Quick Glance: Arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Raises Concern Ahead of Indian Elections
- When Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested in March for an alleged liquor scam by the Enforcement Directorate, it marked the latest incident in a long list of legal offensives against opposition leaders ahead of the Indian general elections.
- Surveys indicate the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ahead, but concerns over unemployment and inflation could boost the opposition.
- Opposition parties in India, critical of Modi, see recent developments as a government attempt to use central agencies to pressure political opponents.
- Kejriwal's arrest could pave the way in Delhi for President's Rule, leading to the dissolution of the AAP-led government with the BJP taking control of the state.

Quick Glance: Pope Washes Feet of 12 Women at Rome Prison
- Pope Francis washed and kissed the feet of 12 female inmates at a Rome prison during a Holy Thursday ritual to emphasize his calling of service and humility.
- He revolutionized the foot-washing ritual for the Vatican by insisting, since his first Holy Thursday as pope in 2013, on having women and people of other faiths among the 12 participants.
- Francis appeared in good shape at the prison, even after presiding over a long Mass earlier in the day in St. Peter’s Basilica. He was also energized by his visit to the Rebibbia prison, where he was given a basket of vegetables grown in the prison garden as well as two liturgical stoles.
- Despite the conclusion of Holy Thursday events, Francis has a lot to do in the upcoming days that will test his stamina, including the nighttime Way of the Cross procession at the Colosseum on Friday.

Quick Glance: Oregon Governor Signs Law Recriminalizing Drug Possession
- Oregon's Democratic Governor, Tina Kotek, signed a law that recriminalizes the possession of small amounts of drugs, putting an end to an initial experiment with decriminalization.
- The new law makes personal drug possession a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and encourages treatment options as an alternative to criminal penalties.
- According to Kotek, the success of the law relies on close coordination between courts, police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and local mental health providers to achieve the intended goals.
- The changes will be effective on September 1 after Oregon Democrats shifted their stance on decriminalization due to pressures from the fentanyl crisis and implementation issues.
