#Harsimrat Kaur Badal

[news365timesindia]

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 2nd Feb. Amid sharp criticism from the opposition, Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has strongly defended the Union Budget, calling it a significant step toward achieving Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India). Addressing concerns over Bihar-centric allocations, Manjhi insisted that the budget is designed to benefit the entire nation, including underdeveloped regions like the North East. Focus on North East and Bihar Development Manjhi emphasized that PM Modi has been deeply concerned about the development of the North East and has been actively working to improve the region’s infrastructure and economy. He dismissed allegations that the budget disproportionately favored Bihar, stating that it provides benefits for all sections of society. He also expressed gratitude for the formation of a Makhana Board, a new initiative aimed at boosting foxnut production, processing, and marketing, benefiting thousands of farmers in Bihar. Key Budget Announcements for Bihar During her budget speech, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced several major projects for Bihar, where assembly elections are scheduled later this year. These include: Greenfield Airports in Bihar to improve air connectivity. Expansion of Patna Airport and development of a brownfield airport in Bihta to manage increasing air traffic. Financial support for the Western Kosi Canal ERM Project, which will benefit farmers cultivating over 50,000 hectares in the Mithilanchal region. These announcements have sparked criticism from opposition parties, who argue that the budget disproportionately favors Bihar due to its upcoming elections. Opposition Calls Budget Bihar-Centric, Ignores Other States The budget has drawn sharp reactions from opposition leaders, who accuse the Union Government of prioritizing Bihar over other states. Shiromani Akali Dal MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal criticized the budget for ignoring Punjab and neglecting the demands of protesting farmers seeking a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP). She called it an “anti-farmer budget”, highlighting the lack of new agricultural reforms apart from the Makhana Board. Congress MP Manish Tewari echoed these concerns, questioning whether the budget was meant for the entire country or solely for Bihar. He pointed out that throughout Sitharaman’s speech, other states were barely mentioned, raising concerns about regional bias in resource allocation. The Union Budget 2025 has ignited a political debate over its focus on Bihar. While Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi insists that it serves the entire nation and aligns with PM Modi’s ‘Viksit Bharat’ vision, opposition leaders argue that it disproportionately benefits Bihar ahead of state elections. As discussions continue, the government maintains that the budget aims to foster overall national development, with Bihar’s projects being part of a larger strategy for regional upliftment.     The post Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi Defends Budget, Calls It a Step Toward ‘Viksit Bharat’ appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

अमृतसर। बठिंडा लोकसभा सीट से अकाली दल की सांसद हरसिमरत कौर बादल ने कहा, आम आदमी पार्टी के संयोजक अरविंद केजरीवाल ने पंजाब के मुख्यमंत्री भगवंत मान का इस्तीफा मांगा है। कौर रवि��ार को एक कार्यक्रम में पहुंची थी। कार्यक्रम के बाद जब मीडिया ने उनसे पूछा कि मुख्यमंत्री भगवंत मान की तबीयत खराब है और वह सरकारी मोहल्ला क्लीनिक की बजाय मैक्स अस्पताल में इलाज करा रहे हैं। इस सवाल के जवाब में हरसिमरत कौर बादल ने कहा "मैं दिल्ली से आ रही हूं, मुझे भगवंत मान के रोग के बारे में भी पता चला है। कह�� जा रहा है कि अरविंद केजरीवाल ने भगवंत मान से इस्तीफा मांगा है। क्योंकि, ईमानदारी के ढोल पीटने वाली आम आदमी पार्टी के संयोजक दिल्ली की कथित शराब घोटाला में जेल में रहकर आए हैं। भगवंत मान द्वारा किए जा रहे भ्रष्टाचार की जानकारी अरविंद केजरीवाल को मिली है। इसके बाद केजरीवाल ने मान का इस्तीफा मांगा है। हम भगवान से प्रार्थना करेंगे कि वह जल्द ही स्वस्थ हो जाएं।

the Badals are an evil entity in Punjab, but Harsimrat Kaur kind of hit the nail on the head that the surrounding states literally claim Punjab’s water and rivers... but when the state is flooding suddenly they shut down the water flow to their states

Owing to the suspension of several opposition members, the three bills were passed by the Lok Sabha virtually unopposed. Dissenting voices were also conspicuously absent, apart from a handful of opposition members. Notably, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen MP Asaduddin Owaisi raised concerns over the prejudice in the implementation of criminal laws against religious minorities and other vulnerable communities like Dalits and Adivasis. He also voiced his apprehensions about a provision in the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita allowing police custody beyond 15 days, pointing to potential violation of civil liberties. Other aspects he touched upon included the non-inclusion of DK Basu guidelines, a prohibition on third parties from filing mercy petitions on behalf of death row prisoners, a bar on bail where an investigation, inquiry or trial in more than one offence or in multiple cases are pending against an accused, and the lack of provisions penalising sexual assault against men and stalking of men. Further, he stressed that the provisions penalising terrorism could lead to misuse and questioned the government's attempt to reintroducing the offence of sedition without using this nomenclature, despite its undertaking to the Supreme Court.

Shiromani Akali Dal leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal alleged during the debate that the bills conferred powers on the police without adequate checks and balance, which will lead to their arbitrary use. Such arbitrary powers are against liberty, democracy, dissent, and opposition. "Here is a living example," she said, pointing to the absence of opposition members from the forum. Similarly, MP Simranjit Singh Mann called for the bills to be debated when the opposition members are present, objecting to the 'undemocratic practice' of debating the bills in their absence.

This is insane btw and the fact that barely any major media is reporting on this is even more crazy. I had to search for articles detailing what happened and what changes will occur

The Lok Sabha has suspended 97 opposition MPs for protesting a security breach and now they've passed three bills in their absence that replace the existing criminal laws in the country - some of the oldest existing laws - how the fuck is this not a farce of democracy
