Asaduddin Owaisi on the BJP’s call for voter verification for those wearing burqas: “Targeting Muslim women”

Published

on

Asaduddin Owaisi, the president of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), charged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday with singling out Muslim women and putting obstacles in their way during the voting process. The BJP’s Delhi branch has demanded “proper verification” of female voters who cover their heads with burqas.

The Election Commission has been informed by the Delhi chapter of the Bharatiya Janata Party that women wearing burqas need to be specially checked. Recently, Telangana’s candidate for the Lok Sabha openly insulted and harassed Muslim women. Asaduddin Owaisi stated in an X post that “the BJP finds an excuse or two to harass and target Muslim women in every election.”

The Delhi BJP team met with the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) on Wednesday and specifically requested that female personnel carry out the process of thoroughly verifying female voters who wear face masks or ‘burqas’ during the election on May 25.

According to Owaisi, the election body has explicit guidelines prohibiting voting without proof. He claimed that the “special demand” was being used by the BJP to harass Muslim women.

“Why did the BJP have to make such a special demand when the Election Commission has clear rules and regulations for women who do not observe purdah, whether they are wearing a burqa, veil, or mask? No one is allowed to vote without verification.” Simply go for Muslim ladies, harass them, and put up barriers to voting,” he shouted.

In a different incidence, a complaint has been made against Madhavi Latha, the BJP candidate for the Lok Sabha seat in Hyderabad, following the appearance of an alleged video purporting to show her checking Muslim women’s voter ID cards at a polling place. Charges in the case are made under the Representation of the People Act and other sections of the Indian Penal Code.

Elections for all seven Delhi Lok Sabha seats are scheduled for May 25. On June 4, the election results will be declared.

Amit Shah will preside over a high-level Manipur meeting.

Published

on

Monday night’s meeting to assess the security situation in Manipur will be facilitated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. This is the first high-level gathering of its kind held by the central government since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was re-elected earlier this month.

Senior representatives from the federal government, state governments, including chief minister N Biren Singh, the army, and other security agencies are anticipated to attend the meeting at 4 p.m., according to people with knowledge of the development.

Manipur has seen fighting between the Kukis and Meiteis communities since May 3 of last year. The fighting has resulted in at least 225 deaths to far and the displacement of almost 50,000 people, the majority of whom are still living in relief shelters.

The previous few weeks have seen new acts of violence in the northeastern state, including the burning of a school facility close to Moreh and the discovery of the beheaded body of a missing individual.

In the Kangpokpi district last week, armed terrorists assaulted the vehicle of Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s enhanced security team, injuring a security officer and a civilian driver.

Dr. Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), stated on June 10 that Manipur has been waiting for peace for a year and that this problem has to be given priority.

Bhagwat emphasised the importance of putting aside political hyperbole and concentrating on the issues confronting the country.

Dattatreya Hosabale, the general secretary of the RSS, called the current violence in Manipur “painful” and “worrisome.”

The Sangh, according to a statement, feels that the only way to solve any issue is “through mutual dialogue and expression of brotherhood in a peaceful atmosphere.”

In an attempt to mediate peace, Shah had earlier travelled to Manipur last month and convened nine talks with leaders of the Kuki and Meitei groups. Despite this, the violence has not decreased.

Sunita Kejriwal is requested by the Delhi High Court to remove Arvind Kejriwal’s court footage from social media.

Published

on

The wife of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Sunita Kejriwal, has been ordered by the Delhi High Court to remove a video of her husband speaking to a Delhi court from her social media accounts. The social media companies have also been ordered by the court to remove posts that contain links to the video.

In addition, the high court has sent notices to all parties involved in the PIL, which was filed by lawyer Vaibhav Singh, alleging that Kejriwal’s appearance before Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court on March 28 violated the court’s regulations regarding video conferencing.

Among the five people requested to remove the social media posts is Sunita Kejriwal.

The court has set July 9 for the hearing.

On March 28, Arvind Kejriwal personally addressed Special Judge (PC Act) Kaveri Baweja after being brought before the court a second time after being arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case.

Sunita Kejriwal reposted the images after the audio and video recordings of the speech went viral on social media.

When films with comparable content are brought to their attention, the Delhi High Court ordered X, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram to remove them.

The notice on the PIL filed by the Delhi-based attorney Vaibhav Singh was issued by a division bench made up of Justices Neena Bansal Krishna and Amit Sharma.

After he disregarded nine summonses from the Enforcement Directorate, Arvind Kejriwal was taken into custody on March 21 in relation to the excise policy fraud. Subsequently, the Delhi High Court affirmed the agency’s decision.

Later, Arvind Kejriwal petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn his arrest.

In order to enable Kejriwal to campaign for his Aam Aadmi Party during the Lok Sabha elections, the Supreme Court granted him temporary release in May for a period of 21 days.

On June 2, he turned himself in to the Tihar Jail officials per the Supreme Court’s directive.

The former bureaucrat Sunita Kejriwal had spent a great deal of time campaigning for the AAP during the Lok Sabha elections. But the party was unable to secure a single seat in the nation’s capital.
