India: Congress leader Jagdish Tytler charged with murder in 1984 anti-Sikh riots case

<p>The administration of India's Haryana state continued its action against "illegal" construction for the third consecutive day in Nuh district where communal violence erupted earlier this week.</p>

<p>Throughout Saturday, the demolition continued with police teams present on-site. So far, 50 to 60 structures deemed "illegal" were demolished. Reports said that people fled the area fearing arrests.</p>

<p>Security remains heightened across Nuh after communal clashes erupted after violent attempts were made to stop a procession by a Hindu group called Vishva Hindu Parishad. The violence&nbsp;has also spread to Gurugram, near New Delhi.</p>

<h2><strong>Violence was pre-planned: Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij</strong></h2>

Haryana violence: Indian authorities demolish 'illegal' shops outside medical college

In Pics | Former Pakistani prime ministers arrested over decades

<p>When a tough-faced Imran Khan faced England's Graham Gooch during the toss of&nbsp;the 1992 Cricket World Cup final match, little did the world know that the man who was to captain his team to win the World Cup title, will also become the nucleus of his country's politics some decades down the line.</p>

<p>But his ouster from power and subsequent troubles with law, especially in the Toshakhana case, have kept him in and out of news, all the while retaining&nbsp;his position in the South Asian nation's internal political calculus.</p>

<p>On Saturday (August 5), a district and sessions court found Imran Khan guilty in the Toshakhana case and handed him a 3-year jail sentence.&nbsp;The court also imposed a fine of 100,000 Pakistani rupees on the former prime minister. The conviction and the verdict bar Khan from politics for five years until he gets relief from a higher court.</p>

<p>Known for his flamboyance during his cricketing days, PTI chief Imran Khan built his political career on his image of an ultra-conservative leader and an outsider. From the cricket field to the political arena, Imran has played his way up the ladder but with starkly diverging outcomes.</p>

<p>Khan has often been touted as a man who may well reshape the political scene in Pakistan but interestingly, he was hardly taken seriously when he began his political innings.</p>

<h2><strong>Rocky</strong><strong> road to </strong><strong>political</strong><strong> arena&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Imran Khan has seen his share of ups and downs in the political arena. He founded the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in 1996. His first spell as a politician was a disaster.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Khan ran from two constituencies in Lahore in the 1997 election and lost both seats to PML-N candidates. &nbsp;</p>

<p>It took him a considerable amount of time to find his footing in the political battleground.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The next decade was even turbulent for him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He was put under house arrest by President Pervez Musharraf in 2007. Khan had vocally opposed Musharraf's decision to impose emergency the same year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He boycotted the 2008 general election, claiming that they were fraudulent and irregular.</p>

<h2><strong>Surging popularity, declining&nbsp;hold on power</strong></h2>

<p>The year 2011 saw a surge in Imran Khan's popularity. His party gained ground after several politicians left their parties to flock to the PTI.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For the 2018 election, Khan had made most of the political vacuum after the departure of Nawaz Sharif.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the Sharifs were convicted in the Panama Papers case, Khan emerged as a frontrunner for prime ministership.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf came to power in July 2018 by claiming 110 of 269 seats in the Pakistan National Assembly, in an election that saw accusations of viter fraud by outgoing Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and opposition People's Party of Punjab.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Khan was ousted from power in April 2022 after losing a no-confidence vote in his leadership. He talked about a ‘threat letter’ from the US and claimed that it was part of a foreign conspiracy to remove him as he was not acceptable for following an independent foreign policy. The US&nbsp;bluntly rejected the allegations.</p>

<p>Since April 2022, Khan has been galvanising his party cadre across Pakistan, preparing for general elections by leading various marches.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>The marriages&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Khan's first marriage to British socialite Jemima Goldsmith in 1995 became global news. They had two sons in their nine years of marriage. The couple separated in 2004 but remained on good terms.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The second marriage was with Reham Khan, a British-Pakistani journalist. The union ended in nine months after much public mudslinging.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since 2018, Khan is married to his spiritual adviser Bushra Maneka.&nbsp;Their wedding photographs had shown Maneka clad in an ultra-conservative veil.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Will Donald Trump return as the US president or will he not?</p>

<p>With indictments, arraignments and numerous criminal cases that have forced him to create a defence legal fund, it's not just the question of whether will Trump return as US president. The subsequential&nbsp;question&nbsp;of concern remains: Can Donald Trump run for the US presidency in the first place? If that's possible, in case of his potential re-election, can he continue to remain the president for a full four-year term?</p>

