MP Arora confers proprietary rights to 151 households in ‘Lal Lakir'

Time of India19-05-2025
Ludhiana: In a significant step towards empowering residents living within the Lal Lakir, Rajya Sabha MP
Sanjeev Arora
today on Monday conferred
proprietary rights
to 151 households of
Jawaddi Kalan
under the "Mera Ghar Mere Naam" scheme.
The property certificates were distributed at a special event held at Govt High School, Jawaddi Kalan.
While addressing the gathering, the MP described the initiative as a landmark move aimed at resolving long-standing property ownership issues in Jawaddi Kalan. The residents had been demanding legal ownership of their homes for about past 50 years.
Highlighting the broader impact of the scheme, Arora said, "This initiative not only addresses decades-old challenges but also restores dignity and opens new economic opportunities for residents.
By granting legal recognition, it allows residents to leverage their property for financial growth — whether through loans or future family planning."
Earlier this month, beneficiaries in Sunet, Barewal, Haibowal Kalan and Haibowal Khurd received proprietary rights certificates. Arora said, as of today, 1,523 households — including those in Jawaddi Kalan — have been granted proprietary rights. He added that any remaining areas may also be covered in the future.

Arora noted that the issue of Lal Lakir ownership surfaced repeatedly during his campaign meetings in Sunet, Barewal, and Haibowal. "Legal ownership empowers residents to use their property as a financial asset, promoting independence and stability," he said. He said certificates have been prepared after a comprehensive verification process conducted by various govt departments.
He apprised the beneficiaries that any corrections required in the property certificates can be made at the MCL D-Zone Office on all working days between 10am and 5pm within the next 90 days. He extended his gratitude to the govt officers involved for their cooperation in successfully executing the initiative and encouraged residents to celebrate the occasion.

Jagdeep Dhankhar Never Let Us Speak, Faced Axe When He Spoke: M Kharge

Former Vice President and Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar would stifle the Opposition's right to speak in the House but himself faced the axe when he began speaking freely and refused to align on various issues with the Centre that he strongly once defended, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said on Saturday. Amid growing speculation over the circumstances surrounding the unexpected exit of Mr Dhankhar last month, Mr Kharge, who is the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, alleged the former Rajya Sabha chairman was threatened and pressured to withdraw a motion by the opposition members against Justice Yashwant Varma. "He was told to either withdraw the motion or resign. He resigned," Mr Kharge said. The Congress President recalled how the Opposition was allegedly not allowed to speak during House proceedings during Mr Dhankhar's term and one of the MPs was suspended for seven months in 2023. "The previous Vice President did not allow us to speak. He used to suspend us; one of our women MPs was suspended for seven months," he said, referring to Congress MP Rajani Ashokrao Patil, who was suspended during the Budget session in 2023 for allegedly videographing House proceedings and sharing it on social media in violation of rules. Her suspension was revoked in August that year. "But when he (Mr Dhankar) started speaking freely, started talking about rules, started talking about the action against Allahabad High Court judge Yashwant Verma, then he was threatened, pressure was put on him to withdraw the motion," he said. He was speaking at the party's day-long conclave, "Constitutional Challenges: Perspectives and Pathways", when he made the remarks. Opposition parties in the past alleged that they were not being allowed to speak and accused Mr Dhankhar of impartiality during House proceedings. On July 21, Mr Dhankhar stepped down as Vice President, a little more than two years ahead of the end of his tenure. His term was to end on August 10, 2027. Officially, he cited medical reasons for his exit but sources earlier hinted at a deeper unease, possibly even a breakdown of trust between him and the Centre that he once strongly defended. The tipping point, the sources said, came when Mr Dhankhar refused to align with the government's stand on the impeachment of Justice Yashwant Varma. NDTV earlier reported that ministers met Mr Dhankhar multiple times just days before the Monsoon Session, urging him not to go ahead with the Opposition-backed motion against Mr Varma, informing him very clearly that Lok Sabha will initiate it and he must instead focus on putting the matter of the impeachment of Justice Shekhar Yadav of the Allahabad High Court to end. The election for the post of Vice President will be held on September 9, the Election Commission announced on Friday. The notification for the election, which is being necessitated following Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's sudden exit last month, will be issued on August 7 and the last date for filing nomination papers will be August 21. The results of the election will be announced on the polling day -- September 9 -- itself, the polling body said.

TikTok hires former Israeli instructor Erica Mindel as hate speech policy chief amid rising antisemitism scrutiny

TikTok has appointed Erica Mindel , a self-described 'proud American Jew' and former Israeli military instructor, as its new Public Policy Manager for Hate Speech, a move that comes amid heightened scrutiny over the platform's handling of antisemitic and extremist content. TikTok has not issued an official comment on the appointment. Mindel assumed the full-time, New York-based role in July. She is tasked with shaping the company's hate speech policy, leading strategic initiatives, and serving as TikTok's internal and external expert on antisemitism , according to her LinkedIn profile and job description.

Background in diplomacy and defense Live Events Before joining TikTok, Mindel worked as a contractor for the US State Department under former President Biden, advising Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism. She also served as Assistant Director of Program Development at the American Jewish Committee (AJC), where she organized policy delegations to Israel involving US media, civic, religious, and academic leaders. Mindel holds degrees in Political Science from the University of Michigan and Public Policy from Johns Hopkins University. In a 2023 AJC video, Mindel recalled being raised in a conservative Jewish household and said her advocacy against antisemitism began during her first month of college, when she fought a pro-BDS resolution. She later made aliyah to Israel, where she served for over two years in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as an instructor in the Armored Corps. The decision to place a former Israeli soldier in charge of hate speech policy has sparked strong reactions online and across civil society. Supporters of the move, including the ADL and Jewish advocacy groups , view it as a timely and necessary step in countering online antisemitism. Critics, however, worry that the appointment could stoke bias in moderation practices, particularly concerning pro-Palestinian voices. TikTok's broader struggles TikTok has long faced criticism for its inconsistent enforcement of content moderation policies and its opaque algorithm, which critics say has amplified extremist, racist, and antisemitic messages. The platform, owned by China's ByteDance , is also contending with potential legislation in the US and Europe that could force stricter regulation of harmful content. In its defense, TikTok has repeatedly said it is committed to making the platform safe for all users and has invested in internal audits and partnerships with NGOs. Mindel's role is one of several new policy-focused hires as TikTok aims to rehabilitate its public image and avoid further government intervention. With antisemitism reportedly at record highs globally, TikTok's next moves will be closely watched. Mindel's challenge lies not only in refining hate speech policy, but also in walking a tightrope between protecting vulnerable communities and preserving freedom of expression in one of the world's most politically charged digital spaces.
