Quick Glance: India's Modi Attacks Pro-Muslim Rivals in Election Shift

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party have begun attacking opposition rivals, claiming they favor minority Muslims, in an effort to energize their hardline base after the start of general elections last week.

Modi referred to Muslims as 'infiltrators' who have 'more children', linking it to an alleged election plan by the main opposition Congress party to redistribute Hindu wealth among Muslims, a claim denied by the Congress.

Modi's government has faced accusations of discrimination against India's 200 million Muslims, but has denied them, emphasizing its work for the welfare of all citizens.

Modi initially focused on development, welfare, and national pride in his campaign, but shifted focus back to core voters after the first phase, addressing issues of joblessness and rural distress.

Quick Glance: Maine Republicans Censured Over Connecting Mass Shooting to God's Wrath on Abortion Law

Two Maine Republican lawmakers faced censure on Thursday for linking the state's deadliest mass shooting to God's anger over a bill expanding abortion access.

Following discussions on a new legislative proposal, Michael Lemelin and Shelley Rudnicki were formally reprimanded by the chamber.

Initial remarks triggered swift bipartisan condemnation in Maine's Democrat-led House of Representatives.

A censure vote by the House resulted in both legislators being barred from speaking or voting until issuing apologies.

Quick Glance: Responsibility for Hitting a House with a Golf Shot

Hitting a house with a golf shot requires a proper response, similar to a traffic accident hit-and-run situation.

While homeowners on golf courses are often seen as self-reliant, both law and etiquette dictate that a golfer is responsible for damages.

Ignoring responsibility after damaging a house can lead to legal consequences, emphasizing the importance of maintaining proper ethical behavior.

Although the homeowner's reaction may vary, it is always crucial to take ownership and handle the situation appropriately.

Quick Glance: MLAs Nitesh Rane, Geeta Jain Booked for 'Hate' Speeches After Mira Road Clashes: Police Update Bombay HC

The Maharashtra government informed the Bombay High Court that FIRs had been filed due to speeches made by MLAs Nitesh Rane and Geeta Jain during and after communal clashes in Mira Road.

Police commissioners decided to initiate criminal investigations against the leaders, resulting in multiple FIRs being registered for incitement to riots and promoting enmity between groups.

Petitioners argued that the politicians' speeches clearly constituted hate speech offenses, pushing for FIR registration under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including defiling places of worship and causing public unrest.

Police registered several complaints related to the violence in Mira Road in January, filing FIRs against the politicians in different areas. The hearing is adjourned to June 19.
