Telangana BJP to launch booth-level outreach from June 8 to highlight Modi govt's achievements
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 1 (ANI): Union Minister and Telangana BJP president G Kishan Reddy held a meeting at the party's state office in Hyderabad on Sunday to review ongoing and upcoming party programmes.
He said the BJP would organise a series of outreach events from June 8 to June 18 to highlight the Central government's achievements.
Reddy emphasised that over the past 11 years, the BJP-led government at the Centre has delivered in multiple areas, from basic sanitation to space exploration.
'Under the leadership of PM Modi, NDA-BJP won the Lok Sabha elections three times in a row with the blessings of the people. In these 11 years, many works have been done towards making a corruption-free India a global power through good governance. PM Modi's government has worked in different areas. Many works have been done from building toilets in a poor household in a village to hoisting the country's flag on the moon,' Reddy said.
He said the upcoming booth-level events will serve as a medium to connect directly with the people.
'From 8th June to 18th June, we will organise programs at every polling booth among the people and will go door-to-door to tell the people about the work done by the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi towards building a new India,' he said.
Earlier, in a post on X, Reddy highlighted how he mentioned the various developmental initiatives and how the government has ensured that Centrally Sponsored Schemes and projects 'reach the deserving population.'

Under the leadership of Hon'ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji, we have ensured that all the Centrally Sponsored Schemes and projects reach the deserving population, while contributing to grassroots-level development and empowerment of all,' he wrote.
The meeting was attended by several senior leaders, including BJP state General Secretary (Organisation) Chandrashekar, Mahabubnagar MP D K Aruna, and the BJP national vice president. (ANI)

Muslim Personal Law Board will not make Waqf Act an election issue but will take a call to intensify protests
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has been organising demonstrations to protest against the Waqf Amendment Act, 2025 in several parts of the country, including in Hyderabad, for several weeks. The Board has sought to include women, and people belonging to other faiths in the protests, even as its president Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, in an exclusive interview with Syed Mohammed, asserts that their struggle is not against Hindus, but against the government which is trying to wrest lands and properties from the control of Muslims. Edited excerpts from an interview: Q: What are your key contentions against the Waqf Amendment Act, 2025? It is our belief that the law was brought to grab the properties of Muslims. The law makes waqf properties vulnerable. The concept of waqf by user —meaning properties that have been historically used as mosques, dargahs, graveyards or madrasas — that are being used for a specific purpose, even if no documents are available, they will be considered waqf. Religious structures often predate documentation. For example, Delhi's Jama Masjid and Hyderabad's Mecca Masjid were built centuries ago. If masjid committees are now expected to produce ownership documents, it sets an impossible standard. As regards claims by the government, we believe they have a habit of lying. They can claim any land parcel. Most waqf cases are against the government. So, all waqf cases that are against the government will become disputed. Similarly, disputes were created over other Muslim places of worship, and to create them one does not need evidence. Second, the amendment says that any waqf property under the custody of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will no longer be considered waqf. Many historic mosques that serve both religious and public, as sites of tourism, interests may now function only at the government's discretion, depending on whether and at what frequency they permit namaz (prayers). Thirdly, the law seeks to dilute protection under the law of limitation. Thousands of acres will stand risk of exclusion from waqf (due to adverse possession). Many land parcels are in unauthorised possession of the government, of Hindus and even Muslims. Given the BJP's usual firmness in passing laws, how do you plan to engage the public? Demonstrations such as 'lights off' and 'human chain' were largely symbolic. Will future protests take a different form? It's true that the BJP rarely backtracks. It believes in dictatorship. It does not listen to the public. As seen with the farm laws, these were withdrawn after several farmers died. The AIMPLB's protests will be within the bounds of law. They will be peaceful. Our fight is not against our Hindu brothers but against this government. If the government remains indifferent, our working committee will decide the next course. Whether it is courting arrest, a jail bharo movement, or peaceful roadblocks. We're encouraged by the support of many Hindu brothers, and civil rights groups who stand with us. Q: The BJP claims this law will ensure transparency and empower Muslim women. How do you respond to these claims? We say that let there be a public debate. Let the Prime Minister or Home Minister attend. We'll welcome them. If that's not possible, send the Law or Minority Affairs Minister to sit with an AIMPLB delegation. Let them explain how this law benefits Muslims, women, or Pasmandas. They won't be able to. They claim Pasmandas are being denied rights. Are they not praying in masjids, which are waqf? In Islam, all Muslims are equal. Q: But caste-based discrimination among Muslims, as is the case with Pasmandas, has been studied and documented. Those who are victims of discrimination know what they've been through. Yes, there are two aspects — economic and social. Economically, Muslims are among the most backward, as various government-appointed commissions have found. Socially, some refer to Ashraf, Ajlaf, and Arzal. But these words are not found in any Islamic texts on jurisprudence. In Islam, a Syed girl can marry a non-Syed man, and no aalim will declare the nikah invalid. If the imam of a masjid is an Ansari, whom some may look down upon, but we do not, a Syed will still pray behind him. It is possible that these negative practices have entered the Muslim community on account of shared experiences, or influences from others. But Islam rejects caste. We look at it as a social evil. Q: The government has contended in courts of law, including in the case of waqf, that of 'essential religious' practice. The government is presenting this in a wrong manner. Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) should not be interpreted by the government. The opinion of those who are experts of fiqh should be taken. Essential religious practice encompasses all that is proved by Quran and hadith (tradition of Prophet Muhammad). What ramification will Act have, especially when it comes to States that are soon going for elections as is the case with Bihar? AIMPLB does not have anything to do with politics. We neither support, or oppose any party. We will not make this an election issue.. As regards one party supporting (the then Bill), or another opposing it, it is unfortunate many political leaders do not have a conscience. The AIMPLB has stressed on unity among faiths as regards demonstrations, and called upon varied groups to fight against the Act. If you see, a Jain temple was demolished recently in Mumbai. Secondly Buddhists in Bodh Gaya have been demonstrating. They want members of their own faiths in the management. The problem will exacerbate. It began with minorities, including Jains, Buddhists, and Sikhs. In fact, I am certain that it will eventually affect Hindus as well.

