महाराजा सुहेलदेव पर एक डाक टिकिट जारी करते हुए एक समारोह में श्री मोदी ने कहा कि इस बार करीब 65 लाख मीट्रिक टन की खरीद यूपी में हो चुकी है, जोबीते साल की तुलना में लगभग दोगुनी है। यही नहीं, योगी जी की सरकार गन्ना किसानों तक भी बीते सालों में 1 लाख करोड़ रुपए से अधिक पहुंचा चुकी है। कोरोना काल में भी गन्ना किसानों को दिक्कत ना आए, इसके लिए हर संभव मदद दी गई है। चीनी मिलें, किसानों को भुगतान कर पाएं इसके लिए केंद्र ने भी हजारों करोड़ रुपए राज्य सरकारों को दिए हैं। गन्ना किसानों का भुगतान समय पर होता रहे, इसके लिए योगी जी की सरकार के प्रयास जारी हैं।

उन्होने कहा कि सरकार की ये हर संभव कोशिश है कि गांव और किसान का जीवन बेहतर हो। किसान को, गांव में रहने वाले गरीब को परेशानी ना हो, उसको अपने मकान पर अवैध कब्ज़े की आशंका से मुक्ति मिले, इसके लिए स्वामित्व योजना भी आज पूरे उत्‍तर प्रदेश में चलाई जा रही है। इस योजना के तहत आजकल यूपी के करीब 50 जिलों में ड्रोन के माध्यम से सर्वे चल रहे हैं। लगभग 12 हज़ार गांवों में ड्रोन सर्वे का काम पूरा हो चुका है और अभी तक 2 लाख से ज्यादा परिवारों को प्रॉपर्टी कार्ड यानि घरौनी मिल चुका है। यानि ये परिवार अब हर प्रकार की आशंका से मुक्त हो चुके हैं।

प्रधानमंत्री ने कहा कि आज गांव का गरीब, किसान देख रहा है कि उसके छोटे से घर को बचाने के लिए, उसकी जमीन को बचाने के लिए पहली बार कोई सरकार इतनी बड़ी योजना चला रही है। इतना बड़ा रक्षा कवच, हर गरीब को, हर किसान को, हर ग्रामवासी को दे रहा है। इसलिए जब कोई कृषि सुधारों के माध्यम से किसानों की ज़मीन छीने जाने का झूठ फैलाता है, तो उस पर कोई कैसे विश्वास कर सकता है? हमारा लक्ष्य देश के हर नागरिक को समर्थ बनाने का है।

Hundreds of farmers affiliated to the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) and other groups had gathered at UP border on Tuesday evening. Heavy security was deployed to prevent them from proceeding towards Delhi to join farmers of Punjab and Haryana in their protest.

Farmers are protesting against the three agricultural laws passed by Parliament in September. The three laws, that according to the farmers would make them vulnerable to exploitation by big corporations, are – The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020.

However, the government has stuck to its stance that the laws are beneficial for the farmers. On his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “New dimensions are being added to agriculture and its related activities in India. The agriculture reforms in the past few days have also now opened new doors of possibilities for our farmers.”

A vacation bench of the top court was hearing a petition by the Yogi Adityanath government, challenging an order earlier this week by the Allahabad High Court asking the government for the immediate removal of the ‘name and shame’ posters and hoardings put up across Lucknow. The case has been referred to a three-judge bench, with the Supreme Court not putting a stay on the high court’s order.

Defending its action, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing Uttar Pradesh, argued that the hoardings were put up after following process of law, and that it was put up as a deterrent. It directed the top court registry to put up the case file before Chief Justice of India (CJI) SA Bobde so that a “bench of sufficient strength can be constituted at the earliest to hear and consider” the case next week.

The Uttar Pradesh government’s lawyers said the hoardings won’t be removed for now as the case has been referred to a larger bench.

Sources said the hoardings – in which the persons named were asked to pay for damage to public property and warned that their property would be attached otherwise – were put up on instructions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The wrong-doer must be brought to book. But can the state go beyond that?” Justice UU Lalit observed, asking if the state government has the power to put up such hoardings.

On Monday, the Allahabad High Court cited the Right to Privacy as a fundamental human right recognised by the United Nations as well as the Supreme Court, and said the government’s move to display photographs and personal details of the accused on roadside hoardings was “an unwarranted interference in privacy”.

The court had also asked the Lucknow administration to give a compliance report on the removal of the hoardings to the registrar general by March 16.

Advocate Sadhna Ramachandran, who was appointed an interlocutor along with senior advocate Sanjay Hegde, placed the report before a bench of justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph.

The bench said it would peruse the report and the matter would be heard on February 26.

It made it clear that the report of interlocutors will not be shared with the petitioners and counsels representing the Centre and Delhi Police at this stage.

At the outset, Ramachandran told the court that she is grateful for the opportunity given to her and the interlocutors had a learning experience which was positive also.

“Let us examine it. We will hear the matter day after tomorrow,” the bench said.

When the counsel for one of the petitioners said the report be shared with them also, the bench said, “We are here. Everyone is here. Let us have the benefit of the report first. The copy of the report is for the court only.”

Former Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah had earlier told the top court that the protest was peaceful and inconvenience being caused to commuters was due to barricades “unnecessarily” put by police on roads far away from the site.

The same stand has been taken by social activist Syed Bahadur Abbas Naqvi and Bhim Army chief Chandra Shekhar Azad in their joint affidavit filed in the apex court in the matter. Habibullah, Azad and Naqvi have jointly filed an intervention application in the apex court which is seized of the matter.

The apex court had earlier said that though people have a fundamental right to protest “peacefully and lawfully”, it was troubled by the blocking of a public road at Shaheen Bagh as it might lead to a “chaotic situation”.

Naqvi and Azad, in their joint affidavit, have alleged that “the present ruling dispensation, at the behest of its political masters, had devised a strategy of extinguishing these protests by falsely attributing violence and acts of vandalism to peaceful protestors”.

Habibullah, in his affidavit, has also stated that the protestors have asked him to convey to the apex court that their dissent “was out of desperation and compulsion” as they see the CAA, National Population Register (NPR) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) as a “death knell” for their and future generations’ survival and existence.

Restrictions have been imposed on the Kalindi Kunj-Shaheen Bagh stretch and the Okhla underpass, which were closed on December 15 last year due to protests against CAA and NRC.

In another video posted on Twitter, the outfit’s leader Bhupendra Tomar alias Pinky Chaudhary said Hindu Raksha Dal workers barged into the JNU campus on Sunday night as “anti-national and anti-Hindu activities” were being carried out there.

JNU is a hub of communists and we won’t tolerate such hubs. They abuse our religion and our country. Their attitude towards our religion is anti-national. In future, too, we will take the same action in other universities if someone tries to indulge in anti-national activities,” Tomar said in the 1 minute and 59 second video.

Meanwhile,government sources said that claims made by Tomar are being investigated. “Delhi Police has taken cognizance. To identity masked men in JNU, Police is taking help of video footage as well as face recognition systems,” the sources said.

Violence broke out at JNU on Sunday as a masked mob armed with sticks and rods attacked students and teachers and damaged property on the campus.

Over 20 people, including JNU Students’ Union president Aishe Ghosh, were injured and admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) as chaos reigned on the campus for two hours.

The violence drew strong reactions from opposition parties which hit out at the BJP and accused “those in power” of trying to scuttle the voice of students.

The Delhi Police are also using face-recognition software to identity the masked people who came armed with sticks and sharp weapons, people with direct knowledge of the matter said. The police are scanning multiple video clips to unmask the attackers, who charged at students and professors after sundown on the campus.
