The SC refuses pre-telecast ban on Sudarshan TV show while the Delhi HC stays broadcast of TV’s ‘UPSC Jihad’ program

A controversy erupted on Thursday over a promotional clip released by a TV channel about an ‘expose’ done by them on what they described as an “increasing number of Muslims” getting into civil services.

On Friday, the Delhi High Court stayed the broadcast of the controversial program named ‘UPSC Jihad’ of Sudarshan TV on Muslim candidates in the civil services, which was scheduled to be telecast at 8 pm on Friday.

The High Court order came on a petition filed by the students of Jamia Millia Islamia University. Sudarshan News head Suresh Chavhanke had referred to the students of the university as “Jamia ke jihadi” in the video clip. The order was passed by a single-judge bench of Justice Navin Chawla.

Shadan Farasat, the lawyer representing Jamia students, told the court that Chavhanke had openly indulged in hate speech and defamed the students. “Chavhanke openly incited his target non-Muslim audience by fear-mongering that ‘jihadis’ or terrorists from Jamia Millia Islamia would soon hold positions of authority and power,” Farasat said.

While the top court refused to impose pre-broadcast ban on Sudarshan TV from airing ‘Bindas Bol’ programme.

The apex court has fixed next date of hearing on September 15, the high court will hear the matter on September 7.

A Supreme Court bench comprising Justices D Y Chandrachud and K M Joseph said it has to be circumspect in imposing a prior restraint on publication or the airing of views.

“At this stage, we have desisted from imposing a prebroadcast interlocutory injunction on the basis of an unverified transcript of a forty- nine second clip, said.

In the apex court, notice was issued to the Centre, Press Council of India, News Broadcasters Association and Sudarshan News.

The Indian Police Foundation and Indian Police Service Association condemned the statements by the anchor.

“The hate story carried on a Noida TV channel against minority candidates joining IAS /IPS is dangerous bigotry. We refrain from retweeting it because it is pure venom.  We hope News Broadcasting Standards Authority, UP Police and concerned government authorities take strict action,” the IPF tweeted.

In a post that is somehow still available on Twitter – a damning indictment of the social media platform’s hate speech moderation in India – Chavhanke said he is going to be talking about ‘naukarshahi jihad’, the ‘infiltration’ of India’s bureaucratic service by Muslims.

Sushant Singh Rajput death case, which is currently being investigated by the CBI and ED, attracts new mysteries every day.

In the latest, Sushant’s sister Shewta Singh Kirti shared some WhatsApp chats on Friday which hinted Rhea was providing drugs to the deceased actor. This comes a day after Rhea, in an interview on national television, claimed that she tried to stopped Sushant from taking drugs.

The chats shared by Sushant’s sister show a conversation between Siddharth Pithani, Rhea Chakraborty, Aayush, Ashok and house manager Samuel Miranda, and in the chats, the actress can be seen inquiring about the availability of drugs, stuff, and ‘doobies’.

“What was going on…#ArrestCulpritsOfSSR,” Sushant’s sister wrote while sharing the chats.

Now, in a socking incident, a Times Now report suggests that Rhea has reportedly admitted about the drug inquiry and that they were all typed by her.

Meanwhile, after the drug angle emerged in the case, Rhea said that she has never consumed drugs in life while mentioning Sushant used to smoke marijuana. She also advocated to conduct a blood test to prove her stance.

“I have never taken drugs in my life and I don’t know any drug dealer. It is unfortunate we have to speak about it but the Pandora’s Box was opened by his family. I wanted his memory to be pristine and beautiful as he was a beautiful boy.”

“He used to smoke marijuana. That was the only aspect of his life that I was trying to control,” she had said.

Rhea, along with her brother Showik, was quizzed by the CBI on Friday. The Jalebi actor has been accused of abeting actor’s suicide and money laundering. An FIR has been filed in the same light against her by Sushant’s father K. K. Singh.

On Friday, a contempt proceeding against Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was announced by U.S House Foreign Affairs Committee, quoting his political misuse of department resources.

Eliot Engle, the Democratic Chairman of the House of Representatives committee, has specified Pompeo speech recorded in Jerusalem for this week’s Republican National Convention. Engel stated “ Pompeo demonstrated alarming disregard for the laws and rules governing his own conduct and for the tools the Constitution provides to prevent government corruption.”

“He seems to think the office he holds, the department he runs, the personnel he oversees, and the taxpayer dollars that pay for all of it are there for his personal and political benefit,” Engel said in a statement.

Last month a subpoena to Pompeo was issued by the committee demanding documents he provided to Republicans investigating Democratic presidential candidate Joe Bidan. A Republican-led US Senate committee has been gathering information related to Hunter Biden, son of the former US vice president, Republican President Donald Trump’s opponent in the November election.

Hunter Biden is a former board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. The company was thrust into the global spotlight last year in the impeachment inquiry into whether Trump improperly pressured the government in Kiev into opening a case involving his election rival. “I gave Mr. Pompeo ample opportunity to fulfill my request for documents, which I first made more than three months ago. These documents were already produced to the Senate, and his refusal to provide them to the Foreign Affairs Committee required that I issue a subpoena on July 31,” Engel said in a statement

The development comes after the two countries agreed to a peace pact deal brokered by US administration to normalize relations.

The confirmation has put a rest to Israel plans to annex land sought by the Palestinians. It has also indicated the beginning of a long-standing relationship between the two countries amid their mutual tension with Iran.

The US President Donald Trump on Thursday officially accepted the GOP nomination of Republican Party for the second time to appear as a presidential candidate in the November Elections. While accepting his nominations, Trump hit his Democratic opponent Joe Biden as a “weak” candidate, adding Americans have a clear choice.

“At no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties, two visions, two philosophies or two agendas,” the president said.

Trump gave his acceptance speech from the South Lawns of the White House on Thursday night. “My fellow Americans, tonight, with a heart full of gratitude and boundless optimism, I proudly accept this nomination for President of the United States,” he said.

“I stand before you tonight honoured by your support. Proud of the extraordinary progress we have made together over the last four incredible years, and brimming confidence in the bright future, we will build for America over the next four years,” Trump said.

“In a new term as President, we will again build the greatest economy in history – quickly returning to full employment, soaring incomes, and record prosperity!” he said.

Trump’s acceptance speech ended four days of starry convention of the Republican Party. First Lady Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr were among others to address the convention.

The convention is an age old tradition of the Republican Party which gathers once in every four years in one of the American cities to nominate its candidate for the presidential bid.
