Nation Seeks Clarity From Indian Court Over Court Judgement On Zakia Ahsan Jafri

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 15, 20220

More than 450 pages of "annexures" are included in the Supreme Court of India's ruling in Zakia Ahsan Jafri v State of Gujarat (2022). For those who don't know what they're looking at, it would appear like Narendra Modi and Amit Shah were acquitted after a lengthy trial in which they were charged with crimes against humanity. It's not, unfortunately. It is, ironically, putting together all the facts and evidence to prove that these two political leaders do not need to face any criminal charges. When the Court dismissed the necessity to look into the circumstances behind Judge Brijgopal Harkishan Loya's death, it used the same manoeuvre (Tehseen Poonawalla v Union of India [2018]). In both the Loya and Jafri cases, the petition was to begin an inquiry rather than to reach a conclusion on...

Palaniswami Outsmarts Panneerselvam? A Cult Leader Likely To Win Next Election As Per AIADMK

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 15, 20220

Edappadi K Palaniswami seized leadership of AIADMK and expelled O Panneerselvam after an unusual experiment in Indian politics: a party jointly governed by two leaders. The partnership between EPS and OPS was first established in 2017 and has been going strong ever since. As the chief minister of Tamil Nadu and a co-convener of the AIADMK, EPS and OPS worked together to remove an imprisoned VK Sasikala. A four-year prison sentence that began in February 2017 snatched control of the party from her hands after Jayalalithaa's death in 2016. AIADMK's tumultuous history is unique in Indian politics. Sasikala has a soft spot for OPS and EPS in her music collection at one point or another. Even though OPS is now in disgrace, she had already chosen him as her successor on two previous times...

Digging Deep To Dissect The Colossal Chaos In Maharashtra

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 15, 20220

The BJP-Shiv Sena combo won India's 2019 parliamentary and Maharashtra state legislature elections. Every seat has a poster of Narendra Modi or Devendra Fadnavis. Both parties' candidates lauded the double-engine sarkar's quick expansion, iron-fisted law and order, and focus on Hindu nationalism. Even Uddhav Thackeray attended rallies where the BJP's national leadership promised that Modi and Fadnavis will rule the government if Maharashtra was re-elected. Sharad Pawar, Sonia Gandhi, and Sanjay Raut urged Uddhav Thackeray to forge an artificial coalition with the NCP and Congress. Thackeray's NCP and Congress allies rapidly took control, leaving Thackeray and his son Aaditya as bystanders. Maharashtra had three years of NCP-Congress governance before 2014, and it saw frequent ter...

Japan Considers Changing Constitution: A Pandora’s Box To Be Unleashed

Vikas DeshwalJuly 13, 20220

Japan's ruling party, led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and its alliance partner, scored a significant victory in a recent election. At a press conference on Monday, Kishida said that he wants a smooth parliamentary debate in the short moment over four constitutional amendments suggested by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), including writing the amendment for Self-Defence Forces into article 9 of the Constitution. Many experts think the barriers for Tokyo to change its Constitution have been cleared, and the likelihood of constitutional changes is more than ever before. The current Constitution of Japan was implemented in 1947, and its ninth article clearly stated that "land, sea, and air forces, and another war potential, will never be formed" and "the right of the belligerence o
