Turmoil in both maternal and in-laws’ houses after Anju decides to settle in Pakistan post her Nikah with ‘friend’ Nasrulla Khan

The love story of Anju with Nasrulla, her ‘friend’ from across the border, has been in the news in both countries after she left India for Pakistan. Amidst the buzz of Anju converting her religion to Islam and performing Nikah with Nasrulla Khan, reports have emerged that trouble has mounted for her parents and in-laws’ after she decided to settle in Pakistan post her Nikah.

Anju was previously married to Arvind from Uttar Pradesh, however, recently reports emerged that Anju had changed her name to Fatima after converting her religion to Islam post nikah. Soon after this news, the Pakistani government became exceptionally kind to Anju aka Fatima. She received a job offer from a company on the orders of the Shehbaz Sharif-led administration.

A Pakistani businessman has given her a house worth 40 lakhs. Mohsin Khan Abbasi, the chief executive officer of a real estate company based in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, visited the couple at their residence and presented a cheque, the amount of which was not known, and a land document to make her feel at home in the country.

However, everything doesn’t seem to be fine in her newfound happiness. Her second husband’s life has reportedly become quite difficult as a result of their union. His family’s life as well as that of the neighbours has also turned more challenging.

Neighbours issue ultimatum to Anju’s new husband Nasrulla’s family

Nasrulla hails from the Upper Dir part of the region where women are expected to be meek and docile and aren’t allowed to wander outside their homes. Now, all of the local media wants to meet the couple after their marriage, but he is upset about the commotion and does not want to meet anyone.

Additionally, the locals and the lives of his family members are greatly disturbed as a result of the same. They like to maintain the calm and tranquillity of their hometown and prefer to keep to themselves. However, Anju’s arrival has led to serious concerns among the community. Nevertheless, upon asking they continued to refer to her as their guest.

According to her spouse’s family, they will soon take a decision regarding Anju and their son. They have been issued an ultimatum by certain villagers to resolve the conflict as quickly as possible and restore harmony to the hamlet. Otherwise, the couple will need to find another location to live.

Interestingly, the Pakistani man’s marriage was already fixed with his uncle’s daughter before he married his Indian partner and this has caused rifts between him and his family. Their future relationship was arranged when they were children. Pakistani media sources disclosed that he first introduced her to them as a friend before they subsequently got married in court. They mentioned that although she is our guest, he did wrong by lying about their relationship to us.

Anju’s kin face similar predicaments

Likewise, in Gwalior, her maternal relatives have been instructed to leave the village, and her brother lost his job due to her actions.

Meanwhile, her relationship with Arvind, her Indian husband, has become strained, with Arvind asserting that he does not intend to reconcile after feeling cheated. Arvind has stated that Anju’s Visa should be investigated and that her documents should be thoroughly checked. He also appealed to the Indian government to take strict action against the woman as he decides to part ways with her.

On the other hand, the information that Anju is in India has alerted the Pakistani security services. Her and Nasrulla Khan’s families are constantly under close police surveillance. Notably, her visa is set to expire on 21 August 2023, based on Pakistani police officials, who have instructed the latter to send her back to India immediately and notify them afterwards.

Anju and Nasrulla Khan grew closer online over time and cemented their bond through Facebook. Following the development, they both made the decision to meet in person. She eventually reached Pakistan on her passport after two years of effort. 

Their alleged love story and how she left her husband and two children to marry him is regularly discussed, particularly on social media. She initially tried to claim that she had travelled to the home of her ‘friend’ to attend a wedding. Anju in one of her videos said that she would return to India and that she had no plans to marry Nasrulla, a resident of Pakistan.

Later, however, it was revealed that she had converted to Islam and married her Pakistani lover, when last month, a video emerged where the duo could be seen having dinner with a group of men. In the video, Anju can also be seen wearing a burqa which is imposed upon women in Islam.

Before Anju, Seema Haider came to India with her four children from Karachi, Pakistan to be with her lover Sachin Meena who is from Noida in Uttar Pradesh. They married in a temple in Nepal and are staying at his home in Greater Noida’s Rabupura area.

