This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain. Today is the 12th of March and here are the headlines. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mauritius PM Navin Chandra Ramgoolam announced an "enhanced strategic partnership" between their countries on Wednesday. India also pledged new projects worth 500 million Mauritian rupees (around Rs 100 crore), including building Mauritius' new Parliament building. Both nations agreed to conduct mutual trade in local currencies. Modi also outlined a vision for the Global South under the MAHASAGAR initiative, which focuses on mutual growth and security across regions, strengthening India-Mauritius ties in both trade and diplomacy. Opposition parties, including Congress and DMK, staged a protest in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday against a renewable energy project near the India-Pakistan border. Manish Tewari (Congress) raised concerns about national and energy security, arguing the project's proximity to the border violates security protocols. According to Tewari, major infrastructure should be at least 10 km away from the border. Meanwhile, the Immigration and Foreigners Bill 2025 was introduced, aimed at modernizing India's immigration laws. Opposition parties called it unconstitutional and demanded its referral to a Joint Parliamentary Committee. Jio Platforms announced a deal with Elon Musk's SpaceX on Wednesday to bring Starlink's internet services to India. The partnership follows a similar announcement by Bharti Airtel and is contingent on SpaceX securing approval to operate in the country. Jio and SpaceX, historically at odds over satellite spectrum allocation, will move forward after the government opted for an administrative allocation. SpaceX has applied for security clearance with the Indian government, which is currently under review by the Home Ministry. Ukraine has proposed a 30-day ceasefire in its war with Russia, contingent on Moscow's agreement. The announcement came after high-level talks in Saudi Arabia, where the United States declared it would lift its freeze on military aid to Ukraine. This marks a significant shift in efforts to pause the devastating conflict, which began in 2022 with Russia's full-scale invasion. According to a joint statement from the White House and Kyiv, the temporary ceasefire could be extended if both sides agree to further terms. On Tuesday, separatist militants attacked the Jaffar Express, a passenger train in Pakistan's Balochistan province, carrying 500 people. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility, stating they derailed the train, killed 30 security personnel, and took 214 passengers, including military personnel, hostage. According to Radio Pakistan, 27 militants were killed, and 155 passengers were rescued. The BLA issued a 48-hour ultimatum, demanding the release of Baloch political prisoners, threatening to execute the hostages if their demands are not met. This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.

On the 17th of January, the producer and director of locally-made film Mentega Terbang, Tan Meng Kheng and Khairi Anwar Jailani, were charged under Section 298 of the Penal Code for ‘hurting religious feelings', a blasphemy provision. The charge carries a punishment of up to one year imprisonment or a fine or both. Mentega Terbang was banned by the Home Ministry back in September 2023 and taken down from the streaming platform Viu in March 2023, and the filmmakers have faced both online and offline threats since a social media campaign was launched against the film, and those involved in it. This latest move has several human rights groups, including the Freedom Film Network (FFF), urging the government to drop the criminal charges against the director and producer, and protect artists and artistic expression in Malaysia. We discuss this and more with the Freedom Film Network's co-founders, Brenda Danker and Anna Har.

The Home Ministry hopes to table the Drug & Substance Abuse (Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation) Act in Parliament next year. The aim is to enable first-time or minor drug offenders to be rehabilitated, instead of being sent straight to prison as per the current practice.

Recently, 18 civil society organisations have come together to launch a campaign urging the Home Ministry to hold off – in their words – “regressive” alterations to the nation's citizenship laws that would perpetuate statelessness among children. However, the coalition also advocates for “progressive” revisions that would grant automatic Malaysian citizenship to children born overseas to Malaysian mothers. This campaign is called the #100. In this episode, we speak to the activists behind this campaign to discuss how Malaysians can fight back against these amendments.

Earlier this year, the Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution announced that children should no longer be detained in immigration detention centres, pledging to place them instead under the care of NGOs that specialise in the welfare of children. Then in August the Home Ministry announced 23 children and 10 of their parents or guardians have been relocated from existing immigration detention centres to what the government has termed as a “children friendly” detention centre, called Baitul Mahabbah. Does this move signify the Malaysian government will finally put an end to child immigration detention in Malaysia? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Hannah Jambunathan, Asia Pacific Programme Officer with the International Detention Coalition, and human rights advocate Mahi Ramakrishnan.

