Chief Justice of India
Bhushan Gavai will inaugurate country's first Constitution Preamble Park, established at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar School of Law, Nagpur University, at 11am on Saturday. He will also unveil a life-size statue of Bharat Ratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar.
Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari will attend the function.
Meanwhile, the DBA will be felicitating CJI Gavai on Friday while HCBA will organize similar event on Saturday evening.
Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Law College, as it was known earlier, is celebrating its centenary year. The Constitution Preamble Park has been established to familiarise citizens with the values of Indian Constitution and to instil these values in students.
At the centre of the Constitution Preamble Park, a statue of Bharat Ratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar holding the Constitution has been installed. The park features murals depicting 10 values from the Preamble of the Indian Constitution: Indian Constitution, We the People, Socialism, Secularism, Democracy, Republic, Justice, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. Replicas of the pillars of democracy — Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament House, the Supreme Court — and the Ashoka Pillar have also been created.

The Constitution Preamble Park spans 2 acres, with a grand entrance gate.
Other guests for the inauguration function include revenue minister and district guardian minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, social justice minister Sanjay Shirsat, Justice Nitin Sambre of the Bombay HC, chairman of the Constitution Preamble Park Construction Committee and former MLC Girish Gandhi, Maharashtra's chief secretary Sujata Saunik, acting vice-chancellor Madhavi Khode-Chaware, acting pro-VC Subhash Kondawar, and School of Law director Ravishankar Mor.
The central govt had declared the 125th birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar as a milestone year while the state govt designated it as the Year of Equality. The central govt directed universities to organise various initiatives to commemorate the milestone year. Nagpur University decided to erect a life-size statue of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and establish the Constitution Preamble Park.
The concept of the Preamble Park was conceived under the then VC SP Kane, then registrar Puran Meshram, and the then principal of the college, Shrikant Komawar.
A committee was formed on November 23, 2015, to raise funds through public contributions, university funds, and govt grants for the park's construction.
The committee, including retired Bombay HC Justice Kishor Rohee, then mayor and MLA Pravin Datke, MLA Dr Nitin Raut, former MLA Jogendra Kawade, Anil Sole, Prakash Gajbhiye, then deputy registrar Anil Hirekhan, and extended committee members MLA Mohan Mate and MLA Sameer Meghe, expedited the park's construction. The committee secured 2.63 crore from the Social Justice Department.

'Get your act together!' Donald Trump blasts internet service provider AT&T after delay in religious call; says he ‘will use another carrier next time'
US President Donald Trump The United States President, on Monday afternoon, expressed frustration online regarding his telecommunications service provider and said, "AT&T ought to get its act together." Donald Trump posted on Truth Social about his inability to commence a conference call with religious leaders nationwide due to technical issues. "AT&T is totally unable to make their equipment work properly," the Republican president said in a post. "This is the second time it's happened. If the Boss of AT&T, whoever that may be, could get involved — It would be good. There are tens of thousands of people on the line!" Subsequently, Trump posted, "AT&T ought to get its act together." AT&T representatives responded to the White House press secretary's post about Trump's concerns. "We've reached out to the White House and are working to quickly understand and assess the situation," AT&T stated. According to an anonymous White House official unauthorised to speak publicly, AT&T responded immediately. The issue was resolved, resulting in a 20-minute delay to the call. AT&T released a statement on X on Monday night explaining that "the disruption was caused by an issue with the conference call platform, not our network. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Unfortunately, this caused the delay, and we are working diligently to better understand the issue so we can prevent disruptions in the future." Trump frequently expresses his grievances on social media, targeting various entities from foreign leaders to media organisations. The delayed call was not listed on his official schedule. The call included 8,000 to 10,000 Christian, Jewish and Muslim faith leaders, marking the first in a series of regular White House communications with religious leaders. During the 15-minute call, the official noted that Trump discussed his tax reduction and spending cuts legislation, child tax credit improvements, the Israel-Iran ceasefire, African peace agreements, and his pardons for anti-abortion activists.

'The America Party': Elon Musk warns lawmakers against Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill'; says alternative needed if 'insane spending bill' passes
US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk US President Donald Trump and former DOGE chief Elon Musk seem to have locked horns again over the same topic, "Big Beautiful Bill." Tesla chief Elon Musk on Monday demanded the establishment of a new political movement and indicated his willingness to support primary opponents against all Republican Congressional members, saying people will have a voice if new party comes. Musk issued this bold statement, contingent upon Republican lawmakers passing President Trump's comprehensive domestic policy legislation '. Although Musk's statements often remain mere declarations, his criticism of Republicans has intensified considerably in recent days. On Monday, he indicated his readiness to establish a new "America Party" should the GOP legislation succeed. "If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day," he posted on X to his 220 million followers. "Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE." By evening, Musk offered concrete support for Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a notable opponent of Trump's bill. Despite various GOP groups expressing reservations about the legislative package, potentially endangering its passage, nearly every Republican in Congress supports some version. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Later, Musk stated that almost all House and Senate GOP members "will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth" - an ambitious claim even for the world's wealthiest individual, who contributed nearly $300 million to Republican candidates in the 2024 election. Musk specifically criticised two House Republicans known as fiscal conservatives within the House Freedom Caucus: Representatives Andy Harris of Maryland and Chip Roy of Texas. He also engaged in disagreement with Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma. He expressed renewed interest in establishing a new political party whilst criticising legislators from both parties, labelling them as members of the "porky pig party" due to government expenditure levels. Musk's association with the Republican Party has been brief and uncertain. A former Democrat, he began identifying as Republican only in 2022, initiating substantial public contributions to the party before last November's election. His notable dispute with Trump in early June accelerated his expressed interest in forming a new party. During this disagreement, he conducted an X poll asking: "Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?" Establishing a viable third party would require enormous effort, and on Monday, there was no evident indication that Mr. Musk or his advisers were taking concrete steps. Just five weeks previously, the technology billionaire had expressed different intentions, stating he would reduce his election spending in the 2026 cycle.

Canada U-turn on US tech taxes leaves Europe in the lurch
Canada dropping tax on US tech giants under pressure from US President Donald Trump is fuelling concern about the future of such levies in other countries, particularly in Europe. The first payment for Canada's Digital Services Tax (DST) was supposed to be due Monday. The tax, which was passed into law last year by the Trudeau govt, was meant to charge 3% of the digital services revenue a firm makes from Canadian users above $14.6 million in a calendar year. After Trump on Friday said he was ending all trade discussions with Canada, its finance minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said in a social media post late Sunday: "Rescinding the DST will allow the negotiations to make vital progress and reinforce our work to create jobs and build prosperity for all Canadians." C by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo urrently, about half of all European OECD countries have either announced, proposed, or implemented a digital services tax pending global action, said the Tax Foundation, a think tank which supports the introduction of such taxes. But the future of such measures is unclear after the Group of Seven nations agreed Saturday to exempt US multinational companies from a global minimum tax imposed by other countries. The US and fellow G7 nations signed off on an agreement aimed at averting a global tax war, by creating a "side-by-side" system that would exempt US companies from some elements of an existing global agreement. Reacting to the developments, Nobel winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said: "This is about more than trade - it's about whether democratically elected govts can regulate and tax powerful corporations or whether tech billionaires can dictate policy through political proxies."