‘Rights as Indian being violated’: India summons German Ambassador, seeks repatriation of baby Ariha at the earliest

‘Rights as Indian being violated’: India summons German Ambassador, seeks repatriation of baby Ariha at the earliest

The Ministry of External Affairs earlier this week summoned the German Ambassador Philipp Ackermann and asked him to ensure that the 28-month-old baby Ariha is repatriated to India as soon as possible. In a strong message sent to the German Envoy India said that the child’s cultural rights and rights as an Indian are being violated. 

Ariha Shah was seven months old when she was placed in the custody of Germany’s Youth Welfare Office on September 23, 2021, after she suffered an accidental injury. 

Speaking on the matter, MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said on Thursday (August 3) that “high priority” is being given to the case and the German Ambassador has been summoned this week in this regard. German authorities have been asked to bring back the baby girl at the earliest, he said, adding that the MEA is in touch with them. 

“We are giving high priority to this case… We have called the German Ambassador this week regarding this. We’ve asked the German authorities to bring back the child at the earliest. We are in touch with the German authorities,” Bagchi told the media, assuring that India will continue to press the German authorities on the matter. 

The Ministry of External Affairs and the Embassy of India in Berlin have been persistently advocating for the return of Ariha Shah to India. Earlier in June this year, Arindam Bagchi had pleaded with the German government “to do all necessary to send Ariha to India as soon as possible, which is also her inalienable right as an Indian national.”

In a letter to the German ambassador to India, Philipp Ackermann, earlier in June, 59 members of Parliament representing 19 political parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party, Congress, the Left, and the Trinamool Congress asked him to take all necessary steps to facilitate the little girl’s return to India as soon as possible.

On 16th March 2023, Arindam Bagchi – the spokesperson of the External Affairs Ministry said in a press conference that the foreign secretary is dealing with the issue of the 3-year-old girl Ariha Shah who is in German child rights custody for the last one-and-half year.

German court rejects custody pleas of her Indian parents; hands over the child to local agency

Despite repeated appeals made by the government of India, on June 13, a district court in Pankow, Germany, refused custody of Ariha Shah, a 28-month-old Indian girl, to her biological parents and handed her to Jugendamt, the German juvenile services in two separate judgments.

The court rejected Dhara and Bhavesh Shah’s request to have the child returned to them directly or, at the very least, given to a third party, the Indian Welfare Services, and instead handed over the child to Jugendamt.

The court declared that the Central Youth Welfare Office of Berlin would be responsible for making decisions regarding her whereabouts while acting as her temporary guardian

Ariha Shah was 14 months old when German authorities took her into custody

The Shah family members have also started an online petition to gather public support to get their daughter back into custody. In this petition, the details of the ordeal are also described. According to this petition, Ariha Shah’s father was posted in Germany on a work visa as a software engineer. In September 2021, the infant Ariha Shah was accidentally hurt by his paternal grandmother. When her parents brought her to the hospital, they were charged with sexual assault and the baby was taken away.

It is said in the petition that the criminal inquiry was concluded without charges in February 2022, but Ariha Shah is still in the custody of German authorities. Berlin Child Services has filed a civil custody case to terminate the parental rights of the Shah couple. This lawsuit will take 2-3 years to complete, the petition said.

19 accused in Nuh violence sent to 14-day judicial custody, internet services partially restored in violence-hit areas

Three days after violence erupted in the Nuh region of Haryana after an Islamist mob attacked Jalabhishek Yatra by Hindus, police have released pictures of rioters involved in the riots. Meanwhile, a sessions court has sentenced 19 accused rioters to 14-day judicial custody.

Internet and SMS services partially restored in violence-hit areas of Haryana

Meanwhile, internet and SMS services have been partially restored in several violence-hit areas. The internet and sms services have been partially restored in Nuh, Faridabad, and Palwal as well as areas of Gurugram such as Sohna, Pataudi and Manesar. The police said that no fresh incidents of violence have been reported.

Internet access has been partially restored in order to facilitate candidates who will attempt a Haryana state government exam this week. The internet was restricted in the violence-torn areas to prevent any disruption to peace and public order in the aftermath of the communal riots.

According to Nuh SP Varun Singla, 14 companies of the central paramilitary forces were deployed, as were 21 companies of the Haryana Police. Day and night, vigilance is maintained. The sense of normalcy is returning. Four new FIRs have been registered in the last 24 hours.

