Speaker moves resolution condemning Emergency, Congress finds itself isolated

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 26 June 2024 ()
The new session of the Lok Sabha started with an intriguing development as the Congress faced isolation when the newly-elected Speaker initiated a motion to condemn the Emergency imposed by the Indira Gandhi government to quell dissent. The resolution, endorsing the retrospective approval by the Indira Gandhi Cabinet of the presidential decree that suspended democratic norms and civil liberties, received backing from Congress allies such as SP, DMK, and TMC, alongside the BJP and its coalition partners.

“No Direct Involvement…”, Hemant Soren Gets Bail in Land Scam Case [Video]

“No Direct Involvement…”, Hemant Soren Gets Bail in Land Scam Case

Ranchi: Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was granted bail by the High Court in a land scam case, leading to his release from jail this morning. The court found that, prima facie, Soren is not guilty and is unlikely to commit another offense while on bail. His counsel, Arunabh Chowdhury, confirmed the bail was granted on a bond of ₹50,000 and two sureties of the same amount each. Soren, leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on January 31 on money laundering charges related to the acquisition of 8.86 acres of land in Ranchi. The court's decision followed earlier setbacks for Soren, including bail denials by both the Ranchi special court and the High Court, and the Supreme Court's refusal of interim bail. Soren has consistently denied the charges, accusing the ruling BJP of framing him to derail the opposition.
