Lok Sabha nod to bill to provide reservation to STs in Goa assembly amid din over Bihar SIR
New Delhi, The Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed a bill to provide reservation to Scheduled Tribes in the Goa assembly, even as opposition protests demanding a discussion on the revision of Bihar electoral rolls continued unabated. Lok Sabha nod to bill to provide reservation to STs in Goa assembly amid din over Bihar SIR Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal moved 'The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2025' for consideration and passage amid din in the House. The legislation was passed by a voice vote. Meghwal said over the previous sessions, some amount of discussion on the draft law has already taken place. After his opening remarks outlining the features of the bill, it was passed without further discussion. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Monday that the government will be compelled to push for Parliament's approval for its legislative agenda if the Opposition continues to obstruct its smooth functioning with protests. Incidentally, the bill was introduced in the Lower House on this day in 2024 and has been pending since then. This is the first bill to be passed by the Lok Sabha in the ongoing Monsoon session, which has seen disruptions by the Opposition on various issues, including the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar. After the passage of the bill, Sandhya Ray, who was in the chair, adjourned the proceedings for the day as protests by Opposition MPs continued unabated. According to the bill, the population of the Scheduled Tribes has increased considerably in Goa as per the 2011 census vis-a-vis the 2001 census figures. It noted that a "peculiar situation" has arisen in the state, wherein the population of the STs vis-a-vis the population of the SCs is considerably higher according to the Primary Census Abstract, 2011 for Goa. The total population was 14,58,545; the population of SCs was 25,449, and the population of STs was 1,49,275. "But no seats are reserved for the STs and they are unable to avail the constitutional benefit of reservation..." As of now, no seat in the 40-member Goa assembly is reserved for the ST community, while one seat is reserved for Scheduled Castes.

US House panel subpoenas Clintons over Epstein as pressure builds on Trump administration
The subpoenas come at a time the White House has been encountering rising pressure to be more transparent about the Epstein files— documents known to contain names of high-profile individuals related to the disgraced financier's crimes read more Bill and Hillary Clinton have been subpoenaed in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Reuters The US House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Bill and Hillary Clinton to record their testimony on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, letters posted on its website on Tuesday (August 5) showed. The former president and former secretary of state are two of the many former Democratic and Republican government officials that were probed by investigators in a major escalation of the controversy surrounding the inquiry into Epstein, who reportedly died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The subpoenas come at a time the White House has been encountering rising pressure to be more transparent about the Epstein files— documents known to contain names of high-profile individuals related to the disgraced financier's crimes. Pivots by the Justice Department department, such as saying that Epstein had no secret client list, and confirming that he had died by suicide and that his case was effectively closed, angered many people, including Trump supporters who believe Epstein was murdered in a cover-up. Trump has urged his supporters to drop demands for the Epstein files, but Democrats in the Republican-led Congress, with some support from majority lawmakers, have also been seeking a floor vote to force their release. 'By your own admission, you flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane four separate times in 2002 and 2003,' Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer wrote to former president Clinton. 'During one of these trips, you were even pictured receiving a 'massage' from one of Mr. Epstein's victims. The White House has been seeking to redirect public attention from Epstein, who was a financier and friend to numerous high-profile people, including Trump. His 2019 prison cell death supercharged a conspiracy theory long promoted by many Trump supporters that Epstein had run an international pedophile ring and that elites wanted to make sure he never revealed their secrets. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD After Trump returned to power in January, his administration promised to release Epstein case files. However, a report by Wall Street Journal reported that Pam Bondi had informed Trump in May that his name appeared several times in the Epstein files. This, against the backdrop of sudden reversal of claims about the Epstein files' existence, have solidified discourse around Trump's involvement in sex crimes. With inputs from AFP