176 arrests so far: Haryana government

According to Haryana Government’s Additional Chief Secretary Home, TVSN Prasad, 93 FIRs have been registered in five districts. 46 FIRs have been filed in Nuh, 3 in Faridabad, and 23 in Gurugram. “As of now, there have been 176 arrests and 78 preventive detentions…For us, national interest comes first. Peace must be maintained, and offensive posts must be avoided.”

Haryana government forms committee to monitor social media platforms for provocative material

Meanwhile, the Haryana government has formed a committee to monitor social media platforms in order to prevent provocative material/videos/photographs/hate speech, etc. from being spread and to ensure law and order in addition to communal harmony. The committee will work with the appropriate agencies to implement remedial/corrective measures in this case.

The deputy commissioner urged people to stay indoors, venture outside only for essential tasks, and disregard any circulating rumours.

Vehicles were burnt and stones pelted at the Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s Jalabhishek Yatra as Islamists unleashed violence against thousands of Hindus in the Muslim-dominated region of Nuh, Mewat in Haryana.

‘Situation was extremely critical, constant firing kept coming from 3 sides’: ADGP Mamata Singh recalls how police saved 3000 Hindus during Nuh violence

Massive violence gripped Haryana’s Nuh district on July 31 after a Muslim mob attacked the Jalabhishek procession organized by Hindus. Mamata Singh, ADGP Law and Order, spoke to the media about the critical situation that developed in Nuh on the day Islamists unleashed mayhem on the streets and the difficulties the police encountered in evacuating the Hindus who were left stuck in the temple.

Mamata Singh led the police squad that saved the 2500–3000 Hindus who were trapped in a hostage situation at the Nalhar temple on the fateful day.

In a video shared on Twitter by India TV, the IPS officer recounted how the Islamists, armed with stones and sophisticated weapons, carried out the planned attack on the Hindu devotees who had reached there to take part in the Jalabhishek Yatra on the auspicious Monday of the Shravan month.

Describing the situation in Nuh on the day the violence happened to be extremely critical, the IPS officer said that when she reached there she was told that there were 2500 to 3000 people who were trapped in the Nalhar Temple.

Further explaining the challenges the police faced while trying to save the Hindus trapped in the Nalhar Temple, Mamata Singh recalled how large-scale firing continued to happen from the hills surrounding the temple on three sides. The IPS officer added that though police were present there in large numbers they were hugely outnumbered by the rioters.

“In a situation like this, it was no less than a challenge for the police to free the trapped Hindu devotees, which included several women, small children and the aged. Since the rioters kept spraying bullets from all three sides, we asked our policemen to use retaliatory firing so that we could get cover which would, in turn, help us enter the Temple and free the trapped devotees,” recalled ADGP Mamata Singh.

Continuing to divulge more details of the mayhem unleashed by Islamists in the Nuh district during the rally, the IPS officer said, “Even when it was about to get dark, the shooting continued. The rioters were deliberately firing in the direction where they spotted people gathered in greater numbers rather than targeting a specific individual in order to cause the most damage. Going by the severity of the situation, we realised that we would have to evacuate the devotees in small groups.”

“I first led the women out of the temple. They were all petrified. In such a situation, we had to pacify them, assure them that they would be safe as well as make sure that they were safely evacuated. It was a mammoth task,” Mamata Singh said, adding that she had to lead the devotees through the fields since the size and scale of the arson on all the roads leading to the temples was so huge that those routes could not be used.

Upon being questioned on the role of social media in mobilising the rioters, Mamata Singh said that there were certain objectionable posts that were removed and that their technical team is still at work.

Notably, Central authorities and ministries have launched a massive crackdown on around 100 social media handles that have been exceedingly engaged and continuously participating in circulating misinformation about the Nuh violence. According to the police, they are utilising the disturbance in Haryana to forward their nefarious objective, which could weaken the law and order situation or further destabilise the peace in the state.

As many as six people have been killed in the violence which gripped Haryana’s Nuh on July 31. The Haryana Police has arrested 116 people involved in the riots which spilt over into Palwal, Faridabad and Gurugram after stones were pelted by an Islamic mob on a Yatra by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).

The consolidated list of 7 FIRs revealing how rioters targeted police during Nuh violence can be read here. OpIndia’s complete coverage of the Mewat Shobha Yatra Attack can be checked here.

