The legislative majority of the party in office — as well as the democratic mandate — remains unaffected by the bills, MHA said NEW DELHI: The home ministry has rejected the opposition’s charge that its anti-corruption bills undermine federalism and are aimed at destabilising state govts run by BJP’s rivals, asserting that the provisions seek the removal from office of an accused who remains under arrest for 30 consecutive days while keeping the person’s legislative membership intact, thereby ruling out any impact on a govt’s stability.As the legislative majority of the party in office remains unaffected and any other member of the same party can replace the minister removed from office, the democratic mandate is “absolutely unaffected” by these bills, the MHA told a parliamentary committee scrutinising the proposed laws. The bills propose the automatic removal from office of the PM, CMs or ministers if they remain in custody for 30 consecutive days on serious criminal charges, sources said.A PM, chief minister or minister holds an executive position that impacts national or state affairs, and prolonged detention impedes their ability to fulfil these roles effectively, potentially leading to governance paralysis, the ministry said, justifying the intent of the bills.The joint committee of Parliament, headed by BJP parliamentarian Aparajita Sarangi, had flagged a host of issues raised by various stakeholders, including opposition parties, in its communication to the MHA, which responded to them.Responding to the claim that automatic removal from office would undermine the popular will expressed through elections, the ministry said the mandate is neither absolute nor unconditional, as the Constitution provides several accountability mechanisms that can lead to a change in leadership without fresh elections.The party or coalition in office retains the opportunity to elect a new leader who commands majority support, it said.”Far from negating popular will, the provision protects it by ensuring that governance remains effective and trustworthy, preventing a situation where a leader unable to appear before the House or discharge official functions continues in office indefinitely,” the ministry said.The committee is likely to adopt its report in the coming days and table it in the Lok Sabha during the Parliament’s monsoon session, beginning July 20.Get the latest India news and live updates.

File photo NEW DELHI: Virtually taking over supervision of the ongoing investigations into Ayodhya Ram mandir donation embezzlement controversy, Supreme Court on Monday asked the UP govt-constituted Special Investigation Team to submit its probe status report within a week.A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana entertained four PILs which have sought independent and time-bound investigations into huge amounts donated by devotees being siphoned off, and audit of temple accounts by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).Supreme Court seeks replies of Centre, UP government, Ram temple trustSupreme Court has sought responses from the Centre, UP govt and Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust on temple donation embezzlement controversy.The bench said since an FIR has already been registered by the SIT constituted by UP govt, “We direct the SIT to submit a probe status report to the court”. The bench posted further hearing on July 20. UP govt had set up the SIT on June 13 following a complaint from the temple trust after allegations of misappropriation of temple donations went viral.The petitioners have also sought direction to Centre, UP govt and the trust to incorporate mandatory regulatory and supervisory audit mechanism in its functioning to ensure donations are neither siphoned off nor embezzled by unscrupulous elements, which hurt the sentiments of millions of devotees.The three-member SIT, comprising Lucknow divisional commissioner Vijay Vishwas Pant, IG Kiran S and special secretary (finance) Neel Ratan, has so far arrested eight accused, who are in judicial custody.The investigation reportedly found around 70 suspicious incidents between April 27 and June 5 after reviewing CCTV footage in which staff counting the money were seen concealing bundles of cash on their person.Following the controversy, trust general secretary Champat Rai and member Anil Mishra have stepped down. Their resignations were accepted by the trust on July 6. However, political parties such as Samajwadi Party and AAP have accused the UP govt of shielding the ‘big fish’.While petitioners Narendra Kumar Goswami, Ajay Kumar Rai and Dinesh Kumar Yadav sought CBI probe and audit of temple finances by CAG, Goswami sought safekeeping of electronic evidence, including CCTV footage.The third PIL by RJD MP Sudhakar Singh sought forensic audit of the finances of the temple, managed by the trust.

The government told the Supreme Court it is agreeable to introduce “comprehensive sex education” in schools/colleges NEW DELHI: The long-standing taboo around sex education is finally set to end in India, with the subject poised to become a formal part of school curriculum.The government on Monday told the Supreme Court it is agreeable to introduce “comprehensive sex education” in schools/colleges as recommended by a committee and it would be implemented once approval is received from the court.Appearing before a bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and R Mahadevan, additional solicitor general Aishwarya Bhati said government has accepted the report, which will be implemented across the country.The report has been filed in compliance with the apex court’s order to explore ways to prevent an increasing number of cases of minor pregnancy and adolescent love from being criminalised under the Pocso Act.Panel members suggest ‘child sexual abuse’ be made part of core syllabusCentral government had appointed a 26-member national expert committee headed by additional secretary, women and child development ministry, to examine issues concerning right to privacy of adolescents engaged in consensual sexual relationships, with particular reference to Pocso Act.The panel members — including experts from TISS, clinical psychologists, representative from various central ministries, state governments, NCPCR, NLSA — suggested subjects on “comprehensive sex education” and “child sexual abuse” be made part of core syllabus in schools. The panel said basic concepts of safety, body parts and hygiene; and concepts such as safe-unsafe touch may be introduced from the foundational stage. The committee has recommended NCERT develop the curriculum.The report said adolescent education should be implemented in schools and colleges in alignment with NEP- 2020. “Current adolescent education programmes, which integrate safety and security concerns with awareness on age-appropriate aspects of comprehensive sex education, may be reviewed and supplemented, as deemed fit so, as to fulfil NEP’s core principles of holistic development, critical thinking and building life skills,” it said.Appreciating the trailblazing report, senior advocates Madhavi Divan and Liz Mathew, who are assisting SC as amicus curiae, said there was need to enumerate “comprehensive sex education”. SC agreed to examine the issue and pass an appropriate order.The report suggested: “From primary school level onwards, a dedicated expert teacher should be assigned, and classes on these topics should be held mandatorily for at least 15-20 minutes, twice a week. Special meetings should be held for parents, guardians, and teachers to inform them about the developmental milestones of children and the importance of sex education.”Get the latest India news and live updates.
