WHILE CONGRESS'S FOCUS IS ON THE BIHAR POLL RESULTS, TMC'S FOCUS WILL BE ON THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ELECTION COMMISSION

- Saubhadra Chatterji

The Opposition is set to target the Election Commission of India (ECI) over the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and "vote chori" (vote theft) in the upcoming winter session of Parliament, but the parties might do so in their individual ways, people familiar with the matter said.

The winter session of Parliament is scheduled from December 1 to 19, and the Union government has called an all-party meeting on November 30 to discuss the key issues.

According to the people, the Congress's focus is likely to be on the Bihar election results and its campaign for 50 million signatures against vote theft, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) would discuss the issues raised by West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee in her letter to poll body chief Gyanesh Kumar, and the DMK is set to highlight the Tamil Nadu government's challenge to the SIR in the Supreme Court.

Calling failed relationship rape trivialises offence: SC

The Supreme Court on Monday cautioned that branding every failed or acrimonious relationship as rape trivialises the gravity of the crime and inflicts “indelible stigma and grave injustice” upon the accused. Condemning the “misuse of the criminal justice machinery” in such instances, the court stressed that the law must be invoked only where genuine sexual violence or lack of free consent is evident.
