No BJP tea tribe candidate for the four Assembly constituencies

Shamsul Hoque is the Congress's Jania candidate.In previous Lok Sabha elections, all three BJP candidates from the tea garden community had won. "A majority of the tea garden people voted for the BJP in the past elections. However, they did not choose a single candidate from the community. The BJP does not want the tea garden community to be politically strong," said former Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi.Asked if the Congress would ally with the All India United Democratic Front, Gogoi said there is no point talking about an alliance for the bypoll as both the parties have announced their candidates. "However, we may talk about the 2021 Assembly elections," said Gogoi. There have been reports that both the parties are looking for "an understanding to fight elections to defeat the BJP". Gogoi has said the Congress is "open to alliance with any party to defeat the BJP".The Congress on Monday released the list of 40 star campaigners. The list includes the party's Assam in-charge Harish Rawat, APCC president Ripun Bora, leader of the Opposition in the Assam Legislative Assembly Debabrata Saikia and Gogoi.

Teacher shares videos of Manesar govt school students sweeping campus

Kumar said that school teachers would routinely ask students to clean the premises despite the school having a dedicated sweeper for this purpose. 'Girls are asked to clean the school and serve tea, which disrupts their education,' said Kumar, who was first transferred from the school and later suspended on September 20. Kumar alleged that he was suspended when he made efforts to highlight the issue before officials from the education department. Earlier in July, five students from the same school had filed a writ petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking its intervention in improving the safety of students in the school. In response to the students' move, a team from the department, headed by Pardeep Dagar, special secretary, Haryana Secondary Education Department, had visited the school for assessment on July 30. Dagar confirmed that Kumar had been suspended, but on account of making videos of teachers and sharing them without their permission. He denied having any knowledge about the videos in which students can be seen sweeping the school premises. 'I am not aware about any video that shows students sweeping. He did not raise any complaint of this nature,' Dagar said, adding that the department would look into the matter.

China plays 'Fight the Landlord' to tame Hong Kong

In the current chaotic situation in Hong Kong, many young people are venting their dissatisfaction with high housing prices and expensive rents at the government," wrote an official commentary by the party's Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, which oversees China's police and courts. "They're probably blaming the wrong target."The return of "Fight the Landlord" lays bare the Communist Party's shifting attitudes toward the business world. Hong Kong's property tycoons were once big beneficiaries of an unspoken pact between Beijing and business: They could wheel and deal as they liked, so long as they helped China achieve its economic dreams and left the politics to the Communist Party.Today, as the party tightens its grip over daily Chinese life, business has become another tool for control. Business leaders who aren't sufficiently loyal can suddenly find themselves at risk.And in Hong Kong, where companies operate under a different set of laws but still depend on the mainland for their profits, China's state media is increasingly willing to threaten or humiliate any business leader who stands in the way.The party's growing reach raises questions about the future of people like Li - and, by extension, of all of Hong Kong. Li was a consummate player of the old game, cultivating ties with Beijing's most powerful leaders even as he grew his wealth. But under Xi Jinping, China's top leader, the party has demanded absolute loyalty, eliminating some of the grey areas where business in Hong Kong once stood."One of the biggest characteristics of Xi's ruling style is that he's not interested in uniting different interest groups," said Leung Man-tao, a Hong Kong writer and commentator who has big followings in both the mainland and Hong Kong. "He can't see the value of grey areas. He wants absolute loyalty."In the mainland, the party has taken a direct role in how some of China's biggest and most successful companies do business.This past summer, Chinese officials met the country's two most powerful Internet tycoons, Jack Ma of Alibaba and Pony Ma of Tencent, to talk about deeper cooperation between state-owned enterprises and the tech giants. Just two years ago, their companies ploughed billions of dollars into backing one state-owned telecommunications company.In September, officials in the Chinese city of Hangzhou said they would appoint a government representative to serve as a liaison in the top offices of companies based there, including Alibaba. They said the goal was to improve coordination between government and business.Business people who don't get on board risk becoming targets.Wang Gongquan, a billionaire venture capitalist who advocated more liberal political and social policies, was detained in September 2013 and jailed for five months. Ren Zhiqiang, a property developer, found his social media accounts deleted when he used them to criticise the party's tightening control over discourse and is no longer allowed to leave the country.Since the protests began, Beijing has taken a more direct role in Hong Kong. State-controlled media has castigated Cathay Pacific and other employers whose workers joined the protests. Beijing has urged representatives from nearly 100 of China's biggest state-run companies to step up investment and assert more control of companies in Hong Kong, according to Reuters.Now the government is taking on Hong Kong's property developers, a group that has long sought to stay in Beijing's good graces. Hong Kong's largest pro-Beijing political party in September called on the city government to take back land from developers to build affordable housing. Beijing's accusations against Li and the other real estate tycoons aren't groundless. The cozy relationship between the Hong Kong government and wealthy property developers has long drawn criticism from experts who say it worsens housing affordability.

Kashmir has been made a 'prison', will visit Farooq Abdullah: Vaiko

That is the first goal. I will visit Farooq Abdullah at his residence in Srinagar at an appropriate time". On his plea in the top court, he said, "I expect that justice will be done in the Supreme Court". The counsel submitted in the top court that the Kashmir leader, a friend of Vaiko for about 40 years, was invited to a party conference and he too had agreed to participate. Abdullah, however, could not be contacted and his whereabouts not known, Vaiko said, quoting his counsel as informing the Supreme Court. Earlier in the day, the apex court sought a response from the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir administration on Vaiko's plea, seeking to produce Abdullah before the court, Farooq Abdullah has been detained under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA), which enables authorities to detain any individual for two years without trial. Last month, Vaiko had alleged that the Centre had entangled India in "quicksand" by revoking the special status for Jammu and Kashmir. He had claimed that Kashmir would not be a part of India when the country celebrates the centenary of its independence.

Tehran 'no' to Rouhani meeting with Trump

is comments come after an attack on two major oil installations in Saudi Arabia on Saturday further escalated tensions between Iran and the US. The Houthi rebels in Yemen, who receive support from Iran, claimed responsibility for the strikes, but the Trump administration has accused Tehran of being behind the attack.On Sunday, American officials cited intelligence assessments to support the accusation, and Trump warned that he was prepared to take military action.Earlier, the White House had said that it was not ruling out the possibility of a meeting between Trump and Rouhani on the sidelines of the UN summit. But the events of the weekend have jeopardised any potential for discussion.The relationship between the two nations has devolved since last year, when Trump abruptly withdrew the US from the 2015 deal to limit Iran's nuclear programme.Last week, Trump said that he was open to the idea of meeting with Rouhani on the sidelines of the UN summit.But on Sunday, he walked back those statements, saying on Twitter that reports that he was willing to meet with Iran with no conditions were "incorrect".Trump has refrained so far from directly accusing Iran of the attacks on the Saudi oil facilities, but other administration officials have not.Shortly after the attacks on Saturday, secretary of state Mike Pompeo accused Iran of being behind what he called "an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply" and asserted that there was "no evidence the attacks came from Yemen". He did not, however, specify an alternative launch site. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
