Listen to This Article
Punjab farmers are back on the streets. This time not against the Centre, but in protest against a |controversial land pooling policy of the Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government notified in June.
The policy aims to kick-start a new wave of urbanisation in the predominantly rural state. Some experts say it was announced by using certain provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement Act of 2013, popularly known as LARR-2013.
According to them, the government's argument is that LARR, with its mandatory requirements such as social and environmental impact assessments

Epstein investigation files, Clintons subpoenaed by House panel
House Republicans subpoenaed the Justice Department and a slew of former US officials for information about Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking operation, while his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell fought back in federal court against making materials in her case public. This undated trial evidence image obtained December 8, 2021, from the US District Court for the Southern District of New York shows British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and US financier Jeffrey Epstein.(AFP) The developments played out from Washington to New York on Tuesday, pouring fresh fuel on a controversy that President Donald Trump and his top aides have been unable to shake for weeks. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer sent a letter Tuesday to Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding the 'full, complete, unredacted Epstein files,' including information about Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in sexually abusing underage women. While Comer is a Trump ally, his hand was forced to issue the subpoena after Democrats on his committee team up with rank-and-file Republicans to vote in favor of forcing disclosure of the Justice Department records. Comer expanded on the Democratic-backed subpoena to also compel testimony from officials from prior administrations, including frequent Trump targets such as former FBI Director James Comey and President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary, Trump's opponent in the 2016 presidential election. It wasn't clear what, if any, information they have on the case. Still, the subpoenas set up a potential confrontation between the Republican-led panel and the Trump administration over access to the Justice Department's investigative records. Trump and his top aides have faced a firestorm over their handling of the Epstein case, with supporters and critics alike demanding they release documents, financial records and information about Epstein's sex-trafficking operation and who may have committed crimes against underage girls. Congressional Democrats made life so politically painful for House Republicans over Epstein that Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home early for its August break in order to avoid votes on publicly releasing the Epstein files. Democrats had repeatedly offered amendments to legislation to compel the administration to make the files public and GOP leaders halted work on major legislation. Trump has acknowledged he had a personal relationship with Epstein long ago and attended social gatherings with him but has denied knowing anything about his sex-trafficking operation. The Wall Street Journal stoked new controversy over Trump's relationship with Epstein with a story last month that said the president once sent a suggestive birthday letter to Epstein. Trump denied the story and sued the news organization. In the face of rising pressure from fellow Republicans and critics demanding more information about the case, the Justice Department has asked federal judges in New York to unseal grand jury materials related to Epstein and Maxwell. Maxwell fought back in court on Tuesday, opposing the request to unseal grand jury transcripts in her criminal case, saying she is still fighting her conviction. 'The public interest identified by the government — while understandable — is insufficient to warrant disclosure of grand jury materials at this time,' Maxwell's lawyers wrote in a legal filing. 'The government frames this interest as 'historical,' yet it is nothing more than widespread and intense public scrutiny about an ongoing criminal case.' The Justice Department has indicated in court filings that the grand jury material is very limited and probably won't shed any new light on what is already publicly known about Epstein's operation. In comparison, the department has a huge collection of documents and files obtained during the investigations into Epstein and Maxwell, including interviews with witnesses and victims. The subpoena to the department seeks all documents and communications related to seven different categories, including the criminal cases against Epstein and Maxwell and information about Epstein's death. Comer's panel gave the Justice Department until Aug. 19 to turn over records related to Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 as he faced sex-trafficking charges. A Justice Department spokesman didn't respond to a request for comment, nor did a spokesperson for the Clintons. Bill Clinton, who has acknowledged traveling on Epstein's private airplane, has previously denied knowing anything about the financier's sex-trafficking. The Justice Department is traditionally reluctant to share all its investigative files with lawmakers and has resisted demands so far to make more information about Epstein's operation public. Comer's panel already subpoenaed Maxwell for an Aug. 11 deposition. But her lawyers have demanded criminal immunity in return for her testimony and Comer hasn't agreed to the request.

