Several Opposition parties too rallied behind the Congress and issued a joint statement accusing the Narendra Modi government of having “unleashed a relentless campaign of vendetta against its political opponents and critics through the mischievous misuse of investigative agencies”.

Interestingly, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, which joined a meeting of Opposition parties called by the Congress at Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge’s Parliament chamber to coordinate the floor strategy, was a signatory to the joint statement.
“Prominent leaders of a number of political parties have been deliberately targeted and subjected to harassment in an unprecedented manner. We condemn this and resolve to continue and intensify our collective fight against the anti-people, anti-farmers and anti-Constitution policies of the Modi sarkar that is destroying the social fabric of our society,” the statement said.
The signatories include the leaders of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Communist Party of India (Marxist), TRS, Shiv Sena, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Communist Party of India, Revolutionary Socialist Party, Indian Union Muslim League, National Conference and the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.
Interestingly, the Opposition parties were largely silent when Rahul was called for questioning last month.
Senior Congress leaders, including Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, were at 24, Akbar Road headquarters in solidarity with Gandhi. Addressing a press conference, Gehlot accused the BJP-led government of viewing every Opposition party as its enemy.
“There are no enemies in politics. But they consider the Opposition as enemies. Recently in Hyderabad, Modi spoke about regional parties…he talked about dynasties. They were talking about Congress-mukt Bharat earlier. Now their mantra is Opposition-mukt Bharat so that there is dictatorship in India. The country is moving forward in that direction,” he said.

A vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala had refused to entertain her plea for clubbing of the FIRs lodged in several states over her remarks. The top court had come down heavily on her for her controversial comments against the Prophet, saying her “loose tongue” has “set the entire country on fire” and that she is “single-handedly responsible for what is happening in the country”.
“She actually has a loose tongue and has made all kinds of irresponsible statements on TV and set the entire country on fire. Yet, she claims to be a lawyer of 10 years standing… She should have immediately apologised for her comments to the whole country,” the court had said.

Action taken against 19 passengers for not wearing masks inside flights, Delhi HC told

The passengers refused to wear the facemasks despite repeated reminders from the crew.

According to the Delhi Police, 16 challans were issued in respect of Covid-19 violations at the IGI Airport in June (Express photo by Nirmal Harindran)Following the Delhi High Court’s order to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for strict action against passengers found not wearing masks inside the flights, a total of 15 passengers travelling from Srinagar to Delhi on June 29 were taken to the police station on their arrival in the national capital for refusing to wear masks despite repeated announcements by the crew.

The submission was made by the DGCA in a reply before the division bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad. Besides the 15 travellers, similar action was also taken against a passenger travelling from Muscat International Airport to Mumbai on June 16. In two other cases related to violation of guidelines, FIRs were also filed. A passenger travelling from Mumbai to Ranchi was offloaded on June 7.
The passengers refused to wear the facemasks despite repeated reminders from the crew. “Airline crew followed all the protocols in this respect and when all other means of getting the passengers to comply were exhausted, they were handed over to the security staff on arrival, with requisite documentation,” said the DGCA.
According to the Delhi Police, 16 challans were issued in respect of Covid-19 violations at the IGI Airport in June and a total of Rs 8,000 was imposed as penalty.

DGCA on June 8 had asked the airlines and airports to ensure strict compliance of Covid-19 protocols, following an order from the court.
A division bench of the court on June 3 had said that, “we are of the view that the DGCA should issue separate binding directions to all staff persons deployed at the airports and in the aircrafts, including flight attendants, air hostesses, captains/pilots and others, to take strict action against passengers and others who violate the masking and hygiene norms. All such persons who are found to violate the said norms should be appropriately fined and persistent defaulters should be placed on the no- fly list.”
The court on Monday heard an application seeking easing of restrictions at the airports and inside flights on account of the change in Covid-19 situation. Observing that there are very few coronavirus cases now, the division bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma said that the DGCA shall carry out periodical review of the guidelines and also adhere to instructions issued by the Centre from time to time.
The High Court last year had initiated a suo motu case regarding non-compliance of guidelines by passengers during domestic travel. One of the High Court judges had taken note of the fact that many passengers in an Air India flight from Kolkata to New Delhi on March 5 wore masks below their chin and showed a “stubborn reluctance” to wear them properly.
