NEW DELHI: As the Centre justified on Wednesday the detention of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk by pointing out his alleged inflammatory speeches and the use of Gandhian principles as a facade, Supreme Court said that it was reading too much into his statements.Solicitor general Tushar Mehta told the court that the govt won’t review Wangchuk’s detention order on medical grounds as he is “hale and hearty”. Mehta said that the activist was being taken care of in jail and had a minor infection. SC had last week asked the Centre to rethink his continued detention. Sonam Wangchuk’s Wife Blasts Modi Govt & CRPF Over 6Th Schedule, Dismisses FCRA, Pak Link Charges Wangchuk drew comparisons with Chinese, Pakistani provinces: GovtReferring to one of the speeches, a bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and P B Varale said that the activist was himself worried about people resorting to violent protest and that any conclusion has to be drawn by reading the entire speech. Additional solicitor general K M Natraj contended that the speeches and statements were meant to incite people to resort to violent means of protest against govt and he invoked the name of Gandhi and his principles to shield himself.The bench asked if it is objectionable if someone says that he is worried about people abandoning Gandhian principles and resorting to violence. As govt referred to his various speeches and interviews given in previous years, the bench asked it to refer to only those which led to the violence in Sept last year. The ASG alleged that Sonam Wangchuk tried to internationalise the domestic issue of Ladakh, made statements about referendums and plebiscites, and drew comparisons of Ladakh with Chinese and Pakistani provinces. The apex court had earlier directed the authority to conduct a medical examination of Wangchuk by a specialised doctor and file the report before it. The activist is currently lodged in Jodhpur jail. The medical report was placed before the court at the last hearing.

Mamata Banerjee NEW DELHI: Constitutional position is unambiguous on a CM refusing to resign after her defeat in an assembly election — once the polls have been concluded and certificates issued to the elected MLAs by the EC, the outgoing House automatically stands dissolved and its successor has to be constituted with the appointment of a new CM by the governor, who invites the representative of the largest party, or an alliance, to form govt. On Tuesday, outgoing Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee stoked a controversy by claiming, in a first, that she would not resign since she has not lost the elections, disregarding TMC’s debacle and her defeat in the Bhabanipur constituency to BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari by more than 15,000 votes.Also Read | With Mamata’s nemesis Suvendu Adhikari, Amit Shah plotted her downfall Legal experts, however, are of the view that Banerjee has no option but to go and pave the way for a new govt after the tenure of the assembly expires on May 8. “Any person dissatisfied with the results can file an election petition qua individual position and constituency within 45 days of the declaration of results. Obviously, there can be no mass or mega election petitions. Equally, and obviously, the power to file such challenges in court cannot detract from the unquestionable obligation to resign and vacate CM’s chair the moment the election certificates are issued by the Election Commission. . Maybe it is a rhetorical outburst, but the legal position is clear that she has to resign (on her party being defeated in the assembly elections),” constitutional expert and senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi told TOI. “This is the inexorable cycle of democracy and necessarily must be followed by all without exception. The continuance of an incumbent chief minister, after an election defeat, unfortunately will be consequentially legally void,” he added. Senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, an expert on constitutional laws, said that if the CM does not resign, then the governor of the state concerned has the power to dismiss her. “There is no question of two CMs under the constitutional scheme. Constitutional morality and electoral mandate make it a must for the incumbent CM to resign and make way for the political party, which secured a majority, to form govt under their representative,” he said. “The moment a new assembly is constituted, the party which won the majority in the polls will elect its representative, who will stake its claim to form govt before the governor. The governor has no option but to call the party commanding a majority in the House to form govt. If Mamata does not resign, the governor can dismiss her,” he said.

. NEW DELHI: With drones emerging as a prime source of low-altitude threats at sensitive airports, particularly in J&K and Punjab, the CISF, which guards 72 airports across the country, has tied up with the Indian Army to equip its personnel with advanced capabilities to detect, track and neutralise hostile unmanned aerial systems (UAVs). Simultaneously, 659 personnel from its specialised aviation security group have undergone rigorous ‘military-grade battle inoculation training’ to prepare for quick response teams (QRTs) to be deployed at all CISF-protected airports by the year-end.The progress of the counter-drone training programme and the battle inoculation training for airport QRTs was reviewed at an operational review for the CISF’s north sector and airport sector, chaired by CISF DG Praveer Ranjan in Chandigarh on Friday. The meeting took stock of the progression of key technological and operational upgrades across the commercial airports under CISF protection. Discussions centred on reinforcing perimeter security at airports, upgrading surveillance networks and adopting next-generation screening tools, including full body scanners, to maintain world-class aviation security standards.Senior officers and commanders of various CISF units participated in the meeting, which saw detailed discussions on strengthening security preparedness, enhancing response capabilities through better inter-agency coordination, and the adoption of advanced technologies for the protection of critical infrastructure and civil aviation installations.Addressing the commanders, the DG said: “CISF remains fully committed to ensuring the safety and security of the nation’s critical infrastructure and providing a secure environment for citizens through proactive, technology-driven, and responsive security measures.”With Operation Sindoor having exposed the threat of drone intrusions from across the western border, the review focused on ensuring effective counter-response in strategically sensitive regions like J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana and Gujarat. Emphasis was also laid on strengthening preparedness against sabotage and disasters.The meeting reviewed joint training initiatives being undertaken with the Indian Army and other agencies in the areas of counter-terrorism, quick reaction response and disaster management.Initiatives to modernise the aviation sector with key technological and operational upgrades across the commercial airports under its protection were discussed. A review was taken on the ongoing trial of full-body scanners at Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Kochi airports. The three-month trial report will be shared with the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), which is likely to recommend the installation of FBS across all airports with footfall of over 5 million passengers per annum.CISF is also set to roll out the 2-D barcode reader system, which will help scan/track airport staff with a barcode and CCTV camera as they move within airport premises and pinpoint any unauthorised access to critical terminal zones.About the AuthorBharti JainBharti Jain is senior editor with The Times of India, New Delhi.