Nuh violence: Islamists use visuals of armed cops in plain-clothes to spread fake news that Hindu devotees in Jalabhishek Yatra were carrying guns

Nuh violence: Islamists use visuals of armed cops in plain-clothes to spread fake news that Hindu devotees in Jalabhishek Yatra were carrying guns

One of the many propaganda being spread by the Islamist ecosystem with regards Nuh violence is a video of a bunch of men armed with guns retaliating in defence to the hostile attacks by the Muslim mob from surrounding hills.

Self-proclaimed journalist Aasif Mujtaba on 1st August, a day after the violent Islamist mob attacked Hindu devotees in Nuh, Mewat – shared the video with the caption, “A goon with an automatic gun right in-front of a policemen is said to be from the violence site today at #Mewat. Decide for yourself, the role of state police in protecting the goons.”

The video shows innocent Hindu devotees hiding behind vehicles under police cover and some armed men in civilian clothing – whom the propagandist Mujtaba called referred to as goons – defending them against attacks from jihadis hiding in the dense hills.

However, the men in civilian clothes carrying guns are not part of the procession, they were in fact cops in civilian clothes.

While some policemen were in uniform, some were crime branch officials in civil clothes protecting the Nalhar Shiva temple and its devotees from the jihadi attackers. This detail was conveniently ignored, more likely hidden by Mujtaba. Not only did he peddle lies but also used the footage to propagate a twisted narrative – that the cops (in uniform) were protecting armed goons (who were really crime branch officials in civilian clothing working along with the police).

A Hindu man can be heard in the video assuring that police officials are present “armed with Sten Guns yet a lot of firing is happening (from the mob’s side) but no need to be afraid”. And he completes by saying, “Jai Gau Mata Ki”. Imagine the picture that Islamist Mujtaba tried to paint with a video that includes a Hindu religious greeting in audio and his caption falsely propagating that the armed security officials were goons.

The tweet by Aasif Mujtaba has not been deleted yet even after being fact-checked and exposed by several Twitter users in the comments section. Twitter user The Hawk Eye fact-checked Mujtaba accusing him of sharing fake information. Another Twitter user Professor Abdul Kitabi wrote, “He is not a goon, rather a police jawan. Check your facts.”

Twitter user Ankur Singh also called out Mujtaba’s propaganda.

Moreover, as part of the large Islamist-leftist-liberal ecosystem, he also blamed Hindus for the Nuh violence in stark opposition to the fact that the violence was sparked by a Muslim mob when a group of Hindus were holding a peaceful religious rally.

Aasif Mujtaba is unfortunately and IIT Delhi graduate who has been propagating hate against Hindus and spreading fake news to project the usual “muslims in danger in India” narrative. In December 2022, the so-called activist and social worker, Aasif Mujtaba, said that Jamia University was not created to become a centre of excellence but for “Muslims to learn to resist.”

Aasif Mujtaba, along with journalist Ghazala Ahmad, was invited to Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) to speak on the topic: ‘Relevance of Universities in Shaping Public Opinion’ in the context of challenges and opportunities in post-2019 India. The talk was organised to mark the third anniversary of the 2019 anti-CAA protests at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh.

‘Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will protect the rights of all citizens, allow expansion of innovation economy’: MoS Rajeev Chandrasekhar

After the introduction of The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023 in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that this Bill is a very significant milestone in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision which will protect the rights of all citizens. 

Taking to Twitter Chandrasekhar said that “DPDPBill introduced in #Parliament is a very significant milestone in PM Narendra Modi ji’s vision of Global Standard Cyber Laws for India’s $1T DigitalEconomy and #IndiaTechade.”

He further explained that “This new Bill after it is passed by Parliament, will protect the rights of ALL citizens, allow the innovation economy to expand and permit Govt’s lawful n legitimate access in national security and emergencies like pandemics and earthquakes etc.” 

Meanwhile, the Sources said that the discussion on the bill will be held on August 7. 

“DPDPBill is a global standard, Contemporary, FutureReady yet simple and easy to understand,” he mentioned. 
Earlier today, Union Communications, Electronics, and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw introduced Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023, in the Lok Sabha.

Opposition members strongly opposed the introduction of the bill and said that the bill violates the fundamental right to privacy. They demanded that the bill should be sent to the standing committee for scrutiny. They said the government had withdrawn a bill on data protection last year and the new bill needs more scrutiny.

