Shiromani Akali Dal MP from Bathinda, Harsimrat Kaur Badal, has sharply criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) following its victory in the Haryana assembly elections, alleging that the ruling party used “every possible tactic” to secure power.

Without directly naming the Dera Sacha Sauda chief, Badal suggested that individuals convicted of serious crimes had been granted parole and mobilized for political gain. “Those serving ten-year sentences for murder were given parole and used for votes,” she said.

Commenting on the poor performance of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Haryana, Badal said that voters across Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and other states had rejected the party’s politics. She added that people “deserve congratulations” for seeing through its claims and predicted that AAP would also face setbacks in Punjab in the future.

Badal’s remarks come a day after the BJP secured 48 out of 90 assembly seats in Haryana, forming the government for the third consecutive term.

Alberta students walk out, gather at legislature over teachers’ back-to-work bill

Students across Alberta left their classrooms on Thursday to rally at the provincial legislature, protesting the government’s decision to force striking teachers back to work. Many wore red clothing and carried homemade signs to show solidarity with educators. The walkouts, coordinated through social media, spread to several schools as students voiced frustration with what they described as an attack on teachers’ rights.

Surrey Renames Park After Community Raises Concerns Over Historical Injustices

The City of Surrey has renamed a neighbourhood park following concerns from residents of Japanese descent about its historical namesake. Senator Reid Park, located in the city’s north end, will now be known as North Ridge Park. The change follows a review prompted by community feedback highlighting Senator Thomas Reid’s role in supporting discriminatory policies against Japanese Canadians before, during and after the Second World War. City officials said the park, originally named in the 1990s, no longer reflects Surrey’s values of inclusivity and respect. Laurie Cavan, general manager o

B.C. seeks court stay in Cowichan Tribes Aboriginal title case amid concerns from Richmond residents

Premier David Eby says the British Columbia government will ask the courts to delay implementation of a ruling that recognized Aboriginal title for the Cowichan Tribes over land in Richmond. The province is requesting a stay while the B.C. Court of Appeal reviews the landmark decision, which has raised questions about its impact on private land ownership. In August, the B.C. Supreme Court declared that the Cowichan Tribes hold Aboriginal title to about 750 acres along the Fraser River. The court found that Crown grants of private titles on that land were an unjustified infringement of Cowichan
