The Gender Studies Cell at St. Stephen’s College issues a defamatory statement
Supreme Court advocate J Sai Deepak verified on Twitter that the Gender Studies Cell of Delhi’s St. Stephen’s College has vehemently rejected’ his invitation to lecture on his new book, India that is Bharat — Coloniality, Civilization, and Constitution, given by the college’s leadership cell.
In a Tweet thread, Supreme Court attorney J Sai Deepak revealed images of a deplorable article published by students of St. Stephen’s College’s Gender Studies cell against him, while protesting an invitation offered to him by another college department.
“Free speech,” he said on Twitter. A wide range of viewpoints. Toleration. Inclusion. St. Stephen’s College’s Gender Studies cell. While uploading screenshots of the post posted by students of St. Stephen’s College’s Gender Studies cell, I sang “Vande Mataram.”
While opposing the invitation, students from St. Stephen’s College’s Gender Studies cell used derogatory names for the senior SC barrister, such as “bigoted,” “sexist,” “casteist,” and “misogynistic.” Students in the Gender Studies cell department went on to label J Sai Deepak as Islamophobic for his public statements on the recent Burqa row, which erupted into a major controversy due to the left-liberal intelligentsia’s ongoing efforts to instil fear psychosis in the minds of Muslims by painting a dystopian picture of the current state of affairs and portraying the centre as working against Muslims.
Rather than holding recalcitrant Muslim girls who insist on wearing burqas to colleges and schools in violation of established rules and regulations, liberals have blamed college authorities and administration for the current crisis, alleging that Muslim girls are being denied entry to institutions is part of a sinister government plan to target Muslims.
Furthermore, several students at St Stephen’s College “condemned the invitation, urged for a cancellation of his presentation, and a boycott if the event is still held” because of J Sai Deepak’s public stances on the Sabarimala judgement, Citizenship Amendment Act, and Article 370.
A Supreme Court counsel named J Sai Deepak is a prominent figure in Indian politics. Indeed, because of Mr J Sai Deepak’s public statements on the Citizenship Amendment Act, Article 370, and illegal migration, Jamia Millia Islamia cancelled J Sai Deepak’s lecture on ‘Minority Rights’ in 2020. Jamia Millia Islamia was at the core of the anti-CAA rallies that became violent in November, with Islamists joining in and engaging in unrestrained stone-pelting, burning, and destruction. The ‘protests,’ however, were initiated in the guise of safeguarding constitutional values.
Police register FIR and launch search for accused after late-night incident.
The Case
A woman travelling home after attending a party in Chembur has alleged that her cab driver tried to molest her after stopping the vehicle at an isolated location in Navi Mumbai during the early hours of September 6.
According to her complaint, the incident took place around 1:30 am. The driver reportedly stopped the cab on the roadside, saying he wanted to drink water. After getting back into the vehicle, he allegedly moved to the back seat, held the woman’s hand and tried to remove her clothes despite her resistance.
The woman strongly protested, following which the driver allegedly fled from the spot. She then contacted her family and approached the police to report what had happened. Police identified the accused as Mohammed Afzal Sheikh and registered an FIR based on the woman’s complaint. Multiple police teams have reportedly been formed to trace and arrest him.
Investigators are using technical information and other leads to locate the accused. Police have said the complaint is being taken seriously and that appropriate legal action will follow. The incident has once again raised concerns about the safety of passengers travelling alone in cabs during late-night hours. Police are continuing their investigation into the case.
Thousands of devotees join colourful processions as towering idols arrive in Navi Mumbai.
The Grand Ganesh Celebration
With Ganesh Chaturthi just around the corner, the festive spirit has already taken over Navi Mumbai. Vashi and CBD Belapur witnessed enthusiastic celebrations as devotees gathered to welcome two towering Ganesh idols.
In Vashi Sector 17, the 12-foot idol of Navsala Pavnara Maharaja arrived on September 4 amid the beats of dhol-tasha and chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya.” Nearly 3,000 devotees took part in the welcome procession. The idol, depicting Lord Ganesha seated on an elephant, will be installed in a grand replica of a royal palace. The mandal is celebrating its 43rd year.
Meanwhile, CBD Belapur Sector 2 welcomed the CBD Cha Raja, a 12.5-foot idol prepared by renowned sculptor Bhendkar from Chembur. A large number of devotees gathered to seek Bappa’s blessings during the arrival ceremony.
The mandal, now entering its 44th year, is creating a replica of the famous Banke Bihari Temple in Mathura as this year’s main attraction.
Beyond the grandeur, the celebrations also reflect Navi Mumbai’s spirit of unity. People from different communities come together to participate in aarti, puja and havan at the mandal. As the city prepares for Ganesh Chaturthi, these celebrations have brought communities together and set the mood for a festival filled with devotion, tradition and togetherness.
Traditional performances, a vibrant procession and an eco-friendly idol mark the beginning of Ganeshotsav in Vashi.
The Grand Celebration
The festive spirit of Ganeshotsav came alive in Vashi as the Ganraj Vashi Cha Raja Public Ganeshotsav Mandal, Sector 16A, began its 43rd year with a grand idol arrival ceremony.
The procession started from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk and made its way to the main pandal amid the energetic beats of dhol-tasha. Thousands of devotees joined the celebrations, turning the streets into a sea of devotion and excitement.
Traditional performances added to the charm of the procession. Mardani Khel demonstrations, a colourful Lezim performance and the presence of a Govinda troupe drew loud cheers from the crowd. The Govindas formed a human pyramid and offered a special salute to Ganraj Vashi Cha Raja.
The event was attended by BJP corporator Anjali Valunj, mandal president and social worker Vijay Valunj, social worker Ajay Valunj, along with mandal office-bearers, volunteers and devotees. This year, the mandal has also focused on protecting the environment. The Ganesha idol, depicting Lord Ganesha seated on an elephant, has been made from paper as part of its eco-friendly initiative.
The organisers said the mandal has been preserving culture and tradition for 43 years and was among the first in Navi Mumbai to organise an idol arrival ceremony. They also invited devotees from across Navi Mumbai and Maharashtra to visit the mandal and seek Bappa’s blessings.
