SIR of Bihar electoral rolls echoed in Parliament as Oppn protests EC's move
New Delhi: The contentious Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar reverberated inside and outside Parliament on Tuesday with both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha failing to transact any business with Opposition MPs vociferously protesting against the Election Commission's MPs also staged a protest at the 'Makar Dwar' of Parliament House with Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav among others joining them. .Over 100 MPs have signed notice to bring motion against Justice Varma in Parliament: Sabha and Rajya Sabha erupted into sloganeering as soon as the Houses assembled with Congress-led Opposition MPs shouting slogans against the SIR, ignoring appeals by Speaker Om Birla and Upper House's Deputy Chairman Harivansh. Both the Houses were adjourned for the day at 2 pm after two earlier adjournments during Zero Hour and Question eyes were in Rajya Sabha as it was the first day after Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation. Harivansh chaired the proceedings and informed the House that a vacancy has arisen in the post of Vice President while rejecting notices to suspend business to discuss SIR and inordinate delay by the government in publishing an ASI report Keeladi. CPI's P Sandosh Kumar's notice to immediately discuss the "unexpected and unprecedented" resignation of the Vice President was also rejected. Congress and other Opposition parties protested and demanded an immediate debate on SIR and rushed to the Well of the House, prompting Harivansh to adjourn the House till 12 noon. When the House reconvened for Question Hour, Ghanshyam Tiwari, who was chairing the proceedings, informed the House regarding a notification by the Ministry of Home Affairs conveying Dhankhar's resignation with immediate effect and adjourned the House till 2 business could be transacted at 2 pm also due to Opposition protest even as Harivansh called Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal to move a motion for consideration of The Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025, prompting the Chair to adjourn the House for the Lok Sabha, Opposition refused to heed to the appeals of Birla and Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, prompting the Speaker to adjourn the House till 12 noon. Chouhan appealed to the opposition MPs to go back to their seats so that the House can take up questions related to farmers during the Question Hour while Birla intervened and told them that sloganeering and showing placards lowered the dignity of the House. The Zero Hour at 12 noon also could not function following protest with Jagadambika Pal, who was on the Chair, adjourning the House till 2 pm. When the House reconvened, the protest continued and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said, "Double standards are wrong, first they ask for debate and then create a ruckus like this." "Only the rule under which discussion will take place will be decided. They come here carrying placards and violate the rules, I condemn this. They are asking for a debate and we are ready for a debate but they are not allowing the House to function," he said.

Sena (UBT) MLC Anil Parab demands minister Yogesh Kadam's resignation over ‘Kandivali dance bar run with mother's licence'
Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Anil Parab on Tuesday demanded the resignation of Maharashtra Minister of State for Home Yogesh Kadam, alleging that a dance bar in Kandivali was being operated under a licence held by his mother and that firms linked to the minister's family were mining sand illegally in Ratnagiri. Parab said he would submit documents, pen drives, and evidence to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday and warned he would approach the Bombay High Court if Kadam was not removed from his post. 'Devendra Fadnavis should seek Kadam's resignation. (Deputy Chief Minister) Eknath Shinde won't act because of political constraints. If the state doesn't act, I will go to court,' Parab said. Kadam belongs to the Shinde-led Shiv Sena. Parab's allegations stem from a May 30 raid at Savali Bar and Restaurant in Kandivali (West), following which the Mumbai police booked 22 bar dancers, 22 customers, and four staff members for violations under bar regulations. Citing documents received under the Right to Information Act, Parab said the bar's licence was in the name of Jyoti Kadam, the minister's mother. 'If obscene activities take place in a bar licensed to the minister's family, responsibility lies with the licence holder. Saying it is run by someone else is no defence under the law,' the MLC said at a press conference. Parab alleged that bar rules were violated, with reports of obscene dance and money being thrown—all of which he claimed was documented in an FIR. Former minister Ramdas Kadam, father of Yogesh Kadam, admitted that the licence is in his wife's name but said the bar has been run by a man named Shetty for 30 years. 'There is an orchestra licence and waitress licence. Nothing illegal is happening,' he said, dismissing Parab's claims as politically motivated. Parab also accused Kadam of diverting silt from the Jagbudi river in Ratnagiri, stating that sand meant for farmers was instead sent to a private dental college allegedly linked to Kadam's sister. He named Akil Mukadam, who he claimed works at Kadam's residence, as the one overseeing the illegal sand removal. Kadam, in response, denied all charges, saying he had no involvement in the operation of the bar or in sand removal, and that the allegations were 'baseless and defamatory'. He said the silt removed was not of construction quality. 'If I had any vested interest, no raid would have happened. The police acted under my instructions,' Kadam said on Monday. Kadam has also announced that he will move a breach of privilege motion against Parab in the Legislative Council and write to the chairperson over Parab's remarks.

Punjab government rolls out Land Pooling policy; promises farmer welfare and higher compensation
Punjab government rolls out Land Pooling policy; promises farmer welfare and higher compensation CHANDIGARH: Punjab government has rolled out a new policy for farmers' welfare that aims to prioritise partnership and transparency through its Land Pooling model. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has introduced a land pooling model under which farmers receive annual compensation of Rs 1 lakh, five times more than the Rs 20,000 previously given. In addition to the revised amount, the policy includes a 10% annual increment in the rental sum. Farmers joining the scheme also receive an upfront payment of Rs 50,000. Upon enrollment, farmers receive a Rs 50,000 advance cheque for the first year and a Letter of Intent (LOI) within just 21 days. Until development begins on the pooled land, farmers retain full possession and can continue agricultural activities. The government will continue to deposit the ₹1 lakh annually into their accounts during this period. Officials claim the new model eliminates the need for middlemen and reduces opportunities for corruption, offering what is described as a direct and transparent approach. The land pooling model also alters the traditional equation between farmers and urban developers. Rather than being sidelined as land providers, farmers are being positioned as stakeholders in the development process. Initial response to the scheme has seen participation from more than 50 farmers in Mohali. In Patiala, over 150 acres were pooled voluntarily in the first week. Similar interest has reportedly been seen in Amritsar, Moga, Sangrur, Jalandhar, Nawanshahr, Hoshiarpur, Tarn Taran, Fazilka, Kapurthala, and Bathinda. AAP government's policy is built on consent, without forcible acquisition. Government officials say it aims to provide fair and consistent compensation while involving farmers in the development process.
