Remembering Satyapal Malik: At Khatkar toll plaza, khaps to salute governor who became their voice
Jind: The khap panchayats of Haryana have announced that they would be holding a ceremony in the memory of former governor Satyapal Malik at Khatkar toll plaza on Sunday — the venue being a symbolic reference to the deceased BJP leader's support to farmers during the 2020-21 protests. Harikesh Kaabarchaa, the head of Khatkar Khap, said farm organisations and members of at least another three khap panchayats — Kandela, Dharan, Chahal — would participated in the event at Jind, which is being organised as no state honour was extended to Malik on his cremation. "Khatkar toll plaza has been chosen as it was the epicentre of the protests in Jind during the 13-month-long stir against the three agri-marketing laws," said Kaabarchaa. Kaabarchaa added it was at the same toll plaza where Malik had supported the wrestlers' protest against Brij Bhushan Singh. "At the same plaza, when he was a serving governor, Malik had shared his personal experiences and strongly criticised BJP govt over Pulwama and other issues. His connection with farmers and khaps began strengthening after that gesture of support," added Kaabarchaa. In 2023, a day after being summoned by the CBI in a corruption case, Malik, who served as governor of four states, went to surrender at Delhi's RK Puram police station. "At the time, khap leaders and farm groups' representatives from western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan visited his Delhi residence and accompanied him to the police station," said Kaabarchaa. He added they had also honoured Malik at Kandaela village of Jind district in 2022, after the agri-marketing laws were repealed in Dec 2021. "It is heartbreaking that a man who was always saluted during his tenure in office was denied his final salute by the govt," Kaabarchaa added. "This is why we are going to pay our tributes to him like this. This is our salute to the man who became the voice of farmers, soldiers, and wrestlers.

Dalit women survivors seek separate law for caste crimes
1 2 Madurai: Dalit women survivors of caste violence, especially murder of spouses, have emphasised their demand for a separate law to deal with crimes involving inter-caste love marriages or relationships. In several such cases, the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act may not be applicable, they said. At a programme organised by the dalit rights NGO, Evidence, in Madurai on Saturday, activist and survivor Kausalya said that even now, the state and central govts do not have any data on caste ('honour') killings. Her husband Shankar was murdered in a gruesome instance of caste violence in 2016. "When there is no separate law to deal with these cases, some of the accused named remain free. Every time a caste killing happens, I feel depressed and saddened. Recently, I reached out to the girl who was Kavin's lover as I knew the pain she must have been feeling," she added. When a woman is subjected to caste crimes directly or indirectly by physical or verbal means by her own family, she is often forced to toe their line due to fear. "Only when the perpetrator is from another caste and the victim is SC, can the SC/ST Act be invoked. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Write Better, Work Smarter With This Desktop App Grammarly Install Now Undo Convictions are also difficult to get. A separate law is the need of the hour," said A Kathir, executive director, Evidence. Two other survivors, Arulmozhi and Rekha, also shared their experiences of facing caste violence, and stressed how important it was for dalit women to stand together. Rekha said she is working hard and studying to complete engineering. They said mustering the courage to speak out against the violence is more important than worrying about what society thinks. A S Kumari, chairperson, state commission for women, stressed the need for women from marginalised backgrounds to speak out about crimes and issues they face or witness regularly. "In cases of domestic violence as well, we see many women coming forward to complain at police stations. But the husband comes out of jail in a while and his wife is subjected to abuse again, and stripped of freedom. We need stricter laws. Only when women come together, society can change," she said.

Siddaramaiah lays foundation for new Congress office in Mysuru
Mysuru: Chief minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday laid the foundation stone for a new Congress office in Mysuru. The CM laid the foundation stone for the new Congress office, officially named Indira Congress Bhavana, at the site of the party's existing office premises. He appealed to party workers to contribute towards the construction of the new office. "Even a contribution of Rs 500 can make a difference," he said, urging everyone to donate according to their capacity. He also asked them to ensure the construction of the building is completed within a year. During the event, party workers attempted to celebrate the CM's birthday by organising a cake-cutting, but he declined, stating, " I have never cut a cake and I won't do it now." He did, however, accept a felicitation from the workers at their request. Deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar later joined in the felicitation. Shortly after the foundation stone was laid, the CM left for Varuna. Shivakumar, in his address, described the upcoming building as "a temple for Congress workers and a guardian of democracy." He encouraged every party worker to contribute — even if it was just Rs 100 — towards the project. He also urged all Congress MLAs from Mysuru district to donate funds for the initiative. The DCM stressed the importance of establishing dedicated Congress offices in every taluk and said he had urged the CM and district minister HC Mahadevappa to prioritise this. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Are Unstoppable: The Most Beautiful and Talented Female Athletes Undo Speaking at the function, Narasimharaja MLA Tanveer Sait referred to Shivakumar as his political guru.

Congressman Nagabhushan Tiwari, who has safeguarded the property ever since, was felicitated on the occasion.
