Should I say I am not allowed to speak in Parliament because I am Dalit: Kharge

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 20 December 2023
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge criticizes dragging castes into every issue and questions the need to mention his Dalit origins when not allowed to speak in Rajya Sabha. He condemns the mimicry incident involving V-P Jagdeep Dhankhar and calls for protecting members in the House. Kharge also raises concerns over the security breach and the absence of statements from PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. He accuses the government of running the House in a one-sided manner and urges an apology. The incident occurred during the opposition's protest against the suspension of MPs.

LS Polls 2024: Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Lovely resigns, cites interference by leader | Oneindia

Arvinder Singh Lovely, the Delhi Congress chief, tendered his resignation on Sunday, citing significant interference by the party's general secretary in-charge and the contentious alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi. In his resignation letter addressed to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, Lovely expressed feeling "handicapped" and unable to effectively lead the Delhi Congress unit. Highlighting numerous instances of discord, Lovely outlined objections raised by several party leaders regarding the conduct of Deepak Babaria, the Congress's general secretary in-charge for Delhi. Despite these objections, Lovely faced immense pressure to dismiss the dissenting leaders who opposed Babaria's approach. #ArvinderLovely #DelhiCongress #Resignation #LeaderInterference #Elections2024 #LokSabhaPolls #CongressAAPAlliance #PoliticalResignation #PartyInterference #DelhiPolitics #LeadershipFriction #PoliticalAlliance #PartyConflict #PoliticalTensions #CongressLeaders ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.101~

Top Congress leaders, including the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, held a rally in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6, to publicly launch its election manifesto 'Nyay Patra'. The Jaipur public rally comes a day after the Congress released its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls promising a legal guarantee for MSP, and passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs among others. The release of the manifesto 'Nyay Patra' was announced by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing happiness and pride in her mother Sonia Gandhi's presence in Rajasthan after becoming a member of the Rajya Sabha. Unemployment, claimed to be at its peak, was criticised, with allegations made against the BJP and Modi government for failing to address the issue adequately. The Agniveer scheme, accused of shattering people's hopes, was mentioned, along with concerns raised about leaked papers in various states and the ongoing protests by farmers, suggesting that PM Modi is unwilling to heed their grievances.

Ron DeSantis Legalizes Social Media Ban for Children

Ron DeSantis Legalizes , Social Media Ban for Children. The Florida governor signed the bill into law on March 25, 'The Guardian' reports. It takes effect on January 1, 2025. At that time, children under the age of 14 will not be allowed to have social media accounts in Florida. 14- and 15-year-olds will need parental permission to have a presence on social media. State House Speaker Paul Renner issued a statement in support of the new law. A child in their brain development doesn’t have the ability to know that they’re being sucked into these addictive technologies and to see the harm and step away from it, and because of that we have to step in for them, Florida House Speaker Paul Renner, via statement. Renner also said that social media companies will likely "sue the second after this is signed.". But you know what? We’re going to beat them. We’re going to beat them and we’re never, ever going to stop, Florida House Speaker Paul Renner, via statement. Opponents argue that the new legislation is unconstitutional and a government overreach. . This bill goes too far in taking away parents’ rights, Anna Eskamani, Democratic state House representative, via news release. Instead of banning social media access, it would be better to ensure improved parental oversight tools, improved access to data to stop bad actors, , Anna Eskamani, Democratic state House representative, via news release. ... alongside major investments in Florida’s mental health systems and programs, Anna Eskamani, Democratic state House representative, via news release
