Happy Madras Day! Chennai's vibrant Madras Day celebrations, marking the city's 386th anniversary, unites us in love for our beloved Madras. Over 75 events—heritage walks through Fort St. George, insightful talks, lively discussions, soulful music, and captivating films—bring our city's rich history and culture to life. Chennaiites passionately embrace these festivities, celebrating the spirit of Namma Madras with pride and joy! T S Karthik, Chennai Sinister political designs of NDA Centre's proposed bills that allows the removal of the prime minister, a chief minister, or any Union or state minister who remains under arrest for 30 days on a criminal charge is undemocratic and it threatens the very foundation of Indian democracy and federalism. All political parties, regardless of ideology, must unite to oppose this bill to safeguard democratic values, protect public opinion, and prevent the misuse of institutions for political vendetta. Several opposition leaders holding key posts, including chief ministers and State Ministers, were jailed without bail for months. 'However, after prolonged trials, many of them were ultimately acquitted, proving that their arrests were politically motivated acts of revenge by the government. NDA government's move to push such a law is not only aimed at suppressing opposition politics but also at destabilizing state governments, weakening public opinion, and creating a pathway for the BJP to form governments by force. The three bills include the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, and the Jammu and Kashmir Re-organisation Amendment Bill Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill provides for the automatic removal of a prime minister, chief minister, or minister if they remain in judicial custody for 30 consecutive days. However, the offence for which they are held should be punishable for five years or more. Bhagwan Thadani, Mumbai Needless protest by Oppn Union Home Minister Amit Shah introduced in the Lok Sabha three Bills for the removal of Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and Ministers under arrest for 30 consecutive days on serious charges – are truly significant and important for the country as there is a lingering notion among people, whether the MLAs and Ministers who are neck deep in corruption are immune for the law of the land that is applicable to all citizens in the country. The Opposition needlessly opposed the move against the Bills, instead of being happy that the rule of law is the same for all. This shows the wicked mentality of the Congress members – along with AIMIM and Samajwadi party who spoke very emotionally against the Bills calling the unconstitutional etc., etc., the Opposition needs to have a relook into their own behaviour having wasted the time of the Parliament by sloganeering and shooting, without any answerability on their part. S Lakshmi, Hyderabad A campaign aimed to divide and destroy The recent campaign of 'Marwaris go back' that has erupted across Telangana is both shocking and deeply disturbing. What started as a small parking dispute has now been turned into a movement of hatred and division. It is painful to see that an entire community, which has contributed immensely to trade, business, and local livelihoods, is being unfairly targeted. India's Constitution gives every citizen the right to live and work in any part of the country. To demand that Marwaris leave Telangana is not only unconstitutional but also an attack on the values of unity and coexistence that bind our nation together. Such divisive campaigns hurt ordinary families, disrupt businesses, and spread fear where there should be peace. The government must take immediate steps to put an end to this dangerous rhetoric and ensure the protection of all communities. At the same time, civil society and responsible citizens should raise their voices against hatred and stand together for harmony. Telangana has always been known for its rich culture and inclusiveness, and it must not allow politics to destroy that spirit. It is the duty of every one of us to safeguard mutual respect and tolerance, for only then can our state progress in peace. Sarayu Katangoor, Hyderabad

HC seeks clarity on govt's move on Kaleshwaram project report
1 2 Hyderabad: The Telangana high court on Thursday sought clarity from the state govt on whether it intends to place the Justice PC Ghose Commission report on the Kaleshwaram project before the assembly first or whether it will act on the report and then lay it before the House for discussion. "This is a crucial question. We need clarity before proceeding further. We need not observe anything more without your answer," a division bench of Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice GM Mohiuddin told advocate general A Sudarshan Reddy, who appeared for the state. On his request to obtain instructions, the court adjourned the matter to Friday. The bench was hearing petitions filed by former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao and former minister T Harish Rao, who challenged the commission's notices and findings. Their counsels argued that the notices issued were defective as they were only summons and not notices as mandated under section 8B of the Commissions of Inquiry Act. They contended that this denial of due process vitiated the proceedings.

They stressed that they were not given an opportunity to cross-examine witnesses who deposed before the commission, a violation of their rights. "The commission was tasked with inquiring into the planning, design, and execution of the project—not into allegations of corruption or irregularities. Yet, imputations against the petitioners are being made public without due process," the counsels argued. Citing judgements in the cases of inquiries held on former IPS officer Kiran Bedi and former Union home minister LK Advani, the counsels sought to strike down the notices and also the findings of commission report. Countering these arguments, the AG submitted that the petitioners were well aware of the notices and even sought documents from the commission, which were duly provided. "A notice does not become invalid merely because a specific section is not cited," he argued. He also contended that since both petitioners are members of the state assembly, they would have the opportunity to participate in the debate on the commission's report once it is tabled in the House. Any judicial intervention at this stage, he cautioned, could impede legislative proceedings. "The commission was set up in the larger interest of the state to identify what went wrong. Its report must first be debated in assembly. Any orders here may pre-empt that process," the AG told the bench. Public domain controversy On the petitioners' grievance that the report had already entered the public domain, the AG denied it. He assured the court that the cabinet has decided to place the report before the assembly shortly for discussion. The petitioners, however, pressed for court protection, alleging that their reputations were being irreparably harmed. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
