The apex court was hearing a plea filed by Upadhyay contending that the Waqf Act was totally against the secularism, unity and integrity of the nation as the law was made to administer the properties of Muslims but there were no similar laws for followers of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jain-ism, Sikhism, Judaism, Bahaism, Zoroastrianism and Christianity.
As the petition also raised questions on the impartiality of the judicial officer who is part of the tribunal set up under law, Justice Joseph said that such contention was shocking as a judicial officer decides the case on the basis of law and asked senior advocate Ranjit Kumar, appearing for the petitioner, whether he also believed so.

Amit Shah’s 1st Bihar visit since break with Nitish https://linkpunjabi.com/2022/08/amit-shahs-1st-bihar-visit-since-break-with-nitish-1525/ Tue, 30 Aug 2022 04:39:40 +0000 https://linkpunjabi.com/2022/08/amit-shahs-1st-bihar-visit-since-break-with-nitish-india-news-times-of-india-1525/ [ad_1]

Union home minister Amit Shah will visit the Seemanchal region during his two-day visit to Bihar next month, his first after CM Nitish Kumar dumped BJP to form the grand alliance government with the support of RJD, Congress and others.
Aimed at rejuvenating BJP in the state, the Union minister’s visit will combine both official and political agenda. State BJP spokesman Prem Ranjan Patel said Shah will address a rally of party workers and BJP supporters from 11 districts of Seemanchal at Purnia on September 23.
The next day, he will hold an official meeting at Kishanganj concerning the Seemanchal districts. While seven districts of Purnia and Kosi divisions along or close to the Indo-Nepal border are strategically very sensitive from the point of national security, the four districts of Purnia, Katihar, Araria and Kishanganj have a significant chunk of Muslim population. These have been on the BJP’s political map for long owing to infiltration from Bangladesh. Recently, fears have also surfaced on the likely formation of sleeper cells of militant groups in the area.
