Editorial With Sujit Nair | Why No Padma Award For Bal Thackeray? | Shibu Soren | VS Achuthanandan

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 06:59:00 -0000

In this episode of 'Editorial', HW News’ Managing Editor Mr. Sujit Nair discusses the possible reasons as to why the Shiv Sena leader Balasaheb Thackeray was not conferred a Padma award while other leaders such as Shibu Soren from Jharkhand and V.S.

He argues that the current Modi government is using civilian awards for political purposes. According to him, a possible reason for not selecting Balasaheb Thackeray for a Padma award is that it could strengthen the political prospects of the Thackeray brothers, Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, in Maharashtra who are political opponents of the BJP.

At the unveiling of the "India Employment Report 2024: Youth Employment, Education and Skills," co-authored by the International Labour Organisation and The Institute for Human Development (IHD), Nageswaran questioned the government's role in tackling unemployment beyond increasing its own workforce. He highlighted the importance of the private sector in job creation and outlined government initiatives like skill development and the National Education Policy of 2020, emphasizing the need to shield them from political influence. Nageswaran also mentioned corporate tax breaks and subsidies aimed at promoting employment over capital accumulation. Drawing parallels with a satirical film from the 1970s, he questioned whether governments globally were inadvertently discouraging work through welfare policies meant to alleviate the consequences of unemployment, potentially disrupting the labor market. He highlighted the unintended consequences of public policy interventions and questioned whether individuals, particularly the youth, were sufficiently motivated to work and equip themselves with the necessary skills.

Editorial With Sujit Nair | Has SBI Disclosed Complete Electoral Bond Data?

Tue, 02 Apr 2024 06:38:33 -0000

In a recent episode of 'Editorial', Mr. Sujit Nair raised concerns regarding the transparency of data related to Electoral Bonds sold by the State Bank of India (SBI). Following a Supreme Court ruling on February 15, which deemed the electoral bond scheme unconstitutional, the SBI was instructed to provide detailed information on the bonds to the Election Commission by March 6. The SBI had been selling these bonds in 30 phases since March 1, 2018. However, in a plea submitted to the court on March 4 seeking an extension, they only accounted for bonds sold in 22 phases from April 2019 onwards. Initially, they stated that 22,217 electoral bonds were used for political donations between April 12, 2019, and February 15, 2024. Later, they admitted to an error, clarifying that only 18,871 bonds were sold during that period. An additional 3,346 bonds were sold between April 1 and April 11, 2019, as indicated in a table within the compliance affidavit submitted on March 12. The SBI referenced the Supreme Court's February 2024 judgement, which instructed them to disclose details of electoral bonds purchased since April 12, 2019. However, it seems there was a misunderstanding, as the court likely intended to request data beyond what had already been submitted in a sealed cover. This confusion resulted in a gap in the data, with some information disclosed but other parts remaining undisclosed. The sealed cover data includes information on bonds issued in ten phases between March 1, 2018, and May 15, 2019, totaling 11,681 bonds. Of these, data for 2,522 bonds issued between April 12 and May 15, 2019, has been revealed. However, information for the remaining 9,159 bonds issued between March 1, 2018, and April 12, 2019, totaling Rs 4,002 crore, is still missing. Despite a Supreme Court order on March 11 instructing the Election Commission to publish the details of the information supplied to the court, including the sealed cover data, on its official website, this information has yet to be released.

Tue, 02 Apr 2024 06:30:38 -0000

In this episode of 'Editorial', Mr. Sujit Nair discusses the Supreme Court's recent action towards the State Bank of India (SBI) regarding the disclosure of Unique Serial Numbers on electoral bonds. The Supreme Court of India has reprimanded the SBI for failing to share the unique serial numbers assigned to electoral bonds, the data of which was recently made public.

The apex court observed that the SBI did not reveal the distinctive alphanumeric numbers associated with each electoral bond. Consequently, it issued a notice to the SBI, demanding a response by March 18. The Supreme Court reiterated that its earlier judgment by a five-judge Constitution bench mandated the disclosure of all electoral bond details, including the purchase date, purchaser's name, and the bond denomination.

Editorial With Sujit Nair | Electoral Bonds: Employees Federation Demands SBI Chairman To Resign

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 10:48:23 -0000

In this episode of ""Editorial,"" Mr. Sujit Nair discusses the Maharashtra State Bank Employees Federation's call for the resignation of SBI Chairman Dinesh Khera. The federation is demanding Khera's resignation due to his submission to the Supreme Court requesting an extension until June 2024 to provide information on electoral bonds, citing the time-consuming nature of the process. According to the federation, Khera's actions have tarnished the reputation of the bank, especially in light of the Supreme Court's remarks on the matter, despite Khera receiving an extension just before his retirement. “This has resulted in damage to the image of the bank and has shaken the credibility of the bank on transparency and corporate governance and thus SBI Chairman should step down,” said Devidas Tuljapurkar, General Secretary, Maharashtra State Bank Employees Federation. “It is not known as to whether he has taken this position at his own or has taken the board of Directors into confidence wherein government & RBI nominee also should clarify their position on record,” he said.