Based on April 2023 figures from the Home Ministry,  a total of 1,030 children, 43% of whom are girls, are currently being held in 19 immigration detention centres across Malaysia. Two-thirds of these are unaccompanied and separated children. There are alternatives to detention that ensures proper administration of migration in kinder, more successful, and less expensive ways that do not include arrest or imprisonment. We call this Alternatives to Detention, or ATD. But if that's so promising, why hasn't there been any concrete action? In this episode, Hannah Jambunathan (International Detention Coalition) and Joshua Low (New Naratif) will talk about children in Malaysia's immigration detention centres, what the deal is with the holdup in the Malaysian government, and what researchers and non-researchers can do to help advocacy moving forward.

More than 160,000 people took their own lives in 2021 in India, an alarming increase of 7 percent on the previous year, according to a report released by the Home Ministry. Suicides were highest among students, self-employed people, daily wage earners and housewives. Experts say multiple lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic made the situation worse. For daily labourers, lockdowns led to a sudden loss of livelihood, pushing thousands of them to end their lives, which accounted for almost one quarter of the total suicides in 2021. As for students, they face multiple risk factors, from parental pressure to excel to failing exams or financial stress. Our correspondents report.

पॉपुलर फ़्रंट ऑफ़ इंडिया, PFI, एक ऐसा भारतीय संगठन, जिसको भारत सरकार ने UAPA के तहत ग़ैरक़ानूनी संगठन घोषित कर बैन कर दिया है। PFI पर आतंकवादी गतिविधियों में शामिल होने के आरोप हैं, हिंसा भड़काने के आरोप हैं। बीते कुछ दिनों में PFI के दफ़्तरों पर NIA और ED ने छापेमारी की है और कुल 250 से अधिक सदस्यों को गिरफ़्तार किया है। PFI क्या है, उसका क्या इतिहास है, हिंसा से जुड़ी घटनाओं में उसका नाम इतना क्यों लिया जाता है। ABP LIVE PODCAST के इस एपिसोड में और बात करेंगे UAPA की भी, उसकी क्या भूमिका है। नमस्कार, मेरा नाम है मंगलम् भारत और आप सुन रहे हैं FYI यानि कि FOR YOUR INFORMATION. गृह मंत्रालय की ओर से 28 सितम्बर 2022 बुधवार को एक नोटिस जारी किया गया, जिसमें हवाला दिया गया था अनलॉफ़ुल एक्टिविटीज़ प्रिवेंशन एक्ट 1967 (UAPA) का और इसके तहत पीएफ़आई और उससे जुड़े 8 संगठनों को अगले 5 सालों के लिए अवैध घोषित कर दिया गया है। नोटिस में लिखा था कि इनकी ज़मीन को सील कर दिया जाए और बिना डीएम की परमिशन के कोई भी गतिविधि नहीं हो सकती। उत्तर प्रदेश, महाराष्ट्र और कर्नाटक सरकार की ओर से पहले ही इस संगठन को बैन करने की माँग उठती आई है। ये बैन तब लगाया गया है, जब बीते 22 सितम्बर को NIA और ED ने PFI के दफ़्तरों पर छापेमारी की। उसके 109 लोगों को गिरफ़्तार किया गया है। गृह मंत्रालय ने कहा है कि PFI और उससे जुड़े संगठन ख़ुद को खुले में तो सामाजिक, आर्थिक, शैक्षिक और राजनीतिक संगठन के रूप में काम करते हैं, लेकिन पीठ पीछे ये लोकतंत्र को ख़त्म करने के कामों में लिप्त हैं, समाज के एक वर्ग को कट्टरपंथी बनाने के एजेंडे पर काम कर रहे हैं और देश की संवैधानिक व्यवस्था को ख़त्म करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। PFI