Centre's online gaming Bill likely to render TNOGA redundant
CHENNAI: The union government's new online gaming Bill passed in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, which bans games of skill and chance played using real money will in effect render state regulatory bodies like the Tamil Nadu Online Gaming Authority (TNOGA) redundant, say observers. This is despite legislations on betting and gambling falling under the state government's jurisdiction as per Entry 34 of the state list in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, does this by stating that online money gaming platforms operate across states and national borders, including offshore servers, which transforms this from a state subject to a 'matter of national importance' involving cross-border regulation, digital finance and cybersecurity. Created in August 2023, the five-member TNOGA has been actively cracking down on online gambling websites and apps, regulating games of skill by coming up with strict rules like making KYC mandatory for players and banning minors, and acting against advertisements of offshore gambling sites or apps in Tamil Nadu. Though a work in progress, industry observers say, this model has seen a considerable degree of success. For instance, the latest 2025 regulations for Real Money Games even restricted login for gamers from 12am to 5am, which sources said was complied by many gaming companies. The model had met with relative success and was being studied by other states to implement their own regulatory bodies, sources said.

Bill will sound death knell for democracy: VCK president Thol Thirumavalavan
CHENNAI: VCK president and Chidambaram MP Thol Thirumavalavan on Thursday urged DMK president and Chief Minister MK Stalin to take the lead in uniting democratic forces across the country and even consider a nationwide bandh to oppose the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill and two other Bills introduced by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Lok Sabha. In a statement, Thirumavalavan described the Bill, which seeks to remove the prime minister or chief ministers from office if they are arrested on serious charges and remain in custody for 30 consecutive days, as a 'fascist conspiracy' that bypasses parliamentary norms and poses a direct assault on the Constitution. 'If passed, these Bills will sound the death knell for parliamentary democracy,' he said, accusing the BJP-led union government of misusing central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate, Income Tax department, and CBI for political vendetta. Similarly. Tamilaga Valvurimai Katchi president and Panruti MLA T Velmurugan, another ally of the DMK, also opposed the Bills, saying they violate principles of natural justice. 'Stripping posts on the basis of allegations exposes the authoritarian intent of the union government,' he said, demanding their withdrawal. He urged all political parties and democratic organisations to unite in opposing the Bills.

Kishan Reddy defends landmark constitutional amendment, slams opposition's stance
Hyderabad/New Delhi: Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, defending the central government's introduction of the 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, said the proposed amendment mandates the automatic removal from office of any Prime Minister, Union Minister, Chief Minister, or State Minister if they are arrested and imprisoned for 30 days. The bill is set to be discussed in the Rajya Sabha today and will subsequently be reviewed by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC). Addressing the media in the national capital on Thursday, he called it a 'historic reform to uphold constitutional morality.' Reddy emphasized that the move has received widespread support from intellectuals, the media, and the public. He contrasted the provision with existing rules for government employees, who are suspended after 48 hours of imprisonment, and questioned why elected ministers should be exempt from similar accountability. Reddy criticized the Congress party's reaction in the Lok Sabha, describing their stance as 'unfortunate' and 'hypocritical.' He reminded the press of past instances where leaders resigned on moral grounds, citing LK Advani's decision during the 1995 hawala case and Amit Shah's resignation in 2005 during the Sohrabuddin encounter investigation. He also referenced the Jharkhand CM's resignation under similar circumstances. 'The framers of the Constitution never imagined that ministers would govern from jail,' Reddy said, pointing to the example of former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal allegedly conducting meetings from prison. He also mentioned Tamil Nadu Minister Senthil Balaji, who remained in office despite being jailed. Reddy accused the Congress of lacking ethical standards, referencing the 39th Constitutional Amendment under Indira Gandhi and the ordinance allegedly brought to protect Lalu Prasad Yadav. 'Now Rahul Gandhi and Lalu Prasad stand together on the same platform. This is the culture of the Congress party,' he said. On broader governance, Reddy reiterated the BJP's commitment to moral politics and constitutional integrity. He cited reforms such as the Citizenship Amendment Act, the repeal of triple talaq, and the overhaul of colonial-era laws under the Indian Code. 'We didn't enter politics for power. We came to serve the nation,' he asserted.