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 09:43:47 -0000

In this episode of 'Editorial,' Mr. Sujit Nair delves into the resignation of Election Commissioner Arun Goel just ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Following the Union law ministry's announcement of Goel's resignation, Election Commission officials found themselves puzzled, especially considering the remaining three years of Goel's tenure and the expected elevation to the position of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) in 2025. According to information obtained from five officials interviewed by HT, it became apparent that Goel and CEC Rajiv Kumar had experienced differences, ranging from routine matters to more complex issues. However, these disagreements failed to provide a clear explanation for Goel's sudden decision to resign. Notably, a significant point of contention between them was the Election Commission's order on February 17, 2023, regarding the allocation of the Shiv Sena's party name and poll symbol to the Eknath Shinde faction based on legislative majority, as disclosed by four officials to HT.

Editorial With Sujit Nair | Are Crimes Against Foreigners In India Real?

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 08:25:38 -0000

In this edition of "Editorial," Mr. Sujit Nair addresses the issue of the notably low conviction rates in 'Crimes against Foreigners' in India. The discussion centers on a recent gang-rape incident involving a Spanish woman in Jharkhand, shedding light on the overall decline in conviction rates for crimes against foreigners in the country. Statistical data reveals that a majority of such crimes rarely proceed to court, and convictions are even more infrequent. Over the seven-year period from 2016 to 2022, India recorded 148 rape cases involving foreign victims, but only 16 of these cases were resolved by the courts. Resolution encompasses various outcomes such as convictions, discharges, acquittals, or other actions taken by the court. Out of these 16 cases, a mere seven resulted in convictions, illustrating that approximately one in every 20 reported rape cases involving foreign victims leads to a conviction. It's important to note that these seven convictions may have originated from cases filed well before 2016. Examining the reported cases and achieved convictions over a specific timeframe, in this instance, seven years, provides insight into the number of cases reported to the police and the subsequent conviction rates.

Urban Indians exhibit a keen interest in participating in the imminent Lok Sabha polls but harbor pessimism regarding critical issues, notably citing unemployment as their primary concern.

Notably, respondents who identified as Muslim (constituting 12% of the sample) were more inclined to predict enhanced communal relations within five years (42%) compared to Hindu respondents (31%). The survey also sought opinions on the current government's accomplishments, with India's Covid-19 vaccination drive emerging as the most recognized achievement. Among the respondents, 43% ranked the vaccination drive among the top three achievements from a list that could be perceived positively by supporters of the ruling party.

Editorial With Sujit Nair | Why Is SBI Seeking Extension On Electoral Bonds?

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 07:35:15 -0000

In this edition of 'Editorial,' Mr. Sujit Nair addresses the State Bank of India's application filed in the Supreme Court, requesting an extension until June 30, 2024, to provide electoral bonds information to the Election Commission of India. According to a Constitutional Bench's ruling on February 15, the SBI is obligated to submit the information to the ECI by March 6. The application outlines that between April 12, 2019, and February 15, 2024, a total of 22,217 electoral bonds were issued for donations to various parties. Redeemed bonds were submitted to the Mumbai Main Branch by Authorized Branches in sealed envelopes after each phase.

The SBI argues that the three-week timeline set by the Supreme Court would not be adequate for completing the entire process.

Editorial With Sujit Nair | “No Immunity For Legislators Taking Bribe For Vote/Speech”: SC

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 06:03:37 -0000

In this Editorial episode, Mr. Sujit Nair discusses a significant ruling by a 7-judge bench of the Supreme Court, overturning the 1998 PV Narasimha Rao judgment. The previous verdict allowed Members of Parliament and legislative assemblies to claim immunity under Articles 105(2) and 194(2) of the Constitution for receiving bribes in anticipation of a vote or speech in the legislature. The latest decision, delivered by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices AS Bopanna, MM Sundresh, PS Narasimha, JB Pardiwala, Sanjay Kumar, and Manoj Misra, sets aside the earlier ruling. In the 1998 case, a five-judge bench had ruled, with a 3:2 majority, that legislators were immune from prosecution in bribery cases related to their parliamentary duties. This decision was challenged in an appeal by Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader Sita Soren, accused of accepting a bribe for a 2012 Rajya Sabha vote. The Jharkhand High Court rejected her plea, leading to the Supreme Court challenge. After a two-day hearing, the seven-judge bench reserved its verdict in October of the previous year. Today, the constitution bench held that a member of parliament or the state legislature cannot claim immunity from prosecution on charge of bribery in a criminal court by virtue of Articles 105(2) and 194(2) of the Constitution, observing - ""We disagree with and overrule the judgment of the majority on this aspect. We have concluded that first, the doctrine of stare decisis is not an inflexible rule of law. A larger bench of this court may reconsider a previous decision in appropriate cases bearing in mind the tests which have been formulated by this court. The judgment in PV Narasihma Rao which grants immunity from prosecution to a member of a legislature who has allegedly engaged in bribery for casting a vote or making a speech has wide ramifications on public interest, probity in public life, and parliamentary democracy. There is a grave danger of this court allowing the error to be perpetuated if the decision were not reconsidered.

