, the late V N Tewari, was a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha. A professor of comparative modern Indian literature, a poet and an author, he conceptualised and vigorously espoused the concept of Punjab, Punjabi and Punjabiyat—the syncretic ethos of Hindus and Sikhs living together in harmony. This was a direct philosophical, ideological and conceptual challenge to Pakistan, that by the 1980s had made Punjab the first frontier in its strategy of bleeding India with a thousand cuts by trying to create communal discord between Hindus and Sikhs. My father was assassinated on April 3, 1984 at our home in Chandigarh. My mother, a Jat Sikh, would have died with him that fateful morning as she grappled with his assassins, except for the fact that my father's killers had run out of bullets. They had expended all of them on him. Faith-based executions such as his started in Punjab way back in the 1980s—from the standard playbook of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence. Conceived on January 24, 1972 at the Multan Conference convened by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the strategy to bleed India with attrition was the modus vivendi Pakistan adopted to avenge the humiliation meted out by India to the West Pakistan Army in Bangladesh. Pakistan wanted nuclear weapons at any cost in order to use them as a shield while it operationalised the proxy war it had envisioned against India.

BJP, MIM corporators clash over fake birth & death certificates
Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) council meeting witnessed a heated exchange between AIMIM and BJP corporators over fraudulent birth and death certificates being issued in the city. The debate arose after the GHMC disclosed that it had cancelled over 23,000 fake birth and death certificates across the city, with Charminar, Falaknuma, and Mehdipatnam circles being responsible for issuing the highest number of these certificates. BJP corporators pointed out that the majority of these fake documents originated from the Karwan and Mehdipatnam constituencies, as well as Balapur in the Chandrayangutta area. They alleged that Rohingya Muslims from Pakistan and Bangladesh were allegedly using these certificates to secure Aadhaar cards and passports. However, the AIMIM strongly refuted these claims, dismissing them as baseless. MIM corporators demanded that the BJP refrain from bringing religion into the issue and asserted that both Hindus and Muslims are 'bhai-bhai. ' GHMC officials said that they noticed some of the MeeSeva centres were misusing the instant approval system to generate birth and death certificates without uploading requisite relevant documents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Тези обувки са толкова удобни, че няма да искате да ги събуете. ZAROTRAVEL® КУПИ СЕГА Undo FIRs were registered against the respective MeeSeva centres by concerned registrars of all the circle offices. "We terminated 16 health assistants and 15 outsourcing employees who were involved in the issuance of fake certificates," said S Pankaja, Additional Commissioner (Health). "Except for institutional births/deaths, the GHMC has now discontinued the instant approval system at MeeSeva centres, and other certificates are being issued with thorough verification and approval by the concerned registrar. Further, an OTP per each transaction is being generated and sent to the registrar's mobile number, so that the login credentials are not misused by the system," said an official from the health wing, GHMC. A few days ago, CMOH investigated the matter and found that of the 74 reported home births, 38 had been registered at Shishu Vihar, a centre for orphan children. A suo-motto investigation was initiated, which revealed that four of the reported home births had never occurred. After a thorough inquiry, it was found that 65 birth and 8 death unscrupulous certificates were fraudulently issued at Metro Hospital in Tolichowki. Officials said an FIR was filed against the hospital.

GHMC has no right to demolish if it does not give permission, say corporator and Mayor
The Wednesday's council meeting at the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation witnessed some paradoxical moments, with corporators as well as Mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi affirming that the corporation should not go ahead with demolition of unauthorised constructions. The debate was kicked off by BRS corporators who demanded action against absentee member Baba Fasiuddin reportedly for abetting suicide of a BRS leader in Borabanda. The deceased leader who fell to his death from his unauthorisedly constructed home in SRT Nagar area, was alleged to have been harassed by who strongly denied the charge. The GHMC had reportedly issued notices to the leader over unauthorised construction, which, the BRS leaders allege was done at the behest of Mr. Fasiuddin. In connection with this, corporator Dedeepya Rao questioned why notarised documents are not accepted for according building permissions. While there were over 200 houses built illegally with ground plus five floors, only the BRS leader was targeted with threats of demolition. Chief City Planner K. Srinivas tried to reason that as per the GHMC Act, 1955, sale deed is a mandatory requirement for issue of building permissions, and that notary documents are not accepted as proof of ownership. Bansilalpet corporator Hemalatha Laxmipathi, at this juncture, came up with the argument that if GHMC would not accord permission on the basis of notarised documents, it did not have the right to bring down the structure, which defied all the rationale of the Act. Mayor Ms. Vijayalakshmi, without much thought, endorsed the argument, and repeated the statement, much to the amusement of officials and other corporators. One more issue was raised during the meeting, about encroachment of seven acres of government land in Uppal, which is being constructed upon, based on the permission obtained on a different survey number. Commissioner R.V. Karnan said the permission was given based on a favourable report by the District Collector in 2021. Later, notices were issued, and the builder approached the court.
