Communications Minister Jyotiraditya M Scindia on Thursday in Parliament made it clear that satellite spectrum would be allocated administratively rather than through auction, aligning with global practices. "We cannot auction an asset which is not fully in our control. This applies not only to India but all countries on earth," Jyotiraditya Scindia said, explaining the technical differences between mobile and satellite communications. During the Question Hour in the Rajya Sabha, the minister elucidated that mobile technology operates on low-frequency waves that dissipate in the atmosphere, necessitating spectrum auctions to prevent signal interference. In contrast, satellite communications use higher frequencies transmitted directly like a laser through fixed antennas. "Today, there is no country that auctions satellite spectrum across the world. The USA's Orbit Act prohibits the auction of satellite spectrum. In Europe, France, Germany - all countries assign sat...

Congress MLA Izharul Hussain on Wednesday claimed that he would end his life if the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2024 is passed, which is currently being debated in the Parliament. "The Central government wants to take over the property of minorities. Waqf property belongs to Allah and benefits the poor. If this bill is passed, I will end my life," Izharul Hussain said while interacting with the media persons in Kishanganj. Izharul Hussain has warned of major protests if the Bill is passed in the Parliament. "If necessary, I will go from Kishanganj to Parliament to stop this Bill. This is not just a minority issue - temples, gurudwaras, and churches may also be targeted next by passing similar bills in the future to snatch their lands," he said. The MLA accused the Union government of using divisive politics before elections. "They have no development agenda. They bring such bills to distract people. Earlier, they brought anti-farmer laws, and we opposed them too...

Observing even a criminal enjoyed certain protections, the Supreme Court has directed the director generals of police (DGP) of all the states and UTs to strictly adhere to all safeguards available to persons in custody. A bench comprising Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Prashant Kumar Mishra called the police a very vital part of the state machinery, having a direct bearing on the safety and security of the society at large and individuals in particular. "The need, therefore, for maintaining the confidence of individuals and society-at-large in the police is paramount," it added. The court referred to a checklist shown by the counsel for Haryana under Section 41(1)(b) (ii) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. "Perusal of the same prima facie does not inspire confidence. Rather, it appears that only as a formality, the same has been submitted. We express our strong reservations with regard to filling-up of the checklist in a mechanical manner," the bench...

Assam's Sribhumi witnessed tension today following an attempted assault on a woman reminiscent of the Nirbhaya case that had shocked the country 13 years ago. Early in the morning, members of right-wing organisations gathered to protest against the incident, leading to shutdown of bus services in the area.  A statement from a right-wing organisation said the incident bears chilling similarities to the Delhi Nirbhaya case. The young woman was allegedly assaulted inside a moving bus by a group of men. The incident occurred on Monday evening when the young woman, after completing her work at Badarpur Circle Office, boarded a bus for Sribhumi. Once two passengers got off at Bhanga, the remaining men locked the vehicle's doors and attempted to assault the woman. Sensing danger, she sent her live location to her family via WhatsApp. Realizing what happened, the assailants threw her out of the vehicle and fled. She sustained injuries during the fall and has been admitted to Karimg...

The conflict between the BJP and Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party is intensifying over the frequent power cuts in Delhi and the two parties faced off over the matter in the assembly today.  The summer has come early this year and by March-end, fans and air-conditioners have started running.  Now AAP has alleged that reports of power cuts from across the capital have been growing, which the BJP has dismissed as fake information.  Today, AAP had given notice to discuss the power cuts in the assembly. But when Speaker Vijender Gupta did not give the opportunity, AAP MLAs walked out and raised slogans outside the House with posters. Power minister Ashish Sood said action will be taken against those who spread "fake information". "There is no power crisis in Delhi and action will be taken against those who spread misleading news on power cuts," Mr Sood said. AAP leaders have accused the BJP of failing to manage electricity distribution after assuming power in F...
