 Delhi’s vendors struggle to stay on the street as lasting solutions remain on paper https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/delhis-vendors-struggle-to-stay-on-the-street-as-lasting-solutions-remain-on-paper/article68218226.ece  May 27, 2024

Political parties made a whole bunch of promises to street vendors ahead of the Lok Sabha election in the national capital on May 25. What those who have stalls on the roads really want is social security, dignity to work, and a decent livelihood to survive, finds Satvika Mahajan The Street vendors Act 2014 was meant to protect the rights of urban street vendors. All street vendors were supposed to be provided licences.. Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections leading national parties made poll promises.. 
The Urban Development Ministry has the power to make decisions for street vendors. There needs to be a push to decentralise decision making with training and capacity buildingin the ULBs and TVCs.

Why has Modi gov given one month extension to army chief, Gen Manoj Pande when there is NO crisis that requires him to remain in office?
It shows:
1. Gov arbitrariness in military appointment
2. Gov did the same with CDS Anil Chauhan- who was brought back from retirement, given higher rank of 4 star & made CDS
These actions shows dangerous
preference given to senior officers who are ideologically aligned with the ruling political party. Pande ji has demonstrated this by taking military thinking to medieval statecraft- instead of focusing it on modern warfare.
If Modi gov gets another term in office, we shall have military leadership with no intellectual desire to learn what it should.
The art of generalship will be lost for ever!

The misuse of draconian laws for political gain https://www.newindianexpress.com/opinions/2024/May/26/the-misuse-of-draconian-laws-for-political-gain  Kapil Sibal 27 May 2024,  

The PMLA is perhaps the most draconian law in the history of India. Preventive detention laws, which were often used at one time, still provided for procedural safeguards that are absent in this legislation. 

monies generated from the predicate offence are proceeds of crime and using those proceeds by projecting them as untainted money is ‘money laundering’.  By virtue of the explanation added to the definition of money laundering through the Finance Act, 2019, it in effect alters the meaning of money laundering.  .The added explanation obliterates the distinction between proceeds of crime and money laundering. Therefore, under the law as it stands today, the proceeds of crime and money laundering allow the ED to enter any state to investigate the offence... Even though the predicate offence has not resulted in a chargesheet and is at the initial stage of investigation, the ED merrily starts arresting persons. Once arrested, it is impossible for the accused to secure bail because of the stringent legal provisions wherein the court has to come to the conclusion that the accused is not guilty of the offence.
