Jairam Ramesh on Sunday lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party over Waqf (Amendment) Bill, saying that it is the party's continuous attempt to damage bonds of social harmony. He added that it is BJP's strategy to «demonise» minority communities by «spreading false propaganda.» «The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024 is part of BJP's strategy and continuing attempts to damage the centuries-old bonds of social harmony in our uniquely multi-religious society. Demonise minority communities by spreading false propaganda and creating prejudices, dilute Constitutional provisions that guarantee equal rights and protections to all citizens, regardless of religion,» Jairam Ramesh said in a statement. He added that's it is also BJP's strategy to «defame traditions and institutions of minority communities to keep our society in a state of permanent polarisation for electoral gains.» Ramesh further highlighted the «flaws» of Waqf (Amendement) Bill, noting that it «deliberately deprive» the community of the right to administer its own religious traditions and affairs.

Los Angeles Lakers down the stretch toward the postseason. And then almost nothing else went right for the Lakers during a 146-115 thrashing from the Chicago Bulls. «We've got to play better basketball than we did tonight, and what we did on our last road trip,» James said before the Lakers headed out on a four-game trip beginning in Orlando on Monday. James scored 17 points after missing the Lakers' previous seven games with a strained left groin, but the top scorer in NBA history looked rusty in certain moments — particularly late in the first quarter, when he threw a long sideline inbounds pass that curled out of bounds without ever getting close to one of his teammates. But James' return was just one part of a comprehensively poor effort by the Lakers, who took their second straight loss and hit the latest trough in their peaks-and-valleys season since acquiring Luka Doncic.

Chennai Super Kings will lean on their formidable spin strength under favourable conditions at the Chepauk as well as recent record against Mumbai Indians when the two sides face each other in their Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign opener here on Sunday. Five-time winners CSK augmented their spin attack in the IPL mega auction last year by including Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad Shreyas Gopal and Deepak Hooda, with India veteran Ravindra Jadeja also in the mix. CSK's pre-season moves indicate how the spin-friendly conditions at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here could be a major factor in their game plan. Starting their season against an equally formidable opponent in Mumbai Indians, this strategy could well deliver the goods right from the beginning. For CSK, MS Dhoni will be the cynosure of all eyes once again, having remained with the team since the inception of the IPL in 2008. On the other hand, the absence of India bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah could be acutely felt in the MI ranks as the right-arm pacer remains on a comeback trail from a back-related issue which has kept him sidelined so far this year. Bumrah is expected to miss the initial stages of this IPL and his absence will leave MI without their lethal weapon in the death overs, presenting the management with a headache to work with other options and strategies.

Also, surrendered Naxalites will receive rehabilitation and legal support to start a new life, the official said on Saturday. The primary objective of the new policy is to support those affected by Naxal violence and reintegrate surrendered Naxalites into the society. The government believes a balance between strict action and rehabilitation is essential to eliminate Naxalism, the official added.

Similarly, compensation given in the case of permanent disability to such a person has been hiked to Rs 5 lakh from Rs 3 lakh, the official said, citing the draft of the new policy.

In a memorandum to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi late on Friday, Trump said lawyers were helping to fuel «rampant fraud and meritless claims» in the immigration system, and directed the Justice Department to seek sanctions against attorneys for professional misconduct. The order also took aim at law firms that sue the administration in what Trump, a Republican, called «baseless partisan» lawsuits. He asked Bondi to refer such firms to the White House to be stripped of security clearances, and for federal contracts they worked on to be terminated. Ben Wizner, a senior lawyer at the American Civil Liberties Union, said the new directive sought to «chill and intimidate» lawyers who challenge the president's agenda. Trump has separately mounted attacks on law firms over their internal diversity policies and their ties to his political adversaries. «Courts have been the only institution so far that have stood up to Trump's onslaught,» Wizner said. «Courts can't play that role without lawyers bringing cases in front of them.» The ACLU is involved in litigation against the administration over immigrant deportations, including the expulsion of alleged Venezuelan gang members.

However, Trump indicated that those who choose to leave voluntarily may have a chance to re-enter the country legally in the future. «People in our country illegally can self-deport the easy way, or they can get deported the hard way, and that's not pleasant.

Now my administration is launching the CBP Home app to give people in our country illegally an easy way to leave now and self-deport voluntarily,» he said. He further added, «If they do, they could potentially have the opportunity to return legally at some point in the future. But if they do not avail themselves of this opportunity, then they will be found, they will be deported, and they will never be admitted again to the United States ever, ever again. You're never coming in.» Trump also mentioned that voluntary deportation through the app could help save government resources. He stated that the CBP Home app is now available for free on all mobile app stores.
