Siddhu is a one man demolition squad. He is single handedly destroying Karnataka with amazing efficiency and speed. The whole of Karnataka is now a garbage state. Seculars were celebrating when he announced Shaadi Bhagya and other stupid Bhagya scemes for Muslim women to get married. Now that is all this state can afford. Paying to marry off Muslims. We dont need to repair roads, purchase or invest in electricity generation, provide jobs. Nothing. Seculars ki Jai ho!!!

Noted lawyer Indira Jaising’s firm Lawyers Collective, where her husband Anand Grover also has a stake, has been served notice by the Ministry of Home Affairs for allegedly violating foreign funds norms by receiving foreign contribution when she held the office of Additional Solicitor-General (ASG) during the UPA regime. Ms. Jaising could not be reached for comments immediately.
Ms. Jaising is currently representing Gujarat-based social activist Teesta Setalvad in a foreign fund violation case against the latter’s Sabrang Trust and Citizens for Justice and Peace.
Mr. Grover petitioned the Supreme Court in the dead of night to hear the plea of death row convict Yakub Memon, just hours before he was to hang in a Nagpur prison in July 2015.
The MHA said they had sent a notice to the Lawyers Collective and have asked them to furnish details about all the foreign contributions they received from organisations like the Ford Foundation and the Open Society Foundation. The notice was served on November 5, 2015.
The MHA acted after receiving a complaint from Raj Kumar Sharma, a Jaipur resident.
The notice served by the MHA says, “Whereas a preliminary assessment of records revealed that Lawyer’s Collective, when its Secretary Ms Indira Jaising (Chief Functionary) was a ‘public servant’ employed as Additional Solicitor General (ASG) by the Govt of India, during the financial years 2009-10 to 2011-12, received foreign contribution of Rs.11,67,37,584. As per Section 3(1)(c) of FCRA 2010, a Government servant or employee of any corporation or any other body controlled or owned by the Government is prohibited from receiving foreign contribution, thereby violating Section 3(1)(c) of FCRA.”

St. Stephen’s bends its constitution for the Church | education$higher-studies | Hindustan Times
A draft amendment circulated by principal Valson Thampu proposes to hand over student admissions and faculty appointments to the college’s supreme council, leaving the governing body toothless. It also empowers the principal to take disciplinary action against students or staff, independent of the governing body, which till now had a say in the matter.
The current supreme council is made up of five Church of North India (CNI) members and the principal. It was earlier responsible only for appointing the principal and safeguarding the college’s minority status.
...
Teachers fear that the amendment, if passed, would destroy the “secular and intellectual” fabric of the Delhi University college. “This is being done to establish oligarchy of Christians who will run the institution as they like. The new constitution removes the system of checks and balances. The secular and intellectual interest of the institution is being compromised by vested interests who have already brought bad name to the college,” said a senior teacher, who has been a governing body member.
“All of a sudden, the principal will also have the power to decide on staff increments,” said Nandita Narain, a teacher.
“Now what is the legitimacy of the changes that are being brought? Moreover, the college is a government-funded institution and CNI does not even give 5% that they are supposed to give, so why is so much power being vested in them,” she asked.
Govt funded college totally run by the church...with clergy deciding everything. RTE screwing schools. Heard they are working on a new education policy, need it fast.

Either way, the foriegn funding that Greenpeace India was surviving off has been cut, now they (Greenpeace India) are going back and forth between the courts and their disruptive agenda is all but over in India. Hopefully they are bled dry by these court proceedings and have a long slow death.Greenpeace India's Shutdown Put on Hold by Madras High Court
every time... Madra HC throws a spanner in the works!Any decision by the central govt should be beyond the jurisdiction of state courts.. & only SC should have a say! What say? @ranjeet @magudi @Star Wars @Nair saab @SarthakGanguly

Oh well..same difference. This is not the first time Madras HC tried to bail out Greenpeace from a govt directive. If I can remember, last time around they put a stay on central govt's decision to freeze all Greenpeace accounts. Greenpeace was allowed to operate some bank accounts. I think this is judicial activism while Govt of India is trying to clean the mess created by these foreign funded NGOs.
