Waqf law protest likely to draw large crowd today
1 2 Patna: Patna is set to witness a major mobilisation on Sunday as Muslims from across the country are expected to gather at Gandhi Maidan to voice strong opposition to the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. The event, titled 'Waqf bachao, dastoor bachao conference', is being organised by Imarat-e-Shariah, which operates in Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha. The newly enacted waqf law by the NDA-led central govt is currently under legal scrutiny in the Supreme Court. Critics argue it undermines religious autonomy, infringes upon fundamental rights and violates established legal principles and Supreme Court judgments. "The aim of the conference is to raise a united and dignified voice against the recently enacted Waqf Act, 2025, which is widely seen as trampling upon the Islamic principles of waqf," said a press note issued by the organisers. Fazle Rahma Rahmani, media convener of Imarat-e-Shariah, said, "We cannot give an exact number, but the mobilisation teams have estimated a turnout of around 10 lakh. People are coming not because of prominent personalities, but to register their absolute rejection of the Act." He added that the headquarters of the Imarat-e-Shariah at Phulwarisharif, Patna, is coordinating the effort. "Maulana Ahmad Wali Faisal Rahmani is the chief organiser. Separate mobilisation teams were formed for Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha," he added. Participants began arriving in Patna from Saturday morning. Arrangements have been made for their accommodation in mosques, dharmashalas and community halls across the city. Volunteers will assist with crowd movement and logistics throughout Sunday. "The conference represents a peaceful, democratic and constitutional expression of the community's collective will to demand the rollback of the draconian legislation," the organisers said, adding that the event also carries significant political messaging.

Joint Council to hold marches on July 1 demanding measures for 12th pay revision
The Joint Council, the CPI service organisation, has announced marches to the Secretariat and the district headquarters on July 1 demanding the LDF government to kick off the process for pay revision of government employees. Pointing out that the State government has, as a 'model employer,' the duty to ensure the welfare of government employees, the Joint Council has urged the State government to implement the pay revision with effect from July 1, 2024. The term of the 11th Pay Commission, whose recommendations were implemented in 2021, had ended on June 30, 2024. The Joint Council noted that the pay revision every five years was implemented by the C. Achutha Menon government in 1973. The first revision came five years later in 1978. All Communist governments in Kerala since then have followed the five-year model, while the Congress-led governments have sought to make it a matter of dispute, the Joint Council said. The Joint Council is organising protest marches as the LDF government is yet to form the 12th Pay Revision Commission and launch the procedures for the new pay revision. Joint Council general secretary K.P. Gopakumar will inaugurate the Secretariat march on July 1.

Kolkata gangrape case: Another TMC leader Madan Mitra makes SHOCKING remark, says ‘If that girl had not gone there…'
Kolkata gangrape case: Trinamool Congress leader Madan Mitra on Saturday said that the gangrape incident in Kolkata has sent a message to girls that they should not go to their college if it's closed and someone is calling them to offer them a position in the student unit. A female student was allegedly gang-raped inside the South Calcutta Law College in Kolkata's Kasba on Wednesday, June 25. 'This incident has sent a message to girls that if someone calls you when the college is closed offering you a position in the unit, then don't go, nothing good will come of it. If that girl had not gone there, this wouldn't have happened,' the TMC leader was quoted as saying by ANI. Blaming the law student for not informing before going out, Mitra said that if she did so the incident would not have happened. 'If she had informed someone before going or had taken a couple of friends with her, then this wouldn't have happened. The one who committed this dirty deed took advantage of the situation,' he said. Mitra's comments comes after TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee, already under fire for his 'boys will be boys' comment, said: 'If a friend rapes a friend, how can you ensure security?' The Trinamool leader distanced the party from the prime accused Manojit Mishra — a TMCP leader. 'TMC is a big party. Someone or the other is associated with Trinamool everywhere. We get our photos taken with everyone, but what's inside a person, only a psychologist can tell,' Mitra said. 'People get their photos clicked with TMC leaders and then start calling themselves TMC leaders too,' he added. The Kolkata police has formed a 5-member Special Investigation Team to probe into the Kolkata gangrape case involving the law student. The latest development came as the opposition parties mounted pressure on the ruling Trinamool Congress-led West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and demanded her resignation and security for women at educational institutions. Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Pradip Kumar Ghosal of South Suburban Division (SSD) will lead the SIT. The three accused, Manojit Mishra, Zaib Ahmed and Pramit Mukhopadhyay, whom the police have named, have been sent to police custody till July 1.
