Politics has heated up over the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has criticized the government. He said that capture of all institutions including the media, breaking up of parties, freezing the accounts of the main opposition parties and now arresting the elected chief ministers have also become common.

On the other hand, on the contrary, Punjab Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira tweeted that today proved that when you dig a hole for someone else, you often fall into it yourself. Khaira also made another tweet in which he wrote that it is hoped that Arvind Kejriwal's family will understand the pain of jail today.

Khaira said that the Aam Aadmi Party government framed me in a completely false drug case and he went to jail. It is to be noted that former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh are also in jail in the alleged liquor scam of Delhi.

A new excise policy was brought in Delhi in November 2021 under the leadership of Manish Sisodia. However, in August 2022, the Delhi government rejected this new liquor policy. There are allegations that there was a big scam in the implementation of this policy and under this the liquor business was to come into the hands of private companies.

At the same time, while talking to the journalists, Atishi, the minister of the AAP government in Delhi, says that Kejriwal will remain the chief minister of Delhi and the government will be run from jail.

Delhi Education Minister Atishi Singh targeted PM Modi and said that arrest of Arvind Kejriwal is a political conspiracy of BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi is afraid of any leader, it is Arvind Kejriwal.

B.C.-based Jim Pattison Developments cancels Virginia warehouse sale to ICE

Vancouver-based Jim Pattison Developments has announced it will not proceed with the sale of a Virginia warehouse property to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which had planned to use the site as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing facility. The 43.5-acre property in Hanover County, Virginia, faced public scrutiny after news emerged that it could be converted into a holding and processing centre amid a wider U.S. immigration crackdown. The company, owned by Canadian billionaire Jim Pattison, had previously stated it was unaware of the final purchaser or the intende

Israel to reopen Gaza–Egypt border crossing after nearly two years of closure

Israel says it will reopen Gaza’s Rafah border crossing with Egypt on Sunday, allowing limited movement of people in and out of the territory for the first time in nearly two years. The Israeli military agency COGAT, which oversees civilian coordination with Gaza, said the reopening will permit “limited movement of people only,” with both Israel and Egypt screening those seeking to cross. European Union border assistance personnel will supervise operations at the crossing, Gaza’s primary link to the outside world. The Rafah crossing has been largely closed since May 2024, following ren

Federal Court of Appeal upholds Ottawa’s authority to maintain single-use plastic b

Canada’s Federal Court of Appeal has ruled that the federal government acted within its authority when it classified certain plastic products as toxic, clearing the way for Ottawa to maintain its ban on several single-use plastic items. In a unanimous decision released Friday, a three-judge panel overturned a 2023 lower court ruling that had found the federal government overreached by broadly labeling plastic manufactured items as toxic under environmental legislation. That earlier decision had cast uncertainty over the future of the single-use plastics ban. The appeal court concluded the go

CFIA says threats against staff escalated during B.C. ostrich cull, forcing family relocation

A senior Canadian Food Inspection Agency official says agency employees faced escalating threats and harassment during preparations for the culling of hundreds of ostriches at a British Columbia farm, including incidents serious enough to force the relocation of a worker and their family. In an interview with The Canadian Press, the official said opposition to the cull intensified both online and in person, culminating in what they described as extreme cases of direct threats involving physical violence and sexual assault. One CFIA employee and their partner were relocated along with their chi
