#YogiAdityanath’s biggest challenger is not #AkhileshYadav.
His real competitors are the chief ministers of other BJP-run states.
Assam, Tripura, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka are four such examples, writes #PriyaRamani in #BQOpinion.

Politicians who run these states were seemingly never automatic fundamentalists, points out #PriyaRamani.

Prof. (Dr.) Anil G Variath, I/C Registrar of MNLU, Mumbai gives the welcome address.
Please read the thread by @AudreyTruschke, and this one by me. The verdict that convicted Mahmood Farooqui of rape was a landmark one like the #PriyaRamani one of yesterday. The Feeble No verdict that overturned it is an affront to our legal system.
I had in mind the Farooqui case when I wrote yesterday about "campaigns (across political aisles) claiming that the amendments to India’s sexual violence laws in 2013 are “draconian” when applied to privileged men." indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
Remember, men's reputations survive even rape convictions. They survive even when the man has argued in trial court that he did not touch the woman, to turn around & be acquitted in the HC on the basis that he assumed she consented since her No was too feeble.
Important part of the #PriyaRamani judgment: the Court affirms that an honest error of fact will not lead to liability for defamation, as long as reasonable efforts were made to ensure veracity (in the context of Akbar's resignation as Minister).
Other important findings:
- the length of time between the incident of sexual harassment and making it public is irrelevant (pg. 90)
- the absence or failure of institutional mechanisms means that survivors are entitled to use other media to speak up. (pg. 90)
- the length of time between the incident of sexual harassment and making it public is irrelevant (pg. 90)
- the absence or failure of institutional mechanisms means that survivors are entitled to use other media to speak up. (pg. 90)
- speaking up on public platforms is a form of self-defence (pg. 90)
- sexual harassment undermines both dignity (Article 21) and equality (Articles 14 and 15) because of its gendered nature; these rights override the right to reputation (pg 90)