<p>These questions are concerning for not just the current US President Joe Biden or the mortal Democrats or Republicans or their Political Action Committees. But Trump's potential return to the White House holds significance or consequence — from where you see it — for the entire world.</p>

<p>Donald Trump’s most recent indictment is a historic first for a former or a sitting president. In Trump's case, it's for his purported effort to dispute the results of the 2020 US presidential polls.</p>

<p>The indictment was all the more extraordinary because it came as Trump is running to return to the White House and is being deemed as the frontrunner to win the Republican nomination.</p>

<p>WION&nbsp;take a look at what it means for Donald Trump and his potential bid to be the US President.</p>

<p><strong>Can Donald Trump still run for president?</strong></p>

<p>Yes. Donald Trump can run for&nbsp;president since the US Constitution does not bar those convicted of a crime from running for the presidency. The real question of contention is, if the Republicans end up shading enough states in Red in 2024, can Trump become the president or not?</p>

<p><strong>So Trump can run for White House, may potentially win,&nbsp;and still not hold&nbsp;the office?</strong></p>

<p>Yes. That's the catch. The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution bars any person who has participated in an insurrection from holding elected office. Donald Trump's alleged role in January 6 US Capitol riots can become this exact roadblock that can push him out of the White House even if the Republicans win the majority in 2024 and Trump emerges as the winner.</p>

<p><strong>What is the&nbsp;14th Amendment to the US Constitution concerning disqualification of an elected representative?</strong></p>

<p>Section 3 of the 14th amendment to the US Constitution specifies 'Disqualification from Holding Office'.</p>

<p>It states: "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."</p>

<p>To break it down for you, let's say Trump emerges as the winner in the 2024 US elections, and for his alleged role in Jan 6 "insurrection"&nbsp;a federal judge disqualifies Trump from the presidency. That disqualification will not hold and Trump will remain the president if&nbsp;each House of the US Congress by two-thirds majority votes against such federal disqualification.</p>

<p><strong>Is there any precedent to the use of the 14th amendment?</strong></p>

<p>Yes. In 2022, a judge in New Mexico used the 14th Amendment to remove a county commissioner from his post after the commissioner was found guilty on federal charges related to January 6 riots.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was the first time since the US civil war that an official was removed from their post for engaging in an insurrection.</p>

<p><strong>What is Trump's reaction to indictments and potential disqualification from presidency?</strong></p>

<p>Reacting to the latest indictment, Donald Trump in all-caps wrote on his Truth Social account that he has "never had so much support".&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/bidens-approval-rating-plummets-to-new-low-as-trump-gains-momentum-612215">Biden’s approval rating plummets to new low as Trump gains momentum</a></strong></p>

<p>Referring to the indictment as "unprecedented", Trump said it "has awoken the world to the corruption, scandal, &amp; failure that has taken place in the United States for the past three years".</p>

<p>Thanking his supporters for rallying to his defence, Trump described his indictment as "unprecedented" and vowed to purportedly make America great again.</p>

<p>"America is a nation in decline, but we will make it great again, greater than ever before. I love you all!!!"</p>

<p>He is expected to appear before a judge on Thursday in his first court appearance in the case.</p>

<p><strong>Trump Vs Biden: What does the contest look like?</strong></p>

<p>Donald Trump appears to pose a strong challenge to Joe Biden, with the former US president edging forward to lead the polls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The two are tied in a hypothetical rematch at 43 per cent support for their return to the White House in 2024, according to a July poll from The New York Times and Siena College released on Tuesday, July 31, 2023.</p>

<p>In the poll that asked people who they would vote for between Biden as the Democratic nominee and Trump as the GOP’s, both saw 43 per cent support among the surveyed registered voters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump saw more support from his base than Biden, with 88 per cent of registered Republicans selecting Trump versus 83 per cent of Democrats choosing Biden.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, former US President Barack Obama has reportedly warned Joe Biden about how strong a challenge Donald Trump will be in their second election battle in 2024, reflecting the blockbuster contest that 2024 US presidential polls are emerging as.</p>

Typhoon Doksuri-battered China braces for more calamitous climate

<p>Russia's place in global arms export is being taken over by France, partly aided by New Delhi's&nbsp;imports from Paris. Between 2018 and 2022, France's share of the global arms trade increased from 7.1 per cent to 11 per cent, according to a Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) report published in March.</p>
