In the midst of the controversy surrounding a scene in Oppenheimer, where the titular character is depicted engaging in sexual activity while reciting verses from an ancient Sanskrit scripture, purportedly the Bhagavad Gita, Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has stepped forward to praise Christopher Nolan’s biographical thriller film.

Taking to social media on Monday, Kangana lauded the movie as “Christopher Nolan’s best work so far” and expressed her admiration for the part in the film referencing Bhagavad Gita and Lord Vishnu. “Most important film of our time… I am so excited I just didn’t want it to end… It has everything I deeply love, I am passionate about physics and politics… For me, this was like a cinematic orgasm… beyond wonderful,” she noted while sharing a selfie video.

“The theme of the film is that when your nationalism rises, it precedes your religion; but when your humanity rises, it precedes your nationalism and you become a problem for the system. And the system that built you, starts disintegrating you. My favourite part is the reference to Srimad Bhagavad Gita and Lord Vishnu when he channelises his inner Vishnu. Go watch it… it’s a lovely film,” the Queen actor said in the video.

J Robert Oppenheimer, regarded as ‘the father of the atom bomb’, had learnt Sanskrit and was said to be influenced by the Bhagavad Gita. In the film, Oppenheimer, played by Cillian Murphy, is shown having sex with psychologist Jean Tatler (Florence Pugh) as she asks him to read a verse from what appears to be a Sanskrit book, whose title or cover is not visible.

The scene involving Gita in Oppenheimer had irked a section of social media users, who demanded the removal of the sequence from Christopher Nolan’s latest film.

Uday Mahurkar, information commissioner, Government of India, wrote an open letter to Nolan, terming the scene a “disturbing attack on Hinduism” and appealed to the director to remove the scene worldwide.

“We urge, on behalf of billion Hindus and the timeless tradition of lives being transformed by revered Geeta, to do all that is needed to uphold the dignity of their revered book and remove this scene from your film across the world. Should you choose to ignore this appeal it would be deemed as a deliberate assault on Indian civilisation. Eagerly await needful action (sic)” Mahurkar, founder of Save Culture Save India Foundation, wrote.

Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur has sought an explanation from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on why it cleared the movie in its present form. According to sources, Thakur has demanded accountability from the CBFC, which functions under the aegis of the I&B Ministry, regarding clearing the movie with the controversial scene, which has hurt the sentiments of a section of the Hindu community.

The Dhaakad actor’s comments come a day after she locked horns with former Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy after the latter questioned her Y-plus security status. He tweeted, “The SPG knows, and has kept a register of her movements. I wonder why since it is no business of SPG to track Bollywood stars. In her case, on a special dispensation, she has a high level of security provided.”

Kangana replied, “I am not just a Bollywood star sir, I am also a very vocal and concerned citizen, I was the target of political malice in Maharashtra, at my expense nationalists could make a government here. I also spoke about tukde gang and strongly condemned Khalistani groups. I am also a filmmaker, writer and producer and my next production Emergency involves operation Bluestar… there is evident treat to my life hence I requested for extended security… Is there something wrong in this Sir?”'

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 27thNovember. In a development that has reignited a long-standing controversy, the Allahabad High Court on November 25 directed the Union Home Ministry (MHA) to take decisive action on a plea seeking the cancellation of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharatiya citizenship over allegations of dual British citizenship. The court has instructed the MHA to address the matter and provide its response by December 19, the next hearing date. The public interest litigation (PIL) was filed by S. Vignesh Shishir, a Karnataka-based BJP worker, who also requested a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the allegations. The Lucknow bench of Justices A.R. Masoodi and Subhash Vidyarthi underscored the urgency of the issue, asking the additional solicitor general to clarify the ministry’s stance and report on actions taken thus far. The Allegations: A Recurring Point of Debate The claims of dual citizenship against Rahul Gandhi are not new. These allegations primarily stem from documents purportedly showing that Gandhi had declared himself a British citizen in filings associated with a company in the UK. Such accusations have been a political weapon used by his opponents, particularly within the BJP, to question his eligibility to serve as a Member of Parliament and as a leader of the opposition. The petitioner in the current case, Shishir, had previously filed and withdrawn a similar petition in July, opting to pursue remedies under the Citizenship Act. He later submitted two fresh representations to the MHA, which were acknowledged but remain under review. This case ties into a related petition filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy in the Delhi High Court, where he has sought a CBI investigation and a status report from the MHA on Gandhi’s citizenship status. Swamy has been one of the most vocal proponents of these allegations, adding to the political dimensions of the case. Legal Context and the Court’s Focus The Allahabad High Court made it clear that the current proceedings focus on ensuring due process regarding the petitioner’s representations. While the court refrained from commenting on the merit of the allegations, it stressed the need for clarity on the actions taken by the MHA. Deputy Solicitor General of India informed the court that the MHA had received the representations and that the matter was under consideration. However, the court emphasized the importance of resolving the issue promptly, given the public interest involved. Implications of the Case Political Fallout The case is likely to fuel political tensions, particularly as the country gears up for critical state elections and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The BJP may use the controversy to question Rahul Gandhi’s credentials and leadership within the Congress. Legal Precedent If the court finds merit in the petition, it could set a significant precedent regarding the eligibility of public officials with alleged foreign citizenships. It would also provide clarity on the application of the Citizenship Act in cases of dual citizenship claims. Reputational Impact For Rahul Gandhi, the case poses a reputational challenge. While he has consistently denied the allegations, prolonged legal scrutiny could overshadow his political activities and deflect attention from Congress’s election campaigns. Due Process or Political Vendetta? The renewed focus on Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship raises questions about the interplay between legal due process and political motivations. On one hand, the allegations, if substantiated, would constitute a serious breach of Bharatiya laws, warranting thorough investigation. On the other hand, the timing and persistence of these claims suggest they could be part of a broader strategy to undermine Gandhi’s political standing. The judiciary’s role in such cases is crucial. By ensuring that the matter is handled transparently and expeditiously, the court can prevent the misuse of legal processes for political gains.

