NEW DELHI: With the JPC deciding to defer the report on the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhisthan bill, Trinamool Congress MP Sagarika Ghose said the opposition forced the govt to put a hold on the controversial legislation that would destroy the education sector.Ghose said, “The shelving of the bill is a big win for the opposition. Trinamool Congress pushed back against the VBSA bill which is anti-student and anti-federalism.”TMC sources said the bill exceeds the constitutional parameters while making higher education the preserve of the rich. “It attacks federalism, creates a massive centralized structure and rule by New Delhi. It destroys academic freedom and constitutes a narrow interpretation of Bharatiya Knowledge Systems based on only one religion.”A senior TMC leader claimed the govt intends to demolish the UGC, in the absence of which the universities will take loans and repayment of the loans will lead to hiking of fees. “How will poor students afford education,” she asked.The bill was strongly opposed by Congress, DMK, Shiv Sena while, it is reported, govt ally TDP too had reservations over it.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

The first shift runs from 8 am to 2 pm, while the second operates from 2 pm to 8 pm.The trust has appointed Shobhnath Mishra as the new in-charge of cash counting after his predecessor, Subhash Shrivastava, was sent to jail in connection with the alleged donation theft case.To strengthen monitoring, the trust has appointed four supervisors, including a former serviceman, to oversee the counting process.Trust security in-charge and former Army officer Captain KK Tiwari has been designated the senior in-charge and will be responsible for submitting daily reports on the exercise.Former defence personnel SP Dubey and Sheshmani Tiwari have also been appointed as trust representatives to supervise the cash-counting process.The alleged embezzlement of Ram Temple donations came to light in the first week of June, following which the Uttar Pradesh government constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) on June 13 to investigate the matter.After the SIT submitted its preliminary report on June 23, an FIR was registered on June 25. Eight accused—Avinash Shukla, Anukalp Mishra, Lavkush Mishra, Manish Kumar Yadav, Karunesh Pandey, Ramashankar Mishra, Subhash Srivastava and Ramashankar Yadav alias Tinnu Yadav—were arrested.During the investigation, police recovered cash from several accused, with the highest recovery of Rs 20.39 lakh from Avinash Shukla. Authorities also seized gold, silver, foreign currency and a donation box marked “Ramrajya Kosh.”Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Delhi Police rejected these claims terming them “false and misleading”.”Geetanjali ji’s hair was pulled by Delhi Police; she was assaulted. A 12-year-old girl’s head has been broken. Forty to fifty others have also suffered head injuries. Delhi Police, what is going on!?” CJP spokesperson Saurav Das said in a post on X. Watch Sonam Wangchuk’s Wife Opposes Medical Treatment Without Consent; Abhijeet Dipke Begins Hunger StrikeDelhi police rejected these claims saying: “False information is being currently circulated on social media regarding the posts claim that an individual named Geetanjali, a 12-year-old girl was assaulted, had her hair pulled, sustained a head injury, and approximately 40 to 50 other individuals suffered broken heads. This information is false. The claims being circulated in the posts are not true. Please do not spread or amplify false or misleading information.”To this, Das clarified: “To be clear: Sonam Wangchuk’s partner, @GitanjaliAngmo’s hair was pulled. She was assaulted by the Delhi Police. A brutal crackdown is ongoing at Jantar Mantar.”The Delhi Police has said that the protest is being “handled professionally” and denied any allegations of “violence or detentions” earlier today.”Some segments from the media have mentioned sporadic use of violence/detentions at Jantar Mantar by Delhi Police. It is informed that no such incident has taken place and the protest is being handled professionally,” the police statement on X said.”All are requested not to fall prey to any rumour/misgivings, and to assist Delhi Police in maintaining peace and public order at and around the site,” it said.However, videos circulating on social media appeared to show police using a lathi charge to disperse the protesters.Some Delhi Police personnel were also injured during clash with the protesters, ANI reported.Protesters participating in the march continued their demonstration despite heavy police barricading, lathi charge and the use of tear gas. Refusing to disperse, the protesters said they would not end their agitation until their demands were met and raised slogans calling for the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.The protest, which started at Jantar Mantar, caused major traffic disruptions across parts of central Delhi as heavy security was deployed to manage the swelling crowd.Delhi Police said prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), equivalent to the former Section 144 of the CrPC, are in effect across the New Delhi district. Under these restrictions, marches, demonstrations, processions and gatherings of five or more people are barred unless they have prior permission to assemble at the designated protest site at Jantar Mantar.The police said heightened security measures have been put in place with the Parliament’s Monsoon Session beginning on July 20 to maintain law and order and safeguard key government installations and protected individuals.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

During the hearing, the bench said, “It is a simple case of commission of crime. We are only here to ensure a proper investigation. Courts are not a place for politics.” The court also asked the parties not to politicise the issue.The Supreme Court asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to take instructions on whether a Special Investigation Team (SIT) could be set up to probe the alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ram temple.Responding to the court, the solicitor general said an SIT had already been constituted and that the Uttar Pradesh Police was investigating the case.The matter has been posted for further hearing on July 27, when the Uttar Pradesh government will apprise the court about the progress of the SIT probe.The investigation gathered pace after the SIT submitted an interim report that led to the registration of an FIR, the arrest of eight accused and the recovery of nearly Rs 80 lakh allegedly siphoned off from temple donations. The probe also triggered the resignations of former Trust general secretary Champat Rai and former trustee Anil Mishra.According to sources, the SIT has sought additional time to examine financial records, administrative procedures and the alleged irregularities before submitting its final report. The report is also expected to recommend reforms in the temple’s donation collection, counting and administrative systems.The petitions before the Supreme Court seek a court-monitored CBI investigation, a forensic audit and a CAG audit of the Trust’s finances, while questioning the adequacy of the ongoing state probe. The Trust is scheduled to meet in Ayodhya on July 22 to discuss the SIT’s findings and consider corrective measures based on its recommendations.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