Vaishnaw said that it is not a money bill and all issues raised by the opposition will be answered during the debate.
The bill provides for the processing of digital personal data in a manner “that recognizes both the right of individuals to protect their personal data and the need to process such personal data for lawful purposes”.

In view of the feedback from stakeholders and various agencies, the Bill was withdrawn in August 2022. On November 18, 2022, the government published a new draft Bill, titled the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill 2022, and initiated a public consultation on this draft.

A comprehensive and detailed consultation was held on this subject. 21,666 comments were received from the public and a series of consultations were held with 46 sector organisations, associations and industry bodies.

Comments were also received from 38 ministries/departments of the Government of India. The reintroduced draft Digital Personal Data Protection Bill 2022 proposed six types of penalties on non-companies to companies.

To prevent a personal data breach, a penalty of up to Rs 250 crore is being proposed in the draft bill which was put out for public comments. Besides, failure to notify the Board and affected Data Principals in the event of a personal data breach and non-fulfilment of additional obligations in relation to children may attract a penalty of up to Rs 200 crore.

Non-fulfilment of additional obligations of Significant Data Fiduciary under sections 11 and 16 of the Act may attract Rs 150 crore and Rs 10 crore fines, respectively.

Lastly, non-compliance with provisions of this Act other than those listed in (1) to (5) and any rule made thereunder will attract penalties up to Rs 50 crore. Points that emerged in the course of consultations and comments were thoroughly studied and the draft Digital Personal Data Protection Bill 2023 was finalised.

The purpose of this Act, the draft said, is to provide for the processing of digital personal data in a manner that recognizes both the right of individuals to protect their personal data and the need to process personal data for lawful purposes.

During the drafting of the Personal Data Protection Bill in 2019, the government said that the entire gamut of principles was widely debated and discussed. These include the rights of individuals, duties of entities processing personal data and regulatory framework, among others.

The first principle of the proposed Bill is that usage of personal data by organisations must be done in a manner that is lawful, fair to the individuals concerned and transparent. The second principle of purpose limitation is that the personal data is used for the purposes for which it was collected.

The third principle of data minimisation is that only those items of personal data required for attaining a specific purpose must be collected. Among others, personal data should be limited to such duration as is necessary for the stated purpose for which personal data was collected and reasonable safeguards to ensure that there is no unauthorised collection or processing of personal data are some features.

Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee moves Supreme Court challenging Allahabad HC order allowing ASI survey of Gyanvapi premises

Hours after the Allahabad High Court allowed the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to conduct a survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi, the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee has moved to the Supreme Court challenging the verdict.

The Advocate of the Masjid Committee mentioned the matter before Supreme Court not to allow ASI to carry out the survey.

However, Supreme Court says it will look into the issue.

Allahabad High Court on Thursday allowed the ASI to conduct a survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi.

“Allahabad High Court has said that the ASI survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex will start. Sessions court order is upheld by the High Court,” Vishnu Shankar Jain, representing the Hindu side in the Gyanvapi survey case told reporters.

The Allahabad High Court dismissed Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee’s plea, challenging the ASI survey of the mosque complex, adjacent to Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi.

The Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee had challenged the Varanasi District Judge’s July 21 order.

On July 21, Varanasi district judge AK Vishvesha ordered the ASI survey of the Gyanvapi complex on an application moved by four Hindu women on May 16, 2023.

The order of the district judge, however, excluded the Wuzu Khana (ablution pond area) of the complex, which has been sealed on the order of the top court.

Earlier, the Allahabad High Court asked the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to not start the survey of Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi as the hearing on the matter is underway after Supreme Court put on hold till 5 pm July 26 a detailed scientific survey by the ASI to determine if the mosque located next to the Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi was built upon a temple.

The court was hearing a plea against a district court order directing the ASI to conduct the controversial survey.

UP: Irfan poses as Rahul to lure Hindu girl, makes her private pictures viral on social media

On Wednesday, August 2, a Hindu girl filed a complaint at Rahimabad police station in Lucknow accusing a Muslim man named Irfan of posing as a Hindu named Rahul to lure her into his love trap, circulating her private pictures online, and pressuring her to convert to Islam. 

According to media reports, the accused Irfan resides in Rahimabad Shahkheda in Lucknow while the victim is a resident of Beniganj in Hardoi. Two years ago, the victim received a call from an unknown number, and the accused, Irfan, introduced himself as Rahul. They started talking frequently and grew close. Later, the accused proposed to marry the victim and the victim accepted his proposal. The girl’s family, however, was against their union, and the girl’s father inquired about Rahul.

