Operation Sindoor raised India's stature globally: CM Yadav

Bhopal: Chief minister Mohan Yadav said on Tuesday that Operation Sindoor has raised India's stature at global stage. He has denied that the government hurriedly agreed for a ceasefire with Pakistan. The CM was addressing the media at the state BJP office on the completion of 11 years of Narendra Modi-led NDA govt at the Centre. He said that the appeal for a ceasefire came from Pakistan, which never happened in previous combats. "It meant that the backbone of the enemy was broken," Yadav added. Asked about the success of the nuclear weapons test in Pokhran in May 1998 despite the US sanctions threat and whether the Operation Sindoor ceasefire happened prematurely despite being in a strategic position, the CM said, "During the Pokhran nuclear test, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee was facing a different set of difficulties from the US and other countries. But the inner strength was such that our scientists were dressed in army clothes for the Pokhran test. Also, see the capture of Tiger Hill and the Kargil combat extended to three months. But even in those circumstances, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee ensured that we remained within our territory. At that time, we were running a govt with 25 other political parties and had our limitations." In contrast, he said that today, PM Narendra Modi keeps reiterating at every public meeting that Operation Sindoor is not yet over.

Our technology has changed so much that there is no need to cross our borders. Technology is so strong that our army was capable, with technology, to hit just a few feet away from their nuclear facility," the CM argued. "Hit us where you want to hit from. We have destroyed your airfields," he said. He stated that the Indian armed forces demolished the enemy and caused heavy casualties by striking at terrorist bases. He further explained that the most important point is that within a short period, the enemy's back was broken, and it was destroyed. "That is why the ceasefire appeal came from Pakistan. This time, Pakistan, which claims to be a nuclear power, asked for a ceasefire, which did not happen in the earlier combats. This is PM Modi's way of dealing with the enemy. Even after that, in every public meeting, our PM says that Operation Sindoor is not over; it will continue. This can be said only in utmost confidence while the Pakistan Prime Minister speaks the language of helplessness." He argued that after the US and Israel, India is the third country to enter enemy territory and destroy terrorist camps. CM Yadav said that in the modern world, wars will be fought using advanced technology. "In the new world, wars will be fought armed with technology, and after Operation Sindoor, India's stature has grown globally. Thanks to our army and PM Modi," the chief minister said. There are missiles that can hit in a range as far as 3000 to 5000 km, Mohan Yadav reasoned. He also said that the language of J&K leaders Omar Abdullah, Farooq Abdullah, the People's Democratic Party (PDP), and even the Hurriyat Conference changed after the abrogation of Article 370.

Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina's son visits India to meet her

New Delhi: Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina's US-based son, Sajeeb Ahmed Wazed, is in India to meet his mother, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Wazed, who has emerged as a key voice for the Awami League party, arrived in the country ahead of Eid-ul-Adha in order to celebrate the festival with his mother, currently living in self-exile in New Delhi, the people said on condition of anonymity. Hasina fled to India after the dramatic collapse of the Awami League government in the face of nationwide protests led by student groups last August. She is currently living in a safe house in the heart of the Indian capital. There was no word from Indian officials on the visit by Wazed, an American citizen who is also known by his nickname of Joy. 'Hasina's son is visiting India primarily to celebrate Eid with his mother. He is the first visitor she has received since she arrived in India in August last year,' a person close to the Awami League said. The people said there are currently no plans for Wazed to participate in any public events. Details of his itinerary too are not known, they said. The Indian side is yet to respond to a request from Bangladesh's interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus to extradite Hasina, who is facing charges in multiple criminal cases registered against her. Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal indicted Hasina earlier this month for ordering a police crackdown on protestors last year, and directed authorities to present her before the panel on June 16. Relations between the Indian government and Bangladesh's caretaker administration are currently at an all-time low and the two sides have clashed on Dhaka's handling of the repression on Bangladesh's religious minorities.

Probation must be pillar of juvenile justice, say experts

Recognising probation as a cornerstone of child rehabilitation was the central message of the first-ever national consultation on 'Strengthening Probation in the Juvenile Justice System in India,' held recently at the capital. Organised jointly by the Resource Cell for Juvenile Justice (RCJJ), a field action project of Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), and the Department of Social Work, University of Delhi, the event brought together key stakeholders from across 20 States and one union territory. Delivering the keynote address, retired Supreme Court judge and Chairperson of the UN Internal Justice Council, Justice Madan B. Lokur, lamented the neglect of probation in India's juvenile justice system. Justice Lokur said his first contact with probation officers took place in early 2000's in Canada where he had gone for judicial education programme for two weeks. He found that every probation officer there handled 30-35 probationers. He said, in India, probation had not been given the importance it should have been given and that the Probation of Offenders Act had not been properly implemented. He commented on the understaffing in the Indian juvenile justice system, where one probation officer is responsible for 150-500 children. Bharat Parashar, Member Secretary, National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) said the system should give every child a second chance, and it should not re-traumatise them. He said NALSA was committed to this cause, and the Probation Officer could go a long way in mentoring children. Held as a satellite event to the recently concluded 5th World Congress on Justice with Children, the consultation saw active participation from principal magistrate, Juvenile Justice Boards (JJB), social work members on the JJB, probation officers, legal-cum-probation officers, deputed government officers, civil society organisations, academicians, research scholars, and a few independent lawyers. Over two days, panel discussions explored the socio-legal dimensions of juvenile justice. The sessions emphasised, 'the need for probation to be acknowledged as a pillar of rehabilitation for children in conflict with the law and strengthen it by looking at concerns like the ratio between probation and probationers, skill sets, and training required'. Prof. Bipin Jojo, Dean, School of Social Work, TISS, spoke about how the legal structure of probation in India was developed at TISS in the early 1950s, and from then to now, TISS had been committed to pioneering the cause of strengthening probation in India. Prof. Sanjoy Roy, Head, Department of Social Work, DU, emphasised that the collaboration of TISS and the Department of Social Work, DU is also historic as it has been the first time that the two colleges of social work have come together and organised this national consultation on strengthening probation.
