Marulasiddaradhya has appealed to all stakeholders to join hands to eradicate the practice from its root. He was addressing a gathering after inaugurating a World Day Against Child Labour function in Yadgir on Friday. He stressed that legal action should be initiated against those who are responsible for child labour. Necessary awareness should be created among parents who are forced to allow their children to take up labour, he said. “Law not only prevents child labour but also hands out punishment accordingly if a citizen is found using children aged below 14 years as labour,” the judge said. He said that child labour keeps the nation undeveloped and said no child should be deprived of getting an education. If a child is forced to work, he will miss an opportunity to become well-educated and serve the nation, he added. Additional Deputy Commissioner Ramesh Kolar said that …

Upasana Singh backs Shilpa Shinde: If producers can forgive her, who are we to judge?

ctor-comedian and General Secretary of the Cine and TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA), Upasana Singh comes out in support of Shilpa Shinde after the actor faces criticism for admitting that the sexual harassment allegations she made against Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain producer Sanjay Kohli nearly nine years ago were false. Speaking to us, Upasana asserts that while Shinde’s actions were undoubtedly wrong, her decision to publicly acknowledge and regret them should also be taken into account. Upasana Singh backs Shilpa Shinde: If producers can forgive her, who are we to judge? Shinde’s revelation, made recently on a podcast, sparks strong reactions from members of the television industry and organisations such as FWICE and AICWA. While many criticise the actor, Upasana has a different take. “Shilpa herself has admitted that she made a mistake.

I don’t support that at all. But we should not look …

Retired judge expresses concern over inordinate delay in implementing women’s quota

G. Radharani | Photo Credit: RAMAKRISHNA G Retired judge of Telangana High Court G. Radharani has expressed concern over the inordinate delay in the implementation of 33% reservation for women in Parliament and legislative bodies. “Will the reservation for women be implemented in 2029 elections,” she questioned. She was speaking at a seminar organised by the Constitution Protection Forum here on Sunday. Justice Radharani, chairperson of the Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, said reservations for women were given in legislative assemblies in countries around the world as early as 1920. In countries like Rwanda and Congo, more than 60% of women were in legislative assemblies while it was more than 25% in European countries. “It is a matter of concern that women’s representation has not crossed 14% in our country even after so many decades of independence,” she said. This, she added, was because of the male-dominated political parties which felt that their powers would be lost by giving 33% reservation to women in Parliament and State legislatures. “They (these parties) want to link delimitation of …

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has rejected the anticipatory bail granted to retired Bhopal district judge Giribala Singh in the Twisha Sharma dowry harassment and death case, quashing an order by a local Bhopal court passed on May 15. The anticipatory bail had been granted to her by a Sessions court in Bhopal on May 15, just hours after an FIR was lodged by local police in the case, booking her and her son Samarth Singh, Twisha’s husband.