The victim’s father learnt that the man posing as Rahul is actually a Muslim man named Irfan. Upon learning the truth, the girl distanced herself from the accused and stopped talking to him. Miffed over this, the accused started to threaten the girl to make her private pictures viral on social media. 

Irfan, the accused, then learned through the victim’s friends that the victim’s marriage had been fixed with a Hindu man. Outraged by this, Irfan then circulated the victim’s pictures on social media. Consequently, the victim’s marriage was called off. After that, the victim’s father went to the police station in Rahimabad Shahikheda to file a complaint against Irfan, but Irfan’s family members tried to attack him. The incident was reported after the neighbourhood residents intervened and brought the victim’s father to the police station. The girl was allegedly under Irfan’s influence to convert to Islam. 

A Jagran report states that the victim’s father was assaulted when he went to accused Irfan’s house to confront him over making his daughter’s pictures viral online.

According to reports, the victim and her father complained about the matter in letters to senior officials and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Even though a case has been filed, the accused has not yet been arrested.

They want control of vigilance to hide corruptions like building bungalows: Amit Shah tears into AAP over opposition to NCT bill, slams I.N.D.I.A. for supporting AAP

Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticises the opposition I.N.D.I.A. alliance for supporting AAP in opposing the Govt of NCT of Delhi Bill, saying that the politics of supporting or opposing legislation just to get someone’s support is not right. Urging the opposition parties to “not sacrifice the interests of the people for the sake of an alliance,” Amit Shah said during the Lok Sabha’s discussion of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 that the Centre is permitted under the Constitution to pass legislation for Delhi.

“I request the members of all the parties that such politics should not be done to support or oppose any bill to win elections, to get someone’s support,” Shah said in the Lok Sabha on 3 August. 

The union home minister further charged that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Delhi government’s objective was to only dispute and not serve. It is notable that AAP has opposed the Delhi services bill and has asked other opposition parties to support it for the same. He added that the Delhi administration sought to “hide their corruption” and “the bungalow’s truth” not control over transfer assignments, which is the real reason behind the disagreement over the bill.

Amit Shah said that the administrative arrangement in Delhi was working fine under various governments until AAP came to power in 2015. The Gandhinagar MP accused, “In the year 2015, a party came to power in Delhi whose only motive was to fight, not serve. Chief ministers from multiple parties held office in Delhi. There were coalition and one-party governments, but no one had any trouble serving the people and the country.”

He said that the aim of the party is not to work for people but to “fight” with the Centre. He further continued, “The problem is not getting the right to do transfer postings, but getting control of the vigilance department to hide their corruption like building their bungalows”.

Additionally, he urged opposition MPs to consider Delhi when voting for the bill rather than their alliance. “I appeal to the opposition MPs to think about Delhi, not their alliance,” he urged, saying, “I request the members of all the parties that such politics should not be done to support or oppose any bill to win elections, to get someone’s support,” he urged.

Asserting that this legislation is good for the country, the Union Minister said that it should be opposed or supported for the good of the country or Delhi, not for the sake of the alliance. “There are many ways to form new alliances. Bills and Acts are for the good of the country. It should be opposed or supported for the good of the country or Delhi… One should not think in a way that we have to support while being in opposition because we have to form an alliance,” he said.  

Amit Shah added that opposition was not going to benefit from opposing the bill, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to become PM with a full majority. “Therefore, do not sacrifice the interests of the people for the sake of this alliance. The public is watching everything,” he added. 

Amit Shah presented the Delhi services bill, also known as the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, before Parliament on 1 August. The legislation will take the place of an existing ordinance that empowers the Central Government to make rules in connection with the affairs of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi including the functions, terms and other conditions of service of officers and employees.

Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP and the centre have been at odds over the ordinance. “The Constitution gives Parliament all right to bring any law with respect to Delhi,” the Bharatiya Janata Party stalwart declared when introducing the bill in Parliament. It suggested that the centre would be in charge of decisions on suspensions and inquiries involving officials in the national capital.

The INDIA bloc parties would oppose the measure, according to the AAP, which dubbed it the “most undemocratic” piece of legislation that sought to consolidate authority and limit state governments’ sovereignty.