ख़ुद कर्नाटक के हिजाब मामले में बहुत एक्टिव रहा है, इसके बाद सिटिज़नशिप अमेंडमेंट एक्ट हो या फिर हाथरस रेप का जो मामला था, उसमें माहौल बिगाड़ने में सक्रिय था। PFI के सदस्य देश के एकता, अखंडता और संप्रभुता को नुकसान पहुँचा रहे हैं। PFI पर इस तरह के बैन का क्या मतलब है? आतंकवाद को लेकर UN में कई सारे रिजॉल्यूशन पास किए गए हैं और हमारे मोदी जी तो आतंकवादी गतिविधियों को निपटाने के पूरे मूड में रहते ही हैं। इससे इस संगठन की पूरी ज़मीन ज़ब्त कर ली जाएगी। आतंकवादी संगठन घोषित करने और उसे बैन करने पर ये संगठन आर्थिक लेन-देन नहीं कर पाएँगे। UAPA की धाराएँ इतनी सख्त हैं कि एक बार किसी पर लग जाएँ तो बच पाने की संभावनाएँ बहुत ज़्यादा नहीं बचती हैं। इस समय देश में कुल 42 संगठन ऐसे हैं, जिनको आतंकवादी गतिविधि में लिप्त होने के कारण इस लिस्ट में रखा गया है, जिसमें लिट्टे, बब्बर खालसा इंटरनेशनल, इंडियन मुजाहिदीन, कॉम्युनिस्ट पार्टी ऑफ़ इंडिया (माओवादी), हिज़बुल मुजाहिदीन, लश्कर ए तैयबा, ISIS जैसे संगठन आते हैं। अब बात कर लेते हैं UAPA की। UAPA में किस प्रकार की धाराएँ हैं और उसकी क्या छवि है? UAPA पर हमेशा से आरोप लगते आ रहे हैं कि इस क़ानून का इस्तेमाल सरकारें अपने फ़ायदे के करती हैं। वो संगठन जो सरकारों को नापसंद हैं, उनको ख़त्म करने के लिए या उनके काम में बाधा डालने के लिए इनका इस्तेमाल किया जाता है। केंद्र सरकार द्वारा साझा किए गए आंकड़ों के अनुसार, 2016 से 2020 की अवधि में अधिनियम के तहत 5,027 मामले दर्ज किए गए, जिनमें 24,134 लोगों को आरोपी बनाया गया। 24,134 लोगों में से केवल 212 को ही दोषी ठहराया गया और 386 को बरी कर दिया गया। इसका मतलब है, 2016-2020 के वर्षों में, यूएपीए के तहत गिरफ्तार किए गए लोगों में से 97.5% लोग मुकदमे की प्रतीक्षा में जेल में हैं। 25 जुलाई 2021 को, सुप्रीम कोर्ट के पूर्व न्यायाधीश, न्यायमूर्ति आफताब आलम ने "Discussion On Democracy, Dissent and Draconian Law – Should UAPA & Sedition Have A Place In Our Statute Books?" शीर्षक से एक वेबिनार पर बात की। चर्चा में, उन्होंने यूएपीए को एक "कठोर कानून" कहा और कहा कि यह यूएपीए था जिसने बिना मुकदमे के फादर स्टेन स्वामी की मृत्यु का कारण बना। स्टेन स्वामी एक कार्यकर्ता थे जिन पर 2018 भीमा कोरेगांव हिंसा में उनकी कथित भूमिका और भारतीय कम्युनिस्ट पार्टी (माओवादी) से संबंध रखने के लिए UAPA का आरोप लगाया गया था और बाद में COVID-19 के कारण जेल में उनकी मृत्यु हो गई। आलम ने आगे कहा कि यूएपीए की वास्तविक सजा दर 2% है। उन्होंने आगे कहा कि यह कानून उन स्थितियों को जन्म दे सकता है जहां मामला विफल हो सकता है लेकिन आरोपी को 8 से 12 साल की कैद हो सकती है। उन्होंने कहा कि ऐसे मामलों में, मामले में खड़े होने के लिए कोई पैर नहीं हो सकता है लेकिन आरोपी को भुगतना पड़ा है और उन्होंने निष्कर्ष निकाला कि ऐसे मामलों में प्रक्रिया सजा बन जाती है। तो जो UAPA का क़ानून है, वो ख़ुद भी सवालों के घेरे में है। ख़ैर... अब सवाल उठता है कि PFI के पास क्या बचा है ख़ुद को बचाने के लिए?  क्योंकि सरकार ने तो अपनी कार्रवाई कर दी। एक संस्था के तौर पर PFI ख़ुद, या कोई ऐसा सदस्य जिसको PFI के इस बैन का नुकसान झेलना पड़ रहा हो, केन्द्र सरकार को एक एप्लिकेशन भेज सकता है। इसके बाद एक रीव्यू कमेटी बैठती है जिसे हाई कोर्ट के कोई पूर्व जज अध्यक्षता करते हैं। अगर कोर्ट को लगता है कि संस्था या व्यक्ति पर जो आरोप लगाए गए हैं वो पूरी तरह से बेबुनियाद हैं, तो रीव्यू कमेटी उस संस्था या व्यक्ति को इससे बरी कर सकती है।

