No master, no slave remained; only equals in the eyes of the Divine.'

Monsoon session: Speaker forms panel to inquire into grounds for Justice Varma's removal
NEW DELHI: Acting on a multi-party notice to begin the process of removal of Allahabad HC judge Justice Yashwant Varma, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday constituted a three-member committee to "inquire into the grounds for request for removal" of Justice Varma, who is linked to the cash-at-home scandal. The committee comprises SC judge Justice Arvind Kumar; Madras HC CJ Manindra Mohan Srivastava; and senior advocate at Karnataka HC B V Acharya. The Speaker, however, did not specify a timeline for the committee to submit its report, limiting himself to saying that it would submit its report "at the earliest" and the motion (for removal) will remain pending until the report is received. Birla had received the notice of motion for removal of Justice Varma, signed by 146 LS members from both governing and opposition parties, on July 21. The signatories include BJP member Ravi Shankar Prasad and leader of opposition in the House Rahul Gandhi. In their notice, the MPs pointed to the adverse findings of CJ of Delhi HC D K Upadhyay and former CJI Sanjiv Khanna about recovery of cash and the attempts to erase evidence. Referring to the motion that proposes to present the matter to the President for the removal of Justice Varma, Birla read out its content that said an "unblemished character and financial/intellectual integrity are foundation of trust placed by the common man in judiciary". The motion shared the facts of the case that came out after independent probe of the circumstances related to recovery and removal of burnt cash from the official premises under possession of Justice Varma. It said the facts related to the case, which point towards corruption, merit proceedings and processes under Article 124 (read with Articles 217 and 218) of the Constitution of India. "Parliament must speak in one voice on this matter and send a clear message about its resolve for zero tolerance towards corruption in public life," it said. Birla said finding the motion in order, he accepted it and constituted the committee in accordance with sub-section 2 of Section 3 of Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968.

Owaisi accuses BJP of fuelling hatred in country
Hyderabad: AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday alleged that the 'hatred atmosphere' created by the BJP in the country led to a mob desecrating the tomb of Nawab Abdul Samad in Fatehpur. "Anti-social elements belonging to Hindutva groups have been enjoying a free run in states like Uttar Pradesh and Assam. Tombs are being vandalised, and the sanctity of Dargahs is being destroyed in the presence of police. The police and UP govt are closing their eyes and ears whenever historic, religious and cultural properties of Muslims are being attacked and Hindutva groups are allowed to take the law into their hands," he alleged. Owaisi questioned why the police did not play a proactive role in stopping these miscreants. "In the presence of police, graves are being destroyed and vandalised. The police do nothing. If the same people were from the Muslim community, then imagine what would have happened?" he asked.

Protests continue over strays, detentions follow
New Delhi: Protests over Supreme Court's order on moving strays in Delhi-NCR to shelters continued for a second straight day, with 35-40 people briefly detained in Connaught Place area on Tuesday. The street outside Hanuman Mandir was packed with dog lovers and activists, many with placards and posters. While some protestors demanded justice for strays, others held up posters citing the "religious significance" of dogs. A large number of police and CRPF personnel were present at the spot. Cops said some of the protestors were detained as they did not have the required permission to protest at the spot. No FIR has been registered so far.

Swati, a lawyer who attended the protest, said, "The ABC rules, which talk about vaccination, proper procedure and sterilisation, have not been given any relevance." Others raised concerns about the conditions of the ABC centres currently in place. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If the Cat Bites You, Here's What It Really Means.

Animal rights activist Ambika Shukla, who was also present at the protest, said dogs have been part of human habitation for centuries. "We have loved dogs since ages. But, animals are soft targets. And with this move, we would be depriving an entire species of freedom, that too at the time of Independence Day. Public safety needs to be seen in perspective," she said. The decision, she noted, would have a larger impact, beyond Delhi-NCR: "It's not just a pan-India thing, but pan-world." Most of the dog lovers present at the protest said the solution presented by the apex court was difficult to implement and unfeasible. "If you create a proper solution, caregivers will help the govt. Shelters take time and money; dumping dogs doesn't work," said Indrani Raj, who was present to show her support for the community. Many others, while acknowledging the problem, demanded a "more practical" solution. "The aim is that dogs should be safe. If govt can handle it, then we would not have a problem," said Sunil Sabarwal, one of those present. FIR registered in India Gate stir Delhi Police on Tuesday registered a case in connection with the protest held at India Gate the previous day against the SC order. According to a senior police official, the case was registered under Section 223 of BNS, which pertains to disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant. Monday's protest initially began near the court premises and later moved to India Gate around 6.30pm, drawing the attention of the dog-loving community and activists. The demonstrators gathered to express their disapproval of the court's directive, urging authorities to reconsider measures affecting the welfare of stray dogs. To maintain public order, police eventually dispersed the protesters at India Gate and briefly detained 25-30 of them. However, they were released shortly afterward.