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 05:36:58 -0000

In this edition of 'Editorial,' Mr. Sujit Nair discusses the declining employment opportunities in the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).

However, in the current financial year of 2023-24, only 2.75 million households have been able to meet the legally mandated full quota.

Editorial With Sujit Nair | Opposition Is Corrupt

Tue, 12 Mar 2024 07:18:19 -0000

In this episode of 'Editorial,' Mr. Sujit Nair sheds light on the apparent contradiction within the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's narrative. While the BJP and PM Modi vociferously accuse opposition parties of corruption, there seems to be an ironic embrace of allegedly corrupt politicians into their ranks, facilitated by the muscle power of enforcement agencies. During a recent address, the Prime Minister emphasized a rising buzzword - ""guarantee."" He asserted that all these political parties guarantee corruption, being synonymous with scams amounting to lakhs and crores. The recent Patna gathering serves as a visual representation of this, where individuals implicated in various scams were present, forming a collective guarantee of at least a Rs 20 lakh crore scam. The Prime Minister specifically highlighted the colossal scams attributed to the Congress party, surpassing lakhs of crores in value. These include the infamous 1.86 lakh crore coal scam, the 1.74 lakh crore 2G scam, the Rs 70,000 crore Commonwealth Games scam, and the Rs 10,000 crore MNREGA scam. This narrative underscores the BJP's challenge in reconciling its anti-corruption rhetoric with the apparent inclusion of individuals accused of major scams. The episode raises questions about the consistency and sincerity of the ruling party's stance on corruption in Indian politics.

A delegation visited Sandeshkhali and presented the report, highlighting the alleged collaboration between criminals and the state government, adversely affecting the lives of Scheduled Caste communities. NCSC Chairperson Arun Halder stated that the government led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee provided no assistance when the commission attempted to meet the women reportedly assaulted by Sheikh Shahjahan.

Editorial With Sujit Nair | Does South India Feel Left Out?

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 12:25:11 -0000

In this editorial segment, Mr. Sujit Nair addresses the imbalanced allocation of funds between northern and southern Indian states, along with the upcoming delimitation and seat redistribution in Parliament. Tamil Nadu, for every rupee it contributes to the Centre receives only 29 paise in return, while Uttar Pradesh gets ₹2.73 and Bihar receives ₹7.06. The current formula used by the Fifteenth Finance Commission (XVFC) for distributing funds from the pooled-in tax collections favors certain states, leading to significant disparities. The higher weightage given to population in the formula disproportionately benefits some northern states, causing contention between the affected states and the Centre. Tamil Nadu's Finance Minister, P.T.R. Palanivel Thiagarajan, criticizes the allocation based on population, stating that it rewards states that have not effectively controlled their population.

Editorial With Sujit Nair | Supreme Court On Chandigarh Mayor Polls, “This is murder of democracy”

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 14:00:27 -0000

In this editorial segment, Mr. Sujit Nair discusses Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud's comments on the Chandigarh Mayor Polls. The Supreme Court expressed concern over the conduct of the Presiding Officer during the elections, stating that it was evident that the ballot papers were defaced. CJI Chandrachud strongly criticized the behavior, calling it a mockery and murder of democracy, and suggested that the individual responsible should face prosecution.

The Chief Justice, along with Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, heard a petition filed by AAP Councillor Kuldeep Kumar, the defeated Mayor candidate, challenging the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision not to stay the immediate election. The Supreme Court issued a notice on Kumar's petition and deferred the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation meeting scheduled for February 7.

The Court ordered the sequestration of the entire record of the Mayor election, directing it to be kept with the Punjab & Haryana High Court Registrar General. It also mandated the preservation of ballots and videography. The Deputy Commissioner of Chandigarh was instructed to hand over the records to the HC Registrar General by 5 PM on the same day.

