Cong office is a temple, build one to show your contribution
Speaking at the foundation stone-laying ceremony for the Indira Gandhi Congress Bhavan in Mysuru, Shivakumar said, 'For Congress workers, the party office is a temple, a shrine to protect democracy. Whether you contribute Rs100 or Rs1,000, your support should be remembered by your family as your service to the party.'
The event coincided with Raksha Bandhan and Quit India Day. Shivakumar praised leaders like Tanveer Sait and Tiwari for their commitment, noting that properties have been transferred to the party in several constituencies.
He recalled that it has been 100 years since Mahatma Gandhi became Congress president, and Mallikarjun Kharge now holds the post, adding that the party aims to build offices in 100 locations across Karnataka.
He stressed that party offices should not be set up in legislators' homes but as permanent structures for the organisation.
He lauded the dedication of several MLAs who donated land or funds, citing examples from Maddur, Ron, and other constituencies.
Shivakumar also mentioned his own contribution of land in Ramanagara, where construction is underway with financial backing from ministers and local MLAs.

House Panel flags China presence in IOR, its nexus with Pakistan; calls for upgrading naval assets
Expressing serious concern over the increasing Chinese presence and influence in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), the Parliamentary Committee on External Affairs has recommended the upgradation of India's naval assets and boosting the country's anti-submarine warfare capabilities. The committee headed by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, while presenting its Eighth Report on the subject 'Evaluation of India's Indian Ocean Strategy' in Lok Sabha on Monday, also flagged China's 'strengthening ties with Pakistan'. It urged the government to take decisive action by enhancing India's maritime deterrence through advanced technology, including satellite surveillance. 'Of equal concern is the strengthening of the China-Pakistan naval nexus, which not only facilitates joint military exercises but also advances Pakistan's naval modernisation,' the panel said. 'This cooperation complicates the security situation further… and could destabilise the balance of power in the region.' On the strategic challenges faced by India in the IOR, the Ministry of External Affairs has stated that these include 'threats to maritime traffic, piracy, terrorism, concerns about freedom of navigation and overflights, and concerns of safeguarding sovereignty and of independence'. Another challenge is the growing presence of extra-regional players in the region, especially China gaining a foothold, MEA said. China has been undertaking several infrastructure projects focusing on ports, airports and logistics sectors for dual use purposes, in addition to deploying research and survey vessels in the region to… collect sensitive oceanography and marine data of the region, the MEA said. However, it added that to counter the challenges, India has been actively sensitising friendly countries through bilateral and regional forums in IOR to counter these activities. The Colombo Security Conclave, Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) and QUAD cooperation are few framework mechanisms, under which India is working closely with countries in the region and with like-minded countries, it said. The Ministry of Defence was also asked to enumerate the key challenges faced by India in the Indian Ocean Region and efforts taken to tackle them. In a written submission, the Ministry stated that the Indian Navy faces multifaceted challenges in the IOR, encompassing traditional security threats from Naval competition, territorial disputes and growing Chinese naval presence, alongside non-traditional challenges like piracy, trafficking, illegal fishing, maritime terrorism, natural calamities and complex geopolitical dynamics. As part of this strategy, China is also developing ports and other infrastructure facilities in the littoral countries of the IOR, including in the vicinity of India's maritime boundary and has a stated goal of becoming a maritime power, the MEA said. The committee was of the view that India's leadership role in IOR is both a natural and necessary extension of its geopolitical and economic interests and thereby, it should take a leading role in ensuring the security, stability, and prosperity of the region. The Committee recommended that India should frame a comprehensive and dynamic strategic engagement plan for all 35 littoral states of IOR, grounded in shared common interests. The Committee also noted that, despite the strategic importance of IOR for India's national security, economic growth, and geopolitical interests, there remains an absence of a dedicated inter-ministerial mechanism to effectively coordinate and streamline the various facets of India's Indian Ocean Strategy. In this regard, the Committee strongly recommended the creation of a comprehensive Inter-Ministerial Task Force, involving key ministries, such as External Affairs, Ministry of Defence, Commerce, Environment, Shipping, Finance and Home Affairs. This will address gaps in coordination, and facilitate efficient execution of India's strategic priorities in the Indian Ocean, the panel said.

Delhi HC orders reconstruction of 1984 anti-Sikh riots case records to ensure fair trial
The Delhi High Court has ordered the reconstruction of four-decade-old trial records in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, saying the victims' and society's right to a fair investigation and trial cannot be compromised by missing files or flawed earlier proceedings. The directive, issued to the trial court, concerns the acquittal of five men including former Congress councillor Balwan Khokhar in the killing of four Sikhs in Ghaziabad's Raj Nagar. The court said the available material revealed 'several lacunae' in both the investigation and trial. The murders took place on November 1, 1984, a day after then PM Indira Gandhi's assassination. Three women had alleged that their husbands and son were burnt alive. In 1986, the trial court acquitted Khokhar and four others, citing lack of evidence. Now, nearly 40 years later, a bench of justices Subramanian Prasad and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar WHEN has acted on petitions challenging the correctness of that verdict. The bench had earlier observed that the 1986 judgment appeared 'unsustainable' and noted it was being relied on in appeals by Khokhar, Captain Bhagmal, Girdhari Lal, Mahender Yadav, and Krishan Khokhar against their 2013 conviction for murdering five Sikhs in the same locality. Neither the state nor the victims had appealed the 1986 acquittal at the time. The court said the available material -- composite challans and the final judgments -- revealed 'several lacunae' in both the investigation and trial. Key eyewitnesses were never examined because summons were sent to addresses destroyed or abandoned during the riots. 'A composite challan has been filed for several cases, prima facie reflecting a perfunctory investigation,' the court said in its 66-page order, adding that the matter 'cannot be left to rest at this juncture.' Citing Supreme Court precedent in Abhai Raj Singh, the bench ruled that the trial court must reconstruct the records of Sessions Cases 31 and 32 of 1986, and only then can the High Court assess whether the original acquittals can stand. The matter will be heard next on September 1. 'The valuable rights of victims and the society at large to a free and fair investigation as also a real trial cannot be allowed to be compromised as a result of fait accompli,' the court observed. Senior advocate HS Phoolka, appearing for the complainants, argued that the 1986 investigation and trial were 'thoroughly inadequate and sketchy' and urged that the matters be remanded for retrial. Amicus curiae Siddharth Aggarwal asserted that the court, before giving any findings into the correctness of the judgements passed by the additional sessions judges, was under a mandate to call for the records, examine the same and only then proceed ahead in the matter. He submitted that the trial court records had been weeded out and it was inappropriate for the court to proceed further with the matter without getting the records. Khokhar's counsel had asserted that ordering a re-trial or further investigation, when the records have been weeded out, would violate his client's right to free trial. In a separate 26-page judgment, the same bench directed the authorities to widely publicise the various government compensation schemes available for victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. It further instructed them to verify victims' claims within 16 weeks of receiving them and to disburse the compensation within two months thereafter.
