Has India’s anti-defection law become biggest weapon in battle for political power? Interview with Dushyant Dave

Has India’s anti-defection law become biggest weapon in battle for political power? Interview with Dushyant Dave

India’s anti-defection law was enacted in 1985 to curb the culture of “Aya Ram, Gaya Ram” politics, where legislators frequently switched parties for power and patronage. Four decades later, however, senior advocate Dushyant Dave argues that the law has failed to achieve its objective. In the interview, Dave traces the evolution of the anti-defection law and examines the constitutional interpretation of the Tenth Schedule, (Sansad TV) In an exclusive interview with Kumkum Chadha, Dave traced the evolution of the anti-defection law, examined the constitutional interpretation of the Tenth Schedule, questioned the role of the Supreme Court in recent political crises, and reflected on what recurring defections mean for Indian democracy. From ‘Aya Ram, Gaya Ram’ to the anti-defection law Dave described the 1985 anti-defection law introduced by the Rajiv Gandhi government as “an extraordinarily wise and very futuristic move,” saying it reflected Parliament’s intention to restore political morality.

Volkswagen weighs 100,000 job cuts and four factory closures in biggest labor battle in history

Volkswagen weighs 100,000 job cuts and four factory closures in biggest labor battle in history

Volkswagen is considering cutting up to 100,000 jobs and shutting four factories in Germany, a restructuring that would become the largest workforce reduction in automotive industry history if approved, Reuters reported, citing the people familiar with the matter. Members of VW’s supervisory board have been informed of the plans, which are due to be discussed at a board meeting on July 9, the report added. The restructuring highlights the mounting pressure on Europe’s biggest carmaker from Chinese electric vehicle makers, weakening demand in Europe and US tariffs. The outcome could reshape Germany’s manufacturing sector and the global auto industry. Up to 100,000 jobs at risk Closing plants at Hanover, Zwickau, Emden and Audi’s Neckarsulm site would put more than 45,000 jobs at risk, on top of the 50,000 cuts already planned, bringing the total to as many as 100,000 positions. In absolute terms, the move would surpass even General Motors’ sweeping restructuring during its 2009 bankruptcy, and the early 1990s when GM cut up to 74,000 jobs over four years and shut or idled 21 …

Suneel Darshan, Sunny Deol legal battle reignites

Filmmaker Suneel Darshan, who has been embroiled in a legal battle with Sunny Deol for over a decade after the actor allegedly walked out of Darshan’s film Good Morning India in 2008, is back to seeking legal recourse. Sunny Deol The filmmaker had originally sued Deol for ₹20 crore, alleging losses after the actor walked out of the project. His petition was dismissed in a 2015 judgement.