The Central government reasserted last week that its policy on the Rohingya refugees in India, who it calls “illegal foreigners”, will not change. It did so while denying a tweet by Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri which said the government will move the Rohingya refugees living in Delhi to flats meant for economically weaker sections. Denying this, the Home Ministry said the government would continue efforts for their “deportation” to Myanmar, from where more than a million Rohingya have fled in the past decade after targeted attacks by the Myanmar military that the United Nations has termed a “genocide”. This week marks five years since the last big migration of the Rohingya, who have sought shelter in a number of countries around the world.  Here we discuss India's policy on the Rohingya and the need for a refugee law. Guests: Meenakshi Ganguly, Human Rights Watch's South Asia Director; Vivek Katju, a former diplomat, and has served as India's envoy to Myanmar Host: Suhasini Haidar

According to the ‘Tek Fog' expose by the news portal The Wire, the BJP has access to a secret app called ‘Tek Fog' that can hijack social media, automate hate, and targets thousands of accounts with just a click. The report, when it came out, created a sensation. While A TMC MP has said Tek Fog “has serious ramifications and could jeopardise national security,” a parliamentary panel headed by a Congress leader has sought a response from the Home Ministry. So, what exactly is Tek Fog? How does automated trolling work, and is it really scalable? What does the Tek Fog expose mean in the context of investigative journalism that straddles the domains of technology, privacy, free speech and politics? We explore these questions in this episode.

The Indian markets are likely to open on a flat note today although the session may turn volatile due to the expiry of derivative contracts of July series and quarterly results announcement by heavyweights Reliance Industries and HDFC. But let's begin with the global cues. US stocks closed higher overnight after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates at ultra-low levels and repeated a pledge to use its “full range of tools” to support the economy. Although, the Fed cautioned, that the outlook “will depend significantly on the course of the virus.” The Dow Jones rose 0.6 per cent, the S&P 500 gained 1.2 per cent, and the Nasdaq added 1.35 per cent. Asian stocks tracked the upbeat Wall Street session. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.28 per cent. Australian ASX 200 was up 0.6 per cent and Japan's Nikkei gained 0.2 per cent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rose 0.4 per cent. The quarterly results announcement by Reliance Industries and HDFC will be the major market mover today. Analysts expect a dent in RIL's retail and energy verticals in the June quarter, because of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, higher earnings in the telecom business may partly cushion the hit. For HDFC, analysts are expecting tepid loan disbursal, elevated provisioning, and contraction in net interest margin as credit demand remained weak amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Besides these two results, 401 other companies are also scheduled to announce their quarterly numbers today.  Investors will also react to some major results announced after market hours yesterday. Bharti Airtel reported widening of losses to Rs 15,933 crore for the June quarter as the telco made a massive AGR-related provision of Rs 10,744 crore. The firm, however, posted a 15.4 per cent rise in consolidated revenues to Rs 23,939 crore. Moreover, IndiGo yesterday posted its largest ever quarterly loss of Rs 2,844.3 crore for Q1 while revenue from operations plunged 91.9 per cent YoY to Rs 766.7 crore. Meanwhile, IndiGo said its board will meet today to discuss raising at least Rs 2,000 crore through the sale and leaseback of planes and other assets. Apart from that, market participants will also track Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting today with the chiefs of all financial sector regulators including RBI and Sebi. The meeting is likely to focus on economic revival, particularly the steps taken in the field of MSMEs. On the Covid-19 front, India recorded 49,632 cases in the past 24 hours, taking its total number of Covid-19-positive cases to 15.84 lakh. The Home Ministry yesterday issued 'Unlock 3' guidelines removing restrictions on the movement of individuals during the night, while schools, metro and cinema halls will continue to remain closed. And, in the end, a quick look at some other top news. The Sebi has extended the deadline meant for listed companies to disclose their June 2020 quarter financial results by a month to September 15. Punjab National Bank yesterday said it has raised Rs 994 crore by issuing Basel III compliant bonds on private placement basis. Sources have told Business Standard that ICICI Lombard General Insurance has initiated talks to acquire Bharti AXA General Insurance in all stock transaction. Read by Kanishka Gupta

