IndiaTimes Tuesday, 19 December 2023
Kapil Sibal, a Rajya Sabha MP, criticized the suspension of 78 MPs from both Houses, calling it the biggest single-day purge in the history of India's Parliament. He stated that the 'mother of democracy has orphaned it' and urged citizens to ensure its survival. The number of suspended legislators rose to 92, with 78 MPs suspended for disrupting proceedings over the demand for a statement from the Union Home Minister on a recent security breach.

‘Coming To BJP headquarters’: Kejriwal Challenges Pm Modi After Bibhav Kumar's Arrest | Watch Video

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi by announcing his intention to visit the BJP headquarters with AAP leaders, daring the PM to arrest them all. Kejriwal accuses Modi of orchestrating a "game of jail" and claimed that AAP leaders were being targeted for imprisonment, including himself, Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chadha, Atishi, and Saurabh Bharadwaj. He asserted that despite any arrests, AAP's ideology would endure, emphasising the party's achievements in Delhi. In response, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari emphasised that arrests are determined by investigation agencies and courts, not the BJP, and underscored Modi's commitment to justice. This exchange follows the arrest of Kejriwal's aide, Bibhav Kumar, accused of assaulting Swati Maliwal, former DCW chief, who alleged the attack occurred during a visit to Kejriwal's residence. Police are investigating the incident, with Kumar expressing willingness to cooperate and also lodging a complaint against an AAP Rajya Sabha MP. #KejriwalChallenge #BJPHeadquarters #PMModi #BibhavKumarArrest #ArvindKejriwal #AAPLeaders #PoliticalChallenge #DelhiPolitics #BJPvsAAP #LeadershipStandoff #PoliticalDare #IndianPolitics #BJPLeadership #PMModiCase #ArrestChallenge ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.102~GR.121~

At that time, children under the age of 14 will not be allowed to have social media accounts in Florida. 14- and 15-year-olds will need parental permission to have a presence on social media. State House Speaker Paul Renner issued a statement in support of the new law. A child in their brain development doesn’t have the ability to know that they’re being sucked into these addictive technologies and to see the harm and step away from it, and because of that we have to step in for them, Florida House Speaker Paul Renner, via statement. Renner also said that social media companies will likely "sue the second after this is signed.". But you know what? We’re going to beat them. We’re going to beat them and we’re never, ever going to stop, Florida House Speaker Paul Renner, via statement. Opponents argue that the new legislation is unconstitutional and a government overreach. . This bill goes too far in taking away parents’ rights, Anna Eskamani, Democratic state House representative, via news release. Instead of banning social media access, it would be better to ensure improved parental oversight tools, improved access to data to stop bad actors, , Anna Eskamani, Democratic state House representative, via news release. ... alongside major investments in Florida’s mental health systems and programs, Anna Eskamani, Democratic state House representative, via news release
