Global rights bodies should intervene in Bangladesh, says Suvendu Adhikari.

Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Assembly and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on Tuesday appealed to international human rights organisations to intervene in Bangladesh, claiming the “fundamentalist forces” in the neighbouring country were worse than the Taliban or the ISIS.

Speaking to mediapersons in Kolkata, Adhikari, the BJP MLA from Nandigram, said, “Fundamentalists ransacked houses and assaulted lawyers defending monk Chinmoy Krishna Das. They are worse than the Taliban and ISIS. Look how Ramen Das (Chinmoy Das’ lawyer) was assaulted and he is fighting for his life in ICU (intensive care unit). On the other hand, the police have slapped cases against Hindu lawyers who defended him in court.”

“None of the 51 lawyers who defended him in court (on November 26) could appear in court today. I appeal to all international human rights organisations to intervene in Bangladesh. The situation is only getting worse. There are no human rights for minorities and even lawyers in Bangladesh. I appeal to the ISKCON for a strong reaction internationally,” he added.

Earlier in the day, monk Chinmoy Krishna Das’ bail hearing, which was scheduled to be held on Tuesday at a court in Bangladesh’s Chattogram, was postponed to January 2 as there was no lawyer to represent him, it is learnt.

ISKCON claimed that the condition of Ramen Roy continues to be critical. According to the organisation, the lawyer was beaten up at his residence in Chattogram on Monday night.

ED raids eight private medical colleges over ‘NRI quota irregularities’

The nationwide investigation centres around allegations of admitting ineligible students through the NRI quota in exchange for bribes.

As part of its nationwide crackdown, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided eight private medical colleges in West Bengal over alleged irregularities in allocation of NRI quota seats.

The central agency initiated simultaneous searches at these institutions and the residences of their owners on Tuesday morning. One of the primary targets of the investigation is the house of former Tamluk MP Lakshman Seth in Haldia. The ED is scrutinising his medical and dental college, which is run by his voluntary organisation.

The ED’s probe is focused on allegations of corruption related to the NRI quota in medical admissions. Apart from West Bengal, the agency is conducting searches in 28 private medical colleges across India. In this state, the raids are being carried out in Birbhum, West Burdwan, and Kolkata.

The investigation centres around allegations of admitting ineligible students through the NRI quota in exchange for bribes while denying admission to eligible candidates. One of the medical colleges under scrutiny in Birbhum is owned by Malay Peet, who is accused in cow smuggling and recruitment corruption cases allegedly linked to TMC leader Anubrata Mandal.

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee reviews Jal Jeevan Mission, vows action ‘if people face any problem’

The West Bengal government will take strict action against those not properly implementing the Jal Jeevan Mission, Chief Minister on Monday said.

During a review meeting, the CM expressed her displeasure over the progress of the project. “I will not tolerate if people face any problem. If someone compromises on this, they will lose their job.” She ordered a weekly review meeting on the project.

A report was submitted to the CM by the Public Health Engineering (PHE) Department on the delivery of drinking water pipelines.

After looking into the report, Banerjee said that “many people are cutting pipelines to use them for personal purposes. As a result, water does not reach households. It is criminal. I will not spare anyone. In many cases even as the pipelines reach villages, there is no water since the contractors hastily installed them without conducting a survey. In some cases, wrong tenders are floated, in others the wrong DPRs are prepared.”

At EIMG vintage car rally, Kolkata’s stunning automotive past comes to life.

Kolkata, the City of Joy, turned into a time machine as a spectacular fourth annual EIMG Vintage Car Fiesta presented by Club De Golf took place on Sunday.

The event, a nostalgic journey through automotive history, captivated the city’s residents and visitors alike. Starting from the iconic Town Hall, a procession of vintage cars, each a masterpiece of engineering and design, snaked its way through the bustling roads of Kolkata. As the convoy cruised past landmarks like the AJC Bose Flyover and the Maa Flyover, it drew curious glances and excited cheers from onlookers.

Many onlookers took their phones to capture the moment, while others followed the convoy on bikes and cars.

Among the vehicles which participated were a rare 1934 SS1 Tourer, and a 1938 Rolls-Royce 25/30 limousine, both owned by Kanoria, a 1948 Bentley Mark 6 owned by Azam Monem, a 1938 Rolls-Royce 25/30 owned by Tamalika Naha, a 1913 Stoewer of Ananda Choudhury, a 1948 Plymouth Special Deluxe of SK Lahiri, a 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster owned by Saikat Dutta, and 1963 Standard Herald owned by Shubhajit Kumar.

At Club De Gold, a thanksgiving ceremony was performed to felicitate the car owners followed by a vintage motor quiz .

SK Lahiri, the owner of Plymouth which orginally belonged to famous singer Hemant Kumar, said, “In our community, my car is addressed as Nilu. It runs with all original parts.”
