New Delhi [India], March 24 (ANI):

-mp”>Congress MP
Shashi Tharoor
criticized the governing body on Monday for interrupting
Parliament
and stated that the concern brought up by the government is “irrelevant” since it falls under state jurisdiction.
It is incredibly surprising when you observe that the governing party, which fundamentally acts as the government responsible for managing parliamentary affairs, has opted to obstruct proceedings.
Parliament
In this manner, it is profoundly disheartening. In my opinion, the matter they’ve brought up is not pertinent since it falls under state jurisdiction… It is unrelated to central matters.
Parliament
“Why are they attempting to disturb the House over that issue?” Tharoor said to ANI.
“Honestly, we are reducing
Parliament
Into a farce. If we fail to operate effectively, why would voters wish to hand over their valuable taxes to support an organization that was once revered as the sanctuary of democracy? Should our debates descend into yelling contests rather than respectful discussions, it truly would be disheartening,” he remarked.
A commotion broke out within a few minutes of the session starting in the Rajya Sabha.
Karnataka
Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar’s comments suggesting potential alterations to the Constitution have been noted.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju asked the Leader of Opposition, Mallikarjun Kharge, to explain the Congress party’s stance on reservations for Muslims. In response, the head of the Congress stated that no one has the power to amend the Constitution.
In the Rajya Sabha, Kiren Rijiju referred to Shivakumar’s comments as “highly serious.”
“We do not aim to disturb this critical moment during which I stand before you due to an exceptionally delicate issue brought to light. A highly esteemed leader within the Congress party, occupying a constitutional role, has declared their intent to amend the Constitution so as to introduce quotas for the Muslim community. This declaration cannot be taken frivolously; it represents a profoundly grave concern that we find unacceptable, constituting effectively an attack upon the Indian Constitution itself. Therefore, I seek a definitive response from the President of the Congress Party (Mallikarjun Kharge), present in this assembly. He must clarify his stance and explain both to Parliament and the citizens of India why the Congress wishes to alter the Constitution with provisions aimed at providing reservations for Muslims.” Said Rijiju.
In response to Kiren Rijiju, Mallikarjun Kharge, the leader of the Opposition (LoP) and head of the Congress party, stated that their party initiated the Bharat Jodo Yatra nationwide with the aim of safeguarding the Constitution.
“No one can amend the Constitution framed by Babasaheb Ambedkar. No one can abolish reservations either. We undertook the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kashmir to Kanyakumari to safeguard these provisions. It’s them (indicating towards NDA MPs) who are damaging our country,” stated Kharge.
Kiren Rijiju further replied to Kharge and demanded the resignation of
Karnataka
Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar.
“By bringing up the topic of Muslim reservations, Congress has tarnished the reputation of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s Constitution. If you possess courage, call for the deputy chief minister’s resignation right away,” Rijiju stated.
JP Nadda, the Leader of the House, mentioned that the Constitution clearly states reservations should not be granted on the basis of religion.
The Congress Party’s decision to introduce caste-based reservations according to religious lines goes against the fundamental principles set forth by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in the Constitution.
Karnataka
The Congress has already implemented a 4% reservation quota based on religion for public contracts. These types of laws and policies ought to be repealed. Nobody can amend the Constitution, which was developed under the guidance of B.R. Ambedkar,” said Nadda.
Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar suspended the session until 2 pm due to an outcry over the proposed 4 percent reservation for minority groups.

Following remarks made by DK Shivakumar at an event on Sunday, where he discussed the bill offering a four percent reservation for minorities and other backward classes in public contracts within the state, he apparently stated that “the Constitution would be amended.” (ANI)

As Kenya approaches the heightened political season of 2026 with just one year left, President William Ruto encounters a crucial juncture in his tenure.
This phase is vital for solidifying his developmental priorities before politics dominates the national conversation.
The political scene is changing quickly, presenting unforeseen hurdles due to an enthusiastic and vocal generation—the Gen Z movement—finding its footing among younger demographics.
What issues is Generation Z presenting for Ruto’s government?
Their impact is expanding, their communication is straightforward, and they are demonstrating remarkable resilience under continued strain.
Recent occurrences have highlighted the extent of their organization. During the Safari Rally in Naivasha and at the football match between Kenya and Gabon, the phrase “Ruto Raila Must Go” reverberated through the spectators.
These occurrences were part of an organized plan rather than random events, and this approach is becoming increasingly popular. It’s noteworthy that this initiative has spread into areas once regarded as neutral or non-political domains.
The noise is spilling over into churches, a realm where the president once enjoyed unchallenged dominance. Even places of worship have not been spared from this new wave of defiance.
This rebellion differs from conventional opposition movements as it doesn’t center around political figures or pre-existing frameworks.
This approach is direct and untampered, flourishing through impromptu interactions. The difficulty for the president lies in the absence of one key figure to engage in talks, no hidden negotiations to secure, and no sum of financial incentives capable of suppressing it.
This is an organic movement fueled by frustration, economic circumstances, and a generation determined not to be overlooked.
Given these circumstances, Ruto needs to adjust his strategy. It would be unwise for him to participate in heated debates or try to overshadow the criticism via competing events and additional public engagements.
Implementing that approach would merely exacerbate the situation. Instead, he should focus on engaging with governmental operations and allow his actions to convey his message.
Government ministries, departments, and agencies ought to spearhead the demonstration of advancements.
It falls upon them to convey the administration’s accomplishments, rather than the president doing so directly.
What strategies can William Ruto employ to lessen criticism?
He ought to avoid giving in to the urge to react immediately to distractions and concentrate on producing concrete outcomes instead.
By withdrawing from public attention and focusing on administration, the nation’s leader will generate an air of intrigue surrounding his leadership.
The further he remains from public disputes, the less chance his opponents have to challenge him according to their preferences.
His absence from the daily show will compel his rivals to step into the breach, revealing their shortcomings and dearth of a viable strategy.
The Generation Z movement isn’t fading away. Their presence will remain strong, their tactics will adapt, and their impact will expand.
Ruto’s most effective approach would be not to confront the tide head-on but rather elevate himself above it. He needs to reduce his visibility, concentrate more on governance, and fully dedicate himself to state affairs.
His quietness will convey more powerfully than any protest march. Through his efforts, he shall build his shield. By 2026, as the nation becomes deeply entangled in political affairs, he would have established a heritage robust enough to endure the clamor.