Karnataka to seek time with PM over Almatti issue
The Karnataka government will seek time with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Jal Shakti Minister C.R. Patil to discuss the issue of the Almatti reservoir across the Krishna in view of the objection raised by the Maharashtra government over raising the dam's height. 'After Chief Minister Siddaramaiah responds to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's letter, I will seek time from the Prime Minister and the Jal Shakti Minister,' Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar told presspersons here on Tuesday. In the next two days, Mr. Siddaramaiah is expected to reply to the objection from the Maharashtra Chief Minister, he said here, after inspecting the venue where Kempe Gowda Jayanti is to be held this year. Mr. Shivakumar said, 'We will also share the Chief Minister's letter with all the members of Parliament [from the State] so that they can take it up in the House. We will seek an appointment with the Prime Minister after that. It is important that all of us safeguard the State's interests together.' Meanwhile, he said the government would lay the foundation stone for the Kempe Gowda Development Authority on June 27 and celebrate Kempe Gowda Jayanti. A museum on Kempe Gowda will also come up on the allotted land, he said. 'Our local leaders have suggested swapping the allotted land with the land belonging to the Social Welfare Department since it also has an auditorium. A railway line will also pass through this place, and a station will be built there. This will be taken up in the Cabinet meeting,' he added. Asked if the land was too far from the city, he said, 'Bengaluru has grown now, where else can we allot the land? No one is willing to part with the golf course and racecourse.'

Govt Likely To Bring Impeachment Motion Against Justice Yashwant Varma In Parliament: Sources
Last Updated: Government sources told CNN-News18 that they would take opposition parties into confidence before taking any step against Justice Yashwant Varma The Union government is likely to bring in Parliament an impeachment motion against Allahabad High Court judge Yashwant Varma, who was indicted by a Supreme Court-appointed probe panel after the discovery of a huge sum of burnt cash from his official residence in the national capital. Government sources told CNN-News18 that they would speak to all opposition parties before taking any step against Justice Varma, who faced criticism from political parties across the spectrum. Sources within the government have indicated that an impeachment proceeding could be considered during the upcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament, with Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal moving the motion. Verma was recently transferred from the Delhi High Court back to the Allahabad High Court following the controversy. According to sources, Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna had written to both the President and the Prime Minister recommending Justice Verma's impeachment, following an internal inquiry by a Supreme Court-appointed panel. While the inquiry reportedly indicted the judge, the panel's findings were not made public. CJI Khanna had also privately urged Justice Verma to resign, but he declined to do so, the sources said. An official, however, clarified that no formal proceedings have yet begun against the judge. Justice Verma has maintained his innocence and denied any involvement with the cash discovered after a fire at his outhouse. An impeachment motion against a judge can be introduced in either House of Parliament, but it must meet specific criteria to proceed. In the Rajya Sabha, the motion requires the backing of at least 50 members, while in the Lok Sabha, it needs the support of 100 members. If the motion secures a two-thirds majority in the House where it is introduced, the Speaker or the Chairman refers it to the Chief Justice of India (CJI). The CJI then nominates a sitting Supreme Court judge and a Chief Justice of a High Court to form part of a three-member investigation committee. The government nominates the third member—an 'eminent jurist"—to complete the panel. According to government sources, the motion will include findings from the committee that looked into the incident involving bundles of half-burnt cash discovered at the judge's residence during his tenure with the Delhi High Court. The government is expected to seek consensus across party lines and will consult the opposition before finalising the draft motion.
