AAP govt in Punjab built on foundation of lies, alleges Haryana CM Saini
ANI
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini launched a scathing attack on the Punjab Government today, alleging that the AAP government in Punjab has been built on a foundation of lies.
He said the government "has neither undertaken any meaningful work for public welfare nor does it have the will to do so".
Speaking to reporters in Sangrur, Punjab, CM Nayab Singh Saini alleged that the Punjab government has completely failed to fulfill the promises it made during the elections.
He said that their "deception has already been exposed in Delhi, as lies cannot survive for long".
Saini said that in Punjab, too, "public support for the AAP government has eroded, and people are ready to show them the door".
According to a release, the Chief Minister said that for the past 11 years, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, public welfare schemes are being effectively implemented in Haryana. The trust of the people in the government's policies and working style has only grown stronger.
Referring to the Ludhiana by-election, he said that people there have made up their minds that Punjab too should move ahead swiftly under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
The Chief Minister alleged that the Punjab Government is not implementing the Central Government's welfare schemes, depriving the public of their benefits. In contrast, the Haryana Government is procuring all crops from farmers at Minimum Support Price (MSP). He urged the Punjab Government to show concern for its farmers and ensure they receive fair prices for their produce.
He said that the Haryana Government has provided over Rs. 15,500 crore as compensation to farmers for crop damage due to natural disasters over the past 10 years. Additionally, vegetable farmers are receiving compensation under the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana. People in Haryana are also benefiting from the Ayushman Bharat scheme, whereas the people of Punjab remain deprived of its benefits, said the Chief Minister.

‘Deport now, appeal later': India added to UK's fast-track deportation list for foreign criminals
India has been added to the United Kingdom's expanded 'Deport Now Appeal Later' list of 23 countries, under which foreign criminals will be deported before they can appeal against the decision. Prime Minister Narendra Modi shakes hands with Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer during a bilateral meeting, in London on Thursday. (ANI) The UK home office announced on Sunday that the scheme's scope will nearly triple — from eight countries to 23. The move is part of a broader crackdown on rising migration and delays in the removal of offenders. Foreign nationals from these countries will be deported once sentenced, with any appeals heard remotely via video technology from overseas. Explaining the rationale behind the decision, the country's home secretary Yvette Cooper said, 'For far too long, foreign criminals have been exploiting our immigration system, remaining in the UK for months or even years while their appeals drag on. That has to end,' reported news agency PTI. She added, 'Those who commit crimes in our country cannot be allowed to manipulate the system, which is why we are restoring control and sending a clear message that our laws must be respected and will be enforced.' Who all are on the list Previously, the list included Finland, Nigeria, Estonia, Albania, Belize, Mauritius, Tanzania and Kosovo. The expanded list now adds India, Angola, Australia, Botswana, Brunei, Bulgaria, Canada, Guyana, Indonesia, Kenya, Latvia, Lebanon, Malaysia, Uganda and Zambia. The UK government said discussions are ongoing with other nations to join the scheme. 'We are leading diplomatic efforts to increase the number of countries where foreign criminals can be swiftly returned, and if they want to appeal, they can do so safely from their home country,' said UK foreign secretary David Lammy. According to the home office, the new approach will reduce the burden on British taxpayers, as offenders from these countries previously remained in the UK long after completing their prison sentences. Around 5,200 foreign nationals have been deported since July 2024 — a 14 per cent rise over the previous year. Meanwhile, official data shows foreign offenders make up about 12 per cent of the UK's prison population, with annual prison costs averaging GBP 54,000 per inmate. (With PTI inputs)

Madras HC to hear today plea against Chennai corporation's private sanitation contract
The Madras High Court will on Tuesday hear a petition opposing the Greater Chennai Corporation's decision to hand over sanitation work in two city zones to a private contractor -- a move that has triggered intense protests from workers. On June 16, the Corporation awarded a Rs 276 crore cleaning services contract for Zones 5 and 6 to a private firm. The Workers' Rights Movement, led by its president K. Bharathi, moved the High Court seeking to quash the resolution, arguing that the decision threatens the livelihood and job security of thousands of workers. According to the petition, 2,242 permanent workers are to be transferred to other zones, while 1,953 temporary workers will be brought under the contractor's control. The petitioner contends that these employees will be subject to the contractor's terms, risking arbitrary dismissal, lower wages, and loss of benefits. It is further alleged that the outsourcing decision was made without mandatory approval from the labour court, despite a related case being sub judice. The move has sparked more than 10 days of continuous demonstrations outside the Corporation's Ripon Building headquarters, with sanitation workers and unions demanding that the contract be cancelled. Protesters accuse the civic body of ignoring their pleas and prioritising commercial considerations over employee welfare. When the matter came up on Monday, Advocate General P.S. Raman, representing the Corporation, requested additional time to submit a revised counter-affidavit. He said corrections had been made to an earlier version, and the updated document required the Commissioner's signature before filing. The petitioner's counsel opposed any further delay, telling the court that 'nearly 2,000 workers have been thrown out like garbage' and were in urgent need of relief. The counsel stressed that prolonging the process would deepen the hardship of those affected. After hearing both sides, the court directed that the matter be listed for hearing on Tuesday and ordered the Corporation to file its reply without fail. The case's outcome could have far-reaching consequences for the city's approach to sanitation management and the future of public sector jobs in the civic workforce.
