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: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil

A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.

Under Musk's leadership, X has transformed into a sanctuary for the far right and dissemination of misinformation, resulting in an escalation of hate speech on the platform.

Experts caution that Musk is establishing a dangerous precedent by protecting and promoting the far right on his platform, regardless of local regulations or public opinion.

Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.

Quick Glance: EU Threatens to Suspend TikTok Lite App Features

The European Commission has expressed concerns over the 'risks of serious damage for the mental health of users', including minors, regarding the TikTok Lite app.

TikTok Lite allows users in France and Spain to earn points that can be exchanged for vouchers or gift cards by watching and liking videos.

The commission is threatening to take interim measures, including suspending the rewards program in the European Union, if TikTok fails to provide a risk assessment.

The EU has already fined TikTok under the Digital Services Act and could impose further sanctions if the company does not respond to requests or prove safety measures.

Quick Glance: Modi Warns of Black Money and Benefits of Electoral Bond Scheme

Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the significance of the electoral bond scheme as a tool for disclosing donations to political parties.

Modi cautioned that the Supreme Court's abolition of the electoral bonds system had pushed the country towards black money in elections, leading to future regrets.

He pointed out areas for enhancement within the system and defended the objective of making electoral processes more transparent and free from black money.

Modi took on the Opposition, accusing them of spreading falsehoods about electoral bonds, and disclosed information regarding corporate donations made through the system.