Everyone’s attention is focused on General Prawit Wongsuwon, the leader of the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP), who is reportedly planning to bring in ruling Pheu Thai Party Member of Parliament Police Captain Chalerm Ubumrung for the questioning of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra during the censure motion on Monday. These individuals are anticipated to present possibly incriminating accusations against the administration.
The Secretary-General of the PPRP, Paiboon Nititawan, stated that Gen Prawit will address the meeting following an opening speech by opposition leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut at the House of Representatives.
General Prawit plans to initiate an assault against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who stands as the only subject of criticism, addressing various matters such as the Alpine temple property dispute, the proposed casino-entertainment center development, and the MoU 44 territory disagreement with Cambodia.
The detention of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is being held in a comfortable section of the Police General Hospital instead of prison, is also anticipated to face scrutiny.
Thaksin, who is reportedly the real head of the Pheu Thai Party, is Miss Paetongtarn’s dad. Despite the detention being targeted at Thaksin, it essentially concerns the entire Shinawatra clan, according to Mr Paiboon.
However, the secretary-general of the PPRP was tight-lipped regarding the two additional accusations anticipated from General Prawit. “These will involve fresh matters pertaining to the prime minister. That’s all I can disclose for now,” he stated.
In the meantime, one source indicated that Pol Capt Chalerm, a renowned star debater who harbors a grudge against his own party, might have shared crucial details regarding Thaksin’s detainment before the confrontation.
Earlier, Gen Prawit met with Pol Capt Chalerm, who conveyed his enthusiasm about being part of the PPRP’s group of debaters, as per the source.
Nonetheless, Rangsiman Rome, the deputy leader of the opposition People’s Party (PP), stated on Saturday that the list of participants for the debate remains unconfirmed. He explained that it’s currently unclear whether Police Captain Chalerm meets the criteria to take part.
“Even if Colonel Pol Capt Chalerm requested to participate, senior members of PP would still need to be consulted beforehand,” Mr. Rangsiman said additionally.
Mr. Rangsiman stated that ‘There are no slots open for government MPs within the opposition.’
The debate for censure will take place on Monday and Tuesday, during which the opposition will have 28 hours to interrogate the prime minister, whereas the government and cabinet will be granted seven hours to address inquiries.
The disagreement between Pol Captain Chalerm and Thaksin began following an incident where both he and his son, ex-MP Wan Ubumrung, participated in a meeting hosted by a competing candidate in Pathum Thani shortly after local elections took place. Following this event, Mr. Wan stepped down from Pheu Thai and transferred his allegiance to the PPRP.
Police Captain Chalerm has warned of his intention to reveal confidential information regarding Thaksin and mentioned that he is contemplating running as an independent member of parliament.
Meanwhile, Ms Paetongtarn appeared relaxed during a dinner she hosted for coalition parties on Friday.
In her Instagram post at @INGSHIN21, Ms. Paetongtarn characterized the meeting as casual and mentioned that various party leaders joined her in sharing anecdotes about previous instances where they were criticized during parliamentary discussions.
‘It was enjoyable and truly a morale booster,’ she wrote.
Meanwhile, Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, said the coalition was ready to rally around the prime minister and prepare for any allegations that implicate them.
Even though the no-confidence motion was filed solely against Ms Paetongtarn, it is tantamount to a motion against the entire cabinet, said Mr Anutin who is also deputy prime minister and interior minister.
He added that he believed in Ms Paetongtarn’s competence, despite the pressure of this being her first censure debate.