In wake of violence in Delhi, Delhi High Court told Delhi police that there should be no delay in lodging FIRs over alleged hate speeches. Congress party interim president Sonia Gandhi said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah must resign. At press conference in Delhi, Gandhi said that the riots were a “well-planned conspiracy.” The Congress also questioned the manner in which the riots were handled. The Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has called for the intervention of the army to control the situation in Delhi. Yesterday, Kejriwal had called for sealing the city's border in areas that witnessed violence over the amended citizenship act to prevent “outsiders” from entering the national capital and creating a commotion. So far 20 people have died and hundreds have been injured in the violence that broke out in the city. The clashes between pro and anti CAA group have now taken the shape of full-fledged riots. After several journalists were attacked during the riots in Delhi, the Editors Guild of India has issued a statement asking the Home Ministry to investigate such incidents and punish the guilty. “The Guild notes that journalists being attacked is tantamount to a direct assault on press freedom and those guilty of having indulged in such violence must be brought to book” according to the statement. Amid coronavirus threat, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India has issued a travel advisory for Indian citizens. “Indians are advised to refrain from non-essential travel to Republic of Korea, Iran and Italy.

“We cannot let another 1984 happen in this country; Not under the watch of this Court”, the Delhi High Court said on the violence that has gripped Delhi. The situation in the capital has come to such a point that the Supreme Court and High Court had to urge the police to take matters under their control.At least 20 people have died in violence that has been raging in the capital since 23 February, Sunday. The areas in Northeast Delhi are still tense from the looting, and arson that followed after the clashes between pro and anti CAA protesters.What began as a clash between pro and anti CAA protesters in Maujpur, Babarpur and other areas of Northeast Delhi didn't take too long to turn into a case of communal violence. Without enough security forces to subdue the violence, it grew bigger and and bigger until mobs carried out a rampage in these areas targeting specific houses, of specific communities and also burning down a mosque. The Home Ministry has been downplaying the level of violence in Northeast Delhi in the past couple of days and falsely assuring that everything was under control.If everything is under control, then how did the death toll rise? Who were the people who set houses, shops and cars on fire? How is Delhi witnessing one of the worst cases of violence in decades? There are a lot of questions but not enough answers from the concerned authorities. Tune in to The Big Story!

The world's "best constitution" doesn't give equal citizenship rights to Nepali women cos some citizens are more equal than others, haina bro? A lot happened after we recorded this episode, all of which we couldn't include. So here's a mini explainer: - Amid uncertainty surrounding the amendment to the Citizenship Act, the Home Ministry on April 2 issued a circular to all 77 chief district officers across the country, telling them to grant citizenship by descent to those individuals whose parents are citizens by birth. - And then some smart ass uncle filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court to not implement the ministry’s decision on citizenship, leading to an interim order to the government to stop the implementation. - A few days later, the Supreme Court paved the way for individuals, whose parents are Nepali citizens by birth, to acquire citizenship by descent. (Boohoo, uncle!) - For now, hundreds of people without citizenships are able to apply for papers. But the issue of citizenship through mothers remains and we will have to wait and see what our lawmakers do about amending these laws.
