Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged people to make efforts to remove malnutrition while stressing that social awareness was a crucial aspect of this fight.

In his monthly Mann Ki Baat radio broadcast, Modi said the ‘Amrit Dhara’ of ‘Amrit Mahotsav’ marking 75 years of India’s independence was flowing in all corners of the country in this month. “On the special occasion of Amrit Mahotsav and Independence Day, we have seen the collective might of the country,” he said.

Amid the ongoing power tussle between the ruling AAP and BJP in Delhi, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday reposed “full faith” in Aam Aadmi Party MLAs and called for a confidence motion in the legislative assembly to show the strength of his government.

The reaction came a day after several reports emerged that some AAP MLAs went incommunicado ahead of a crucial meeting at Kejriwal’s residence on Thursday. However, 53 out of 62 AAP MLAs attended the meeting. According to sources, all 62 legislators were contacted ahead of the meeting.

Exclusive classified information accessed by a news channel reveals that Pakistan has shifted all its terror camps and launch pads near the line of control (LoC).

The locations have been chosen in such a way that every launch pad and terror camp is just a few kilometres away from the border.

Sources in the intelligence agencies say Pakistan has done this to increase infiltration.

The terror camps belong to jihadi groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM).

Three petitions challenging the release of 11 men convicted for the gangrape of Bilkis Bano during the 2002 Gujarat riots will be heard by the Supreme Court tomorrow. The convicts were released by the Gujarat government on Independence Day under an outdated remission policy, which turned into a huge political controversy. In 2019, the Supreme Court had awarded Bilkis Bano the highest-ever compensation in a rape case -- a job, a house and ₹ 50 lakh.

On Tuesday, the court agreed to consider the petitions filed by CPM Politburo member Subhashini Ali, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, and one other person. A bench headed by Chief Justice NV Ramana agreed to hear the matter after submissions by senior advocates Kapil Sibal (appearing for Ms Ali) and Abhishek Singhvi (appearing for Ms Moitra), and lawyer Aparna Bhat.

Writing the 96-page judgment that the Benami Transaction (Prohibition) Amendment Act of 2016 will apply prospectively, CJI Ramana said, "Authorities concerned cannot initiate or continue criminal prosecution or confiscation proceedings for transactions entered into prior to the coming into force of the 2016 Act, that is October 25, 2016."

"As a consequence of the above declaration, all such prosecutions or confiscation proceedings (for transactions between 1988 and 2016) shall stand quashed," the bench said. The CJI said, "Section 3 (criminal provision) read with Section 2(a) and Section 5 (confiscation proceedings) of the 1988 Act are overly broad, disproportionately harsh, and operate without adequate safeguards in place. Such provisions were stillborn law and never utilised in the first place. In this light, this court finds that Sections 3 and 5 of the 1988 Act were unconstitutional from their inception."
