Mayawati urges Gujarat govt to seek strict punishment for accused in Una Dalit flogging case

Lucknow, BSP chief and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati on Friday urged the Gujarat government to effectively pursue the 2016 Una Dalit flogging case in the high court to ensure strict punishment for those responsible. Mayawati urges Gujarat govt to seek strict punishment for accused in Una Dalit flogging case A special court in Veraval in Gujarat’s Gir Somnath district had on March 16 convicted five persons and acquitted 35 others in the case, in which four Dalit men were assaulted while skinning a dead cow. The incident had triggered nationwide protests. In a post on X, Mayawati alleged that the acquittal of most of the accused reflected “government bias, negligence and apathy” towards the interests and safety of Dalits. She said the victim families were facing serious financial and other challenges in challenging the trial court’s verdict before the high court. “This disturbing reality has caused deep concern, particularly among the Bahujan community. I am especially concerned because I had personally met the victims after the incident and, after learning the facts, demanded …

AIFF urges Tata to reconsider Jamshedpur FC’s ISL exit

All India Football Federation (AIFF) President Kalyan Chaubey has urged the Tata group to reconsider its “shocking” decision of withdrawing Jamshedpur FC from the embattled Indian Super League (ISL). The Tata group has made it clear that JFC’s exit from the ISL was a long-planned strategic decision to ensure that the company returns to its core ideal of grassroots football development. Tata Steel vice President (Corporate Services) D B Sundara Ramam has also insisted that the move has “nothing to do” with the uncertainty surrounding the ISL’s commercial future and would not be reconsidered. However, Chaubey said the AIFF would still hope for a rethink by the legacy corporate house. “AIFF would be happy if Tata remains in football, especially in senior top tier football. If an AIFF request or application can change their mind…the AIFF would like to appeal that for the interest of the players and football, Tata should remain in the senior football league,” Chaubey told PTI in an interview. “The AIFF welcomes any suggestion (from them) and is ready to incorporate …

Pankaj Tripathi urges the youth to rediscover live theatre

Pankaj Tripathi urges the youth to rediscover live theatre

So much of our lives passes by in front of a screen. Work, education, entertainment — it’s all happening through screens. For Pankaj Tripathi, that just won’t do. The actor wants us to put our phones down and go back to the oldest form of storytelling — theatre.  In November 2025, Tripathi founded the theatre company, Roopkatha Rangmanch, with his wife Mridula Tripathi. Their first production, Lailaaj, premièred in 2025, marking the actor’s return to the stage after a 12-year hiatus. Since then, Lailaaj has attracted a wide range of viewers; some arriving because they have admired his films, others because they are theatre enthusiasts. Either way, Tripathi is happy that Mumbai is giving theatre a thought. “Many people come because they know me from films. For some, this is their first theatre experience. Afterwards, they tell me they never imagined theatre could be like this. People sometimes assume serious theatre must be difficult to understand,” he told mid-day.