– Kepala Kantor Komunikasi Kepresidenan
Hasan Nasbi
Menganggap ancaman dari paket berisi kepala babi yang dikirm ke kantor media Tempo sebaiknya tidak diperbesar agar jangan sampai penyebaran rasa takut, karena ini adalah sasaran utama para pelaku terror.
Juru bicara istana pun menyatakan bahwa maksud responnya adalah mengingatkan agar wartawan Tempo, yakni Fransiska, mengecek isi dari paket tersebut sebagai tindakan supaya ancaman yang dirancang oleh pelaku penyerangan terhadap media dan publik gagal mencapai tujuannya.

“Saya menyempurnakan respons itu, ya, sekalian saja, kan? Kalau orang kirim (paket) itu sebagai teror, ternyata bahan makanan, dia dimasak ajalah. Peneror, kan, pasti stres kalau bahan kiriman dia dimasak, kan begitu,” kata Hasan dalam keterangan tertulis kepada media di Jakarta, Sabtu (22/3/2025).

Laki-laki dengan latar belakang sebagai konsultan politik tersebut menjelaskan bahwa pernyataan dirinya sesuai dengan sikap yang ditunjukkan oleh Fransisca atau biasa dipanggil Caca, yaitu seorang jurnalis dari Tempo yang menerima kiriman paket melalui media sosial dan tampaknya tetap teguh dalam pendiriannya tanpa takut.

yang dialamatkan kepadanya.
Menurut Hasan, tujuan peneror mengirimkan paket itu adalah untuk menebar ketakutan, sehingga kemudian akan dibesar-besarkan oleh banyak pihak.
“Kita tidak boleh malah membantu menyebarkan rasa takut, sebab ini adalah tujuan dari pelaku teror. Harusnya kita yang mengurangi pengaruhnya. Cara termudah untuk meredam kekuatan pelaku teror tersebut, yaitu dengan ‘memasakkannya’, bukankah begitu?” ungkap Hasan.
Terkait masalah kebebasan pers, Hasan juga menggarisbawahi bahwa sampai saat ini belum ada satupun media atau wartawan yang diproses laporan atas sikap kritis mereka terhadap pemerintahan tersebut.

Hasan berpendapat hal itu merupakan bukti konkret bahwa pemerintahan tidak membatasi kebebasan media. Presiden Prabowo Subianto juga tak menyebutkan secara spesifik tentang kasus Tempo serta isu kebebasan pers sebab dianggap tidak terjadi kendala apa pun.
“Tidak ada orang yang dicekal dari istana hanya karena bersikap kritis. Tidak ada. Tidak ada jurnalis yang diblokir meliput, misalkan, di berbagai kantor pemerintahan sebab pendapat kritis mereka. Tidak ada. Oleh karena itu, menurut pihak pemerintah ini merupakan bukti konkret dukungan terhadap kebebasan pers,” katanya.
Sebelumnya, Jubir Istana Hasan Basri mendapat banyak kritikan terkait pernyataan yang menyebutkan bahwa paket berisi kepala babi yang dikirim ke kantor Tempo harus dimasak saja.

Coalition of Civil Society strongly condemned Hasan Nasbi’s statement for being seen as lacking empathy and belittling press freedom, deeming such remarks unfit coming from a high-ranking government official.
Dalam pernyataannya, Nasbi dengan nada sindiran mengusulkan untuk memasak kepala babi yang ditemukan di hadapan kantor Tempo. Koalisi mencatat bahwa komentar itu bukan saja menandakan ketidaktahuan akan belas kasihan, tapi juga melupakan hak atas kebebasan pers serta keselamatan wartawan.
Kelompok-kelompok masyarakat sipil seperti Centra Initiative, Imparsial, PBHI, ELSAM, Walhi, HRWG, DeJuRe, serta Setara Institute menggarisbawahi bahwa pernyataan Nasbi menunjukkan adanya penurunan kesungguhan pemerintahan dalam mendukung demokrasi dan hak-hak warga negara.
Sebaliknya dari mengungkapkan kesedihan tentang insiden teror, pernyataan yang disampaikan Nasbi malah dipandang sebagai pemberian legitimasi pada upaya pengintimidasan terhadap pers.
“Pernyataan itu tak boleh dibiarkan begitu saja lantaran mengandung elemen ketidakpuasan terhadap golongan wartawan atau media yang bersifat kritikal,” tandas Koalisi pada pernyatiannya hari Sabtu (22/3).
Mereka juga mendesak
Prabowo
Untuk mempertimbangkan ulang jabatan Nasbi sebagai Kepala Kantor Komunikasi Kepresidenan karena tindakannya dianggap tak pantas dan tidak sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip demokrasi.
Julius Ibrani dari PBHI dengan tegas mengecam Nasbi sambil berkata, “Kepala Kantor yang tanpa isi di kepala tetapi memiliki kantor.”
Pernyataan tersebut mencerminkan ketidakpuasan atas performa Nasbi, terlebih lagi setelah twit-nya tentang Rancangan Undang-Undang Tentara Nasional Indonesia (RUU TNI) dihapus dan hal ini menambah daftar kontroversial sebelumnya.
