Hindu temple defaced in California amid growing rift between India and US over Khalistan issue

IndiaTimes Saturday, 23 December 2023
A US religious watchdog censured the Modi government for not protecting minorities in India. Sikh separatists allegedly defaced a Hindu temple in California, escalating tensions between New Delhi and Washington. The Swaminarayan temple near San Jose was vandalized with anti-India graffiti, including slogans praising militant separatist icon Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and abusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Hindu American Foundation called for the incident to be investigated as a hate crime. They also urged the US to take a stronger stance against the Khalistan movement, which they described as Pakistan-supported militancy.

Harvey Weinstein’s Rape Conviction , Is Overturned. New York's Court of Appeals overturned the movie mogul's 2020 rape conviction by a vote of 4-3 on April 25. According to the appeals court, trial judge James Burke "prejudiced Weinstein with 'egregious' improper rulings," AP reports. . For example, he let women bring forth allegations against Weinstein that he wasn't charged with. The action was an "abuse of judicial discretion," the appeals court said. . Without question, this is appalling, shameful, repulsive conduct that could only diminish defendant’s character before the jury, New York's Court of Appeals, via AP. Although this conviction has been overturned, the 72-year-old will remain in prison due to a separate 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles. His lawyers have chosen to appeal that conviction as well. . Jennifer Bonjean, who helped free Bill Cosby from prison, issued a statement about the development. Jennifer Bonjean, who helped free Bill Cosby from prison, issued a statement about the development. A jury was told in California that he was convicted in another state for rape ... turns out he shouldn’t have been convicted and it wasn’t a fair conviction… , Jennifer Bonjean, Harvey Weinstein's attorney, via AP. It interfered with his presumption of innocence in a significant way in California, Jennifer Bonjean, Harvey Weinstein's attorney, via AP. On April 25, prosecutors said that "the legal issues identified by the New York Court of Appeal are not present in the Los Angeles County Case.". The Manhattan district attorney's office said they will "do everything in our power to retry this case, and remain steadfast in our commitment to survivors of sexual assault."

How Did '4/20' Become a Holiday for Weed? [Video]

How Did '4/20' Become a Holiday for Weed?

How Did '4/20' Become a Holiday for Weed?. One common theory is that it stems from a California criminal code for those who distribute the drug. According to CNN, California's 420 code is actually for obstructing entry on public land. The state's medical marijuana program was created from a bill with the number 420. Oaksterdam Cannabis Museum's Chris Conrad says "4/20" started as a code in Marin County, California, at San Rafael High School. In the 1970s, a group called "The Waldos" would get together at 4:20 PM to smoke pot. The time of the day was convenient as it was right after school ended with no parental supervision just yet. "4/20" became a code word that allowed them to notify each other in front of unsuspecting parents. From there, the phrase likely spread across the country
