Mau's MP-MLA court to hear Ansari plea today
1 2 Varanasi: Disqualified MLA Abbas Ansari's appeal against his sentencing in the 'Hisab kitab' hate speech episode by the CJM (MP-MLA) court was filed before the session court of Mau district on Monday. Ansari's advocate Daroga Singh said that the appeal was moved before the sessions court on Monday, which transferred the case to the court of ADJ (MP-MLA) Rajiv Vats where the hearing will take place on Tuesday. Through this appeal, Ansari challenged the May 31 CJM (MP-MLA) court decision of sentencing him to two years of imprisonment, he added. On the next day of sentencing him by the court, his membership from the state Assembly was terminated. Ansari was sentenced in a case of hate speech lodged against him on March 4, 2022, after his speech delivered at a meeting in the Paharpur area on March 3, 2022, went viral on social media. While contesting the 2022 Assembly polls from the Mau Sadar seat as a Samajwadi Party-Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party alliance candidate, Ansari, in his Paharpur speech on March 3, 2022, stated, "After the formation of the SP-led govt, the officials would have to give 'hisab-kitab' (account) of their work of the past regime before getting transferred. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo " Ansari won the election, but he went to jail following his arrest by the Prayagraj unit of the ED in a money laundering case in Feb 2023. He came out of jail last March. The court, in its 48-page judgment, commented, "The accused has a criminal history and several serious criminal records are also associated with his family members. The family of the accused Abbas Ansari has held the Legislative Assembly seat of Mau Sadar for nearly 20 years. During his election campaign, Abbas Ansari gave a speech from the stage threatening to settle scores with state govt officials after the elections, which could have disrupted communal harmony. Therefore, it does not seem appropriate to give a lesser punishment to the accused."

Andhra Pradesh unveils plans to lead in quantum technologies and artificial intelligence
Vijayawada: Chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu said that Andhra Pradesh's quantum mission should lead the way in quantum technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) in the country. He stated that Amaravati's Quantum Valley should be designed in such a way that it will gain a distinct identity akin to Silicon Valley. Naidu held a meeting with experts from the IT sector and sought inputs from them for developing Quantum Valley ecosystem in Amaravati. Naidu announced that a workshop on the 'quantum mission' will be held in Vijayawada on June 30. Stressing the importance of meticulous attention to every aspect of Quantum valley's development, he directed officials to ensure that the proposed building becomes an iconic structure. Drawing a parallel, he said just as Hyderabad's Hi-Tech city building, which once stood out as a symbol of progress, the upcoming Quantum Valley in Amaravati must become equally iconic. The Quantum Valley is being set up with Rs 4,000 crore in two phases. The state's quantum mission aims to position Andhra Pradesh as a hub of quantum innovation, strengthen the knowledge economy, and become a key partner in the national quantum mission. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo While the chief minister leads the mission, an expert committee comprising IT minister, chief secretary, IT secretary, finance secretary, mission director, and others will constitute the composition of the mission.
