Don't Know Why Delhi Riots Order Upset The Government, It Was The Right Thing To Do : Justice Muralidhar https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/dont-know-why-delhi-riots-order-upset-the-government-it-was-the-right-thing-to-do-justice-muralidhar-239588 LIVELAW NEWS NETWORK 8 Oct 2023
In the midst of the communal riots that gripped Delhi in February 2020, Justice Muralidhar had convened a midnight hearing at his residence to pass urgent orders to evacuate a group of patients who were stranded at a hospital in a riot-hit region. The order was necessary as the patients, who required emergency medical treatment at a bigger specialist hospital, could not be moved due to the riot situation. Later in the same day(February 26, 2020), Justice Muralidhar passed another order asking the Delhi Police to decide within 24 hours on registering FIR against certain BJP leaders for allegedly making provocative remarks. In a dramatic hearing, Justice Muralidhar expressed surprise when the Delhi Police claimed ignorance about the speeches, some of which had gone viral in the social media. Justice Muralidhar directed the clips of the speech to be played in the Court for the police officer who was present there and passed a stern order to take a decision on registering the FIR, despite the strong opposition by the Delhi police. On the same night, the Union Government notified his transfer to the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Just as we need to get the money out of politics, we have been gifted a Prime Minister who represents the ultra-rich.
While Rishi Sunak was chancellor, the government repeatedly delayed its manifesto promise to ban no-fault evictions. Landlords are ruthlessly exploiting this power to throw their tenants on to the street or use the threat to force them to accept outrageous rent rises and dismal conditions. Had Sunak’s “help to buy” mortgage scheme succeeded (it was a dismal flop), it would have raised house prices, increasing rents and making ownership less accessible: the opposite of its stated aim. But this, as with all such schemes, was surely its true purpose: to inflate the assets of existing owners, the Conservative party’s base.
Public services are collapsing at breathtaking speed. Headteachers warn that 90% of schools in England could run out of money next year. NHS dentistry is on the verge of extinction. Untold numbers are now living in constant pain and, in some cases, extracting their own teeth. The suspicion that the NHS is being deliberately dismembered, its core services allowed to fail so that we cease to defend it against privatisation, rises ever higher in the mind.

In episode 1317 of #CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains what the BJP’s lists say about its plans for the crucial Hindi-heartland state and the challenges it faces, the fallout of the 2020 Jyotiraditya Scindia rebellion against the Congress, and the calculation behind sending national leaders back to state polls.