Debate erupts over claims of british era 'Hanging house'
New Delhi: An intense debate erupted on the second day of the monsoon session of Delhi Assembly over Aam Aadmi Party's claims that a section of the legislative house complex was a British-era gallows and contained a secret tunnel. Speaker Vijender Gupta described these contentions as a distortion of history, while minister Parvesh Verma claimed that the opposition legislators were propagating "lies". In 2021, then Speaker Ram Niwas Goel said that a 'hanging house' was discovered on the assembly premises after a tunnel was discovered in 2016. The subterranean structure's mouth lies just below the floor of the assembly hall in the iconic building, once the Old Secretariat constructed in 1912 by the British after the imperial capital was shifted from Calcutta to Delhi. On Tuesday, MLA Abhay Verma proposed a condemnation resolution against the "distortion of history" by the previous govt. Verma claimed, "This place was an elevator but Arvind Kejriwal completely distorted a significant history." He added, "The photos, maps and documents we have prove that there were no gallows here. There was only an elevator used to move goods up and down. We will remove the gallows and present the room in its true reality. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Highest Earning College Majors—2025 Edition Best Paying Degrees | Search Ads Learn More Undo "AAP had renovated the "said" gallows room. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi While Gupta accused the earlier govt of attempting to change the history of the assembly, BJP legislator Ajay Mahawar claimed that the "misdeeds of the previous govt are coming to light one by one". AAP MLA Jarnail Singh countered, "Search for gallows in Delhi Assembly on ChatGPT and you will get all the information. You are only trying to hide the misdeeds of the British govt." To this, BJP legislator Sanjay Goyal responded that AAP ran the state govt like ChatGPT for years. Deputy speaker Mohan Singh Bisht weighed in on the debate by saying the assembly was a heritage and its history shouldn't be tampered with. Eventually, Gupta declared. "Upon consulting historians on the matter, it has been clarified that no such tunnel exists. What is being referred to is, in fact, ducting space created for ventilation. At the time, resources were limited, and whenever such buildings were constructed underground, space was left for ventilation ducts. This is not unique to this building; similar provisions exist in the old Parliament House too. " Gupta added, "The truth is that no gallows ever existed there, nor does one exist today. The room in question is, in fact, a tiffin room. The wooden lift within it, meant for carrying food and other items, has been incorrectly described as a gallows and trapdoor." The semi-circular, white building on Sham Nath Marg that houses Delhi Assembly was once the seat of British India. The building housed both the central legislative council (today's Parliament) and a temporary central secretariat when the capital of British India was shifted from Calcutta to Delhi in Dec 1911. Soon after the 1911 Delhi Durbar, during which King George V made the announcement on the shift of the capital, viceroy Lord Hardinge shifted base from Calcutta and set up a temporary capital in north Delhi's Civil Lines. The assembly building served as the temporary secretariat of the govt of India for a decade while New Delhi was being built. After Parliament House was inaugurated in 1927, it continued to be used for various purposes, including hosting the Delhi Metropolitan Council (1966-1990), before becoming the seat of the Delhi Legislative Assembly in 1993.

MoD clears big arms deals, including BrahMos, armed drones, worth Rs 67,000cr
NEW DELHI: The defence ministry on Tuesday gave the initial nod for the procurement of 87 new heavy-duty armed drones and over 110 more air-launched BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, which IAF used as the primary weapon to strike Pakistani airbases and radar sites in May, among several modernisation proposals collectively worth Rs 67,000 crore. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The acceptance of necessity (AoN) granted by the Rajnath Singh-led Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) for the 87 armed medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) remotely-piloted aircraft will see an Indian company tying up with a foreign one to produce the drones with "an indigenous content of 60%". "The need for such MALE drones, armed with air-to-ground missiles and laser-guided bombs as well as capable of operating at long ranges, was acutely felt for the three services during Operation Sindoor," a senior official told TOI. Armed forces hope to induct 87 new MALE drones, which are faster than 'Predator' HALE The 87 drones, with ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) and weapon-carrying capability, will cost around Rs 20,000 crore. Another Rs 11,000 crore will be for logistical and other support by the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for 10 years," the senior official added. India, of course, had used Israeli-origin Harop and Harpy kamikaze drones, which act as cruise missiles by exploding into enemy assets and radars, to hit targets deep inside Pakistan during the May 7-10 hostilities. The armed forces hope to induct the 87 new MALE drones, which return to their bases after strike missions, faster than the 31-armed MQ-9B 'Predator' HALE (high-altitude, long endurance) drones ordered from the US for Rs 32,350 crore in Oct last year, which will be delivered only in the 2029-30 timeframe. The over 110 air-launched BrahMos missiles, which are jointly manufactured by India and Russia, in turn, will cost around Rs 10,800 crore. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These 450-km range missiles, which fly almost three times the speed of sound at Mach 2.8, combined with Sukhoi-30MKI fighters, with a combat radius of about 1,500-km, constitute a deadly weapons package, as was witnessed during Operation Sindoor. The DAC also accorded AoN for eight BrahMos fire control systems and vertical launchers for older Indian warships for Rs 650 crore. Around 20 frontline warships, including the latest destroyers and frigates, are already armed with the BrahMos missiles. In March last year, the defence ministry had inked a Rs 19,519 crore deal for procurement of over 220 BrahMos missiles for frontline warships with the Indo-Russian joint venture BrahMos Aerospace. The total value of deals inked for BrahMos has crossed Rs 58,000 crore over the years, with the missiles becoming the "prime conventional (non-nuclear) precision strike weapons" for the armed forces. For the Army, the DAC gave the nod for new thermal imager-based driver night-sights for infantry combat vehicles (BMPs). "This would provide higher mobility and operational advantage," another official said.