It is equally important for the MHA to provide a clear and evidence-based response to avoid prolonged uncertainty. Conclusion: A Case with Far-Reaching Consequences As the December 19 deadline approaches, all eyes will be on the MHA’s response to the court’s directive. The outcome of this case has the potential to shape the political narrative in the months leading up to the general elections. For Rahul Gandhi, the case represents yet another challenge in his tumultuous political career. Whether it becomes a turning point or just another footnote will depend on the legal proceedings ahead. For the BJP, it is an opportunity to keep the Congress leader on the defensive. Ultimately, this case underscores the need for a balanced approach that upholds the rule of law while safeguarding democratic integrity.   The post Rahul Gandhi’s Citizenship Under Scrutiny: Allahabad High Court Seeks MHA Response appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 26thNovember. On November 25, 2024, the Supreme Court of India delivered a pivotal judgment, dismissing petitions challenging the inclusion of the words “socialist” and “secular” in the Preamble to the Constitution, introduced via the 42nd Amendment in 1976. The bench, led by Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar, unequivocally held that there was no valid justification for reopening this constitutional amendment after nearly five decades. This judgment underscores the enduring relevance of socialism and secularism in Bharat’s constitutional ethos and provides a broader commentary on the nature of constitutional amendments, judicial review, and the balance between evolving societal values and historical precedents. Background of the 42nd Amendment The 42nd Amendment, often referred to as the “mini-Constitution”, was enacted during the Emergency period under then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s government. It introduced significant changes, including the insertion of the words socialist and secular in the Preamble. While this amendment has been controversial, it remains a cornerstone of Bharat’s constitutional history, reflecting the socio-political milieu of the time. Supreme Court’s Observations: Key Highlights Lack of Justification for the Challenge The Court emphasized that challenging the amendment nearly 44 years after its enactment lacked merit. The bench observed that the words socialist and secular have been ingrained in Bharat’s constitutional framework and widely accepted by the populace. Amendability of the Preamble The judgment reiterated that the Preamble is an integral part of the Constitution and subject to amendment under Article 368. This settled the argument that the Preamble, being adopted in 1949, could not be retrospectively amended. Concept of Socialism and Secularism in Bharat Socialism: The Court clarified that in the Bharatiya context, socialism signifies a welfare state ensuring economic and social justice. Unlike the rigid interpretations of socialism seen in some other countries, Bharat’s approach accommodates private entrepreneurship while striving for equitable development. Secularism: Rooted in the right to equality, secularism in Bharat ensures equal treatment of all religions. This principle has been repeatedly upheld as a basic feature of the Constitution, including in landmark cases like Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala and S.R. Bommai v. Union of India. Historical and Legal Validation The Court highlighted that the inclusion of socialism and secularism has been reviewed by multiple constitutional benches and has withstood judicial scrutiny. Furthermore, the post-Emergency Janata Party government, despite undoing many provisions of the 42nd Amendment through the 44th Amendment, retained these terms in the Preamble, underscoring their importance. Petitioners’ Contentions and Judicial Response The petitions were spearheaded by prominent figures, including Dr. Subramanian Swamy and Advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay. Key arguments included: The amendment was made during the Emergency without public consultation. The terms socialist and secular impose ideological frameworks contrary to the original Preamble. Amending the Preamble exceeds the constituent powers of Parliament. In response, the bench refuted these claims: It reiterated that the Parliament’s power to amend extends to the Preamble. The addition of these terms aligns with Bharat’s constitutional values and does not contravene fundamental rights or the Constitution’s basic structure. Significance of the Judgment This judgment carries profound implications: Reaffirmation of Constitutional Ideals The ruling reaffirms that socialism and secularism are intrinsic to Bharat’s democratic framework, reflecting the nation’s commitment to inclusivity and equality. Judicial Deference to Legislative Authority By upholding the Parliament’s power to amend the Preamble, the

Court balanced judicial review with respect for legislative decisions, provided they align with the Constitution’s basic structure. Stability of Constitutional Amendments The decision discourages frivolous challenges to long-standing constitutional provisions, emphasizing the need for stability in constitutional law. Opinion: The Enduring Relevance of Socialism and Secularism The inclusion of socialism and secularism in the Preamble has been a subject of debate since its inception. Critics argue that these terms were politically motivated additions during an autocratic period, while proponents view them as reaffirmations of Bharat’s foundational principles. In practice, socialism in Bharat has evolved to embrace a mixed economy, blending state welfare with private enterprise. Similarly, secularism ensures that the state remains neutral in matters of religion, fostering harmony in a diverse society. These ideals, far from being relics of the past, continue to guide Bharat’s socio-political trajectory. Conclusion The Supreme Court’s dismissal of the petitions challenging the 42nd Amendment is a landmark affirmation of the values enshrined in the Preamble. By rejecting the challenge, the Court has not only upheld the legitimacy of socialism and secularism but also reinforced the resilience of Bharat’s constitutional framework. As Bharat navigates the complexities of a rapidly changing world, these principles remain vital in ensuring justice, equality, and harmony. The judgment serves as a reminder that constitutional amendments are not just reflections of their time but enduring commitments to the aspirations of “We, the people of India.”   The post Supreme Court Upholds Inclusion of ‘Socialist’ and ‘Secular’ in Constitution’s Preamble appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.