Senior Advocate Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing the petitioner, alleged that a BJP candidate, serving as the Presiding Officer, intentionally defaced eight ballot papers of Congress-AAP councillors, rendering their votes invalid. Solicitor General of India Tushar Mehta argued that the video presented a one-sided view and urged the Court to consider the entire records before making a comprehensive decision.

Expressing dissatisfaction with the High Court's approach, CJI Chandrachud criticized the failure to issue an appropriate interim order.

Editorial With Sujit Nair: Why ED Summoned Tamil Nadu Farmers?

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 08:54:28 -0000

The Enforcement Directorate dropped a case against 2 Dalit farmers of Tamil Nadu after the summons issued to them mentioned their caste which sparked a controversy. In an alleged case of money laundering, the investigations revealed only ₹ 450 in their bank account. In July 2023, when Kannaiyan, 72, and Krishnan, 66, Dalit farmers residing in Attur, Tamil Nadu's Salem district, received a summons from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding an alleged money laundering case, their attorney, Dalit G Pravina, revealed that the brothers had a meager Rs 450 in their bank account. The peculiarity of the ED summons stemmed not only from the brothers' limited land ownership of 6.5 acres but also from their ongoing land dispute with G Gunashekar, a prominent leader in the BJP's Salem East wing. According to Narayanan Thirupathy, the BJP state spokesperson, both Gunashekar and the brothers had filed complaints against each other, accusing one another of land grab. Gunashekar was not available for comments. A senior ED officer, requesting anonymity said “The matter has been blown out of proportion as the summons are almost six months old,” “We had registered a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case in March 2022 against Kannaiyan and Krishnan based on a letter forwarded by Tamil Nadu forest department on July 12, 2021. The forest department’s case was related to the killing of two wild buffaloes under section 51 and 9 of Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, which are scheduled offences. We have been taking up several wildlife cases lately in line with court orders and Financial Action Task Force’s mandate to track wildlife cases,” said the officer. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is reportedly set to close a money laundering case against two Dalit farmers from Tamil Nadu, according to sources familiar with the matter. HW News’ Managing Editor Mr. Sujit Nair discusses how central agencies like the ED and CBI are being used as mere election tools.

"In a little over a week since New York-based investor research firm Hindenburg Research accused industrialist Gautam Adani-led conglomerate of “brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme over the course of decades”, shares of Adani Group companies have nosedived. Adani, who until recently was the richest Indian in the world, has now slipped to 22nd spot in the Forbes Real-time billionaire list for 2023. Although shares in Adani companies recovered after sharp falls earlier in the day, the seven listed firms have still lost about half their market value – or more than USD 100 billion combined – since the US-based short-seller last week questioned the group over its debt levels.

Over the past few days, Bageshwar Dham, a temple in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, has been the talking point on TV debates and on social media.

Shashtri, a self-styled godman, is known to travel across the country for religious addresses known as "katha". Recently, a Maharashtra-based anti-superstition organisation challenged him to display miraculous powers he claims to possess at an event in Nagpur.What followed was a fierce pushback from the self-styled godman. Speaking to news agency ANI, he said he has faith in Bageshwar Balaji, the temple deity. "Anyone can challenge my words and actions on camera. Whatever inspires me, I will write and what I write will turn out to be true."In a video from one of his kathas, now viral, the self-styled godman calls a journalist from the crowd and then shares information about his family members.

People have thereafter claimed that all the information could be found on the journalist's social media accounts.

Editorial with Sujit Nair: Is Legislature "Supreme" Or Judiciary?

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 10:29:18 -0000

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday questioned the landmark 1973 Kesavananda Bharati case verdict that gave the basic structure doctrine, saying it set a bad precedent and if any authority questions Parliament's power to amend the Constitution, it would be difficult to say "we are a democratic nation". As he again criticised the scrapping of the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) Act in 2015 by the top court, Mr Dhankhar said he does not subscribe to the Kesavananda Bharati case ruling that Parliament can amend the Constitution but not its basic structure. The basic structure principle became the ground for setting aside several Constitutional amendments, including the quashing of the Constitutional amendment and the corresponding NJAC Act on the appointment of judges in the higher judiciary.In this episode of the Editorial our Managing Editor Mr Sujit Nair shares his take on the matter.

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 11:39:33 -0000

The NCERT has removed portions about the 2002 Gujarat riots, Emergency, Cold War, Naxalite movement and Mughal courts from its class 12 textbooks as part of its "syllabus rationalisation" exercise. The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has cited "overlapping" and "irrelevant" as reasons for dropping those portions from the syllabus. Many of these changes were announced earlier this year when the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) rationalised its syllabi in April. Besides schools under CBSE, some state boards also use NCERT textbooks. In this episode of the Editorial, our Managing Editor Mr Sujit Nair shares his take on the matter.
