HC Objects to ACB JD Srinivas Reddy Transfer

The Andhra Pradesh High Court today objected today the transfer of Anti-corruption Bureau (ACB) Joint Director K Srinivas Reddy, who was heading a special investigation team into liquor syndicates in the state. The high court today said that he should npot have been transferred with the court's permission as he was heading a Special Investigation Team. The court said that the government must review the transfer of K Srinivas Reddy.

The High Court also questioned how the white ration card holders obtained liquor shop licences woth lakhs and crores of rupees unnoticed by the Income Tax department. The court directed the ACB to take IT department's help in this issue, if necessary. The court also appreciated ACB for its straight forwardedness in probing and exposing the liquor syndicates in the state.

The High Court today asked the state government to revert on the transfer by April 27. Meanwhile, the Anti-Corruption Bureau today submitted its report on the liquor syndicates case in a sealed cover to the court. The court then said that the Anti-Corruption Bureau can approach the court for any directions and that the government must support an independent probe by honest, upright officers in public interest. "Investigation should not be hampered because politicians, ministers, MLAs, relatives are involved," the court observed. Earlier, notices in the case had been issued to the chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy, fellow Congressman Botsa Satyanarayana, excise minister Mopidevi Venkatramana and the leader of the opposition Telugu Desam Party, Chandrababu Naidu.

 

 

 

Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.
